ESA may, at its discretion, modify or discontinue any of the Services or Websites, or any portion thereof, with or without notice. You agree that ESA will not be liable to you, your minor children or any third party for any modification or discontinuance of any of the Service or Websites.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

The Services and Websites are meant to provide monitoring of your specific personal information, as requested by you, on various websites and data points and alert you if your specific personal information appears on any of these websites and data points. The Services and Websites are meant for your personal use only.

If made available to you, some of the Services may require a fee at the time of Service purchase or enrollment, such as membership Services that require the payment of an ongoing fee for ESA’s provision of such Services. By purchasing such Services and providing payment information, you represent that you are authorized to utilize the payment method presented and agree to pay the specified fee for paid Services, including any method offered or used through a mobile application. Furthermore, you agree and authorize us to, for time to time: (i) submit a transaction using the card information provided, (ii) in the case of automatic recurring transactions, submit a transaction on a recurring basis (e.g., monthly or annual basis) for membership renewals, (iii) if necessary, obtain updates from card issuers for cards provided to us, (iv) if necessary, bill you, in a prorated manner (as required), in accordance with the particular fee terms for the Service you are purchasing or enrolling in, including if you are transitioning between free or paid Services (or vice versa), when a recurring basis transaction is at issue, and (v) if necessary (and applicable) bill your mobile carrier or others via a mobile application if you authorize us to do so. You may cancel your subscription or enrollment for an ongoing paid Service at any time by calling Customer Care or by using any other method specified on the Websites.

You acknowledge and agree that ESA (including its Services and/or Websites) has not and does not provide you legal, tax, financial, or other advice (including, without limitation, advice on how to improve or repair your credit or credit scores), and that its Services and/or Websites are not designed or intended to provide any such advice.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

SUMMARY:

MOST CUSTOMER CONCERNS CAN BE RESOLVED QUICKLY AND TO THE CUSTOMER’S SATISFACTION BY CALLING ESA’S CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT AT 0861 105 665. IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT ESA’S CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT IS UNABLE TO RESOLVE A COMPLAINT YOU MAY HAVE REGARDING A SERVICE OR WEBSITE TO YOUR SATISFACTION (OR IF ESA HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE A DISPUTE IT HAS WITH YOU AFTER ATTEMPTING TO DO SO INFORMALLY), WE EACH AGREE TO RESOLVE THOSE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT INSTEAD OF IN COURTS OF GENERAL JURISDICTION TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. ARBITRATION IS MORE INFORMAL THAN A LAWSUIT IN COURT. ARBITRATION USES A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF A JUDGE OR JURY, ALLOWS FOR MORE LIMITED DISCOVERY THAN IN COURT, AND IS SUBJECT TO VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY COURTS. ARBITRATORS CAN AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF THAT A COURT CAN AWARD. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. ESA WILL PAY ALL COSTS OF ARBITRATION, NO MATTER WHO WINS, SO LONG AS YOUR CLAIM IS NOT FRIVOLOUS. HOWEVER, IN ARBITRATION, BOTH YOU AND ESA WILL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ATTORNEYS’ FEES FROM THE OTHER PARTY TO THE SAME EXTENT AS YOU WOULD BE IN COURT.

Arbitration Agreement:

(a) ESA and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us arising out of this Agreement directly related to the Services or Websites, except any disputes or claims which under governing law are not subject to arbitration. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted and to make all disputes and claims between us directly relating to the provision of any Service and/or your use of any Website subject to arbitration to the fullest extent permitted by law. The agreement to arbitrate otherwise includes, but is not limited to: claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us arising out of any Service or Website, whether based in contract, tort, statute (including, without limitation, the NCA, Electronic Communications and Transactions act no 25 of 2002) (“ECTA”) and the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013(“POPIA”), as amended from time to time) fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before this or any prior Agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising); claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.

For purposes of this arbitration provision, references to “ESA,” “you,” and “us” shall include our respective parent entities, subsidiaries, affiliates (including, without limitation, our service provider, CSID), agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors and assigns, websites of the foregoing, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of Services and/or Websites or information under this or prior Agreements between us relating to Services and/or Websites. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and ESA are each waiving the right to institute a claim in court.

(b) A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by registered mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to ESA should be addressed to: africalegal@experian.com(“Notice Address”). The Notice must describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and set forth the specific relief you seek from ESA (“Demand”). If ESA and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or ESA may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by ESA or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or ESA is entitled.

(d) The dispute will be referred to arbitration in terms of the expedited rules of the Arbitration Foundation of the Republic of South Africa (“AFSA”).The arbitrator shall be appointed by AFSA and the unsuccessful Party shall pay the costs of the arbitration.Both the Subscriber and Experian shall keep the fact that a dispute has arisen, the record of the arbitration proceedings, as well as the arbitrator’s decision, confidential.Notwithstanding the above provisions, the Parties retain the right to institute action in any court of law with jurisdiction to obtain urgent, interim relief.

(f) YOU AND ESA AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and ESA agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. If this specific subparagraph (f) is found to be unenforceable in its entirety, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.

(g) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if ESA makes any change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the Notice Address) during your membership in any Service, including credit monitoring, or subsequent to your purchase of any Service, you may reject any such change and require ESA to adhere to the language in this provision as written at the time of your enrollment or purchase if a dispute between us arises regarding such Service.
