4. Scope of Services.

• Payment Portal
  
  • RentRisk provides services directly to the owners and managers (collectively, “Landlord”) of the property where you reside. One such service is the Payment Portal (the “Portal”), which enables Landlords’ respective residents to access various services provided by Landlord, including the ability for you to make online payments of your rent and other charges to Landlord (“Payment Processing”). Landlord has decided to make the Portal available to you. Please note, however, that RentRisk does not provide residential or payment services to you, nor does the Portal process payments— rather, the Portal merely allows you to access, among other things, the Payment Processing center contracted for service by Landlord. All questions related to the residential or payment services provided via the Portal should be directed to Landlord.
• Background Screening
  
  • In addition to the Portal provided to Landlords, which may be accessed by you, RentRisk provides background screening services (the “Screening Service”). Your participation in the Screening Service is subject to your acceptance of these terms of use. As part of the Screening Service, a consumer (“Report Subject”) may request a “Report Service,” which includes access to a copy of that Report Subject’s eviction and criminal information (collectively “Background Screening Report”) and may authorize RentRisk to provide the Background Screening Report to a Landlord (for purposes of Screening Service, “End User”) collectively “Report Service”. Additional services may be included in the Screening Service or Report Service (each referred to herein as a “Service”) in the future, and the registration and authentication information provided under this Agreement may be used in the provision of any such Service. Both Report Subject and End User, if any, agree to the applicable Terms of Use set forth herein.

16. Dispute Resolution.

You agree that your use of the Website and the Services constitutes a transaction in interstate commerce and that any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the use of this website or to any acts or omissions for which you may contend RentRisk is liable, including but not limited to any claim or controversy as to arbitrability (“Dispute”), shall be finally, and exclusively, settled by arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et. seq. This section is deemed to be a written agreement to arbitrate pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act and is intended to satisfy the writing requirement thereunder.

YOU THUS GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS. YOU ALSO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN OR BRING CLASS ACTIONS. YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE DETERMINED BY A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR.

The arbitration will be held before one arbitrator under the arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in force at that time. The arbitrator will be selected pursuant to the AAA rules. Should no AAA rule regarding the selection of an arbitrator be in effect, you will select an arbitrator from a panel of arbitrators acceptable to RentRisk. To begin the arbitration process, a party must make a written demand.

Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator will not have the power to multiply actual damages or award consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, and each party irrevocably waives any claim thereto. The agreement to arbitrate will not be construed as an agreement to the joinder or consolidation of an arbitration under these Terms of Use with an arbitration of disputes or claims of any non-party, regardless of the nature of the issues or disputes involved. If either party employs attorneys to enforce any right in connection with any dispute or lawsuit the prevailing party is entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees. This section 16, in its entirety, shall survive termination of your access to or use of the Services.

Additional Conditions of Arbitration between RentRisk and Tenants

The arbitration will be conducted in the forum mutually agreed to by the parties. In any arbitration with a Tenant, RentRisk will pay the filing fee, plus the costs associated with the first day of arbitration, with the remaining costs of arbitration paid by the non-prevailing party.

Additional Conditions of Arbitration between RentRisk and Landlords

The arbitration will be conducted in either Arlington County or Fairfax County, Virginia. In any arbitration with a Landlord, the demanding party will pay the filing fee, with the remaining costs of arbitration paid by the non-prevailing party. Should a dispute arise and should the arbitration provisions become inapplicable or unenforceable, you agree that jurisdiction over and venue of any suit will be exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in Arlington County or Fairfax County, Virginia.

17. Severability and Integration.

Unless otherwise specified in these Terms of Use, the Website, or the Services, these Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and RentRisk with respect to the Services and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written, or electronic) between you and RentRisk with respect to the Services. If any part of these Terms of Use is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion is construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining portions remain in full effect. Additional terms may be agreed upon by you and RentRisk with respect to content available via the Services.

18. Governing Law.

You agree that all matters relating to your access to, or use of, the Services, and all matters relating to these Terms of Use, including statutes of limitation, are governed by the laws of the State of Virginia, except that the ARBITRATION PROVISION will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Any dispute arising out of this Agreement will be subject to the ARBITRATION PROVISION.

20. Non-Waiver.

RentRisk’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. No single or partial exercise of right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
