Terms of Service

Effective Date: August 9, 2023

Thank you for using Stessa, Inc. (“Stessa,” “we” “us”). We offer a real estate portfolio management solution that helps real estate investors track, manage, and communicate the performance of their residential real estate assets. By bringing together all relevant data in one place, Stessa enables you to consolidate and stay on top of your real estate data, making it easy for both novice and sophisticated investors to monitor and analyze portfolio performance.

These terms of service (“Terms”) cover your use and access to our website, mobile app, products, and services, whether provided by Stessa or a third party (“Service”). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using our Service for an organization, you agree to these Terms on behalf of that organization. It is the responsibility of you, the user, customer, or prospective customer to read the Terms before proceeding to use the Service. If you disagree with any part of the Terms, then you may not use the Service.

REGISTRATION

Stessa is intended solely for individuals who are 18 or older. Any access to or use of the Service by anyone under 18 is unauthorized, unlicensed, and in violation of these Terms. By accessing or using Stessa, you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older. In addition, you must be in good standing and not an individual that has been previously barred from receiving the Service under the laws and statutes of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction.

When you register, we may collect information such as your name, email, property address, real estate financials and operational data.

You agree that the information you provide to us on account registration through our Service will be true, accurate, current, and complete.

PAYMENT TERMS

There is no cost to you for s Stessa Essentials subscription (“Stessa Essentials”). If you purchase a Stessa Pro Subscription (referred to as, “Stessa Pro”), which is a premium subscription, then these payment terms apply to your purchase, and you agree to them.

Charges: You agree to the charges associated with Stessa Pro. We may suspend or cancel Stessa Pro if we do not receive an on-time, full payment from you. Suspension or cancellation of Stessa Pro for non-payment could result in a loss of access to and use of Stessa Pro. However, your data access will default to the Stessa Essentials subscription.

Billing Account: To pay the charges for Stessa Pro, you will provide a payment method as part of your Stessa Pro registration. You agree to permit Stessa to use any updated account information regarding your selected payment method provided by your issuing bank or the applicable payment network. You agree to update your account and other information, including your email address and payment method details, so we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed in connection with your transactions. By providing Stessa with a payment method and subsequent changes that you may make, you (1) represent that you are authorized to use the payment method you provided and that any payment information you provide is true and accurate; and (2) authorize Stessa to charge you for Stessa Pro.

Recurring Payments: When you purchase Stessa Pro (either monthly or annually), you agree that you are authorizing recurring payments, and payments will be made to Stessa by the method and at the recurring intervals you have agreed to, until you terminate Stessa Pro. You must cancel Stessa Pro before the next billing date to stop being charged. Once you have cancelled Stessa Pro, your access to the Stessa Pro data will continue until the respective monthly or annual subscription period expires, at which point your access will default to the Stessa Essentials subscription. By authorizing recurring payments, you are authorizing Stessa, and its service providers, to store your payment information and process such payments as either electronic debits or fund transfers, or as electronic drafts from your designated account (for Automated Clearing House or similar payments), or as charges to your designated account (for credit card or similar payments) (collectively, “Electronic Payments“). If any payment is returned unpaid or if any credit card or similar transaction is rejected or denied, Stessa, or its service providers, reserves the right to collect any applicable return item, rejection or insufficient funds fee and process any such payment as an Electronic Payment.

Billing History and Errors. Under the Settings tab, you will be able to access your billing history. You can access your billing history by logging into your Stessa Pro account. Stessa will send you emails as confirmation of your payments and processing details. Stessa will also send you a receipt that will be attached to each recurring Stessa Pro transaction. If there is an error on your bill, you must contact us within 90 days after the error first appears on your bill. We will then promptly investigate the charge. If 90 days have passed, you release Stessa from all liability and claims of loss resulting from the error and we will not be required to correct the error or provide a refund. If Stessa has identified a billing error, we will correct it within 90 days.

Refund Policy. Unless otherwise provided by law or a particular written Stessa Pro offer, all purchases are final and non-refundable. If you believe that Stessa has charged you in error, you must contact us within 90 days of such charge. We reserve the right to issue refunds or credits at our sole discretion. If we issue a refund or credit, we are under no obligation to issue the same or similar refund in the future. This refund policy does not affect any statutory rights that may apply.

Canceling the Services. You may cancel Stessa Pro at any time, with or without cause. Cancelling paid Stessa Pro stops future charges to continue Stessa Pro. To cancel Stessa Pro, you must click “Cancel” and then click “Confirm” on the subscription page. You will receive a confirmation of cancellation email.

STESSA DOES NOT, AND THE SERVICE IS NOT INTENDED TO, PROVIDE FINANCIAL, LEGAL, OR OTHER ADVICE. THE REPORTS, TEMPLATES, DOCUMENTS, ANALYSES, INSIGHTS, OR OTHER CONTENT OR MATERIAL OBTAINED FROM OR THROUGH THE SERVICE IS NOT INTENDED TO AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL, FINANCIAL, REAL ESTATE, INVESTMENT, BUSINESS OR PROFESSIONAL ADVICE OF ANY KIND.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL STESSA BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF REVENUE, INCOME OR PROFITS, LOSS OF USE OR DATA, LOSS OR DIMINUTION IN VALUE OF ASSETS OR SECURITIES, OR DAMAGES FOR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE STESSA SERVICES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, USER CONTENT AND LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES), OR THE ORDER, RECEIPT OR USE OF ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE, OR OTHERWISE RELATED TO THESE TERMS (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY OR RESULTING FROM RELIANCE ON ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM STESSA, OR FROM EVENTS BEYOND STESSA’S REASONABLE CONTROL, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, SIMPLE NEGLIGENCE, WHETHER ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR IMPUTED) OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, EVEN IF STESSA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE).

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF STESSA ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE STESSA SERVICES EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY EVEN IN THE EVENT YOUR REMEDIES HEREUNDER FAIL OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE, AND THE FOREGOING SHALL CONSTITUTE STESSA’S SOLE LIABILITY AND OBLIGATION IN RESPECT HEREOF.

IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU HEREBY WAIVE YOUR RIGHTS UNDER CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE 1542, WHICH STATES “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.” 

INDEMNIFICATION

You shall indemnify and hold harmless Stessa, and, at Stessa’s option, defend Stessa and Service Provider and their affiliates from any and all third-party claims, liability, damages, expenses and costs (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees) (“Losses”) caused by or arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these terms or your infringement, or infringement by any other user of your account, of any intellectual property or other right of anyone. You further agree that Stessa shall have control of the defense or settlement of any third-party claims unless Stessa exercises its option to require you to defend Stessa. This indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnities set forth in a written agreement between you and Stessa. You agree that Service Provider is a third-party beneficiary of the above provisions, with all rights to enforce such provisions as if Service Provider were a party to this agreement.

Arbitration

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH STESSA AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.

YOU AND STESSA AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS OR THE STESSA SERVICES SHALL BE FINALLY DECIDED BY BINDING ARBITRATION UNDER THE RULES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION GOVERNING CONSUMER DISPUTES.

Arbitration uses a single, neutral arbitrator to decide a dispute (instead of a judge or jury); arbitration allows for more limited discovery than in a court case; and the arbitration process and result is subject to very limited review by courts. In an arbitration you have the right, at your expense, to be represented by an attorney of your choosing. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief under these Terms that a court can award under these Terms. You and Stessa agree that any in-person arbitral hearing would occur in the United States in the same county and state as your billing address. Stessa further agrees that your filing fee for an arbitration will be capped at the amount set by the American Arbitration Association. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Stessa are each waiving the right to a trial by jury and/or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms and the termination of your use of the Stessa Services. Further, unless both you and Stessa agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not join or consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.

Class Action Waiver

REGARDLESS OF THE FORUM, YOU AND STESSA AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

RENT ESTIMATE USES AND RESTRICTIONS

By purchasing a Rent Estimate from Stessa, you agree to use the Rent Estimate (and all the underlying data included) (collectively “Rent Estimate”) for your personal and internal use only. Specifically, you agree to the following uses and limitations:

  1. You may not sublicense or redistribute the Rent Estimates, derivatives, or integrated products to other users, whether directly or through third-party distribution channels, including resellers.
  2. You may not disclose, use, disseminate, reproduce, publish, resell, or redistribute the Rent Estimates.

Sections 1681 et seq.), or (vi) in any other manner that would cause such use of the Rent Estimates to be construed as a consumer report by any authority having jurisdiction over any of the Parties.
  5. You may not use the Rent Estimates for any purpose that (a) infringes any third-party’s copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights or rights of publicity or privacy, (b) violates any law, statute, ordinance or regulation (including without limitation the laws and regulations governing unfair competition, anti-discrimination or false advertising), or (c) is defamatory, trade libelous, unlawfully threatening or unlawfully harassing.
  6. The Rent Estimate is provided by one or more third parties and governed by the respective third-party’s terms and privacy policy. Stessa does not make any representation or warranty with respect to any aspect of the Rent Estimate (including any portion of the underlying data), and is not responsible for its accuracy, sufficiency, veracity, completeness, or timeliness. You hereby release Stessa from any and all claims, demands, liability and damages (actual or consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with your use of any portion of the Rent Estimate (including any of the underlying data.)
