A. Personal Information: Only those who are required Information for the purposes of the Site’s or Yardi Service’s functions will have access to the Information provided.

Unless you specifically advise CHC, CHC will not know who you are, even though the Site may assign your computer a Cookie.

You agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current, and complete Information as prompted by the registration form; and (b) maintain and update such Information to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete at all times. CHC reserves the right to delete or cause Yardi to delete Your Account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Site (or any portion thereof) without notice if you are found to have misrepresented your age, identity, or any other Information submitted in connection with Your Account, or if CHC and/or Yardi has reasonable grounds to suspect that such Information is untrue, inaccurate, incomplete or not current. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password, your email address and Your Account, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password and Your Account. You agree and acknowledge that you will not allow others to utilize Your Account and that you will not disclose your password to anyone. You will be solely responsible for safeguarding your password and for any actions under Your Account, whether authorized by you or not. If you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control of your Information and could potentially be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf. You further agree not to use anyone else’s password on the Site or attempt to gain access to the Site account of any other User. CHC CANNOT AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM YOUR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS SECTION.
5.2 Privacy and your Information. By submitting Information to the Site, you hereby consent to Yardi and/or CHC’s use and sharing of your Information in accordance with the privacy provisions of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the “Act”).
CHCis committed to protecting the privacy of any Information you may provide when visiting the Site, and/or using the Yardi Services to the extent of Information provided by Yardi to CHC.
The following is an overview of CHC’s Site practices:
A. Personal Information: Only those who are required Information for the purposes of the Site’s or Yardi Service’s functions will have access to the Information provided.
CHC does not intend to use any Information provided by Users for any purpose that is inconsistent with the purpose for which the Information was provided. A User will not receive correspondence or e-mails from CHC on any subject other than those subjects the User has given CHC permission to contact them about.
B. Logging Practices: CHC logs HTTP requests to the CHC web server. These logs record the IP address of Users. An IP address is the number automatically assigned to the computer or to the Internet Service Provider requesting a URL. Log files are archived and used for systems analysis, maintenance, and site evaluation.
C. Use of Cookies: duringyour use of the Site, CHC may use a browser feature to collect an anonymous identification number that identifies your browser - but not you - to CHC each time you visit the Site (a “Cookie”). Cookies provide which pages are visited and by how many people. This helps enhance the on-line experience of Users.
Unless you specifically advise CHC, CHC will not know who you are, even though the Site may assign your computer a Cookie. Cookies cannot, by themselves, disclose the individual identity of any User, and CHC never combines a Cookie with personally identifiable information, such as your name, telephone number, or your e-mail address.
5.3 Renter Screening. As part of using the Yardi Services, Users may be permitted to submit Information through the Site for the purpose of conducting a User background check or screening (a “Screening”) on behalf of CHC or a third party sublandlord pursuant to a head lease with CHC (a “Sublandlord”). Information that you submit through the Site to the extent provided to CHC or a third party sublandlord for the purpose of such Screening shall be treated in accordance with Section 5.2 hereof. Your submission of the Information requested for a Screening shall constitute your consent to the Screening process. Screenings also may be governed by other additional requirements as may be disclosed to you by Yardi in connection with the Screening. You acknowledge that you will address any issues or concerns with any Screenings, including the results of any Screenings, by contacting CHC, or as otherwise permitted under the additional requirements applicable to the Screening or as otherwise required by law. CHC shall not become involved in Screening related issues except where the issue is solely attributable to a malfunction or error occurring on the Site, or as otherwise provided in the additional requirements or as otherwise required by law.
5.4 Payments. You acknowledge that you will address any discrepancies, issues, or concerns with any payments you submit through the Site including rental deposits, rental payments, or any other services or transactions by contacting CHC. You acknowledge these fees are subject to change. Application fees are non-refundable, even if an application is denied, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law. You must comply with all such terms in relation to such payments by you.
By providing your card or bank information, you are representing that you are authorized to use this card or bank account for payments for rental deposits, rental payments, or any other services or transactions. If you are making a one-time payment, your card or bank information will not be stored after completion of the transaction, but any other personal information provided in connection with the transaction will be stored. If you are enrolling in recurring payments, you authorize Yardi to store your card or bank information to process your recurring payments. You are responsible for keeping your card or bank information up to date. If your card or bank information changes, you agree to promptly update your information. Yardi will continue to store your card or bank information until you delete your information, or you cancel recurring payments.
5.5 Electronic Signatures. If you choose to use the electronic signature execution functionality of the Yardi Services, you understand, acknowledge and agree that you have carefully reviewed the disclosure relating to use of your electronic signature to execute documents and will not execute such documents with your electronic signature without providing your consent to use your electronic signature. You agree that you will rely on your own legal counsel to determine the sufficiency of the electronic signature execution of the documents and their enforceability and that CHC makes no warranty or other representation with respect to the sufficiency of the electronic signature execution of the documents under applicable laws and regulations.
5.6 Identity Verification Services. You acknowledge that by using identity verification services, you give your express written consent to, if applicable: (i) send and receive text messages associated with the identity verification services, including text messages to and from third parties (including but not limited to Mitek Systems, Inc. as the provider of document verification services); and (ii) have your “selfie” image used in the document and identity verification process. By providing a “selfie” image or an image of your identification documents, you agree that the images may be scanned and compared to your identification documents for authentication purposes and that you have read and understand the Act and Mitek Systems, Inc’s Privacy Policy, available at: https://www.miteksystems.com/privacy-policy.
