1. General Terms

This is a legal agreement and you represent that you have authority to make these commitments on behalf of your organization.

1.1

This Agreement is a binding legal agreement between you and ProFund™ (“ProFund™”, “we”, “us” or “our”). Employees or family members of ProFund™, affiliates of ProFund™, or any Participating Supplier are not eligible to create an account for, access or use the Services (“Related Party”). If you enter into this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you are not a Related Party; you have the legal authority to bind that entity and its Affiliates to this Agreement; the entity is actively engaged in a trade or business and all references to “you” and “your” in this Agreement are referring to that entity. You and ProFund™ are also sometimes referred to in this Agreement individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.

This Agreement is effective (“Effective Date”) on the earlier of (a) the date you accept this Agreement by clicking an “I Agree” button or otherwise indicate that you accept this Agreement (including registration as a user of the Services) or (b) the date you (or an employee or Affiliate) first access or use the Services.

Subscription: You are signing up for a ProFund™ subscription plan that may include a free trial period followed by a recurring monthly subscription (“Monthly Recurring Subscription”). Certain subscriptions may include a multi-month, pre-paid amount based on a 4-, 8- or 12-month subscription term and no free trial period (“Multi-Month Subscription”).  A Multi-Month Subscription does not automatically renew.   Each subscription specifies monthly user and property report limits.  Each subscription includes a monthly flat rate or equivalent, plus additional per unit charges for any usage above the specified monthly limitations.  For Monthly Recurring Subscriptions, the monthly flat rate is charged at the beginning of each period and the additional charges for excess usage, if any, are charged at the beginning of the period following the period in which the excess usage occurred.  For Multi-Month Subscriptions, users desiring to create property reports in excess of the monthly limit are required to purchase Property Report Bundles (“Bundles”).   Bundles do not expire as long as your subscription remains current and may be carried over month to month. The cost of Monthly Recurring Subscriptions and the specific details related to usage limitations and features for each type of subscription may be found at https://www.profund.net/pricing.

Free Trial Period: If your subscription includes a free trial, your free trial period is 14 calendar days and begins immediately upon signup. You will receive a trial-ending reminder 7 days prior to the end of your trial period.

Billing Date: If you have a Monthly Recurring Subscription, your first subscription payment will be billed and charged at the end of your free trial. Your monthly recurring subscription will be billed and charged thereafter on the same day each subsequent month until canceled.

Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription at any time by logging into your account, navigating to the Billing & Plan section of your Admin page, clicking on Update Subscription Plan, clicking "Cancel Plan" and following the cancellation procedures described there. If you need help, feel free to contact us at info@profund.net or 478-776-3863.

Cancellation of Free-Trial Subscription: If you cancel your subscription prior to the end of the free trial period, your payment method will not be charged and your account access will end immediately.

Cancellation of Monthly Recurring Subscription: If you cancel your subscription after the free trial period, your cancellation will take effect the first day of the period following the current billed period and your account access will continue until the end of the period during which you cancelled your subscription. Your payment method will not be charged for a recurring monthly subscription fee; however, you may be charged for any unbilled subscription usage overages incurred prior to cancellation. You will not be eligible for a refund for monthly subscription fees paid prior to the month the cancellation takes effect.

Cancellation of a Multi-Month Subscription:  Your Multi-Month Subscription does not renew and will be automatically cancelled at the end of its 4-, 8-, or12-months term.  You may cancel your subscription at any time prior to the end of the term purchased; however, the cancellation will take effect at the end of the term and you may continue to use the Service until such time. You will not be eligible for a refund for any portion of the subscription fee paid.

The Software Services are made available on a periodic subscription basis and may be subsidized in part by a participating materials supplier or other third party with whom you have an active account in good standing for the purchase of goods and/or services (“Participating Supplier”).  In order to obtain a reduced subscription rate from a Participating Sponsor you must enter your active account number with the Participating Supplier when prompted at the time of registration.  Eligibility for sponsorship with any Participating Supplier is determined by the Participating Supplier and may be changed or canceled at any time, including if you fail to remain in good standing with the Participating Supplier or your account number with such Participating Supplier is canceled.

Software Services. The section describes our uptime commitments for the software.

2.1.1

Access and Service Levels. ProFund™ will make the Services to which you have registered available to you, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. ProFund™ makes no commitment or representation to you with respect to the period or percentage of time in which the Software Service will be available. We may temporarily suspend your access for things like scheduled maintenance or if a natural disaster occurs. We may also change or discontinue features or functions of our Services at any time. If the access and service levels you experience are not satisfactory to you, you may cancel your subscription at any time from the Admin page within the service.

2.1.2

Notwithstanding Section 2.1.1, in addition to all other rights of ours set forth herein, we reserve the right to suspend any Services (a) in connection with a Force Majeure event (as described in Section 13.8), (b) if we believe any malicious software is being used in connection with your account, or (c) during planned maintenance.

If we make any material changes to the Software Service, we’ll notify you within the Software Service or by sending you an email. Notwithstanding the above, we have no obligation to update or enhance any Services or to produce or release new versions of any Services.

2.2

Third-Party Offerings. We are not responsible for any third-party products that are integrated with or used in connection with the Services. Although the Services may allow you to access or use Third Party Offerings, they are not “Services” under this Agreement and are not subject to any of the warranties, service commitments or other obligations with respect to Services hereunder. Use of integrated finance features are Third-Party Offerings and are subject to additional lender and/or access fees that may be collected by ProFund™ for the Third-Party. If you use such Third-Party Offerings for which a lender and/or access fee is due, you authorize ProFund™ to collect such fee from a payment request you initiate or directly via an invoice. The availability of any Third-Party Offerings through the Services does not imply ProFund™’s endorsement of or affiliation with the provider. ProFund™ does not control Third Party Offerings and will have no liability to you or Affiliates in connection with any Third-Party Offerings. ProFund™ has no obligation to monitor or maintain Third Party Offerings and may disable or restrict access to any Third-Party Offerings at any time. By using or enabling any Third-Party Offering, you are expressly permitting ProFund™ to disclose Your Data or other information to the extent necessary to utilize the Third-Party Offering. YOUR USE OF THIRD-PARTY OFFERINGS IS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND IS SUBJECT TO ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS, CONDITIONS AND POLICIES APPLICABLE TO SUCH THIRD-PARTY OFFERINGS (SUCH AS TERMS OF SERVICE OR PRIVACY POLICIES OF THE PROVIDERS OF SUCH THIRD-PARTY OFFERINGS).

2.3

Support Services. As part of the Services, you will have access to ProFund™’s standard support services accessible from our Website which may include chat, self-guided tutorials, video training or other resources.

2.4

Marketing Services. When you register to use our Software Service, your business may be provided the opportunity to participate in promotional programs (“ProFund™ Promote”), which are designed to promote your business and attract customers. Future enrollment in ProFund™ Promote will require you to review and agree to the applicable ProFund™ Promote terms and conditions applicable to the specific promotional program for which you enroll (“ProFund™ Promote Terms”). ProFund™ reserves the right to charge fees for ProFund™ Promote in accordance with the ProFund™ Promote Terms. If you enroll in ProFund™ Promote, you agree to pay all applicable fees for ProFund™ Promote in accordance with this Agreement and the ProFund™ Promote Terms. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the ProFund™ Promote Terms applicable to the specific promotional program in which you enroll, if any, the ProFund™ Promote Terms will apply.

2.5

Trial and Beta Services. ProFund™ may in its sole discretion offer trial or beta Services from time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein: (a) any trial or beta Services are provided “AS IS” with no warranties of any kind; and (b) ProFund™ may discontinue any trial or beta Services or your ability to use such Services at any time, with or without notice and without any further obligations to you. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Services that have not been accessed or used for six (6) consecutive months may be terminated by us. ProFund™ will have no liability for any harm or damages suffered by you or any third party in connection with any trial or beta Services.

2.6

Processing Payment Requests. The Services include a feature that permits you to request a down payment or final payment be made electronically directly from a lender or a borrower to your bank account upon authorization by a borrower with whom you have entered a contract to provide home improvement or other services. Each such payment request requires authorization from the respective borrower. A down payment or final payment made directly from a borrower may be made from the borrower’s bank account or Project Account. In addition, the Services include a feature that permits you to make a payment on a materials invoice due from a Participating Supplier. An invoice payment may be made as a reduction from a final payment or directly from your bank account upon your request and approval. In each such case, a request for payment is initiated through the Services but processed by a third-party payment processor (“Payment Processing Services”). Payment Processing Services are provided by third-party payment processing partners as Third-Party Offerings and any procurement by you or your Affiliates may be subject to a separate merchant agreement which will be solely between you (or your Affiliate) and the lender. If you use Payment Processing Services you agree that you and your Affiliates will comply with the terms and conditions of any applicable merchant agreements and all applicable rules, policies, laws, and regulations, at all times while using such Payment Processing Services. Neither ProFund™ or any third-party, including a lender or processor, shall be responsible for any payment or obligation due you from the borrower under a home improvement agreement between you and the borrower or related homeowner due to the failure of the borrower to approve such payment request or otherwise.

2.6.1

Processing Fees and Credits. When making a request for payment through the Services you may be charged a processing fee. The processing fee may be reflected as a reduction in the net payment made to your bank account or may be separately invoiced to you for payment (“Payment Processing Fee”). A Participating Supplier may offer a specific discount on invoices paid from within the Services. If such is applicable to you, then if you request payment of an invoice from within the Services, ProFund™ will provide you with a credit for a portion of the Payment Processing Fee on any payment request in which you designate a portion of such payment to be applied to a materials invoice for materials ordered from a participating supplier. The amount of the credit shall not exceed two percent (2%) of the invoice amount paid (“Processing Fee Credit”).

2.6.2

Payment Errors. If you believe a payment has been processed in error, you must provide written notice to ProFund™ within thirty (30) days after the date of payment specifying the nature of the error and the amount in dispute ("Payment Error Notice"). If the Payment Error Notice is not received by ProFund™ within such thirty (30) day period, the payment will be deemed final.

2.6.3

Transaction Reversal and Your Liability. You are solely responsible for you and your end users’ payment request activity initiated through the Services, including, without limitation, any fraudulent activity. ProFund™ has no obligation to ensure that the funds required to complete a payment request will be available. Your customer may have certain rights that permit him/her to cause a reversal of a completed ACH transaction in which you received payment. Any payment sent or received by you or your end users may: (a) be reversed in accordance with our third-party payment processor or its Financial Institution Partners’ risk management policies, (b) be reversed in accordance with Applicable Law, including without limitation, by ACH return as defined under the Nacha Rules, (c) fail due to your error or end user error, (d) fail due to the provision of inaccurate information by you or your end user; or (e) be canceled or rejected by an end user or the end user’s financial institution (each, a “Reversal”). Except for any Reversal made in error by our third-party payment processor, you are liable to the third-party payment processor and its Financial Institution Partners for any and all losses caused by Reversals, including unauthorized or erroneous activity initiated by you or your end users, whether through misconduct, negligence, error, or otherwise.  You authorize ProFund™, our third-party payment processor and its Financial Institution Partners to recover any such amounts due by debiting the available balance in your account or to recover such amounts from prospective payment transfers, if any. In conjunction therewith, you authorize ProFund™, its third-party payment processor and its Financial Institution Partners to take any of the following actions to recover the remaining amounts from you: (x) debit your Payment Account(s); (y) request immediate payment from you, and, if payment is not received timely, engage in collection efforts; and (z) pursue any rights or remedies otherwise available, including, without limitation, suspension and/or termination of the Services for non-payment or by terminating this Agreement.

3. Your Responsibilities

You are responsible for ensuring that your Affiliates and End Users comply with the terms of this agreement and applicable laws.

3.1

Payment of Fees and Taxes

3.1.1

You will pay the Fees applicable to your subscription to the Services (“Subscription Fees”), including overage fees for any excess users and/or profiles created, (“Subscription Overage Fees”) and any other applicable fees, including but not limited to payment processing fees (“Transaction Fees”) and any fees relating to your purchase or use of any add-on products or services, including Third Party Offerings (“Additional Fees”). Together, the Subscription Fees, Subscription Overage Fees, Transaction Fees and the Additional Fees are referred to as the “Fees”.

3.1.2

You must keep a valid payment method on file with us to pay for all incurred and recurring Fees. ProFund™ will charge applicable Fees to any valid payment method that you authorize (“Authorized Payment Method”), and ProFund™ will continue to charge the Authorized Payment Method for applicable Fees until the Services are terminated, and any and all outstanding Fees have been paid in full. All Fees and other charges are in U.S. dollars and all payments will be in U.S. currency.

3.1.3

Subscription Fees are paid in advance and will be billed in 30-day intervals (each such date, a “Billing Date”). Subscription Overage Fees are paid in arrears at the Billing Date for overages that occurred in the immediately preceding billing period. Transaction Fees and Additional Fees will be charged from time to time as incurred or otherwise at ProFund™’s discretion. You will be charged on each Billing Date for all outstanding Fees that have not previously been charged. Fees will appear on an invoice, which will be sent to the Primary Email Address provided. Also, an invoice will appear on the Admin section of your ProFund™ account. Users have fifteen (15) days to bring up and settle any issues with the billing of Subscription Fees.

3.1.4

If we are not able to process payment of Fees using an Authorized Payment Method, we may make subsequent attempts to process payment using any Authorized Payment Method. If we are unable to successfully process payment of Fees using an Authorized Payment Method we may suspend and revoke access to your Account and the Services. Your Account will be reactivated upon your payment of any outstanding Fees, plus the Fees applicable to your next billing cycle.

3.1.5

All Fees are exclusive of applicable federal, state, local or other governmental taxes now in force or enacted in the future (“Taxes”). You are responsible for all applicable Taxes that arise from or because of your subscription to or purchase of the Services. To the extent ProFund™ charges these Taxes, they are calculated using the tax rates that apply based on the billing address you provide to us. Such amounts are in addition to the Fees for such products and services and will be billed to your Authorized Payment Method. If you are not charged Taxes by ProFund™, you are responsible for determining if Taxes are payable, and if so, self-remitting Taxes to the appropriate tax authorities in your jurisdiction.

3.1.6

For the avoidance of doubt, all sums payable by you to ProFund™ hereunder will be paid free and clear of any deductions or withholdings whatsoever. Other than Taxes charged by ProFund™ to you and remitted to the appropriate tax authorities on your behalf, any deductions or withholdings that are required by law will be borne by you and paid separately to the relevant taxation authority. ProFund™ will be entitled to charge the full amount of Fees stipulated hereunder to your Authorized Payment Method ignoring any such deduction or withholding that may be required.

3.2

Liability for Affiliates and End Users. You are responsible for all activity occurring under or relating to your account, including, but not limited to, your staff, employees, consultants, advisors, independent contractors, and End Users. You will ensure that your Affiliates and End Users comply with relevant provisions of this Agreement, including any Supplemental Terms and acceptable use policies provided or made available by ProFund™, and any applicable local, state, national and foreign laws, including those related to data privacy and transmission of personal data, at all times while using the Services. Any reference in this Agreement to your “access” or “use” of Services (or similar phrase) is deemed to include access or use, as appropriate, by Affiliates and/or End Users, and any act or omission of an Affiliate or End User that does not comply with this Agreement will be deemed a breach of this Agreement by you. You are also responsible for ensuring that you have the appropriate rights to interact and/or contact End Users through the Services, as applicable, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

3.3

Fair Lending Requirements and Best practices. The Services include “one-click” access to third-party financial services that are Third-Party Offerings hereunder, including the ability for you to send a link to a prospective borrower that permits the prospective borrower to participate in a search and matching service for the purpose of finding loan offers. ProFund™ is not a lending institution, loan broker, agent, advisor or other financially related service provider itself. Any financial or lending-related discussions initiated or held with a prospective borrower by you, your employees, agents or affiliates, including the offering of financing or the offer to provide access to financing, must comply with fair lending requirements, best practices and with any merchant agreement you have entered into with a lender or lender platform provider.

3.3.1

You agree to follow and comply with the following customer engagement guidelines:
a. Do not discuss with a prospective borrower the likelihood of his or her approval for a loan
b. Do not provide any misleading, confusing or incomplete information regarding loan offers including interest rates or any terms and conditions.
c. Do not obtain credit reports on borrowers.
d. Do not add any specific fee to prices charged to a specific borrower for applying for or using a loan.
e. Do not discriminate amongst borrowers.
f. Do not take advantage of or influence to enter a financial transaction any vulnerable person, including specifically someone who is elderly and/or physically or mentally disabled or impaired and may be incapable of making a sound financial decision.

3.5

Restrictions on Use. You agree that you and anyone you’re responsible for in this Agreement will not violate the Agreement or engage in any of the prohibited conduct. You and your Affiliates and End Users will not: (i) submit any infringing, obscene, defamatory, threatening, or otherwise unlawful or tortious material to the Services, including material that violates privacy rights; (ii) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Services or the data contained therein; (iii) attempt to gain access to the Services or related systems or networks in a manner not permitted by this Agreement; (iv) post, transmit or otherwise make available through or in connection with the Services any virus, worm, Trojan horse, Easter egg, time bomb, spyware or other harmful computer code, files, scripts, agents or programs; (v) restrict or inhibit any other person or entity from using the Services; (vi) remove any copyright, trademark or other proprietary rights notice from the Services; (vii) frame or mirror any portion of the Services, or otherwise incorporate any portion of the Services into any product or service; (viii) systematically download and store Services content; or (ix) use the Services to send unsolicited electronic messages (aka spamming); or (x) use any robot, spider, site search/retrieval application or other manual or automatic device to retrieve, index, “scrape,” “data mine” or otherwise gather Services content, or reproduce or circumvent the navigational structure or presentation of the Services.

3.6

User Names and Passwords. You will keep all user names and passwords confidential. ProFund™ may reject or require that you change any user name or password under your account. User names and passwords are for internal business use only and may not be shared with any third party, including any competitor of ProFund™.

This data may include the age group of the homeowner, years in home, proprietary qualitative scoring of the homeowner’s buying styles, and size and condition of the roof, among other items. Your use of this data is restricted to viewing only while logged in to the Software Service and without limiting other provisions and restrictions of use set forth in this Agreement, you are specifically prohibited from sharing, copying, displaying or in any other manner or method allowing any person not an End User under your account to view such data, including, specifically, the homeowner. To the extent the Services include creation of a specific property report (“Property Report”) derived from the homeowner profile data and designed for the specific purpose of presenting or sharing with a homeowner, then in such circumstance where a Property Report has been generated to be presented to a homeowner, the restriction on use of the referenced data contained herein shall not apply to the extent of the data included in the specific Property Report.

You hereby grant to ProFund™ a nonexclusive, worldwide, assignable, sublicensable, fully paid-up and royalty-free license and right to copy, distribute, display and perform, publish, prepare derivative works of and otherwise use Your Data for the purposes of providing, improving and developing ProFund™’s or its affiliates’ products and services and/or complementary products and services of our partners.
