THIS AGREEMENT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS, AND ALSO LIMITS THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE.

1. Acceptance Triggered by Use.

This Terms of Service and Use Agreement (the “Agreement”) is between you and Instant Newco OS LLC (“OSI”), a Delaware corporation, and governs your access and use of this web site and the services therein (the “Site”). The Agreement is subject to change, and we will make those changes by posting the new Agreement on the Site and/or otherwise providing you notice of such changes (e.g., e-mail). Any change to this Agreement shall be effective on a prospective basis the date the new Agreement is posted on this Site. Your continued use of the Site will constitute your acceptance of any changes or revisions. By pressing ‘Send Inquiry’ or ‘Call’, you agree that OSI, real estate professionals, and other third-party service providers may call/text you about your inquiry, which may involve use of automated means and prerecorded/artificial voices. You don’t need to consent as a condition of buying any property, goods or services. Message/data rates may apply. OSI does not endorse any real estate professionals.

2. Text and Telephone Message Notification Service.

The Site assists in connecting tenants with real estate brokers and partners. Consequently, if you provide your contact information (including, but not limited to, a telephone number) in connection with your registration or use of the Services, you authorize OSI to provide your name and contact information and other identifying information to third parties in connection with the provision of certain Site services, including, but not limited to, providing your information to brokers, tenants and our third party service providers which enable phone and text communication services. By way of example and not limitation, if you are a broker, and a tenant inquires about you or your listings, you authorize OSI and its third party service providers to contact you via phone or text message to notify you that a tenant has inquired about you or your listing. Communications and notices to you may be documented, recorded or monitored for quality assurance and customer service purposes. In the event that you provide your phone number to OSI, you (1) represent and warrant that you are the subscriber for such phone number and may receive text and voice call messages from OSI, tenants, brokers or third parties that facilitate the sending of such phone or text messages and (2) consent to the receiving text and telephone messages from OSI, tenants, brokers or third parties that facilitate the sending of phone or text messages (and record and monitor the foregoing). If you no longer wish to receive messages as described in this paragraph, for text messages, you can reply with the text STOP in your text messaging client. Moreover, to stop text messages and phone communications in connection with the Site services, you can submit a request to [email protected]. If you no longer subscribe for the phone number you used to register for or use the Services, you agree to notify OSI via e-mail at [email protected] or use the online contact modification tools on the Site, if any.

 

By using a tool that allows for User Information to be transferred, you agree that OSI may transfer the applicable User Information or other information to the applicable third-parties, which are not under the control of OSI. If you submit a contact form or otherwise indicate your interest in contacting a Third-Party Provider, you may receive telemarketing calls from the Third-Party Provider using the contact information you provided. Third-Party Providers may keep your contact information and any other information received by the Third-Party Provider in processing a contact or other request form. OSI is not responsible for any damages or costs of any type arising out of or in any way connected with your dealings with these third parties.

 

By providing this information to OSI, or by submitting an inquiry, requesting more information, or using any tool on the OSI website, you are requesting, and you expressly consent to being contacted by us and by OSI and our Partners (including third-party service providers) via phone, fax, email, mail, text (SMS) messaging, or other reasonable means, at any of your contact numbers or addresses, even if you are listed on any federal, state, provincial or other applicable “Do Not Call” list.

3. Grant of Limited License.

The proprietary software, content, and materials underlying the Site (the “Materials”) are works protected under copyright and other intellectual property laws.

By way of further clarification, OSI may freely sublicense the rights that you grant it in this Section to a third party. To the extent necessary for OSI to exercise its rights under the foregoing license, you hereby grant OSI a perpetual, royalty-free and irrevocable license to exploit any personality, publicity, or privacy rights in and to the User Provided Content and in your likeness as contained therein. You also hereby grant each user of the Site a non-exclusive license to access your User Provided Content through the Sites, and to use, reproduce, distribute, display and perform such User Provided Content as permitted through the functionality of the Sites and under these Terms of Service.

D. In connection with User Provided Content, you further agree that you will not submit material that is copyrighted, protected by trade secret or otherwise subject to third party proprietary rights, including privacy, personality and publicity rights, unless you are the owner of such rights or have permission from their rightful owner to post the material and to grant OSI all of the license rights granted herein.

13. Legal Disputes – Arbitration.

 

You agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen or may arise between you and OSI relating in any way to or arising out of this or previous versions of the Agreement, your use of or access to the Site, or any services, applications, and tools, or any products or services sold or purchased through the Site (each a “Dispute”) will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Legal Disputes Section (the “Agreement to Arbitrate”).

 

Please read this Section carefully. It affects your rights and will have a substantial impact on how claims you and we have against each other are resolved.

 

14.1 Applicable Law. You agree that the laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern the Agreement and any Dispute.

 

14.2 Agreement to Arbitrate. You agree that any Disputes shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate.

 

14.3 Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. YOU AND OSI AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND OSI AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER OSI USERS.

 

14.4 Arbitration Procedures. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, any part of it, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of the Agreement to Arbitrate or Terms is void or voidable.

 

The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Commercial Disputes (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate.

 

If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, you or OSI may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and OSI, subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant. Attendance at an in-person hearing may be made by telephone by you and/or OSI, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.

 

The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of California, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different OSI users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same OSI user to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

 

14.5 Costs of Arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules, unless otherwise stated in this Agreement to Arbitrate.

 

14.6 Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 14.3 of this Agreement to Arbitrate (“Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief”), if an arbitrator or court decides that any part of this Agreement to Arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall still apply. If an arbitrator or court decides that any of the provisions in Section 14.3 of this Agreement to Arbitrate (“Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief”) is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall be null and void. The remainder of the Agreement and its Legal Disputes Section will continue to apply.

 

14.7 Judicial Forum for Legal Disputes. Unless you and we agree otherwise, in the event that the Agreement to Arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute, either as a result of your decision to opt-out of the Agreement to Arbitrate or as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, you agree that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and OSI must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in New York City, New York. You and OSI agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within New York City, New York for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.

 

14.8 Conflicts with Other Written Agreement; Exceptions. To the extent you have signed a written, wet or e-signature commercial agreement with OSI, the dispute resolution procedures in such agreement shall supersede the Dispute Resolution procedures herein, if applicable. Moreover, nothing in this Agreement prohibits OSI from seeking injunctive relief in federal or state court to the extent necessary to protect or enforce its intellectual property rights.

15. Miscellaneous.

Except for any agreements or policies explicitly referenced herein, this Agreement constitutes the complete and entire agreement between you and us as it pertains to the Site. We reserve all rights not granted in this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision will be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, and such decision will not affect the enforceability of such provision under other circumstances, or of the remaining provisions hereof under all circumstances. You must be 18 years or older to use the Site.

 

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, USA, AS THOSE LAWS APPLY TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND SOLELY PERFORMED THEREIN. YOU IRREVOCABLY CONSENT TO AND WAIVE ALL OBJECTION TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS AND ARBITRAL FORA LOCATED IN NEW YORK, USA. YOU AGREE TO NOT COMMENCE OR PROSECUTE ANY SUIT OR ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SITE EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE.

 

OSI may be a licensed real estate broker in certain jurisdictions but does not broker real estate transactions. OSI does not act as a real estate agent for you or any other user. OSI does not sell, buy, or negotiate the purchase, sale, or exchange of real property. Further, OSI does not lease or rent, offer to lease or rent, or negotiate the lease of real property or otherwise aid or assist in the lease of real property. The Site constitutes a software as a service whereby the Site facilitates the exchange of information between brokers and tenants.
