These Terms are made up of two parts 1) General Terms of Service, and 2) Specific Additional Terms for Landlords, Real Estate Professionals and Property Managers.

SECTION 1: GENERAL TERMS OF SERVICE

RentSpree, Inc. (“RentSpree”, “We”, “Us” or “Our”) provides a platform where landlords, their representatives, real estate brokers, property managers, sub-lessors, renters and prospective renters can find and exchange information about rental properties and, if they choose, arrange transactions with one another (“Platform”).

DISPUTE RESOLUTION. PLEASE READ THIS PROVISION CAREFULLY. IT INCLUDES AN AGREEMENT TO MANDATORY ARBITRATION, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU AGREE TO SUBMIT ANY DISPUTE RELATED TO THESE TERMS AND YOUR USE OF THE RENTSPREE PLATFORM AND SERVICE TO BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN PROCEED IN COURT, UNLESS YOU HAVE OPTED OUT AS SET FORTH BELOW. THIS PROVISION ALSO INCLUDES A WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL AND PROHIBITION OF CLASS ACTIONS.   THE TERM “DISPUTE” REFERS TO ANY CLAIMS, CAUSES OF ACTION OR CONTROVERSIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE PLATFORM OR SERVICES.

Our goal is to resolve Disputes fairly and quickly. Accordingly, before submitting a claim for arbitration in accordance with this Dispute Resolution provision, you and we agree to try, for thirty (30) days, to resolve any Dispute informally. Any party wishing to bring a claim agrees to provide a notice of the Dispute to the other party, which will include the sender’s name, address and contact information, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested. The notice will be an individualized claim specific to the individual bringing the claim. Any notice to us must be sent to [email protected]. Any notice sent to you will be sent to the most recent email we have for you in our records. To minimize the cost and inconvenience to all parties, and to promote prompt resolution of Disputes, you and we agree that engaging in this initial dispute resolution process is a material term of these Terms and a requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing any arbitration or other legal proceeding. You and we agree to act in good faith to resolve the Dispute before commencing arbitration or other legal proceeding in accordance with this paragraph.

IF YOU AND RENTSPREE  CANNOT REACH AN AGREEMENT TO RESOLVE THE DISPUTE WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER SUCH NOTICE IS RECEIVED, THEN ANY DISPUTE WILL BE DETERMINED BY BINDING ARBITRATION IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA BEFORE A SINGLE ARBITRATOR. THE ARBITRATION WILL BE ADMINISTERED BY JUDICIAL ARBITRATION AND MEDIATION SERVICE, INC. (JAMS) PURSUANT TO ITS COMPREHENSIVE ARBITRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES, PROVIDED THAT THE JAMS STREAMLINED ARBITRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES WILL APPLY TO DISPUTES WHERE THE AMOUNT IN CONTROVERSY IS LESS THAN $50,000. JUDGMENT ON THE AWARD MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION. THIS SECTION WILL NOT PRECLUDE EITHER PARTY FROM SEEKING PROVISIONAL REMEDIES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INJUNCTIVE RELIEF) IN AID OF ARBITRATION FROM A COURT OF APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION. THE PARTIES WILL MAINTAIN THE CONFIDENTIAL NATURE OF THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING AND THE AWARD, INCLUDING THE HEARING, EXCEPT AS MAY BE NECESSARY TO PREPARE FOR OR CONDUCT THE ARBITRATION HEARING ON THE MERITS OR AS MAY BE NECESSARY IN CONNECTION WITH A COURT APPLICATION FOR A PRELIMINARY REMEDY, A JUDICIAL CHALLENGE TO AN AWARD OR ITS ENFORCEMENT OR UNLESS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY LAW OR JUDICIAL DECISION.  PAYMENT OF ALL FILING, ADMINISTRATION AND ARBITRATOR FEES WILL BE GOVERNED BY JAMS’ RULES.

If either party contends that the amount of a claim in a Dispute is within the jurisdiction of the small claims court (or an equivalent court), it may instruct the arbitrator to administratively close the arbitration case and direct that the claim be filed, if at all, in small claims court.  Upon such a request by a party, the arbitrator will administratively close the arbitration proceeding. Any dispute about whether a claim qualifies for small claims court will be resolved by that court, not by an arbitrator. In the event of any such dispute, the arbitration proceeding will remain closed unless and until a decision by the small claims court that it lacks jurisdiction over the action.  Only in the event that the small claims court determines that it lacks jurisdiction over the Dispute may the arbitrator reopen the arbitration case.

The parties will bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the Dispute was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). If you or RentSpree need to invoke the authority of a court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration, then the party that obtains an order compelling arbitration in such action will have the right to collect from the other party its reasonable costs, necessary disbursements and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in securing an order compelling arbitration. The prevailing party in any court action relating to whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration is entitled to recover their reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

Batch Arbitration. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and RentSpree agree that if there are one hundred (100) or more individual Disputes of a substantially similar nature filed against RentSpree by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms or organizations, within a thirty (30) day period (or as soon as possible thereafter), JAMS will (a) administer the arbitration demands in batches of one hundred (100) Disputes per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than one hundred (100) Disputes left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining Disputes), (b) appoint one arbitrator for each batch, and (c) provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator and one final award (“Batch Arbitration”).

All parties agree that Disputes are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. To the extent the parties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing party will advise JAMS, and JAMS will appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (“Administrative Arbitrator”). In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly. RentSpree will pay the Administrative Arbitrator’s fees.

You and RentSree agree to cooperate in good faith with JAMS to implement the Batch Arbitration process including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of Disputes, as well as any steps to minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include (a) the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes, and (b) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the arbitration proceedings.

This Batch Arbitration provision will in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective and/or mass arbitration or action of any kind, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly set forth in this provision.

CLASS ACTION AND MASS ACTION  WAIVER AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER.  YOU AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.  UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WE AGREE OTHERWISE IN WRITING, AND EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE BATCH ARBITRATION SECTION ABOVE, THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION WILL PRECLUDE YOU FROM BRINGING ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, COORDINATED, CONSOLIDATED, MASS AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION AGAINST RENTSPREE, AND ALSO WILL PRECLUDE YOU FROM PARTICIPATING IN OR RECOVERING RELIEF IN ANY CURRENT OR FUTURE CLASS, COLLECTIVE, COORDINATED, CONSOLIDATED, MASS AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION BROUGHT AGAINST RENTSPREE BY SOMEONE ELSE. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE BATCH ARBITRATION SECTION ABOVE, 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. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE BATCH ARBITRATION PARAGRAPH ABOVE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) AVAILABLE IN AN INDIVIDUAL LAWSUIT ONLY.

IF A DISPUTE IS ARBITRATED, THE PARTIES WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO RESOLVE THE DISPUTE IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR A JURY. IF FOR ANY REASON A DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, ANY OTHER AGREEMENT YOU HAVE WITH RENTSPREE OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND US PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, YOU AND RENTSPREE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

30-DAY OPT-OUT RIGHT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, IF YOU ARE AN INDIVIDUAL CONSUMER USING THE PLATFORM OR SERVICES, YOU MAY OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION AND PURSUE YOUR DISPUTE IN COURT. TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION YOU MUST WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF YOUR FIRST USE OF THE PLATFORM OR SERVICES (THE “OPT-OUT DEADLINE”) EMAIL US AT [email protected] WITH THE SUBJECT LINE “ARBITRATION OPT-OUT”. ANY ARBITRATION OPT-OUT NOTICE RECEIVED AFTER THE OPT-OUT DEADLINE WILL BE INVALID AND YOU MUST PURSUE YOUR DISPUTE IN ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT. IF YOU DO NOT OPT OUT WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU FIRST USE THE PLATFORM OR SERVICE, THE ARBITRATION PROVISION IN THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION WILL BE PART OF ALL OTHER AGREEMENTS YOU HAVE WITH RENTSPREE NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.

SURVIVAL, CONFLICT, SEVERANCE. This Dispute Resolution section will survive the termination of any agreement you have with RentSpree and any bankruptcy. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Dispute Resolution section on the one hand, and an administrator’s rules or other agreement you have with RentSpree, on the other hand, this Dispute Resolution section will govern. If any part of this Dispute Resolution section is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then that specific part will be severed, and the rest of this Dispute Resolution section will continue in full force and effect, except that at either your or our election the entire Dispute Resolution section (other than this sentence) may be null and void with respect to any claim asserted on a class, representative or multiple-party basis that does not seek public injunctive relief if the Class and Mass Action Waiver is held to be invalid with respect to such claim and that determination becomes final after all appeals have been exhausted. If a court decides by means of a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, that the Class and Mass Action Waiver is invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), that particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or request for relief) will be severed from the arbitration and may be litigated in state or federal court. All other disputes will be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court.

Notice. RentSpree may give notice regarding operational aspects of the Platform or Services by means of a general notice on the Platform. Any other notice by you or RentSpree to the other hereunder will be by written communication sent by first class mail or reputable overnight delivery service and such notice will be deemed to have been given upon receipt (if sent by overnight delivery service), five (5) business days after mailing (if sent by first class mail).

Judicial Forum for Legal Disputes.  Unless you and RentSpree agree otherwise in writing, if you are not required to arbitrate a Dispute, you agree that any one or more Disputes that arise or may arise between you and RentSpree must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Los Angeles, California. You and RentSpree agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in Los Angeles, California, for the purpose of litigating all such Disputes.  In such a case you agree you may assert one or more Disputes against RentSpree only on an individual basis and not as a class member, class representative, private attorney general or any other consolidated basis.

Governing Law.  The laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, govern these Terms and any Dispute..

If you have any questions about any background screening report performed on you, please contact the landlord, real estate broker or property manager, or any of their representatives involved in your transaction, or the consumer reporting agency identified as the source of the background report.  If you believe that there is an inaccuracy in any background report about you, please contact the consumer reporting agency.
