1. How Our Services Work
1.1 Generally
The Services are a set of tools to assist stakeholders in the commercial real estate industry. Our stakeholders include commercial real estate brokers, buyers, sellers, lenders, etc. Key aspects of our offering include an online marketplace, property listing page, among others. Ultimately, however, all such transactions are themselves governed by purchase and sale agreements or other transaction documents between buyers, sellers, brokers, and other involved parties (“Transaction Documents”). From time to time we may also provide other paid products and services, such as comparison data reports.
1.2 Relationship between Users and Us
The Services simply offer tools to help you through the commercial real estate purchase/sale process; we are not a party to, nor are we responsible in any manner for, any such transaction, whether or not you use the Services, and we are not licensed real estate brokers.
We have no responsibility for any information provided by third-parties, including but not limited to buyers, sellers, brokers, and other involved parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each buyer is solely responsible for conducting all necessary due diligence activities regarding any property, which may include title and legal status, current and potential valuations, physical condition and aesthetic/tenant improvement attributes, environmental reports, encumbrances, rent roll and pending lease negotiations, tenant defaults or issues and any other pertinent information. Buyers are encouraged to consult with licensed professionals to review all relevant information, records, and reports. Buyers assume all risk and potential liability related to due diligence activities. We do not verify the completeness or accuracy of any information or materials provided by sellers or brokers.
Any disputes between users of the Services are solely between such users. You acknowledge and agree that we have no obligation or responsibility in connection with any such disputes.
2. General Provisions
2.1 Customers, Authorized Users, and Customer Content
“Customer” or “you” is you, the individual entering into the Agreement on your own behalf or the entity on whose behalf you are entering into this Agreement. If you have purchased a paid membership only you may use your account. You may submit content or information to the Services, which includes Personal Data (defined below) and User Content (defined below) (“Customer Content”). You are solely responsible for all of the acts and omissions of anyone using your account in relation to the Services and the Agreement, including without limitation any Customer Content submitted through such account. The Services are not intended for and should not be used by anyone under the age of 18.
2.2 Memberships
A membership allows you to access the Services. Memberships may be free or paid depending on your relationship with us. Paid memberships allow you to access additional or different features and functionalities, while free memberships provide limited access to the Services. A membership may be procured through the Services interface, or in some cases. Paid memberships commence when we make them available to you. Paid memberships continue for the term specified in the Services or in the Order Form, as applicable (which term may be variable if the Order Form provides for one-time or other limited-time use), and free memberships continue until terminated (in each case, the “Membership Period”).
2.3 Beta Products
Occasionally, we look for beta testers to help us test our new features. These features will be identified as “beta” or “pre-release,” or words or phrases with similar meanings (each, a “Beta Product”). Beta Products are made available on an “as is,” and “as available” basis and, to the extent permitted under applicable law, without any warranties or contractual commitments we make for other Services.
2.4 Feedback
You may choose to, or we may invite you to, submit comments or ideas about the Services, including without limitation about how to improve the Services or our products (“Ideas”). By submitting any Idea, you agree that your disclosure is gratuitous, unsolicited and without restriction and will not place us under any fiduciary or other obligation, and that we are free to use the Idea without any additional compensation, whether to you or anyone else, and/or to disclose the Idea on a non-confidential basis or otherwise to anyone. You further acknowledge that, by acceptance of the submission, we do not waive any rights to use similar or related ideas previously known to us, or developed by our personnel, or obtained from sources other than you. For purposes of clarity, we have no obligation to implement or make any changes to the Services based on any Ideas you provide us.
2.5 Privacy Policy and Protection of Personal Information
The protection of personal information (hereinafter, “Personal Data”) is important to us. Accordingly, we will maintain reasonable administrative, physical, and technical safeguards designed to protect Personal Data. Those safeguards will include measures for preventing unauthorized access, use, modification, deletion and disclosure of Personal Data by our personnel. Before sharing Personal Data with any of our third party service providers, we will ensure that the third party maintains, at a minimum, reasonable data practices for maintaining the confidentiality and security of Personal Data and preventing unauthorized access.
We are custodians of Personal Data. During the Membership Period, you will be permitted to export or share certain Personal Data from the Services; provided, however, that Customer acknowledges and agrees that the ability to export or share Personal Data may be limited or unavailable depending on the type of Services plan in effect and the data retention settings enabled.

We do not make any representations as to the adequacy of the Services to process your Customer Content or to satisfy any legal or compliance requirements which may apply to your Customer Content, other than as described herein.
3.4 Use of the Services
You must comply with the Agreement. We may review conduct for compliance purposes, but we have no obligation to do so. If we believe there is a violation of the Agreement that can be remedied by your removal of certain Customer Content, we will, in most cases, ask you to take direct action rather than intervene. However, to the extent legally permissible, we reserve the right to take further appropriate action, when we deem it reasonably appropriate if you do not take appropriate action, or if we believe there is a credible risk of harm to us, the Services, our other users, or any third parties.
3.5 Acceptable Use

To the extent legally permissible, we reserve the right, but are not obligated, to reject and/or remove any User Content that we believe, in our sole discretion, violates any of these provisions.

4. Term and Termination
4.1 Agreement Term
As further described below, a free membership continues until terminated, while a paid membership has a Membership Period that may expire or be terminated. The Agreement remains effective until all memberships ordered under the Agreement have expired or been terminated or the Agreement itself terminates. Termination of the Agreement will terminate all memberships and all Order Forms.
4.2 Auto-Renewal Memberships and Cancellation
Certain aspects of our Services are available only through paid memberships that automatically renew. MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL FEES WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CHARGED TO YOUR DESIGNATED PAYMENT METHOD AT THE FEE RATE AND BILLING CYCLE ON YOUR ORDER FORM, UNTIL YOU CANCEL. Unless otherwise set forth in an Order Form, (a) all memberships automatically renew for additional periods equal to one (1) year or the preceding Membership Period, whichever is shorter; and (b) the per-unit pricing during any automatic renewal Membership Period will be the then-current price communicated to you by us. Either party can give the other notice of non-renewal at least sixty (60) days before the end of a Membership Period to stop a membership from automatically renewing. You understand that you must cancel your membership at least sixty (60) days before the Initial Membership Period or then-current Renewal Membership Period, to avoid automatic renewal. You may cancel your membership by using our online cancellation mechanism or sending an email to info@crezly.com with the subject line “MEMBERSHIP CANCELLATION” and that cancellation will go into effect in at the completion of the Initial Membership Period or the then-current Renewal Membership Period. Prices are subject to change.
YOU HEREBY EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT WE MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU UNTIL WE RECEIVE WRITTEN NOTICE FROM YOU THAT YOU HAVE TERMINATED THIS AUTHORIZATION OR WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE WE COULD REASONABLY ACT UPON SUCH NOTICE.
4.3 Free Trials
We may offer free trials of certain memberships for specified periods of time without payment. If we offer you a free trial, the specific terms of your free trial will be provided in the Order Form. ONCE YOUR FREE TRIAL ENDS, WE WILL BEGIN BILLING YOUR DESIGNATED PAYMENT METHOD ON A RECURRING BASIS FOR YOUR MEMBERSHIP (PLUS ANY APPLICABLE TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES) FOR AS LONG AS YOUR MEMBERSHIP CONTINUES, UNLESS YOU CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP PRIOR TO THE END OF YOUR FREE TRIAL. INSTRUCTIONS FOR CANCELING YOUR MEMBERSHIP ARE DESCRIBED IN SECTION 4.2 ABOVE. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A NOTICE FROM US THAT YOUR FREE TRIAL HAS ENDED OR THAT THE PAID PORTION OF YOUR MEMBERSHIP HAS BEGUN. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MODIFY OR TERMINATE FREE TRIALS AT ANY TIME, WITHOUT NOTICE AND IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION.
4.4 Termination for Cause
We or you may terminate the Agreement on notice to the other party if the other party materially breaches the Agreement and such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after the non-breaching party provides notice of the breach. We may terminate the Agreement immediately on notice to you if we reasonably believe that the Services are being used by you in violation of applicable law.
4.5 Termination Without Cause
We may terminate the Agreement without cause at any time and for any reason; provided that we will provide you with thirty (30) days prior written notice for paid memberships only. Either party may terminate a free membership at any time by providing the other party written notice.
4.6 Effect of Termination
Upon any termination for cause by you, we will refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the Membership Period after the effective date of termination; you will not be entitled to any refund of prepaid fees in any other circumstance (although we may, in our sole discretion, choose to provide you a refund under certain circumstances). Upon any termination for cause by us, you will pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the Membership Period after the effective date of termination. In no event will any termination relieve you of the obligation to pay any fees payable to us for the period prior to the effective date of termination.

Confidential Information of Customer includes Customer Content. If something is labeled “Confidential,” that’s a clear indicator to the Receiving Party that the material is confidential.

Nothing above will prevent either party from sharing Confidential Information with financial and legal advisors; provided, however, that the advisors are bound to confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those in the Agreement.
9.3 Compelled Access or Disclosure
The Receiving Party may access or disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if it is required by law; provided, however, that the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled access or disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the access or disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to access or disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing access to such Confidential Information as well as the reasonable cost for any support provided in connection with the Disclosing Party seeking a protective order or confidential treatment for the Confidential Information to be produced.

If Customer accesses or uses the Services after the effective date, that use will constitute Customer’s acceptance of any revised terms and conditions.
10.7 Waivers

10.8 Severability
The Agreement will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. If any provision of the Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the provision will be modified by the court and interpreted so as best to accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain in effect.
10.9 Assignment
Neither party may assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party (not to be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may assign the Agreement in its entirety (including all Order Forms), without consent of Customer, to a corporate affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets. Any purported assignment in violation of this section is void. Subject to the foregoing, the Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns.
10.10 Governing Law
The Agreement, and any disputes arising out of or related hereto, will be governed exclusively by the internal laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to its conflicts of laws rules or the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods. The parties acknowledge that the Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law of the Agreement, any arbitration conducted hereunder shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16).
10.11 Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial; Fees
The state and federal courts located in New Jersey will have exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate any dispute arising out of or relating to the Agreement or its formation, interpretation or enforcement, including any appeal of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings if the arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable. Each party hereby consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. Each party also hereby waives any right to jury trial in connection with any action or litigation in any way arising out of or related to the Agreement. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under the Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its reasonable costs and attorney’s fees.
10.12 Arbitration
Read this section carefully because it requires the parties to arbitrate their disputes and limits the manner in which you may seek relief from us. For any dispute with us, you agree to first contact us at and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. If we have not been able to resolve a dispute within sixty (60) days of your first contact, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to the Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof by binding arbitration by JAMS, under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. The arbitration will be conducted Hudson County New Jersey, unless we agree otherwise. If you are using the Service for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. If you are an individual using the Services for non-commercial purposes: (i) JAMS may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from JAMS; (ii) the award rendered by the arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorney’s fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; and (iii) you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing us from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights.
10.13 Entire Agreement
The Agreement, including these Customer Terms and all referenced pages and Order Forms, if applicable, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals or representations, written or oral, concerning its subject matter. Without limiting the foregoing, the Agreement supersedes the terms of any online agreement electronically accepted by Customer. However, to the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions in these Customer Terms and any other documents or pages referenced in these Customer Terms, the following order of precedence will apply: (1) the terms of any Order Form (if any), (2) these Customer Terms; and (3) any other documents or pages referenced in these Customer Terms. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary therein, no terms or conditions stated in a Customer purchase order, vendor onboarding process or web portal, or any other Customer order documentation (excluding Order Forms) will be incorporated into or form any part of the Agreement, and all such terms or conditions will be null and void.
10.14 Survival
Any section of the Agreement that, by its terms or its nature, should survive the termination or expiration of the Agreement shall so survive, including but not limited to Sections 2.4, 3.1(a), 3.2, 3.3, 3.5, 4.6, and 5 through 10.
