Please read these terms of use carefully before using T5-Authenticate.

 

TECH5 USA, Inc. (“we” or “us”) makes the T5-Authenticate mobile application (the “App”) and related website (the “Site”) available to you under these Terms of Use.

The App and the Site are referred to together as the “Service.” By registering as a user through the App or on the Site, you are becoming a registered user for the particular Service Operator that is using T5-Authenticate as part of its security processes. By registering, you unconditionally agree to follow and be bound by these Terms of Use. Your Service Operator may have additional terms and conditions that will apply to your account with that Service Operator.

When you enroll your biometric information, you understand that both we and your Service Operator may access and use this information. If you do not agree to be bound by and comply with all of these Terms of Use, you may not use the Service.
