Terms of Service for Subscription Services

Last updated on September 9, 2024.

Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms” or this “Agreement”) carefully as they contain important information about your legal rights, remedies and obligations as a user of the Services (as defined below). These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“Customer”) and PlaceHolder Canada Inc. (“Company”) and governs the Services offered through or in connection with the website.

BY CLICKING TO ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND BY ACCESSING AND USING THE SERVICES, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY AND COMPLY WITH THESE TERMS AND OUR PRIVACY POLICY OR LEAD ASSISTANT PRIVACY POLICY, INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS OR THE PRIVACY POLICY, YOU MUST NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES. THESE TERMS INCLUDE AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, WHICH REQUIRES THAT YOU AND CO ARBITRATE CERTAIN CLAIMS BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF GOING TO COURT, AND LIMIT CLASS ACTION CLAIMS, UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE AS DESCRIBED IN THE ARBITRATION SECTION (SEE SECTION 7 OF THESE TERMS).

For the purpose of these Terms, “you” and “your” refers and apply to the business, company or other legal entity entering into these Terms.

The collection and use of personal information in connection with your access to and use of the Services is described in our Privacy Policy or Lead Assistant Privacy Policy.

1. Subscription to a PlaceHolder Service

1.1 This Agreement permits you to purchase subscriptions to online software-as-a-service products and other services from Company (“Services”) pursuant to any Company ordering documents, online registration, order descriptions or order confirmations referencing this Agreement (“Order Form(s)”) and sets forth the basic terms and conditions under which those products and services will be delivered. This Agreement will govern Customer’s initial purchase on the date set forth in the applicable Order Form (the “Effective Date”) as well as any future purchases made by Customer that reference this Agreement. Each Service is provided on a subscription basis for a set term designated on the Order Form (each, a “Subscription Term”).

1.2 Subject to the terms of this Agreement and during the Subscription Term specified in an applicable Order Form, Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer the Services in accordance with this Agreement. As part of the registration process, Customer will identify an administrative user name and password for Customer’s Company account.

1.3 If Customer receives free access or a trial or evaluation subscription to the Service (a “Trial Subscription“), then Customer may use the Services in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement for a period of seven (7) days or such other period granted by Company (the “Trial Period“). Trial Subscriptions are permitted solely for Customer’s use to determine whether to purchase a paid subscription to the Services. Trial Subscriptions may not include all functionality and features accessible as part of a paid Subscription Term. If Customer does not enter into a paid Subscription Term, this Agreement and Customer’s right to access and use the Services will terminate at the end of the Trial Period. Company has the right to terminate a Trial Subscription at any time for any reason. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, COMPANY WILL HAVE NO WARRANTY, INDEMNITY, SUPPORT, OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO TRIAL SUBSCRIPTIONS.

1.4  Company may, at any time and in its sole discretion, add to, remove, change or discontinue the Service or any component or version of the Products (the “Service Changes”), which may require Customer to take certain actions including, but not limited to, installing certain patches, fixes or updates, upgrading to a new version of a Product and/or migrating to an alternative Service. Such Changes may be made for reasons including, but not limited to:  (i) to comply with applicable law or regulation, (ii) for security reasons, (iii) due to changes imposed by a third party supplier, and/or (iv) due to the termination of our relationship with a third party supplier which is material for the provision of the Services.

2. Subscription Fees

2.1 Use of the Service is subscription based and is therefore conditioned on Customer's advanced payment of a monthly subscription fee. Customer is responsible for the timely payment of all such fees and any other taxes or assessments attributable to Customer in connection with the use of the Website. Customer hereby (i) agrees to provide Customer's complete and accurate registration and billing information (including any modifications thereto) to Company, (ii) agrees to pay all subscription fees for use of the Service, and (iii) if applicable, authorizes Company to charge Customers credit card on an automatic and recurring basis for all fees owed to Company for use of the Service.

2.2 The subscription fees are due monthly on the same date of each calendar month ("Billing Date"), as determined by Company in its sole discretion. Company may change the Billing Date without notice to Customer. Unless Company changes the Billing Date after Customer has subscribed, subscription fees to the Service will not be prorated and the registration or use of the Website at any time during a calendar month will constitute Customer's agreement to pay the full subscription amount for such month.

2.3 Customer may convert the trial subscription into a paid subscription at any time before the end of the Trial Period by clicking on the subscription link in User's account and submitting a completed subscription form to Company. If Customer does not convert the trial subscription into a paid subscription, then upon expiration of the Trial Period Customer's account will be deactivated; resulting in a complete and irretrievable loss of content from Customers account, for which Company will not have any liability whatsoever. Customer may sign-up for only one (1) Trial Period unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by Company and any violation of this policy may result in the immediate termination of Customer's account.

2.4 If Customer upgrades or downgrades its service level  then such change in service and the new subscription fee amount will be effective on the next Billing Date. Customer understands that any downgrade in service will result in the loss of certain features and may result in a complete and irretrievable loss of content from User's account, for which Company will not have any liability whatsoever.

2.5 COMPANY RESERVES THE RIGHT, AT ANY TIME AND FROM TIME TO TIME, TO PROSPECTIVELY CHANGE THE NATURE AND AMOUNT OF FEES CHARGED FOR USE OF THE WEBSITE, AND THE MANNER IN WHICH SUCH FEES ARE ASSESSED.

3. License Grant

During the Term, Company grants Customer a limited, nonexclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use, and to permit other authorized users as set out in the Order Form to access and use the Services on Customer’s behalf to access and use, the Services to which Customer has subscribed, on the terms set forth in this Agreement. Customer agrees that all rights, title and interest in and to all the intellectual property rights in the Services and all modifications, extensions, scripts and other derivative works of the Services provided or developed by Company are owned exclusively by Company or its licensors. All rights not granted to Customer in this Agreement are reserved by Company.

4.  Content 

4.1 Customer may provide input to the Services (“Input”), and receive output from the Services based on the Input (“Output”). Input and Output are collectively “Content.” Customer is responsible for Content, including ensuring that it does not violate any applicable law or these Terms. Customer represents and warrants that you have all rights, licenses, and permissions needed to provide Input to our Services.

4.2  Ownership of content. As between you and Company and to the extent permitted by applicable law, you (a) retain your ownership rights in Input and (b) own the Output. Company hereby assigns to you all our right, title, and interest, if any, in and to Output. 

4.3  Similarity of content. Due to the nature of our Services and artificial intelligence generally, output may not be unique and other users may receive similar output from our Services. The assignment above does not extend to other users’ output or any third party Output. 

4.4 Use of content. Company may use Content to provide, maintain, develop, and improve our Services, comply with applicable law, enforce our terms and policies, and keep our Services safe. 

4.5 Opt out. If Customer does not want us to use your Content to train our models, customer can opt out by contacting the Company. Please note that in some cases this may limit the ability of our Services to better address your specific use case.

4.6 Accuracy. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are rapidly evolving fields of study. Company is constantly working to improve our Services to make them more accurate, reliable, safe, and beneficial. Given the probabilistic nature of machine learning, use of Services may, in some situations, result in Output that does not accurately reflect real people, places, or facts. 

4.7 When Customer uses Services, Customer understands and agrees:

  1. Output may not always be accurate. You should not rely on Output from our Services as a sole source of truth or factual information.
  2. Customer must evaluate Output for accuracy and appropriateness for your use case, including using human review as appropriate, before using or sharing Output from the Services.
  3. Customer must not use any Output relating to a person for any purpose that could have a legal or material impact on that person, such as making credit, educational, employment, housing, insurance, legal, medical, or other important decisions about them. 
  4. Customer Services may provide incomplete, incorrect, or offensive Output that does not represent Company’s views. If Output references any third party products or services, it doesn’t mean the third party endorses or is affiliated with the Company.

5.  Restrictions and Responsibilities  

5.1 Customer will not (a) use the Services in excess of the scope of use specified in an applicable Order Form, or (b) directly or indirectly: reverse engineer the Services or any software, documentation or data related to the Services (“Software”); modify, translate, or create derivative works based on the Services or any Software; (c) use the Services or any Software for timesharing or service bureau purposes; or (d) remove any proprietary notices or labels.

5.5 Company may at any time suspend any use of the Service and/or remove or disable any content as to which Company reasonably and in good faith believes is in violation of this Agreement. Company agrees to provide Customer with notice of any such suspension or disablement before its implementation unless such suspension or disablement is necessary to comply with legal process, regulation, order or prevent imminent harm to the Service or any third party, in which case Company will notify Customer to the extent allowed by applicable law of such suspension or disablement as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.

6.  Term and Termination

If the Subscription Start Date is not explicitly nor implicitly identified in the Order Form, the Subscription Start Date shall be the date Customer executes, where applicable, the initial Order Form, unless otherwise agreed to in writing. Some software Products may be made available to Customer on a date prior to the Subscription Start Date identified in the Order Form. If Customer uses such software Products to process taxable business transactions before such identified Subscription Start Date, then the Subscription Start Date will thereby be amended to such earlier date.

In the case of Services licensed on a trial basis, the Term of this Agreement shall be limited to the duration of the trial period identified in the Order Form. Except as otherwise specified herein, Customer may not terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Term. If Customer is located in the Province of Quebec, Customer expressly waives the application of Sections 2125 and 2129 of the Civil Code of Quebec.

8. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

8.1 Overview of Dispute Resolution Process. This Agreement provides for a two‑part dispute resolution process for Customers: (i) an informal negotiation directly with Company, and (ii) confidential arbitration before a single arbitrator. If you are located in Canada, the arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. and the seat and location of the arbitration will be in Ontario, Canada. If you are located in the United States, the arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association and the seat and location of the arbitration will be in the State of New Jersey. All decisions of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on both parties and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. The language of the arbitration will be English unless otherwise required by applicable law or agreed to by you and Company.

8.2 Pre‑Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. Prior to initiating an arbitration, Customer and Company each agree to notify the other party of the dispute or controversy between a Customer and Company, including any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Services, any Company Policies, any interactions or transactions between a Customer and Company, or in respect of any legal relationship associated with or derived from this Agreement, including the validity, existence, breach, termination, construction, application or enforceability, or the rights, duties or obligations of a Customer or Company (“Dispute”) and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first. If after a good faith effort to negotiate one party feels the Dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration. 

8.3 Agreement to Arbitrate. Customer and Company mutually agree that Disputes will be settled by binding individual arbitration. If there is a dispute about whether this agreement to arbitrate can be enforced or applies to the Dispute, the Customer and Company agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.

8.4 Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. The Customer and Company each agree that the following claims are exceptions to the agreement to arbitrate and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, or cyber‑attack); and (iii) small claims actions brought in the state court in which Customer or Company is located if such court has a small claims procedure and if such court is located in the United States.

8.5 Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.

8.6 Jury Trial Waiver. THE CUSTOMER AND COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT EACH ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ALL ARBITRABLE DISPUTES.

8.7 No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. Customer and Company acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each are waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class‑wide arbitration, private attorney general action, or any other representative proceeding as to all Disputes. Further, unless the Customer and Company both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If the “class action lawsuit” waiver or the “class‑wide arbitration” waiver in this section is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, then the agreement to arbitrate will be deemed void with respect to such Dispute and the Dispute must proceed in court. If the “private attorney general action” waiver or the “representative proceeding” waiver in this section is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, those waivers may be severed from this section and the Customer and Company agree that any private attorney general claims and representative claims in the Dispute will be severed and stayed, pending the resolution of any arbitrable claims in the Dispute in arbitration.

9. General Provisions

9.3 No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between the Customer and Company as a result of these Terms or the Customer’s use of the Services.

9.4 If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be struck and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

9.5 Company’s failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by Company in writing. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise permitted under law.

9.6 You may not assign, transfer or delegate this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder without Company’s prior written consent.

9.14 The parties hereto have required that this Agreement be drawn in the English language, and that the English language version shall control over all translations thereof. If Customer is located in Quebec, the following sentence shall apply: Les parties conviennent que cette entente ainsi que tout document accessoire soient rediges en anglais.

Terms of Service for Tenants

Last updated on August 1, 2022.

Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms” or this “Agreement”) carefully as they contain important information about your legal rights, remedies and obligations.

BY CLICKING TO ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND BY ACCESSING AND USING THE SERVICES, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY AND COMPLY WITH THESE TERMS AND OUR PRIVACY POLICY, INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS OR THE PRIVACY POLICY, YOU MUST NOT ACCESS OR USE THE DATACO SERVICE. THESE TERMS INCLUDE AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, WHICH REQUIRES THAT YOU AND DATACO ARBITRATE CERTAIN CLAIMS BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF GOING TO COURT, AND LIMIT CLASS ACTION CLAIMS, UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE AS DESCRIBED IN THE ARBITRATION SECTION (SEE SECTION 15 OF THESE TERMS).

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and the applicable PlaceHolder entity in Schedule A (“DataCo”) governing the use of the DataCo website, including any subdomains thereof, and any other websites through which DataCo makes its services available, mobile, tablet and other smart device applications, and application interfaces and all associated services (the “DataCo Platform”) and the platform operated by DataCo that enables Landlords to publish Listings (as such terms are defined below) and to communicate and transact directly with Tenants (as defined below) that are seeking to submit an Offer (as defined below) on a Listing and to enter into a Rental Agreement over a Premises (as such terms are defined below) (“DataCo Service”).

The collection and use of personal information in connection with your access to and use of the DataCo Service is described in the DataCo Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”). The License Terms found on the DataCo website (together with the Privacy Policy, the “DataCo Policies”) are applicable to your use of the DataCo Platform and are incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

Please contact DataCo with any questions at info@placeholder.com.

1. Scope of DataCo Service

1.1 The DataCo Service is an online platform that enables registered users (“Members”) to publish listings for spaces (“Listings”, and Members who publish Listings are “Landlords”) on the DataCo Platform and to communicate and transact directly with Members that are seeking to lease the area described in such Listings (“Tenants”). Tenants may use the DataCo Service to submit offers (“Offers”) to a Landlord to rent the area described in a Listing (a “Premises”) and Landlords may accept such Offers.

1.2 As the provider of the DataCo Service, DataCo does not own, create, sell, resell, provide, control, manage, offer, deliver, or supply any Listings. The Landlord alone is responsible for its Listings. When a Landlord accepts an Offer through the DataCo Service, the Tenant and the Landlord are each agreeing to enter into a separate written agreement (a “Rental Agreement”) directly with each other, to which DataCo is not a party. DataCo is not and does not become a party to or other participant in any contractual relationship between Members.

1.3 DataCo has no control over and does not guarantee, represent or warrant any of: (i) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of any Listings, (ii) the truth or accuracy of any Listing descriptions, or (iii) the performance or conduct of any Member or third party. DataCo does not endorse any Member or Listing. Any references to a Member being “verified” (or similar language) only indicate that the Member has completed a verification or identification process with DataCo and nothing else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by DataCo about any Member, including the Member’s identity or background or whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable. Tenants should always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to enter into a Rental Agreement with a Landlord through the DataCo Service, or communicate and interact with other Members, whether online or in person. Images in a Listing are intended only to indicate a photographic representation of a Premises at the time the photograph was taken and do not represent an endorsement by DataCo respecting any Landlord or Listing.

1.4 A Tenant’s relationship with DataCo is limited to being an independent, third‑party contractor, and not an employee, agent, joint venturer or partner of DataCo for any reason, and a Tenant acts exclusively on its own behalf and for its own benefit, and not on behalf, or for the benefit, of DataCo. DataCo does not, and shall not be deemed to, direct or control a Tenant generally or in its performance under this Agreement.

1.5 In accordance with our Privacy Policy, to promote the DataCo Platform and increase the exposure of Listings to Tenants, Listings and other any text, photos, audio, video or other materials and information created by a Member (“Member Content”) may be displayed on other websites, in applications, within emails, and in online and offline advertisements.

1.6 In order to use the DataCo Service, Members must have a computer with Internet access that can access the DataCo Platform or a compatible mobile device enabled with any mobile application DataCo may provide.

2. Authority, Using the DataCo Service, Member Verification

2.1 The Tenant represents and warrants that: (i) it is entering into this Agreement on behalf of a corporation and not as an individual; (ii) it has all requisite power, authority, capacity, rights, and licenses to enter into and perform this Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated herein; (iii) this Agreement constitutes legal, valid, and binding obligations, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms; (iv) the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement, lease, or instrument to which the Member is a party or by which its properties may be bound or affected; (v) no suit, action, arbitration, or other legal or administrative proceeding is pending, or to its knowledge has been threatened, against the Member that would affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.

2.2 DataCo may make access to and use of the DataCo Service, or certain features of the DataCo Service, subject to certain conditions or requirements, such as completing a verification process, meeting specific quality or eligibility criteria, the Tenant’s cancellation history or the Tenant’s history of making Offers.

2.3 DataCo does not assume any responsibility for the confirmation of any Member’s identity. Notwithstanding the above, for transparency and fraud prevention purposes, and as permitted by applicable laws and in accordance with our Privacy Policy, DataCo may, but has no obligation to (i) ask a Member to provide a form of government identification or other information or undertake additional checks designed to help verify the identity or background of a Member, including but not limited to articles of incorporation and proof of signatory; or (ii) screen a Member against third party databases or other sources and request reports from service providers, including but not limited to credit agencies.

2.4 The Tenant represents and warrants to DataCo that, in respect of any personal information that Tenant provides to DataCo in connection with this Agreement, the Tenant will obtain all consents and will have provided all notices to all relevant individuals as required under applicable privacy laws.

2.5 The use of the DataCo Service may be subject to separate policies, standards or guidelines, or may require that the Tenant accepts additional terms and conditions. If there is a conflict between this Agreement and terms and conditions applicable to a specific feature of the DataCo Service, the latter terms and conditions will, unless specified otherwise, have priority with respect to the Tenant’s use of that feature.

3. Modification of DataCo Service; Modification of these Terms

3.1 DataCo may change the DataCo Service at any time. DataCo may alter, suspend or discontinue the DataCo Service in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason, without notice. The DataCo Service may also periodically become unavailable due to maintenance or malfunction of computer equipment or for other reasons.

3.2 DataCo reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time in accordance with this provision. If DataCo makes changes to these Terms that DataCo, in its sole discretion, considers material, the revised Terms will be emailed to the Tenant. DataCo will also provide Tenants with notice of material modifications by email at least thirty (30) days before the date the revised Terms become effective. If a Tenant disagrees with the revised Terms, it may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect. DataCo will inform the Tenants about their right to terminate the Agreement in the notification email. If a Tenant does not terminate this Agreement before the date the revised Terms become effective, its continued access to or use of the DataCo Service will constitute acceptance of the revised Terms.

4. Account Registration; Electronic Communications

4.1 Tenants must register an account (“DataCo Account”) to access and use certain features of the DataCo Service, such as making an Offer or entering into a Rental Agreement.

4.2 A Tenant can register a DataCo Account by completing the DataCo Account registration form found on the DataCo website or otherwise provided by DataCo. The Tenant must provide accurate, current and complete information during the registration process and keep its DataCo Account information up‑to‑date at all times by immediately notifying DataCo of any changes.

4.3 The Tenant may not register more than one (1) DataCo Account unless DataCo authorizes it to do so. The Tenant may not assign or otherwise transfer its DataCo Account to any other party.

4.4 Any username, password, or any other piece of information chosen by the Tenant, or provided by the Tenant as part of our security procedures (“Login Credentials”), must be treated as confidential, and the Tenant must not disclose it to any other person or entity. The Tenant is responsible for protecting its Login Credentials from unauthorized use, and the Tenant is responsible for all activity that occurs on its DataCo Account (including, without limitation, financial obligations). The Tenant shall notify DataCo immediately if its believe that its Login Credentials have been or may be used without its permission so that appropriate action can be taken. DataCo is not responsible for losses or damage caused by a Tenant’s failure to safeguard its Login Credentials.

4.5 You hereby agree: (i) to receive communications, including emails, push notifications, mail and telephone calls, that are related to the DataCo Service; (ii) that any communications from DataCo may also include marketing materials from DataCo or from third parties; and (iii) that any notices, agreements, disclosures or other communications that DataCo sends to you electronically are deemed to satisfy any legal communication requirements. You may opt out from receiving our communications by contacting DataCo at info@placeholder.com. or selecting to unsubscribe as may be provided in the applicable correspondence

5. Listings and Content

5.1 The Landlord is solely responsible for setting the rent (including any taxes if applicable) in respect of its Listing.

11. Disclaimers

11.1 If the Tenant chooses to use the DataCo Service, it does so voluntarily and at its sole risk.

11.2 The Tenant agrees that it has had whatever opportunity it deems necessary to seek independent legal advice, to investigate the DataCo Service, laws, rules, or regulations that may be applicable to a Listing or a Rental Agreement and that it is not relying upon any statement whatsoever of law or fact made by DataCo relating to a Listing or a Rental Agreement.

11.3 If DataCo chooses to conduct identity verification or background checks on any Member, to the extent permitted by applicable law, DataCo disclaims warranties of any kind, either express or implied, that such checks will identify prior misconduct by a Member or guarantee that a Member will not engage in misconduct in the future.

15. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

15.1 Overview of Dispute Resolution Process. This Agreement provides for a two‑part dispute resolution process for Tenants: (i) an informal negotiation directly with DataCo, and (ii) confidential arbitration before a single arbitrator. If you are located in Canada, the arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. and the seat and location of the arbitration will be in Ontario, Canada. If you are located in the United States, the arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association and the seat and location of the arbitration will be in the State of New Jersey. All decisions of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on both parties and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. The language of the arbitration will be English unless otherwise required by applicable law or agreed to by the Member and DataCo.

15.2 Pre‑Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. Prior to initiating an arbitration, the Tenant and DataCo each agree to notify the other party of the dispute or controversy between a Tenant and DataCo, including any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the DataCo Service, any DataCo Policies, any interactions or transactions between a Tenant and DataCo, or in respect of any legal relationship associated with or derived from this Agreement, including the validity, existence, breach, termination, construction, application or enforceability, or the rights, duties or obligations of a Tenant or DataCo (“Dispute”) and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first. If after a good faith effort to negotiate one party feels the Dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration.

15.3 Agreement to Arbitrate. The Tenant and DataCo mutually agree that Disputes will be settled by binding individual arbitration. If there is a dispute about whether this agreement to arbitrate can be enforced or applies to the Dispute, the Tenant and DataCo agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.

15.4 Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. The Tenant and DataCo each agree that the following claims are exceptions to the agreement to arbitrate and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) Any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) Any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, or cyber‑attack); and (iii) small claims actions brought in the state court in which Tenant or DataCo is located if such court has a small claims procedure and if such court is located in the United States.

15.5 Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.

15.6 Jury Trial Waiver. THE TENANT AND DATACO ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT EACH ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ALL ARBITRABLE DISPUTES.

15.7 No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. The Tenant and DataCo acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each are waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class‑wide arbitration, private attorney general action, or any other representative proceeding as to all Disputes. Further, unless the Tenant and DataCo both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If the “class action lawsuit” waiver or the “class‑wide arbitration” waiver in this section is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, then the agreement to arbitrate will be deemed void with respect to such Dispute and the Dispute must proceed in court. If the “private attorney general action” waiver or the “representative proceeding” waiver in this section is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, those waivers may be severed from this section and the Tenant and DataCo agree that any private attorney general claims and representative claims in the Dispute will be severed and stayed, pending the resolution of any arbitrable claims in the Dispute in arbitration.

16. General Provisions

16.1 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with laws of (i) the province of Ontario (if in Canada), or (ii) the state of New Jersey (if in the United States), and the federal laws of Canada or the United States applicable therein.

16.3 Except as they may be supplemented by additional terms and conditions, policies, guidelines or standards, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between DataCo and the Tenant pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between DataCo and the Tenant in relation to the access to and use of the DataCo Service.

16.7 If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be struck and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

16.9 The Tenant may not assign, transfer or delegate this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder without DataCo’s prior written consent.

DataCo is not responsible for any automatic filtering the Tenant or its network provider may apply to email notifications DataCo sends to the email or physical address provided in the Tenant’s DataCo Account information.

16.11 Any notices or other communications between Members as permitted and required hereunder by DataCo must be sent by email to an email address provided by DataCo or by other method of communication as agreed to by the relevant Members.

16.12 If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, the clauses of this Agreement that reasonably should survive termination of this Agreement will remain in effect.

16.13 The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be used to interpret or construe any provision of this Agreement.

16.14 Unless the context of this Agreement clearly requires a different interpretation or construction, all references to the singular shall also include the plural and vice versa.

Last updated on August 1, 2022.

Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms” or this “Agreement”) carefully as they contain important information about your legal rights, remedies and obligations.

BY CLICKING TO ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND BY ACCESSING AND USING THE SERVICES, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY AND COMPLY WITH THESE TERMS AND OUR PRIVACY POLICY, INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and the applicable PlaceHolder entity in Schedule A (“DataCo”) governing the use of the DataCo website, including any subdomains thereof, and any other websites through which DataCo makes its services available, mobile, tablet and other smart device applications, and application interfaces and all associated services (the “DataCo Platform”) and the platform operated by DataCo that enables Landlords to publish Listings (as such terms are defined below) and to communicate and transact directly with Tenants (as defined below) that are seeking to submit an Offer (as defined below) on a Listing and to enter into a Rental Agreement over a Premises (as such terms are defined below) (“DataCo Service”).

The collection and use of personal information in connection with your access to and use of the DataCo Service is described in the DataCo Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”). The License Terms found on the DataCo website (together with the Privacy Policy, the “DataCo Policies”) are applicable to your use of the DataCo Platform and are incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

Landlords alone are responsible for identifying, understanding, and complying with all laws, rules and regulations that apply to its Listings and Rental Agreements.

Please contact DataCo with any questions at info@placeholder.com.

1. Scope of DataCo Service

1.1 The DataCo Service is an online platform that enables registered users (“Members”) to publish listings for spaces (“Listings”, and Members who publish Listings are “Landlords”) on the DataCo Platform and to communicate and transact directly with Members that are seeking to lease the spaces described in such Listings (“Tenants”). Tenants may use the DataCo Service to submit offers (“Offers”) to a Landlord to rent the spaces described in a Listing (a “Premises”) and Landlords may accept such Offers.

1.2 As the provider of the DataCo Service, DataCo does not own, create, sell, resell, provide, control, manage, offer, deliver, or supply any Listings. The Landlord alone is responsible for its Listings. When a Landlord accepts an Offer through the DataCo Service, the Tenant and the Landlord are each agreeing to enter into a separate written agreement (a “Rental Agreement”) directly with each other, to which DataCo is not a party. DataCo is not and does not become a party to or other participant in any contractual relationship between Members.

1.3 DataCo has no control over and does not guarantee, represent or warrant any of: (i) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of any Listings, (ii) the truth or accuracy of any Listing descriptions, or (iii) the performance or conduct of any Member or third party. DataCo does not endorse any Member or Listing. Any references to a Member being “verified” (or similar language) only indicate that the Member has completed a verification or identification process with DataCo and nothing else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by DataCo about any Member, including the Member’s identity or background or whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable. Tenants should always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to enter into a Rental Agreement with a Landlord through the DataCo Service, or communicate and interact with other Members, whether online or in person. Images in a Listing are intended only to indicate a photographic representation of a Premises at the time the photograph was taken and do not represent an endorsement by DataCo respecting any Landlord or Listing.

1.4 A Landlord’s relationship with DataCo is limited to being an independent, third‑party contractor, and not an employee, agent, joint venturer or partner of DataCo for any reason, and a Landlord acts exclusively on its own behalf and for its own benefit, and not on behalf, or for the benefit, of DataCo. DataCo does not, and shall not be deemed to, direct or control a Landlord generally or in its performance under this Agreement specifically, including in connection with a Landlord’s provision of Premises through Rental Agreements. A Landlord hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has complete discretion whether to list a Premises, enter into a Rental Agreement or otherwise engage in other business or employment activities.

1.5 In accordance with our Privacy Policy, to promote the DataCo Platform and increase the exposure of Listings to Tenants, Listings and other any text, photos, audio, video or other materials and information created by Member (“Member Content”) may be displayed on other websites, in applications, within emails, and in online and offline advertisements.

1.6 In order to use the DataCo Service, Members must have a computer with Internet access that can access the DataCo Platform or a compatible mobile device enabled with any mobile application DataCo may provide.

2. Authority, Using the DataCo Service, Member Verification

2.1 The Landlord represents and warrants that: (i) it is entering into this Agreement on behalf of a corporation and not as an individual; (ii) it has all requisite power, authority, capacity, rights, and licenses to enter into and perform this Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated herein; (iii) this Agreement constitutes legal, valid, and binding obligations, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms; (iv) the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement, lease, or instrument to which the Member is a party or by which its properties may be bound or affected; (v) no suit, action, arbitration, or other legal or administrative proceeding is pending, or to its knowledge has been threatened, against the Member that would affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.

2.2 DataCo may make access to and use of the DataCo Service, or certain features of the DataCo Service, subject to certain conditions or requirements, such as completing a verification process, meeting specific quality or eligibility criteria, the Landlord’s cancellation history or the Landlord’s history of accepting Offers.

2.3 DataCo does not assume any responsibility for the confirmation of any Member’s identity. Notwithstanding the above, for transparency and fraud prevention purposes, and as permitted by applicable laws and in accordance with our Privacy Policy, DataCo may, but has no obligation to (i) ask a Member to provide a form of government identification or other information or undertake additional checks designed to help verify the identity or background of a Member, including but not limited to articles of incorporation and proof of signatory; or (ii) screen a Member against third party databases or other sources and request reports from service providers, including but not limited to credit agencies.

2.4 The Landlord agrees and acknowledges that as a condition of its access to and use of the DataCo Service, DataCo will engage a third party (a “Security Provider”) to provide security services (“Security Services”) in the sole discretion of DataCo. The purpose of the Security Services is to provide an in-person, physical security presence to increase the level of safety for Landlord and Tenant parties whenever such parties meet in person at the Premises in connection with a Listing or a Rental Agreement entered into via the DataCo Service (a “Meeting”).

2.5 The Landlord agrees, as a material part of the consideration to be rendered to DataCo under this Agreement, to indemnify and hold harmless DataCo, its directors, officers, and employees from and against any and all claims and cost or expenses arising out of or related to such claims, brought by a Security Provider or a Tenant (whether or not party to Rental Agreement with the Landlord) arising out of or related to a Meeting.

2.6 The Landlord represents and warrants to DataCo that, in respect of any personal information that Landlord provides to DataCo in connection with this Agreement, the Landlord will obtain all consents and will have provided all notices to all relevant individuals as required under applicable privacy laws.

2.7 The use of the DataCo Service may be subject to separate policies, standards or guidelines, or may require that the Landlord accepts additional terms and conditions. If there is a conflict between this Agreement and terms and conditions applicable to a specific feature of the DataCo Service, the latter terms and conditions will, unless specified otherwise, have priority with respect to the Landlord’s use of that feature.

3. Modification of DataCo Service; Modification of these Terms

3.1 DataCo may change the DataCo Service at any time. DataCo may alter, suspend or discontinue the DataCo Service in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason, without notice. The DataCo Service may also periodically become unavailable due to maintenance or malfunction of computer equipment or for other reasons.

3.2 DataCo reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time in accordance with this provision. If DataCo makes changes to these Terms that DataCo, in its sole discretion, considers material, the revised Terms will be emailed to the Landlord. DataCo will also provide Landlords with notice of material modifications by email at least thirty (30) days before the date the revised Terms become effective. If a Landlord disagrees with the revised Terms, it may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect. DataCo will inform Landlords about their right to terminate the Agreement in the notification email. If a Landlord does not terminate this Agreement before the date the revised Terms become effective, its continued access to or use of the DataCo Service will constitute acceptance of the revised Terms.

4. Account Registration; Electronic Communications

4.1 Landlords must register an account (“DataCo Account”) to access and use certain features of the DataCo Service, such as publishing a Listing, accepting an Offer or entering into a Rental Agreement.

4.2 A Landlord can register a DataCo Account by completing the DataCo Account registration form found on the DataCo website or otherwise provided by DataCo. The Landlord must provide accurate, current and complete information during the registration process and keep its DataCo Account information up‑to‑date at all times by immediately notifying DataCo of any changes.

4.3 The Landlord may not register more than one (1) DataCo Account unless DataCo authorizes it to do so. The Landlord may not assign or otherwise transfer its DataCo Account to any other party.

4.4 Any username, password, or any other piece of information chosen by the Landlord, or provided by the Landlord as part of our security procedures (“Login Credentials”), must be treated as confidential, and the Landlord must not disclose it to any other person or entity. The Landlord is responsible for protecting its Login Credentials from unauthorized use, and the Landlord is responsible for all activity that occurs on its DataCo Account (including, without limitation, financial obligations). The Landlord shall notify DataCo immediately if its believe that its Login Credentials have been or may be used without its permission so that appropriate action can be taken. DataCo is not responsible for losses or damage caused by a Landlord’s failure to safeguard its Login Credentials.

4.5 You hereby agree: (i) to receive communications, including emails, push notifications, mail and telephone calls, that are related to the DataCo Service; (ii) that any communications from DataCo may also include marketing materials from DataCo or from third parties; and (iii) that any notices, agreements, disclosures or other communications that DataCo sends to you electronically are deemed to satisfy any legal communication requirements. You may opt out from receiving our communications by contacting DataCo at info@placeholder.com or selecting to unsubscribe as may be provided in the applicable correspondence.

5. Listings and Content

5.1 When creating a Listing through the DataCo Service, the Landlord must (i) provide complete and accurate information about the Premises (such as description, location, square footage, amenities, and calendar availability), (ii) disclose any deficiencies and restrictions, and (iii) provide any other pertinent information requested by DataCo. The Landlord is responsible for keeping its Listing information up‑to‑date at all times by immediately notifying DataCo of any changes.

5.2 The Landlord is solely responsible for setting the rent (including any taxes if applicable) for its Listing. Once a Tenant submits an Offer, the Landlord may not request that the Tenant pays a higher rent than the amount stated in the Listing at the time the Offer was made.

5.3 Any terms and conditions included in a Listing must not conflict with these Terms.

5.4 Images used in a Listing must accurately reflect the quality and condition of the Premises, any furnishings, equipment or other personal property located in, on or around the Premises that is owned by the Landlord, any shared conference rooms, office equipment, and kitchenettes or other designated shared space, the portions of a building designed for common use of tenants and others, and the building in which a Premises is located. DataCo reserves the right to require that Listings have a minimum number of images of a certain format, size and resolution.

5.5 When a Landlord accepts an Offer, the Tenant and Landlord acknowledge that they are entering into an agreement with one another, to which DataCo is not a party. The Landlord agrees that upon acceptance of an Offer by a Landlord, the Landlord will enter into a Rental Agreement with the Tenant to govern the Members’ obligations with respect to the Rental Agreement.

5.6 The Landlord represents and warrants that any Listings posted and the leasing of, or a Tenant’s use of, a Premises will (i) not breach any agreements the Landlord has entered into with any third parties, including but not limited to Agreements in relation to property management, leases, subleases, or other agreements, and (ii) comply with all applicable laws (such as zoning laws), taxes, and other rules and regulations (including having all required permits, licenses and registrations). The Landlord acknowledges that DataCo has not provided any advice, legal or otherwise, as to whether Landlord is in compliance with subsection (i) above. The Landlord represents and warrants that any Premises it offers in a Listing hereunder is free of any known conditions or defects that would pose a hazard to or risk the safety of any Tenant or a Tenant’s or Landlord’s employees, agents, guests, invitees, contractors or subcontractors (“Users”). The Landlord is responsible for its own acts and omissions and is also responsible for the acts and omissions of its employees or any other individuals who are otherwise present at the Premises at the Landlord’s request or invitation, excluding the Tenant and its Users.

5.7 By creating, uploading, posting, sending, receiving, storing, or otherwise making available any Member Content on or through the DataCo Platform, you hereby grant to DataCo a non‑exclusive, worldwide, royalty‑free, irrevocable, perpetual, sub‑licensable and transferable license to such Member Content to access, use, store, copy, modify, prepare derivative works of, distribute, publish, transmit, stream, broadcast, and otherwise exploit in any manner such Member Content to provide and/or promote the DataCo Platform, in any media or platform. Without limiting any other provision hereunder, insofar as Member Content (including verified images) includes personal information, such Member Content will only be used for these purposes if such use complies with applicable data protection laws in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Unless you provide specific consent, DataCo does not claim any ownership rights in any Member Content and nothing in these Terms will be deemed to restrict any rights that you may have to use or exploit your Member Content.

5.8 You are responsible for ensuring that your Premises is accurately represented in the images you add to your Listing and you will stop using the images on or through the DataCo Platform if they no longer accurately represent your Premises, if you stop offering the Premises featured, or if your DataCo Account is terminated or suspended for any reason. You acknowledge and agree that DataCo shall have the right to use any uploaded images for advertising, marketing and/or any other business purposes in any media or platform, whether in relation to your Listing or otherwise, without further notice or compensation to you.

5.9 You are solely responsible for all Member Content that you make available on or through the DataCo Platform. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that: (i) you either are the sole and exclusive owner of all Member Content that you make available on or through the DataCo Platform or you have all rights, licenses, consents and releases that are necessary to grant to DataCo the rights in and to such Member Content, as contemplated under these Terms; and (ii) neither the Member Content nor your posting, uploading, publication, submission or transmittal of the Member Content or DataCo’s use of the Member Content (or any portion thereof) as contemplated under these Terms will infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party’s patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, moral rights or other proprietary or intellectual property rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation.

5.10 DataCo may, without prior notice, remove or disable access to any Member Content that DataCo finds to be in violation of applicable law, these Terms, or otherwise may be harmful or objectionable to DataCo, Members, third parties, or property.

5.11 Notwithstanding anything else in the Agreement or otherwise, DataCo may monitor your use of the DataCo Service and the DataCo Platform and use data and information related to Member Content and your use of the DataCo Service in an aggregate or de-identified manner, including without limitation to compile statistical and performance information related to the provision and operation of the DataCo Service and the DataCo Platform and to test or improve operation of the DataCo Service and DataCo Platform. You agree that DataCo may make such data and information publicly available, and use such information for any purpose, including without limitation as required by applicable law or regulation and/or for purposes of data gathering, analysis, service enhancement, improvements to the DataCo Services or DataCo Platform and marketing, provided that such data and information does not identify you or your confidential information. DataCo retains all intellectual property rights in such data and information.

6. Ratings and Reviews

6.1 Within a certain timeframe after entering into a Rental Agreement, Tenants and Landlords may be able to leave a public review (“Review”) and submit a star rating (“Rating”) about each other. Ratings or Reviews reflect the opinions of individual Members and do not reflect the opinion of DataCo. Ratings and Reviews are not verified by DataCo for accuracy and may be incorrect or misleading.

6.2 Ratings and Reviews by Tenants and Landlords must be accurate and may not contain any offensive or defamatory language.

6.3 Members are prohibited from manipulating the Ratings and Reviews system in any manner, such as instructing a third party to write a positive or negative Review about another Member.

15. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

15.1 Overview of Dispute Resolution Process. This Agreement provides for a two‑part dispute resolution process for Landlords: (i) an informal negotiation directly with DataCo, and (ii) confidential arbitration before a single arbitrator. If you are located in Canada, the arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. and the seat and location of the arbitration will be in Ontario, Canada. If you are located in the United States, the arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association and the seat and location of the arbitration will be in the State of New Jersey. All decisions of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on both parties and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. The language of the arbitration will be English unless otherwise required by applicable law or agreed to by the Member and DataCo.

15.2 Pre‑Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. Prior to initiating an arbitration, the Landlord and DataCo each agree to notify the other party of the dispute or controversy between a Landlord and DataCo, including any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the DataCo Service, any DataCo Policies, any interactions or transactions between a Landlord and DataCo, or in respect of any legal relationship associated with or derived from this Agreement, including the validity, existence, breach, termination, construction, application or enforceability, or the rights, duties or obligations of a Landlord or DataCo (“Dispute”) and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first. If after a good faith effort to negotiate one party feels the Dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration.

15.3 Agreement to Arbitrate. The Landlord and DataCo mutually agree that Disputes will be settled by binding individual arbitration. If there is a dispute about whether this agreement to arbitrate can be enforced or applies to the Dispute, the Landlord and DataCo agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.

15.4 Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. The Landlord and DataCo each agree that the following claims are exceptions to the agreement to arbitrate and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) Any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) Any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, or cyber‑attack); and (iii) small claims actions brought in the state court in which Landlord or DataCo is located if such court has a small claims procedure and if such court is located in the United States.

15.5 Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.

15.6 Jury Trial Waiver. THE LANDLORD AND DATACO ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT EACH ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ALL ARBITRABLE DISPUTES.

15.7 No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. The Landlord and DataCo acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each are waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class‑wide arbitration, private attorney general action, or any other representative proceeding as to all Disputes. Further, unless the Landlord and DataCo both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If the “class action lawsuit” waiver or the “class‑wide arbitration” waiver in this section is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, then the agreement to arbitrate will be deemed void with respect to such Dispute and the Dispute must proceed in court. If the “private attorney general action” waiver or the “representative proceeding” waiver in this section is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, those waivers may be severed from this section and the Landlord and DataCo agree that any private attorney general claims and representative claims in the Dispute will be severed and stayed, pending the resolution of any arbitrable claims in the Dispute in arbitration.

16.11 Any notices or other communications between Members as permitted and required hereunder by DataCo must be sent by email to an email address provided by DataCo or by other method of communication as agreed to by the relevant Members.

(“Placeholder”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and discloses your personal information (“Personal Information”) through the DataCo Service and Subscription Service, excluding Lead Assistant Subscription which is governed by Lead Assistant Privacy Policy. “Personal Information” includes any information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify a single person or to identify an individual in context.

This Privacy Policy sets out how we handle Personal Information that we gather when you are using the DataCo Service and Subscription Service. It does not cover the practices of individuals, companies and entities we do not own, control or manage.

If we need to use Personal Information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

  1. How We Share Information

We may disclose the Personal Information we collect from you through the DataCo Service or Subscription Service:

  • to service providers who work on our behalf and who have agreed to use the Personal Information solely in furtherance of our operations, including, but not limited to, service providers who deliver marketing communications, promotional materials, or advertisements that may be of interest to you on our behalf; provide payment services; verify your identity or authenticate your identification documents and check information against public databases; conduct background or police checks, fraud prevention, and risk assessment; perform product development, maintenance and debugging; or allow the provision of the DataCo Service or Subscription Service through third party services and software tools;
  • where you have provided express and prior consent and where permissible according to applicable law, to social media platforms such as Facebook or Google to generate leads, drive traffic to our website or otherwise promote the DataCo Service or Subscription Service;
  • to other Members to help facilitate Leases, as necessary for the performance of the contract between you and us;
  • to landlords, management companies, or property owners, in order to facilitate working with these partners;
  • to a government institution that has asserted its lawful authority to obtain the information or where DataCo or Placeholder has reasonable grounds to believe the information could be useful in the investigation of unlawful activity, or to comply with a subpoena or warrant or an order made by a court, person or body with jurisdiction to compel the production of information, or to comply with court rules regarding the production of records and information, or to DataCo’s or Placeholder’s legal counsel;
  • when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary (a) to protect our rights, the integrity of the DataCo Service or Subscription Service, or your safety or the safety of others, or (b) to detect, prevent, or respond to fraud, intellectual property infringement, violations of our terms of use or other legal agreements, violations of law, or other misuse of the DataCo Service or Subscription Service;
  • to any of the companies and business entities that form part of the Placeholder group (i.e. PlaceHolder Inc., and PlaceHolder Payments Canada Inc.) in order to serve you better and to provide you with information about our affiliates’ products and services; and
  • to affiliates, service providers, advisors, and other third parties to the extent reasonably necessary to proceed with the negotiation or completion of a merger, dissolution, bankruptcy, acquisition, or sale of DataCo or Placeholder or all or a portion of our assets or other business transfers, but DataCo or Placeholder will require the acquiring organization to agree to protect the privacy of Personal Information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.

We may also share or sell aggregated information (information about our users that we combine together so that it no longer identifies or references an individual user) and other anonymized information for regulatory compliance, industry and market analysis, research, demographic profiling, marketing and advertising, and other business purposes.

Please note that DataCo and Placeholder has social media channels that utilize first and third-party vendor remarketing tracking cookies, including the Google Ads tracking cookie, Twillio Segment, Facebook, and LinkedIn remarketing cookies. This means we will show ads to you across the Internet, specifically on the Google Content Network (GCN), Facebook, and Linkedln. This data may also be shared with trusted third party vendors that utilize this data to create promotion campaigns for other related companies. As always, we respect your privacy and are not collecting any identifiable information through the use of Google’s or any other third party remarketing system. The first- and third-party vendors, including Google, whose services we use, will place cookies on web browsers in order to serve ads based on past visits to our website. This allows us to make major announcements and continue to market our services to those who have shown interest in our service. The DataCo Service also uses Google Analytics, Segment, Google Tag Manager, and Amplitude to help collect and analyze certain information for the purposes discussed above. You may opt out of the use of cookies by Google Analytics here.

You may opt out of the automated collection of information by third-party ad networks for the purpose of delivering advertisements tailored to your interests, by visiting the consumer opt-out page for the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioural Advertising at http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and edit or opt-out your Google Display Network ads’ preferences at http://www.google.com/ads/preferences/. Please note that the DataCo Service currently does not respond to “Do Not Track” signals.

Please also note that the DataCo Service and Subscription Service allows you to publish information, including Personal Information, that is visible to the general public. For example, parts of your public profile (such as your name and your city) and Premises (and their addresses, descriptions, availability, photos, and additional information you provide) are publicly visible. Tenants and Landlords may write Reviews and rate each other. Reviews and Ratings are a part of your public profile and may also be surfaced elsewhere on the DataCo or Subscription Service.

Based on our legitimate interest to promote the DataCo Service or Subscription Service, we may display parts of the DataCo Service or Subscription Service on sites operated by DataCo’s business partners, using technologies such as widgets or APIs. If your Listings are displayed on a partner’s site, information from your public profile may also be displayed. Information you share publicly on the DataCo Service or Subscription Service may be indexed through third party search engines. In some cases, you may opt out of this feature in your Account settings. If you change your settings or your public facing content, these search engines may not update their databases. We do not control the practices of third party search engines, and they may use caches containing your outdated information.

Landlords may need to use third party security service providers approved by DataCo in connection with their use of the DataCo Service, in accordance with the Terms. Landlords may use features on the DataCo Service to share information about the Tenant (like names and telephone numbers) with such third party security service providers for the purposes of managing a Lease or providing other services. Landlords are responsible for third party service providers they use and ensuring those service providers process Tenant information securely and in compliance with applicable law including data privacy and data protection laws.

If you would prefer for us NOT to share your information as described above, simply inform us (see the Contact Us section below).

  1. Third Party Links

You have the right to request the deletion of your Personal Information at any time.  Upon your request, we will delete your data unless we are legally required to retain it.

  1. Data Transfers and Processing

We, or a service provider acting on our behalf, may process, store, and transfer Personal Information in and to a foreign country with different privacy laws that may not be as comprehensive as the laws of the country you are based in. In these circumstances, the governments, courts, law enforcement, or regulatory agencies of that country may be able to access Personal Information through the laws of the foreign country. Whenever we engage a service provider, we require that its privacy and security standards adhere to this policy and applicable privacy legislation. Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your Personal information out of your home jurisdiction.

  1. How We Protect Information

The security of Personal Information is very important to us. We use administrative, technical, and physical measures to secure Personal Information against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, loss, destruction, or alteration. Some of the safeguards we use to protect your information are firewalls and data encryption, and information access controls.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of the DataCo Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of Personal Information transmitted to our website. Any transmission of Personal Information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on our website.

  • to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority; and
  • where our processing of Personal Information is based on consent, to withdraw that consent without detriment at any time.
