6.3      Communications. Although we provide a platform through the Site and the Services through which third-parties may communicate, Company is not involved in those third-party communications and is not responsible or liable under any circumstances for the content of any third-party communications, or for any absence of communications by a third-party. The contents of such third-party communications are determined solely by the third-party responsible for the communications, and not Company. We are only responsible for the content of information issued directly by us. You acknowledge and agree that you will address any issues or concerns about third-party communications with the responsible third-party by contacting said third-party directly and not Company. Company shall not become involved in any matters pertaining to third-party communications except where the issue is solely attributable to a malfunction or error occurring on the Site or in connection with the Services.

6.4      Renter Screening. As part of the Services, Users may be permitted to submit information through the Site for the purpose of conducting a User background check or screening on behalf of a property manager or owner (a “Screening”). Information that you submit through the Site 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 Additional 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 Additional Requirements applicable to the Screening or as otherwise required by law. Yardi shall not become involved in Screening related issues except where the issue is solely attributable to a malfunction or error occurring on the Site or in connection with the Services or as otherwise specified in the Additional Requirements applicable to the Screening or as otherwise required by law.

6.5      Payments. Except as expressly provided below, any payments you submit through the Site including rental deposits, rental payments, or any other services or transactions, are for services provided by a property manager, owner or a party other than Yardi. The total payment amounts required for those transactions are determined solely by you and any other party with whom you are entering into an agreement, and not by Yardi. You acknowledge that you will address any discrepancies, issues or concerns with such payments by contacting the other party directly, rather than Yardi. Yardi shall not be involved in such issues except where the issue is solely attributable to a malfunction or error occurring on the Site or in connection with the Services. However, Users may take advantage of certain Services that have a charge associated with them such as screening services, lease execution fees, and the like, that is imposed by Yardi or other third-parties, which may or may not be a subsidiary or affiliate of Yardi. Yardi or such other company may collect these fees directly from Users as provided by the Site or the Services. You acknowledge these fees are subject to change.

Services-specific terms may set out further terms applying to such payments (including in relation 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.

By providing your card or bank information, you are representing that you are authorized to use this card or bank account for payments for rental deposits, rental payments, or any other services or transactions for services provided by a property manager, property owner or a party other than Yardi.  If you are making a one-time payment, your card or bank information will not be stored after completion of the transaction, but any other personal information provided in connection with the transaction will be stored.  If you are enrolling in recurring payments, you authorize Yardi to store your card or bank information to process your recurring payments. You are responsible for keeping your card or bank information up to date. If your card or bank information changes, you agree to promptly update your information. Yardi will continue to store your card or bank information until you delete your information or you cancel recurring payments.  For more information about how we store and use your card, bank or other personal information, please see our Privacy Policy.

6.6      Electronic Signatures.  If you choose to use the electronic signature execution functionality of RENTCafé, you understand, acknowledge and agree that you have carefully reviewed the disclosure relating to use of your electronic signature to execute documents and will not execute such documents with your electronic signature without providing your consent to use your electronic signature. You agree that you will rely on your own legal counsel to determine the sufficiency of the electronic signature execution of the documents and their enforceability and that Yardi makes no warranty or other representation with respect to the sufficiency of the electronic signature execution of the documents under applicable international, national, federal, state, provincial or local laws or regulations.

6.7      IDENTITY VERIFICATION SERVICES. You acknowledge that by using identity verification services, you give your express written consent to, if applicable: (i) send and receive text messages associated with the identity verification services, including text messages to and from third-parties (including but not limited to Mitek Systems, Inc. as the provider of document verification services); and (ii) have your “selfie” image used in the document and identity verification process. By providing a “selfie” image or an image of your identification documents, you agree that the images may be scanned and compared to your identification documents for authentication purposes and that you have read and understand our Privacy Policy and Mitek Systems, Inc’s Privacy Policy, available at: https://www.miteksystems.com/privacy-policy.

19.      GENERAL.

19.1        Governing Law. For all legal proceedings arising out of use of the Site and/or relating to the Terms, these Terms and the relationship between you and Company shall, irrespective of any choice of laws rules, be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State in which the property is located. You and Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of courts located in the County in which the property is located or the court of competent jurisdiction closest thereto if no court of competent jurisdiction resides therein, and the parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and expressly waive any right they may otherwise have to cause any such action or proceeding to be brought or tried elsewhere. You and Company irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that you may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any proceeding brought in any such court or any claim that a legal proceeding commenced in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of each party’s permitted successors and assigns.

19.3        Waiver. The failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision shall not affect Company’s right to exercise or enforce such right or provision at any time thereafter, nor shall a waiver of any breach or default of these Terms constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself.

19.4        Severability. If any portion of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in such provision, and, notwithstanding such finding, the remaining provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect.
