As a condition to becoming a CO—Premium subscriber, you agree to submit the information required by the verification application, which can be accessed at: https://www.uschamber.com/co/co-premium-subscription
Your company must be verified to be eligible for a CO—Premium subscription. If you do not complete the verification process or your company cannot be verified, your subscription will be cancelled and your subscription will be refunded to you.
By clicking "I Agree," you acknowledge and consent to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s use of a third-party vendor(s) to confirm the legitimacy and eligibility of your business for listing in a Verified Business Profile on CO—. In order to facilitate verification, information you provide to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce about your business will be shared directly with our vendor(s). The vendor(s) will use this information, together with data from public records, government filings, commercial data sources, and other third-party providers, to generate a verification report.
The verification report may include additional information about your business, such as its Tax ID, controlling parties, annual revenue, and legal structure. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce uses this report for registry verification/publication purposes, as well as for other administrative and business purposes. Please reference our Privacy Policy for more information about the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's privacy practices.

[4] MISCELLANEOUS
By becoming a CO—Premium business, you acknowledge that you are not becoming a member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce or otherwise entitled to benefits of membership in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. In addition, you acknowledge that becoming a CO—Premium business is not an endorsement by CO— or the U.S. Chamber of Commerce of your or your business.
You also agree that the businesses featured on CO—, including your own, are independent entities that provide information through self-created profiles. Inclusion does not constitute endorsement, approval or certification by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and you may not represent endorsement, approval or certification by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce by virtue of being a CO—Premium business. The views, statements, and business practices of individual companies are solely those of the respective businesses and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. You may not represent that you or your business represent the U.S. Chamber of Commerce or its views or statements on any matter.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless CO— and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (and its affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, control persons, suppliers, licensors and agents) from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and costs) arising out of or related to: (a) your breach of your agreements, representations and warranties contained in these Terms and Conditions; and (b) your use of the CO—Verified Badge.
You agree that being a CO—Premium business, and payment of the CO—Premium fee, is limited to one company and may not be transferred to any other person, company or entity, even if affiliated or under common control. Any attempt to do so will immediately forfeit any benefits as a CO—Premium business, your license to use the CO—Verified Badge, and your access to any other benefits of the CO—Premium program.
