Credit Card program and as otherwise permitted by law. This information might be used, for example, to enable their associates to answer questions about your Account, or to look up your Account number for you. Access to this information also enables Mohawk Carpet Corporation to provide you with notices of special promotions and other tailored offerings, as well as to update its customer records and to perform other Mohawk Industries, Inc.

(i) In addition to using affiliates to perform services in connection with your Account, we may provide information, such as identification, transaction and experience information, to financial services affiliates, such as those offering insurance and investment products, and we may provide information to non-financial services affiliates, such as those offering consumer products.

See “It’s Your Choice” for details on how to be excluded from our sharing of such Consumer Report Information.

Third-Party Offers: We work with select outside companies to develop special offers for you, which many of our customers find valuable.
