You may connect the Services to your accounts on third party services such as Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Realtor.com, Zillow and Trulia (collectively, “Third-Party Services”) for the purpose of managing your social media presence through the Service. Such Third-Party Services are not under the control of Real Grader, Real Grader does not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to Third-Party Services and is not responsible for any Third-Party Services. You use all Third-Party Services at your own risk, and should apply a suitable level of caution and discretion in doing so. Any use of Third-Party Services is governed solely by the terms and conditions of such Third-Party Services and any contract entered into, or any transaction completed via any Third-Party Services, is between you and the relevant third party, and not with Real Grader. You shall comply in all respects with all applicable terms of the Third-Party Services that you access or subscribe to in connection with the Services. If at any time any Third-Party Services cease to make their programs available to us on reasonable terms, we may cease to provide such features to you without entitling you to refund, credit, or other compensation.

You acknowledge that the Service can access your account and profile data (the “Social Media Information“) on the Third-Party Services and make changes to your profile data in our sole discretion. You acknowledge and agree that no backup copies of the profile data are kept by Real Grader and that no functionalities may exist to revert the profile data to a prior version other than changing again the profile data to reflect the prior information. You acknowledge and agree that when accessing the Social Media Information, we act as your authorized agent. You may withdraw your authorization at any time by writing us an email at hello@www.realgrader.com. For security reasons, once you have notified us in writing that you wish to withdraw your consent, we strongly suggest that you also change your login information to each Third-Party Service. You understand that the process of creating, updating and troubleshooting the profile data may be lengthy and that the profile data may undergo a transition period when information is not fully filled in or completed. In certain cases, profiles duplication and merging process, profiles removal or data synchronization as well as other technical details will involve communication with the applicable Third-Party Service.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL REAL GRADER (OR OUR SUPPLIERS) BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS, OR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SITE, EVEN IF REAL GRADER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

8. PAYMENTS, CANCELLATIONS.

8.1 Service Fees. A Paid Account can be purchased directly from Real Grader by paying the initial set-up fee (“Initial Set Up Fee“), as applicable, and the applicable recurring subscription fee (“Subscription Fee” and, together with the Initial Set Up Fee, the “Service Fees”) corresponding to the type of Paid Account that you have selected from the page here: https://www.realgrader.com/pricing. Service Fees are billed in advance. You must provide us with a valid credit card to pay the Service Fee. 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.

8.2 Auto-renewal and Cancellation. Your payment to Real Grader of the Subscription Fee will automatically renew at the end of the subscription period for a new subscription period, unless you cancel your Paid Account by sending a written notice to billing@www.realgrader.com at least 30 days before the end of the current subscription period. The cancellation will take effect the day after the last day of the current subscription period, and you will be downgraded to a Free Account. You may cancel your Paid Account at any time. You agree that we may process your credit card or other valid payment method on each renewal term, on the calendar day corresponding to the first day you subscribed to the Paid Account.

8.3 Reactivation of Cancelled Accounts. To reactivate a cancelled Real Grader Account, a $195 reactivation fee will be charged to your account. This includes a 60 minute call with a Digital Identity Expert. To reactivate a cancelled Instacard only, you will be charged a $95 reactivation fee, which includes a review and update of the Instacard by a Digital Identity Expert.

8.4 Changes to Subscription Terms. We may change the price for Paid Accounts from time to time, and will communicate any price changes to you in advance and, if applicable, how to accept those changes. Price changes for Paid Accounts will take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the price change. As permitted by local law, you accept the new price by continuing to use the Services after the price change takes effect. If you do not agree with the price changes, you have the right to reject the change by unsubscribing from the Services prior to the price change going into effect. Please therefore make sure you read any such notification of price changes carefully.

8.5 Refunds and Credits. We will offer to fully refund the Service Fees paid if you cancel the Services and request a refund within 72 hours from your purchase. We will offer to refund 50% of your paid Service Fees if you cancel the Services and request a refund within 60 days from your purchase.

No refunds will be issued to you if, in our judgment, you have derived a benefit from the Services. To be eligible for a refund or credit, you must provide written notice to billing@www.realgrader.com. This notice must (a) identify your account, (b) request cancellation of the applicable Subscription and (c) request a refund or credit as applicable in accordance with this Section 8.4.

9. TERM AND TERMINATION.

9.1 The Agreements will continue to apply to you until terminated by either you or Real Grader. However, you acknowledge and agree that the perpetual license granted by you in relation to Customer Content, including Feedback, is irrevocable and will therefore continue after expiry or termination of any of the Agreements for any reason.

9.2 We may terminate the Agreements or suspend your access to the Services at any time, including in the event of your actual or suspected unauthorized use of the Services and/or Content, or non-compliance with the Agreements.

To learn how to terminate your Account, please contact us through the Customer Service contact form which is available on our Help & Support page. This section will be enforced to the extent permissible by applicable law. Any provision of this Agreement which, either by its terms or to give effect to its meaning, must survive, and such other provisions which expressly, or by their nature, are intended to survive termination shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

10. COPYRIGHT POLICY.

We respect the intellectual property of others and ask that our Customers do the same. We have adopted and implemented a policy respecting copyright law that provides for the removal of any infringing materials and for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of Customers who are repeat infringers of intellectual property rights, including copyrights. If you believe that any of the copyrighted material, which is directly available via the Services is unlawfully infringing the copyright(s) in a work, and wish to have the allegedly infringing material removed, the following information in the form of a written notification (pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)) must be provided to our designated Copyright Agent:

  • your physical or electronic signature;
  • identification of the copyrighted work(s) that you claim to have been infringed;
  • identification of the material on our services that you claim is infringing and that you request us to remove;
  • sufficient information to permit us to locate such material;
  • your address, telephone number, and e-mail address;
  • a statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the objectionable material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or under the law; and
  • a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are either the owner of the copyright that has allegedly been infringed or that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Please note that, pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any misrepresentation of material fact (falsities) in a written notification automatically subjects the complaining party to liability for any damages, costs and attorney’s fees incurred by us in connection with the written notification and allegation of copyright infringement.

11. GENERAL

11.1 Dispute Resolution. Please read this Arbitration Agreement carefully. It is part of your contract with Real Grader and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

  • Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Terms or the use of any product or service provided by Real Grader that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and Real Grader, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized Customers or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Terms.
  • Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution. Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice to Real Grader should be sent to: Real Grader Inc., 1010 Washington Blvd, 2nd Floor, Stamford CT 06901. After the Notice is received, you and Real Grader may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and Real Grader do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.
  • Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“Arbitration Rules”) governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. Any hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the parties agree otherwise. If you reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearings. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator grants you an award that is greater than the last settlement offer that Real Grader made to you prior to the initiation of arbitration, Real Grader will pay you the greater of the award or $2,500.00. Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.
  • Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration. If non-appearance based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
  • Time Limits. If you or Real Grader pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the AAA Rules for the pertinent claim.
  • Authority of Arbitrator. If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Real Grader, and the dispute 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 AAA Rules, and the Terms. 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 Real Grader.
  • Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and Real Grader in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND REAL GRADER WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.
  • Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.
  • Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
  • Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
  • Right to Waive. Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.
  • Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Real Grader.
  • Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Real Grader may bring an individual action in small claims court.
  • Emergency Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.
  • Claims Not Subject to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.
  • Courts. In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within New York County, New York, for such purpose.

11.2 Applicable Law. The laws of the State of New York, excluding its choice of law provisions, will govern these Terms and any dispute that arises between you and Real Grader.

11.3 Export. The Website may be subject to U.S. export control laws and may be subject to export or import regulations in other countries. You agree not to export, reexport, or transfer, directly or indirectly, any U.S. technical data acquired from Real Grader, or any products utilizing such data, in violation of the United States export laws or regulations.

11.4 Disclosures. Real Grader is located at the address in Section 10. If you are a California resident, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Product of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 400 R Street, Sacramento, CA 95814, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.

11.5 Electronic Communications. The communications between you and Real Grader use electronic means, whether you use the Website or send us emails, or whether Real Grader posts notices on the Website or communicates with you via email. For contractual purposes, you (a) consent to receive communications from Real Grader in an electronic form; and (b) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Real Grader provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were be in a hardcopy writing. The foregoing does not affect your non-waivable rights.

11.6 Entire Terms. These Terms, together with Real Grader’s Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the Services. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word “including” means “including without limitation”. If any provision of these Terms is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of these Terms will be unimpaired and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. Your relationship to Real Grader is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent or partner of the other. These Terms, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without Real Grader’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. Real Grader may freely assign these Terms. The terms and conditions set forth in these Terms shall be binding upon assignees.
