IF YOU INSTALL OR USE ANY SOFTWARE PRODUCT THAT ACCOMPANIES OR IS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THIS AGREEMENT WILL LEGALLY BIND YOU AND QB-Media (referred to as "QB-Media" or "we") AS THE OWNER AND LICENSOR OF THE SOFTWARE.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT OR DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT, PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE QB-Media SOFTWARE.

FOR INFORMATION REGARDING QB-Media's REFUND POLICY, PLEASE REFER TO OUR POLICY DOCUMENT.

THIS AGREEMENT REQUIRES THE BINDING ARBITRATION OF ANY DISPUTES (EXCEPT FOR SPECIFIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CLAIMS AND SMALL CLAIMS) AS DETAILED IN SECTION 14 BELOW. WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ THIS AGREEMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY, INCLUDING SECTION 14.

THIS AGREEMENT APPLIES TO YOU AND ANY INDIVIDUALS YOU AUTHORIZE TO INSTALL OR USE THE QB-Media SOFTWARE, AS OUTLINED IN THIS AGREEMENT.

This Terms of Service and End User License Agreement (the "Agreement") is issued by QB-Media and governs your use of and access to our products and services, including:

Collectively, these elements are referred to as the "Products." This Agreement should be read in conjunction with the QB-Media Privacy Policy, available at https://www.QB-Media/privacy-policy/. Your use of the Products signifies your agreement to both this Agreement and the Privacy Policy. If you are using the Products on behalf of an employer or another organization, you are also confirming your acceptance of this Agreement on behalf of that entity. The term "Products" encompasses both software and services provided directly by QB-Media, as well as those marketed or supplied by third parties through QB-Media.

QB-Media may periodically update this Agreement to account for changes in existing products, the introduction of new products, enhancements, features, or alterations in the legal or regulatory framework relevant to the Sites, Services, or Software. In the event of such changes, QB-Media will provide notice of the revised Agreement, typically through public notifications on the Sites, at least thirty days before the updated Agreement takes effect.

IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY FUTURE REVISIONS, YOU MUST CEASE ALL USE OF THE PRODUCTS IMMEDIATELY AND TERMINATE ANY ASSOCIATED ACCOUNTS.

YOUR COMMITMENTS TO US

    Attempting to breach or bypass security or authentication measures.
    Accessing or tampering with non-public areas of the Products or shared areas without proper authorization.
    Disrupting or interfering with users, hosts, or networks, such as by sending viruses, overloading, flooding, spamming, or mail-bombing any portion of the Services.
    Creating or accessing accounts through means other than publicly supported interfaces, such as "scraping" or bulk account creation.

In some cases, technicians may request additional information, screenshots, or files from your device. Failure to cooperate may impact the reliability and effectiveness of the services we provide.
SOFTWARE USAGE

The Products may include Software designed to safeguard your data and identity. This Software can be downloaded from the respective product Site and is periodically updated. Your right to use the Software is contingent upon your compliance with the terms outlined in this Agreement.

QB-Media hereby grants you a limited, personal, internal use, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to use the Software solely in connection with this Agreement and the Products.

This Agreement does not transfer any ownership rights in the Software to you. By accepting this Agreement, you acknowledge that the Software is licensed to you by QB-Media and is not sold or otherwise transferred to you.

As further detailed in Section XII below, QB-Media explicitly disclaims warranties of non-infringement, merchantability, and fitness for a specific purpose. We do not guarantee that the Software will:

  • Achieve specific results.
  • Operate without interruptions.
  • Be free of errors.

QB-Media employs reasonable efforts to protect your data; however, we cannot guarantee the security of your data in all circumstances, foreseeable or unforeseeable.

As explained further in Section XIV below, QB-Media disclaims all liability for the Software, including losses or liabilities resulting from compromised or lost data due to the Software. The Software may make changes to your computer or mobile device that could affect its functionality, such as deleting system or application files identified (accurately or inaccurately) by the Software as infected or potentially problematic. You acknowledge and accept these changes as a result of using the Software. Under no circumstances will QB-Media be liable for damages, including lost profits or data, or other incidental or consequential damages, arising from your use or inability to use the Software or any data provided with it, even if QB-Media has been advised of the possibility of such damages or faces claims from other parties.

The Software and Services are not designed for use in high-risk environments where fail-safe performance is necessary, such as nuclear facility operations, air traffic communications systems, weapons systems, life support machines, or any application where Software or Services failure could result in death, personal injury, data loss, or severe physical or property damage.

SOFTWARE BEHAVIOR

Upon installing desktop Software or mobile apps from QB-Media, you acknowledge the following Software behaviors:

  • Scheduled Tasks: The Products may create and run scheduled tasks on your device. These tasks are enabled by default but can be disabled in most cases via the product settings. To fully disable all scheduled tasks, you must uninstall the Software. No payment is required to modify or disable scheduled tasks created by any QB-Media Product.
  • Background Processes: The Software may set and run tasks or background processes on your computer that start automatically upon reboot or system restart. These tasks are essential for functions such as checking for updates, verifying your license, monitoring your system for product-related issues (e.g., privacy threats, malware attempts), and other tasks necessary for the Software to operate. If you do not wish to grant permission for these actions, you may uninstall the Software or disable the "Launch at System Startup" option in the product settings where applicable.
  • URL Redirects/Blocked Websites: The Software may detect specific website or software communication attempts as malicious and block incoming or outgoing communication between your computer and those websites or IP addresses. This is done to enhance your safety. If you prefer not to grant permission for this action, you can uninstall the Product(s) or disable the "Safe Browsing" feature in the product settings where applicable. If you wish to visit or allow a blocked URL, you can add it to your security software's exclusion list.
  • User Account Control (UAC): Certain QB-Media Products may disable User Account Control (UAC) prompts related only to those Products. You can uninstall the Product if you find this feature inconvenient.
  • Installing Multiple Software Products: We do not recommend installing multiple security products or utilities with overlapping functions on devices that are not designed for high performance.
  • General Software Behavior: We make reasonable efforts to support and update our Software to ensure compatibility with new updates, upgrades, or changes to related software, services, or operating systems that may impact or be affected by our Product's behavior. However, we cannot guarantee that our Products will function properly after the installation of incompatible products or software updates.
  • Silent Software Installation: If you have downloaded any of the Software products mentioned in this document as part of a third-party bundled offer where a QB-Media Product was included, the QB-Media Software may be silently installed on your device, without an installation wizard, with your explicit consent and permission.
IDENTITY PROTECTION SERVICES

QB-Media, in partnership with Identity and Credit Services, Inc. ("IDCS"), offers comprehensive identity protection services. Your use of the credit monitoring and identity protection services is subject to additional terms and conditions from IDCS.

Some of the Services may allow you to access and review your credit report, credit score, or receive alerts related to changes in your credit reports (the "Credit Monitoring Service"). By using the QB-Media Product that provides the Credit Monitoring Service, you agree to provide written instructions and consent in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, authorizing QB-Media, MyCleanID, and RealDefense's service providers, including IDCS, to obtain your consumer report information, including credit information, from one or more of the three major nationwide credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion), or any other credit bureau from which QB-Media and its service providers obtain consumer information.

You also agree and authorize IDCS, its agents, and employees, to share your personally identifiable information (or, if applicable, information about your enrolled child) with third parties as outlined in our Privacy Policy, which may be updated from time to time.

By accepting this Agreement, you waive any claims against IDCS, its agents, and employees for the actions or omissions of these third parties in relation to the use or disclosure of such information.

Furthermore, you grant IDCS and its agents and employees permission to obtain various information and reports about you (or your enrolled child, if applicable) to provide the products and/or services. This information may include address history reports, name and alias reports, criminal reports, sex offender reports, and monitoring and alerts.

During the enrollment process for the MyCleanID product, IDCS may request various types of information, including:


Contact information (such as name, address, phone number, and email address).

Sensitive information (such as date of birth, driver's license number, and social security number).

Personal information for identity verification.

Financial information (such as credit card number).

This information is necessary for identity verification, billing purposes, and to provide the Products to you, including communication with third parties as needed, such as identification verification companies, consumer reporting agencies, payment validation companies, law enforcement agencies, or other authorized entities.

Agents providing Remote Services do not perform data backup or restoration as part of the Remote Services, and QB-Media shall not be liable for any loss or damage to information on your computer or device in connection with the Remote Services.

ONLINE BACKUP

QB-Media agrees to provide the Online Backup Services in a professional and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable regulations.

While QB-Media will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist you with backing up and recovering your Data using the Online Backup Services, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to recover your Data in all circumstances. Therefore, your use of the Products is at your sole risk, and you are solely responsible for any damage to your computer system and any loss of or damage to data or information resulting from your use of the Products. If you decide to terminate or discontinue the Online Backup Services, you will have ten days to remove all your accessible Data from the Online Backup Services.
