3. Use of Materials and Limitations on Advice.
The Landed Content on this Site is for information, education, and noncommercial purposes only. Although some of the Landed Content on the Site may relate to the purchase of real estate and/or use of financial products, the Site is not intended to, and does not, provide legal, tax, real estate, investment or insurance advice. Nothing on the Site should be construed as an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation for any property or financial product by Landed or any third party. Certain planning tools available on the Site may provide general education based on your input. You are solely responsible for determining whether any investment or related transaction is appropriate for you based on your personal investment objectives, financial circumstances and risk tolerance. You should consult your legal or tax professional regarding your specific situation.
It is important that you review in detail all the necessary documents before committing to purchase any property. If you have any questions regarding any of the seller disclosures or property inspection reports, or other documents related to any property, Landed recommends that you contact the relevant party to who provided the documents to clarify any of the items in question prior to making a financial commitment. Any opinion Landed offers to you regarding any property is based solely on the information supplied to Landed, and Landed takes no responsibility regarding its opinion on the state or value of any property.
Nothing on the Site shall be considered a solicitation to buy, or an offer to sell, a security or any other product or service, to any person in any jurisdiction where such offer, solicitation, purchase or sale would be unlawful under the laws of such jurisdiction. No agency relationship is formed pursuant to or in connection with a Landed transaction.
4. Consent to Communications.
By accepting these Terms of Use, you expressly consent to be contacted by Landed, our agents, representatives, affiliates, or anyone calling on our behalf for any and all purposes at any telephone number, or any physical, email, or electronic address you provide or at which you may be reached. You agree we may contact you in any way, including SMS messages (including text messages), calls using prerecorded messages or artificial voice, and calls and messages delivered using automatic telephone dialing systems (auto-dialer) or an automatic texting system. Automated messages may be played when the telephone is answered, whether by you or someone else. In the event that an agent or representative calls, he or she may also leave messages on your answering machine, voice mail, or send messages via text. You certify, warrant and represent that the telephone numbers that you have provided to us are your contact numbers. You represent that you are permitted to receive calls at each of the telephone numbers you have provided to us. You agree to promptly alert us whenever you stop using a particular telephone number. You agree that Landed and our agents, representatives, affiliates or anyone calling on our behalf may contact you on a recorded line. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing. LANDED AND OUR AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, AFFILIATES AND ANYONE CALLING ON OUR BEHALF MAY USE SUCH MEANS OF COMMUNICATION DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION EVEN IF YOU WILL INCUR COSTS TO RECEIVE SUCH PHONE MESSAGES, TEXT MESSAGES, E-MAILS OR OTHER MEANS.
5. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act/Uniform Electronic Transactions Act
The Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (“ESIGN”) and similar state laws, particularly the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (“UETA”), authorize the creation of legally binding and enforceable agreements utilizing electronic records and signatures. ESIGN and UETA require businesses that want to use electronic records or signatures in consumer transactions to obtain the consumer’s consent to receive information electronically. When a potential User registers on the Site, we obtain his, her or its consent to transact business electronically and maintain electronic records in compliance with ESIGN and UETA requirements.
Your use of electronic signatures to sign documents on the Site legally binds you in the same manner as if you had manually signed such documents. No certification authority or third party verification is necessary to validate any electronic signature and the lack of such certification or verification will not in any way affect the enforceability of such signatures or documents. The use of electronic versions of such documents fully satisfies any requirement that such documents be provided to you in writing. If you sign electronically, you represent that you have the ability to access and retain a record of such documents. You agree that you are responsible for understanding these documents and agree to conduct business by electronic means. You are obligated to review the Site periodically for changes and modifications and agree not to contest the admissibility or enforceability of the Site’s electronically stored copies of these documents or this Agreement in any proceeding arising out of these documents or this Agreement.
Although you consent to electronic delivery, you may elect to deliver communications by other means and such delivery shall not affect your consent. You may revoke consent to electronic delivery of communications and receive a paper version at your election. Landed will have a reasonable period to effect such a change and Landed may charge you a reasonable fee for sending such paper copies. If you elect to use electronic delivery, you agree and represent that you have a suitable computer with Internet access, an email address and the availability to download, save and/or print communications to retain a record of such communications. You agree that you are solely responsible for maintaining such equipment and services required for online access.
6. Intellectual Property.
License. Subject to your complete and ongoing compliance with this Agreement, Landed hereby grants you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, royalty-free and worldwide right and license to access and use the Site solely in strict compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and as permitted by the functionalities of the Site available to you.
Content. The content that Landed provides to you on the Site, including, without limitation, any text, graphics, software, interactive features, information or other materials, is protected by copyright or other intellectual property rights and owned by Landed or its licensors (collectively, the “Landed Content”). Moreover, Landed or its licensors own all design rights, database and compilation rights and other intellectual property rights in and to the Site, in each case whether registered or unregistered, and any related goodwill. We grant the operators of public search engines, permission to use spiders and application programming interfaces to copy non-password protected Landed Content from the Site for the purposes of creating publicly available, searchable indices of the materials, including caches or archives of such materials, and for traffic metrics per our robots.txt file and sitemap.xml file.
Marks. The Landed trademarks, service marks and logos (collectively, the “Landed Trademarks”) used and displayed on the Site are Landed’s registered and/or unregistered trademarks or service marks. Any other product and service names located on any part of the Site may be trademarks or service marks owned by third parties (collectively with the Landed Trademarks, the “Trademarks”). Except as otherwise permitted by law, you may not use the Trademarks to disparage Landed or the applicable third party, Landed or a third party’s products or services, or in any manner (using commercially reasonable judgment) that may damage any goodwill in the Trademarks. You may not use any Trademarks as part of a link to or from any website without Landed’s prior express written consent. All goodwill generated from the use of any Landed Trademark will inure solely to Landed’s benefit.
Restrictions. Landed hereby reserves all rights not expressly granted to you in this Section 6.d. Accordingly, nothing in this Agreement or on the Site will be construed as granting to you, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, any additional license rights in and to the Site or any Landed Content or Trademarks located or displayed on or within the Site.
7. Referral to Third-Party Services
Referrals and Lead Sales. Landed may connect you with a real estate professional or Partner Agent. You authorize us to make such referral or lead sale and acknowledge that we may be paid valuable consideration for facilitating such connection. You may be connected to a party that provides mortgage loan origination services, title and escrow services, or other settlement services. If any of these parties have an affiliated relationship with Landed, then Landed may receive a financial or other benefit from the referral between such affiliates.
Non-Affiliated Financial Products. If you choose to contact a non-affiliated bank, mortgage lender, financial institution, mortgage loan originator, loan broker, or other mortgage professional (“Third-Party Provider”) by filling out a contact request form or otherwise indicating your interest in contacting or being contacted by (including requests for mortgage rate quotes) on the Site, you authorize the Landed to provide the information you submit to the Third-Party Provider. If you include your name, contact information and other information in a request, your identity will no longer be anonymous to the Third-Party Provider. Your submission of information and any request for quotes through the Site is not an application for credit. In the case of non-affiliated financial products, Landed is only providing an administrative service to consumers and participating Third-Party Providers. Loan approval standards are established and maintained solely by individual Third-Party Providers. Decisions in any related non-affiliated transactions are made by participating Third-Party Providers and are not made by Landed. Landed is not responsible for the underwriting activities or credit decisions of any Third-Party Provider. Any non-binding quotes provided by Landed for Third-Party Providers’ financial products are not intended to be official Loan Estimates as defined in the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act or the Truth in Lending Act, or to otherwise serve as a disclosure of any specific loan terms or conditions under any state or federal law. Interest rates displayed through the Site are for informational purposes only and reflect non-binding quotes of the terms a Third-Party Provider might offer an applicant fitting a consumer’s anonymous profile. Actual interest rates may vary. You should rely on their own judgment in deciding which available loan product, terms, and Third-Party Provider best suit your needs and financial means. Except as outlined in this section, Landed: (i) is not a loan originator, loan processor or underwriter; (ii) does not aid or assist applicants in obtaining loans, soliciting applicants or Third-Party Providers for loans, or offer or negotiate terms of applications or loans; (iii) does not take mortgage applications, make loans or credit decisions, or prequalify or preapprove applicants for loans; (iv) is not an agent of either any consumer or any Third-Party Provider; (v) does not endorse, refer, or recommend any Third-Party Provider that pays Landed, or the products of any Third-Party Provider that pays Landed; (vi) is not responsible for any errors or delays caused by you or any Third-Party Provider in the loan process; and (vii) does not guarantee offer of, or acceptance into, any particular loan program or specific loan terms, conditions, or rates with any Third-Party Provider, or that any rates or terms will be the best available.

assist or permit any person in engaging in any of the activities described above.
9. Third-Party Sites.
The Site may contain links to third-party websites (“Third-Party Sites”). These links are provided only as a convenience to you. The inclusion of any link is not and does not imply an affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, approval, investigation, verification or monitoring by Landed of any information, materials, products, or services contained in or accessible through any Third-Party Site. In no event will Landed be responsible for the information contained on any Third-Party Sites or your use of or inability to use any Third-Party Sites. You acknowledge and agree that Landed is not liable or responsible, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or related to the use of or reliance on any content, goods, or services available through any Third-Party Site or resource. YOU AGREE THAT ACCESS AND USE OF THIRD-PARTY SITES, INCLUDING THE INFORMATION, MATERIAL, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES ON THIRD-PARTY SITES OR AVAILABLE THROUGH THIRD-PARTY SITES, IS SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK AND DISCRETION. Your access and use of the Third-Party Sites are governed by the terms of use and privacy policies of these Third-Party Sites. We strongly encourage you to carefully review the terms of use and privacy policies of any Third Party Sites from which you access through our Site.
10. Feedback.
While our own staff works to develop and evaluate our own product ideas and features, we pride ourselves on paying close attention to the interests, feedback, comments, and suggestions we receive from the User community. If you choose to contribute by sending Landed or our employees any ideas for, by way of example and not limitation, products, services, features, modifications, enhancements, content, refinements, technologies, promotions, strategies, product/feature names, or any related documentation, artwork, computer code, diagrams, or other materials (collectively “Feedback”), then regardless of what your accompanying communication may say, the following terms will apply, so that future misunderstandings can be avoided. Accordingly, by sending Feedback to Landed, you agree that:
Landed has no obligation to review, consider, or implement your Feedback, or to return to you all or part of any Feedback for any reason;
Feedback is provided on a non-confidential basis, and Landed is not under any obligation to keep any Feedback you send confidential or to refrain from using or disclosing it in any way; and
You irrevocably grant Landed perpetual and unlimited permission to reproduce, distribute, create derivative works of, modify, publicly perform (including on a through-to-the-audience basis), communicate to the public, make available, publicly display, and otherwise use and exploit the Feedback and derivatives thereof for any purpose throughout the universe and without restriction, free of charge, and without attribution of any kind, including by making, using, selling, offering for sale, importing, and promoting commercial products and services that incorporate or embody Feedback, whether in whole or in part, and whether as provided or as modified.
11. Dispute Resolution.
General. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Landed in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and Landed agree that any dispute arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement or your use of the Site will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement or your use of the Site, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of this Agreement. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND Landed ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AND THAT THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE SUBJECT TO AND GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT.
Exceptions. Notwithstanding Section 10.a above, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (i) bring an individual action in small claims court; (ii) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state or local agency if that action is available; (iii) seek injunctive relief in aid of arbitration from a court of competent jurisdiction; or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and Landed will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879 or by contacting Landed. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.
Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by U.S. Mail (“Notice”). Landed’s address for Notice is: Landed Management Company, LLC, 548 Market St, Suite 79600, San Francisco, California 94104 or by email at legal@landed.com Attn: Legal Department. The Notice must: (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, then you or Landed may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Landed must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor with a monetary award that exceeds the last written settlement amount offered by Landed prior to selection of an arbitrator, then Landed will pay you the highest of the following: (1) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (2) the last written settlement amount offered by Landed in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (3) $15,000.
Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with this Agreement, then Landed will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $15,000 or as set forth below, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in San Francisco, California, but if the claim is for $15,000 or less, then you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (i) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (ii) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (iii) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Landed for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. Each party agrees that such written decision, and information exchanged during arbitration, will be kept confidential except to the extent necessary to enforce or permit limited judicial review of the award. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
No Class Actions. YOU AND Landed AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Landed agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if Landed makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to Landed’s address for Notice, then you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Landed’s address for Notice, in which case this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected, will continue to govern any disputes between you and Landed.
Enforceability. If Section 10.f above is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 10 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 10 will be null and void.
12. Limitation of Liability and Disclaimer of Warranties.
THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION 12 APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

ACCORDINGLY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY RELEASE THE Landed PARTIES FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS AND DAMAGES (ACTUAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL) OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH SUCH DISPUTES.

Landed will provide notice to you of any such claim, suit or proceeding. Landed reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter which is subject to indemnification under this Section at your sole expense if Landed believes that you are unwilling or incapable of defending Landed’s interests. In such case, you agree to cooperate with any reasonable requests assisting Landed’s defense of such matter at your sole expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute a waiver by any User of any laws whose applicability is not permitted to be contractually waived.
