UCC FILING SERVICE
Unisearch Inc. is hereby providing access to its proprietary software, and/or a third
party’s software supplied by the Licensor (collectively, the “Service”) to the end user thereof
(“User”) on the condition that the User accepts all the terms contained in this User
Agreement (“Agreement”). By accessing the Service, a person becomes a User and is deemed
to accept and bind itself to this Agreement, as follows:
SERVICE.
Unisearch, Inc. provides nationwide public record information, document retrieval
and related services as provided by Unisearch from time to time ("Services") using its
proprietary databases and information obtained from third parties ("Third Parties"). User
hereby subscribes to Services for use as a factor in making its business decisions and
agrees to pay to Unisearch the applicable rates and charges therefore set forth.
PERFORMANCE.
Unisearch will use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver Services as requested
by User in an expeditious and efficient manner and to regularly access, update, augment and
maintain its compilation of information gathered from selected public records and other sources
used in the provision of Services hereunder. User accepts all information AS IS. Some services
assume the continued availability of data in a format suitable for fully automated analysis and
comparison. Should data become unavailable in that form, Unisearch may cease providing those services
at any time.
CHARGES TO USER.
User agrees to pay to Unisearch the applicable charge then prevailing for Services rendered to User.
User shall pay to Unisearch prices as updated from time to time through on-line announcements. user
bulletins, and published price schedules; i.e., "List of Records and Rates." All current and future
Uniseach pricing documents are deemed incorporated herein.
USER USE LIMITATIONS.

applicable copyright and related laws in the databases and materials contained therein used to provide
Services hereunder, and User shall use such materials consistent with such right, title and interest
and notify Unisearch of any threatened or actual infringement thereof. User further acknowledges that
this Agreement grants User a limited license in exchange for payment of the fees and charges set forth
hereof and User shall not reproduce, retransmit, publish or otherwise transfer for commercial exploitation
any information that User receives from Services, except to employees whose duties reasonably relate to the
legitimate business purposes for which the information is requested and legally in the ordinary course of its
business. User shall at no time represent that it is the authorized agent or representative of Unisearch or any
Third Party.
NEGATION OF LIABILITY/WARRANTY.
NEITHER UNISEARCH NOR THIRD PARTIES SHALL BE LIABLE TO USER OR TO ANY PERSON
CLAIMING THROUGH USER OR TO WHOM USER MAY HAVE PROVIDED SERVICE-RELATED DATA FOR ANY LOSS OR INJURY ARISING
OUT OF OR CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY UNISEARCH OR THIRD PARTIES’ NEGLIGENT ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN PROCURING,
COMPILING, COLLECTING, INTERPRETING, REPORTING, COMMUNICATING, OR DELIVERING SERVICES OR IN OTHERWISE PROVIDING
THE SERVICE OR PERFORMING THIS AGREEMENT. USER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EVERY BUSINESS DECISION INVOLVES ASSUMPTION OF A
RISK, AND THAT NEITHER UNISEARCH NOR ANY THIRD PARTY UNDERWRITES THAT RISK IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER. IF, NOTWITHSTANDING
THE FOREGOING, LIABILITY CAN BE IMPOSED ON UNISEARCH, INC. OR A THIRD PARTY, THEN USER AGREES THAT UNISEARCH
AND/OR THIRD PARTIES’ AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL LOSSES OR INJURIES TO USER ARISING OUT OF ANY ACT OR OMISSION
OF UNISEARCH AND/OR THIRD PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH ANYTHING TO BE DONE OR FURNISHED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS
OF THE CAUSE OF THE LOSS OR INJURY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) AND REGARDLESS OF THE NATURE OF THE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RIGHT
CLAIMED TO HAVE BEEN VIOLATED, SHALL NEVER EXCEED THE COST OF THE SERVICE OR SERVICES TO WHICH A GIVEN CLAIM RELATES CHARGED
TO USER, AND USER COVENANTS AND PROMISES THAT IT WILL NOT SUE UNISEARCH AND/OR THIRD PARTIES FOR AN AMOUNT GREATER THAN SUCH
AMOUNT EVEN IF UNISEARCH AND OR THIRD PARTIES WERE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND THAT IT WILL NOT SEEK
PUNITIVE DAMAGES IN ANY SUIT AGAINST UNISEARCH AND/OR THIRD PARTIES. ALL IN CONSIDERATION OF THE RECEIPT BY USER OF SERVICES
AT THE RATES CHARGED BY UNISEARCH HEREUNDER, WHICH ARE FAR LOWER THAN WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO USER ABSENT THE WAIVERS AND DISCLAIMERS
CONTAINED HEREIN. UNISEASRCH AND THIRD PARTIES DO NOT MAKE AND HEREBY DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. UNISEARCH AND/OR
THIRD PARTIES DO NOT GUARANTEE OR WARRANT THE CORRECTNESS, COMPLETENESS, CURRENTNESS, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE OF THE SERVICES OF THE COMPONENTS THEREOF.

in accordance with the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act from one or more consumer reporting agencies in connection with this application.
Subsequent consumer credit reports may be required or used by Unisearch in connection with any update, renewal or extension or credit
to User. Upon request, User will be informed whether any consumer credit reporting report was requested and, if so, the name and address
of the consumer credit agency that furnished the report to Unisearch.

claims, demands, damages, losses and liabilities (including actual attorneys’ fees) arising from or in any way related to use of information

of Unisearch or Third Parties.
MISCELLANEOUS.
This Agreement (including all pricing documents, Schedules, Addenda and Exhibits) sets forth the entire understanding and Agreement between
Unisearch and User and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements or representations, except that access to and use of
Third Party services may be governed by terms and conditions different than or in addition to those herein. By receipt of Services, User agrees
to, and shall comply with, such different and/or additional terms of third Parties and such changes to this Agreement as Unisearch shall make
from time to time by notice to User. Except for terms of Third Parties, modification of this Agreement may be made only by written amendment, duly
executed by both parties. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict
of laws provisions. Violation by User of state or federal laws or Unisearch or Third Parties’ established policies and procedures may result in
immediate termination of this Agreement is Unisearch’s sole discretion.
User or their agents will not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, techniques, processes, algorithms,
know-how or other information from the code portions of the Service (collectively, "Reverse Engineering") or permit or induce the foregoing. If however,
directly applicable law prohibits enforcement of the foregoing, User or their agents may engage in Reverse Engineering solely for purposes of obtaining
such information as is necessary to achieve interoperability of independently created software with the Service, or as otherwise and to the limited extent
permitted by directly applicable law, but only if: (a) Reverse Engineering is strictly necessary to obtain such information; and (b) User or their agents
has first requested such information from Unisearch and Unisearch failed to make such information available (for a fee or otherwise) under reasonable terms
and conditions. Any information supplied to or obtained by User or their agents under this section is confidential information of Unisearch subject to the
obligations of confidentiality, may only be used by User or their agents for the purpose described in this section, and will not be disclosed to any third party
or used to create any software which is substantially similar to the expression of the Unisearch technology.
By continuing to use this site, I agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this User Agreement and that I am authorized to do so.
