21. Copyright Notice for all Content

Copyright © 2019 Co-Life LLC and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.Unauthorized copying, distribution, modification, public display, or public performance of copyrighted works may be an infringement of the rights of the copyright owner. You agree that you will not use the Site or any Content to infringe CoLife's intellectual property rights or the intellectual property rights of others. You may not remove, deface, or overprint any notice of copyright, trademark, logo, or other notice of ownership from any originals or copies of CoLife Software, third party software, or any products or Content.

22. Trademark Usage

You may generally use CoLife trademarks to refer to the associated CoLife products or services. For instance, a CoLife Affiliate may issue a press release stating that it is offering services (e.g., flower delivery) through the CoLife™ dating application.CoLife Affiliates may indicate the relationship of their products or services to CoLife products or services by using accurate, descriptive tag lines in connection with your product or service name. Within text or body copy, such tag lines may appear in the same type as your product or service name. On product, packaging, advertising and other collateral where your product or service name is displayed apart from body copy, make sure that the tag line appears in significantly smaller type than your name. You should also distinguish the tag line from your mark by using a different font or color. You may not use CoLife trademarks in a manner that could cause confusion as to CoLife sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement. Proper use of CoLife trademarks reinforces their role as brands for our products and services, and helps prevent them from becoming generic names that can be used by anyone. Examples of former trademarks that became generic terms are "aspirin," "cellophane," and "escalator." By adhering to the following rules, you help protect CoLife's investment in its trademarks.Use a generic term in association with each CoLife trademark the first time the mark appears in text, and as often as possible after that. You need not include generic names in headlines, package titles and documentation titles. Except when referring to CoLife as a trade name (see below), CoLife trademarks are adjectives and should not be used as nouns, or in the possessive or plural form. Do not vary CoLife trademarks by changing their spelling or abbreviating them. Proper trademark attribution helps makes the public aware of our trademarks, and helps prevent them from becoming generic terms. Accordingly, CoLife would appreciate you attributing ownership of CoLife trademarks to CoLife and using trademark symbols (™ or SM or ®).Trade names are the actual business names of companies. Trademarks and trade names are not the same, even though many companies use their trade names as trademarks. If you are using “CoLife” as a substitute for Co-Life LLC. you are using it as a trade name. Because they are nouns, trade names can be used in the possessive and do not require a generic term or a trademark symbol. Thus, you should not use a trademark symbol after "CoLife" when it appears as part of the full corporate name or as a trade name.You agree to not engage in any activities or commit any acts, directly or indirectly, that may contest, dispute, or otherwise impair CoLife’s right, title, and interest therein, nor shall you cause diminishment of value of the trademarks through any act or representation. You will not apply for, acquire, or claim any right, title, or interest in or to any trademarks that is confusingly similar to any CoLife trademark, through advertising or otherwise. All goodwill resulting from any use of CoLife’s intellectual property will inure solely to the benefit of CoLife. You shall not at any time do, fail to do, or permit any act to be done which may in any way impair the rights of CoLife in any of its intellectual property.

23. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement (including in connection with an acquisition, change in control, or to an affiliated party) either in whole or in part without the prior written consent of CoLife. Any attempted assignment or delegation without such consent will be void. CoLife shall have the unencumbered right to assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any third party. Subject to the foregoing, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall bind and inure to the parties’ successors and assigns.

24. CoLife Affiliate

If you signed a separate agreement (“Affiliate Agreement”), other than either the Privacy Policy or Subscription Terms, that incorporates these Terms of Use, then you are an “Affiliate.” Nothing in the Affiliate Agreement, Terms of Use or any other part of this Agreement shall be construed as creating a joint venture, partnership, agency, employer/employee, or similar relationship between you and CoLife, or as authorizing either you or CoLife to act as the agent of the other. The Affiliate’s relationship to CoLife is that of an independent contractor. The Affiliate shall have no authority to bind CoLife to any contractual terms. Affiliate represents and warrants in favor of CoLife that: (a) it has the full corporate right and authority to perform the acts and obligations required of it under this Agreement, including execute and deliver the Subscription Terms, if applicable; (b) its performance under this Agreement shall not violate any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound; (c) this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such party, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms; and (d) if it knows or should know of any claims it has against CoLife, its officers, directors, employees or agents, it has disclosed those claims in writing prior to executing the Affiliate Agreement or it waives such claims.

25. Confidential Information

Unless you are a CoLife Affiliate, CoLife does not want to receive Confidential Information (see below) from you and CoLife’s Privacy Policy governs how CoLife handles all materials you Share with CoLife. Notwithstanding anything that you may note or state in connection with Sharing material, it shall not be considered Confidential Information for purposes of Section 25, and any information that is not covered by the Privacy Policy shall be received and treated by CoLife on a non-confidential and unrestricted basis and CoLife shall not take and shall not be required to take any steps to safeguard the confidentiality of any such information.If you are a CoLife Affiliate, either you or CoLife (each a “Discloser”) may disclose to the other party (each a “Recipient”) information pertaining to either CoLife or the Subscribed Content (“Purpose”) that the Discloser considers confidential (“Confidential Information”). Recipient may use Confidential Information only for the Purpose. Recipient must use a reasonable degree of care to protect Confidential Information and to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information. Recipient may share Confidential Information with its employees, directors, agents or third party contractors who need to know it and if they have agreed with either party in writing to keep information confidential. Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) was known to Recipient without restriction before receipt from Discloser; (b) is publicly available through no fault of Recipient; (c) is rightfully received by Recipient from a third party without a duty of confidentiality; (d) is independently developed by Recipient; or (e) relates to any information covered by CoLife’s Privacy Policy. A party may disclose Confidential Information when compelled to do so by law if it provides reasonable prior notice to the other party, unless a court orders that the other party not be given notice. This Section will continue for 4 years after the termination of the Affiliate Agreement.CoLife may identify CoLife Affiliates in its marketing efforts. The breach of this Section will cause irreparable harm to the other party and monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for an unauthorized disclosure of the Confidential Information. If the breaching party discloses the Confidential Information in violation of this agreement, the other party may, without waiving any other rights or remedies and without posting a bond or other security, seek an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable remedy to prevent competition or further disclosure, and may pursue other legal remedies.

If applicable, You agree that, CoLife has earned its full fee upon consummation of a rental arrangement between a host and a guest, and CoLife disclaims all responsibility if either a host or guest subsequently breaches the rental arrangement and such breach will not release You from fee obligations to CoLife.You agree that CoLife may, in its sole discretion, at any time, terminate or limit your access to, or use of, the Site or any Content.

28. Notice To Users Of Consumer Reports: Obligations Of Users Under The FCRA

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), 15 U.S.C. §1681-1681y, requires that this notice be provided to inform users of consumer reports of their legal obligations. State law may impose additional requirements. The text of the FCRA is set forth in full at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) website at www.consumerfinance.gov/learnmore. At the end of this document is a list of United States Code citations for the FCRA. Other information about user duties is also available at the Bureau’s website. Users must consult the relevant provisions of the FCRA for details about their obligations under the FCRA.The first section of this summary sets forth the responsibilities imposed by the FCRA on all users of consumer reports. The subsequent sections discuss the duties of users of reports that contain specific types of information, or that are used for certain purposes, and the legal consequences of violations. If you are a furnisher of information to a consumer reporting agency (CRA), you have additional obligations and will receive a separate notice from the CRA describing your duties as a furnisher.

I. Obligations of All Users of Consumer Reports

A. Users Must Have a Permissible Purpose

Congress has limited the use of consumer reports to protect consumers’ privacy. All users must have a permissible purpose under the FCRA to obtain a consumer report. Section 604 contains a list of the permissible purposes under the law. These are:• As ordered by a court or federal grand jury subpoena. Section 604(a)(1)• As instructed by the consumer in writing. Section 604(a)(2)• For the extension of credit as a result of an application from a consumer, or the review or collection of a consumer’s account. Section 604(a)(3)(A)• For employment purposes, including hiring and promotion decisions, where the consumer has given written permission. Section 604(a)(3)(B) and 604(b)• For the underwriting of insurance as a result of an application from a consumer. Section 604(a)(3)(C)• When there is a legitimate business need, in connection with a business transaction that is initiated by the consumer. Section 604(a)(3)(F)(i)• To review a consumer’s account to determine whether the consumer continues to meet the terms of the account. Section 604(a)(3)(F)(ii)• To determine a consumer’s eligibility for a license or other benefit granted by a governmental instrumentality required by law to consider an applicant’s financial responsibility or status. Section 604(a)(3)(D)• For use by a potential investor or servicer, or current insurer, in a valuation or assessment of the credit or prepayment risks associated with an existing credit obligation. Section 604(a)(3)(E)• For use by state or local officials in connection with the determination of child support payments, or modifications and enforcement thereof. Sections 604(a)(4) and 604(a)(5).In addition, creditors and insurers may obtain certain consumer report information for the purpose of making "prescreened" unsolicited offers of credit or insurance. Section 604(c). The particular obligations of users of "prescreened" information are described in Section VII below.

B. Users Must Provide Certifications

Section 604(f) prohibits any person from obtaining a consumer report from a consumer reporting agency (CRA) unless the person has certified to the CRA the permissible purpose(s) for which the report is being obtained and certifies that the report will not be used for any other purpose.

C. Users Must Notify Consumers When Adverse Actions Are Taken

The term “adverse action” is defined very broadly by Section 603. “Adverse actions” include all business, credit, and employment actions affecting consumers that can be considered to have a negative impact as defined by Section 603(k) of the FCRA – such as denying or canceling credit or insurance, or denying employment or promotion. No adverse action occurs in a credit transaction where the creditor makes a counteroffer that is accepted by the consumer.

1. Adverse Actions Based on Information Obtained From a CRA
If a user takes any type of adverse action as defined by the FCRA that is based at least in part on information contained in a consumer report, Section 615(a) requires the user to notify the consumer. The notification may be done in writing, orally, or by electronic means. It must include the following:• The name, address, and telephone number of the CRA (including a toll-free telephone number, if it is a nationwide CRA) that provided the report.• A statement that the CRA did not make the adverse decision and is not able to explain why the decision was made.• A statement setting forth the consumer’s right to obtain a free disclosure of the consumer’s file from the CRA if the consumer makes a request within 60 days.• A statement setting forth the consumer’s right to dispute directly with the CRA the accuracy or completeness of any information provided by the CRA.

2. Adverse Actions Based on Information Obtained from Third Parties Who Are Not Consumer Reporting Agencies
If a person denies (or increases the charge for) credit for personal, family, or household purposes based either wholly or partly upon information from a person other than a CRA, and the information is the type of consumer information covered by the FCRA, Section 615(b)(1) requires that the user clearly and accurately disclose to the consumer his or her right to be told the nature of the information that was relied upon if the consumer makes a written request within 60 days of notification.

Authorization to access reports during the term of employment may be obtained at the time of employment.• Certify to the CRA that the above steps have been followed, that the information being obtained will not be used in violation of any federal or state equal opportunity law or regulation, and that, if any adverse action is to be taken based on the consumer report, a copy of the report and a summary of the consumer’s rights will be provided to the consumer.• Before taking an adverse action, the user must provide a copy of the report to the consumer as well as the summary of the consumer’s rights. (The user should receive this summary from the CRA). A Section 615(a) adverse action notice should be sent after the adverse action is taken.An adverse action notice also is required in employment situations if credit information (other than transactions and experience data) obtained from an affiliate is used to deny employment. Section 615(b)(2).The procedures for investigative consumer reports and employee misconduct investigations are set forth below.

In this case, the consumer may provide consent orally or electronically, and an adverse action may be made orally, in writing, or electronically. The consumer may obtain a copy of any report relied upon by the trucking company by contacting the company.

IV. Obligations When Investigative Consumer Reports Are Used
Investigative consumer reports are a special type of consumer report in which information about a consumer’s character, general reputation, personal characteristics, and mode of living is obtained through personal interviews by an entity or person that is a consumer reporting agency. Consumers who are the subject of such reports are given special rights under the FCRA. If a user intends to obtain an investigative consumer report, Section 606 requires the following:• The user must disclose to the consumer that an investigative consumer report may be obtained. This must be done in a written disclosure that is mailed, or otherwise delivered, to the consumer at some time before or not later than three days after the date on which the report was first requested. The disclosure must include a statement informing the consumer of his or her right to request additional disclosures of the nature and scope of the investigation as described below, and the summary of consumer rights required by Section 609 of the FCRA. (The summary of consumer rights will be provided by the CRA that conducts the investigation.)• The user must certify to the CRA that the disclosures set forth above have been made and that the user will make the disclosure below.• Upon written request of a consumer made within a reasonable period of time after the disclosures required above, the user must make a complete disclosure of the nature and scope of the investigation. This must be made in a written statement that is mailed, or otherwise delivered, to the consumer no later than five days after the date on which the request was received from the consumer or the report was first requested, whichever is later in time.

V. Special Procedures for Employee Investigations
Section 603(x) provides special procedures for investigations of suspected misconduct by an employee or for compliance with Federal, state or local laws and regulations or the rules of a self-regulatory organization, and compliance with written policies of the employer. These investigations are not treated as consumer reports so long as the employer or its agent complies with the procedures set forth in Section 603(x), and a summary describing the nature and scope of the inquiry is made to the employee if an adverse action is taken based on the investigation.

VI. Obligations Of Users Of Medical Information
Section 604(g) limits the use of medical information obtained from consumer reporting agencies (other than payment information that appears in a coded form that does not identify the medical provider). If the information is to be used for an insurance transaction, the consumer must give consent to the user of the report or the information must be coded. If the report is to be used for employment purposes - or in connection with a credit transaction (except as provided in federal regulations) - the consumer must provide specific written consent and the medical information must be relevant. Any user who receives medical information shall not disclose the information to any other person (except where necessary to carry out the purpose for which the information was disclosed, or as permitted by statute, regulation, or order).

VII. Obligations Of Users Of “Prescreened” Lists
The FCRA permits creditors and insurers to obtain limited consumer report information for use in connection with unsolicited offers of credit or insurance under certain circumstances. Section 603(l), 604(c), 604(e), and 615(d). This practice is known as “prescreening” and typically involves obtaining from a CRA a list of consumers who meet certain pre-established criteria. If any person intends to use prescreened lists, that person must (1) before the offer is made, establish the criteria that will be relied upon to make the offer and to grant credit or insurance, and (2) maintain such criteria on file for a three-year period beginning on the date on which the offer is made to each consumer. In addition, any user must provide with each written solicitation a clear and conspicuous statement that:• Information contained in a consumer’s CRA file was used in connection with the transaction.• The consumer received the offer because he or she satisfied the criteria for credit worthiness or insurability used to screen for the offer.• Credit or insurance may not be extended if, after the consumer responds, it is determined that the consumer does not meet the criteria used for screening or any applicable criteria bearing on credit worthiness or insurability, or the consumer does not furnish required collateral.• The consumer may prohibit the use of information in his or her file in connection with future prescreened offers of credit or insurance by contacting the notification system established by the CRA that provided the report. This statement must include the address and the toll-free telephone number of the appropriate notification system.In addition, once the CFPB has established the format, type size, and manner of the disclosure required by Section 615(d), with which users must comply. The relevant regulation is 12 CFR 1022.54.

Section 607(e) requires any person who obtains a consumer report for resale to take the following steps:
• Disclose the identity of the end-user to the source CRA.• Identify to the source CRA each permissible purpose for which the report will be furnished to the end-user.• Establish and follow reasonable procedures to ensure that reports are resold only for permissible purposes, including procedures to obtain:1) the identity of all end-users;2) certifications from all users of each purposes for which reports will be used; and3) certifications that reports will not be used for any purpose other than the purpose(s) specified to the reseller. Resellers must make reasonable efforts to verify this information before selling the report.

B. Reinvestigations by Resellers
Under Section 611(f), if a consumer disputes the accuracy or completeness of information in a report prepared by a reseller, the reseller must determine whether this is a result of an action or omission on its part and, if so, correct or delete the information. If not, the reseller must send the dispute to the source CRA for reinvestigation. When any CRA notifies the reseller of the results of an investigation, the reseller must immediately convey the information to the consumer.

C. Fraud Alerts and Resellers
Section 605A(f) requires resellers who receive fraud alerts or active duty alerts from another consumer reporting agency to include these in their reports.
