No licenses or rights are granted to you by implication or otherwise under any intellectual property rights owned or controlled by Maxable or its licensors, except for the licenses and rights expressly granted in these Terms.

3. Application License.

If you access the Services through a mobile application or any other software application (“Application”), then subject to and conditioned on your compliance with these Terms, Maxable hereby grants you, and you accept, a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to download and install a copy of the Application on a single mobile device or computer that you own or control and run such copy of the Application solely for your own personal, non-commercial use to access the Services. If any mobile Application is downloaded by you from the iTunes App Store (each, an “iOS Mobile App”), your use of such iOS Mobile App is further subject to your compliance in all material respects with the terms and conditions of the Usage Rules set forth in the iTunes App Store Terms of Service. These Terms are between you and Maxable only, and not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”) or any other app store provider, and Apple is not responsible for iOS Mobile Apps and the contents thereof; however, Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms with respect to iOS Mobile Apps.

Account Registration

If you register and create an account directly via the Site (“Maxable Account”), we will create your Maxable Account for your use of the Services based upon your personal information. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and Content during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current, and complete. Maxable reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Maxable Account in our sole discretion. You are responsible for safeguarding your password. You agree that you will not disclose your password to any third party and that you will take sole responsibility for any activities or actions under your Maxable Account, whether or not you have authorized such activities or actions. You will immediately notify Maxable of any unauthorized use of your Maxable Account.

Disclaim of ADU Services Liability

Maxable is not a provider of ADU Services. You understand and agree that Maxable is not a Pro, builder, architect or any other type of ADU service provider. While Maxable may vet and recommend a Pro for your ADU, Maxable has no direct control over the conduct of such parties. Accordingly, Maxable is not responsible for any liability related to any Services, and is not responsible where the Homeowner, Pro, or third party service providers have violated any terms of their respective agreements with other Users or Maxable. By using the Services, you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of Users or third parties will be limited to a claim against the particular Users or other third parties who caused the harm and you agree not to attempt to impose liability on, or seek any legal remedy from Maxable with respect to actions or omissions of such third parties, including those arising from ADU Services or the Services.

Engagements

When you, as a Homeowner, choose to enter into a transaction for the performance of any ADU Services (“Engagement”), you agree and understand that you are subject to any terms, conditions, rules and restrictions associated with such ADU Services, including the applicable fees and payment terms, imposed by the Pro. You agree to pay for the total fees for any ADU Services:

• Service Fees
• Payment. Maxable may collect service fees from Pros in consideration for providing the Services to both Homeowners and Pro. It is solely up to the applicable Pro and Homeowner to determine the fees and payment terms for the ADU Services, and Maxable will not be involved in such negotiations and have no liability with regard to such fees and payment terms. Except as otherwise provided herein, all fees for the Services are non-refundable.
• Taxes. All fees for the Services exclude any and all taxes and similar fees now in force, enacted or imposed in the future on the transaction, delivery of the Services, including any sales, use or value added taxes, goods and services tax, consumption tax, customs duties or similar charges, but excluding withholding taxes and taxes solely based on Maxable’s net income, and Pros shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, duties and charges, and any related penalties and interest arising from the payment of such amounts (collectively, “Taxes”). If Pro is legally required to withhold any amounts to be paid to Maxable, Pro will deduct such Taxes from the amount otherwise owed, pay the tax to the appropriate taxing authority, and provide to Maxable on a timely basis properly executed certificates, receipts or other documentation as evidence of such Tax payment to the taxing authority, sufficient to permit Maxable to establish its right to a credit for such taxes against Maxable’s income tax liability. Pro shall provide Maxable with such assistance as Maxable shall reasonably request in connection with any application by Maxable to qualify for the benefit of a reduced rate of withholding taxation under the terms of any applicable income tax treaty. Pros and Homeowners are solely liable and responsible for determining your obligations to report, collect and remit Taxes associated with providing and receiving the ADU Services.

User Conduct

All Users understand and agree that you are solely responsible for compliance with any and all laws, rules and governmental regulations that may apply to your use of the Services. In connection with your use of our Services, you will not (and will not advocate, encourage, or assist any third party to):

– use, reproduce, modify, adapt, create derivative works from, sublicense, publicly perform, publicly display, distribute, sell, lease, rent, make, have made, assign, pledge, transfer or otherwise grant rights to the Services or any Application, except as expressly permitted under these Terms;

– when acting as a Pro, recruit or otherwise solicit any Homeowner or other User to join third party services or websites that are competitive to Maxable, without Maxable’s prior written approval;

– use the Services to find a Homeowner or Pro and then complete a booking of a ADU Service transaction independent of the Services in order to circumvent the obligation to pay any fees related to Maxable’s provision of the Services;

– post, upload, publish, submit or transmit any User Content that: (i) infringes, misappropriates or violates a third party’s patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, moral rights or other intellectual property rights, or rights of publicity or privacy; (ii) violates, or encourages any conduct that would violate, any applicable law or regulation or would give rise to civil liability; (iii) is fraudulent, false, misleading or deceptive; (iv) is defamatory, obscene, pornographic, vulgar or offensive; (v) promotes discrimination, bigotry, racism, hatred, harassment or harm against any individual or group; (vi) is violent or threatening or promotes violence or actions that are threatening to any other person; or (vii) promotes illegal or harmful activities or substances;

– attempt to decipher, translate, decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer any of the software used to provide the Services; or otherwise attempt to derive trade secrets, know how, or the source code, architectural framework, or data records, within or associated with the Services.

Maxable will have the right to investigate and prosecute violations of any of the above to the fullest extent of the law. Maxable’s failure to enforce any of these restrictions or guidelines shall not act as a waiver for any future enforcement, will not be considered a breach of these Terms by Maxable, and does not create a private right of action for any other party. Maxable reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Content that Maxable, at its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms or otherwise harmful to the Services.

Privacy

See Maxable’s Privacy Policy at https://www.Maxable.com/privacy-policy/ for information and notices concerning Maxable’s collection and use of your personal information. All Users must respect the rights and privacy of all other Users. Homeowners will disclose to Pros, all devices and other items, including smart phones, that are located at the Property and that may be used to monitor, record, or survey Pros, whether or not such devices are enabled to actively monitor, record or survey. Likewise, Pros may not leave any such devices or items in or around any Property to monitor, record, or survey the Homeowners. Any violation of these restrictions may result in the violator being banned from the Services and reported to the appropriate authorities, in accordance with applicable law.

Maxable reserves all rights in the Services and Applications not expressly granted by these Terms. The Services (including the Content) are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws of the United States and foreign countries.

Maxable does not claim any ownership rights in any such User Content and nothing in these Terms will be deemed to restrict any rights that you may have to use and exploit any such User Content. You represent and warrant that: (i) you either are the sole and exclusive owner of all User Content that you make available through the Services, or you have all rights, licenses, consents and releases that are necessary to grant to Maxable the rights in such User Content, as contemplated under these Terms; and (ii) neither the User Content nor your posting, uploading, publication, submission or transmittal of the User Content or Maxable’s use of the User Content (or any portion thereof) on, through or by means of the Services will infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party’s patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, moral rights or other proprietary or intellectual property rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, duty of confidentiality, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation.

2. Responsibility for Content. Despite the foregoing, Maxable has no duty to review any User Content for any purpose, including but not limited to, for accuracy, legality or non-infringement, and Maxable is not responsible for any User Content, although Maxable reserves the right in its sole discretion to pre-screen, refuse or remove any User Content from the Services at any time and without notice. You acknowledge and agree that all Content is the sole responsibility of the person or entity from whom such Content originated. This means that you, and not Maxable, are entirely responsible for all Content that you upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available through the Services, and other users of the Services, and not Maxable, are similarly responsible for all other User Content they upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available through the Services.

You agree to release, defend, indemnify, and hold Maxable and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and their officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with (i) your access to or use of the Application or Services, including the Site and Content, or your violation of these Terms; (ii) your User Content; (iii) your interaction with any other User, (iv) your Engagement of ADU Services, (v) your creation of or information provided in a Request, or (vi) the use, performance, or results of ADU Services, including, but not limited to any injuries, losses, or damages (compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential, or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of the ADU Services.

Entire Agreement

• Generally. These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Maxable and you regarding the Services, Applications and any Engagements or Request for ADU made via the Services, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Maxable and you regarding the Services. These Terms supersede all prior and contemporaneous oral or written negotiations and agreements between you and Maxable with respect to such subject matter.

• Conflicts. Certain areas of the Site or portions of the Services may have different terms and conditions posted or may require you to agree with and accept additional terms and conditions. If there is a conflict between these Terms and terms and conditions posted for a specific area of the Site or portion of the Services, the latter terms and conditions will take precedence with respect to your use of or access to those Sites and Services.

• Modification. Maxable reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify the Services and these Terms, including fees, at any time and without prior notice. If we modify these Terms, we will post the modification on the Site or provide you with notice of the modification. By continuing to access or use the Services after we have posted a modification or have provided you with notice of a modification, you are indicating that you agree to be bound by the modified Terms. If the modified Terms are not acceptable to you, your only recourse is to cease using the Services.

Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Maxable’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect, and Maxable may immediately terminate these Terms and your access to the Services as a result. Maxable may assign or transfer these Terms, at its sole discretion, without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, and their permitted successors and assigns.

• Notices

Any notices or other communications permitted or required hereunder, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be in writing and given by Maxable (i) via email at (in each case to the address that you provide) or (ii) by posting to the Site or via the Application. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted. Notice to Maxable may be sent to: feedback@Maxable.com.

• Controlling Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California and the United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. The parties agree that neither the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, nor the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) shall apply to these Terms, regardless of the states in which the parties do business or are incorporated.

• Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

ALL CLAIMS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES SHALL BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT, EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY ASSERT CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT (DEFINED FOR THE PURPOSES OF THESE TERMS AS A COURT OF LIMITED JURISDICTION THAT MAY ONLY HEAR CLAIMS NOT EXCEEDING $5,000) IF YOUR CLAIMS ARE WITHIN THE COURT’S JURISDICTION. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED.

The arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its then-applicable Commercial Arbitration Rules or, as appropriate, its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The AAA’s rules are available at http://www.adr.org/. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees shall be governed by the AAA’s rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language by a single independent and neutral arbitrator. For any hearing conducted in person as part of the arbitration, you agree that such hearing shall be conducted in Los Angeles, California or, if the Consumer Arbitration Rules apply, another location reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances, as determined by the arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding. Judgment on the arbitral award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

WE EACH AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES SHALL BE RESOLVED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR OTHER SIMILAR PROCESS (INCLUDING CLASS ARBITRATION). IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND AGREE THAT SUCH CLAIM SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA. YOU HEREBY SUBMIT TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION ON THE GROUNDS OF VENUE, FORUM NON-CONVENIENS OR ANY SIMILAR GROUNDS WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH CLAIM.

If Maxable implements any material change to this Section, such change shall not apply to any such claim for which you provided written notice to Maxable before the implementation of the change.

• Right to Preliminary and Injunctive Relief

Despite any other provision herein, each party agrees that money damages would be an inadequate remedy in the event of a breach or threatened breach of the provisions in these Terms protecting such party’s intellectual property or such party’s confidential information, and that in the event of such a breach or threat, such party, in addition to any other remedies to which it is entitled, is entitled to such preliminary or injunctive relief (including an order prohibiting the other party from taking actions in breach of such provisions), without the need for posting bond, as well as specific performance as may be appropriate to preserve all of such party’s rights.

• General

The failure of Maxable to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. If for any reason an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. These Terms may not be amended by you except in a writing executed by you and an authorized representative of Maxable. Except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms. For the purposes of these Terms, the words “such as,” “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Any prevention of or delay in performance by Maxable hereunder due to labor disputes, acts of god, failure of the Internet, governmental restrictions, enemy or hostile governmental action, fire or other casualty or other causes beyond its reasonable control shall excuse the performance of its obligations for a period equal to the duration of any such prevention or delay.

Maxable will retain your data as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy and for a commercially reasonable time thereafter for backup, archival, fraud prevention, or detection or audit purposes, or as otherwise required by law.

Maxable takes technological and organizational measures to protect the information you provide through the Services against loss, theft, and unauthorized access, use, disclosure or modification.

We will make any legally required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted electronically stored personal information to you via email or conspicuous posting on the Services in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, insofar as consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system.
