Without limiting any of the foregoing, we may adjust your Plan at any time to reflect the actual total number of Managed Rental Units.

During the term of an applicable Plan, we grant to you a limited, nonexclusive license (i) to access and use the Site and the Services and (ii) to use any documentation provided to you by us in connection with the Services and Products, in each case for the periods and quantities purchased under the applicable Plan.
-
This license is limited to you, and you may not resell it, assign it, sublicense it, lease it or otherwise make it available to any third party. This license is also limited to the quantity of rental units included in your Plan.
-
The Services may include one or more application programing interfaces (“API(s)”). We may set and enforce limits on your use of the API(s) (e.g., limiting the number of API requests that you may make or the number of users you may serve), in our sole discretion. You agree to, and will not attempt to circumvent, such limitations documented with each API, as applicable. YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY MONITOR USE OF THE APIS TO ENSURE QUALITY, IMPROVE OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, AND VERIFY YOUR COMPLIANCE WITH THESE CUSTOMER TERMS. You will not intentionally interfere with this monitoring. You may also have the ability to integrate your third-party property management software with the Services. If you elect to do so, you acknowledge that data from such property management software may be shared with us (e.g., listing data, company data, data regarding the number of Managed Rental Units, occupant data, owner data, etc.). You represent and warrant that you have obtained all necessary consents and permissions required under applicable law to provide such data, and any other data you make available to us in connection with the Services (collectively, “Customer Data”).
-
You may not use any of the Products, Services or the Site to develop a product or service that competes with any of the foregoing.
-
- Smart Lock and Lockbox Products.
-
Placing Orders. The prices and descriptions of the Products may be revised by us at any time and do not constitute an offer to purchase a Product. All Products are subject to availability and all Orders are subject to our acceptance. An Order will be deemed accepted by us when we accept your payment and dispatch your Order ("Acceptance"). Any email acknowledgement of your Order does not constitute our Acceptance of your Order. We reserve the right at all times to decline to process or accept any Order received from or through the Services at our absolute discretion. Payment in full, without set-off, counterclaim or withholding of any kind, is required prior to our Acceptance. We will charge your chosen payment method before or around dispatch of the applicable Products. We are not responsible for any billing errors unless you notify us of such billing error within ten (10) calendar days from the date of Acceptance. In the event we confirm, in our sole discretion, that such billing error is attributable solely to us, we will cancel your Order and/or refund the prior overpayment that you may have made for the applicable Product, as appropriate.
-
Product Delivery and Risk. Any delivery timelines provided to you are non-binding and for estimation purposes only. We will use reasonable efforts to adhere to such delivery timelines, but we shall not be liable to you or any third party for any delay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the risk of loss or damage to Products passes to you on the earlier of: (i) delivery to the address indicated in the applicable Order; or (ii) when placed in your possession or that of any carrier designated by you. Further, without limiting any other rights or remedies available to us, we reserve the right to: (1) effectuate delivery by any means we consider appropriate, at your expense; and/or (2) charge you for any costs incurred as a result of your rejection or failure to accept delivery, including without limitation any storage cost.
-
Product Descriptions. We attempt to be as accurate as possible when describing the Products and Services. However, the information contained on the Site is for general information purposes only, and we do not warrant that any Product or Service descriptions or other content on the Site or Services are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. If you purchase a Product through the Site, and you believe such Product is not accurately described on the Site, your sole remedy is to return the Product in accordance with our return policy.
-
Cancellation and Refunds. ALL ORDERS ARE FINAL AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CANCEL AN ORDER AND/OR RECEIVE A REFUND OF PAYMENT EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN OUR RETURNS POLICY. You acknowledge and agree that in the event that we agree, in our sole discretion, to grant you a refund with respect to your Order, such refund shall not include any cross border or other fees that credit card companies may charge for the processing of any payment. For the avoidance of doubt, we reserve the right to cancel your Order for any reason.
-
- Customer Support and Service Level.
-
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services available 99.9% of the time, measured monthly, excluding holidays and weekends and scheduled maintenance. Services and Products may be temporarily unavailable for scheduled maintenance or for unscheduled emergency maintenance, either by us or by third-party providers, or because of other causes beyond our reasonable control, but we will use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice in writing or by e-mail of any scheduled service disruption. If you request maintenance, any uptime or downtime calculation will exclude periods affected by such maintenance. Further, any downtime resulting from outages of third-party connections or utilities or other reasons beyond our control will also be excluded from any such calculation. Your sole and exclusive remedy, and our entire liability, in connection with the availability of Services will be that for each period of downtime lasting longer than four hours, we will credit you 5% of non-Product fees for each period of 30 or more consecutive minutes of downtime; provided that no more than one such credit will accrue per day. Downtime shall begin to accrue as soon as you recognize that downtime is taking place and notify us in writing, and continues until the availability of the Services is restored. In order to receive such downtime credit, you must notify us in writing within 24 hours from the time of such downtime, and failure to provide such notice will forfeit the right to receive downtime credit. Such credits may not be redeemed for cash and shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the equivalent of a total of one (1) week’s worth of fees payable by you for the Services (but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any fees payable for Products) in any given one (1) calendar month period. We will only apply a credit to the month in which the incident occurred. Our blocking of data communications or other aspect of the Services in accordance with our policies will not be deemed to be a failure to provide adequate service levels.
-
We reserve the right to refuse registration of or cancel passwords we deem inappropriate or insufficient.
-
We will provide customer support through online support ticket requests on weekdays during the hours of 9:00 am through 5:00 pm Eastern Time, with the exclusion of company holidays.
-
Customer may initiate a support ticket by in-app chat, by emailing support@tenantturner.com. Support contact information is subject to change from time to time as we may change support service vendors.
-
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to all support tickets within one (1) business day.
-

Even when disclosure is permitted, each party agrees to limit access to and disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information to its employees on a “need to know” basis only. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may disclose the other party’s Confidential Information pursuant to applicable law or regulation or compulsion of proper judicial or other legal process; provided, however, that the disclosing party shall provide prompt notice of the same prior to such required disclosure such that the other party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy to safeguard, restrict and/or limit the disclosure of such Confidential Information.
-
Exclusions. Information shall not be considered “Confidential Information” hereunder to the extent, but only to the extent that, such information (i) is or becomes publicly available through no fault, default or breach of or by the receiving party, (ii) is or was rightfully acquired by the receiving party from an independent third party without restriction or obligation of confidentiality and without breach of any agreement or obligation or (iii) if such information is or was independently developed by the receiving party without use of or reference to Confidential Information of the other party.
-
Recipients; Equitable Relief. Each party shall, in advance, by agreement, instruction or otherwise, ensure that each individual who obtains or is in a position to obtain Confidential Information of the other party, understands and has agreed to comply with the obligations in this Section 8. Further, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of either party’s obligations in this Section 8, the other party shall suffer immediate and irreparable harm for which money damages may be difficult to calculate and/or provide inadequate compensation. Accordingly, either party shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief to enforce compliance with the provisions of this Section 8; provided, however, that no specification herein of any particular legal or equitable remedy shall be deemed or construed to prohibit either party from seeking or obtaining any other remedy under these Customer Terms, at law or in equity.

If for any reason the dispute is not resolved satisfactorily within thirty (30) days after our receipt of your written notice, any further dispute resolution will occur according to the provisions below. Engaging in this informal dispute resolution process is a requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing a formal dispute resolution proceeding, such as an arbitration or small claims court proceeding.
-
- Arbitration Agreement & Waiver of Certain Rights.
-
Except as set forth below, you and Tenant Turner agree that we will resolve any controversies, claims, counterclaims, or other disputes between you and us or you and a third-party agent of ours (each a “Claim”) through binding and final arbitration, instead of through court proceedings, in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA Rules”). This arbitration agreement applies to any existing or future Claims that you have not individually filed in a court of law prior to the date you agreed to these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. You and Tenant Turner hereby waive any right to a jury trial of any Claim. The arbitration will be heard and determined by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision in any such arbitration will be final and binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and Tenant Turner agree that the arbitration proceedings will be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including, without limitation, any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged and any testimony or other oral submissions and awards) will not be disclosed beyond the arbitration proceedings, except as may lawfully be required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration, by applicable disclosure rules and regulations of securities regulatory authorities or other governmental agencies, or as specifically permitted by state law. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this arbitration agreement. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have exclusive authority to determine the existence, scope, and validity of the arbitration agreement and the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim, including, without limitation, whether any conditions precedent to the commencement of an arbitration have been completely satisfied and any objections with respect to any of the foregoing.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send us an individual letter signed by you requesting arbitration and describing your claim at 4820 Lake Brook Dr, Suite 125, Glen Allen, VA 23060, Attn: James Barrett. This letter must be sent at least five (5) days before you initiate an arbitration proceeding against us.
If you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, we will pay as much of the administrative costs and arbitrator’s fees required for the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the cost of the arbitration from being prohibitive. In the final award, the arbitrator may apportion the costs of arbitration and the compensation of the arbitrator among the parties in such amounts as the arbitrator deems appropriate.
This arbitration agreement does not preclude you or Tenant Turner from seeking action by federal, state, or local government agencies. You and Tenant Turner also have the right to bring qualifying claims in small claims court or transfer qualifying claims to small claims court. Either party may elect that a Claim be filed exclusively in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction by providing notice to the other party. In the event such a Claim has already been filed in arbitration, the party who has filed that Claim will, within ten (10) days of receiving such a notice, withdraw their Claim from arbitration. The parties will then proceed with the Claim exclusively in small claims court. In addition, you and we retain the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for provisional relief, including pre-arbitral attachments or preliminary injunctions, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with these Customer Terms, nor a waiver of the right to have disputes submitted to arbitration as provided in these Customer Terms.
Neither you nor we may act as a class representative or private attorney general, nor participate as a member of a class of claimants, with respect to any Claim. You may not bring Claims in arbitration on a class, consolidated or representative basis. The arbitrator can decide only your and/or our individual Claims. The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated without prior written consent of the parties. The arbitrator may award in the arbitration the same damages or other relief available under applicable law, including injunctive and declaratory relief, as if the action were brought in court on an individual basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing or herein, the arbitrator may not issue a “public injunction” and any such “public injunction” may be awarded only by a federal or state court. If either party seeks a “public injunction,” all other claims and prayers for relief must be adjudicated in arbitration first and any prayer or claim for a “public injunction” in federal or state court stayed until the arbitration is completed, after which the federal or state court can adjudicate the party’s claim or prayer for “public injunctive relief.” In doing so, the federal or state court is bound under principles of claim or issue preclusion by the decision of the arbitrator.
If any provision of this Section is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then that specific provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, but the remainder of this Section shall continue in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision of this Section of the Customer Terms will be effective or enforceable unless recorded in a writing signed by the party waiving such a right or requirement. Such a waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of these Customer Terms. This Section of the Customer Terms will survive the termination of your relationship with us.
THIS SECTION LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIM, THE RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN AAA RULES, AND THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN REMEDIES AND FORMS OF RELIEF. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
