Certificate: A digitally signed document that is a public-key certificate in the version 3 format specified by ITU-T Recommendation X.509. The digital signature on the certificate binds a subject’s identity and other data items to a public key value, thus attesting to the ownership of the public key by the subject. The certificate data items include, at least, the identity of the subject; the public key value; the identity of the certification authority that signs the certificate; and the certificate’s serial number.

Certification Practice Statement (CPS): The Comodo document setting forth Comodo’s validation and issuance practices located in the Repository.

Comodo: Comodo CA Limited who is the issuer of the Certificate covered by the Warranty.

Covered Loss: A direct monetary loss associated with an online credit card transaction that meets the criteria under Section 3.

Covered Person: A person who meets all of the criteria found in Section 4 of this Agreement that will receive payment for a Covered Loss. If multiple Covered Persons are affiliated as to a common entity, then those multiple Covered Persons collectively are eligible to receive a maximum amount in accordance with the Maximum Certificate Coverage set forth in section 6 per Incident.

Incident: Any instance of a fraudulent online credit card transaction made in reliance on a unrevoked and unexpired Comodo issued Digital Certificatewhere Comodo failed to perform the validation requirements set forth in its CPS.

Maximum Certificate Coverage: The maximum amount of a single transaction that will be covered by the Warranty associated with the Certificate. Maximum Certificate Coverages are set forth in section 6.

(a) The Warranty applies only to an Incident where the Certificate used by the Covered Person was issued by Comodo in violation of the validation procedures set forth in the Comodo CPS, where the losses incurred were a direct result of Comodo’s negligence in following these validation procedures, and where the losses were monetary losses associated with a fraudulent online credit card transaction.

(b) The Warranty shall cover a monetary loss equal to the lesser of 1) the amount directly paid by the Covered Person in reliance on the Certificate as offset by any amount recovered from the relevant credit card issuer, 2) the Maximum Certificate Coverage associated with the Certificate, or 3) the total amount remaining of the Total Payment Limit for the relied upon Certificate.

Relying Parties may check with Comodo at any time to ensure that the Total Payment Limit has not been reached.
