YOUR USE OF THE EQUIPMENTGUARD APPLICATIONS

EquipmentGuard provides a service that retrieves public records and publicly available sources of information aggregated for your convenience. The EquipmentGuard searches, including its background checks, made available by and through the EquipmentGuard Applications, are provided for informational purposes only. While we are constantly updating and refining our services, we do not represent or warrant that the results provided will be 100% accurate and up to date and, as such, EquipmentGuard shall not be responsible or liable for the accuracy, usefulness, availability or unavailability of any information transmitted or made available via the EquipmentGuard Applications. EquipmentGuard does not make any representation or warranty as to the character or the integrity of the person, business, or entity that is the subject of any EquipmentGuard searches. EquipmentGuard also reserves the right to delete any information from its databases at any time.

EQUIPMENTGUARD IS NOT A CREDIT REPORTING AGENCY FOR PURPOSES OF THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT (“FCRA”). AS SUCH, THE ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS AFFORDED TO CONSUMERS, AND OBLIGATIONS PLACED UPON CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES, ARE NOT CONTEMPLATED BY, NOR CONTAINED WITHIN, THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

Restrictions on your Use of our Services

You may not use any information obtained from our searches, including, without limitation, the EquipmentGuard background checks, in connection with determining a prospective candidate’s suitability for:

Health insurance or any other insurance
Credit and/or loans
Employment
Education, scholarships or fellowships
Housing or other accommodations
Benefits, privileges or services provided by any business establishment

Limited Guarantee

Most of the Services accessible from EquipmentGuard Applications come with a limited guarantee; this means that if your search does not return any results, we may provide you with another search, at no additional cost to you, but will not refund your purchase. You acknowledge that the Services are provided "as is." You are paying for us to conduct a search on your behalf, not to return any particular result. Information is often obtained by third parties and the accuracy of the information cannot be guaranteed. Users should use extreme caution when interpreting search results. Some of the information provided in searches is based upon logic-based assumptions from information in a database compiled from public records regarding individuals’ names, addresses, ages, last names and the dates which correspond to these names, addresses and ages. We may also provide you publicly available marriage and divorce records when you conduct a search using our Services. Positive or false matches based on our assumptions or records may not provide conclusive confirmation of an individual’s status (marital or otherwise). Therefore, we urge you to independently verify any information you gather from our EquipmentGuard Applications as a possibility exists that our search results could be inaccurate.

Personal Use Only

The EquipmentGuard Applications, the content and the Services are intended for your personal, noncommercial use in accordance with these Terms. You agree that you will not, unless specifically permitted by us (i) copy, display or distribute any part of the content or EquipmentGuard Applications, in any medium, without EquipmentGuard prior written consent, or (ii) alter or modify any part of the EquipmentGuard Applications other than as may be reasonably necessary to use the EquipmentGuard Applications for their intended purpose. You further agree that you will not use any automated devices, such as spiders, robots or data mining techniques to download, store or otherwise reproduce, store or distribute content or to manipulate the EquipmentGuard Applications or Services.

EquipmentGuard does not scrub any phone numbers displayed on EquipmentGuard.com through the National Do Not Call Registry or any other do-not-call registries.

Legal Notices about your Searches

We have not considered or assessed the specific risk that any convicted sex offender displayed on a search will commit another offense or the nature of any future crimes that may be committed. Only information on registered sex offenders allowed to be legally disclosed appears on a search. Some registered sex offenders are not subject to public disclosure, so that they are not included on the search. State law does not allow offenses other than the crimes for which the convicted sex offender is required to register to be disclosed. Extreme care must be taken in the use of information in a search because mistaken identity may occur when relying solely upon name, age, and address to identify individuals. If you believe that any information in a search is in error, please contact a police or sheriff's department, or contact the Department of Justice by e-mail at MegansLaw@doj.ca.gov. In some states, like California, it is illegal to use information obtained through public records to commit a crime against a registered sex offender or to engage in discrimination or harassment against a registered sex offender. Criminal misuse of this information subjects the person who misuses it to a sentence enhancement, in addition to the punishment for the crime committed. Civil misuse of this information may subject the person to civil damages and penalties pursuant to California Penal Code Section 290.4 (e) (3) (A).

Registration Obligations

In consideration of your use of the EquipmentGuard Applications, you represent and agree that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving our Services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction and will provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by EquipmentGuard Applications. EquipmentGuard reserves the right to deny, in its sole discretion, any user access to the EquipmentGuard Applications or Services without notice for any or no reason.

Security of Username and Password

You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information for any EquipmentGuard Applications you interact with.

We will not be liable for any loss that you may incur as a result of someone else using your password or account, either with or without your knowledge. However, you will be liable for losses incurred by EquipmentGuard or another party due to someone else using your account or password.

RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES

Governing Law.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without application of conflict of laws rules.

Resolution of any Dispute.

In the event a dispute arises between you and EquipmentGuard, we want to provide you with an efficient, neutral and cost-effective means of resolving the dispute. Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by calling our Customer Care Department, or by emailing us using our contact form located at https://www.equipmentguard.io/contact. If, however, there is an issue that needs to be resolved, these Terms describe how both of us will proceed.

Limitation of Legal Remedies.

INSTEAD OF SUING IN COURT, YOU AND COMPANY EACH AGREE TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES ON A BILATERAL (INDIVIDUAL) BASIS. ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE, AND YOU WAIVE, THE RIGHT FOR A JUDGE OR JURY TO DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS, AND THAT YOU MAY NOT PROCEED IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. You and EquipmentGuard agree that any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to any aspect of our relationship; the Content accessible from EquipmentGuard Applications; claims that may arise after the termination of your membership; and claims related to marketing efforts, including complaints concerning unsolicited text messages, emails, and telemarketing calls ("Claim(s)") which cannot be settled through the Customer Care Department refunding your payments in full, shall be resolved by one arbitrator through binding arbitration. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes Claims based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory. The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with some exceptions under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. 1, et seq., and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

Class Action Waiver.

We each agree that each of us are waiving the right to a trial by jury and may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity and not in a class action or representative proceeding. All arbitrations under these Terms shall be conducted on an individual (and not a class-wide) basis, and an arbitrator shall have no authority to award class-wide relief. You acknowledge and agree that these Terms specifically prohibit you from commencing any legal proceedings as a representative of others or joining in any arbitration proceedings brought by any other person (“class action waiver”).

Arbitration Procedures.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other a written Notice of Dispute describing the nature and basis of the Claim and setting forth the specific relief sought. All notices to EquipmentGuard shall be sent to the following address: 58 East 1st North, Rexburg, ID 83440. All notices to you will be sent to the email provided in your Account or by you. Upon receipt of such Notice of Dispute, the other party shall have a sixty (60) day period in which it may satisfy the Claim against it by fully curing the Claim and/or providing all the relief requested in the Notice of Dispute, and/or entering into a settlement to resolve the Claim to the mutual satisfaction of the parties. After the expiration of such sixty-day cure period, you or EquipmentGuard may commence an arbitration proceeding. The arbitration of any Claim under this Agreement shall be referred to the JAMS (“JAMS”) under its rules and procedures, including the JAMS's Comprehensive Arbitration Rules. These rules and procedures are available by calling the JAMS or by visiting its web site at www.jamsadr.com. For any non-frivolous claim that does not exceed $10,000 EquipmentGuard will: (1) pay all costs of the arbitration; and (2) if you prefer will conduct the arbitration by telephone. Attorneys’ fees are recoverable by the prevailing party.

Choice of Law.

This arbitration agreement concerns a transaction in interstate commerce, and therefore shall be governed by the United States Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. The FAA’s provisions, not state law, govern all questions of whether a dispute is subject to arbitration.

Venue.

The parties hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of Idaho and agree that any litigation arising out of this agreement, whether in arbitration or judicial proceedings, shall be conducted in Madison County, Idaho.

Exception.

Any claim or action for indemnification, contribution, interpleader or injunctive relief arising out of a Claim shall not be subject to arbitration.

Survival.

This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this agreement and the closing of your account or membership.

Severability.

If any provision of these Terms is declared or found to be unlawful, unenforceable or void, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent that it is found unlawful, unenforceable or void, and the remainder of the provision and all other provisions shall remain fully enforceable except that if for some reason this prohibition on class action waiver cannot be enforced, then this agreement to arbitrate will not apply.

MISCELLANEOUS

These Terms and policies incorporated herein ("Policies"), are the entire agreement between you and EquipmentGuard. They supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements between you and EquipmentGuard relating to your use of the EquipmentGuard Applications or the Services. EquipmentGuard may assign these Terms in whole or in part, at any time. If any part of these Terms, other than class action waiver as set forth above, is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, it will not impact any other provision of these Terms, all of which will remain in full force and effect. Headings in these Terms are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation or construction of these Terms. The failure of EquipmentGuard to partially or fully exercise any rights or the waiver of EquipmentGuard of any breach of these Terms by you, shall not prevent a subsequent exercise of such right by EquipmentGuard or be deemed a waiver by EquipmentGuard of any subsequent breach by you of the same or any other term of these Terms. The rights and remedies of EquipmentGuard under these Terms, its Policies and any other applicable agreement between you and EquipmentGuard shall be cumulative, and the exercise of any such right or remedy shall not limit EquipmentGuard right to exercise any other right or remedy.

Terms and Conditions
