Welcome to Florida Screening Compliance, LLC. By creating an account, you agree to be bound by the following terms:

Service Provision

We provide web-based services and tools for background screening. You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of data you input into our Services.

Use Restrictions

You may not misuse our Services. Prohibited activities include violating laws, infringing on intellectual property, and disrupting our systems or services.

Acceptance of Terms

By using our services, you agree to these Terms of Use and grant your explicit consent to be bound by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data.

Use of Information

The information provided through our Services is intended for legitimate business purposes, including but not limited to tenant screening and employment verification. By using our Services, you agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). It is your responsibility to ensure that any actions you take based on information provided through our Services are legally compliant.

Intellectual Property

All content provided on our Services is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws.

Disclaimers

Our Services are provided "as is." We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, to the extent permitted by law.

Accuracy and Completeness

Florida Screening Compliance, LLC provides a "50 State Background Screening" service. However, the accuracy and completeness of the information provided are subject to limitations. Some jurisdictions do not participate in national data sharing, and as such, we cannot guarantee that our reports are complete or up-to-date. Our services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, and we make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the accuracy or reliability of any information provided through our services.

Responsibility to Use Services:

It is your responsibility to ensure that all information required for the screening process is accurate and that you follow through with the use of the screening reports. Failure to use the reports once processed does not warrant a refund. Additionally, you are solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining the necessary consent from employees or tenants before submitting their information for screening. We provide a standard consent form for this purpose, but it is your duty to ensure that these consents are properly executed and maintained in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Failure to obtain such consents does not relieve you of your financial obligations to us, and no refunds will be provided for services rendered even if the screenings are not completed due to lack of proper authorization.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Florida Screening Compliance, LLC, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorney fees and costs, arising out of or in any way connected with your access to or use of our services, or your violation of these Terms.

Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Your continued use of the Services after any changes constitutes your agreement to the new Terms.

Changes to Services

We reserve the right to modify or discontinue our services at any time without notice. We will not be liable to you or any third-party should we exercise our right to modify or discontinue the service.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the state of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

Limitation of Liability

Our total liability arising out of or related to these Terms shall not exceed the amount you have actually paid us for the use of our Services during the twelve (12) months preceding the claim. In no event will we be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including without limitation, loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from (i) your access to or use of or inability to access or use the Services; (ii) any conduct or content of any third party on the Services; (iii) any content obtained from the Services; and (iv) unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or content, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence) or any other legal theory, whether or not we have been informed of the possibility of such damage, and even if a remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

Payments for Services:

Upon registering for our services and initiating employee or tenant screenings, you agree to pay the applicable fees. These fees cover the costs we incur in preparing and conducting the screenings.

Non-Refundable Fees:

All fees paid for the screening services are non-refundable. Once you have initiated a screening by submitting the required information and payment, we incur direct costs to gather and process the requested screenings. Even if you choose not to complete or utilize the screening results, these costs cannot be recuperated.

Cancellation of Services:

You may cancel the services at any time; however, please note that any fees paid prior to the cancellation are non-refundable. Cancellation will prevent future billings but does not entitle you to a refund for services paid for but not used.

Termination:

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your account and access to our Services at any time, with or without cause, without prior notice to you. Upon termination, your right to use the Services will immediately cease. If you wish to terminate your account, you may simply discontinue using the Services.

Survival:

The following sections will survive termination of your account and/or these Terms: Intellectual Property, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Use of Information, and Governing Law. These provisions will remain in effect after your account is terminated to protect and limit our ongoing legal obligations and rights.
