15. Fair Credit Reporting Act Overview (http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/2user.htm

PLEASE REVIEW

This document is intended as a general overview of the requirements of the FCRA. Although the FCRA applies to many different situations, this document is limited to requirements of the FCRA with respect to employment. The FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681-1681u, regulates both “consumer reports” and “investigative consumer reports” in the employment context. Recent amendments to this law took effect on September 30, 1997; these amendments create new obligations for employers and prospective employers who obtain and use these types of reports. While it is legal to utilize these types of reports in the employment context, it is important that employers comply with all relevant provisions of the Act, as well as any applicable state laws. User has reviewed and will maintain compliance within the parameters set forth by the FCRA. Please review this link http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/2user.htm

In cases where User (or its agent or employer) re-sells or utilizes internally any of the information User obtained from RiskProducts.com or RiskProducts.com databases, User agrees and acknowledges and understands that RiskProducts.com reserves the right to conduct an audit of User’s searches to determine that you are meeting the conditions of the FCRA as described in paragraph 15. RiskProducts.com reserves the right to ask in its audit to require User to furnish the following information.

(a) the identity of the end-user of the report (or information); and
