1. How the Services Work.
1.1 Generally. TenantBase is a service that is designed to connect businesses searching for commercial space with licensed real estate service professionals, owners, and landlords who are leasing commercial space. You may use the Services as a Tenant, Broker, or Leasing Community, as described below. Note that when we use the term “you” throughout these Terms of Use, “you” refers to you, as a Tenant, Broker, or Leasing Community, unless otherwise specified as applying only to Leasing Community, only to Brokers, or only to Tenants. TenantBase is not responsible for the work performed or the services provided by real estate Brokers in connection with the evaluation of commercial spaces and consummation of commercial transactions between Tenants and Leasing Communities.
(a) Tenants. Our Services offer potential tenants (each, a “Tenant” and collectively, the “Tenants”) the ability to search and find commercial space for lease or purchase through Listing Content that is posted on our Website by the Leasing Community or through connection to a Broker. As a Tenant, you will also have access to our TenantBase advisors and partners (“Broker”), who are licensed real estate brokers with industry knowledge and available to assist you with evaluating commercial spaces and consummating commercial transactions with the Leasing Community. TenantBase works with Brokers that are licensed real estate professionals in the markets we provide Services to Tenants.
(b) Leasing Communities. Our Services allow property owners or their designated representatives (each, a “Leasing Community” and collectively the “Leasing Communities”) to submit data, content, and information on commercial spaces for lease to list on the Website (“Listing Content”) and to access our database of Tenants desiring to lease commercial real estate. TenantBase does not represent Leasing Communities in any real estate transaction(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, TenantBase may, at Tenant’s request, submit requests for additional information to such Leasing Communities and act as a conduit between Tenant and one or more Leasing Communities solely for communication purposes. Leasing Communities agree to compensate TenantBase’s Brokers with a market standard fee agreed upon prior to lease execution for any lease by a Tenant that has been procured by working with a TenantBase Advisor and using the Website and/or our Services.
(c) Brokers. Our Services allow licensed real estate service professionals (each a “Broker” and collectively “Brokers” ) to connect with Leads for commercial real estate transactions. Broker's participation in TenantBase's Services and Broker's access to the TenantBase platform is voluntary, and as applicable, is made pursuant to these Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Brokers receive access to portions of the TenantBase software and sales systems, and in connection with any Leads provided to Broker, Broker agrees to utilize the TenantBase dashboard and tracking processes through transaction completion. Broker is responsible for its provision of real estate services to Leads in connection with the TenantBase Platform, including maintaining proper real estate licensing and compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and Broker agrees to indemnify and hold TenantBase harmless from any claims, costs, and damages arising from claims by third parties in connection with Broker's provision of such real estate services.
On a voluntary basis, TenantBase and Broker may mutually agree to collaborate for Broker to provide commercial real estate brokerage services with Leads (defined herein). Broker may be provided with contacts (including individuals or businesses) searching for or interested in a potential commercial real estate transaction, procured through the TenantBase platform or resulting from other business development efforts of TenantBase (individually, a “Lead”, and collectively, “Leads”). All Leads are categorized as either a Prospect or Referral for purposes of determining a Referral Fee (defined herein) percentage.
The real estate services that the Broker engages in with Leads are expected to produce Brokerage Fees (hereinafter defined). In the event that Broker generates a commission or other payment in connection with the performance of real estate services with Leads, the total value of all compensation generated by Broker prior to deductions of any kind, including any splits or other transaction costs, shall be defined as “Brokerage Fees”. Broker agrees that TenantBase is entitled to, and Broker shall pay to TenantBase a percentage of the Brokerage fees, the “Referral Fee”.
If Broker believes for any reason that a Lead is incorrectly categorized or Broker believes a Lead would not require a Referral Fee to TenantBase, Broker agrees to immediately inform TenantBase in writing of such belief and provide documentation supporting such a claim.
This agreement and referral arrangement is subject to the terms and conditions of any separate Partner Agreement that may have been entered into or may be entered into between TenantBase, on the one hand, and you, your sponsoring brokerage, or another related party, on the other hand (the “Master Agreement” ). Broker, in its individual capacity, agrees to the terms and conditions of this agreement, and acknowledges that Broker's participation in TenantBase's Services and Broker's access to the TenantBase platform is voluntary, and as applicable, is made pursuant to the terms of any Master Agreement. Brokers receive access to portions of the TenantBase software and sales systems, and in connection with Referrals, Broker agrees to utilize the TenantBase dashboard and tracking processes through transaction completion.
Regarding Referral Fees, if Broker believes for any reason that a Lead would not be categorized as a Referral or that such Lead would not require a Referral Fee to TenantBase, Broker agrees to immediately inform TenantBase in writing of such belief and provide documentation supporting such a claim. TenantBase will evaluate such a claim in good faith, but will have the right to make the final determination, which will be made reasonably and in good faith, as to whether a Lead constitutes a Prospect or Referral and associated Referral Fees hereunder. Leads cannot be transferred to another party or terminated, unless agreed to by TenantBase in writing, and in all cases a Referral Fee will still be due and payable to TenantBase for all Referrals provided during the term regardless of when the transaction generating such a Referral Fee is closed. In the event of any transfer of a Lead, the succeeding broker will agree in writing to assume any payment or other obligations with respect to such Referral. Broker is responsible for its provision of real estate services to Leads, including maintaining proper real estate licensing and compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and Broker agrees to indemnify and hold TenantBase harmless from any claims, costs, and damages arising from claims by third parties in connection with Broker's provision of such real estate services.
Referral Fee Payment - Broker shall be responsible for invoicing and collecting all Brokerage Fees directly from landlords, clients or third-parties for payment of Brokerage Fees, and shall provide TenantBase relevant documentation and details related to each transaction as permissible by state law, including but not limited to Broker's associated invoice. Broker shall notify TenantBase immediately upon receipt of Brokerage Fees. TenantBase shall invoice Broker upon lease execution and Broker shall remit all Referral Fees to TenantBase within ten (10) business days of receipt of the applicable Brokerage Fees by Broker. Such Referral Fees will be due and owing to TenantBase regardless of when such Brokerage Fees were received by Broker (including to the extent such Brokerage Fees were received following termination of any subscription or other relationship of the parties.
1.2 Neutral Venue. The Website and our Services comprise an online informational platform through which Tenants may browse Listing Content that is posted by the Leasing Community. The Website acts as a venue to allow Tenants and the Leasing Community to meet online and communicate with one another based on each party’s interest in leasing commercial space.

Leasing Community, not TenantBase, is solely responsible for all Listing Content and the content therein that Leasing Community submits for posting on the Website. Leasing Community hereby grants TenantBase a non-exclusive, fully paid, royalty-free, worldwide right and license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publicly perform, and publicly display the Listing Content (in whole or in part) for the purposes of providing the Services. Following receipt of the Listing Content, TenantBase shall use commercially reasonable efforts to display the Listing Content on the Website.
1.4 No Guarantees. USE OF OUR SERVICES DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT TENANTS WILL BE ABLE TO FIND COMMERCIAL SPACE THAT FITS THEIR NEEDS, TENANTS WILL QUALIFY FOR OR BE APPROVED FOR A LEASE, AND/OR THAT LEASING COMMUNITY WILL FIND A TENANT TO LEASE ITS COMMERCIAL SPACE. Tenants agree that we may disclose, exchange and otherwise provide to Leasing Communities and/or our Brokers any or all information collected by us for the purpose of evaluating your ability to qualify for a lease.

TenantBase is entitled, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, to disclose any information or materials on or in the Services, including Your Content, to (1) comply with applicable laws, legal process or governmental request; (2) enforce the Terms; (3) respond to any claims that Your Content violates the rights of third parties; (4) respond to your requests for customer service; (5) protect the rights, property or personal safety of TenantBase, its Users or the public; or (6) in connection with all enforcement actions or investigations or other government officials, as TenantBase in its sole discretion believes to be necessary or appropriate.
13.2 Breach. In the event that TenantBase determines, in its sole discretion, that you have breached any portion of the Terms, or have otherwise demonstrated conduct inappropriate for the Services, TenantBase reserves the right to:
(a) Warn you via e-mail (to any e-mail address you have provided to TenantBase) that you have violated the Terms;

14. International Users. This Website can be accessed from countries around the world and may contain references to the Services and Content that are not available in your country. These references do not imply that TenantBase intends to announce such Services or Content in your country. The Services are controlled and offered by TenantBase from its facilities in the United States of America. TenantBase makes no representations that the Services are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use the Services from other jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law.
15. Arbitration Agreement. Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with TenantBase and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
15.1 Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute, claim, or request for relief relating in any way to your access or use of the Website, to any products sold or distributed through the Website, or to any aspect of your relationship with TenantBase, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if your claims qualify; and (2) you or TenantBase may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all disputes or claims and requests for relief that arose or were asserted before the effective date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement.
15.2 Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your dispute or claim or request for relief to our registered agent: Corporation Service, 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, Delaware 19808. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims, counterclaims, or request for relief under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other disputes shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, TenantBase will pay them for you. In addition, TenantBase will reimburse all such JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for disputes, claims, or requests for relief totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.
You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
15.3 Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any assertion that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and TenantBase. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
15.4 Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND TENANTBASE HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and TenantBase are instead electing that all disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 15.1 above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
15.5 Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS, AND REQUESTS FOR RELIEF WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a given dispute, claim, or request for relief, then such aspect must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in the State of California. All other disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be arbitrated.
15.6 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: team@tenantbase.com, within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your TenantBase username (if any), the email address you used to set up your TenantBase account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
15.7 Severability. Except as provided in Section 15.5, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
15.8 Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with TenantBase.
15.9 Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if TenantBase makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing TenantBase at the following address: TenantBase, Inc., 2934 Sidco Dr, Suite 110, Nashville, TN 37204.

If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states, “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
16.3 Assignment. The Terms, and your rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without TenantBase’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void.

16.7 Notice. Where TenantBase requires that you provide an e-mail address, you are responsible for providing TenantBase with your most current e-mail address. In the event that the last e-mail address you provided to TenantBase is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required/ permitted by the Terms, TenantBase’s dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice. You may give notice to TenantBase at the following address: TenantBase, Inc., 2934 Sidco Dr, Suite 110, Nashville, TN 37204. Such notice shall be deemed given when received by TenantBase by letter delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or first class postage prepaid mail at the above address.
16.8 Waiver. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of the Terms on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.
16.9 Severability. If any provision of the Terms is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of the Terms will remain enforceable, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.
