GENERAL PROVISIONS
Membership Privileges
Membership privileges are granted by REI Blogger to individuals exclusively and are granted specifically to the subscribing registered member only. No employee, independent contractor, agent, or affiliate of a competing real estate information service is permitted to access any of the Password Protected Areas of the REI Blogger web site without express written permission from REI Blogger. Membership rights cannot be assigned, sublicensed, distributed, shared, viewed, accessed, or otherwise transferred to anyone other than the registered member without the express written permission of REI Blogger. REI Blogger requires that each registered user maintain a valid email address and a password, which shall be utilized for logging on to the REI Blogger system. Members are not permitted to share their individual logon information with others. REI Blogger has the right to refuse service to any member, individual, organization, or firm (and all members associated or affiliated with said organization or firm) that refuses to abide by the terms and conditions herein, refuses to abide by the Listing Policies as posted and displayed on the REI Blogger website, or abuses their rights related to the REI Blogger service. Upon registration, which is free, Customer becomes a Basic Member. A Basic Member may search the REI Blogger property listings Service, and will receive a subset of results of the available properties matching the Customer’s designated search parameters. In order to view all the available results for a given search, the Customer must upgrade to a Premium Subscription. A Basic Member may also list properties on the Service, but such Customer’s listings will only be able to be fully accessed and viewed in the search results of Premium Subscribers.
REI Blogger utilizes email as a vital and primary communication channel with customers. As a registered user, Customers hereby acknowledge and grant REI Blogger the permission to communicate with customers via email (as well as other communication channel such as phone and fax) for any purposes REI Blogger determines to be relevant including, but not limited to, system messages, product updates, service announcements and other marketing messages. REI Blogger will use best efforts to honor Customer’s request to opt out of marketing messages, but under no circumstances will REI Blogger have any liability for sending any email to its registered users/customers.
Submission and Administration of Listings
Listings that are not modified or renewed within a 30-day period are no longer viewable on REI Blogger.com. Customer agrees not to submit any property descriptions, photographs, financial, contact or other information contained in each Property’s data to REI Blogger unless the Customer has received all necessary rights and authorizations, including from the photographer and/or copyright owner of any photographs, to publish and advertise the Property on the Customer’s website or on REI Blogger website. Specifically, Customer will not submit a photograph if Customer received the photograph from a third party information provider under the terms of a license that does not allow posting of such photograph on the REI Blogger website. The Company may, in its sole discretion but without any obligation to search for such, remove Properties that are alleged to have been submitted in violation of this provision. In addition, the Company may require additional evidence of compliance with this provision from Customers who are alleged to have submitted Properties or other information in violation of this Agreement. The Company will, in its sole discretion, terminate the accounts of, and refuse service to, any Customer who repeatedly or knowingly violates this Agreement. Customer agrees to maintain accurate contact information (specifically, a valid phone number and email address) in order to submit and maintain active property listings on the REI Blogger website. Additionally, the Customer agrees to allow submitted Property listing(s), or any part therein, to be searched, displayed, accessed, downloaded, copied, and otherwise referred to by users of the Customer’s website, the REI Blogger website and other REI Blogger partner websites. The Company shall have the sole authority to choose the manner in which any Property will be searched, displayed, accessed, downloaded, copied, and otherwise used on the REI Blogger website and Company shall have the right to modify the property listing in the exercise of its rights under this Agreement. The Customer (a) represents and warrants that all Properties and associated information provided by the Customer will be accurate; (b) agrees that the Customer will not permit the posting of a property on the REI Blogger system under a name other than the named licensed real estate agents that have been engaged by the property owner to market the property under the terms of a duly executed listing agreement with the owner; (c) agrees to administer the Properties provided by the Customer and maintain their accuracy at all times. The Company reserves, in a manner consistent with reasonable commercial business practices, the right to remove all or any part of the Properties posted on the Customer’s website or on the REI Blogger website. The Company accepts no responsibility for checking the accuracy of reports or data files submitted by the Customer. While the Company shall take all reasonable efforts for data backup and business resumption, the Customer will be solely responsible for retaining back-up copies of all information, photographs and other materials it provides to REI Blogger. REI Blogger may add digital watermarks to certain parts of your property listing, including photographs. We add these digital watermarks to protect against the copying or further distribution of your photographs without your permission.
Use of Information
Customer agrees to treat all information obtained from the Service, including listings, member directory, and any information otherwise made available to Customer in the Service (individually and collectively, the “Content”) as proprietary to REI Blogger. Customer agrees that Content reserved for members will be maintained as confidential and shall be protected as a trade secret of REI Blogger. REI Blogger does not ensure the accuracy of, endorse or recommend any Content and Customer uses such Content at the Customer’s own risk. Customer may access the active property listings in the Service solely to obtain initial information from which further evaluation and investigation may commence.
Customer shall limit access to and use of active property listings, member directory, REI Blogger Market Reports information to personal and internal use, and shall not use any information obtained from the Service for further distribution, publication, public display, or preparation of derivative works or facilitate any of these activities in any way. Customer shall not use or reproduce any Content that is obtained from the Service, or that is otherwise made available to Customer in the Service, for or in connection with any other listing service or device. Customer further shall not use the Service in any other manner for or in connection with any other listing service or device. Customer shall not use the REI Blogger Service as part of any effort to compete with REI Blogger, including without limitation using the REI Blogger Service to provide, alone or in combination with any other product or service, any database services to any third party or any use that causes a reduction or loss from an existing or potential REI Blogger customer, nor shall Customer remove, erase, or tamper with any copyright or other proprietary notice printed or stamped on, affixed to, or encoded or recorded in the REI Blogger Service. Customer shall not use any robot, spider or other automated process to monitor, data mine or copy REI Blogger products, services or information; decompile, decode or reverse engineer REI Blogger software; or use REI Blogger products or services in an unlawful manner, such as for offensive, abusive, tortuous, libelous, defamatory or other illegal purposes. Customers violating these specific terms, specifically those customers searching the Service in an abusive or excessive manner, by automated or manual means, shall be subject to immediate termination of their membership and will be assessed an excessive use fee of $500.

Nature of Customer’s Business
If Customer or an Affiliate of Customer owns properties and intends to market them directly via the Service, such Customer represents to REI Blogger that it either (a) markets, using its own facilities, more than 2/3 of those properties which it owns and controls, or (b) markets properties for third parties where such third party brokerage services account for more than twenty percent (20%) of the total revenues of the entity.
Payment Terms

Payment of fees shall not be contingent on any events other than the delivery of the ordered Deliverables. Any attorney fees, court costs, or other costs incurred in collection of delinquent undisputed amounts shall be the responsibility of and paid for by Customer. If payment is not current, REI Blogger may immediately cease to provide any and all Deliverables to the customer. The fees paid for monthly subscriptions are non-refundable, regardless of whether the subscription is terminated prior to the end of the then-current monthly billing period. Prepaid fees will be refunded based on the number of months remaining on the contract period, beginning with the month following receipt of written cancellation, but may be subject to adjustment according to current monthly product pricing and subject to adjustment for any incentives or discounts provided for said prepayment. A customer choosing to cancel a prepaid subscription prior to the end of its prepaid term may also be subject to a $15 processing fee. No partial month refunds will be provided.
Subscriptions will automatically renew using the Customer’s current credit card account number unless Customer cancels their subscription on the REI Blogger Web site at three (3) days prior to the renewal date to cancel such subscription. All cancellation requests will be processed within five (5) business days.

The Company will provide timely notice to the affected Customers of any such changes.
It is the Customer’s responsibility to promptly provide the Company with any contact or billing information changes or updates (including phone number, email address, credit card numbers, etc.).
