AGREEMENT Now, therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Access to the Site. By using the Site or any services provided in connection with the Site (the "Service"), User agrees to abide by the terms of this Agreement, as they may be amended by Association from time to time in its sole discretion. Association will post a notice on the Site any time the terms of use in this Agreement have been changed or otherwise updated. It is the responsibility of User to review these terms of use periodically, and if at any time User finds these terms of use unacceptable, User must immediately leave the Site and cease all use of the Service and the Site. USER AGREES THAT BY USING THE SERVICE, THAT USER IS AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD AND IS LEGALLY ABLE TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. In order to access certain portions of the Site or Service, User may be required to create an account with a user name and password (the "Account"). When User is required to open an Account to use or access the Site or Service, User must complete the registration process by providing the complete and accurate information requested on the registration form. User will also be asked to provide a user name and password. User will be entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of User's password. User may not use the account, username, or password of someone else at any time. User agrees to notify Association immediately on any unauthorized use of User's account, user name, or password. Association shall not be liable for any loss that you incur as a result of someone else using User's password, either with or without User's knowledge. User may be held liable for any losses incurred by Association, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents, and representatives due to someone else's use of User's account or password.

2. Intellectual Property. The Site comprises intellectual property of the Association, and may also include intellectual property owned by third parties (the "Site Content"). Access to the Site or Service is at all times governed by and subject to laws regarding copyright ownership and use of intellectual property, and User shall be liable for any violations thereof. The burden of proving that User's use of Site Content does not violate any laws or third party rights rests solely with User. No User is permitted to upload, download, display, perform, transmit, or otherwise distribute any of the Site Content in violation of any third party's copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights thereto.

3. Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgements of User. User hereby represents, warrants, acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) the Site Content shall be used for informational purposes only, and shall not be used for commercial purposes, gain or profit. Nothing herein, or any use thereof, shall be deemed a transfer of ownership or title of any portion of the Site Content, whether owned by Association or any third party, or any of the intellectual property rights therein. User shall abide by those restrictions on use of the Site Content, including, but not limited to, copyright restrictions contained in this Agreement and as may be further noticed by the Association; (b) the Association shall determine, in the Association's sole discretion , which Site Content to include in each Account. The Association retains the right at any time, in the Association's sole discretion, and without prior notice, to terminate the Account and revoke or suspend all or partial access, and remove or limit access to certain documents or materials from the Account. Association does not warrant that access to the Site Content will be uninterrupted or error free, and User assumes the risk of any and all damage or loss from use of, or inability to use, the Site Content; (c) the Association is making the Site and Service available "As-Is" and without warranty, statement, representation or claim of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to the accuracy, currency, reliability, intellectual property ownership and rights associated therewith, or completeness of the Site Content. All users are urged to independently verify the information provided; and (d) if User is a certified representative of an Association property owner or principal contact for ownership ("Owner User"), and Owner User wishes to provide a third party ("Agent") access to Site Content for legitimate purposes related to such property, Owner User may create access to their account for such Agent as allowed by the Service. Owner User assumes all responsibility for the Agent. Owner User warrants that any Agent access will only be given for legitimate purposes related to the relevant property and the Owner User will be responsible for promptly deleting any Agent access which is no longer necessary to accomplish the legitimate purpose related to the property. Owner User hereby indemnifies the Association for any claim or demand against the Association arising out of or in any way connected with Agent access created by Owner User.

4. Waiver and Indemnification. User hereby waives any claim or demand against the Association arising out of or in any way connected with the Account, the Site Content and this Agreement. User agrees to indemnify, protect, defend (with legal counsel selected by Association) and hold harmless the Association, and the Association's directors, officers, shareholders, agents, attorneys, consultants, employees and affiliated personnel, from and against any and all losses, actions, obligations, claims, demands, liabilities, debts, costs, damages and/or expenses (including attorneys' fees, expert fees and costs), arising out of or in any way connected with the Account, the Site Content, this Agreement, and any infringement by User, of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity. Association will notify User promptly of any such claim, loss, liability or demand, and will provide User with reasonable assistance, at User's sole cost and expense (including all attorneys' fees, expert fees and costs), in defending such claim, loss, liability, damage or cost.

5. Alleged Violations. Association reserves the right to terminate User's use of the Service and/or the Site, or access to Site Content. To ensure that Association provides a high quality experience for the use of the Site and the Service, User agrees that Association or its representatives may access User's account and records on a case-by-case basis to investigate complaints or allegations of abuse, infringement of third party rights, or other unauthorized uses of the Site or the Service. Association does not intend to disclose the existence or occurrence of such an investigation unless required by law, but Association reserves the right to terminate a User account or User access to the Site immediately, with or without notice to User, and without liability to User, if Association believes that User has violated any of the terms of this Agreement, furnished Association with false or misleading information, or interfered with use of the Site or the Service by others.
