Client will enter all requested Client and type code information when requesting Services. Experian may use Client's inquiry data for any purpose consistent with applicable federal, state and local laws, rules, and regulations Client will be responsible for installing the necessary equipment, software and security codes to prevent unauthorized access to an Experian database.
6.Data Contribution. If Client contributes information on its credit experience with consumers, including updates thereof, (collectively "Client Records") to Experian, Client agrees to make Client Records available to Experian at mutually agreeable times and format, in accordance with Section 623 of the FCRA. Client shall provide Client Records which are 


accurate to the best of its knowledge and shall promptly update and correct all known inaccurate information. Client shall provide  Experian with written notice (i) if any information is disputed by a consumer, (ii) if the consumer closes the account, and (iii) not later than 90 days after furnishing the information, of the date of the commencement or the delinquency of an account which is placed for collection.
