IN NO EVENT WILL WILLIAM RAVEIS OR ANY OF OUR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS) ARISING OUT OF, BASED ON, OR RESULTING FROM THESE TERMS OF USE OR YOUR USE OR ACCESS, OR INABILITY TO USE OR ACCESS, THE SERVICES OR ANY MATERIALS ON THE SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON: (A) BREACH OF CONTRACT; (B) BREACH OF WARRANTY; (C) NEGLIGENCE; OR (D) ANY OTHER CAUSE OF ACTION, EVEN IF WILLIAM RAVEIS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

15. Arbitration

Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to or in connection with these Terms of Use, including the breach, termination or validity thereof, shall be finally resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The number of arbitrators shall be one (1), and the place of arbitration shall be the State of Connecticut. The arbitration shall be held, and the award shall be rendered, in English. The tribunal shall have the power to rule on any challenge to its own jurisdiction or to the validity or enforceability of any portion of the agreement to arbitrate.

The parties agree to arbitrate solely on an individual basis, and that this agreement does not permit class arbitration, or any claims brought as a plaintiff or member in any class or representative arbitration proceeding. The arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. Notwithstanding the tribunal's power to rule on its own jurisdiction and the validity or enforceability of the agreement to arbitrate, the tribunal has no power to rule on the validity or enforceability of the agreement to arbitrate solely on an individual basis.

In the event the prohibition on class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the remaining portions of the arbitration agreement will remain in force.


16. Governing Law

All matters relating to the Site and these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Connecticut, excluding any principles or rules of law that may direct the application of the law of another state.


17. General.

You agree not to export from anywhere any part of the Services provided to you, or any direct product thereof, except in compliance with, and with all licenses and approvals required under, applicable export laws, rules and regulations. All Services used by the U.S. Government are provided with the commercial license rights described herein. These Terms of Use may be amended only by a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of the parties to these Terms of Use. If any part of these Terms of Use is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be replaced with a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of these Terms of Use will continue in effect. The section titles in these Terms of Use are used solely for the convenience of the parties and have no legal or contractual significance. We may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time with or without notice to you. You may not assign these Terms of Use, or assign, transfer or sublicense your rights, if any, in the Services. Our failure to act with respect to a breach, or our choice to otherwise waive breach by you or others, does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. Except as expressly stated herein, these Terms of Use, and all expressly incorporated terms and agreements, constitute the entire agreement between you and William Raveis with respect to the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications of any kind between you and William Raveis with respect to the Services.


18. Consent to Communications.

By using the Services, you consent to receiving certain electronic communications from William Raveis and our affiliate companies. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures, surveys, or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that those communications be in writing.

Communications through these methods may be routed through a third-party service (“Communications Service”). Calls may be recorded or monitored for quality assurance, training, or customer service purposes. You will be notified at the beginning of a call if it may be recorded or monitored. You consent to such recording and monitoring William Raveis or the Communications Service. We also use the Communications Service to track phone calls and text messages between you and real estate professionals so that we and the real estate professional can access certain details about the contact. As part of this process, we and the Communications Service will receive in real time, and store, data about your call or text message, including the date and time of the call or text message, your phone number, and the content of the text message. You consent to these practices by us and the Communications Service.


19. Waiver and Severability

No waiver by William Raveis of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of William Raveis to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.


20. Modification

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify or replace any of these Terms of Use (including, without limitation, William Raveis’ Privacy Policies, for the avoidance of doubt), or change, suspend, limit, or discontinue the Services (including, without limitation, the availability of any feature, database, or content) at any time. If such modification is material, we will post a notice on the Site or send you notice by another appropriate means of electronic communication. It is your responsibility to check these Terms of Use periodically for changes.
