Terms of Purchase


The Products (as defined below) available on this TrueCredit© sites (the “Site”) are provided by TransUnion Interactive, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“TUI”) and a corporate affiliate of TransUnion of Canada (“TransUnion”). TransUnion is the supplier of credit data to TUI for use in connection with the Products. TUI may make arrangements with one or more third parties, including TransUnion, to provide the Products to you or to sell you Products provided by a sub-contractor. TUI, TransUnion and any such third parties are referred to as herein collectively as “supplying”, “we”, “us” and “our”. The Site provides data and other information on consumer credit reports (“Content”) and other services such as personal credit profiles and scores and credit monitoring (“Product(s)”).

The Site, the Content and the Products are provided to you subject to your agreement to be bound by these terms and conditions of purchase (“Terms of Purchase”). BY ACCESSING THE SITE AND PURCHASING THE PRODUCTS, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF PURCHASE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ONE OR MORE OF THESE TERMS OF PURCHASE, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SITE AND DO NOT PURCHASE ANY PRODUCT.

Capacity to Contract.

Purchase order requests and purchases of our Products may only be made by persons who have reached the age of majority in the jurisdiction in which they reside or are of legal age and who have the capacity to contract.

System Requirements.

Online ordering of Products requires the use of a secure browser such as Netscape Navigator 6.0 or higher or Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher. Your Internet browser must support SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) with 128-bit encryption.

Membership and Auto-Renewal

"Credit Monitoring Unlimited" is a monthly membership. Credit alerts, TransUnion credit profiles, credit scores and debt analysis are available at your discretion as part of the Credit Monitoring Unlimited offering, but are subject to a limit of one new credit profile, together with related credit score and debt analysis, every 24 hours.

"Credit Monitoring", "Debt Monitoring" and "Credit Score Monitoring" are quarterly memberships. Credit profiles, credit scores and debt analysis are provided quarterly and are available for a period of 30 days.

These memberships automatically renew each quarter or, in the case of Credit Monitoring Unlimited, each month, indefinitely without action by the member, and the quarterly or monthly membership fee, as applicable, is charged to the member at the time of renewal. An enrollee whose membership fee has been paid is entitled to all privileges included in these memberships until the membership is cancelled by the enrolled member. Upon cancellation, the member loses access to the areas of the Site designated for members only. This could include any credit data and analyses that have been displayed in the past. A member may cancel the automatic renewal at any time prior to the next renewal date by notifying us via the toll-free number set forth in the Site for cancellations. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law cancellation or termination will not entitle you to any refund. When you become a member entitled to "Credit Monitoring Unlimited", you understand that it is a membership that automatically renews itself every month on the monthly anniversary of your initial purchase. When you become a member entitled to "Credit Monitoring", "Debt Monitoring" and/or "Credit Score Monitoring", you understand that it is a membership that automatically renews itself every quarter on the quarterly anniversary of your initial purchase. On each renewal date we will charge the applicable membership fee to your credit card account, at the then prevailing rate, and your membership will continue automatically. When you become a member entitled to "Credit Alerts", you understand that it is a membership that automatically renews itself annually on the yearly anniversary of your initial purchase. We will charge the annual membership fee to your credit card account, at the then prevailing rate, and your membership will continue automatically.

We will charge membership fees to the credit card that was most recently used on the Site. Should your credit card fail to authorize, you will be notified via email immediately. The benefits of your membership (including, without limitation, online credit reports and weekly alerts) will be suspended until payment is received provided payment is received within 30 days. If payment is not received within 30 days, any previous data you may have received will be purged from our database, and your membership will be cancelled.

Ordering and Investigations

After an identity verification process, we will display the Products that you have selected to purchase and you understand that : (a) a fee is charged for the provision of these Products and that payment of this fee does not guarantee the completeness and/or accuracy of the information supplied; and (b) you have the right to dispute inaccurate information by contacting the consumer reporting agency directly. Neither you nor any credit repair company or credit service organization has the right to have accurate, current and verifiable information removed from your credit profile, score or other Products. Consumer reporting agencies will investigate your dispute within the delay specified under consumer reporting legislation and you will receive a letter indicating the results of the investigation. This will be mailed to you using Canada Post. Please allow 3-5 business days for mail delivery following the completion of the investigation.
