Exhibit (10)(g)
RESELLER SERVICES AGREEMENT
This Reseller Services Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into
effective as of November __, 1997, by and between First American CREDCO, a
Washington corporation, having a principal address as set forth at the end of
this Agreement ("FAC"), and Experian Information Solutions, Inc., an Ohio
corporation acting through its Information Solutions Division ("Experian").
Experian and FAC agree as follows:
Article 1
Term
1.1 Term. Subject to Section 7.2 of this Agreement, this Agreement will
continue in force, without any fixed date of termination ("Term").
Article 2
Credit Reporting Services
2.1 Generally. During the Term, FAC may request that Experian provide FAC with
the services listed on the attached pricing schedule (hereinafter referred to,
together with the information therein, as the "Services") to the extent offered
from time to time by Experian and permitted by this Agreement. The Services may
consist of consumer identifying information and/or consumer credit information
on individual consumers ("Consumers"). Experian hereby grants FAC a
nonexclusive, nontransferable limited license to resell the Services consistent
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
2.2 Method of Performance. FAC will request the Services from Experian by
electronic means. Each such request will contain sufficient identifying
information concerning the Consumer about whom the information is requested to
enable Experian to perform the Services, and will identify in the manner
specified by Experian, the fact that the request is being made by FAC.
2.3 Status As Consumer Reporting Agency. For purposes of this Agreement, the
parties agree that FAC certifies that it is a "consumer reporting agency" as
such term is defined in the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Article 3
Fees
3.1 Generally. With respect to each response from Experian (including each "no
record" response) to a request for Services made by FAC, FAC will pay Experian
the fees set forth in the attached pricing schedule. Experian and FAC agree to
renegotiate the fees on an annual basis (except as agreed on a particular
pricing schedule) during the Term based on the calendar year. FAC's payment to
Experian is due not later than thirty (30) days after FAC's receipt of
Experian's invoice. If FAC does not pay invoiced amounts within this time
period, it may, at Experian's option, also pay interest on the unpaid amount at
the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate
allowed by law, whichever is less. FAC's obligation to pay invoiced amounts is
absolute and unconditional and not subject to any offset, defense or
counterclaim.
-1-
3.2 Taxes. The prices and rates for the Services do not include applicable
federal, state or local taxes. FAC will be solely responsible for all federal,
state, and local taxes levied or assessed in connection with Experian's
performance of Services, other than income taxes assessed with respect to
Experian's net income. Experian may separately reflect on its invoices to FAC
the amount of any taxes paid by Experian on FAC's behalf, and FAC shall pay
Experian for such amounts.
Article 4
Use of Experian Information
4.1 Compliance with Law. FAC certifies and warrants that it will comply with
all federal, state and local statutes, regulations, and rules applicable to it,
including, without limitation, the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C.
(S)1681 et seq., as amended ("FCRA"). FAC further warrants that it will require
by written contract that its customers comply with the same obligations of
compliance with laws.
4.2 Use of Information. FAC agrees to comply with all of the following:
4.2.1 FAC hereby certifies that it will request the Services and the
information therein from Experian and resell such to its customers solely for
said customers' use in connection with credit granting, collections, employment,
insurance underwriting, or governmental licensing transactions between the
customer and the Consumer about whom the credit information relates, and will
not request, use or resell any such Services or information for any other
purpose, regardless of whether permitted by law. FAC will, in reselling the
Services, faithfully transmit the information accurately and in its entirety
(except to the extent as may be otherwise required by this Agreement or agreed
to by Experian in writing for approved merged reports.) FAC certifies that it
will provide Experian, at the time it requests the Services or information, the
name of the ultimate end user of the credit information and each FCRA
permissible purpose for which such information is furnished.
4.2.2 FAC agrees not to resell or otherwise transfer the Services in
whole or in part to bail bond companies, investigative companies (i.e., private
investigators), attorneys (other than attorneys whose sole and exclusive
practice is collections), news agencies or journalists, businesses which operate
out of a residence (except as permitted by Experian policies and procedures),
credit clinics, credit repair organizations, credit counseling services (except
as otherwise set forth in this Agreement), to any company or individual who is
known to have been involved in credit fraud or other unethical business
practices or to other types of organizations identified by Experian to FAC in
writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Experian may permit on a case-by-case
basis the resale of consumer identifying information to certain of the foregoing
in a manner consistent with Experian policy and procedure on the sale of
identifying information.
4.2.3 FAC hereby warrants that it will not, either directly or
indirectly, itself or through any agent or third party: (a) request, compile,
store, maintain or use the Services (including any of the information therein)
to build its own database (other than for file comparison purposes as approved
by Experian from time to time); (b) copy or otherwise reproduce the Services
(including any of the information therein) except to the minimal extent
necessary to provide standard consumer assistance or file comparison activities;
(c) resell or transfer the Services (including any of the information) to more
than one person or entity or to any person or entity who is not solely an end
user of the Services (including any of the information therein); (d) resell,
transmit or otherwise make available to any person the Services (including any
of the information therein) on or through the Internet or other generally
accessible network or delivery method without Experian's prior written consent;
or (e) resell or otherwise provide the Services (including any of the
information therein) pursuant to 15 U.S.C. (S)1681u (FCRA Section 625); or (f)
merge the Services (or any of the information therein) with any information from
a consumer reporting agency
-2-
other than for the creation of a merged report to be used solely for mortgage
reporting, tenant screening, or consumer disclosure pursuant to Section 4.2.5.
FAC will disclose to Experian the purpose for which the Services will be used.
Based on such disclosure, the pricing set forth in the attached Exhibit A shall
apply. FAC shall be solely responsible for assuring the delivery or
transmission of information to its customers in a manner that is secure and in
compliance with this Agreement.
4.2.4 FAC agrees to verify that each customer who is provided Services
is the end user and does not intend to resell or otherwise provide or transfer
the Services in whole or in part to any other person or entity. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Exhibit B hereto lists those agents of FAC that are permitted to
resell the Services one additional time. The parties must mutually agree in
writing to the addition of agents to Exhibit B.
4.2.5 Experian hereby grants to FAC a nonexclusive, nontransferable,
limited license to resell directly to the Consumer(s) pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the Amendment to Reseller Services Agreement For Resales to
Consumers which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. FAC may provide a
disclosure copy to a subject Consumer who has been denied a benefit and
requested disclosure; provided, however, that FAC will provide only a copy of
the information that was provided by FAC to its customer, and will not attempt
to access Experian's systems to obtain additional information or copies of the
previously provided services. FAC will refer all Customers who have questions
or disputes about information in the Services or in Experian's consumer credit
files to the telephone number and/or address for Experian's National Consumer
Assistance Center (as such are provided to FAC from time to time by Experian,
and not to Experian's telephone number for complimentary credit reports). In no
event will FAC attempt to, or hold itself out to the consumer or to the public
as being able to, handle disputes on behalf of Experian or to reinvestigate
information in Experian's files. In no event will FAC attempt to have
information on a Consumer's credit or identifying information changed or altered
in any way other than by forwarding the customer to Experian's National Consumer
Assistance Center.
4.2.6 FAC agrees to sign a "Experian Reseller Employment Report
Addendum" before reselling credit information for employment purposes, and FAC
agrees to complete and sign the "End User Investigation Requirements - Tenant
Screening" before reselling information for tenant screening. FAC certifies
that reports on its employees will only be requested by its designated
representative approved by Experian, and that its employees will not request
Services relating to themselves, their families or friends, or request consumer
report information on other persons other than as permitted by the FCRA and
Experian policies.
4.2.7 FAC will not act or provide at any time or in any way, and will
not hold itself out as providing credit clinic, credit repair, credit counseling
or similar services.
4.3 Experian Policies and Procedures. In addition to the requirements set
forth in Section 4.2, FAC agrees to the following:
4.3.1 FAC agrees to comply with Experian's policies and procedures as
announced by Experian from time to time, including those attached to this
Agreement entitled "Experian Permissible Purpose Guidelines for Resellers" and
"Experian Permissible Purpose Type Codes." FAC also agrees to conduct a
thorough investigation of its customers and potential customers to confirm that
each has a "permissible purpose" for receiving the Services, and otherwise
complies with applicable laws and Experian policies. FAC's investigation will
include at a minimum all of the actions listed on the "End User Investigation
Requirements" form, a copy of which is attached hereto, before giving a customer
access to the Services. FAC agrees to provide to Experian at Experian's request
all materials and information relating to its investigations of its customers.
4.3.2 FAC acknowledges and agrees that Experian may itself, or may
require that FAC, block display of account numbers or other information to FAC
and FAC's customers, and FAC agrees to not provide such information to its
customers.
-3-
4.3.3 Experian may from time to time notify FAC of additional, updated
or new requirements compliance with which will be a condition of Experian's
continued provision of Services to FAC. FAC agrees to comply with such
requirements as to which it has received notice from Experian and such shall be
incorporated into this Agreement by this reference.
4.3.4 FAC understands and agrees that Experian may require evidence,
including a certification, that FAC understands and will comply with applicable
laws and Experian policies and procedures.
4.3.5 FAC agrees to obtain at its expense such training and education
concerning applicable legal requirements and Experian policies and procedures as
Experian may reasonably request. Training made available to FAC by Experian is
provided as a service to FAC, and does not replace or waive FAC's compliance
obligations under the law or this Agreement. Such training does not constitute,
or substitute for, legal advice, and FAC should consult with its own legal
counsel.
4.3.6 FAC will institute and maintain strict procedures for assuring
that its employees do not furnish the Services (or information therein) except
in compliance with the requirements of the FCRA and this Agreement. FAC will
provide training and training materials to its customers to the extent necessary
to assure compliance with the FCRA and this Agreement. FAC will provide
Experian the opportunity to review and approve or disapprove all such materials
prior to their use. FAC will enter into written agreements executed by each of
FAC's customers requiring compliance by such customers with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. FAC will monitor its customers on an ongoing
basis to assure the continued compliance with the requirements of this Agreement
by the customer and by FAC and will immediately discontinue the Services to any
customer who is not in compliance.
4.3.7 FAC will not mislead consumers or the public, or demean directly
or indirectly Experian Inc., its successors or assigns, the Services, other
services provided by Experian, the consumer reporting industry, direct marketing
industry or other industries in which Experian, its successors and assigns do
business. FAC will provide Experian the opportunity to review and approve or
disapprove prior to their use or dissemination any and all advertising,
marketing, sales and promotional materials, pamphlets, brochures and similar
disclosures that relate directly or indirectly to Experian Inc., its successors
or assigns, the Services, other services provided by Experian, the consumer
reporting industry, direct marketing industry or other industries in which
Experian, its successors and assigns do business, or that mention Experian by
name.
Article 5
Intellectual Property
5.1 No License. Experian does not transfer, and FAC does not obtain, any
patent rights, copyright interest or other right, claim or interest in the
computer programs, systems, forms, formats, schedules, manuals or other
proprietary items utilized or provided by Experian.
5.2 Restrictions on Use of Proprietary Designations. Neither party will use,
or permit their respective employees, agents and subcontractors to use, the
trademarks, service marks, logos, names, or any other proprietary designations
of the other party, or the other party's affiliates, whether registered or
unregistered, without such other party's prior written consent.
5.3 Ownership of Data. FAC acknowledges that Experian has expended substantial
time, effort, and funds to collect, arrange and compile Experian's consumer
information database and to create and deliver the Services (including the
information therein). The Services, the information contained therein, and the
data in Experian's consumer information databases are and will continue to be
the exclusive property of
-4-
Experian. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to convey to FAC,
or to any other party, any right, title, or interest, including any patent,
copyright, or other proprietary right, in or to the data in Experian's consumer
information database(s), any database(s) itself or (except to the extent of the
limited license granted in Section 2.1 of this Agreement) to the Services and
the information therein.
5.4 Confidential Treatment. FAC hereby acknowledges that the Services it
receives from Experian under this Agreement include personal information about
individual Consumers and, as such, require confidential treatment. In addition,
FAC acknowledges that it may receive other proprietary and confidential
information of Experian including but not limited to technical, developmental,
operating, computer system, software, performance, cost, know-how and process
information. FAC warrants to Experian that (a) except as otherwise permitted by
this Agreement, it will maintain the information obtained through Experian in
strict confidence and will not disclose such information other than to its
employees who have a need to know and (b) will use the information only for
purposes of this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement or at the
request of Experian, FAC will promptly return to Experian all Experian
confidential information and any copies thereof provided to it. FAC warrants
that it will require by written contract that customers receiving such
information from FAC comply with the same obligations of nondisclosure.
Article 6
Indemnification and Limitations
6.1 Disclaimer of Warranty. Because the Services involve conveying information
provided to Experian by other sources, Experian cannot and will not, for the fee
charged for the Services, be an insurer or guarantor of the accuracy or
reliability of the Services, data contained in its database, or in the Services.
EXPERIAN DOES NOT GUARANTEE OR WARRANT THE ACCURACY, TIMELINESS, COMPLETENESS,
CURRENTNESS, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF THE
SERVICES, INFORMATION IN THE SERVICES OR THE MEDIA ON OR THROUGH WHICH THE
SERVICES ARE PROVIDED AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO RESELLER OR TO ANY OF THE
RESELLER'S CUSTOMERS FOR ANY LOSS OR INJURY ARISING OUT OF OR CAUSED IN WHOLE OR
IN PART BY EXPERIAN'S ACTS OR OMISSIONS, WHETHER NEGLIGENT OR OTHERWISE, IN
PROCURING, COMPILING, COLLECTING, INTERPRETING, REPORTING, COMMUNICATING OR
DELIVERING THE SERVICES OR INFORMATION THEREIN.
6.2 Indemnification. FAC will indemnify, defend, and hold Experian harmless
from and against any and all liabilities, damages, losses, claims, costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees, which may be asserted against or
incurred by Experian, arising out of or resulting from the use, disclosure, sale
or transfer of the Services (or information therein) by FAC or its customers, or
FAC's breach of this Agreement. FAC covenants not to sue or maintain any cause
of action, claim, demand, cross-claim, third party action or other form of
litigation or arbitration against Experian, its officer's directors, employees,
contractors, agents, affiliated bureaus or subscribers arising out of or
relating in any way to the Services (or information therein) being blocked by
Experian or not being accurate, timely, complete or current.
6.3 Limitation of Liability. FAC acknowledges that Experian maintains a
database, updated on a periodic basis, from which FAC obtains and resells
Services, and that Experian does not undertake a separate investigation for each
inquiry or request for Services made by FAC. FAC also acknowledges that the
prices Experian charges FAC for the Services are based upon Experian's
expectation that the risk of any loss or injury that may be incurred by use of
the Services will be borne by FAC and not Experian. FAC therefore agrees that
it is responsible for determining that the Services are in accordance with
Experian's obligations under this Agreement. If FAC reasonably determines that
the Services do not meet Experian's obligations under this Agreement, FAC shall
so notify Experian in writing within ten (10) days after receipt of the Services
in question. FAC's failure to so notify Experian shall mean that FAC accepts
the Services as is, and Experian will have no liability whatsoever for the
Services. If FAC so notifies Experian within ten (10) days after receipt of the
Services, then, unless Experian disputes FAC's claim, Experian will, at its
option, either reperform the Services in question or issue FAC a credit for the
amount
-5-
FAC paid to Experian for the nonconforming Services. This reperformance or
credit constitutes FAC's sole remedy and Experian's maximum liability for any
breach of this Agreement by Experian. If, notwithstanding the above, liability
is imposed on Experian, then FAC agrees that Experian's total liability for any
or all of FAC's losses or injuries from Experian's acts or omissions under this
Agreement, regardless of the nature of the legal or equitable right claimed to
have been violated, shall be the lesser of the amount paid by FAC to Experian
under this Agreement during the six month period preceding the alleged breach by
Experian of this Agreement or Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000). FAC covenants that
it will not sue Experian for any amount greater than permitted by this Agreement
and will not seek punitive damages. IN NO EVENT SHALL EXPERIAN BE LIABLE TO
RESELLER OR TO ANY CUSTOMER OR THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES TO
BUSINESS REPUTATION, LOST BUSINESS OR LOST PROFITS), WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR NOT
AND HOWEVER CAUSED, EVEN IF EXPERIAN IS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES.
Article 7
Amendments and Termination
7.1 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument
signed by both parties.
7.2 Termination. Notwithstanding any other term in this Agreement, (a) either
party may terminate this Agreement by providing ninety (90) days advance written
notice to the other; and (b) Experian may unilaterally terminate this Agreement
immediately, or take any lesser action Experian believes is appropriate,
including but not limited to blocking FAC's access to the Services and/or
charging FAC a fee for auditing FAC to ensure compliance, if Experian believes
in its sole judgment, that FAC has failed to comply with any of its obligations
hereunder, including any obligation under Article 4 of this Agreement.
7.3 Effect of Termination. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement,
the license granted herein will automatically terminate, FAC will cease
reselling the Services (and the information therein) and return any Services in
its possession to Experian. No termination or expiration will relieve either
party of any liability for monetary sums owing to the other. The provisions of
Articles 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 and Sections 7.3 shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Agreement.
Article 8
Miscellaneous
8.1 Status. The parties will perform their obligations hereunder as
independent contractors. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to
create any association, partnership, joint venture, or relationship of principal
and agent or master and servant between the parties. The parties acknowledge
that any and all rights not expressly granted pursuant to this Agreement are
reserved to the respective party and that neither party will have any right,
power or authority to obligate the other to any contract, term or condition.
8.2 Excusable Delays. Neither party will be liable to the other for any delay
or failure in its performance of any of the acts required by this Agreement
(other than for payment obligations hereunder) if and to the extent that such
delay or failure arises beyond the reasonable control of such party, including,
without limitation, acts of God or public enemies, labor disputes, equipment
malfunctions, computer downtime, material or component shortages, supplier
failures, embargoes, earthquakes, rationing, acts of local, state or national
governments or public agencies, utility or communication failures or delays,
fire, flood, epidemics, riots and strikes.
-6-
8.3 Governing Law, Venue and Attorney's Fees. This Agreement will be governed
by and construed in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State
of California, which are intended to supersede any choice of laws rules which
might require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Both parties
hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of California, whether federal,
state or local, with respect to actions brought to enforce or interpret this
Agreement. Venue for all actions shall be in Orange County, California. The
prevailing party in any arbitration, or permitted legal or equitable action,
shall be entitled to an award of its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.
8.4 Severability. This Agreement shall be deemed to be severable and, if any
provision of this Agreement shall be finally determined to be void, illegal or
unenforceable, then it is the parties' desire and intention that such provision
be deemed automatically adjusted to the minimum extent necessary to conform to
applicable requirements of validity, legality and enforceability and, as so
adjusted, be deemed a provision of this Agreement as if it were originally
included herein; provided, however, if such provision cannot be adjusted without
substantially and materially altering the rights and duties hereunder and
fundamentally depriving one party of the benefit of the bargain (taken as a
whole) contemplated by this Agreement, then the parties will seek to reform this
Agreement through the procedure outlined in Section 8.7 (Dispute Resolution)
hereof so as to restore, as nearly as possible, the parties' respective rights,
duties, and bargain. In any case, the remaining provisions of this Agreement
shall remain in effect.
8.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and to their respective heirs,
representatives, successors, and permitted assignees. This Agreement may not be
assigned, transferred, shared or divided in whole, or in part, by FAC without
Experian's prior written consent. The dissolution, merger, consolidation,
reorganization, sale or other transfer of assets, properties, or controlling
interest of FAC constitutes an assignment of this Agreement for purposes of this
Section 8.5.
8.6 Audit Rights. Experian will have the right to audit FAC and FAC's
customers to assure compliance with the terms of this Agreement. FAC will
provide full cooperation, and will be responsible for assuring full cooperation
by its employees and customers, in connection with such audits. FAC will
provide Experian or obtain for Experian access to such properties, records and
personnel as Experian may reasonably require for such purpose.
8.7 Dispute Resolution. With the exception of any action taken under Articles
4 and 5 of this Agreement, the parties will resolve any dispute arising out of
or relating to this Agreement in a binding arbitration conducted under the
auspices of the American Arbitration Association in Orange County, California.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, FAC agrees that its failure to comply with the
provisions of Articles 4 and 5 will cause irreparable harm to Experian that
cannot be adequately compensated in damages and that Experian may seek equitable
relief and pursue other remedies to prevent such noncompliance.
8.8 Waiver. Either party may at any time waive compliance by the other with
any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement, but only by written
instrument signed by the party waiving such compliance. No waiver of any
provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to be, or shall constitute, a waiver
of any other provision hereof, nor shall such waiver constitute a waiver in any
other instance.
8.9 Retention of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall
limit or restrict Experian's ability to market and sell its services, the
geographic areas in which or the customers to whom Experian may market or sell
its services.
8.10 Publicity. Except as specifically permitted by Experian in writing, under
no circumstances will FAC disclose to any third party, directly or indirectly,
the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
-7-
8.11 No Third Parties. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied,
is intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto and their
respective heirs, representatives, successors and permitted assigns, any rights
or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement, nor is anything in this
Agreement intended to relieve or discharge the liability of any party hereto.
8.12 Notice. All notices required or permitted to be provided to a party under
this Agreement must be in writing and sent to the address for the party set
forth on the last page of this Agreement, unless such address has been changed
by prior written notice to the other party to the Agreement.
8.13 Subject Headings. The subject headings or captions of the articles and
sections of this Agreement are included solely for purposes of convenience and
reference and will not be deemed to explain, modify, limit, amplify or aid in
the meaning, construction or interpretation of any of the provisions of this
Agreement.
8.14 Contract in Entirety. This Agreement (including the exhibits, amendments
and addenda hereto which are incorporated herein by this reference) sets forth
the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous letters of intent,
agreements, covenants, negotiations, arrangements, communications,
representations, understandings or warranties, whether oral or written, by any
officer, employee, or representative of either party relating thereto. There
