VII. FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT FOR SUBSCRIBERS RESIDING IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act allows you to obtain from each credit reporting agency a disclosure of all the information in your credit file at the time of the request. Full disclosure of information in your file at a credit reporting agency must be obtained directly from such credit reporting agency. The credit reports provided or requested through our Site are not intended to constitute the disclosure of information by a credit reporting agency as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act or similar laws.
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act you are entitled to receive an annual free disclosure of your credit report from each of the national credit reporting agencies. To request your free annual report under the FCRA, you must go to www.annualcreditreport.com. You can also contact the central source to request this free annual disclosure by calling toll free (877) 322-8228.
You are entitled to receive a free copy of your credit report from a credit reporting agency if:
You have been denied or were otherwise notified of an adverse action related to credit, insurance, employment, or a government granted license or other government granted benefit within the past sixty (60) days based on information in a credit report provided by such agency.
You have been denied house/apartment rental or were required to pay a higher deposit than usually required within the past sixty (60) days based on information in a credit report provided by such agency.
You certify in writing that you are unemployed and intend to apply for employment during the sixty (60) day period beginning on the date on which you made such certification.
You certify in writing that you are a recipient of public welfare assistance.
You certify in writing that you have reason to believe that your file at such credit reporting agency contains inaccurate information due to fraud.
In addition, if you reside in the state of Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, or Vermont, you are entitled to receive a free copy of your credit report once a year and if you reside in the state of Georgia, you are entitled to receive a free copy of your credit report twice a year. For Illinois residents, credit reporting agencies are required by law to give you a copy of your credit record upon request at no charge or for a nominal fee. Otherwise, a consumer reporting agency may impose a reasonable charge for providing you with a copy of your credit report.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act provides that you may dispute inaccurate or incomplete information in your credit report. YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PURCHASE YOUR CREDIT REPORT FROM TRUECREDIT IN ORDER TO DISPUTE INACCURATE OR INCOMPLETE INFORMATION IN YOUR REPORT OR TO RECEIVE A COPY OF YOUR REPORT FROM EQUIFAX, EXPERIAN, TRANSUNION OR ANY AFFILIATED THEREOF, THE THREE NATIONAL CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES, OR FROM ANY OTHER CREDIT REPORTING AGENCY.
It may be the policies of Equifax, Experian and/or TransUnion (or their affiliates) to provide a complimentary copy of the consumer credit report under circumstances other than those described above. If you wish to contact Equifax, Experian or TransUnion to obtain a copy of your credit report directly from such agency or if you wish to dispute information contained in an Equifax, Experian or TransUnion credit report file, please contact them as follows:
Equifax: 1-800-685-1111

In the event that AVG is subject to any claim for which we have the right to be indemnified by you, we will have the right to, at your expense, assume the exclusive defense and control of any such claim, and you will not in any event settle any claim without our prior written consent.

- we are required to do so by law (for example, where the provision of the Services to you is, or becomes, prohibited by law); or
- the provision of the Services to you by us is, in our opinion, no longer commercially viable, whereby paid subscription fees for the remaining period of the Initial Term or, as the case may be, the Renewal Term, shall be refunded to you on a pro-rata basis.

When these Terms of Use come to an end, all of the legal rights, obligations and liabilities that you and AVG have benefited from, been subject to (or which have accrued over time while the Terms of Use have been in force) or which are expressed to continue indefinitely, shall be unaffected by this cessation, and the provisions of Articles III, IV, V and VIII-XII, inclusive, shall continue to apply to such rights, obligations and liabilities indefinitely.
XII. Miscellaneous
A. No waiver of any breach of any provision of these Terms of Use or of any agreement with AVG will constitute a waiver of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent breach of the same or other provisions or of any such agreement. All waivers must be in writing. If any court of competent jurisdiction finds any part or provision of these Terms of Use or of any other agreement between you and AVG to be invalid or unenforceable, such findings will have no effect on any other part or provision of these Terms of Use or any other agreement between you and AVG.
B. AVG is not responsible for delay or failure to perform due to causes beyond our reasonable control.
C. The AVG Identity Alert Subscription Agreement is incorporated into and made an integral part of these Terms of Use.
