3. Customer Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as expressly permitted herein or otherwise set forth in a given Order, Customer shall not:

4. Fees and Payment. The following billing and payment terms apply to Customer’s use and license of the Products and Licensed Materials (for purposes of these billing and payment terms, the Products and Licensed Materials are collectively referred to as the “Products”). In the event of any conflict between these billing and payment terms and the terms of any Order, these billing and payment terms will govern unless expressly set forth in the given Order.
a. Fees and Charges.
i. Single Purchase: HouseCanary will charge Customer immediately for any single purchase, such as a single Individual Report.
ii. Monthly Subscription: HouseCanary will charge Customer monthly in advance for any Products licensed on a monthly subscription basis unless and until Customer or HouseCanary cancels/terminates the Product subscription. HouseCanary will charge Customer monthly in arrears for overage fees, if any.
iii. Annual Subscription: HouseCanary will charge Customer annually in advance for any Products licensed on an annual subscription basis unless and until Customer or HouseCanary cancels/terminates the Product subscription. HouseCanary will charge Customer monthly in arrears for overage fees, if any.
b. Charges are billed to the credit or debit card Customer registered with their Customer account (the “Account”). HouseCanary may, from time to time and at any time, change the amount of or basis for determining any fees or charges. Customer acknowledges that the amount billed each month may vary from month to month for various reasons, including due to overage fees, promotional offers, changes to Customer’s Product licenses or subscriptions and changes in taxes and fees, if any. Customer agrees to pay all amounts billed for the Products, as well as all taxes, fees, and other charges, if any, that are now or may in the future be assessed in connection with any of the Products that Customer accesses or uses, and any other charges due and owing to HouseCanary. HouseCanary may apply interest and late fees for any amounts paid following the date when due, and HouseCanary may terminate or suspend Customer’s Account for any failure to timely pay any amounts or maintain up-to-date payment method information within Customer’s Account. State and local taxes or reimbursement charges for gross earnings taxes in some states may apply.
c. Registration of Credit or Debit Card. If Customer does not already have an Account, Customer will be required to establish an Account to access certain elements of the Products. To access these certain elements of the Products, Customer will also be required to register a valid credit or debit card to process payments of the associated fees. When Customer registers a credit or debit card for a new Account, Customer authorizes HouseCanary to place a pending charge to the credit or debit card to verify Customer’s billing address and the validity of Customer’s credit or debit card, which pending charges are temporary and will not be converted into an actual charge to Customer. Pending charges, while pending, will, however, reduce the available amount of credit on Customer’s credit card or funds available to Customer’s debit card. Customer is solely responsible for any and all fees charged to Customer’s credit or debit card by the issuer, bank, or financial institution, including fees for membership, any overdraft or other insufficient funds, or for exceeding any applicable credit limit. Once Customer’s Account is authenticated, the credit or debit card that Customer registered with Customer’s Account will be charged for each transaction without having to reenter Customer’s credit or debit card information. Customer agrees that the issuer of any credit or debit card registered with Customer’s Account will accept these Terms as Customer’s authorization and pay all amounts billed in connection with use of Customer’s Account without HouseCanary submitting a signed receipt.
d. Update Credit or Debit Card. Customer agrees to provide HouseCanary with updated credit or debit card information upon request and any time the information Customer previously provided is no longer valid. Customer is solely responsible for maintaining and updating the credit or debit card information. Without limiting the applicability of any other provisions of these Terms, Customer acknowledges and agrees that neither HouseCanary nor any HouseCanary affiliated company will have any liability whatsoever for any non-sufficient funds or other charges incurred by Customer as a result of such attempts to charge, and/or place holds on, Customer’s credit card.
e. Billing Cycle. For Products licensed on a subscription basis, HouseCanary will automatically bill Customer each month on the calendar day corresponding to the date on which Customer first commenced payment for the subscription-based Products. Account fees for subscription-based Products and any overages are fully earned upon payment. If Customer’s subscription began on a day not contained in a given month, then HouseCanary may bill Customer on a day in the applicable month or such other day as HouseCanary deems appropriate (e.g., if Customer is regularly billed on the 31st, then HouseCanary may bill Customer on the 28th or 30th of the calendar months that do not have 31 days). Although HouseCanary endeavors to bill Customer as described in this paragraph, HouseCanary reserves the right to change the timing of its billing as necessary, from time to time, and at any time. HouseCanary may authorize Customer’s payment method in anticipation of Account or service-related charges. As used in these Terms, “billing” shall indicate a charge, debit, or other payment clearance, as applicable, against Customer’s registered credit or debit card information. For the purposes of this paragraph, “month” or “monthly” refers to Customer’s billing cycle.
f. No Returns, Credits or Refunds. CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT PAYMENTS ARE NONREFUNDABLE. HOUSECANARY IS NOT OBLIGATED, AND CUSTOMER IS NOT ENTITLED AND HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT, TO ANY CREDIT, REFUND, PRICE ADJUSTMENT OR ANY OTHER DISCOUNT, COMPENSATION OR RECOMPENSE FOR ANY PARTIALLY USED PRODUCTS (E.G., SUBSCRIPTIONS NOT USED OR TRANSACTIONAL PRODUCTS NOT DOWNLOADED OR FULLY VIEWED). Although not required or obligated, HouseCanary reserves the right to evaluate or elect to provide credits, refunds, price adjustments or other discounts, compensation or recompense, from time to time, and at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion; provided that any such elections to offer any such credits, refund, price adjustments or other discounts, compensation or recompense in one instance does not entitle Customer to the same or any such benefit in the future for similar or unrelated instances, nor does it create any obligation whatsoever for HouseCanary to offer such benefit to Customer or any other user in connection with any past, present, or future requests under any circumstance whatsoever. Any amounts refunded in the form of bill credits, cash payments or any other form shall be inclusive of all applicable taxes, fees and surcharges that were originally paid on such amounts. Credit amounts that do not represent a refund of, or a discount to, the price paid for any good or service will not result in the refund of any tax, fee, or surcharge previously paid.
g. Payment Processing. Customer authorizes HouseCanary to use outside payment processing agencies or other companies for purposes of paying any refund owed to Customer. Customer agrees that HouseCanary may determine in its sole and absolute discretion the form of any refund that HouseCanary issue to Customer under these Terms, and such form may include a credit on Customer’s next statement, a check, or a prepaid debit card.
h. Restarting Customer’s Products. If Customer does not make timely payment for the Products, HouseCanary may suspend, limit, or terminate Customer’s access to such Products, and in such event, HouseCanary will be immediately and forever wholly relieved from any and all of duties and obligations to Customer under these Terms. If Customer’s Account is suspended for non-payment, or for any other reason whatsoever, then HouseCanary may require that Customer pay, and Customer agrees to pay, any amount due (regardless of how long outstanding, and including all past due charges and all outstanding balances accrued through the date of such suspension) before HouseCanary reestablishes Customer’s access to any of its Products. HouseCanary is not obligated to reestablish Customer’s access to any of its Products. If the Products are suspended for non-payment, or for any other reason whatsoever, then Customer may no longer be eligible, even if Customer pays to reestablish Customer’s good standing, to receive any remaining credits or promotional pricing that Customer would have been eligible to receive had the Products not been suspended, limited, or terminated. Unless required by applicable law, deposits will not be held segregated from other funds and will not earn or accrue interest. Promotional pricing is valid only at the time of initial purchase of such promotional Product, and HouseCanary reserves the right to stop any promotion at any time for any reason whatsoever.
i. Maximum Overage Amount. For the HouseCanary Products, nonrecurring and usage-based charges generally billed in the billing cycle following the transaction include, but are not limited to, Individual Reports, data pulls and Appraisals, over and above Customer’s monthly limit. As long as payments are current, Customer will have a limit (up to a maximum of $250) per bill cycle on such one-time orders billed to Customer’s Account. This limit will vary based on creditworthiness or for other reasons.
j. Attorney’s Fees/Collections. If HouseCanary uses an attorney or a collection agency to collect any money Customer may owe, or to assert any other right that HouseCanary may have against Customer (e.g., any breach of any agreement Customer may have with HouseCanary or any of its affiliates), then Customer hereby agrees to pay the reasonable costs of such collection or other action. These costs may include the costs of a collection agency, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and court costs.
k. Billing Error. If Customer believes that Customer has been billed in error, Customer must contact HouseCanary’s Customer Service immediately, and in no event more than fifteen (15) days following the date Customer is billed. Failure to timely notify HouseCanary of any dispute will constitute Customer’s acceptance of the corresponding billed amounts. Customer must pay undisputed portions of any billing statement when due, or, without limitation to any other rights or remedies available to HouseCanary at law, in equity, under contract (including these Terms), or otherwise, all of which are hereby expressly reserved, HouseCanary may elect to suspend or terminate Customer’s access to the Products, permanently or temporarily, in whole or in part. All payments for the Products must be made directly by Customer to HouseCanary, unless HouseCanary authorizes otherwise; HouseCanary shall have no obligation to provide Products for which payment is made by Customer to a third party or for which payment is made by a third party on Customer’s behalf.
l. Suspension/Termination by HouseCanary. Customer’s Products may be suspended or terminated if Customer’s payment is past due. HouseCanary may also suspend or terminate Customer’s Products if it is determined that there is previously unpaid, undisputed, and outstanding amounts due with respect to the Products. Such suspension or termination may continue until satisfactory arrangements have been made for the payment of all past unpaid charges. While Customer’s Products are suspended any applicable promotional offers may be discontinued and revoked as determined solely by HouseCanary. Customer may be charged a fee to restore Customer’s access to the Products. In addition, HouseCanary may immediately terminate all or a portion of Customer’s access to the Products or suspend Customer’s access to the Products, without notice, for conduct that HouseCanary believes (a) is illegal, fraudulent, harassing, abusive, or intended to intimidate or threaten; (b) constitutes a violation of any law, regulation, or tariff (including, without limitation, copyright and intellectual property laws); or (c) is a violation of these Terms, or any applicable policies or guidelines, and HouseCanary may refer such use to law enforcement authorities without notice to Customer. For clarity, termination or suspension by HouseCanary of the Products also constitutes termination or suspension (as applicable) of Customer’s license to use any associated software, if applicable.
m. Termination by Customer. Customer may terminate its Account and access to the Products at any time in Customer’s user administration console. Customer must pay subscription fees and overage charges incurred through the end of the subscription term, including any early termination fees that may apply.
n. No Paper Bill. Failure to receive a bill, including a paper bill does not release Customer from Customer’s payment obligations under these Terms.
o. Free Trial. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in some cases, Customer may be provided a free trial or evaluation period to use the Products for a limited period of time free of charge, as may be set forth on the HouseCanary Site or in a given Order. In the case of any free trial, Customer will not be charged during the free trial period or will not be charged for a specified number of Individual Reports or Licensed Materials during the free trial, as will be set forth in a given Order. Free trials may be subject to various limitations, including, without limitation, a limited number of accessible Individual Reports, a limited number and scope of HouseCanary Analytics API, a limited territory and/or a limited time period for the free trial. When Customer agrees to a free trial for the Products, Customer may be asked to authorize, and by accepting these Terms, Customer hereby expressly authorizes HouseCanary to charge the applicable Fees for such Products to Customer’s designated billing payment method upon the expiration of the free trial, in each case, as set forth on the HouseCanary Site or in a given Order. For clarity, Customer must notify HouseCanary of its determination to terminate a free trial on or before the last day of the free trial. Unless otherwise set forth on the HouseCanary Site or a given Order, upon the expiration of a free trial, Customer will only be able to access the Products in connection with a paid license, on a pay-per-transaction basis or as otherwise described on the HouseCanary Site or the given Order.
5. Intellectual Property.
a. HouseCanary Intellectual Property. As between HouseCanary and Customer, HouseCanary exclusively owns and at all times retains all right, title and interest in and to the HouseCanary Intellectual Property. Customer will not claim for itself or for any third parties any rights, title, interest or licenses to the HouseCanary Intellectual Property, except for the licenses expressly set forth herein. Customer further acknowledges that any derivative works, improvements, modifications, feedback, ideas or suggestions made by Customer or HouseCanary with respect to the HouseCanary Intellectual Property are, and shall at all times be, the property of HouseCanary, with all right, title and interest therein. Customer hereby assigns to HouseCanary all right, title and interest that Customer may have in and to any such derivative works, improvements, modifications, feedback, ideas, or suggestions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect to any HouseCanary Intellectual Property incorporated, made available and/or displayed in a Customer Report or Derivative Product (all of which shall remain the exclusive property of HouseCanary), HouseCanary expressly disclaims all right, title and interest in or to any Customer Report or Derivative Product, each of which shall be owned exclusively by Customer. Customer further acknowledges that any goodwill or reputation for any of the HouseCanary Intellectual Property will belong to HouseCanary, with all right, title and interest therein. Customer shall not be entitled to claim recompense or compensation for such enhanced goodwill or reputation.
b. HouseCanary Development. Notwithstanding any portion of these Terms to the contrary, Customer understands, acknowledges and agrees that HouseCanary may, and HouseCanary hereby expressly reserves the right to, currently or in future develop information, software code, products, analytics, business development initiatives or arrangements, marketing (or co-marketing) initiatives or arrangements, concepts, systems or techniques internally, or receive such information, software code, products, analytics, business development initiatives or arrangements, marketing (or co-marketing) initiatives or arrangements, concepts, systems or techniques from third parties, that may be similar or identical to any Customer Report or Derivative Product, or any information, software code, products, analytics, business development initiatives or arrangements, marketing (or co-marketing) initiatives or arrangements, concepts, systems or techniques therein. In addition, Customer understands that HouseCanary may have, or in the future may enter into, relationships with third parties having pre-existing or competitive relationships with Customer, or with third parties with whom Customer may also be dealing or negotiating, including, without limitation, with respect to initiatives or arrangements similar to or competitive with initiatives or arrangements proposed or intended to be proposed by Customer, or any Customer Report or Derivative Product. These Terms will not in any way limit, restrict or preclude HouseCanary from pursuing any of its present or future business activities or interests or from entering into any agreement or transaction with any person, even if the same are similar or identical to any Customer Report or Derivative Product, or any information, software code, products, analytics, business development initiatives or arrangements, marketing (or co-marketing) initiatives or arrangements, concepts, systems or techniques therein.
c. Commercial Work. If Customer violates any portion of Section 3 above, Customer acknowledges, agrees and confirms that any software, data, database, product, service or business (and any and all revenue therefrom) created, designed or developed by Customer that arises as a result of such violation (collectively, a “Commercial Work”), shall be held by Customer in constructive trust for the benefit of and on behalf of HouseCanary until such time that such Commercial Work can be duly assigned to HouseCanary. Customer expressly acknowledges and consents to such constructive trust, and expressly agrees to, upon written notice from HouseCanary, execute and deliver any and all documents deemed reasonably necessary or appropriate by HouseCanary to evidence the due assignment to HouseCanary of any such Commercial Work.
d. Proprietary Notices. Customer shall not remove or modify any trademark, copyright or other proprietary legend, marking, disclaimer or notice contained in any Individual Report or in any Licensed Materials, whether delivered or communicated via an API or otherwise.
e. Customer Data. “Customer Data” consists of information input into the Products by Customer and Customer behavior on the Products, as captured by the Products. HouseCanary agrees that Customer will own all Customer Data. Customer is ultimately responsible for making and keeping current copies of all Customer Data and related information. Customer hereby grants to HouseCanary a royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable and fully transferable right and license to use Customer Data for the purpose of making available, enhancing, operating, developing and otherwise exploiting HouseCanary’s products and services, including the Products or any other websites and mobile applications, in all events, in a manner that others exercising reasonable diligence cannot determine the Customer Data to be information concerning or describing Customer’s specific business.
6. Confidentiality.
a. Confidentiality Obligations. From and after the date Customer accesses the Products, each Party receiving Confidential Information (the “Receiving Party”) of the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) shall: (i) treat such Confidential Information as the confidential property of the Disclosing Party and be responsible for any breach of the terms hereof by itself or any authorized Person who receives Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party on its behalf; (ii) not use the Confidential Information except as permitted under these Terms; (iii) not disclose or otherwise make available the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to any third party (except as authorized herein and other than to such Party’s employees or independent contractors who (A) have a need to know such Confidential Information, (B) have been advised of the confidential nature of such information and the obligations that apply to them in connection therewith and (C) are subject to obligations of confidentiality with respect to such information as stringent as those set forth herein); and (iv) maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party as it would its own most highly confidential information, but in no event shall the Receiving Party use less than reasonable care.

13. Miscellaneous.
a. Governing Law; Venue. These Terms and each Order shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law. Prior to the filing or initiation of any action or proceeding, each Party agrees to participate in good faith binding arbitration, as set forth in Section 13(b), in San Antonio, Texas. Subject to the provisions of Section 13(b) (and claims proceeding in any small claims court), the Parties agree to submit to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts situated in San Antonio, Texas. Each Party consents to the exercise of personal jurisdiction by such courts and waives any right to plead, claim or allege that San Antonio, Texas is an inconvenient forum.
b. Arbitration; Waiver of Class Action Claims.
i. Arbitration Procedures. The Parties agree that, except as provided in Section 13(b)(iv) below, all disputes, controversies and claims related to these Terms or any given Order (each a “Claim”), shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration, which may be initiated by either Party by sending a written notice requesting arbitration to the other Party. Any election to arbitrate by one Party shall be final and binding on the other. The arbitration will be conducted under the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS, Inc. that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (the “JAMS Rules”) and under the terms set forth in these Terms. In the event of a conflict between the terms set forth in this Section 13 and the JAMS Rules, the terms in this Section 13 will control and prevail. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 13(b)(iv), Customer may seek any remedies available to it under federal, state or local laws in an arbitration action. As part of the arbitration, both Parties will have the opportunity for discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim. The arbitrator will provide a written statement of the arbitrator’s decision regarding the Claim, the award given and the arbitrator’s findings and conclusions on which the arbitrator’s decision is based. The determination of whether a Claim is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Except as otherwise provided in these Terms or any given Order, (i) the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator; and (ii) the arbitrator’s decision shall be final, binding on all parties and enforceable in any court that has jurisdiction, provided that any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to follow applicable law. BY AGREEING TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS THAT CUSTOMER AND HOUSECANARY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
ii. Location. The arbitration will take place in San Antonio, Texas unless the parties agree to video, phone and/or internet connection appearances.
iii. Limitations. The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Claim between HouseCanary and Customer individually. HOUSECANARY AND CUSTOMER AGREE THAT (A) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS-ACTION BASIS OR TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES; (B) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL; AND (C) NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION.
iv. Exceptions to Arbitration. The Parties agree that the following Claims are not subject to the above provisions concerning negotiations and binding arbitration: (i) any Claim seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of HouseCanary’s or Customer’s intellectual property rights; and (ii) any claim for equitable relief. In addition to the foregoing, either Party may assert an individual action in small claims court for Claims that are within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party acknowledges that any breach of these Terms or any Order by the other Party, including, without limitation, any breach by Customer of its confidentiality obligations or negative covenants hereunder, may cause the non-breaching Party irreparable harm for which there may be no adequate remedy at law and, in such case, each Party agrees that the non-breaching Party shall be entitled, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 13(b), to obtain equitable relief by injunction or otherwise, in any court of competent jurisdiction, without the obligation of proving damages or posting a bond or surety.
v. Arbitration Fees. If Customer initiates arbitration for a Claim, Customer will need to pay the JAMS arbitration filing fee. If HouseCanary initiates arbitration for a Claim, HouseCanary will pay the JAMS arbitration filing fee. All other fees and costs of the arbitration will be charged pursuant to the JAMS Rules.
vi. Severability (for purposes of this Section 13(b). The Parties agree that if any portion of this Section 13(b) is found illegal or unenforceable (except any portion of Section 13(b)(iv), that portion shall be severed and the remainder of the Section shall be given full force and effect. If Section 13(b)(iv) is found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Claim falling within that portion of Section 13(b)(iv) found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Claim shall be exclusively decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the San Antonio, Texas, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
c. Entire Agreement; Amendment. These Terms (including the Privacy Policy) and any other terms and conditions set forth in a given Order and/or governing the use of the Products constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties and integrate all prior discussions between them related to its subject matter and supersede all prior or contemporaneous oral and written statements of any kind whatsoever made by the Parties with respect to such subject matter. Any reference herein to these Terms will include a reference to each Order that incorporates these Terms. HouseCanary may update these Terms from time to time in its sole discretion. HouseCanary will use reasonable efforts to notify Customer of any material update to these Terms and the updated version of these Terms will be made available on the HouseCanary Site. Customer may be prompted to agree to or decline an update of these Terms in connection with their next login (and in such event, Customer will be required to agree to the update in order to continue using the Products). In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a given Order, the Order will govern.
d. Assignment. Customer may not assign its rights, or delegate its obligations, under these Terms to any other Person without the express written approval of HouseCanary and any attempt at assignment in violation of this Section 13(d) shall be null and void. HouseCanary may assign these Terms or any given Order without limitation, including to an acquirer of all or a substantial portion of its business or assets.
e. Waiver. The waiver, express or implied, by HouseCanary of any breach of these Terms by Customer will not waive any subsequent breach by Customer of the same or a different kind.
f. Independent Contractors. The Parties acknowledge and agree that they are dealing with each other hereunder as independent contractors. Nothing contained in these Terms shall be interpreted as constituting either Party the joint venturer, employee or partner of the other Party or as conferring upon either Party the power of authority to bind the other Party in any transaction with third parties.
g. Severability. In the event any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
h. Third Parties. The Parties acknowledge and agree that certain of HouseCanary’s licensors are a direct beneficiary with respect to Sections 2, 3 and 9 of these Terms and Conditions and may rely on and enforce each of such provisions as if such licensor was a party hereto. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Parties confirm that unless explicitly granted herein (including within the indemnification provisions herein) their intent is not to confer any rights on any third parties by virtue of these Terms, and accordingly any provisions of law conferring rights to third parties shall not apply to these Terms.
i. Attorneys’ Fees. Should either Party hereto initiate a legal or administrative action or proceeding (an “Action”) to enforce any of the terms or conditions of these Terms, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover from the losing Party all reasonable costs of the Action, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and costs
j. Publicity. HouseCanary may publicly disclose that Customer is a client of HouseCanary and display Customer’s name and logo in connection with such disclosure.
