THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDES A DISPUTE RESOLUTION CLAUSE UNDER WHICH CERTAIN CLAIMS WILL BE RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION OUT OF COURT WITHOUT A JURY. PLEASE READ THE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY.
Real Estate Logistics for You Co DBA Rely (“Rely”, “we” or “us”) operates this website and any related smartphone or mobile application (collectively, the “Website” or the “Site”) and the Rely online real estate marketplace, including other services, offered through the Website (the “Services”). These terms and conditions are entered into by and between you and Rely. The following terms and conditions, together with any documents expressly incorporated by reference (collectively, the “Agreement”), govern your access to and use of the Website and the Services, whether as a guest or a registered user.
Please read this Agreement carefully before you start to use the Website. By using the Website or the Services, or by clicking to accept or agree to this Agreement when this option is made available to you, you agree to comply with and be bound by this Agreement, our Privacy Policy, found at [privacypolicy.relyestate.com] incorporated herein by reference (the "Privacy Policy"), and such other policies and procedures as may be incorporated herein under Section 8 of this Agreement. If the individual clicking to accept or agree to this Agreement is doing so on behalf of an entity and registers such entity with this Website, then you (the individual) represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind such entity and enter into this Agreement on its behalf, and all further references to "you" shall be to such entity. If you disagree with this Agreement or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Website or the Services.
The Website and the Services are offered and available to users who are 18 years of age or older. By using the Website or the Services, you, the user, represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with Rely and meet all of the eligibility requirements set forth herein. You must meet these requirements to access or use the Website or the Services. Each of Rely's service clients may be subject to one or more separate written agreements with Rely or with each other (each, a "Service Agreement"). This Agreement applies only to use of the Website and the Services and in no way affects the terms and conditions of any Service Agreement.
The Site is an online platform for renters and Listing Parties looking for residential real estate rentals and potential tenants, which includes advertising, listing, and related services. Rely does not, and the Services are not intended to, provide financial services or real estate services to you. Rely does not (i) act as a property manager, broker, or agent; or (ii) broker, lease, or sublease or offer to broker, lease or sublease, or own any listings on the Rely platform. Rely is not a party to any agreement or transaction between Listing Parties and renters and does not execute any lease on behalf of renters or Listing Parties. The Site facilitates certain services provided by third parties, including, without limitation, background screening and payment collection and processing. Rely assumes no responsibility for any result or consequence related directly or indirectly to any action or inaction you take based on the Services or any other information available through or in connection with the Services unless explicitly provided in the Agreement. The features of the Services have a limited term and do not apply to all properties listed on Rely or in all circumstances.
This version of this Agreement became effective on January 30, 2025 and amends, restates, and replaces any version effective before such date. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time, concerning your use of the Website and Services following amendment. Notification of any amendment will be posted on the Website and will be effective immediately. You are under an obligation to review the current version of this Agreement and other Rely policies each time before using the Website or the Services. All amendments are effective immediately when we post them and apply to all access to and use of the Website and the Services thereafter. Your use of the Website or the Services following any amendment of this Agreement will signify your assent to and acceptance of its revised terms.
To subscribe for certain Services and obtain access to password-protected areas of the Website, you must establish a Rely account by providing us with current, complete, and accurate information as prompted by the online enrollment form and by selecting a password, the confidentiality of which shall be your responsibility. You may not use anyone else’s Rely account in connection with your use of the Services, or permit anyone else to use the Services or to access password-protected areas of the Website using your Rely account. You agree to notify Rely immediately of any actual or suspected unauthorized use of your Rely account, or any other breach of security. Certain Services may be subject to fees charged by Rely ("Fees") which will be identified at the point of purchase of such Services. Additional functionality and services may be offered or provided by us from time to time and these will be described on the Website. Services requiring Fees that have not been previously agreed upon will be notified to you, and your agreement to be responsible for any such additional Fees will be required before any such additional Fees will be applied. We will charge your credit card or debit card for applicable authorized Fees and you understand that, once charged, such Fees are non-refundable. If Rely does not receive payment from the issuer of the credit card associated with your Rely account, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand directly to Rely, and Rely further reserves the right to either suspend or terminate your Rely account and your access to the Services in such circumstances.
If you purchase a subscription plan or agree to make recurring automatic payments by enrolling in our “AutoPay” service, your subscription or automatic payments will continue in effect and renew on a recurring basis, monthly or annually, unless and until you cancel your subscription or AutoPay. If you provide a credit card or other payment method accepted by Rely and sign up for a monthly or annual paid subscription or enroll in AutoPay through the Website or the Services, you are expressly agreeing that Rely (or our designated third-party payment processor) is authorized to charge your payment method for the applicable subscription fee or other payment (plus any applicable taxes) on a recurring monthly or annual basis, as applicable. Rely reserves the right to change the terms of your subscription, including price, from time to time, effective as of the beginning of your next billing period following the date of the change. If Rely changes the subscription fee or other charges for your subscription, we will give you advance notice of these changes. If you purchase a subscription from us with promotional pricing, it will renew at our standard non-promotional pricing unless you cancel your subscription before renewal (as may also be explained in more detail at the time of your purchase at the promotion pricing).
You must cancel your subscription or AutoPay at least twenty-four (24) hours before your next renewal or payment date (as applicable) to avoid the next billing (subscription) period. You may cancel your subscription or AutoPay by logging into your Rely account and canceling it there (if such functionality is provided therein), or you may send us written notice of cancellation to billing@rely.com specifying that you would like to cancel your subscription for the Services or AutoPay (as applicable). If you cancel your subscription or AutoPay, the cancellation will be effective upon your receipt of confirmation from Rely of the cancellation.
The Website and the Services provide only a neutral online venue which property owners, landlord representatives, brokers, property managers, sub-lessors (collectively, “Listing Parties”) and potential renters can use to find and exchange information in connection with potential transactions involving real estate and, if they choose, to arrange transactions with one another. Rely does not counsel parties to real estate transactions, assess the qualifications of potential tenants, show properties, or negotiate rental or sales contracts on or through the Website or Services. No brokerage relationship or any agency or fiduciary relationship is intended to be or shall be deemed to have been created between Rely and any user of the Website or Services. Additionally, real estate transactions are complicated and are governed by various laws, practices, and customs. Users are advised to seek the help of a licensed real estate professional and/or a real estate attorney to help in the negotiation and completion of any real estate transaction.
You acknowledge that if you use the Services as a potential renter of a property listed on the Website, including by participating in any offer board for, or by submitting an electronic rental application about, a property listed on the Website, information that you submit through the Website (subject to the terms of the Privacy Policy) will be visible to Listing Parties associated with such property or tenant and used by them in assessing your qualifications as a tenant or landlord/property. If you decide to make an offer through the Services to rent any property or to offer a property to a tenant listed on the Website, you are solely responsible for determining the rental price that you want to offer to a Listing Party for such property. All users should be sure they are comfortable with the price they are offering and be aware of the following:
We have no control over the conduct of our users or the truth or accuracy of the information that users post on the Website. We do not endorse any persons who use or register for our Services, whether as tenants or Listing Parties. We make our best effort to verify the information that any user submits to the Website, but can not guarantee 100% its accuracy. We make no representations about properties advertised on the Website, about the Listing Parties responsible for presenting such properties, about the accuracy of information provided by such Listing Parties, or about the financial capabilities of, or the accuracy of information provided by, prospective renters.
The Website may from time to time provide the opportunity for you to order, purchase, or receive services from third parties, for example, for the conduct or results of credit, eviction, criminal record, or background checks. You acknowledge that we may, in our discretion, omit or exclude certain portions of these checks as may be required to comply with applicable law. You agree that Rely is not a principal, partner, joint venturer, or agent (other than for purposes of collection or refund of payments) in connection with the provision of such services and that you will look solely to such third parties in connection with the provision of such services.
Although we may offer features through the Services (including through third-party service providers we engage) which are intended to assist Listing Parties and potential renters to assess the appropriateness of and to negotiate and consummate transactions among themselves, Rely does not conduct any screening, background investigations or credit checks on any individual's character, creditworthiness or rental history, nor any investigations of the existence or actual state of any property listed. All aspects of transactions between users of the Website and Services, including the existence, quality, safety, or legality of the properties advertised, the truth or accuracy of listings, the ability of Listing Parties to rent a property or the ability of renters to pay for rental properties are solely the responsibility of each user and therefore users of the Website and the Services should perform all appropriate due diligence, including visiting in person any listed property, before entering into a rental contract or any other transaction concerning such property. We strongly discourage renters from sharing sensitive confidential information directly with purported Listing Parties, or wiring funds to such parties, based solely on electronic solicitations from such parties.
All of the foregoing acknowledgments and conditions apply with equal force to the Rely Select service, which, among other things, enables users to place a 24-hour hold on select properties (the “Select Service”) under our arrangements with the party or parties controlling such properties. If you submit a “holding deposit” and your rental application is accepted, but you decline to enter into a rental agreement, your holding deposit will be forfeited. If your application is declined or if there are unacceptable conditions, then upon request your holding deposit will be returned. If your application is accepted and you enter into a rental agreement, then you can either apply the holding deposit towards your security deposit or have it refunded upon payment of the security deposit. No brokerage relationship or any agency or fiduciary relationship is intended to be or shall be deemed to have been created between Rely and any user of the Select Service. Additionally, all users of the Select Service should be aware that placing a 24-hour hold on a desired property does not bind the Listing Party, and does not guarantee that you will be the only potential renter permitted to tour the property during such a 24-hour period.
When you use Rely Services, you are giving your prior express consent (“Opting In” or your “Opt-In”) to have Rely, property owners, and property managers, send SMS text messages to you consistent with these Terms and Conditions, including these terms. In particular, by Opting In, you agree with and accept the following terms:
When you provide Rely with your email address, you are giving Rely your express consent to send you emails, including marketing emails. You may opt out of receiving marketing emails at any time by clicking the opt-out link at the bottom of an email, or by contacting us at support@Rely.com and specifying that you would like to opt out of receiving marketing emails.

The Rely name, the Rely logo, and all related names, logos, product and service names, designs and slogans are registered or unregistered trademarks of Rely or its affiliates or licensors, and may not be used in connection with any service or products other than those provided by Rely, in any manner that is likely to cause confusion among customers, or in any manner that disparages or discredits Rely. Any use of such marks, or any others displayed on the Website, will insure solely to the benefit of their respective owners.
The Website and Services are the property of Rely. Except as expressly provided below in the case of User Data (as defined below), all the data, information, text, images (including video), designs, sound, music, marks, logos, compilations (meaning the collection, arrangement, and assembly of information) and other content on or made available through the Website, and any of the foregoing sent to you by e-mail or other means (collectively, the "Site Content") are owned by Rely, its licensors or other providers of such material and are protected by the United States and international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws. Rely authorizes you to use the Services and access, view, use, download, and print the Site Content subject to the following conditions:
Except as expressly permitted above, modification, reproduction, redistribution, republication, uploading, posting, transmitting, distributing, or otherwise exploiting in any way the Services, the Site Content, or any portion of the Site Content, is strictly prohibited without the prior written permission of Rely. If you violate any of the foregoing conditions, your right to use the Services and the Site Content will cease immediately and you must, at our option, return or destroy any copies of the materials you have made. No right, title, or interest in or to the Services or the Site Content is transferred to you, and all rights not expressly granted are reserved by Rely. Any use of the Services or the Site Content not expressly permitted by this Agreement is a breach of this Agreement and may violate copyright, trademark, and other laws. You agree, and represent, and warrant, that your use of the Services, the Website, and the Site Content, or any portion thereof, will be consistent with the foregoing license, covenants, and restrictions and will neither infringe nor violate the rights of any other party or breach any contract or legal duty to any other parties. In addition, you agree that you will comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances relating to the Services, the Website, the Site Content, or your use of them, and you will be solely responsible for your violations of any of them.
We may, in our discretion and without liability to you, with or without cause, with or without prior notice, and at any time:
You are solely responsible for all data that you upload or transmit with us through the Website or the Services (collectively, the “User Data”). Do not transmit User Data for which you do not have permission to send to Rely. You are responsible for creating backup copies of any User Data. By providing us with User Data you:
Rely is under no obligation to edit or control User Data that you transmit, and will not be in any way responsible or liable for User Data or your use of it. Subject to the rights granted to us in this Agreement, you own all of your User Data and any intellectual property rights associated with your User Data.
Rely reserves the right, in its sole discretion:
You acknowledge that Rely has no obligation to do any of these things.
Even after you remove information from your profile or delete your account, we may retain certain information to prevent identity theft and other misconduct even if deletion has been requested. Removed and deleted information may persist in backup copies indefinitely, but will not be available to others.
In connection with your use of the Website and Services, you agree that you shall comply with any written policies and procedures for the Website and Services set forth at https://www.relyestate.com/terms.
Listing Parties and Others Listing Property: You are entitled to list a property for rent ("Property") only if you own the Property, or if you are acting as the managing agent or broker for the Property, or if you have the right to sub-let a Property without violation of the head lease. You may list a Property for as long as the Property remains available for rent. You must promptly remove the Property listing from the Services if it is no longer available for rent. Rely may establish limits on the maximum time that listings will remain on the Services, and Rely shall have no liability or responsibility for the deletion or failure to store any listing. By listing a Property, you represent and warrant to Rely that:
Renters: You are entitled to provide through the Services electronic rental applications, or offers through offer boards, if any, to Listing Parties concerning Properties only if you meet any applicable tenant qualifications specified on the Services and you have the bona fide intention to rent the Property if it is offered to you. If your offer to a Listing Party through any such offer board is successful and your rental application, including any electronic rental application submitted through the Services, is approved by the Listing Party, you will be obligated to enter into a lease with such Listing Party and to pay in full any associated deposits to Rely and/or to such Listing Party. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for the payment of any deposit required and that no negotiation is possible concerning the terms of any rental agreement applicable to a property once the offer board in connection with such property has closed.
You understand that you may (i) submit electronic instructions through the Services to a Listing Party authorizing such Listing Party to obtain through services provided by one of our third-party service providers a copy of your consumer credit report and score, as well as reports of background investigations regarding your criminal and eviction history as each relates to your suitability as a tenant, or (ii) submit consent to a request from a Listing Party that it be authorized to so obtain such credit report and score or background investigation, and that in either case, such submission shall constitute written instructions from you for such Listing Party to so obtain a copy of your consumer credit report and score or the results of such background investigation from such provider. Use of each such third-party service may require that you accept additional terms of use. By submitting the instructions or consent described in the preceding sentence, you authorize such Listing Party, once it has obtained your credit report(s) and score(s) and/or the results of such background investigations, to retain, subject to provisions of applicable law, a copy of the same in its records along with the other information you submit to such Listing Party.
Our “Rent Payments” and “Pay Rent” services (collectively, the “Rent Payment Platform”) enable renters to make rent and other related payments to Listing Parties using functionality made available through the Website and Services. If you are a Listing Party or renter and use the Rent Payment Platform, you acknowledge and agree that the terms of this Section 9 shall apply to you. Rely uses Plaid and CardConnect, third-party payment platforms, to process renters’ credit and debit card transactions and make periodic payments to Listing Parties’ bank accounts that are connected via Plaid or CardConnect. If you are a Listing Party and use our Rent Payment Platform, you expressly understand and agree that Rely shall not be liable to you for our failure to collect fees from renters arising out of any failure of Plaid or CardConnect. The services provided by Plaid are subject to the Plaid Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Plaid Terms of Service (collectively, the “Plaid Services Agreement”) and the services provided by CardConnect are subject to their agreements and terms and conditions (collectively, the "CardConnect Services Agreement"). By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions or continuing to operate as a Listing Party, you agree to be bound by the Plaid Services Agreement and/or CardConnect Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Plaid or CardConnect from time to time. As a condition of Rely enabling payment processing services through Plaid or CardConnect, you agree to provide Rely accurate and complete information about you and your listings, and you authorize Rely to share with Plaid or CardConnect transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Plaid or CardConnect.
If you are a renter and use our Rent Payment Platform, you agree that if you use a credit or debit card to make a rental payment, Rely may charge you a processing fee in the amount specified at the time of the transaction, which fee will be added to the amount of such rental payment. If any payment you initiate using the Rent Payment Platform is not completed, the applicable Listing Party reserves the right to seek payment from you via or outside the Rent Payment Platform. In addition, your Listing Agent may permit you to opt-in for recurring automatic rent payments. Any authorization you provide to make recurring automatic payments using the Rent Payment Platform will remain in effect until canceled.
For any leases created, offered, or entered into using our Services, the materials provided do not, and are not intended to, constitute legal advice and no attorney-client privilege relationship between you and Rely has been created, nor do we make any representations as to the accuracy of any of the materials provided. All materials provided are for informational purposes only. You should contact your attorney or law firm to obtain advice concerning any particular legal matter, including the legality and interpretation of the materials. Local municipal, state, and federal laws, may limit or prohibit certain provisions of the lease or require additional provisions to be included in the lease (for example, those governing security deposits, occupancy limits, late fees, and other required disclosures). You acknowledge that Rely is not responsible, and you will not hold Rely responsible, for your use of these materials, and agree to indemnify and hold Rely harmless in the event of your use of such materials.
You must comply with any rules and policies about the use of the Website, Site Content, and Services that we publish from time to time. These rules and policies will be available on the Website. Certain features, pages, or content within the Website or Services may contain supplemental terms of use, to which you must agree to use the relevant features, pages, or content. You are permitted to use the Website, Site Content, and Services solely for the purposes contemplated in these Terms and Conditions, and not for any other purpose (including to promote any other product, website, software, or service).
You shall not:
You acknowledge that, to the extent you intend to use, or do in fact use, the Services for purposes of obtaining or using sensitive information concerning potential tenants, including but not limited to credit scores, eviction history, background checks, and criminal history, you are solely and exclusively responsible for complying with the laws of any relevant jurisdiction. You acknowledge that some laws, including local municipal and state laws, may limit or prohibit your ability to obtain, store, process, or use such information in any way, including in housing or rental decisions, regardless of whether you obtain that information directly or through a third party. You acknowledge that Rely is not responsible, and you will not hold Rely responsible, for informing you of whether, or to what extent, such laws may apply to your attempt to obtain or use such information, and agree to indemnify and hold Rely harmless in the event your attempt to obtain or use such information is not permitted in a relevant or applicable jurisdiction.
The Website may contain links to third-party websites or applications and our Services may include third-party content that we do not control, maintain, or endorse. You expressly acknowledge and agree that we are in no way responsible or liable for any such third-party websites or applications, including, without limitation, their content, policies, failures, promotions, products, services, actions, and/or any damages, losses, failures or problems caused by, related to or arising from those third parties or their sites or applications. YOUR CORRESPONDENCE AND BUSINESS DEALINGS WITH OTHERS FOUND ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE PAYMENT AND DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, AND ANY TERMS, CONDITIONS, WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH ANY SUCH DEALINGS, ARE SOLELY BETWEEN YOU AND THE THIRD PARTY. RELY ENCOURAGES YOU TO REVIEW ALL POLICIES, RULES, TERMS, AND REGULATIONS, INCLUDING THE PRIVACY POLICIES AND TERMS OF USE OF EACH AND ANY THIRD-PARTY SITE OR APPLICATION THAT YOU VISIT OR USE. RELY DISCLAIMS ANY HARM THAT MAY RESULT FROM YOUR CHOICE TO USE ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THIRD-PARTY SERVICES HOSTED ON THE SITE THAT MAY ASK TO ACCESS AND RETAIN YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION. YOU AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THIRD-PARTY SERVICES IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. Listing Parties using Rely acknowledge and agree that we provide a listing syndication service and that we will share such listings provided to us through Rely with third parties for display on third-party websites. Such sharing does not imply endorsement of, sponsorship of, or affiliation with such third parties or their websites, and we shall not be responsible for the conduct of such third parties concerning your listings nor any liabilities arising in connection with your listings displayed on such third party websites.
If you submit ideas or suggestions for the Website, Site Content, or Services ("Services Comments"), the Services Comments will be deemed, and will remain, the sole property of Rely. None of the Services Comments will be subject to any obligation of confidence on the part of Rely, and Rely will not be liable for any use or disclosure of any Services Comments. Without limiting the foregoing, Rely will be entitled to the unrestricted use and other exploitation of the Services Comments for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, by any means, by any media, without compensation to the provider, author, creator, or inventor of the Services Comments.
BY USING THE WEBSITE OR SERVICES, YOU AGREE THAT ANY LEGAL REMEDY OR LIABILITY YOU SEEK TO OBTAIN FOR ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS OF OTHER USERS WILL BE LIMITED TO A CLAIM AGAINST THE PARTICULAR USER OR USERS WHO CAUSED YOU HARM. IN THE EVENT THAT YOU HAVE A DISPUTE WITH ONE OR MORE OTHER USERS OF THE WEBSITE OR SERVICES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN USERS REGARDING ANY POTENTIAL OR CONSUMMATED TRANSACTION), AND IN CONSIDERATION OF OUR PROVISION OF THE SERVICES, YOU HEREBY AGREE TO RELEASE, REMISE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE Rely AND EACH OF ITS AGENTS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND ALL OTHER RELATED PERSONS OR ENTITIES FROM ANY AND ALL MANNER OF RIGHTS, CLAIMS, COMPLAINTS, DEMANDS, CAUSES OF ACTION, PROCEEDINGS, LIABLITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LEGAL FEES, COSTS, AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, WHICH NOW OR HEREAFTER ARISE FROM, RELATE TO, OR ARE CONNECTED WITH SUCH DISPUTE AND/OR YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE OR SERVICES. IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH SAYS: "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH, IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR." YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD Rely (AND EACH OF OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AND EMPLOYEES) HARMLESS FROM ANY THIRD-PARTY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, DAMAGE, LOSS, COST OR EXPENSE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR ALLEGING FACTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES THAT, IF TRUE, COULD CONSTITUTE YOUR BREACH OF ANY OF THESE TERMS. WE WILL CONTROL ANY SUCH DEFENSE AND RELATED SETTLEMENT AND YOU AGREE TO REASONABLY ASSIST US THEREWITH AT YOUR EXPENSE.
The Website and Services are operated by Rely from the United States, and Rely does not represent or warrant that use of the Website or Services is lawful in other jurisdictions. All matters arising from or relating to this Agreement, the Website or to the use and operation of the Services shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles. Without derogation of the obligation to arbitrate set forth in Section 18 below, you and we agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Francisco, California. The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act shall not apply to this Agreement. If you gain access to the Services from locations outside the United States, you will be responsible for compliance with all local laws of any such other location, and in no event will you use the Services or Site Content in violation of U.S. export laws or regulations.
All disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Website or the Services shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) then in effect (for information on the AAA and its rules, see www.adr.org.) and the further procedures set forth herein, except that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights. The arbitration shall be conducted in San Francisco, California unless the Arbitrator determines that that venue is not reasonably convenient to all parties, in which case the Arbitrator shall determine another venue that is. If the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to administer the arbitration, and the parties are unable to agree to a substitute, a substitute shall be appointed by the court. The Arbitrator shall have the authority to issue any and all remedies authorized by law. The right and obligation to arbitrate under this Section 18 shall extend to any claim by or against a party’s officer, director, employee, shareholder, affiliate, agent, or contractor. The arbitrator may render early or summary disposition of any or all issues of fact or law after the parties have had a reasonable opportunity to make submissions on those issues. The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 2 et seq. Notwithstanding any rules of the AAA to the contrary, any claims shall be adjudicated on an individual basis only, and YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING ANY CLAIM AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF A PROPOSED CLASS, ON AN AGGREGATED OR MASS BASIS, OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR TO CONSOLIDATE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES THERETO. Any award rendered by the Arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. In connection with any arbitration proceeding under this Agreement, unless the Arbitrator shall determine otherwise, each party shall bear its costs and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may at your option file an individual claim in any small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of its subject matter jurisdiction if such court has personal jurisdiction and the case remains in small claims court. Rely does not hereby waive any defense that such jurisdiction may be lacking in your state. Without derogation of the parties’ obligation to arbitrate as set forth herein, for any claims other than those in small claims court, jurisdiction for any court proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Website or the Services shall be vested exclusively in, and venue shall be laid in, the state or federal courts sitting San Francisco, California except that, following confirmation of an arbitration award in a state or federal court in San Francisco, California, a judgment arising therefrom may be executed in any court of competent jurisdiction.
No delay or omission by Rely in exercising any of its rights occurring upon any noncompliance or default by you for any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement will impair any such right or be construed to be a waiver thereof, and a waiver by Rely of any of the covenants, conditions or agreements to be performed by you will not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach thereof or of any other covenant, condition or agreement hereof contained. As used in this Agreement, "including" means "including but not limited to" If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will be reformed to be valid and enforceable while reflecting the intent of the parties to the greatest extent permitted by law. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between you and Rely regarding its subject matter, and supersedes all prior promises, agreements or representations, whether written or oral, regarding such subject matter. You shall not assign or transfer this Agreement or any right or obligation hereunder to any third party. You agree that the electronic text of this Agreement constitutes a writing and your assent to the terms and conditions hereof constitutes a "signing" for all purposes.
