7. Some of the information reported by The Site or obtainable from The Site's databases, including all criminal records, consttutes personal information that is regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The provisions of the FCRA can be found at http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fcrajan2002.pdf. The Site arguably fits the definition of a "consumer reporting agency" (CRA) and is required to comply with certain provisions of the FCRA, including:

a. Section 607(d), which requires that we provide clients with a prescribed notice of their duties as users of consumer reports under the FCRA. Those duties are set forth at http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/2user.htm and are hereby being provided to you;

b. Section 609, which imposes the requirement that CRAs disclose all the information in their files on a consumer upon request; and

c. Section 604, which limits the purposes for which information may be provided. Since we do not know the reasons why our customers want access to the data provided in our databases, we rely upon certifications provided by our customers that the information is sought to be used for (or to be provided for) employment purposes; tenant screening purposes; purposes related to a business transaction initiated by the consumer; other permissible purposes as defined by the FCRA ((a) of Section 604 outlines all of the permissible purposes in detail); OR that customers seek to use the reports from our criminal records for personal reasons that are in no way related to any business purpose.

8. I agree not to use the data obtained from The Site or The Site's databases for any unlawful purposes, including violations of state and federal employment laws or regulations, including specifically, all applicable provisions of the FCRA. I warrant that I will exercise reasonable precautions to ensure that, in cases where I re-sell criminal records from the site's databases, all users of said criminal records also shall abide by the provisions of the FCRA and all state and federal laws and regulations as pertains to the disclosure and use of criminal records delivered to them from the databases. I hereby certify that the information I obtain from the site or the site's databases will be used by me (and by any party to whom I furnish information obtained from this site) for "permissible purposes" as defined in the FCRA. In cases where I do not furnish the information or reports I obtain from this site to any other entity, then I will indicate that my use is for personal reasons only.

9. In relation to Motor Vehicle Records, Credit Reports, and any information used for Employment Screening Purposes:

a. Customer certifies to be in compliance with all applicable federal and state statutes and regulations including, but not limited to, the FCRA and its state analogues, the Driver's Privacy Protection Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2721 et seq., ("DPPA") and its state analogues, and statutes and regulations governing fair information practices.

b. Customer certifies that, upon request of Northwest Loss Prevention Consultants, it shall execute any and all certification forms required by states or entities from which the Customer receives any information obtained from Northwest Loss Prevention Consultants

c. Customer shall be prohibited from selling, disseminating, or otherwise distributing any information obtained from Northwest Loss Prevention Consultants, in whole or in part, to any third party. Customer shall order, receive, and use any information obtained from Northwest Loss Prevention Consultants solely as an end user.

d. If Customer uses any information obtained from Northwest Loss Prevention Consultants to take adverse action against a consumer, Customer will notify, in writing, the adversely affected individual, specifying that the information obtained from Northwest Loss Prevention Consultants influenced the employment decision.  Further, Customer must provide the adversely affected individual with the Northwest Loss Prevention Consultants address and toll-free national telephone number such that Northwest Loss Prevention Consultants can make full disclosure of any information reported or held by Northwest Loss Prevention Consultants on said consumer.

10. In relation to Criminal Records Searches:

a. Our Best Practices Criminal Search consists of the Social Security Address Trace Report, The NationCheck, and County and Federal Courts wherever the applicant has lived in the last 10 years. This is our recommended search to obtain the most complete picture of your applicant history in a reasonable and practical manner.

b. Northwest Loss Prevention Consultants strongly cautions any company using a database search as its sole screening method. This search is the primary Product large data compiler/”screening” companies are selling. Incomplete records or records that are not in the database represent a significant risk to your company. Theses searches are excellent for filling in the gaps but not as a standalone search. For the most complete search we recommend the NationCheck combined with our Hands-On CountyCheck.

c. Statewide Repositories are an excellent tool to use in addition to county level searches. Most are available as part of our NationCheck and others are accessible only as a non-instant search. The strength of this search is that it allows you to get a thumbnail sketch of the entire state. The weakness of this search is that No Repository has a Database that is 100% Accurate. Therefore, we only recommend performing a Statewide Repository Search to Complement County Court Searches.

d. County Courts: All Criminal Justice Starts At The County Level - A County Search, although limited in it's geographic scope, may be the only way to obtain the most accurate and up to date information. The county criminal search is the basic building block of any background check program.

e. Federal Courts: Federal criminal records show criminal complaints brought by the U.S. government against defendants for violations of federal criminal law. The Federal court system is totally separate from the State and County court systems. If your are interested in a complete and thorough background check, federal searches are a must.

11. These terms and conditions are governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Texas, without regard to conflicts of law provisions. You hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of and venue of the courts in Denton County, Texas for all legal actions related to The Site, The Site's databases, or this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between Northwest Loss Prevention Consultants, and you, and it supercedes all prior or contemporaneous communications, promises and proposals, whether oral, written or electronic.
