2. ACCEPTANCE. The Buyer, by entering into this Agreement, accepts all terms and conditions hereof. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and takes precedence over any and all previous verbal or written arrangements in connection with Services performed by SkyGuard for Buyer. Any deletions, modifications, alterations of, or additions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to be binding, shall be in writing and signed by authorized representatives of both Buyer and SkyGuard.

3. PAYMENT. All charges are payable in advance. All sales, property, excise and other federal, state or local taxes (other than those taxes based upon SkyGuard's net income), including interest and penalties, shall be paid by Buyer. Our Services will begin upon activation through your member account on our website. Our Services are provided on a month-to-month basis and will automatically renew for successive thirty (30) day terms unless terminated by either party's written notice before the end of the then-current term. If terminated, this Agreement ends on the last day of the then-current term. You authorize us to obtain a NON-INVESTIGATIVE CONSUMER REPORT about you from a consumer reporting agency at any time during the term. We have the right to increase the monthly service charge at any time. We will provide you written notice of any increase at least thirty (30) days before the increase takes effect.

4. EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY AND REMEDY. THE EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY OF SKYGUARD AND THE EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IS THAT THE SERVICES SHALL BE PERFORMED IN A GOOD AND WORKMANLIKE MANNER. IN THE EVENT THIS WARRANTY IS BREACHED, THE SOLE OBLIGATION OF SKYGUARD, AND THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF BUYER, SHALL BE TO HAVE ALL REASONABLE ADJUSTMENTS, REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS NECESSARY TO CORRECT ANY SUCH DEFECT MADE AT THE SOLE COST AND EXPENSE OF SKYGUARD, SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATION SPECIFIED IN PARAGRAPH 5. SKYGUARD MAKES NO OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANIES CONCERNING ANY SERVICES OR ANY OTHER ITEMS PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. SKYGUARD HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, WARRANTY FOR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR ANY OTHER WARRANTIES NOT OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH HEREIN.

5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL SKYGUARD BE LIABLE IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOST PROFITS OR DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF DATA, EVEN IF SKYGUARD HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE SAME. IF IT IS DETERMINED THAT WE OR ANY OF OUR AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES OR PARENT COMPANIES ARE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SUCH LOSS, DAMAGE, INJURY OR OTHER CONSEQUENCE, YOU AGREE THAT DAMAGES SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE LESSER OF $20 OR AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU UNDER THIS CONTRACT. THESE AGREED UPON DAMAGES ARE NOT A PENALTY. THEY ARE YOUR SOLE REMEDY NO MATTER HOW THE LOSS, DAMAGE, INJURY OR OTHER CONSEQUENCE IS CAUSED, EVEN IF CAUSED BY OUR NEGLIGENCE, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, FAILURE TO PERFORM DUTIES UNDER THIS CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY APPLICABLE LAW, OR OTHER FAULT. AT YOUR REQUEST, WE MAY ASSUME ADDITIONAL LIABILITY BY ATTACHING AN AMENDMENT TO THIS CONTRACT STATING THE EXTENT OF OUR ADDITIONAL LIABILITY AND THE ADDITIONAL COST TO YOU. YOU AGREE THAT WE ARE NOT AN INSURER EVEN IF WE ENTER INTO ANY SUCH AN AMENDMENT.

6. SERVICE GUARANTEE. The Service Guarantee is provided in support of our Services under this agreement and is provided without additional charge. The Service Guarantee is provided by ID Armor, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Corporation ("ID Armor"). You acknowledge and agree that ID Armor is solely responsible for performance of the Service Guarantee, and SkyGuard in no way guarantees or warrants ID Armor's ability to perform its responsibilities under the terms the Service Guarantee. IN NO EVENT SHALL SKYGUARD BE LIABLE IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER IF ID ARMOR FAILS TO PERFORM ITS RESPONSIBILITIES RELATIVE TO THE SERVICE GUARANTEE. The terms of the Service Guarantee are as follows:

a. If you are our client when someone accesses your personal identifying information and subsequently uses it without your authorization to commit a fraud, due to a failure or defect in our Service, and you have complied with this Agreement, subject to the terms herein, ID Armor will pay professionals to assist in restoring any such loss or recover such expenses, as required, provided however that the maximum limit of ID Armor's Service Guarantee is $1 (one) million per lifetime for all incidents in the aggregate.

b. You must be truthful with us and you must tell us of the use of your personal identifying information without your authorization to commit a fraud within 30 days of first learning of it. You agree to cooperate with those we or ID Armor hires to help you.

c. If you need professional assistance to help remediate damages caused by the failure or defect in our Service, ID Armor will arrange for, and cover the expense of, that assistance to be provided to you through persons or firms ID Armor selects; ID Armor will not reimburse fees of professionals or other service providers unless ID Armor chooses those providers for your particular matter. Any such professionals, if required or applicable, will be licensed in the jurisdiction where your particular matter resides.

d. ID Armor will cure any failure or defect in the Services, resulting in damages you incur, subject to the terms of this Agreement as follows: If the amount involved is over $1,000, ID Armor reserves the right to investigate the Service Guarantee request in order to determine whether the request is valid before ID Armor does anything else. ID Armor will perform its investigation as promptly as it can. If its investigation shows that a reasonable person would conclude that your personal identifying information was used without your authorization to commit a fraud while you were our client and you have complied with all of this Agreement, ID Armor will perform as described herein.

e. If we or ID Armor find that you intentionally misrepresented damages or committed a fraud related crime and misrepresented that you were our client when your information was misused, you agree to pay us back upon demand any amount we and/or ID Armor have paid in connection with your claim, including any costs we and/or ID Armor incur to collect the money from you. Being found guilty of a crime related to the loss which you attributed to identity theft is sufficient evidence to conclude that we and/or ID Armor are entitled to recover all amounts paid on your behalf as described above, but it is not the only basis upon which we and/or ID Armor may so conclude.

f. Similarly, should ID Armor decline your Service Guarantee request following its investigation and that decision subsequently is determined to have been wrong, ID Armor will honor its Service Guarantee.

g. ID ARMOR'S SERVICE GUARANTEE IS SIMPLE, BUT IT IS LIMITED. ID ARMOR WILL PAY UP TO $1,000,000 TO CURE THE FAILURE OR DEFECT IN OUR SERVICE, PER CLIENT, PER LIFETIME FOR ALL INCIDENTS IN THE AGGREGATE, REGARDLESS OF CIRCUMSTANCE (‡ IN NORTH CAROLINA, ID ARMOR WILL MAKE PAYMENTS TO PROFESSIONALS ID ARMOR CHOOSES). ID ARMOR WILL NOT MAKE PAYMENTS TO YOU FOR ANY LOSS YOU MAY INCUR. OTHER THAN ITS SERVICE GUARANTEE, AND EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET OUT HEREIN ID ARMOR MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY ABOUT OUR SERVICE OF ANY KIND, AND ID ARMOR DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OUTSIDE OF ITS SERVICE GUARANTEE, SUCH AS A WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OF OUR SERVICE FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

7. NONDISCLOSURE.

In the event that either (a) Buyer is the subject of claims for which Buyer properly seeks damages from SkyGuard under this Agreement, or (b) SkyGuard is subject to any claim for which it has the right to be indemnified by Buyer, SkyGuard reserves the right at its expense in the case of claims in clause (a) and at Buyer's expense in the case of claims in clause (b), to assume the exclusive defense and control of any such claim, and Buyer will not in any event settle any such claim without SkyGuard's written consent.
