WHEREAS, Customer desires to access and use the Platform to view and use Aggregated Data for markets selected by Customer (“Select Data”), and ReloQuest desires to provide Customer with access to and use the Platform to view the Select Data, pursuant to this Terms and Conditions.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions set forth in this Terms and Conditions, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, ReloQuest and Customer hereby agree as follows:

  1. PLATFORM AND DATA.
    1. Platform Access.  In consideration for Customer paying ReloQuest the License Fee (as defined below), and pursuant to this Terms and Conditions, Customer may access and use the Platform to view the Select Data during the Term (as defined below) (“Platform Access”).
    2. Data License.  In consideration for Customer paying ReloQuest the License Fee, and pursuant to this Terms and Conditions, ReloQuest hereby grants Customer with a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, and non-transferable right and license to view and use the Select Data during the Term (“License”).
    3. Data Availability. During the Term, ReloQuest will cause the Select Data to be available for the Customer to view and use via the Platform.
    4. Data Disclaimers.  The Select Data provided through the Platform is intended to assist Customer in making informed decisions based on market trends and dynamics. However, it is important to acknowledge that variations in Select Data may occur due to factors such as the filters applied, demand fluctuations, market seasonality, and other criteria. While ReloQuest works diligently to provide comprehensive data for all bedroom types, Customer should be aware that the availability of data for specific categories, such as studios and 3 bedrooms, may, at times, be subject to more limitations. These limitations can be influenced by factors beyond ReloQuest’s control, including, but not limited to, the level of market activity, data source availability, and regional peculiarities. Customer is encouraged to use discretion and consider the inherent variability in market conditions when interpreting and using the Select Data as the fluctuations in data availability don’t constitute a breach or refund. By accessing and using the Platform, Customer acknowledges and accepts the inherent uncertainties in market data, understanding that the information provided is subject to change and may not always reflect real-time conditions. Customer should conduct additional research and analysis as Customer deems necessary.
    5. Restrictions. Without the express written consent of ReloQuest, Customer shall not, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, do or attempt to do any of the following (collectively, the “Restrictions”):
