By submitting Information and Material and in order for Yardi to provide you with the Services, you hereby consent to Yardi’s use and sharing of your Information and Material as described in the applicable CondoCafe Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by this reference.  The CondoCafe Privacy Policy can be accessed by clicking on the “Privacy Policy” link located on webpages throughout the Site.  In the event of a conflict between the applicable Privacy Policy and these Terms, the Privacy Policy shall take precedence.  In addition, you hereby represent and warrant that your Information and Materials: (a) do not and will not, directly or indirectly, violate, infringe or breach any duty toward or rights of any person or entity, including without limitation any Fair Housing, copyright, trademark, service mark, trade secret, other intellectual property, publicity or privacy right; (b) are not fraudulent, misleading, hateful, tortious, defamatory, slanderous, libelous, abusive, violent, threatening, profane, vulgar or obscene; (c) do not harass others, promote bigotry, racism, hatred or harm against any individual or group, promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, sexual orientation or age, or otherwise interfere with another party’s use of the Site or the Services; (d) do not promote illegal or harmful activities; and (e) are not illegal, unlawful or contrary to the international, national, federal, state, provincial, or local laws or regulations applicable to the User Materials where created, displayed or accessed.

7.3       Communications. Although Yardi provides a platform through the Site and the Services through which Users may communicate with various other users, property managers, owners, advertisers, or other persons or entities (collectively, a “third-party”) (the “communications”), Yardi 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 Yardi. Yardi is only responsible for the content of information issued directly by Yardi. 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 Yardi. Yardi 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.

7.4       Payments. Except as expressly provided below, any payments you submit through the Site, are for services provided by a property manager, owner or a party other than Yardi. Yardi is not involved in, is not liable for, and is not a party to those transactions even though Yardi provides a platform through the Site and the Services through which you may submit payments to various third parties and Yardi may receive a portion of such payments made through the Site. 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 that is imposed by Yardi or other third-party, 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.

7.5       Credit Cards. The terms and conditions of the CondoCafe Credit Card Policy are incorporated herein by reference and apply to the processing of your credit card payment.  In the event of a conflict between these Terms and those in the CondoCafe Credit Card Policy, the terms of the CondoCafe Credit Card Policy shall take precedence.

8.         YARDI’S RIGHTS. You acknowledge that Yardi has the right to investigate and prosecute violations of these Terms, including intellectual property, publicity and privacy rights infringement and Site security issues, to the fullest extent of the law. Yardi may involve and cooperate with law enforcement authorities in prosecuting users who violate these Terms. You acknowledge that Yardi has no obligation to monitor your access to or use of the Site or the  Services, but has the right to do so for the purpose of operating the Site, to ensure your compliance with these Terms or to comply with applicable law or the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency or other governmental body.

Yardi is only responsible for the content of information issued directly by Yardi. 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 Yardi. Yardi 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.

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 that is imposed by Yardi or other third-party, 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.

7.5       Credit Cards. The terms and conditions of the CondoCafe Credit Card Policy are incorporated herein by reference and apply to the processing of your credit card payment.  In the event of a conflict between these Terms and those in the CondoCafe Credit Card Policy, the terms of the CondoCafe Credit Card Policy shall take precedence.

20.       GENERAL.

20.1     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 Yardi shall, irrespective of any choice of laws rules, be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the province of Ontario, Canada.  You and Yardi hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of courts located in the County of Santa Barbara (California) 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 Yardi 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.

20.2     Assignment. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Yardi, which may be granted or withheld by Yardi in its sole discretion.  Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section will be null and void and of no force or effect.  Yardi may assign this Agreement freely at any time without notice.  Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of each party’s permitted successors and assigns.

20.3     Waiver. The failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision shall not affect Yardi’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.

20.4     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.

20.5     Entire Agreement. These Terms, the terms incorporated herein, and any other terms agreed to in writing by the parties or by way of your use of the Site or the Services shall constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and Yardi regarding this subject matter, and shall supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous representations or understandings relating to this subject matter.

20.6     Time Limitation. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the Terms or use of the Site must be filed within 1 year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
