In addition, you hereby represent and warrant that your Information and Materials: (a) do not and will not, directly or indirectly, violate, infringe or breach any duty toward or rights of any person or entity, including without limitation any Fair Housing, copyright, trademark, service mark, trade secret, other intellectual property, publicity or privacy right; (b) are not fraudulent, misleading, hateful, tortious, defamatory, slanderous, libelous, abusive, violent, threatening, profane, vulgar or obscene; (c) do not harass others, promote bigotry, racism, hatred or harm against any individual or group, promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, sexual orientation or age, or otherwise interfere with another party’s use of the Site or the Renting Edge or Provider Services; (d) do not promote illegal or harmful activities; and (e) are not illegal, unlawful or contrary to the international, national, federal, state, provincial, or local laws or regulations applicable to the User Materials where created, displayed or accessed.
    4. Communications. Although Renting Edge provides a platform that allows access to certain Provider Services through which Users may communicate with various other Providers, advertisers, or other persons or entities (collectively, a “Third-Party”) (the “Communications”), Renting Edge is not involved in those Third-Party Communications and is not responsible or liable under any circumstances for the content of any Third-Party Communications, or for any absence of Communications by a Third-Party. The content of such Third-Party Communications are determined solely by the Third-Party responsible for the Communications, and not Renting Edge. RentingEdge is only responsible for the content of information issued directly by Renting Edge. You acknowledge and agree that you will address any issues or concerns about Third-Party Communications with the responsible Third-Party by contacting said Third-Party directly and not Renting Edge. Renting Edge shall not become involved in any matters pertaining to Third-Party Communications except where the issue is solely attributable to a malfunction or error occurring on the Site or in connection with the Renting Edge Services.
    5. Renter Screening. As part of the Renting Edge Services, Users may be permitted to submit information through the Site for the purpose of conducting a User background check or screening on behalf of a property manager or owner (a “Screening”). Information that you submit through the Site for the purpose of such Screening shall be treated in accordance with the Privacy Policy. Your submission of the information requested for a Screening shall constitute your consent to the Screening process. Screenings also may be governed by other Renting Edge Requirements as may be disclosed to you in connection with the Screening. You acknowledge that you will address any issues or concerns with any Screenings, including the results of any Screenings, by contacting the appropriate property manager or owner, or as otherwise permitted under the Renting Edge Requirements applicable to the Screening. Renting Edge shall not become involved in Screening related issues except where the issue is solely attributable to a malfunction or error occurring on the Site or in connection with the Renting Edge Services or as otherwise specified in the Renting Edge Requirements applicable to the Screening.
    6. Payments. For paid products, by placing your order, you authorize us to charge your credit card or other account that you have designated for such purpose (“Payment Source”). You further authorize us to keep your membership current by automatically charging your designated Payment Source for the then current fees associated with the monthly, annual or other periodic renewal term established at the time of your initial enrollment. Your membership will continue or renew automatically and you will be charged the then current membership fee until you cancel. You agree to pay in Canadian dollars, using the Payment Source provided at the time of registration. In addition, you authorize us to attempt to automatically update your Payment Source if the information we have on file is no longer valid, and if we are successful in obtaining updated credit or debit card information, we will update your records accordingly and charge any updated Payment Source using the updated information. In the event that we are unable to charge and/or update your Payment Source, We may suspend access to such paid products. Paid products will be subject to termination with or without notice. We are not responsible for any overdraft/over-the-limit charges or bank fees triggered by your order being processed.
    7. Product Cancellation and Refunds. All sales are final, and you will not be entitled to a refund once the paid product is delivered to you. You may cancel any subscription-based products at any time. To cancel your membership, please contact our Customer Service Team at customerservice@landlordcreditbureau.com. 
    8. Changes To Products, Pricing and Terms. We may change the prices for our paid products at any time, with notice, and you will be charged the new price for all future purchases or renewals of such products.
    9. Payments For Third Party Services. Except as expressly provided herein, any payments you submit through the Site for services provided by a Provider or a party other than Renting Edge, are determined solely by you and any other party with whom you are entering into an agreement, and not by Renting Edge. You acknowledge that you will address any discrepancies, issues or concerns with such payments by contacting the other party directly, rather than Renting Edge. Renting Edge shall not be involved in such issues except where the issue is solely attributable to a malfunction or error occurring on the Site or in connection with the Renting Edge Services. However, Users may take advantage of certain Renting Edge Services or Provider Services that have a charge associated with them, if available, that is imposed by Renting Edge or other third-party, which may or may not be a subsidiary or affiliate of Renting Edge. Renting Edge or such other company may collect these fees directly from Users as provided by the Site or the Renting Edge or Provider Services. You acknowledge these fees are subject to change. Terms specific to Renting Edge or Provider Services may set out further terms applying to such payments (including in relation to refunds (if any), billing arrangements and any consequences of failing to make timely payments). You must comply with all such terms in relation to such payments by you.
    10. Third Party Agreements. Any agreements that you enter into through the Site with a third party, where supported and available, are for services provided by a Provider or another party other than Renting Edge. Although Renting Edge provides the Site as a platform for Provider Services through which Users may execute agreements and enter into binding contracts with third parties, RentingEdge is not involved in, is not liable for, and is not a party to those transactions. The terms of those transactions are determined solely by you and the Third-Party with whom you are entering into said contract, and not by Renting Edge. You acknowledge that you will address any issues or concerns with such agreements with said Third-Parties directly, rather than Renting Edge. Renting Edge shall not be involved in any issues relating to such agreements except where the issue is solely attributable to a malfunction or error occurring on the Site or in connection with the Renting Edge Services. If you choose to use the electronic signature execution functionality of the Site, where offered, you understand, acknowledge and agree that you have carefully reviewed the disclosure relating to use of your electronic signature to execute documents and will not execute such documents with your electronic signature without providing your consent to use your electronic signature. You agree that you will rely on your own legal counsel to determine the sufficiency of the electronic signature execution of the documents and their enforceability and that Renting Edge makes no warranty or other representation with respect to the sufficiency of the electronic signature execution of the documents under applicable international, national, federal, state, provincial or local laws or regulations.
    11. Other Offerings. Renting Edge may choose to change the Renting EdgeServices that it offers through the Sites at any time, or the Provider Services that are offered. This may include adding additional offerings, including additional functionality, or reducing the same. For example, a product may be offered, as either a Renting Edge Service or a Provider Service, denoted on the Sites.

  1. MISCELLANEOUS.

    1. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ontario, Canada, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law.
    2. Jurisdiction. Except as set forth below, you agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Site shall be filed only in the courts of Ontario, Canada and you hereby consent and submit exclusively to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such action. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Renting Edge from seeking injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.
    3. Arbitration. If a dispute arises between you and Renting Edge, our goal is to learn about and address your concerns and, if we are unable to do so to your satisfaction, to provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly.

      1. You and Renting Edge agree that we will resolve any claim or controversy at law or equity that arises out of or relates to this Agreement or the Site (a “claim”) in accordance with this Section 16. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, for any claim where the total amount of the award sought is less than $500 CAD, the party requesting relief may choose to resolve the dispute through binding non-appearance-based arbitration in accordance with the following: (a) the arbitration will be provided through a nationally-recognized alternative dispute resolution provider mutually agreed upon by the parties; (b) the arbitration will be conducted in one or more of the following manners at the option of the party initiating arbitration: telephone, online, or written submissions; (c) the arbitration will not involve any personal appearances by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties; and (d) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
      2. All claims between you and Renting Edge must be resolved in accordance with this Section 16. All claims filed or brought contrary to this Section 16 shall be considered improperly filed.
    4. Severability, Waiver. If any provision of this Agreement shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this Agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. A provision of this Agreement may be waived only by a written instrument executed by the party entitled to the benefit of such provision. The failure of any party at any time to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall in no manner affect such party’s right at a later time to enforce the same. A waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a continuing waiver of other breaches of the same or other provisions of this Agreement.
    5. Notices. Renting Edge may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to this Agreement, by email, regular mail or postings on the Site. You must provide notice to Renting Edge by email or regular mail using the information in Section 16 below.
    6. Assignment. This Agreement (including the Guidelines), and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you. Renting Edge may at any time, for any reason and without restriction, transfer or assign this Agreement and the obligations contained in this Agreement to a third party. You hereby acknowledge and agree that if another company acquires Renting Edge or substantially all of our assets (by sale, merger, or otherwise), that transaction may include a sale or transfer of your Personal Information as defined by our privacy policy.

 

  1. Survival. Any and all provisions related to or regarding limitation of liability, disclaimers, and indemnification, as well as any other provisions which by their nature are intended to survive expiration or termination of this Agreement, do and hereby survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement or any termination of your use of access to the Site.
  2. Headings; Entire Agreement. The heading references herein are for convenience purposes only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement, and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The word “including” means “including without limitation”. This is the entire agreement between us relating to the subject matter herein and shall not be modified except in writing, signed by both you and Renting Edge, or by a change to this Agreement or the Guidelines.
  3. Claims. YOU AND RentingEdge AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SITE MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
  4. Individual Renters-  We will report the rent is paid every month and we will email each renter’s landlord every month, asking if their tenant has missed the payments. The landlord will have to respond to the email if it’s not paid and then we will call that landlord to conform. If there is no response to the email then we will report the renters rent payment as paid. 
  5. Landlords and Property managers–  We will have our system set up so that we automatically report rent as paid unless the landlord or property manager reaches out to us or digitally notifies us otherwise. This will be good so that we only have to call and confirm the missed payments and we don’t have to call all of our customers that are property managers and landlords. We have to have someone create a feature for our landlords and Pm’s so that we can have them just login and click a button and then we get an email saying missed payment so that we can reach out and confirm.
  6. Purpose – it is best practice to give notice and receive consent prior to reporting. If an applicant has a negative rental history, or intends to be delinquent, including the following clauses in your application can encourage good behavior and on time rental payments.

Additionally, it is an opportunity to explain to good tenants that you will be helping to improve their credit rating.

  • Information for Screening Applicants. The Applicant hereby consents to the Landlord or their agent obtaining and viewing credit, financial and related personal or business information, and tenant history about the Applicant (including credit reports, credit scores and tenant records), from past and present landlords and from the reporting agencies known as Equifax, TransUnion, Experian and Renting Edge, from time to time for the purposes of assessing the Applicant’s current and ongoing eligibility for tenancy.  The consents provided are effective as of the date of this Application and will be valid for as long as required to fulfill the purposes described herein.
  • Disclosure to Credit Bureaus. If the Applicant is granted tenancy with the Landlord, the Applicant hereby consents to the Landlord or their agent disclosing information about the Applicant and information about their tenancy, including but not limited to the amount and timing of rent payments, good behaviour, problematic behaviour, any debt outstanding, and reviews of the Landlord’s experience regarding the Applicant, to Equifax, Renting Edge and other reporting agencies, which may then be used in a tenant record, credit report and credit score for the Applicant and shared with other landlords and credit grantors.
