Part 1. Automatic Renewals And Billing

This section does not apply to you if you are an employee who is provided the Services via an arrangement your employer or your employer’s managed service provider has with us under Section 1.7(b) (see below).

1.1 Subscription and Enrollment. Depending upon the Services you subscribe or register to use, you may be permitted to be enrolled as follows: (1) by telephone, (2) by the Aura website, (3) by another method permitted by Aura or (4) by a third-party who is authorized on Aura’s behalf or provide your personal information to enroll you on your behalf. Our Services are generally billed on a subscription basis (“Subscription”). If applicable and you elect to enroll in a Subscription, you will be billed in advance for your Subscription on a recurring and periodic basis (“Billing Cycle”). The length of your Billing Cycle will depend on the Subscription you select. Billing Cycles will typically consist of one (1) month or one (1) year terms (“Subscription Term”). You agree to pay for the Subscription that you select. You also authorize us to automatically charge the payment method our service provider has on file based on the Billing Cycle applicable to your Subscription.  If you have a yearly subscription, upon renewal, we may automatically change the payment cycle of your subscription from a yearly payment cycle to a monthly payment cycle provided we give you at least ten (10) days’ prior notice of such change and the total fees owed for one year of monthly payments equals your yearly subscription price.  

1.2 Automatic Renewals and Cancellation.  At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew for an additional Billing Cycle at the price shown in your account dashboard or otherwise communicated to you by us pursuant to Section 1.6 (“Renewal Price”) unless you or we have canceled your Subscription at least one (1) day prior to the commencement of your next Billing Cycle or in accordance with Section 1.4 below. We will email you in advance to let you know your Subscription is due for renewal and provide the renewal price in your account dashboard. You may cancel your Subscription by contacting us via the phone number in your account dashboard or by logging into your account. Once we or you have canceled your Subscription, your recurring subscription fees for the Services will no longer be charged to the payment method our service provider has on file for your account, and your Subscription will remain active only until the end of the current Billing Cycle.  Aura is under no obligation to provide you any refund if you cancel your Subscription early.

For individuals residing in the province of Quebec, please see additional provisions at Section 5.1.2 for automatic renewals.

1.3 Plan Switching.  In the event we allow you to switch your Aura Subscription plan, we will send you an email confirming the plan change, and reflect any Service Credits (as defined in Section 1.8) or amount owed due to the difference in changing plans, and the Billing Cycle for the new plan. Your plan switch will be effective as of the date shown in your account profile and confirmation email, which will generally be tied to the date you elect to switch your plan.

1.4 Money Back Guarantee.  Certain Services may include a Money Back Guarantee. If a Money Back Guarantee is offered for the Services, the terms of the Money Back Guarantee will be visible in your account profile.

1.5 Payment Methods.  A valid payment method is required to process the payment for your Subscription. You shall provide us or our third-party payment processor with accurate and complete billing information which may include full name, address, state/province/territory, zip/postal code, and valid payment method information. By submitting such payment information, you automatically authorize us to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to any such payment instruments.

Unless we expressly provide otherwise, all amounts paid are non-refundable. You further agree to be responsible for any applicable state/provincial/territorial, federal or other taxes that may be associated with the Services, including sales taxes, along with any transaction fees and currency conversions added by your financial institution and intermediaries. All amounts are in U.S. Dollars for U.S. customers and Canadian Dollars for Canadian Customers.

If the billing method you provide is a credit or debit card (“Payment Card”), you:

(a) represent that you are authorized to use such Payment Card;

(b) authorize us to charge your Payment Card periodically for the Subscription fees when due, including upon sign up for the Services and each subsequent Billing Cycle;

(c) agree to keep your Payment Card details valid and current; and

(d) agree to pay any processing fees that are charged by the third-party payment processors or Payment Card issuer.

If your Payment Card is declined when we attempt to charge it, we may try to charge it again at a later time. If we do not receive payment, we may suspend or terminate your Subscription.

1.6 Fee Changes.  We may change the fees that we charge for the Services at any time at our sole discretion, provided that we will give you at least thirty (30) days of prior notice of such changes. Unless otherwise specified in such notice to you, any changes to the Subscription fees will take effect in the next Billing Cycle immediately following our notice to you.  

1.7 Cancellations with Aura Authorized Resellers.  If you enrolled in our Services as part of an employee benefits program, managed service provider program or Reseller Program, the following terms apply.

1. Employee Benefits Voluntary User Program.

If you enrolled in our Services via an Employee Benefits Employer Paid Program (where the employer pays for the Services to be provided with an option for you to purchase additional Services via credit card purchase), any Services paid for by the employer will not result in any refund to you at time of cancellation. If you purchased additional Services via credit card, no refunds are provided.  The Services will continue to be accessible until the last day of your current month’s billing cycle.
3. Employee Benefits User Direct Enrollment Program. If you enrolled in our Services via an Employee Benefits User Direct Enrollment Program (where you pay for the Services directly), no refunds are provided.  The Services will continue to be accessible until the last day of your current month’s billing cycle.

1.8 Service Credits.  At any time, and for any reason, we may provide you with credits that are redeemable for our Services (“Service Credits”).  Unless otherwise required by applicable law, Service Credits are not legal tender or currency; are not redeemable, refundable, or exchangeable for any sum of money or monetary value; have no equivalent value in fiat currency; do not act as a substitute for fiat currency; and do not constitute or confer upon you any personal property right. Service Credits are non-transferable and may be used only in connection with the Services.  Service Credits are not refundable and expire one year after the date of purchase or issuance if not used, unless otherwise specified at the time of purchase.

If you do not provide this necessary information and we cannot verify your identity, our service providers may be unable to successfully provide the features in the Subscription plan you’ve selected.  As such, we may refuse to allow you to use certain features (for example, some credit based features) and may automatically enroll you in a version of our Services that has fewer features (for example, only including non-credit features).

Updates may also modify or delete features, functionality, tools or content in their entirety.  If you do not download and install the most recent Updates, portions of the Services may not properly operate.  All Updates will be deemed part of the Services and be subject to all terms and conditions of the Terms.  You agree that Aura has no obligation to provide any Updates or to continue to provide or enable any particular features, functionality, tools or content.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CERTAIN DISCLAIMERS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS AND TERMS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. CONSUMER RIGHTS MAY VARY FROM ONE JURISDICTION TO ANOTHER JURISDICTION. TO THE EXTENT YOU MAY HAVE CERTAIN RIGHTS UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS IN YOUR JURISDICTION, NOTHING IN THESE TERMS IS INTENDED TO AFFECT THOSE RIGHTS, IF THEY APPLY.

2.10 Limitation of Liability and Damages.  TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER LAW AND EXCEPT WHERE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FOR INDIVIDUALS RESIDING IN THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC, AURA AND THE AURA ENTITIES WILL HAVE NO OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY (WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) FOR ANY DAMAGES OR LIABILITIES, INCLUDING DIRECT, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING ANY LOSS OF DATA, REVENUE OR PROFIT OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM PERSONAL INJURY/WRONGFUL DEATH) ARISING CONCERNING YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION APPLIES TO DAMAGES ARISING FROM (i) USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, (ii) COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS AND SERVICES, (iii) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS BY THIRD PARTIES, (iv) THIRD-PARTY CONTENT MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THE SERVICES, OR (v) ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THE SERVICES.  THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN AURA AND YOU.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER LAW, NEITHER AURA, CSID, EQUIFAX, TRANSUNION, EXPERIAN NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO YOU AS AN AGENT IN OBTAINING COPIES OF ANY OF YOUR CREDIT REPORT, CREDIT ALERT REPORT, QUARTERLY UPDATE, OR CREDIT SCORE.

THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF ALL SUCH PARTIES TO YOU, IN ANY EVENT, IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT WHICH YOU HAVE PAID AURA FOR YOUR MEMBERSHIP. AURA PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ARE NOT A CREDIT COUNSELING SERVICE AND DO NOT PROMISE TO HELP YOU OBTAIN A LOAN OR IMPROVE YOUR CREDIT RECORD, HISTORY, OR RATING. THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION, CANCELLATION, OR EXPIRATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

2.11 Government Use.  This Section 2.11 applies where the Services are provided for the benefit of a U.S. governmental end-user.  As defined in FAR section 2.101, the Services are “commercial items” and according to FAR 12.212 and DFARS section 252.227-7014(a)(1) and (5) are deemed to be “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation.” Consistent with FAR section 12.212 and DFARS section 227.7202, any use modification, reproduction, release, performance, display, or disclosure of such commercial software or commercial software documentation by the U.S. Government will be governed solely by these Terms and will be prohibited except to the extent expressly permitted by these Terms.

2.12 Dispute Resolution By Binding Individual Arbitration.  Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer's satisfaction by contacting us.  If customer service is not able to resolve your concern or complaint to your satisfaction, you agree to give Us a fair opportunity to resolve any complaint, claim or dispute you may have informally and shall provide Us with a written notice of your claim in the manner described in the Notices; Contact Us section, so that we can cooperate with each other to try to address the matter amicably prior to engaging in any formal dispute resolution proceedings.

In the unlikely event that customer service is unable to resolve a complaint you may have with Aura or Aura’s service provider(s) to your satisfaction (or if Aura and/or Aura’s service provider(s) have not been able to resolve a dispute with you after attempting to do so informally), you, on the one hand, and Aura and/or Aura’s service provider(s), on the other, each agree to resolve those disputes under the Arbitration Agreement contained in this Section 2.12. The Arbitration Agreement requires you to resolve all disputes (other than those expressly exempted in this Section 2.12) through binding arbitration on an individual basis, instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court.  Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. However, in arbitration, you, on the one hand, and Aura and/or Aura’s service provider(s), on the other, will be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees to the same extent they would be available in court.

Arbitration Agreement 

1. Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding. You and Aura agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and that you and Aura are each waiving the right to a trial by jury and the right to participate in a class action.  The parties further agree that, in order to bring a claim in arbitration, they must first be able to satisfy the federal standing requirement under Article III of the United States Constitution with respect to their claim, and that the arbitrator shall be empowered to make a binding determination on standing. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.   
2. Exceptions. As limited exceptions to Section 2.12(a) above: (i) we both may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights (iii) claims you may have which relate to your credit report, or any claims arising out of or relating to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) and/or the FCRA’s law equivalent(s) in other jurisdictions are not subject to this Arbitration Agreement. 
3. Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org. 
4. Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you live, unless we both agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement.
5. Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, and we won’t seek to recover the administration and arbitrator fees we are responsible for paying, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. Both You and Aura will be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees to the same extent they would be available in court.
6. Injunctive and Declaratory Relief. Except as provided in Section 2.12(b) above, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by either party and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. To the extent that you or we prevail on a claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.
7. Class Action Waiver. YOU AND Aura AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ Dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.
8. Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 2.12(f) of these Terms (“Class Action Waiver”), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply.

Authorization:  As needed to provide the Services to You, You authorize and instruct Us to obtain, monitor and compile your (a) credit information from one or more credit reporting agency(-ies), and (b) "non-public personal information", "personal information," and "highly restricted personal information" about you as defined by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (15 U.S.C. §6801 et seq.) and Driver’s Privacy Protection Act (18 U.S.C. § 2721 et seq.), respectively, and other personal information.  You understand that by enrolling in the Services, you are providing "written instructions" in accordance with the applicable law, including the US federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, as amended ("FCRA"), for Aura and its service providers, which may include CSIdentity Corporation (“CSID”), Equifax Inc. (“Equifax”), Experian, Inc. (“Experian”),  and Transunion, LLC (“TransUnion”)  to obtain information from your personal credit profile from Experian, Equifax, and Transunion, the three major credit reporting agencies. If applicable, you authorize Aura and its service providers to use your Social Security number to access your personal credit profile, verify your identity, and provide credit monitoring, reporting, and scoring products. Further, you authorize Aura to make any inquiries necessary to verify your identity or your ownership of financial or other accounts relevant to your use of the Services.

If we are unable to verify your identity or otherwise obtain your credit information from a credit reporting agency, we will be unable to provide certain Services to you and reserve the right to refuse to offer some or all of the Services to you, downgrade or cancel your Subscription, as applicable.

Insurance: Identity theft insurance is governed by a master policy (which may differ depending on the identity theft insurance plan you are enrolled in), the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. The issuance of the policy is evidenced by the applicable insurance certificate, summary of benefits, or other similar document that has been provided to you. You acknowledge receipt of this information and agree to be bound by the terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions of the policy applicable to the identity theft insurance plan you are enrolled in. 

Credit Report-Related Disclosures for US Residents: The Fair Credit Reporting Act allows you to obtain a disclosure from every credit reporting agency of the nature and substance of all information in your file at the time of the request. Full disclosure of information in your file at Experian must be obtained directly from Experian by calling 888-397-3742 or logging on to www.experian.com/consumer. The credit report you are requesting from Aura is not intended to constitute the disclosure of Experian information required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act or similar state laws. You are entitled to receive a disclosure directly from the consumer reporting agency free of charge under the following circumstances:

• You have been denied credit, insurance or employment within the past sixty (60) days as a result of your credit report.
• You certify in writing that you are unemployed and intend to apply for employment in the 60-day period beginning on the date on which you made the certification. 
• You are a recipient of public welfare assistance 
• You have reason to believe that your file at the agency contains inaccurate information due to fraud Annually at www.annualcreditreport.com

Otherwise, subject to applicable law, the consumer reporting agency may impose a reasonable charge for the disclosure.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act permits you to dispute inaccurate or incomplete information in your credit file. You understand that accurate information cannot be changed. You do not have to purchase your credit report or other information from Aura to dispute inaccurate or incomplete information in my Experian file or to receive a copy of your Experian consumer credit report.

Experian’s National Consumer Assistance Center provides a proprietary consumer disclosure that is different from the consumer credit report provided by Aura. The disclosure report must be obtained directly from Experian. Consumers residing in the States of Colorado, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, and Vermont may receive a free copy of their consumer credit report once per year and residents of the State of Georgia may receive two copies per year.

Fraud Alerts are available to any eligible consumers—free of charge—from a national consumer reporting agency.

NOTICE TO ILLINOIS RESIDENTS: MANY GOVERNMENT RECORDS ARE AVAILABLE FREE OR AT A NOMINAL COST FROM GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO GIVE YOU A COPY OF YOUR CREDIT RECORD UPON REQUEST AT NO CHARGE OR FOR A NOMINAL FEE.

The Services are not intended to substitute for any free credit report or disclosure that any credit reporting agency or bureau is required by law to provide to you. Neither you nor anyone else has the right to have accurate and current information removed from your credit report. If information in your credit report is inaccurate, you have the right to dispute it by contacting the credit bureau directly.

VANTAGE SCORE 3.0 CREDIT SCORE: VantageScore 3.0, with scores ranging from 300 to 850, is a user-friendly credit score model developed by the three major nationwide credit reporting agencies, Experian®, TransUnion®, and Equifax®. VantageScore 3.0 is used by some but not all lenders. Higher scores represent a greater likelihood that you'll pay back your debts so you are viewed as being a lower credit risk to lenders. A lower score indicates to lenders that you may be a higher credit risk.

There are three different major credit reporting agencies, Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax, that maintain a record of your credit history known as your credit file. Credit scores are based on the information in your credit file at the time it is requested. Your credit file information can vary from agency to agency because some lenders report your credit history to only one or two of the agencies. So your credit scores can vary if the information they have on file for you is different. Since the information in your file can change over time, your credit scores also may be different from day-to-day. Different credit scoring models can also give a different assessment of the credit risk (risk of default) for the same consumer and same credit file.

There are different credit scoring models which may be used by lenders and insurers. Your lender may not use VantageScore 3.0, so don't be surprised if your lender gives you a score that's different from your VantageScore. (And your VantageScore 3.0 may differ from your score under other types of VantageScores). Just remember that your associated risk level is often the same even if the number is not. For some consumers, however, the risk assessment of VantageScore 3.0 could vary, sometimes substantially, from a lender’s score. If the lender's score is lower than your VantageScore 3.0, it is possible that this difference can lead to higher interest rates and sometimes credit denial.

Certain Public Records Monitoring: The sex offender (“Offender”) information that is used for a specific feature for the Services to monitor for if your information is added to a sex offender registry is derived from official public records. As such, the accuracy of the information provided through the Services may vary based upon the accuracy of such official public records. In certain cases, we may not obtain all the address information associated with the Offender who is contained in the public record. Aura has no control over the contents of official public records. If you believe the information found using this feature is incorrect, please contact the local police department in the applicable jurisdiction for assistance. That police department will be able to assist you directly or refer you to the appropriate authority.

3.4 Data Broker Opt Out.  If you sign up for the Data Broker Opt Out Services, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

1. On your behalf, Aura will make reasonable efforts to have your personal information that you provided to us removed or suppressed (“opt-out”), in whole or in part, certain third-party databases and/or websites (the “Data Brokers”) identified in the Services.  You understand that we will only be able to submit opt outs for the information you provide to us.
2. You expressly authorize Aura, its agents, and its employees, to act as your personal representative or authorized agent to submit opt outs to Data Brokers and otherwise implement the Services and if applicable and available to you, for any Junior Members under the Family Plan, including by acting to:

• obtain information on your behalf;
• submit your personal information to Data Brokers;
• communicate with Data Brokers or other third parties on your behalf;
• take any other actions that Aura believes is reasonably necessary to opt you out of a Data Broker.

3. The extent of the opt-out will vary based on the Data Broker, and its terms and practices. It is possible that some Data Brokers may contact you to confirm your request and/or to request additional information; and in such an event, our ability to remove your information will depend on your response to them.
4. You can personally opt out to these Data Brokers to the same extent that Aura submits the opt out on your behalf. Aura makes no claims that it has any ability to opt you out of any Data Broker beyond your ability to do so on your own behalf.
5. Aura is under no obligation to and will not pay any fees to a Data Broker in order to opt you out.
6. You must give us authority to act only on your behalf and not on behalf of any person other than yourself except if applicable and offered to you, as a feature under the Family Plan for a Junior Member. If you give us information that we know, discover, or suspect is false or inaccurate, or relates to another person that is not accurate, we may suspend or terminate your access to the Services and reserve the right to, where we deem it appropriate, report such conduct to law enforcement and other third parties, and to cooperate in the investigation of such conduct.
7. We are not liable to you for the manner in which a Data Broker treats or uses your personal information. A Data Broker’s treatment or use of your information will be subject to the Data Broker’s policies, if any, and not these Terms or the Aura Privacy Policy.
8. While we will make reasonable efforts to remove your information, the success of the Services is ultimately dependent on the cooperation of the Data Brokers. We cannot and do not guarantee that the Services will be effective, that opt out requests will be honored by Data Brokers, or that all opt outs will be equivalent (e.g., some Data Brokers may remove all of the information included in the opt out submitted, while other may remove only some or none at all). We are not responsible for the actions or inactions of any Data Broker, and make no representations, warranties or guarantees related to such. You expressly agree that we will not be liable to you under any circumstances for any actions or inactions of the Data Brokers, or for our failure, for any reason, to effectuate opt outs on your behalf.
9. You may choose to install the Aura browser extension on a supported browser to run the Broker Opt Out Services on your computer. By installing and activating the Aura browser extension, you expressly authorize Aura, its agents, and its employees, to submit opt out requests to Data Brokers for you from your device.

If you receive a notification, you will need to contact your relevant authority to get more detailed information and/or correct their records.  The accuracy of the notifications provided through the Services is dependent on the Authorities’ records.

Each account holder (or a parent/legal guardian for minors) must sign into his/her own account in order to view or update their information.  If you have additional members in your subscription plan, you may be able to elect to share certain information or alerts you received from the Services with members of your choosing (“Alert Sharing”).  You may choose to end future Alert Sharing with any member in your plan at any time.  Information shared prior to revoking Alert Sharing may still be accessible by the member in your Family Plan.  If you receive information or alerts related to an additional member’s credit profile (“Credit Information”), you agree you will not use such Credit Information for consumer or commercial credit-granting purposes, and in all cases will use such information in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.  Aura is not responsible for the actions of individuals whom you choose to share your informational alerts with.   

3.10 Parental Controls.  The parental controls Services (“Parental Controls”) are only for parents to monitor the Internet and mobile activity of their minor children and are designed to be administered by adults on behalf of a family or community. If you are subscribing to the Parental Controls, you are giving the undertakings and consents contained in these Terms and the Privacy Policy on behalf of your own child(ren) and legal dependent(s).  Information collected by Aura to provide the Parental Controls to you is more fully described in the Aura Parental Controls Privacy Notice.  BY USING THE PARENTAL CONTROLS SOFTWARE, YOU EXPRESSLY AUTHORIZE AURA TO PROCESS THIS INFORMATION ON YOUR BEHALF, AND INDEMNIFY AURA FROM ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIMS, INCLUDING ANY STATE OR FEDERAL ‘WIRETAP’ LAW CLAIMS, ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLLECTION OF THIS INFORMATION ON YOUR BEHALF.  

You may use the Services to track and monitor only your minor children, minor children for whom you are the legal guardian or others for whom you have legal authorization to track and monitor. By enrolling a child as part of the Family Plan, you represent and affirm that (a) you are the custodial parent or legal guardian of each minor child you register, (b) any documentation that you provide asserting the same is valid, (c) each minor child that you register legally resides at your address of record, and (d) that as required, you are able and willing to provide a copy of (i) your valid driver's license, (ii) your child's social security card, (iii) your child's birth certificate, and (iv) any other documentation required to verify proof of legal guardianship. You agree to notify us in the event that the status of your legal guardianship changes; we reserve the right to cancel each child upon such status change. Enrollment of any child in Family Plan will be canceled upon any child becoming 18 years old and the primary member may then invite the adult (former child) to join his/her Family Plan.  If requested, you agree to provide documentation necessary in our sole discretion to prove your relationship with any minor child on your account.

The parent or legal guardian user(s) in a Family Plan with Parental Controls selected are solely responsible for any activity or actions in their Family Plan account resulting from the use of their log-in credentials on the Services, whether or not the primary user has authorized such activities or actions. You acknowledge that the Parental Controls feature does not monitor for all content or your child’s behavior in real time.  Alerts and/or insights may not be 100% accurate or timely.  Any information obtained through your use of the Parental Controls is delivered to you for your use at your own discretion and risk.  No advice, results, or information or materials, whether oral or written, or obtained by you through the Parental Controls shall create any warranty or representation by Aura.

You further acknowledge that Aura does not guarantee that content you deem objectionable will be 100% unavailable at all times or at any time. You assume full risk and responsibility for the use of or reliance on the Parental Controls feature as regards content blocking. “False positive” content blocking may occur from time to time or at any time. We strive to allow sufficiently granular control of content filters to allow educational or meritorious content through, if that is the intent of the user. However, there is no guarantee that some content that you would deem acceptable will not be blocked by the Parental Control feature. In the event that you believe we are miscategorizing a site or service, please contact us at support@aura.com to submit the issue for review.

The type and frequency of alerts you receive through SMS may differ from the alerts you receive within the App, and mobile alerts may be delayed, incomplete, or not received due to technical errors from our systems, the mobile provider, a third-party company, or your mobile service or device.

3.14 Alias Email.  Our Alias Email Services allow you to generate a random, “masked” email address to use when creating account credentials for third-party sites and services online. Emails sent from the third-party service provider to the masked email address will be redirected to the email address associated with your Subscription.

We do not guarantee that the Services will be effective or functional for all third-party sites and services.

3.15 Experian CreditLock.  By requesting an Experian CreditLock to be placed on your behalf, you are requesting to restrict most third-party access to your Experian credit report. You acknowledge that your Experian credit report, when locked with Experian CreditLock, may still be accessible by third parties in certain instances deemed to be low-risk by Experian, including access to your Experian credit report by the following third parties: (1) You, as part of any Service offering Experian CreditLock as a benefit; (2) potential employers or insurance companies; (3) companies that have an existing credit relationship with you; (4) collection agencies acting on behalf of companies or individuals on a debt you may owe and related collection activities; (5) companies providing pre-screened credit card offers. Please understand that your Experian credit report will be unlocked if you cancel a Service that includes Experian CreditLock as a benefit, or downgrade to a Service that does not include Experian CreditLock as a benefit.

Your Experian CreditLock will restrict delivery of your Experian credit report only, and does not apply to your TransUnion or Equifax credit report. To lock or place a security freeze on your Equifax or TransUnion credit report, you will need to contact those bureaus directly.

For more information about the Experian security freeze program, please contact Experian at https://www.experian.com/freeze/center.html or 1-888-EXPERIAN.

3.16  Vault.  If your subscription includes Aura’s Vault feature, you may use it to store your documents, certain personal information of yours, your passwords for any websites, apps or services that you elect to use it for, or other information (“User Information”) and scan the dark web via the Dark Web Monitoring Feature. .  The amount of storage space Aura provides to you is determined by the plan you select.  If you exceed your allotted amount of storage space, we will restrict you from uploading additional User Information.  Such restrictions shall remain until any such excess usage is adequately eliminated by you.  By using the Services, you confirm and agree that Aura’s use of your User Information as described in these Terms does not and shall not require any payment to any person or entity and does not require license, authorization, approval or consent by any other person or entity.

We may enable you to elect to share this User Information with other individuals in your family plan or third-parties who do not have an account with Aura via a secure web link or, if the individual has an account with Aura, within the Aura Vault (“Vault Sharing”).  Sharing within the Aura’s Vault may be revoked by you at any time, however, if you choose to send User Information via a secure web link and the recipient downloads the Shared Information to their device, Aura cannot guarantee the individual receiving the Shared Information no longer has access to it.  By electing to share your User Information, you acknowledge that the individual receiving the User Information may share the User Information with other individuals either through the Services or outside of the Services.  Aura is not responsible for the actions of individuals whom you choose to share your documents, personal information, and passwords with.     

Our Aura Vault browser extension will periodically notify you to store your passwords with Aura when you’re browsing the Internet. We recommend that you do not share the password to your Aura account with anyone, because anyone with access to your Aura account may be able to obtain access to your other passwords that you do not wish to share.

3.17 Call Protection and SMS Spam Blocker.  If your Aura subscription includes Aura’s Call Protection and SMS Spam Blocker, the feature will enable you, among other things, to automatically block nuisance calls (robocalls, telemarketers, etc.), to forward all unknown calls to an AI assistant (“Call Assistant”) to blacklist and whitelist specific numbers and, if enabled, to block SMS spam messages. Aura also offers automated call screening assistance. When an unrecognized number calls that is not (i) a contact, (ii) on your whitelist, or (iii) not clearly identified as spam, the automated call screening assistance feature will prompt the caller to state a name and purpose for the call, all of which is transcribed and made available for your review. Certain features may not be available in earlier versions of the application or on Android devices.

Functionality: We use a telephone carrier network (“PSTN”) to deliver calls to your Device. The technology and how calls are received on your Device are determined by your telephone carrier and the version of the operating system your Device is running when the App is set up.  Please note that you are solely responsible for any charges imposed by your mobile service provider for (i) using the call forwarding feature, (ii) local or long distance usage, and (iii) text message and data usage.

Call Blocking/Forwarding: Activating the call blocking/forwarding feature means that certain incoming calls (e.g. declined calls, silenced calls or unanswered calls) are forwarded to Aura in order to identify and block nuisance and unwanted calls accordingly (or send them back to your Device as a safe call - all before your phone rings). Calls from your Device’s contacts go directly to your Device.

Number Monitoring: You agree to check the numbers and messages from blocked calls on your Device regularly to ensure that you whitelist any legitimate phone number so that it will not be blocked in the future. The Service also provides you the ability to create and modify a personal whitelist ("Allow List") and blacklist ("Block List"). You can use the whitelist feature to ensure that a specific number is never blocked. You can add or remove users from your personal Allow List and Block List at any time. Please note that if you have requested a call from, or have an existing relationship with a debt relief company, collections company or if you provided your number to authorize a sales call to any company and you desire to continue receiving those calls, we advise you to add the number to your contacts or Allow List and to monitor your Aura messages for calls you may wish to return.

Access to Contacts: In order to provide the Services, Aura must access the numbers in your Device’s address book.

Call Assistant. Aura provides you the option to use its Call Assistant to respond to all unknown calls. If you choose to use Call Assistant, unknown callers (i.e. those not in your phone contact list) will hear a very polite but concise default recording. When the unknown caller engages with Aura’s Call Assistant, the conversation is recorded and transcribed. You may also choose to have the Call Assistant listen to and monitor your conversations with unknown callers (“Active Call Assistant Monitoring Feature”). If you activate the Active Call Assistant Monitoring Feature, the Call Assistant will alert you of potential scams if the Call Assistant determines the unknown caller’s conversation with you is suspicious.  Please note that if you activate the Active Call Assistant Monitoring Feature your conversation with any unknown caller will be recorded and transcribed.

The Call Assistant will categorize the call as Verified, Spam, or Unverified.  “Verified” means the Call Assistant determines the unknown caller is not making an unsolicited commercial call (i.e. a doctor’s appointment reminder).  “Spam” means the Call Assistant determines the unknown caller is making an unsolicited commercial call or a known scam offer (e.g. a call from a suspected scammer to extend your car’s warranty).  “Unverified” means the unknown caller’s response is too vague for the Call Assistant to categorize the call as Verified or Spam.

By default, if the Call Assistant categorizes the call as Verified, it will transfer the call to you.  If the Call Assistant categorizes the call as Spam or Unverified, it will request the caller leave a voicemail, which will be recorded and saved within the App (“Call Assistant Recording'').  You choose to change these default settings to have the Call Assistant also transfer Spam and/or Unverified calls to you.  BY USING AURA’S CALL ASSISTANT FEATURE, YOU EXPRESSLY AUTHORIZE US TO RECORD AND TRANSCRIBE CALL ASSISTANT CONVERSATIONS ON YOUR BEHALF.

If made available by Aura, you may choose to have the Call Assistant listen to and monitor your conversations with unknown callers (“Active Call Assistant Monitoring Feature”).  If you choose to activate the Active Call Assistant Monitoring Feature, the Call Assistant will alert you of potential scams if the Call Assistant determines the unknown caller’s conversation with you is suspicious.  Please note that if you activate the Active Call Assistant Monitoring Feature your conversation with any unknown caller will be recorded and transcribed.  

Legal Compliance: Depending on the state or country in which you are located, the Call Assistant recordings may require you or Aura to acquire the consent of the other parties on the call prior to recording the telephone conversation. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT AS THE INDIVIDUAL DIRECTING THE RECORDING, YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING THE LAW IN THE STATE OR COUNTRY IN WHICH YOU ARE RECEIVING CALLS PRIOR TO USING THE CALL ASSISTANT FEATURE IN THAT STATE OR COUNTRY. You agree not to enable the Call Assistant feature unless you have first determined that your use is legal.

Voicemail and Call Screening Transcriptions: Aura may transcribe voicemail messages and call screening recordings that will be made available for your use. Should you decide to deploy the transcription features, you acknowledge and expressly agree that Aura may transcribe or have transcribed by a third party and store or have stored by a third party, voicemail messages and call screening recording, and to make such transcriptions available to you.

Call Data Retention: We make no guarantees that we will retain certain call data such as calls, call recordings, voicemail, call screens, Call Assistants and transcriptions for greater than six (6) months, after which we may delete such call data. If you would like to retain this information, you can go to the App’s call details and share the information to your email or cloud storage account. You acknowledge that you bear sole responsibility for the back-up of this information.

SMS Spam Protection: Aura provides you with the option to enable a SMS spam protection feature which will filter SMS and MMS messages from individuals not in your Device’s contacts. When you enable the SMS spam blocking feature and grant us permission, we will filter SMS text messages from individuals that are not in your Device’s contacts and attempt to block any spam messages.

Call Forwarding Deactivation: Please follow the following deactivation steps if you enabled the call blocking/forwarding feature during the setup process. In addition to unsubscribing, you must deactivate your account within the App. If you still have the App on your Device, please open the Aura App > tap the settings tab located in the bottom right > tap help & feedback under support  > tap disable Aura > follow the on-screen instructions. If you deleted the App before deactivating the call blocking/forwarding feature, please open the settings icon on your Device > tap phone > tap call forwarding > turn off call blocking/forwarding. If you fail to deactivate the call blocking/forwarding feature, you will not receive your voicemail messages and may experience other problems with your telephone carrier.

3.18 Email Protection.  If your Aura subscription includes Aura’s Email Protection, you will be able to connect your third-party email accounts to Aura.  Once connected, Aura will access, monitor, review, and store each email you receive to assess and notify you whether the email may be a scam or not.  You acknowledge that use of the Email Protection feature does not guarantee that all scam e-mails will be identified 100% of the time. You assume full risk and responsibility for the use of or reliance on the Email Protection results as it relates to identifying scams. “False positives” and may occur from time to time or at any time.

3.19 Aura for Business Program.  If you receive the Services through the Aura for Business Program (“Aura for Business Program”), Aura will send a limited amount of data back to your employer or your employer’s managed service provider about your mobile device.  For a complete list of data Aura shares with your employer or employer’s managed service provider, please see the Aura for Business Program Supplemental Privacy Policy.  You acknowledge that any and all decisions about your access to your employer’s data via your mobile device are made solely by your employer.  Any questions about your access to your employer’s data via your mobile device should be directed to your employer or your employer’s managed service provider.  Aura does not make any decisions
