These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of the System. Subject to these Terms and Conditions, Provider hereby grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access and use the System to obtain ID Verification Reports in accordance with the provisions of these Terms and Conditions.
Provider will provide you with an Authentication ID. You shall control and maintain the security of your Authentication ID and you shall be responsible for all instructions, commitments and other actions or communications taken under your Authentication ID. You shall promptly report to Provider any errors or irregularities in the System or any unauthorized use and inform Provider immediately if your Authentication ID becomes known to any third person.
You agree:
1. not to sell, lease, transfer, provide or otherwise make available the System or any portion of the System to any third party, whether as a demonstration or otherwise;
2. not to frame, mirror, scrape or data-mine the System or any content in any form or by any means, and you will not attempt to access any restricted areas of the System;
3. to be responsible for all actions taken by you, and all communications made by you, while you access the System;
4. to comply with all laws that apply or may apply to your access of the System, including Privacy Laws;
5. to ensure that all devices used by yourself to access and use the System are placed in a secure location, and that such devices are secured when not in use through such means as screen locks or shutting power controls off;
6. you will not share your Authentication ID with anyone including your staff and associates;
7. you will not use the System for personal (non-business), improper or unlawful purposes;
8. that if you cease working for your Organization, or if you otherwise cease your association with the Organization, you will immediately return all documentation and information associated with the System to your Organization, and you agree you will not access the System even if your Authentication ID still allows for access to the System.

11. The System has a search function that allows Authorized Users to search for ID Verification Reports generated by other organizations for which they have been granted access. This search function is in addition to the ability of an Authorized User to search for ID Verification Reports that have been generated by their Organization. The ability to search for ID Verification Reports generated by other organizations is turned off by default, but an Administrator may turn it on so that Authorized Users in the Organization can search for ID Verification Reports generated by other organizations for which they have been granted access by the other organization. If the ability to search for ID Verification Reports generated by other organizations is turned on you agree to:
· only search for ID Verification Reports that relate directly to transactions you are contemplating, or have entered in to, and for which you have consent to receive it from the individual to whom the ID Verification Report relates; and,

This requires providing access to the ID Verification Report to other organizations. The sharing of ID Verification Reports generated by your Organization is turned off by default, but an Administrator can turn it on so that ID Verification Reports generated by your Organization can be accessed by other organizations. You agree that you will not sell, lease, transfer, provide or otherwise make available an ID Verification Report to any third party other than the individual whose identity is being verified, whether as a demonstration or otherwise, other than through the sharing function in the System and only to the other organizations that have a legitimate interest in having access to the report.
