1. HOW THE VIPHOMELINK SERVICES WORK. vipHomeLink was created to help you leverage technology to  simplify homeownership. The solution enables you, as a Member or as an Associate Member of a Member’s Account  (as defined below) (“Associate Member”), to (i) stay organized by storing all of your home information and  documents in your secure and private home profile, for easy access; (ii) stay on top of routine, but necessary, home  maintenance with personalized reminders and alerts; (iii) improve your home safety, energy efficiency and value  with tailored home recommendations by subject matter experts; and (iv) gamify home management with engaging  home analytical tools, such as the Home Fitness Index (HFI) and Money Meter. 

​

1.1 Virtual Home Checkup. As part of our Services, we also offer a virtual home checkup (“Virtual  Home Checkup”) in which, at your option and with your permission, we will plan a virtual walkthrough of your home with a home expert (“Home Expert”). You may receive a free Virtual Home Checkup as part of your subscription to  the Services, or you, as Registered User or a non-registered user, may purchase a Virtual Home Checkup a la carte.  Payment for such individual purchases are subject to the payment terms in this Agreement. Each Virtual Home  Checkup may be performed using a third-party platform, such as Zoom. As such, you may be required to download third-party software and/or mobile applications before your scheduled appointment to participate in the Virtual  Home Checkup. Your access to and use of any such third-party platform is subject to the terms of service and privacy  policy of that third-party service. For example, if you participate in a Virtual Home Checkup using Zoom, your use of  the Zoom mobile or web application and services is subject to the Zoom Terms of Service, available at  https://zoom.us/terms, and Zoom privacy policy, available at https://www.zoom.us/privacy. Please contact  support@vipHomeLink.com in advance of your scheduled appointment if you have any accessibility issues or  concerns. As part of a Virtual Home Checkup, you may be asked, using your mobile device, to show the Home Expert  around your home through your mobile or web camera, including the laundry room, bathrooms, the kitchen and  basement. While you are not required to show your home, or any particular room in your home, on video, the quality  and completeness of your Virtual Home Checkup is diminished without such access. OTHER THAN PERIODICALLY  FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE AND TRAINING PURPOSES, WE DO NOT RECORD VIRTUAL HOME CHECKUPS AND ARE NOT  RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OF INFORMATION PROVIDED BY A HOME EXPERT TO YOU DURING YOUR VIRTUAL  HOME CHECKUP. YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO RECORD THE VIRTUAL HOME CHECKUP FOR ANY PURPOSE  WHATSOEVER. OUR HOME EXPERTS ARE NOT LICENSED TECHNICIANS OR INSURANCE PROFESSIONALS AND WILL NOT REPAIR OR ADVISE ON HOW TO REPAIR ANY ITEM OR SERVICE IN NEED OF MAINTENANCE. RATHER, HOME  EXPERTS WILL PROVIDE INFORMATION REGARDING HOME SAFETY, ENERGY EFFICIENCY, AND THE NEED FOR SUCH  REPAIRS AND PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AND ADVISE YOU TO ENGAGE WITH A THIRD PARTY LICENSED  PROFESSIONAL. VIPHOMELINK IS NOT REPONSIBLE AND DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY ACTIONS OR  OMISSIONS OF SUCH THIRD PARTY PROFESSIONALS. 

 

THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY VIPHOMELINK ARE INTENDED TO BE USED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURSPOSES ONLY.  VIPHOMELINK IS IN NO WAY YOUR AGENT, ADVISOR, OR CUSTODIAN, AND WE DO NOT HAVE A FIDUCIARY  RELATIONSHIP OR OBLIGATION TO YOU REGARDING ANY DECISIONS OR ACTIVITIES THAT YOU EFFECT WHEN USING  OUR SERVICES. VIPHOMELINK DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY OR THAT OF YOUR FAMILY OR YOUR  GUESTS, OR THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED BY A HOME EXPERT OR  ELSEWHERE IN THE APPLICATION OR THE SERVICES.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR INDEPENDENTLY VERIFYING ANY  INFORMATION OR ADVICE CONVEYED TO YOU IN THE APPLICATION OR THE SERVICES OR DURING A VIRTUAL HOME  CHECKUP. BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF OR RELIANCE ON THE  INFORMATION PROVIDED BY VIPHOMELINK THROUGH THE SERVICES OR OUR HOME EXPERTS IS AT YOUR OWN RISK  AND THAT VIPHOMELINK DOES NOT IN ANY WAY REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL PREVENT ANY  DAMAGE TO YOU OR YOUR HOME OR HAVE ANY EFFECT ON YOUR HOME WARRANTY OR YOUR INSURANCE CLAIMS  OR PREMIUMS.

You must provide vipHomeLink with a valid  credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or any other issuer accepted by us) or, if applicable, an account of a third-party  payment provider such as PayPal (each credit card or payment provider account, a “Payment Provider”), or purchase  order information, as a condition to signing up for the Services. Your Payment Provider agreement governs your use  of the designated credit card or account, and you must refer to that agreement, not this Agreement, to determine  your rights and liabilities. By providing vipHomeLink with your credit card number or third-party payment provider  account and associated payment information, you agree that vipHomeLink is authorized to immediately invoice your  Account for all fees and charges due and payable to vipHomeLink hereunder and that no additional notice or consent  is required.

Except as set forth in the Agreement, all fees for the Services  are non-refundable. No contract will exist between you and vipHomeLink for the Services until vipHomeLink accepts  your order by a confirmatory e-mail, SMS/MMS message, or other appropriate means of communication.

​

9.3 Withholding Taxes. You agree to make all payments of fees to vipHomeLink free and clear of, and  without reduction for, any withholding taxes. Any such taxes imposed on payments of fees to vipHomeLink will be  your sole responsibility, and you will provide vipHomeLink with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing  authority, or such other evidence as we may reasonably request, to establish that such taxes have been paid. 

​

9.4 Automatic Renewal. Your subscription will continue indefinitely until terminated in accordance  with the Agreement. After your initial subscription period, and again after any subsequent subscription period,  your subscription will automatically commence on the first day following the end of such period (each a “Renewal  Commencement Date”) and continue for an additional equivalent period, at vipHomeLink’s then-current price for  such subscription. You agree that your Account will be subject to this automatic renewal feature unless you cancel  your subscription at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the Renewal Commencement Date, by logging into and  going to the “Manage Subscription” page of your “Account Management” page. If you do not wish your Account  to renew automatically, or if you want to change or terminate your subscription, please contact vipHomeLink at  support@vipHomeLink.com or log in and go to the “Manage Subscription” page on your “Account Management”  page. If you cancel your subscription, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription  term; your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, you will not be eligible  for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period. By  subscribing, you authorize vipHomeLink to charge your Payment Provider now, and again at the beginning of any  subsequent subscription period. Upon renewal of your subscription, if vipHomeLink does not receive payment from  your Payment Provider, (a) you agree to pay all amounts due on your Account upon demand and/or (b) you agree  that vipHomeLink may either terminate or suspend your subscription and continue to attempt to charge your  Payment Provider until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your Account will be activated and for  purposes of automatic renewal, your new subscription commitment period will begin as of the day payment was  received). 

 

9.5 Discounts, Promo Codes and Premium Offers. We may, in our sole discretion, create discounts  and promotional codes that may be redeemed for a discount on the Services, credit in your Account, or any other  features or benefits, subject to any additional terms that we establish on a per promotional code basis (“Promo  Codes”).

13. TERM AND TERMINATION.  

 

13.1 Term. The Agreement commences on the date when you accept them (as described in the  preamble above) and remain in full force and effect while you use vipHomeLink Properties, unless terminated earlier  in accordance with the Agreement. 

 

13.2 Termination of Services by vipHomeLink. You will have thirty (30) days from the Service  Commencement Date, or any Renewal Commencement Date, for any Services hereunder, to cancel such Service, in  which case vipHomeLink will refund your Service Subscription Fee, if already paid pursuant to Section 9.1 (Payment)  or 9.2 (Service Subscription Fees), for the applicable Service. Except as set forth above, the Service Subscription Fee  for any Service shall be non-refundable. If timely payment cannot be charged to your Payment Provider for any  reason, if you have materially breached any provision of the Agreement, or if vipHomeLink is required to do so by  law (e.g., where the provision of the Website, the Application, the Software or the Services is, or becomes, unlawful),  vipHomeLink has the right to, immediately and without notice, suspend or terminate any Services provided to you.  You agree that all terminations for cause shall be made in vipHomeLink’s sole discretion and that vipHomeLink shall  not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your Account. 

 

13.3 Termination of Services by You. If you want to terminate the Services provided by vipHomeLink,  you may do so by (a) notifying vipHomeLink at any time and (b) closing your Account for all of the Services that you  use. Your notice should be sent, in writing, to vipHomeLink’s address set forth below. As noted above in Section 9.4,  upon termination, if you cancel your subscription or otherwise terminate your Account or the Services, you may use  your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription term, but you will not be eligible for a prorated  refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period. THE SERVICES WILL  CONTINUE AT THE END OF EACH SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD UNLESS YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IN ACCORDANCE  WITH THE PROCEDURE SET FORTH IN SECTION 9.4 (AUTOMATIC RENEWAL).

Termination of all Services also includes deletion of your password and all  related information, files and Content associated with or inside your Account (or any part thereof), including Your  Content and your home profile and associated home history information. Upon termination of any Service, your  right to use such Service will automatically terminate immediately. You understand that any termination of Services  may involve deletion of Your Content associated therewith, including your home profile and associated home history  information, from our live databases. vipHomeLink will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any suspension  or termination, including for deletion of Your Content. All provisions of the Agreement which by their nature should  survive, shall survive termination of Services, including without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty  disclaimers, and limitation of liability. 

 

13.5 No Subsequent Registration. If your registration(s) with, or ability to access, vipHomeLink Properties or any other vipHomeLink community, is discontinued by vipHomeLink due to your violation of any  portion of the Agreement or for conduct otherwise inappropriate, then you agree that you shall not attempt to re register with or access vipHomeLink Properties or any vipHomeLink community through use of a different member  name or otherwise, and you acknowledge that you will not be entitled to receive a refund for fees related to those  vipHomeLink Properties to which your access has been terminated. In the event that you violate the immediately  preceding sentence, vipHomeLink reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately take any or all of the  actions set forth herein without any notice or warning to you. 

​

14. INTERNATIONAL USERS. vipHomeLink Properties can be accessed from countries around the world and  may contain references to Services and Content that are not available in your country. These references do not  imply that vipHomeLink intends to announce such Services or Content in your country. vipHomeLink Properties are  controlled and offered by vipHomeLink from its facilities in the United States of America. vipHomeLink makes no  representations that vipHomeLink Properties are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who  access or use vipHomeLink Properties from other countries do so at their own volition and are responsible for  compliance with local law.

​

15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Please read the following arbitration agreement in this section (“Arbitration  Agreement”) carefully. It requires U.S. users to arbitrate disputes with vipHomeLink and limits the manner in  which you can seek relief from us. 

 

15.1 Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute, claim, or request for relief  relating in any way to your access or use of the Website, to any products sold or distributed through the Website,  or to any aspect of your relationship with vipHomeLink, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court,  except that (a) you may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if your claims qualify,; and (b) you or  vipHomeLink may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such  as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement  shall apply, without limitation, to all disputes or claims and requests for relief that arose or were asserted before  the effective date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement.  

 

15.2 Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and  enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting  arbitration and describing your dispute or claim or request for relief to our registered agent (AYBIII, 6 South Street,  Ste 302, Morristown, NJ 07960). The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute  resolution provider. Disputes involving claims, counterclaims, or request for relief under $250,000, not inclusive of  attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules  and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other disputes shall be  subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at  http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com  or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral  forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees  and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, vipHomeLink will pay them for you. In addition, vipHomeLink will reimburse  all such JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for disputes, claims, or requests for relief totaling  less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. 

 

You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person  in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the  arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  

 

15.3 Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope  and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation,  applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any assertion that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and  liabilities, if any, of you and vipHomeLink. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters  or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all  or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the  Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of  decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of  any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a  court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us. 

 

15.4 Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND VIPHOMELINK HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND  STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and vipHomeLink are instead electing that all disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be resolved by arbitration under this  Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 15.1 (Application of Arbitration Agreement) above. An  arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement  as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject  to very limited review. 

 

15.5 Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS, AND REQUESTS FOR  RELIEF WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND  NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE  CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.  If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this section’s limitations as to a  given dispute, claim, or request for relief, then such aspect must be severed from the arbitration and brought into  the State or Federal Courts located in the State of New York. All other disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall  be arbitrated.  

​

15.6 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration  Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: legal@vipHomeLink.com, within thirty (30) days  after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your  vipHomeLink username (if any), the email address you used to set up your vipHomeLink account (if you have one),  and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this  Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration  Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the  future, with us. 

 

15.7 Severability. Except as provided in Section 15.5 (Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized  Relief), if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable,  then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the  Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. 

​

15.8 Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your  relationship with vipHomeLink. 

 

15.9 Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if  vipHomeLink makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within  thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing vipHomeLink at the following address:  legal@vipHomeLink.com.
