Terms

Last updated: December 25, 2020

Please read these Terms and Conditions, Terms of Service or Terms of Use (“Terms”) carefully as they contain important information about your legal rights, remedies and obligations. By accessing or using the Land.Lease Platform, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms.

Please note: Section 19.0 of these Terms contains an arbitration clause and class action waiver that applies to all claims brought against Land.Lease in the United States that applies to all Land.Lease Members. If your country of residence is the United States, this provision applies to all disputes with Land.Lease. If your country of residence is outside of the United States, this provision applies to any action you bring against Land.Lease in the United States. It affects how disputes with Land.Lease are resolved. 

If your country of residence is within the European Union then you can access the European Commission’s online dispute resolution platform by following this link: http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. Please note that Land.Lease is not committed nor obliged to use an alternative dispute resolution entity to resolve disputes with consumers within the EU. By accepting these Terms, you agree to be bound by this arbitration clause and class action waiver. Please read it carefully.

Thank you for using Land.Lease.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement ("Agreement") between you and Land.Lease (as defined below) governing your access to and use of the Land.Lease website, including any subdomains thereof, and any other websites through which Land.Lease makes its services available (collectively, "Site"), our mobile, tablet and other smart device applications, and application program interfaces (collectively, "Application") and all associated services (collectively, "Land.Lease Services"). The Site, Application and Land.Lease Services together are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Land.Lease Platform”. 

When these Terms mention “Land.Lease,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” it refers to Land.Lease Ireland (“Land.Lease Ireland”).

Any and all payment processing services through or in connection with your use of the Land.Lease Platform ("Payment Services") are provided to you by one or more Land.Lease Payments entities (individually and collectively, as appropriate, "Land.Lease Payments"). VENDORS alone are responsible for identifying, understanding, and complying with all laws, rules and regulations that apply to their Listings. It is the VENDORS responsibility alone to ensure that  THE BUYER holds appropriate Sporting Insurance prior to the commencement of any lease. In many counties, both VENDORS and BUYERS may have to register, get a permit or obtain a license before providing certain VENDOR Services (such as preparing food, serving alcohol for sale, guiding tours or operating a vehicle) or engaging in Sporting activities. VENDORS are alone responsible for identifying and obtaining any required licenses, permits, or registrations for any VENDOR Services they offer. BUYERS alone are responsible for obtaining the appropriate licences they need for the execution of sporting leases and are alone responsible for the execution of leases in accordance with Wildlife and Fisheries Protections Legislation. Penalties may include fines, imprisonment or other enforcement. If you have questions about how local laws apply to your Listing on Land.Lease, you should always seek legal guidance.

1.0 Scope of Land.Lease Services

1.1 The Land.Lease Platform is an online marketplace that enables the leasing of the right to hunt, shoot and fish to be referred to as “Sporting Rights” on a particular measure of land “Property” for a pre-defined period of time “Duration” by facilitating the interaction between registered users (“Members”) and certain third parties who offer services (Members and third parties who offer services are “VENDORS” and the services they offer are “VENDOR Services”) to publish such VENDOR Services on the Land.Lease Platform (“Listings”) and to communicate and transact directly with Members that are seeking to purchase such VENDOR Services (Members using VENDOR Services are “BUYERS”). "BUYERS ASSOCIATE(S)" are anyone who has express permission from the BUYER to exercise the Sporting Rights on a Property in accordance with a specific Lease. VENDOR Services primarily refer to the offering of hunting and fishing leases on properties for use ("Permits"), single day, weekly, monthly, annual or seasonal leases. VENDOR Services may also include but are not limited to the provision of accommodations, food, lodgings, camp sites, shooting cages, beaters, guides, instructors, permission to use different forms of transport while on the Property such as quad bikes, ATV’s, horses, ponies or donkeys or any other listed or unlisted service as provided by the VENDOR.

1.2 Definitions

1.2.1 The words of which the initial letter is capitalized or where all the letters are capitalized have meanings defined under the following conditions. The following definitions shall have the same meaning regardless of whether they appear in singular or in plural.

1.2.2 VENDORS may be defined as anyone who has undisputed ownership of the Sporting Rights over a particular measure of land. VENDORS may be; Landowners, Foresters, Farmers, Governmental Organisations, Ranchers, Appointed Land Mangers; these phrases are interchangeable and are understood to have the same definition. VENDORS are individuals or companies who have the sole and undisputed right to lease and otherwise manage the Sporting Rights of a particular Property. Ownership of Land carries with it the right to kill or capture wild animals on it and fish in its waters. Collectively these rights are known as “Sporting Rights”. Sporting Rights are defined as the right to shoot over a Property and to take away all carcases of harvested fish and animals. Sporting Rights may be leased independent of a Property for a profit. Such leases are the product offered for sale by VENDORS on the Land.Lease Platform.  The right to exercise these Sporting Rights are superseded by the Wildlife and Fisheries Protection Legislation in the jurisdiction of the listed Property.

1.2.3 “Quarry Species” are all wild animals and fish that are available to kill and capture. Harvesting of Protected Quarry Species requires the pertinent licence as issued by the pertinent licencing authority where the Property is situated and these Quarry Species may only be harvested in season. Protected Quarry Species may only be harvested if THE BUYER and THE BUYERS ASSOCIATE(S) have obtained the pertinent licence to do so and only within the permitted season. Those Quarry Species not offered protected status can be harvested year round and require only the permission THE VENDOR as granted in THE PERMIT to harvest.

1.2.4 A “Listing” is defined as a clear and succinct description to the Sporting Rights for lease at a particular Property. THE VENDOR is responsible for the content of THE LISTING. It may take the form of a set purchase price or an auction as per the preferences of THE VENDOR. The Listing comprises the definition of the terms of THE PERMIT. 

1.2.5 “A Property” or "A Site" as stipulated by THE VENDOR in a listing refers to the specific measure of Land or LAND to which the outlined Sporting Rights pertain. Otherwise to be referred to as THE LAND. The Location, general description and acreage of the Property or Site or LAND or Land is described by THE VENDOR in the Listing. Land.Lease reserves the right to verify THE VENDORS claim to the Sporting Rights attached to a Property or Site should Land.Lease deem it necessary to do so.

1.2.6 THE PERMIT comprises the lease of Sporting Rights on the Property. The lease as stipulated in THE PERMIT or Permit leases the stipulated Sporting Rights only. It is not a lease of the Land itself nor does it confer any rights other than Sporting rights onto the BUYER. The PERMIT does not confer the right to use the Land for any purposes other that Sporting onto the Buyer. It is a legal document to which both VENDOR and BUYER are legally bound. It is documentary evidence of the granting of permission to pursue Sporting Rights on a Property or Site as granted by the VENDOR to the BUYER for the specified duration.

1.2.7 The phrases "Hunt Club", "Syndicate", "Commercial Outfit" and "Commercial Outfitter" are interchangeable and understood to have the same definition. A Hunt Club is defined as a group of more than seven members, including The BUYER, who intend to access A Site during a Lease. If the numbers of Buyers Associates numbers no more than six then the group is not deemed to be a Commercial Outfit, Syndicate or Hunt Club.

1.2.8 As the provider of the Land.Lease Platform, Land.Lease does not own, create, sell, resell, provide, control, manage, offer, deliver, or supply any Listings or VENDOR Services, nor is Land.Lease an organiser or retailer of sporting packages under Directive (EU) 2015/2302 or any other such similar legislation in other jurisdictions. VENDORS alone are responsible for their Listings and VENDOR Services. When Members make or accept a booking, they are entering into a contract directly with each other. Land.Lease is not and does not become a party to or other participant in any contractual relationship between Members, nor is Land.Lease a real estate broker or insurer. Land.Lease is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any Member, except as a payments facilitator and permit writer.

1.2.9 While we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes, Land.Lease has no control over and does not guarantee (i) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of any Listings or VENDOR Services, (ii) the truth or accuracy of any Listing descriptions, Ratings, Reviews, or other Member Content (as defined below), or (iii) the performance or conduct of any Member or third party. Land.Lease does not endorse any Member, Listing or VENDOR Services. Any references to a Member being "verified" (or similar language) only indicate that the Member has completed a relevant verification or identification process and nothing else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by Land.Lease about any Member, including of the Member's identity or background or whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable. You should always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to lease the sporting rights to a particular PROPERTY, accept a booking request from a BUYER, or communicate and interact with other Members, whether online or in person. Images are intended only to indicate a photographic representation of a Listing at the time the photograph was taken, and are therefore not an endorsement by Land.Lease of any VENDOR or Listing.

1.2.10 If you choose to use the Land.Lease Platform as a VENDOR, your relationship with Land.Lease is limited to being an independent, third-party contractor, and not an employee, agent, joint venturer or partner of Land.Lease for any reason, and you act exclusively on your own behalf and for your own benefit, and not on behalf, or for the benefit, of Land.Lease. Land.Lease does not, and shall not be deemed to, direct or control you generally or in your performance under these Terms specifically, including in connection with your provision of the VENDOR Services. You acknowledge that you have complete discretion whether to list VENDOR Services or otherwise engage in other business or employment activities.

1.2.11 To promote the Land.Lease Platform and to increase the exposure of Listings to potential BUYERS, Listings and other Member Content may be displayed on other websites, in applications, within emails, and in online and offline advertisements in accordance with Section 5.0 To assist Members who speak different languages, Land.Lease may make automated tools available to enable Members to translate Listings and other Member Content, in whole or in part, into other languages. Members are free to use these tools at their own discretion. Land.Lease cannot guarantee the accuracy or quality of such translations and Members are responsible for reviewing and verifying the accuracy of such translations.

1.2.12 The Land.Lease Platform may contain links to third-party websites or resources (“Third-Party Services”). Such Third-Party Services may be subject to different terms and conditions and privacy practices. Land.Lease is not responsible or liable for the availability or accuracy of such Third-Party Services, or the content, products, or services available from such Third-Party Services. Links to such Third-Party Services are not an endorsement by Land.Lease of such Third-Party Services.

1.2.13 Land.Lease is not responsible for outages or disruptions of the Internet and telecommunications infrastructure which are beyond our control and can lead to interruptions in the availability of the Land.Lease Platform. Land.Lease may, temporarily and under consideration of the Members’ legitimate interests (e.g. by providing prior notice), restrict the availability of the Land.Lease Platform or certain areas or features thereof, if this is necessary in view of capacity limits, the security or integrity of our servers, or to carry out maintenance measures that ensure the proper or improved functioning of the Land.Lease Platform. Section 17.0 (Liability) remains unaffected. Land.Lease may improve, enhance and modify the Land.Lease Platform and introduce new Land.Lease Services from time to time. Land.Lease will provide notice to Members of any changes to the Land.Lease Platform, unless such changes are of minor nature without having a material effect on the parties’ contractual obligations.

Land.Lease generally supports payment amounts that are payable from or to BUYERS or VENDORS to the smallest unit supported by a given currency (i.e., U.S. cents, Euro cents or other supported currencies). Where Land.Lease’s third-party payment services provider does not support payments in the smaller unit supported by a given currency, Land.Lease may, in its sole discretion, round up or round down the displayed amounts that are payable from or to BUYERs or VENDORs to the nearest whole functional base unit in which the currency is denominated (i.e. to the nearest dollar, Euro or other supported currency).

7. Terms specific for VENDORS “VENDORS TERMS”

7.1 Terms applicable to all Listings

7.1.1 THE VENDOR is defined as the person who has undisputed ownership over or authority to manage the Sporting Rights pertaining to The Property. By making The Listing, THE VENDOR is making a legally binding declaration that they alone have undisputed authority to sell, lease or otherwise manage the Sporting Rights of The Property. THE VENDOR sells The Permit. The stipulations of The Permit are outlined in The Listing. THE VENDOR is subject to all the conditions, exceptions, reservations and stipulations as outlined below in THE VENDORS TERMS. VENDORS may include landowners, leaseholders, farmers, foresters, public bodies, nominated managers of estates, or those who have ownership of the Sporting Rights to The Property with or without having any other association to The Property.

7.1.2 Any individual who represents themselves as a legitimate VENDOR and posts a Listing who, knowingly or unknowingly, does not have undisputed authority to manage the Sporting Rights of The Property may be party to an act of criminality for which they may be subject to legal prosecution. 

7.1.3 When creating a Listing through The Land.Lease Platform THE VENDOR must (i) provide complete and accurate information about THE VENDOR Service (such as description, location, and calendar availability), (ii) disclose any deficiencies, restrictions, criteria for access, cull numbers and reporting thereof, and requirements that apply (such as any minimum age, fitness to pursue the specified Sporting Rights, hunting qualification, marksmanship abilities, hunt or shooting club membership of other evidences of proficiency) and (iii) provide any other pertinent information requested by Land.Lease. THE VENDOR is responsible for keeping the Listing information (including calendar availability) up-to-date at all times.

7.1.4 THE VENDOR is solely responsible for setting a price (including any Taxes if applicable, or charges) for THE VENDOR Listing (“Listing Fee”). Once a BUYER purchases a lease THE VENDOR may not request that the BUYER pays a higher price than the purchase price.

7.1.5 Any terms and conditions included in THE VENDOR Listing or included anywhere else by THE VENDOR of the Land.Lease Platform, in particular in relation to cancellations, must not conflict with these Terms or the relevant cancellation policy for THE VENDOR Listing. THE VENDOR agrees to comply with THE VENDORS TERMS for THE DURATION of The Permit on penalty of immediate termination of The Permit. Should any clear conflict become apparent between these Terms and specific terms, conditions, criteria, stipulations for access as specified by a Vendor then it is the Vendors Stipulations that take precedent. This is only applicable in the case of a clear and demonstrable conflict between these Terms and the Specific Stipulations as presented by the Vendor and in such instances where the Vendors Terms and the Specific Stipulations are not deemed to be written in such a manner as to extend beyond the right and reasonable business of offering Sporting leases on a particular measure of Land. If the Vendors Terms or other Stipulations as the above mentioned stipulations intrude, invalidated or otherwise impact upon the operation of the Land.Lease platform or business interests this element of the Vendors Terms will be disregarded and these Terms will take precedence.

7.1.4 THE VENDOR acknowledges and agrees that since Land.Lease constitutes only a marketplace, playing the role of intermediary only and taking no part in the deal itself save for the introduction of interested parties, the processing or payments and the production of the document known as The Permit, it is THE VENDOR who is selling directly to THE BUYER as is therefore liable for the payment of any and all taxes such as VAT pertaining to any sale temporary leasing of Sporting Rights  on The Property described in The Listing and that Land.Lease shall at no time bear any liability whatsoever in this regard. THE VENDOR takes full responsibility for the payment of any and all taxes associated with the sale of The Permit.

7.1.5 Pictures, maps, aerial footage or videos (collectively, "Images") used in THE VENDOR Listings must accurately reflect the quality and condition of The Property. Land.Lease reserves the right to require that Listings have a minimum number of Images of a certain format, size and resolution.

7.1.6 The placement and ranking of Listings in search results on The Land.Lease Platform may vary and depend on a variety of factors, such as BUYER search parameters and preferences, VENDOR requirements, price and calendar availability, number and quality of Images, customer service and cancellation history, Reviews and Ratings, available Sporting Activities, and/or ease of booking.

7.1.7 When THE VENDOR sells a lease to a BUYER, THE VENDOR is entering into a legally binding agreement with the BUYER known as The Permit. THE VENDOR is required to provide exclusive access to the Sporting Rights of The Property to the BUYER as described in The Listing. THE VENDOR also agrees to pay the applicable VENDOR Fee and any applicable Taxes.

7.1.8 Land.Lease recommends that VENDORS obtain appropriate insurance for their Properties. THE VENDOR will at all times hold Land.Lease harmless for any and all civil claims made against THE VENDOR on a property as a result of a Lease. THE VENDOR is duly advised to review any respective insurance policy carefully, and in particular make sure that they are familiar with and understand any exclusions to, and any deductibles that may apply for, such insurance policy, including, but not limited to, whether or not THE VENDORS insurance policy will cover the actions or inactions of BUYERS (and the individuals THE BUYER ASSOCIATES, if applicable) while accessing THE VENDORS Property.

7.1.9 THE VENDOR understands and agrees that unless THE VENDOR opt out of automatic annual renewal that any lot offered by THE VENDOR, either by auction of fixed price, will automatically be listed the following year and all other subsequent years until such time as THE VENDOR discontinues this process by editing or deleting the lot in question.

7.2 Listing PROPERTIES

7.2.1 Unless expressly allowed by Land.Lease, THE VENDOR may not list more than one Property per Listing.

7.2.2 If THE VENDOR chooses to require a security deposit for a lease, THE VENDOR must specify this in The Listing ("Security Deposit"). VENDORS are not allowed to ask for a Security Deposit (i) after a booking has been confirmed or (ii) outside of The Land.Lease Platform.

7.2.3 Any Listing THE VENDOR posts and the subsequent sale of the lease, or a BUYERS access to, a Property shall (i) not breach any agreements THE VENDOR have entered into with any third parties, such as homeowners association, landlords, or other agreements, and (ii) comply with all applicable laws (such Wildlife and Fisheries Protection laws), Tax requirements, and other rules and regulations (including having all required permits, licenses and registrations).

7.2.4 THE VENDOR commits to sell The Permit to only one BUYER per DURATION. THE VENDOR understands that the Sporting Rights to The Property become the private personal property of THE BUYER at the culmination of a successful tendering process and the exercising of these Sporting Rights are the sole and exclusive right of THE BUYER and the sharing of these rights with THE BUYERS ASSOCIATE(S) is at the BUYER'S discretion, with due consideration paid to THE VENDOR regarding the provision of identification, competencies and insurance cover of all BUYERS ASSOCIATE(S). THE VENDOR will not sell Sporting Rights on The Property to any other party other than THE BUYER nor will the VENDOR exercise Sporting Rights on The Property save with the express consent and permission of THE BUYER or for the control of pest species.

7.2.5  THE VENDOR will at all times conduct activities in a manner which ensures THE BUYER is able to pursue their Sporting Rights. THE VENDOR undertakes to conduct all agricultural and forestry operations on The Property with due consideration for the welfare of game, particularly during the breeding/nesting season and to ensure no forestry nor farming operations are carried out on identified shoot days.

7.2.6 THE VENDOR undertakes to keep all rights of way in woodlands properly trimmed and free from obstruction and provide stock proof fences to woods, plantations and cover crops where required. THE VENDOR commits to renew, replace and manage the existing woodland and wildlife habitat as far as possible according to the best interests of game and other wildlife.

7.2.7 THE VENDOR will pay due consideration to the notification of THE BUYER of proposals of management of The Property. THE VENDOR covenants to allow the erection of game bird release pens, feedlots, hides or any other such sporting structures on PROPERTIES previously approved by both THE VENDOR and THE BUYER.

7.2.8 THE VENDOR commits to take all reasonable steps to assist in the apprehension and prosecution of persons found poaching or trespassing in search of Quarry Species or the eggs of game.

7.2.9 THE VENDOR agrees to furnish in a timely manner, upon request of THE BUYER any Folio Numbers, GIS Numbers or other specific registration numbers pertaining to The Property when said “Identifying Numbers” are necessary for the acquisition of the pertinent licence from licencing authorities such as is the case with deer. An Identifying Number is any registration number that formally identifies The Property with governmental bodies responsible for the inventory of land ownership or ordnance survey. Failure by THE VENDOR to properly identify The Property by producing recognised registration for The Property such as deeds of ownership or Identifying Numbers or any other such registration details shall be interpreted as breach of contract declaring the The Permit invalid. In such an instance THE VENDOR will be obligated to refund the Purchase Price of The Permit to THE BUYER though at this stage Land.Lease has no obligation to either party short of the appointment of an ARBITRATOR.

7.2.10 In the case of auction, THE VENDOR is not obligated to accept the highest bid, but reserves the right to review the quality of all bids, as per their own stated or unstated preferences, expressed or unexpressed prior to the commencement of the auction or otherwise held as price is often not the only consideration in the granting of The Permit. THE VENDOR reserves the right to accept the highest quality bid independent of bid price.

7.3 Co-VENDORS

7.3.1 Land.Lease may enable VENDORS to authorize other Members (“Co-VENDORS”) to administer the VENDOR’s Listing(s), and to bind the VENDOR and take certain actions in relation to The Listing(s) as permitted by the VENDOR, such as processing requests, messaging and welcoming BUYERS, and updating The Listing Fee and calendar availability (collectively, “Co-VENDOR Services”). Any agreement formed between VENDOR and Co-VENDOR may not conflict with these Terms or any other Policies applicable to THE VENDOR Service(s). Co-VENDORS may only act in an individual capacity and not on behalf of a company or other organization, unless expressly authorized by Land.Lease. Land.Lease reserves the right, in our sole discretion, to limit the number of Co-VENDORS a VENDOR may invite for each Listing and to limit the number of Listings a Co-VENDOR may manage.

7.3.2 VENDORS should exercise due diligence and care when deciding who to add as a Co-VENDOR to their Listing(s). VENDORS are responsible and liable for any and all Listings and Member Content published on The Land.Lease Platform created by a Co-VENDOR on their behalf. Further, VENDORS remain responsible and liable for their own acts and omissions, including, but not limited to, conduct that causes harm or damage to the Co-VENDOR(s). Co-VENDORS remain responsible and liable for their own acts and omissions when engaging in their roles and responsibilities as a Co-VENDOR, including, but not limited to, conduct that causes harm or damage to the VENDOR. In addition, both VENDOR and Co-VENDOR are jointly responsible and severally liable for third party claims, including BUYER claims, arising from the acts and omissions of the other person as related to VENDORING activities, communications with BUYERs, and the provision of any Co-VENDOR Services.

7.3.3 Unless agreed otherwise by THE VENDOR and Co-VENDOR, VENDOR and Co-VENDOR may terminate the Co-VENDOR agreement at any time. In addition, both VENDOR and Co-VENDOR acknowledge that their Co-VENDORING relationship will terminate in the event that Land.Lease (i) terminates the Co-VENDOR service or (ii) terminates either party’s participation in the Co-VENDOR service. When the Co-VENDOR agreement is terminated, the VENDOR will remain responsible for all of the Co-VENDOR’s actions prior to the termination, including the responsibility to fulfill any pending or future bookings initiated prior to the termination, except in the event of gross misconduct or malicious behavior of the Co-VENDOR. When a Member is removed as a Co-VENDOR, that Member will no longer have access to any VENDOR or BUYER information related to the applicable VENDOR’s Listing(s).

7.4.4 As a Co-VENDOR, THE VENDOR will not be reviewed by BUYERS, meaning that THE VENDOR Co-VENDOR activities will not affect THE VENDOR Reviews or Ratings for other Listings. Instead, the VENDOR of such Listing(s) will be reviewed by BUYERS (including potentially on the basis of the Co-VENDOR’s conduct and performance). VENDORS acknowledge that Reviews and Ratings from BUYERS for their Listing(s) may be impacted by a Co-VENDOR’s conduct and performance.

If a VENDOR fails to provide us with the required documentation under applicable law (e.g. a tax number) to alleviate our obligation (if any) to withhold Taxes from payouts to you, we reserve the right to withhold payouts up to the tax-relevant amount as required by law until resolution.

13.3 You understand that any appropriate governmental agency, department and/or authority ("Tax Authority") where your PROPERTY is located may require Taxes to be collected from BUYER or VENDORs on Listing Fees, and to be remitted to the respective Tax Authority.

In any jurisdiction in which we decide to facilitate direct Collection and Remittance, you hereby instruct and authorize Land.Lease (via Land.Lease Payments) to collect Occupancy Taxes from BUYER on the VENDOR's behalf at the time Listing Fees are collected, and to remit such Occupancy Taxes to the Tax Authority.

19.0 Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement

19.1 This Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement shall apply if you bring any claim against Land.Lease in the United States (to the extent not in conflict with Section 21).

19.2 Overview of Dispute Resolution Process. Land.Lease is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process. To that end, these Terms provide for a two-part process for individuals to whom Section 19.1 applies: (1) an informal negotiation directly with Land.Lease’s customer service team, and (2) a binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) using its specially designed Consumer Arbitration Rules (as modified by this Section 19 and except as provided in Section 19.6). Specifically, the Consumer Arbitration Rules provide:

• Claims can be filed with AAA online (www.adr.org);
• Arbitrators must be neutral and no party may unilaterally select an arbitrator;
• Arbitrators must disclose any bias, interest in the result of the arbitration, or relationship with any party;
• Parties retain the right to seek relief in small claims court for certain claims, at their option;
• The initial filing fee for the consumer is capped at $200;
• The consumer gets to elect the hearing location and can elect to participate live, by phone, video conference, or, for claims under $25,000, by the submission of documents;
• The arbitrator can grant any remedy that the parties could have received in court to resolve the party’s individual claim.

19.3 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. Prior to initiating an arbitration, you and Land.Lease each agree to notify the other party of the dispute and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first. We will contact you at the email address you have provided to us; you can contact Land.Lease’s customer service team by emailing us. If after a good faith effort to negotiate one of us feels the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration. In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed with the AAA and the written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) provided to the other party, as specified in the AAA Rules.

19.4 Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Land.Lease mutually agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the applicability, breach, termination, validity, enforcement or interpretation thereof, or to the use of the Land.Lease Platform, the VENDOR Services, the Group Payment Service, or the Collective Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding individual arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and Land.Lease agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.

19.5 Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. You and Land.Lease each agree that the following claims are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) Any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) Any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack).

19.6 Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by AAA in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules and/or other AAA arbitration rules determined to be applicable by the AAA (the “AAA Rules“) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1–800–778–7879.

19.7 Modification to AAA Rules - Arbitration Hearing/Location. In order to make the arbitration most convenient to you, Land.Lease agrees that any required arbitration hearing may be conducted, at your option, (a) in the county where you reside; (b) in San Francisco County; (c) in any other location to which you and Land.Lease both agree; (d) via phone or video conference; or (e) for any claim or counterclaim under $25,000, by solely the submission of documents to the arbitrator.

19.8 Modification of AAA Rules - Attorney’s Fees and Costs. You and Land.Lease agree that Land.Lease will be responsible for payment of the balance of any initial filing fee under the AAA Rules in excess of $200 for claims of $75,000 or less. You may be entitled to seek an award of attorney fees and expenses if you prevail in arbitration, to the extent provided under applicable law and the AAA rules. Unless the arbitrator determines that your claim was frivolous or filed for the purpose of harassment, Land.Lease agrees it will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law or the AAA Rules, to recover attorneys’ fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.

19.9 Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.

19.10 Jury Trial Waiver. You and Land.Lease acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes.

19.11 No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and Land.Lease acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney-general action, or any other representative proceeding as to all Disputes. Further, unless you and Land.Lease both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If the “class action lawsuit” waiver or the “class-wide arbitration” waiver in this Section 19.11 is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement will be deemed void with respect to such Dispute and the Dispute must proceed in court. If the “private attorney general action” waiver or the “representative proceeding” waiver in this Section 19.11 is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, those waivers may be severed from this Arbitration Agreement and you and Land.Lease agree that any private attorney general claims and representative claims in the Dispute will be severed and stayed, pending the resolution of any arbitrable claims in the Dispute in individual arbitration.

19.12 Severability. Except as provided in Section 19.11, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect.

19.13 Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 (“Modification of these Terms”), if Land.Lease changes this Section 19 (“Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement”) after the date you last accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email) within thirty (30) days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of Land.Lease’s email to you notifying you of such change. Rejecting a new change, however, does not revoke or alter your prior consent to any earlier agreements to arbitrate any Dispute between you and Land.Lease (or your prior consent to any subsequent changes thereto), which will remain in effect and enforceable as to any Dispute between you and Land.Lease.

19.14 Survival. Except as provided in Section 19.12, this Section 19 will survive any termination of these Terms and will continue to apply even if you stop using the Land.Lease Platform or terminate your Land.Lease Account.

21.0 Applicable Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with Irish law. If you are acting as a consumer and if mandatory statutory consumer protection regulations in your country of residence contain provisions that are more beneficial for you, such provisions shall apply irrespective of the choice of Irish law. As a consumer, you may bring any judicial proceedings relating to these Terms before the competent court of your place of residence or the competent court of Land.Lease's place of business in Ireland. If Land.Lease wishes to enforce any of its rights against you as a consumer, we may do so only in the courts of the jurisdiction in which you are a resident. If you are acting as a business, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts.

22.0 General Provisions

22.1 Except as they may be supplemented by additional terms and conditions, policies, guidelines or standards, these Terms constitute the entire Agreement between Land.Lease and you pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Land.Lease and you in relation to the access to and use of the Land.Lease Platform.

22.5 Land.Lease’s failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by us in writing. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise permitted under law.

22.6 You may not assign, transfer or delegate this Agreement and your rights and obligations hereunder without Land.Lease's prior written consent. Land.Lease may without restriction assign, transfer or delegate this Agreement and any rights and obligations hereunder, at its sole discretion. Your right to terminate this Agreement at any time remains unaffected.
