TEN (10) DAYS PRIOR NOTICE BY POSTING A NOTICE ON THE CONSUMER

Content of Agreement:
1. Use of Profile Information.
You agree to use the information found in the Business Directory, Watch List, and individual IdentiCentral
Profiles solely for the use of researching a businesses reputation
and credibility, or contacting the business concerning your

transaction with the company. Profile information (i.e. email
addresses, telephone numbers, or mailing addresses) are NOT
to be collected for third-party use. Evidence of collection
could result in I.P. Blocking.
2. Disclaimer of Guarantees.
IdentiCentral advertises that transactions with IdentiCentral Verified Participants are guaranteed against fraud, to the extent that
IdentiCentral performs an extensive identity verification check of
all applicants, and such applicants are known to be legitimate
businesses at the time of registration. The penalty for proven
fraudulant activity of a IdentiCentral Member is the termination
of membership and indefinite placement on the Watch List. HOWEVER, IdentiCentral DOES
NOT AND CANNOT COMPENSATE ANY CONSUMER FOR A MONETARY OF PHYSICAL
LOSS IN A TRANSACTION WITH ANY IdentiCentral Verified Participant AT

businesses to the general public; and to warn consumers of
specific businesses practicing fraudulant activity.

ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL
IdentiCentral'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE)
OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED $100. THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS
SECTION SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ANY ESSENTIAL
PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.
