CreditAlert and CreditSignal products provide weekly and monthly email updates, respectively.

Business Advantage or Risk Advisor Subscription Service

If you cancel your Business Advantage or Risk Advisor subscription service after the first ninety days, you will be charged the full retail price for SelfMonitor or CreditBuilder products that you have ordered. The full annual coverage of these products will still be provided.

Annual and Monthly Service for SelfMonitor, CreditMonitor, CreditBuilder, CreditAlert and Trade Reference Add-ons

There is a 365 day period (from purchase) during which you may add your trade references to your credit file. For trade reference “Add-Ons”, there is also a 365 day period (from purchase) in which you may add your trade references to your credit file. Trade Reference “Add-ons” can only be purchased for Concierge Services that have been purchased in conjunction with the CreditBuilder product.

All trade references must be verified. Unverified trade references do not count toward your allotted amount. Ineligible trade references will also not count toward your allotted amount. Trade references not entered in a prior period may be entered at a later date not to exceed 365 days from purchase date. D&B Inc. reserves the right to determine what is considered a valid trade reference at its sole discretion. For example, international trade references will not be considered a valid trade reference by D&B Inc. and therefore will not be verified. It is possible that you may purchase a SelfMonitor or CreditBuilder product or another product that allows trade references and be unable to add any of your trade references. As such, all products that allow trade references to be added are provided to you “as is” and we specifically disclaim any express or implied warranties or representations related to trade references.
