Why?                 consumers the right to limit some but not all sharing. Federal law also requires us to tell you how
                     we collect, share, and protect your personal information. Please read this notice carefully to
                     understand what we do.


What?                The types of personal information we collect and share depend on the product or service you have
                     with us. This information can include:

How?                 All financial companies need to share customers’ personal information to run their everyday

                     personal information; the reasons Springboard chooses to share; and whether you can limit this
                     sharing.

16. FCRA DISCLOSURES. The FCRA allows Client to obtain a copy of all of the information in Client’s
    consumer credit file disclosure from any consumer credit reporting company for a reasonable charge. The
    FCRA also states that individuals are entitled to receive a disclosure directly from the consumer credit reporting
    company free of charge under the following circumstances:

        You have been denied credit, insurance or employment in the past 60 days as a result of your report
        You certify in writing that you are unemployed and intend to apply for employment in the 60-day period
         beginning on the day you make 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

    The FCRA also permits consumers to dispute inaccurate information in their credit report without charge.
    Accurate information cannot be changed. Client does not have to purchase their credit report or other
    information from Counseling Agency to dispute inaccurate or incomplete information in your credit report file
    or to receive a copy of your credit reporting company consumer disclosure.

    The FCRA allows consumers to get one free comprehensive disclosure of all of the information in their credit
    file from each of the three national credit reporting companies (Experian, Equifax®, and TransUnion®) once
    every 12 months through a central source. Georgia residents can receive two disclosures per year. Other credit
    reports may not have the same information as a credit report obtained directly from the three national credit
    reporting companies or through the central source. To request your free annual report under the FCRA, you
    must go to www.annualcreditreport.com, or call 877-322-8228. Counseling Agency’s services are not related to
    the free FCRA disclosure that you are or may be entitled to and Counseling Agency is not a credit reporting
    company.

17. NOT A CREDIT REPAIR ORGANIZATION OR CONTRACT. Counseling Agency may offer or make
    use of Client’s credit report, and other credit information. Counseling Agency and its affiliates are not credit
    repair organizations, and are not offering to sell, provide or perform any service to Client for the express or
    implied purpose of either improving Client’s credit record, credit history or credit rating or providing advice or
    assistance to Client with regard to improving Client’s credit record, credit history or credit rating. Client
acknowledges and agrees that Client is not seeking to purchase, use, or access any of Counseling Agency’s
    services in order to do so.

    Accurate adverse information on your credit report cannot be changed. If Client believe that their credit report
    contains inaccurate, non-fraudulent information, it is Client’s responsibility to contact the relevant credit
    reporting company, and follow the appropriate procedures for notifying the credit reporting company that you
    believe that Client’s credit report contains an inaccuracy. Any information provided to you regarding the
    procedures followed by the various credit reporting companies related to the removal of inaccurate, non-
    fraudulent information is provided without charge to you and is available for free. Any such information is not
    included as part of your services but is provided free of charge to all consumers, regardless of whether you
    purchase our services or not.

18. MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the parties. Except as
    otherwise provided for herein, this Agreement is governed by, entered into and interpreted under the laws of the
    state of California, excluding conflict of laws. Venue of any action shall be exclusively California. California
    shall have and retain exclusive jurisdictional rights Client may be entitled to by virtue of domicile, residency or
    otherwise. Should Client initiate any action in any other venue, it is agreed that upon application any such
    action shall be dismissed without prejudice, and may be re-filed in accordance with this Agreement. This
    provision shall survive the expiration or termination of the Agreement. With the exception of the arbitration
    provision above, if any aspect of this Agreement is or becomes prohibited or unenforceable, all remaining terms
    are fully enforceable.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:
Client acknowledges that he/she has read and understands each of the above provisions, terms and conditions of this
Agreement. This Agreement shall not be deemed effective until it is electronically signed, agreed to or accepted by
Client.
