Contacts411 offers a U.S.-directed service (the “Service”) designed to provide you with more complete contact information about people who already are on your U.S. contact lists, such as in your iPhone Contacts Application or personal address book and those you may enter while in the Contacts411 app (your “Contacts”).

Subject to this Terms of Service, you may provide us with your Contacts’ U.S. phone numbers, U.S. postal addresses, and/or email addresses (“Submitted Data”), in response to which we may return to you, as available, additional and updated contact information related to those Contacts (“Returned Data”).
