PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS PROVISIONS, INCLUDING A DISPUTE RESOLUTION AGREEMENT (SEE SECTION 25 BELOW, TITLED “DISPUTE RESOLUTION AGREEMENT—ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER”), THAT GOVERN HOW CLAIMS YOU AND BUILDIUM HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED, WHICH WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRE THE PARTIES TO SUBMIT CLAIMS THEY MAY HAVE AGAINST ONE ANOTHER TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION.

AS A RESULT, BUILDIUM SHALL NOT BE LIABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES FOR ANY INFORMATION EXCHANGED, THE CONTENTS OF ANY DOCUMENTS, OR FOR ANY OTHER INTERACTIONS BY, BETWEEN OR AMONG YOU AND ANY PROVIDERS, CONDUCTED THROUGH THE SITE, AND YOU HEREBY RELEASE BUILDIUM FROM ANY CLAIMS, DEMANDS AND DAMAGES (ACTUAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL) OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED AND UNSUSPECTED, DISCLOSED AND UNDISCLOSED, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH ANY PROVIDER SERVICES.

4.USAGE; CONTENT; REFUSAL OR SUSPENSION OF SERVICE

BUILDIUM RESERVES THE RIGHT, BUT HAS NO OBLIGATION, TO ACTIVELY MONITOR YOUR USE OF THE SITES. ACCORDINGLY, BUILDIUM ALSO RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DISABLE YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO THE SITES. You are solely responsible for your interactions with any other users of the Sites. You agree that Buildium is not responsible for any loss or damage incurred as the result of any such interactions. Buildium has no responsibility or duty to review, approve or pre-screen any content posted on the Sites by any third party (including property managers and owners and other Providers), and Buildium is not responsible for such content. You understand that all property listings, lease agreements, rental terms, postings, messages, text, voice commands, images, photos, files, video, and other information, materials or documents posted on the Sites or transmitted through or in connection with the Provider Services, users, advertisers or others (the “Non-Buildium Content”) are the sole responsibility of the applicable third party from whom such Non-Buildium Content originated. BUILDIUM DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY RELATING TO THE NON-BUILDIUM CONTENT. BUILDIUM DOES NOT GUARANTEE, AND YOU MAY NOT HOLD BUILDIUM RESPONSIBLE FOR, THE NON-BUILDIUM CONTENT (INCLUDING THE ACCURACY OR TRUTH OF SUCH NON-BUILDIUM CONTENT), OR THE NATURE, SAFETY, QUALITY, CONDITION, MANAGEMENT OF ANY RENTAL UNITS OR PROPERTIES ON THE SITES OR THE COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LAWS, REGULATIONS OR RULES THAT MAY BE APPLICABLE TO SUCH PROPERTIES. YOU AGREE THAT YOU BEAR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY FOR EVALUATING, AND ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH, THE USE OF ANY NON-BUILDIUM CONTENT, AND THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL BUILDIUM BE LIABLE FOR ANY NON-BUILDIUM CONTENT OR FOR ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS OF ANY KIND INCURRED AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF ANY NON-BUILDIUM CONTENT. Buildium reserves the right, but has no obligation, to delete or refuse to post any Non-Buildium Content for any reason. You acknowledge and agree that Buildium provides only those Buildium Services as described in these Terms or as otherwise expressly provided on the Sites by Buildium. Buildium does not provide, and has no responsibility or liability for, any other content or Provider Services, including but not limited to the following:

a.Any services provided by any Provider or otherwise not expressly provided by Buildium;

b.Electronic payment services, renters insurance, call center functionality and other functionality or offerings provided by Providers;

e.Inspection, screening or pre-approval of rental properties;

f.Verification, screening or pre-approval of property listings; or

g.Evaluation, screening or pre-approval of property managers or other advertisers who post listings or other content on the Sites. In the event that you desire, require, or need assistance with any such services or any other services not provided through the Sites, you are solely responsible for obtaining such services from a qualified third party.

5.ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

Certain aspects of the Buildium Services may be subject to additional requirements, guidelines, other technical and non-technical specifications, or other rules or policies or additional terms of use or service established by Buildium in addition to those set forth in these Terms (the “Buildium Requirements”). Any such Buildium Requirements will be posted in appropriate locations on the Sites and by this reference are incorporated into this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the Buildium Requirements and these Terms, the Buildium Requirements shall take precedence. In some cases, Providers may impose their own additional requirements in connection with Provider Services facilitated through the Site, including those which are rent-related. Any such requirements are imposed solely by the Providers; are the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Providers imposing them; are wholly unrelated to any Buildium Requirements; and Buildium has no responsibility or liability of any kind for such requirements imposed by Providers.

6.ACCOUNT REGISTRATION AND USE

In the event you agree to Terms with the acceptance of an invitation by the owner or property manager of your building, or their agents, (the “Property Manager”) and/or register to create a password-protected account, self-register, or submit information as part of the rental applicant (“Your Account”), you may have access to use certain features of the Site or the Buildium or Provider Services including any ability to, lease agreements, rental terms, postings, messages, text, voice commands, images, photos, files, video, and other information, materials or documents, if any (collectively, “Information and Material”). Under certain limited circumstances, your Property Manager and their agents (who are authorized by Buildium to have access to the Provider Services) may access your Account (solely with your permission), to assist you with certain Account activities at your direction. Such activities may include populating Account information, and setting up payment functionality within your Account. If you have any questions about such access, or observe any unauthorized Account changes or activity, please contact Buildium as soon as possible.

7.YOUR ACCOUNT

You agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current, and complete information as prompted by the registration form and other methods in which you provide information; and (b) maintain and update such information to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete at all times. Buildium reserves the right to delete your Account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Sites (or any portion thereof), without notice, if Buildium becomes aware of any discrepancies relating to information submitted in connection with your Account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for any activities performed through your Account. You agree to: (i) immediately notify Buildium of any unauthorized use or breach of security relating to your Account or password, (ii) immediately change your password if you become aware that your Account has been compromised, (iii) ensure that you fully exit (i.e., log out) from your Account at the end of each session. You will only allow your Property Manager to access the Provider Services portion of your Account made available by Buildium and will not disclose your password to anyone. You further agree not to use any other user’s password on the Site or attempt to gain access to the account of any other user, unless legally authorized to do so by Buildium or such user.

BUILDIUM IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY LOSSES OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS SECTION.

8.PRIVACY POLICY

Buildium has adopted a Privacy Policy that you should refer to in order to fully understand how we use and collect information. You consent to the collection, use, sharing and transfer of your personally identifiable information as outlined at https://www.buildium.com/privacy-policy/.

9.THIRD-PARTY COMMUNICATIONS

Although Buildium provides a platform that allows access to certain Provider Services through which users may communicate with various other Providers, advertisers, or other persons or entities (collectively, “Third-Party Communications”), Buildium is not involved in such Third-Party Communications and is not responsible or liable under any circumstances for the content of any Third-Party Communications. The content of such Third-Party Communications are determined solely by the applicable third parties. Buildium is solely responsible for its own communications, independent of any third parties. You acknowledge and agree that you will address any issues or concerns about Third-Party Communications with the responsible third party.

10. RENTER SCREENING

As part of the Buildium Services, Users may be permitted to submit information through the Sites for the purpose of conducting a background check or screening on behalf of a Property Manager or owner (a “Screening”). Information that you submit through the Sites for the purpose of such Screening shall be treated in accordance with the Privacy Policy. Your submission of the information requested for a Screening shall constitute your consent to the Screening process. Screenings also may be governed by other Buildium Requirements as may be disclosed to you in connection with the Screening. You acknowledge that you will address any issues or concerns with any Screenings, including the results of any Screenings, by contacting the appropriate Property Manager or owner, or as otherwise permitted under the Buildium Requirements applicable to the Screening or as otherwise required by law. Buildium shall not become involved in Screening-related issues except where the issue is solely attributable to a malfunction or error occurring on the Sites or in connection with the Buildium Services, or as otherwise specified in the Buildium Requirements applicable to the Screening, or as otherwise required by law.

11. PAYMENTS

Except as expressly provided below, any payments you submit through the Sites, including rental deposits, rental payments, application fee, or any other services or transactions, are for third-party services and not for Buildium Services. The total payment amounts required for those transactions are determined solely by you and the applicable third party, and not by Buildium. You acknowledge that you will address any discrepancies, issues or concerns with such payments by contacting such third party directly, and not Buildium. Buildium is not responsible for any such issues except to the extent solely attributable to a malfunction or error occurring on the Sites or in connection with the Buildium Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may use certain Buildium Services or Provider Services that require payment of a fee (e.g., screening services or lease execution fees) charged by Buildium or a third party. In such circumstances, Buildium or the applicable third party may collect these fees directly from you as provided on the Sites. You acknowledge these fees are subject to change and that the Buildium Services or Provider Services may require your consent to additional terms relating to such payments (e.g., relating to refunds (if any), billing arrangements and any consequences of failing to make timely payments). Application fees are non-refundable, even if an application is denied, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law. You must comply with all such terms in relation to such payments by you.

12. PAYMENTS-RELATED COMMUNICATIONS

Buildium may provide you with certain payments-related communications, including, without limitation, billing notices such as e-billing statements, account notifications, and reminders in advance of certain payment due dates known to Buildium (e.g., a rent payment). By creating an Account and/or otherwise accessing the Sites or Buildium Services, you expressly acknowledge and agree that Buildium may send such communications to you via your designated communication mechanism (including, without limitation, via email) at any time, and you consent to such process. Accordingly, you agree that Buildium may send any such communications to you between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m., or at any other time during the day.

13. RENTAL AGREEMENTS OR APPLICATIONS

Any rental agreements, including applications, that you enter into through the Sites (including but not limited to those agreements for which you electronically sign a lease or rental agreement) are for services provided by a Provider or other third party, and not Buildium. Although Buildium provides the Sites as a platform for Provider Services through which users may execute rental agreements and enter into binding contracts with third parties, Buildium is not involved in, is not liable for, and is not a party to any such transactions. The terms of such transactions are determined solely by you and the applicable third party with whom you are entering into said transaction, and not by Buildium. You will address any issues or concerns with such agreements exclusively with the applicable third party. Buildium shall not be involved in any issues relating to such agreements except where the issue is solely attributable to a malfunction or error occurring on the Sites or in connection with the Buildium Services. If you use the electronic signature functionality made available through the Sites, you acknowledge and agree that you have carefully reviewed any corresponding disclosures relating to such use and will not electronically execute any such documents with the required consent. You will rely on your own legal counsel to determine the sufficiency and enforceability of your electronic signature, and that Buildium makes no warranty or other representation with respect to the sufficiency of your electronic signature under any applicable laws or regulations.

14. RENTERS’ INSURANCE OR OTHER OFFERINGS

Buildium may change the Buildium Services that it offers through the Sites at any time, or the Provider Services that are made accessible through the Sites. Such changes may include adding additional offerings, including additional functionality, or reducing the same. For example, Renters’ insurance may be offered, as either a Buildium Service or a Provider Service, as further denoted on the Sites.

15. INTERACTIVE AREAS

Buildium may provide areas of the Sites that allow for User interaction, including bulletin boards, chat areas, forums, blogs, instant messaging, frequently asked questions, or other message and communications features (the “Interactive Areas”) for posting user feedback, comments, messages or other input (“Comments”).

Buildium has no obligation to monitor or protect such Comments. Buildium recommends that you do not post or otherwise disseminate any confidential, sensitive or personally identifiable information in the Interactive Areas. Additionally, you agree to post only Comments that are proper, lawful, and related to the particular discussion or the Interactive Area itself.

Buildium further reserves the right to terminate your access to the Sites or to any Interactive Area at any time without notice for any reason whatsoever. Buildium does not endorse or control the Comments or information found in any Interactive Area and, therefore, Buildium specifically disclaims any liability with regard to the Interactive Areas and any actions resulting from your participation in them.

These remedies are in addition to any other remedies Buildium may have at law or in equity.

19. DISCLAIMERS; NO WARRANTIES

THE SITES ARE MADE AVAILABLE “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE,” AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. BUILDIUM, AND ITS SUPPLIERS, LICENSORS AND PARTNERS, DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.

20. INDEMNIFICATION; HOLD HARMLESS

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Buildium (and its affiliated companies, contractors, employees, director, officers, agents, suppliers, licensors and partners) harmless from and against any and all claims, suits, actions, losses, costs, damages, and any other liabilities, including attorneys’ fees, brought by a third party arising out of or related to (i) your use or misuse of the Sites; (ii) any violation of the rights of any other person or entity by you; or (iii) any breach or violation by you of this Agreement.

IN NO EVENT SHALL BUILDIUM (OR ITS AFFILIATES, CONTRACTORS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, THIRD-PARTY PARTNERS, LICENSORS OR SUPPLIERS) BE LIABLE TO YOU IN THE AGGREGATE FOR ANY DAMAGES, LOSSES AND CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION NEGLIGENCE), WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE) IN EXCESS OF FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS ($50).

25. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AGREEMENT—ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

In consideration for the mutual promises to arbitrate Claims (defined below), for your access to and use of the Sites and Buildium Services provided by Buildium, and for other valuable consideration, you agree to the specific provisions set forth in this section (the “Dispute Resolution Agreement”). In doing so, you acknowledge that this is a legally binding agreement between you and Buildium, as defined below:

  • a.As the term is used in this Dispute Resolution Agreement, “Buildium” refers to Buildium LLC and its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, agents, officers, directors, shareholders, predecessors, successors and assigns.
  • b.As the term is used in this Dispute Resolution Agreement, “Claim(s)” refer to all claims and controversies, whether based on past, present, or future events, between you and Buildium arising out of, or pertaining in any way to the Services (including, without limitation, your access to and use of the Services). The Claims include, without limitation: i.Those that, in the absence of this Dispute Resolution Agreement, would have been heard in a court of competent jurisdiction under applicable state or federal law; ii.Claims under any legal or equitable theory of liability, including claims for breach of any contract or covenant, whether express or implied, common law claims, tort claims, statutory claims, defamation claims, and state and federal statutory claims under any provision of law regulating the Internet and access to and use of smart device technology; and iii.Disputes relating to the formation, interpretation, applicability, scope or enforceability of these Services Portal Terms.
  • c.AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE CLAIMS: YOU AND BUILDIUM AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL CLAIMS SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY IN BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN LITIGATION IN COURT. YOU AND BUILDIUM FURTHER AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIMS RELATING TO THE FORMATION, INTERPRETATION, APPLICABILITY, SCOPE, OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DECIDED BY THE ARBITRATOR, NOT A COURT. THE ARBITRATOR, AND NOT ANY FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL COURT OR AGENCY, SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE AUTHORITY TO RESOLVE ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE FORMATION, INTERPRETATION, APPLICABILITY, SCOPE, OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING CLAIMS THAT THIS AGREEMENT IS VOID OR VOIDABLE.

YOU AND BUILDIUM ALSO EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION IN COURT OR TO PARTICIPATE OR OBTAIN BENEFITS IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION SOMEONE ELSE BRINGS IN COURT. You and Buildium acknowledge that this class action waiver is integral to this Dispute Resolution Agreement. If a court or arbitrator determines that this class action waiver is invalid or unenforceable, you and Buildium agree that the Dispute Resolution Agreement will not apply, and any Claim shall be resolved in court. That is, you and Buildium agree that this class action waiver cannot be severed from this Dispute Resolution Agreement.

SOW Services Terms and Conditions
SOW Services Terms and Conditions
SOW Services Terms and Conditions

These SOW Services Terms and Conditions are subject to and governed by the (i) RealPage Master Agreement, including the Product Center Use Agreement terms, (ii) Products and Services Master Agreement, or (iii) RealPage One Master Agreement executed between RealPage and Client (as appropriate, the “Master Agreement”). These Terms and Conditions apply to any services provided by RealPage pursuant to an SOW and/or Order Form executed by RealPage and Client (the “SOW Services”). Capitalized terms used in these Terms and Conditions shall have the meanings assigned in the Master Agreement unless otherwise defined in these Terms and Conditions. References in these Terms and Conditions to “RealPage” mean the RealPage Party that provides the applicable SOW Services. RealPage reserves the right to update the terms of these Terms and Conditions from time to time without notice to Client. RealPage recommends that Client review these Terms and Conditions on this website from time to time. Client’s continued access to and use of the SOW Services shall be deemed to constitute acceptance of any updated terms. The most current version of these Terms and Conditions supersedes all previous versions.

1. Assumptions

Each SOW or Order Form will set forth in reasonable detail the mutually agreed upon SOW Services to be provided by RealPage—including, without limitation, the scope, Fees, and any applicable deliverables. The performance of the SOW Services is based on the following assumptions:

1.1. RealPage may reasonably rely upon any routine instructions, authorizations, approvals or other information provided by Client from time-to-time corresponding to the parties’ performance with respect to the SOW Services.

1.2. Client will cooperate with RealPage and provide to RealPage such reasonable assistance, resources, access, information, instructions, authorizations and other input necessary to coordinate the parties’ performance with respect to the SOW Services.

1.3. Client will be responsible for its contractual relationships with third parties and will ensure that such third parties cooperate with RealPage as necessary.

1.4. Client will commit, and make available, personnel who are appropriate for and capable of performing Client’s responsibilities during the course of any SOW Services and will commit the necessary management involvement to support the SOW Services.

1.5. Client will designate a Project Manager to work directly with RealPage personnel and ensure timely delivery of Client’s deliverables.

1.6. Client will perform any tasks assigned to it in an SOW, and will respond to RealPage’s questions and issues raised to Client in a comprehensive and timely manner.

1.7. If the SOW Services require Client to provide data to RealPage, then Client will provide such data in standard formats as reasonably requested by RealPage.

1.8. Client will timely notify RealPage of any significant business event or circumstance that may impact RealPage’s ability to deliver the SOW Services.

1.9. Client will ensure that the SOW Services, as contemplated in an SOW, meet Client’s business requirements and comply with all laws, regulations and policies applicable to Client’s business.

2. Pricing and Billing

2.1. Any changes to the scope of SOW Services, staffing, or assumptions, may impact the estimated Fees and expenses. The scope of SOW Services and cost estimates contained in an SOW or Order Form are stated in good faith. Any change in scope or estimated Fees will be discussed and documented in a written change order (or other instrument signed by authorized signatories of RealPage and Client) which must be approved by Client before RealPage will be obligated to perform the related work.

2.2. Client will be invoiced for Fees set forth on Order Forms and any Change Orders specifically approved in writing. Unless otherwise specified in an SOW or Order Form, the invoicing and payment terms of the Master Agreement will govern.

2.3. Client will be billed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, as applicable, airfare, mileage, parking, transportation, lodging, meals and other incidental expenses) incurred each month in delivering the SOW Services. Expenses incurred as a result of weather delays and/or mechanical issues must also be reimbursed by Client. In the event an on-site Services engagement is cancelled by Client after travel and/or lodging has been booked, Client agrees to pay all applicable cancellation and/or change fees

2.4. In the event of termination, Client will pay RealPage for all SOW Services rendered and expenses incurred on or prior to the date of termination.

2.5. Client will pay any tax (and related interest and penalties) imposed on Client under applicable law relating to Client’s access to or use of the SOW Services.

2.6. The amount of time required to complete the SOW Services is dependent in part upon work to be performed by Client’s personnel, the accuracy of the assumptions outlined in Section 1, and other variables not under RealPage’s control.

3. Warranty

RealPage warrants, solely to Client, that it will perform the SOW Services in a good and workmanlike manner. As Client’s sole remedy and RealPage’s sole obligation for breach of such warranty, RealPage will re-perform (at no additional cost to Client) any portion of the SOW Services that is not in compliance with this warranty—so long as Client notifies RealPage of such failure in writing within a reasonable time (not to exceed 30 days) after the applicable SOW Services were performed. Except as set forth in this Section 3, RealPage does not make any warranty, express or implied, to Client or any third party with respect to any SOW Services or the results obtained from any SOW Services, including without limitation any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

4. Limitations

4.1. Any inaccuracies of the assumptions set forth in Section 1 may cause changes to the corresponding SOW schedule, Fees, expenses, deliverables, and level of effort required, and may otherwise impact the delivery of SOW Services under such SOW.

4.2. RealPage will not be responsible for any failure to perform SOW Services to the extent such failure is due to the inaccuracy of any assumption in Section 1.

4.3. RealPage is not a law firm or tax expert and does not offer or provide legal advice, tax advice, or tax preparation (as that term is defined by the Internal Revenue Code or otherwise) services. Any SOW Services provided by RealPage are not, nor are they intended to constitute, legal advice, tax advice or tax preparation services. Client agrees to separately consult with a qualified legal or tax professional for any legal or tax advice, or tax preparation services.

4.4. REALPAGE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES) FOR ANY MATTER RELATED TO OR ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOW SERVICES, EVEN IF NOTIFIED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

4.5. THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF REALPAGE FOR ANY MATTER RELATED TO OR ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOW SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF FEES PAID BY CLIENT TO REALPAGE FOR THE SOW SERVICES ON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY WILL APPLY EVEN IF THE LIMITED REMEDIES HEREIN FAIL OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
