2. About the Website and Arendnik’s Role
The Website provides users with content, functionality, and services related to managing, leasing, or renting real property, including vacancy marketing, rental applications, tenant screening, and payment processing. The Website may be used by tenants or prospective tenants (which are referred to herein as “tenants”) to, among other things, apply for a property, and make or receive payments, and by landlords, property managers, or their agents (which are referred to herein as “landlords”) to, among other things, market properties, receive applications, and make or receive payments.

However, we are not a party to any transactions, contracts, or agreements between users or between any user and any third party, even if the transaction is facilitated by the Website. We are not a landlord or property manager, nor are we a broker or agent for any user. Further, while we may provide general information about the rights and obligations of landlords and tenants, as well as forms or template documents, including contracts such as lease agreements or rental agreements, we are not lawyers and do not provide legal advice of any kind.

6. Reliance on Information Posted
The content and information presented on or through the Website is made available solely for general informational purposes and to facilitate the interactive services offered through the Website. While we may take efforts to provide reliable and up to date information through the Website, we do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of this information. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk and we disclaim all liability and responsibility for any loss or damage resulting from such reliance.
Furthermore, while we take certain measures intended to assist users in avoiding potentially fraudulent or other illegal activity, including using third-party identity verification services to help ensure the identity of users before allowing them to use certain interactive features of the Website (such using the electronic payments service), we cannot and do not guarantee the effectiveness of these measures or the accuracy of the identity of any user, even if we have indicated that such user’s identity has been verified. You assume the risk of transacting business with any other user or third-party through the Website and understand that an indication that a user’s identity has been verified means only that the user has provided sufficient information to satisfy the identity verification process of our third party identity verification vendors and that it is not a guarantee of the identity of such person.
The Website may include content provided by third parties, including materials provided by other users, bloggers and third-party licensors, syndicators, aggregators and/or reporting services. All statements and/or opinions expressed in these materials, and all articles and responses to questions and other content, other than the content clearly provided by us, are solely the opinions and the responsibility of the person or entity providing those materials and do not necessarily reflect our opinion. We are not responsible, or liable to you, for the content or accuracy of any materials provided by any third party.
7. Interactive Services
The Website provides certain interactive services and facilitates transactions and the sharing of information between users and between users and third parties, including by allowing landlords to prepare leases or other documents, and to receive rent payments, and allowing tenants to submit rental applications, and make rent payments. By using the interactive services, you specifically acknowledge and agree that any information submitted by you or obtained by us or such third parties in connection with your use of these services, including, but not limited to, your name, address, phone number, may be provided to us or by us to third parties (including but not limited to potential lessors, third-party vendors, and service providers, or other third parties). YOU ARE PROVIDING EXPRESS PERMISSION FOR US TO COLLECT ALL SUCH INFORMATION AND TO PROVIDE IT TO THIRD PARTIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR PRIVACY POLICY.
8. Payment Transactions
You may use the Website to make or receive payments. We are not a party to payment transactions between users (e.g. between tenants and landlords), we never take custody of money transferred between users, and we are not responsible for what recipients do with payments made through the Website.
Payments made by credit card or debit card will incur a convenience, processing, or similar fee, as applicable, that is added to the amount of the payment. These fees are paid by the party making the payment and there is no charge to receive payments via the Website.
During the time that you are making or receiving payments through the Website, you must ensure that all bank account, ACH information, and debit or credit card information of the payor and payee is up-to-date and accurate. Any authorization you provide to make repeating automatic payments using the Website will remain in effect until cancelled. Either party to any recurring payment transaction may cancel the recurring payment transaction at any time by contacting [email protected], or by submitting such cancellation though the party’s account on the Website where such option is available. However, if a current transaction is in process, such transaction will be finalized before we cancel the recurring payments.
By providing us with your banking, credit or debit card, or other payment information, you authorize us to use it and disclose it to Ameriabank or other payment gateway providers for the purpose of processing the payments you authorize through the Website. Payment gateway providers may also aggregate your information for other purposes, but only in ways that don’t identify you personally or disclose any personal information about you and may disclose your personal information when necessary to comply with the law.
If you make or attempt to make a payment through the Website and the payment does not complete for any reason or is rejected for insufficient funds (NSF), you may be assessed late fees or penalties and/or charged an NSF fee and you will be responsible for correcting the non-payment by initiating a new transaction through the Website or by making the payment in some other manner, paying any late fees or penalties assessed against you, and paying any NSF fee charged to you. We may require that you pay any late fees or penalties assessed and/or any NSF charged to you before you may initiate a new payment transaction through the Website. For avoidance of doubt, if any payment you initiate using the Website does not successfully complete, the intended payment recipient reserves the right to seek payment from you via the Website or otherwise.
If you receive any payment through the Website and the payment is the subject of a reversal, chargeback, or dispute, then you authorize us and our third-party payment providers to reverse or otherwise debit the funds at issue from your account. If we are unable to reverse or otherwise debit sufficient funds from your account, then you agree to pay such amounts to us promptly upon our request.
If Arendnik receives a notice of dispute that a tenant or other payor files with the bank or credit card company that such person used to make a payment through the Website, you agree that we may reverse such charge on the basis of receiving the notice of dispute alone. Arendnik reserves the right to disable a user’s account for excessive reversals, chargebacks or disputes.
Any blocked or otherwise unpaid reversals, chargebacks, or dispute amounts are due and payable to Arendnik and may be sent to a collections firm or similar debt collection agency. All accounts with unresolved reversals, chargebacks or dispute amounts may result in the closure of the account. You acknowledge and agree to our right to investigate any and all transactions for fraud and you agree to cooperate with any reasonable requests made by us in an effort to investigate fraud. We reserve the right to seek reimbursement from you, and you will reimburse us, if we discover any fraudulent transaction, erroneous or duplicate transaction, or if we receive a chargeback or reversal from any payor for any reason with respect to any transaction to which you are a party. You agree that we have the right to obtain such reimbursement by charging your account, deducting amounts from future transactions, charging your credit card or any bank account associated with your account, or obtaining reimbursement from you by any other lawful means, including using a third party collection agency. Failure to pay any amounts required to be paid, including any reimbursements of a chargeback or a reversal of payment, is cause for termination of your account.
WE ARE NOT A COLLECTION AGENCY AND WE DO NOT GUARANTEE ANY PAYMENT BY ANY THIRD PARTY NOR DO WE ASSUME THE RISK OF NONPAYMENT BY ANY PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PAYMENT TRANSACTION MADE THROUGH THE WEBSITE.
9. Rental Listings
IF YOU POST A PROPERTY THROUGH THE WEBSITE OR ANY OF ARENDNIK’S RENTAL MARKETING SERVICES, YOU HEREBY REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU ARE THE PROPERTY OWNER FOR SUCH PROPERTY BEING POSTED, OR THE DULY AUTHORIZED AGENT OR REPRESENTATIVE OF SUCH PROPERTY OWNER.
Arendnik posts properties or listings submitted to the Website to one or more major property listing sites, but does not guarantee that by posting any property or listing on the Website, such property or listing will be posted to any third-party website.
Any and all content will be created in cooperation with you and used only upon your acknowledged approval. Arendnik does not guarantee the accuracy of the property listings. Before publishing, you will be able to edit and correct any inaccuracies before the content is published. It is your responsibility to review and approve the listing before publishing the content.
10. Legal Information and Forms
The Website may provide you with general legal information and access to certain self-help, “fill in the blank” forms (the “forms“), including leases and other legally binding documents. All such information and forms are provided as-is and without any warranties, express or implied. In providing such information and forms you agree that we are not providing you with legal advice and we are not engaged in the practice of law. You understand that the information and forms may not be tailored to your specific needs and are not a substitute for legal advice from qualified counsel. Without limiting the foregoing, you acknowledge that the information and forms made available through the Website may not reflect recent developments in the law, may not be complete, and may not be accurate in or applicable to your jurisdiction. Because such information and forms are general in nature and may not pertain to your specific circumstances, you should not act or refrain from acting based solely on any such information or forms or without first obtaining advice from professional counsel qualified in the applicable subject matter and jurisdiction. You are advised to always verify the appropriateness of any form in light of your local laws, court decisions, and statutory changes, and to consult with your own legal counsel for advice and to ensure that the forms are properly used. Arendnik facilitates the sharing of legal forms with a certified notary to help with the legalization of signed agreements between tenants and landlords. We strongly advise users to opt-in to the use of the notarization process, especially in case of longer term leases. If you have any questions about how to fill out or use any forms, it is important that you consult with your legal counsel. No user shall have any claim against us or any other party in connection with such user’s use of the forms. Users use the forms at their own risk and shall hold us harmless with respect thereto. Any disputes arising out of or related to any forms are solely between the parties that used such forms and must be resolved outside of the Website.
