NAN offers a variety of Services related to commercial and residential real estate appraisals, appraisal, and related services. The Services will be made available online and/or via other web pages designated by NAN, including associated offline components, and the APQM Portal, and excluding websites or applications not owned or controlled by NAN (“Third­ Party Websites”). The Services may be modified at any time at the sole discretion of NAN with or without prior notification to Customer, provided, however, that NAN will provide written notice to Customer if any modification would result in the removal of any material functionality of the Services. Customer may use the Services for personal and business use or for internal business purposes in the organization that Customer represents. Any plug­ins, agents, administrative code or other software obtained by Customer in connection with the Services and controlled by NAN (collectively, “Software”) is deemed to be a part of the Services and is subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, including without limitations the disclaimers, limitations and restrictions herein relating to the Services. NAN retains all right, title and interest in and to the Services and Software, including without limitation all software used to provide the Services (excluding open source software) and all logos, trademarks, patents and copyrights reproduced and used through the Services. This Agreement does not grant Customer any intellectual property rights in or to the Services, the Software or any of their respective components.

  1. License to Use Services

During the Term (defined below), and subject to compliance with the terms of this Agreement, NAN grants Customer a limited, non­exclusive, non-sub-licensable, non-transferable license to use the Services and Software (the “License”).

  1. Purchases

If you wish to purchase any product or service made available through the Services (“Purchase”), you may be asked to supply certain information relevant to your Purchase including, without limitation, your name, your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card, your billing address, and your shipping information.

You represent and warrant that: (i) you have the legal right to use any credit card(s) or other payment method(s) in connection with any Purchase; and that (ii) the information you supply to us is true, correct and complete.

NAN may employ the use of third-party services for the purpose of facilitating payment and the completion of Purchases. By submitting your information, you grant us the right to provide the information to these third parties subject to our Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel your order at any time for reasons including but not limited to: product or service availability, errors in the description or price of the product or service, error in your order or other reasons.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel your order if fraud or an unauthorized or illegal transaction is suspected.

We reserve the right to charge late payment penalties, suspend, accelerate payments or terminate your access and licenses for the Services in the event of non-payment or late payment.

LATE PAYMENT PENALTIES, SUSPENSION OF SERVICE, AND ACCELERATION

NAN reserve the right to collect a late payment penalty of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month for any Services contract, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower. Late penalties accrue until the total balance including any late fees is paid in full. A contract payment becomes late on the calendar day after full payment is due.

If any amount owing by Customer under this or any other agreement for any Services is 30 or more days overdue (or 10 or more days overdue in the case of amounts Customer has authorized NAN to charge to Customer’s credit card), NAN may, without limiting other rights and remedies, accelerate Customer’s payment obligations under such agreements so that all unpaid amounts become immediately due and payable, and suspend all Services to Customer until such amounts are paid in full. In the event that payment is five or more days overdue, NAN may terminate access and proceed to collect the total balance on the account up until the date of termination.

TAXES

Unless otherwise stated, NAN’s fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including but not limited to value ­added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any local, state, provincial, federal or foreign jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with purchases hereunder. If NAN has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this paragraph, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Customer, unless Customer provides NAN with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, NAN is solely responsible for taxes assessable against it based on NAN’s income, property and employees.

BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

Please read this section carefully – it may significantly affect your legal rights, including your right to file a lawsuit in court and to have a jury hear your claims.

By using the Services, you irrevocably agree: (a) to waive all rights to trial in a court before a judge or jury on any claim, action or dispute with us or relating in any way to your use of the Services or the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms of Use including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this agreement is void or voidable (“Claims”); (b) that all Claims will be determined exclusively by final and binding arbitration in Pinellas County, Florida before one arbitrator; and (c) that the arbitrator will not have the authority to consolidate the Claims of other users of the Services (“Users”) and will not have the authority to fashion a proceeding as a class or collective action or to award relief to a group or class of Users in one arbitration proceeding.

The validity, interpretation and construction of these Terms of Use, or any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the Services or this website, including claims for breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or any Agreement between You and NAN, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida. The Parties hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waive any right to a trial by jury in respect to any litigation arising in connection with this Agreement. In the event that either party commences legal action to enforce the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, in addition to any monetary damages hereunder, at arbitration and at both trial and appellate levels, if applicable

If a dispute arises from or relates to this contract or the breach thereof, and if the dispute cannot be settled through direct discussions, the parties agree to endeavor first to settle the dispute by mediation administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Mediation Procedures before resorting to arbitration. The parties further agree that any unresolved controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any mediation, arbitration or litigation that may arise from this Agreement shall be conducted in Pinellas County, Florida.

Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses and an equal share of the arbitrators’ and administrative fees of arbitration. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties. All parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and the award, including the hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Claims. However, nothing in this section shall prevent us from enforcing our intellectual property rights and/or remedy unfair competition, misappropriation of trade secrets, unauthorized access, fraud or computer fraud, and/or industrial espionage in court.

Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. In any arbitration arising out of or related to these Terms of Use, the arbitrator shall award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration. If the arbitrator determines a party to be a prevailing party under circumstances where the prevailing party won on some but not all of the claims and counterclaims, the arbitrator may award the prevailing party an appropriate percentage of the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration.

It is very important that you read and understand this entire section. This section explains that by using the Services, you are agreeing to resolve any dispute related to the Services or these Terms of Use through binding arbitration, and you are giving up your right to resolve disputes in front of a judge or jury. You are also agreeing to arbitrate your claims individually, and not as part of a class action.
