To the extent that you post, upload, input, submit or otherwise transmit (collectively “Transmit” or “Transmitting,” as appropriate) Content on or through Sellfair, you agree to provide true, accurate and complete information, and to refrain from impersonating or falsely representing your affiliation with any person or entity.

We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any material, Content, opinion, recommendation or advice submitted by you or any third party. We have no obligation to post any Content you provide, and reserve the right to post our own versions of that Content (including, but not limited to, photos of properties or property descriptions) instead of yours at our sole discretion.
You assign us the right to pursue enforcement of copyright and other intellectual property claims against third parties that have, without authorization, and in violation of the Terms of Service, scraped, copied or distributed Content from the Services that has been provided to us by you and for which you have not granted such third parties a separate license to use.
By Transmitting Content to Sellfair, you grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to Sellfair an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, fully paid, worldwide license to use, copy, perform, display and distribute the Content, and to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, the Content, and to grant and authorize sublicenses (through multiple tiers) of the foregoing.

By making those requests, you authorize Sellfair to share your personal information with a real estate professional. When you make such a request, you are extending an express invitation for Sellfair, or another appropriate entity or person, to contact you.
Please read this section carefully – it may significantly affect your legal rights, including your right to file a lawsuit in court and to have a jury hear your claims.
By using the Services, you irrevocably agree: (a) to waive all rights to trial in a court before a judge or jury on any claim, action or dispute with us or relating in any way to your use of the Services or the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms of Service, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this agreement is void or voidable (“Claims”); (b) that all Claims will be determined exclusively by final and binding arbitration in Hillsborough County, Florida, before one arbitrator; and (c) that the arbitrator will not have the authority to consolidate the Claims of other users of the Services (“Users”) and will not have the authority to fashion a proceeding as a class or collective action, or to award relief to a group or class of Users in one arbitration proceeding.
The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those rules. Notwithstanding these rules, however, such proceeding shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, Hillsborough County. All parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and the award, including the hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Claims. However, nothing in this section shall prevent us from enforcing our intellectual property rights and/or remedy unfair competition, misappropriation of trade secrets, unauthorized access, fraud or computer fraud, and/or industrial espionage in court. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. In any arbitration arising out of or related to these Terms of Service, the arbitrator shall award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration. If the arbitrator determines a party to be a prevailing party under circumstances where the prevailing party won on some but not all of the claims and counterclaims, the arbitrator may award the prevailing party an appropriate percentage of the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration.
YOU AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ALL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE SERVICES IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” AND THAT WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE SERVICES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We make no representations or guarantees that the Services are compatible with your equipment or that the Services, or that any electronic communications sent by us or our affiliates, are error-free or will be free from loss, destruction, damage, interruption, corruption, attack, viruses, worms or other harmful, invasive or corrupted files, interference, hacking or other security intrusion, and we disclaim any liability relating thereto. You agree that we have the right to change the Content or technical specifications of any aspect of the Services at any time at our sole discretion. You further agree that such changes may result in your being unable to access the Services. We make no guarantees, representations or warranties that the Services or information available through the Services, or that the use of or result of the use of the Services, will be accurate, reliable, complete, current, uninterrupted or without errors. Any documents, pictures or other information available on the Services are for informational purposes only and may not represent the current condition of a property or the condition of the property at the time of sale. The posting of pictures on the Services does not constitute a guarantee that any items represented in the pictures will be present when a buyer takes possession of a property. You are encouraged to conduct your own due diligence and investigate all matters relating to any properties. It is recommended that you seek independent advice, including legal advice, to perform your due diligence and that you use good-faith efforts in determining that the content of all information provided to or obtained by you is accurate.
Some of the available content, services and information may include materials that belong to third parties. You acknowledge that we assume no responsibility for such content, services or information. The content of other websites, services, goods or advertisements that may be linked to or from the Services is not maintained or controlled by us. We do not: (a) make any warranty, express or implied, with respect to the use of the links provided on or to the Services; (b) guarantee the accuracy, completeness, usefulness or adequacy of any other websites, services or goods, that may be linked to or from the Services; or (c) make any endorsement of any other websites, services or goods that may be linked to or from the Services.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE, SHALL SELLFAIR, ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING FROM USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, INCLUDING THOSE CAUSED BY ANY FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE, ERROR, OMISSION, INTERRUPTION, DEFECT, DELAY IN OPERATION OF TRANSMISSION, COMPUTER VIRUS OR LINE FAILURE ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF SELLFAIR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. ANY SERVICES OR CONTENT MADE AVAILABLE OR OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF SELLFAIR, AND ALL OTHER USE OF SELLFAIR, IS DONE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS THAT RESULTS THEREFROM. APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY OR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS MAY OR MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES WILL NOT BE GREATER THAN THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO ACCESS THE SERVICES OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100), WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold Sellfair, our subsidiaries, affiliates, third-party vendors, directors, officers, employees and agents harmless, including costs, liabilities and legal fees, from any and all claims or demands made by any third party arising out of or relating to: (i) your access to or use of the Services; (ii) your violation of any third-party right, including, without limitation, any copyright, property or privacy right; (iii) the content you submit to the Services; or (iv) any breach by you or your affiliates, employees, agents and representatives of the Terms of Services. We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you agree to cooperate in such defense. You agree not to settle any matter in which you have indemnity obligations without our prior written consent. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action or proceeding upon becoming aware of it.
You release Sellfair, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from all liability related to any and all claims and demands you may assert against any third party arising out of the Services. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states, "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor."
If any part of the Terms of Service is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law, including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations contained herein, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision, and the remainder of the Terms of Service shall continue in effect. Unless otherwise specified herein (or in any other definitive written agreement between you and Sellfair), the Terms of Service constitutes the entire agreement between you and Sellfair with respect to the Services, and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written, between you and Sellfair with respect to the Services. A printed version of the Terms of Service and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to the Terms of Service to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.
