BRIVITY BROKER IDX WEBSITE

Clients who purchase a subscription to Brivity’s broker IDX website will be provided with a customized instance of customer-facing Brivity broker IDX website (“Website”), subject to the following conditions:

MLS/IDX Integration

Brivity shall integrate Client’s MLS IDX data feed with those MLS Boards identified by Client. In some instances, Brivity may, at its sole and absolute discretion, configure multiple MLS feeds into a single platform. Multiple MLS feeds may be subject to additional charges to be determined by Brivity.

Client warrants that: (1) Client is an owner/operator or a licensed agent with a brokerage; (2) Client is an active and licensed member of its respective MLS; (3) Client maintains its own MLS/IDX account with said MLS, and is not a licensee of such an account from a third party; (4) Client shall obtain and maintain all appropriate licenses to secure an IDX feed from its respective MLS; and (5) Client shall obey all rules and regulations, necessary to obtain said IDX feed.

Client agrees to promptly notify Brivity of any change to the IDX data feed or MLS user agreement that may affect the Site, including changes to Brivity’s Client’s right to use or integrate MLS data on or into the Site.

Client understands and agrees that if Client’s IDX provider or MLS Board(s) mandate changes in code, display, charges, or other requirements for use on the Site, Brivity may, at its sole and absolute discretion, elect to refuse to comply with said mandate(s). If this occurs, Client agrees that Brivity shall have no liability to Client for such non-compliance and/or any resulting termination of access to the data feed.

Hosting

Excluding scheduled maintenance and circumstances beyond Brivity’s control (e.g. telecommunications failures, denial of service attacks, force majeure events, etc.), Brivity will use reasonable effort and care to ensure that the Site will be accessible at least 98% of the time on a monthly basis.

Brivity CRM

Brivity will provide Client with one instance of Brivity CRM account. Client may only permit up to the maximum number of unique users to use its Brivity CRM account, as specified in your Brivity Receipt of Purchase.

Client understands and agrees that features of the Brivity CRM may periodically change and Brivity reserves the right to charge for new features that may be included in future releases.

Brivity Leads, Advertising, and Marketing Tools

Brivity warrants to use commercially reasonable efforts and its best, professional judgment to provide its leads, advertising, and marketing services; nevertheless, Brivity does not guarantee any level of traffic to the Site or that Client’s revenues or profits will increase as the result of said service.

Customer Support and Training Services

Brivity provides its Clients with a wide variety of customer support and training services, including webinars, online articles, and in-person support via email, chat, or over the phone. Brivity reserves the right to periodically, update and change the services offered. Brivity may offer certain services and training modules at an additional fee.

Set-up Fee

Client agrees to pay Brivity a one time, non-refundable set-up fee, the cost of which shall be stipulated in your Brivity Receipt of Purchase.

Launch Date

Client agrees to provide Brivity, within seven (7) business days of Client’s executed agreement, access to the IDX data feed and other information, such as domain name, branding, content, and any other data necessary to implement the services (the “Implementation Data”). Upon receipt of the Implementation Data, Brivity will notify Client of the launch date for Client’s website. Failure to provide the Implementation Data within seven (7) business days may result in a delay in the launch date, or at Brivity’s sole and absolute discretion, Brivity may launch Client’s website using only the Implementation Data Brivity then possesses.

Client’s refusal or unnecessary delay in providing the Implementation Data shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and result in the termination of this Agreement. In the event that this Agreement is terminated, Client understands and agrees that the Purchase Price and any set-up fees are non-refundable.

Domain Name and Content

Brivity reserves the right to refuse the use of any domain name or content for any reason in its sole and absolute discretion, including, but not limited to material that Brivity considers to be illegal, offensive, a violation of another party’s rights, or otherwise inappropriate.

Branding

Client warrants that all Client provided branding shall be compliant with all applicable federal, state and local laws, as well as all Multiple Listing Service (MLS) requirements. Client shall be solely responsible for any Client provided branding that is not compliant with applicable laws, MLS requirements, or infringes the rights of third parties.

Client Users

Brivity CRM clients will be provided with one Brivity CRM account. Client may only permit up to the maximum number of unique users to use its Brivity CRM account, as specified in Client’s Brivity Receipt of Purchase.

Payment

Client agrees to pay all amounts promptly when due as stipulated on the Client’s Brivity Receipt of Purchase. Any fees not paid within seven (7) business days of the due date will be assessed a 10% late fee (“Late Fee”). If Client fails to pay any amounts due, including any Late Fees, within thirty (30) days of the due date, Brivity may, at its sole and absolute discretion, suspend the Services or terminate the Agreement.

Fraudulent Credit Card Charges or Fraudulent Claims

All requests to negate charges are investigated by our legal department. If you make a fraudulent claim of unauthorized card usage, we will report this to the credit card services. A fraudulent report may result in cancellation of card services, negative information on your credit report, even the possibility of criminal charges filed against you.

Term

The initial term of the Client’s monthly subscription will commence on the Launch Date and will automatically renew the following month, and each month thereafter, on the anniversary date of my Sign Up Date.

Effect of Termination

Upon termination of this Agreement, Client has no further right to access or use the Website or any of the Services stipulated in this Agreement or in the Client’s Brivity Receipt of Purchase. All licenses granted to Client hereunder shall terminate. Any obligations and liabilities of the Client incurred prior to the termination date shall survive the termination of this Agreement for all purposes.

Refund Policy

Since Brivity is offering non-tangible, irrevocable goods Client understands and agrees that the Purchase Price, any set-up fees, and any other amounts due Brivity are non-refundable. However, if Brivity elects to execute a Termination ‘without cause’ then Brivity will refund to client a pro-rated share of the purchase price, minus any and all set-up fees.
