Page 1
Term
Except as set forth herein, this Master
Agreement will become effective on the date the
Agreement is executed by the Parties as
reflected on the first page of this Agreement
("Effective Date") and will continue in full force
and effect until terminated by either Party
pursuant to the terms contained herein. The
term of each Service Addendum and/or Local
Country Agreement, if any, will commence on
the Effective Date set forth in each respective
Service Addendum and/or Local Country
Agreement and will terminate in accordance with
their respective terms. Each Service Addendum
and/or Local Country Agreement shall
automatically renew in accordance with the
terms and conditions contained in such Service
Addendum and Local Country Agreement, if
any. Except as otherwise set forth herein, if a
Service Addendum or Local Country Agreement
does not specify the terms upon which .
automatic renewal shall occur, then such
Service Addendum and/or Local Country
Agreement shall automatically renew upon the
occurrence of the expiration date, upon the
same terms and conditions, unless either Party
upon not less than 60 days advance written
notice to the other Party, indicates its intention
not to renew such Service Addendum and/or
Local Country Agreement. Notwithstanding the
termination of a Service Addendum and/or Local
Country Agreement, the terms and conditions of
this Master Agreement will remain in full force
and effect. In the event this Master Agreement
is terminated, then all the Service Addendums
and/or Local Country Agreement shall be
terminated as well.
2. Fees and Payment
Unless a Service Addendum or Local Country
Agreement otherwise specifies fee and payment
provisions (which shall supersede the following
terms only with respect to such Service
Addendum or Local Country Agreement) Client
shall make payment to Barada in accordance
with this Section. Subject to Client's satisfaction
with Barada's performance of the services
requested by Client hereunder, Client will pay
nonrefundable fees and other charges and costs
agreed upon for Barada services and/or the
consumer information provided to Client. The
price of services offered by Barada to Client may
be subject to change, and Barada agrees to
provide Client with no less than thirty (30) days
written notice prior to implementing any changes
in the offering prices of Barada's services.
Payment terms are net thirty (30) days from
invoice date. At Barada's option, payments not
received thirty (30) days after invoice date may
cause the account to be placed on temporary
suspension, with no additional request or
procurement order being processed until the
balance due is paid in full or other arrangements
have been made in writing with Barada's
Accounts Payable Department. All invoices are
deemed final and complete if no adjustments are
requested within thirty (30) days of invoice date.
The providing of Client credit card information
and electronic submission of it to Barada
represents a legal authorization to debit the card
for the orders placed and for non-payment per
the fifteen (15) day payment term. Any account
that remains inactive for a period of twelve
(12) months will be deemed inactive and may be
terminated and closed at Barada's sole
discretion. Barada shall provide Client ninety
(90) days' written notice prior to account
termination due to account inactivity.
3. Conflicts
In the event of a conflict between the provisions
of a Service Addendum or Local Country
Agreement, and this Master Agreement, the
provisions of the Service Addendum or Local
Country Agreement will control; provided,
however, that the provisions of the Addendum
and/or Local Country Agreement, will be so
construed to give effect to the applicable
provisions of the Master Agreement to the fullest
extent possible.

PERFORMANCE WITH RESPECT TO THE
ACCURACY, VALIDITY, OR COMPLETENESS
OF ANY SERVICE OR REPORT, INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO CONSUMER REPORTS
AND/OR INVESTIGATIVE CONSUMER
REPORTS (AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN
THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT).
FURTHERMORE, BARADA AND ITS
AFFILIATES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM THAT
THE SERVICES OR ANY REPORT PROVIDED
TO CLIENT OR ITS END -USERS BY BARADA
WILL MEET CLIENT'S OR ITS END -USERS'
NEEDS, OR THAT SERVICES OR ANY
REPORT WILL BE PROVIDED ON AN
UNINTERRUPTED BASIS, AND BARADA AND
ITS AFFILIATES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL
SUCH REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES. Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary,
Barada hereby represents and warrants that it
will render the services requested by Client and
obtain all necessary information and documents
diligently and in accordance with all Applicable
Laws (as defined herein).
5. Source of Certain Information
Client hereby acknowledges that Barada
assembles consumer information from a variety
of sources, including without limitation
databases maintained by consumer reporting
agencies containing information from public
records and other sources, governmental
databases and repositories, other information
databases and repositories, and internal and
third -party researchers. Such information
sources and resources are not maintained or
controlled by Barada. Barada can be neither an
insurer nor a guarantor that the information
provided from these sources is absolutely
accurate, current, error -free or comprehensive in
breadth or depth. Notwithstanding the foregoing
sentence, Barada agrees to exercise all due
diligence to ensure the accuracy of such
information and agrees to comply with all
Applicable Laws (as defined herein) in obtaining
and assembling such information for Client.
Barada has in place reasonable procedures
designed to respond promptly to claims of
incorrect or inaccurate information in
accordance with Applicable Laws (as defined
herein).
s. Use of Barada Websites
In addition to all other Client obligations, if Client
requests or makes any procurement order for
consumer information via any Barada website,
Client agrees to abide by any additional
conditions that may be imposed to utilize the
website, including without limitation: providing
any required certifications electronically;
providing any required or requested consumer
disclosure, authorization, resume, employment
or lease/rental application, or other related
consumer information electronically; and
maintaining strict security protocols, policies,
procedures and controls to assure that only
authorized users are able to access the Barada
system, and only for permissible, proper, legal
and authorized purposes. Use of a Barada
website also constitutes express agreement to
the websites terms and conditions contained
therein at the time of each use.
Background Check Information Forms
An important part of Client's (including Client's
end -users) screening program involves
compliance with various state and federal laws,
which is why Barada makes available certain
forms, both electronically and as paper forms,
regarding the requirements of the Federal Fair
Credit Reporting Act ("FCRA"). Such
documents were not created as, nor are they
intended to be used as, employment,
tenant/rental, or other application forms. Any
information, templates and/or forms made
available by Barada are not offered as legal
advice but are instead offered for informational
purposes only. Such information, templates
and/or forms are therefore not intended as a
substitute for the legal advice of a lawyer
knowledgeable regarding the user's individual
circumstances or to provide legal advice.
Barada makes no assurances regarding the
accuracy, completeness, or utility of such
information, templates and/or forms. Barada
makes no express or implied representations or
warranties regarding such information,
templates and/or forms, including any warranty
of merchantability or fitness for any particular
purpose. Legislative, regulatory and/or case law
developments regularly impact on general
research and the services provided by Barada to
Client, and this area is evolving rapidly and
frequently changes. Client and/or its end -users
(if applicable) are not required to utilize the
sample forms or templates provided by Barada.
Client (and its end -users if applicable) can
modify the forms and templates and the content
of such forms and templates, or use their own
Barada Master Service Agreement
Confidential and Copyright 2017 Barada Associates Inc.
Page 3
forms and templates in their entirety. The final
form and content of any forms or templates used
by Client and its end -users is Client's and its
end -users' sole responsibility and Barada shall
not be held responsible or liable for their form or
content or for any consequences arising out of
their use. While Barada provides Client with
such information, templates and/or forms, it is
Client's and its end -users' responsibility to
comply with all federal, state, and local statutes,
regulations, rules, ordinances and/or court
orders (collectively referred to as "Applicable
Laws") and to understand how the FCRA and
other Applicable Laws pertain to a specific
screening program. Client and its end -users
should consult their own legal counsel regarding
their legal obligations and the sufficiency of any
form they use.

Any ancillary services provided by Barada,
including, without limitation, providing or hosting
Client's compliance-related'forms, including
without limitation consumer disclosures,
authorizations, and adverse action notices; and
background check information forms, resumes,
and employment, tenant/rental or other
applications, is purely clerical in nature and will
be performed by Barada solely on behalf of and
for the benefit of the Client. Client retains sole
responsibility at all times for complying with all
Applicable Laws related to these items, whether
they are applied.or used by Client or its vendors.
All information collected and decisions made,
including hiring for employment, hiring for other
purposes, renting/leasing, contracting and site -

any hiring for employment, hiring for other
purposes, renting/leasing, contracting and site -

procedures to secure the confidentiality of
sensitive, personal and private information; and
(ii) take precautionary measures to protect the
security and dissemination of all consumer
information including, without limitation,
restricting terminal access, utilizing passwords
to restrict access to terminal devices, and
securing access to, dissemination and
destruction of electronic and hard copy reports.
Barada Master Service Agreement
As a condition of entering into this Agreement,
Client certifies that prior to ordering any
consumer information from Barada, Client will
have in place reasonable procedures designed
to comply with all Applicable Laws concerning
the retention, disclosure, and non -disclosure of
confidential information. Client agrees to retain
and disclose information pursuant to Applicable
Laws. The Parties acknowledge they must work
together to protect the privacy of consumers and
reduce unauthorized access to consumer
information. Client agrees to take reasonable
measures to limit access to the Barada system
and protect its account numbers and passwords
so that only key personnel employed by Client
know this sensitive information, including not
posting this information anywhere in the facility.
Client will change account passwords
immediately if a person who knows the
password leaves its company or no longer
needs to have access due to a change in duties.
Client will assign each user of its system access
software a unique logon password. Client will
not allow any of its users to share a logon
password and will notify Barada, in writing and
within a reasonable time, if any user ceases

being disposed of, or if any password has been
compromised or believed to be compromised in
any way, Client shall change its relevant
passwords immediately. Client shall not discuss
its account number or password by telephone
with any unknown caller, even if the caller claims
to be an employee or representative of Barada.

with any Applicable Laws in its request for or
use of Barada services and/or consumer

to others is required or permitted by law. Only
designated representatives of Client will request EVS
Employment Information on Client's employees, and
employees will be forbidden to obtain EVS
Employment Information on themselves, associates
or any other persons except in the exercise of their
official duties. Client will not disclose EVS
Employment Information to the subject of the EVS
Employment Information except as permitted or
required by law, but will refer the subject to EVS.
2. Client will hold EVS and all its agents harmless on
account of any expense or damage arising or
resulting from the publishing or other disclosure of
EVS Employment Information by Client, its employees
or agents contrary to the conditions of Section 1
above or applicable law.
3. Client recognizes that EVS does not guarantee the
accuracy or completeness of EVS Employment
Information and Client releases EVS and EVS's
agents, employees, affiliated credit reporting agencies
and independent contractors from any liability,
including negligence, in connection with the provision
of EVS Employment Information and from any loss or
expense suffered by Client resulting directly or
indirectly from EVS Employment Information. Client
covenants not to sue or maintain any claim, cause of
action, demand, cross- action, counterclaim, third -

EVS's agents, employees, affiliated credit reporting
agencies, or independent contractors arising out of or
relating in any way to the accuracy, validity, or
completeness of any EVS Employment Information.
4. Client will be charged for the EVS Employment

when Client intends to use the EVS Employment
Information: (a) in accordance with the FCRA and all
state law counterparts; and for the following
permissible purpose: for employment purposes;
provided, however, that Client certifies that, before
ordering EVS Employment Information to be used in
Barada Master Service Agreement
connection with employment purposes, it will clearly
and conspicuously disclose to the Consumer, in a
written document consisting solely of the disclosure,
that Client may obtain EVS Employment Information
for employment purposes, and will also obtain the
Consumer's written authorization to obtain or procure
EVS Employment Information relating to that
Consumer. Client further certifies that it will not take

whenever possible and will require Client to provide
documentation as to permissible use of particular
EVS Employment Information. In addition, Barada
will be required to provide documentation indicating
CRA validated the legitimacy of Client prior to contract
execution and will also provide a copy of agreement
between Barada and Client. Client gives its consent
to EVS to conduct such audits and agrees that any
failure to cooperate fully and promptly in the conduct
of any audit, or Client's material breach of this
Agreement, constitute grounds for immediate
suspension of the Service or termination of this
Agreement. If EVS terminates this Agreement due to
the conditions in the preceding sentence, Client
(i) unconditionally releases and agrees to hold EVS
harmless and indemnify it from and against any and
all liabilities of whatever kind or nature that may arise
from or relate to such termination, and (ii) covenants it
