Your Subscription shall commence immediately upon Companys acceptance of your order to purchase that Subscription, which may precede the date on which you begin using the Application. The initial term of your Subscription (the Initial Term) shall be as agreed upon by you and Company during registration and reflected in the Invoice, but in the event that no term is listed in the Invoice, then the Initial Term shall be one (1) year in length.

Automatic RenewalUpon completion of the Initial Term, your Subscription will renew automatically on a month-to-month basis (each, a Renewal Month) unless you provide Company with notice of termination at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Initial Term. Any such notice must be provided to Company by speaking with a Company customer service representative, by dialing the Customer Service Line during the business hours posted at www.topproducer.com/support. The Customer Service Line is 1-800-830-8300 or such other number as specified by Company from time to time.

Subscription Fees are subject to change by Company from time to time in its sole discretion. Company may establish or change Subscription Fees for Renewal Months by specifying such fees via one or more of the Subscriber Notification Methods in advance of the applicable Renewal Month. The Subscriber Notification Methods include (i) a posting to any of the websites (or their successor site(s)) located at www.topproducer.com or www.topproduceronline.com  (or on a sub-page of any of those websites), (ii) the posting of a notice on or in the relevant Application itself or any of its reports or output, (iii) the sending of an email message to you (at the last known email address we have on file for you), or (iv) any other reasonable method of notifying you, either orally or in writing (electronic or otherwise).

You hereby authorize Company to debit your credit card for any and all amounts owed by you hereunder, and you will keep such credit card as you register with Company for this purpose in effect and in good standing and with available open credit sufficient to cover any such amounts arising under this Agreement. If for any reason the credit card that Company has on file for you becomes, in Companys understanding or judgment, cancelled, invalid, insufficient, non-authorized, frozen, unavailable, unreliable or for any reason unusable or ineffective for prompt payment to Company, then you will immediately provide Company with a replacement credit card and related information; all authorizations hereunder will apply to any such replacement credit card(s).

Initial Term. The initial term of your Subscription (the Initial Term) shall be as set forth in the Order Terms.

The duration/term of any renewal (the Renewal Term) shall be: for renewals by mutual agreement, the duration then agreed upon; and for Auto Renewals, the Auto-Renewal Term as provided for below. Companys fees and charges in effect for the applicable Application at the time of any renewal shall apply to such renewal. Such charges may be changed by Company at any time and without notice, but such changes, unless otherwise provided in your Order Terms, will not apply except for new Orders, renewals and Orders that are on a month to month basis or without any fixed term.

Auto RenewalExcept as otherwise provided herein, for any Application indicated in the Order Terms or an Auto-Renewal Notice (as defined below) as being subject to Auto-Renewal, this Agreement shall renew automatically at the end of the Initial Term or any then current Renewal Term for an additional term (an Auto-Renewal Term), of either the duration set forth in the Auto-Renewal Notice (as defined below) or, if no duration is set forth in the Auto- Renewal Notice, thirty (30) days (each such renewal, an Auto Renewal), either at the rate set forth in the Order or at the standard rate in effect at the time of such Auto Renewal, as set forth in the Auto-Renewal Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Order Terms or any Auto-Renewal Notice for an Application may indicate that the term for the Application will automatically renew on a month-to-month basis at the end of the then-current term, in which case such monthly automatic renewal will control and will continue (without further Auto-Renewal Notices) until such time as (a) Company provides you with an Auto-Renewal Notice for such Application specifying a different Auto-Renewal Term for such Application, (b) Company notifies you that such Application is no longer subject to Auto Renewal or (c) you cancel the automatic renewal as set forth below.

You also acknowledge that certain aspects of the Market Snapshot tool will require or make possible various settings by You, that certain aspects of the Market Snapshot tool will be set to a given default setting (e.g., default-set so that a Market Snapshot report automatically is issued on Your behalf in response to a Lead), and that certain MLS user I.D. and/or password information might need to be supplied by You for the Market Snapshot tool to be activated. You further acknowledge that the Application relies heavily on data from multiple listing services and that the usefulness of the Application to You will therefore depend significantly on whether the Market Snapshot tool is supported by the MLS(s) relevant or important to You. You understand that the Market Snapshot tool is not supported by all MLSs and agree to take responsibility to confirm with the Company whether the MLS(s) relevant or important to You are supported by the Market Snapshot tool.

 

3.2  LEAD WIDGET Company may have previously provided you with a website-installable, consumer-facing widget (the Lead Widget) that can facilitate prospects ability to communicate to You their interest in receiving information from You about homes or properties they might wish to sell, purchase or learn more about.  While this Supplement and Agreement is in force You are authorized to cause the Lead Widget to be installed on one or more websites, but all such use of the Lead Widget (including any deployment and un-deployment thereof) must be in accord with this Agreement and only upon Your obtaining all needed permissions from the owners and/or operators of such websites. Company acknowledges that this grant of the right to deploy the Lead Widget on websites exceeds the scope of certain rights granted in Section 4 of the Main Agreement Terms regarding use of an Application, and Company hereby confirms such additional scope is intended regarding the Lead Widget so long as You otherwise comply with the Main Agreement Terms (including, without limitation, the second paragraph of Section 4 (captioned, Limitations) of such Main Agreement Terms) and the terms of this Supplement regarding the Lead Widget. You also understand that Company assumes no responsibility or risks regarding any deployment or use of the Lead Widget nor any consequences thereof, and You agree to assume all such responsibility and related risks. You understand that all Leads resulting directly from the Lead Widget will be directed to the Application for further response/follow-up. You understand that any Lead Widget You deploy will require, therefore, that Your subscription and access to the Application be active, and that if this is not the case then the Application will not process any Lead information that might be generated by a deployed Lead Widget. You also agree that if You wish to change a Lead Widget as deployed on a website, or wish to thereafter implement Lead Widget changes that the Company may have released, that, unless otherwise instructed or permitted by Company, You will do so by un-deploying the existing Lead Widget from the website and then re-deploying it (or an updated version of it) with the desired changes. You also acknowledge that Company assumes no responsibility or risk for keeping track of, nor for deleting, removing, un-installing or otherwise un- deploying Lead Widgets that You cause to be deployed, nor for any consequences of any of the foregoing. In the event of any termination of this Supplement or the Agreement, or upon any instructions from the Company, You agree to immediately delete, remove, un-install or otherwise un-deploy, in accordance with this Supplement and Agreement, any and all Lead Widgets that You had previously caused to be deployed and to otherwise comply with all terms of this Agreement applicable in light of such termination.

You promise to hold all Sensitive Company Information in strict confidence, not to disclose any of it to any third party without Companys express written consent, not to use any of it for any purpose except to fulfill Your express duties under this Agreement, to return or destroy all of it upon any termination of this Agreement (except insofar as needed to fulfill duties hereunder that continue after termination of this Agreement) and to confirm to Company, in writing, Your compliance with this paragraph as may be requested by Company from time to time. Sensitive Company Information means any information disclosed or otherwise provided to You by Company or by way of the performance of this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, the confidentiality and limited use provisions of the Main Agreement Terms (e.g., Section 5 thereof) remain applicable and binding notwithstanding, and in addition to, this paragraph of this Supplement.

 

7.  REPRESENTATION. You represent and warrant that You, as the person indicating assent to this Agreement, are of the age of legal majority and are fully competent and authorized to enter into this agreement and that every authorization and consent that You may need in order to validly enter into this agreement has already been obtained by You.

D.  COMPANY-PROVIDED WEB CONTENT.   As part of the Application, certain articles, information and other Content might be made available on the website or for your posting to the website (Company-Provided Web Content).  You are hereby permitted, subject to and in accordance with this Agreement and in particular this Supplement, to include and display on the website any such Company-Provided Web Content as the Application enables you to so use in connection with the website.

F.   DOMAIN NAMES.

F-1. An appropriately retained and registered domain name is a required condition to this Application. Company has chosen third party domain name vendors ("TPDNVs") who are ICANN accredited registrars, to provide domain name registration services in connection with the Application. You hereby authorize Company to transfer in or acquire a domain name from a TPDNV and renew or permit the renewal of the domain name annually. You agree, and will remain agreeable throughout the duration of the use of the domain name, to the TPDNVs' terms of service (excluding any such terms Company may specifically except from your duty of compliance), which you acknowledge the TPDNVs may change at any time in their sole discretion and without notice. You understand that you will become a party to a separate contractual relationship between yourself and the TPDNVs, and that you, and not Company, will be fully and solely responsible for all liability and obligations in connection with that relationship (excluding any such terms Company may specifically except from your duty of compliance).  However, you also agree that Company may act on your behalf (including as your agent) in connection with such relationship, the TPDNVs and your account(s) with them.

 

F-2. If, after registering one or more domain names in connection with the website or Application (for example, because of your incorrect registration  of a  domain  name or  otherwise),  you choose  to  delete a  previously  registered domain  name  and subsequently register one or more additional different domain names, you will be charged the resulting domain name registration fees.

 

     F-3. Company may list you as the registrant and/or administrative contact in connection with the domain name; however, in such cases Company may temporarily list itself as the registrant and/or administrative contact for administrative purposes (e.g., in the event that it changes to a different TPDNV, until the TPDNV change is completed).  You hereby authorize Company to list itself as the billing contact and technical contact, and list its name servers, in connection with the domain name and to take any actions Company deems appropriate in those capacities. However, upon any termination of your Subscription for the Application, Company may immediately cease acting in those capacities including in connection with switching registrars. Although Company will, if requested by you at the time of termination of your Subscription, endeavor to cooperate reasonably in the transfer to you of the domain name after such termination, Company reserves the right to cancel or allow the lapse of the domain name(s) associated with the website.   Company will not be responsible to forward any notices, emails or other correspondence  to  you  or  to  take  any  other  actions  in  connection  with  the  domain  name  after  any  such  termination. Additionally, in the event that your Subscription or your receipt of, access to or use of your Subscription, the website or the Application is suspended by Company under this Agreement, Company shall not be required to renew any domain names that may become due for renewal during such suspension.  You will be solely responsible for all ongoing fees, as well as removing Company as the billing and technical contact, and its listed name servers, in connection with the domain name.

 

G.  COMPLAINTS, INQUIRIES. If Company is contacted with a complaint, comment or inquiry about, or otherwise becomes aware of or concerned regarding, any use of, activity, trend or problem relating to, or Content that may be posted to, perceptible on or through, linked to or otherwise available on or through use of, the website or Application then (i) Company will be free (without notice) to take or refrain from taking any action it deems, in its sole discretion, to be appropriate, advisable, useful, preferable, prudent, protective or mitigating, (ii) Company shall have absolutely no responsibility or liability to you or others as a consequence of any such action or inaction, and (iii) you will indemnify, defend and hold Company and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (Company Persons) harmless from and against all lawsuits, claims, actions, damages, loss, injury, costs (including, without limitation, attorneys fees, experts fees and other defense costs), expenses, penalties, interest and liability (collectively, Claims Or Losses) incurred by, owed by or adjudicated or awarded against any such Company Person, or otherwise asserted by or owed to any third party, as a result of, in the course of defending or addressing, or in connection with any such lawsuit, claim or action, any such action or inaction or any such use, activity, trend, problem or Content.

 

H.    DISCLAIMER, UNDERSTANDINGS REGARDING WEBSITE CONTENT OR WRONGS. Company shall be under no obligation, but does reserve the right (without notice), to monitor, pre-screen, block, remove, render inaccessible and otherwise regulate and address any website or Content. In no event will Company be responsible for any libel, slander, defamation, rights-infringement or legal wrong that might be committed in connection with the website or Application, nor for the appropriateness, accuracy, sufficiency, correctness, legality, veracity, completeness, or timeliness of any use of, activity, trend or problem relating to, or Content that may be posted to, perceptible on or through, linked to or otherwise available on or through use of, the website or Application.
