- DESCRIPTION OF VERIFIED BY VISA
Verified by Visa provides you with a way of increasing security in
online and other transactions for which Verified by Visa is used by
reducing the chances of fraud for those transactions. Registering for
Verified by Visa involves providing personal information to us, which
is then used to confirm your identity in connection with future online transactions
or other transactions for which Verified by Visa is used, as discussed
in more detail in Section 5 below. Verified by Visa also may
be used for record keeping and reporting purposes, as well as to help resolve
any transaction disputes. Your Registration Data, as defined in Section
3(b), and other personal information is not shared with the merchant, as discussed
in more detail in Section 6 below.
- YOUR REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS
- By signing up for Verified by Visa, you authorize us to retain
certain information about you, your credit cards and debit cards.
You authorize us to obtain from certain third parties selected by us, including
consumer credit bureaus and other consumer reporting agencies, information
about you, your credit cards and debit cards, to use in connection with
Verified by Visa. You authorize us to use and retain this information
in accordance with our Privacy Policy (see Section 6 below). Your
information will be associated with a unique identifier for you (your credit
card or debit card number and your name).
- You agree to (i) provide true, accurate, current and complete information
about yourself as prompted by Verified by Visa's registration
form (“Registration Data”), and (ii) maintain and promptly update
the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete.
If you provide any Registration Data that is untrue, inaccurate, not current

Data is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, we have the right
to suspend, terminate, or refuse your current or future use of Verified
by Visa.
- REGISTRATION
- In order to use Verified by Visa, you must provide certain information
to us that allows us to validate your identity and verify that you are the
owner of or an authorized user of the specified credit card(s) or debit
card(s). The information that you provide may be validated against
information we already have on file that is associated with you, your credit
card(s) or debit card(s), information we receive from one or more third
parties, or information maintained by a third party.
- If you are unable to provide adequate information for us to validate your

by Visa. You warrant that the information is correct and that
you have the legal right to use all of the credit cards and debit cards
that you register for Verified by Visa.

may not accept your Visa credit card or debit card in payment for an e-commerce
or other transaction subject to Verified by Visa.
