The following terms and conditions (the "Terms of Use") apply to your use of this Site well as to any other versions or pages of the Site that Rentrilla operates, including versions or pages that are co-brands or private labels with its affiliates or partners (collectively "Affiliates"). By using the Site, you explicitly accept these Terms of Use including the content of those other pages and websites referred to in this document as they may contain further terms and conditions that apply to you. Underlined words and phrases are links to these pages and websites. In some cases, we and a user may enter into a separate written agreement or contract providing other terms and conditions of our agreement and incorporating these Terms of Use by reference. The term "Agreement" shall mean the agreement formed between you and us pursuant to these Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, the Equal Housing Opportunity Policy, the Advertising Policy, any other terms and conditions posted on this Site, and any other written agreement between you and us, as the same may be modified from time to time.

2. SITE INFORMATION AND NATURE OF SERVICES. Rentrilla does not broker, lease, or sublease properties directly and is not a party to any transaction between landlords (including, as applicable, property management companies and/or property managers) and renters. Rentrilla does not: (a) guarantee or ensure any property or any transaction between a renter and landlord; (b) collect or process payment or execute any lease or sublease documentation on behalf of renters or landlords; or (c) broker, lease, or sublease or offer to broker, lease or sublease, or own any property.

You are strongly encouraged to personally inspect any property advertised for rent prior to signing any lease documentation, providing personal information such as a social security number on a lease application, or wiring or otherwise sending money for any deposit, rent payment or application fee.

Rentrilla operates a platform as an online advertising and research service for renters, landlords and property managers desiring to advertise or rent residential rental properties. Rentrilla does not broker, lease, or sublease properties directly and is not a party to any transaction between landlords (including, as applicable, property management companies and/or property managers; collectively the “Lessor(s)”) and renters. Advertisements on the Site are based on information provided by the Lessors. Accordingly, Rentrilla is not responsible in any way for the content in any such advertisements, nor is Rentrilla responsible for any actual lease transaction between a potential Renter and a Lessor. Rentrilla does not render legal, brokerage, or other professional advice or services to either its Renter or Lessor customers.

• Rentrilla does not participate in any actual lease transactions, including, without limitation, negotiations, discussions, or proposals, and you expressly waive any requirement that purports to impose on Rentrilla an obligation to perform any services other than those expressly undertaken by Rentrilla;


• Rentrilla is not undertaking any, and has no, duties to either Renters or Lessors, including, without limitation, the obligation to inspect rental properties, to verify the veracity of information contained in an advertisement, or to interview or otherwise screen Renters;


• Rentrilla is not responsible for the content of, nor does it endorse, the third-party websites to which you may link using this Website;


• Rentrilla does not guarantee the accuracy of any information available on this Website, and is not responsible for any errors, omissions, or misrepresentations, whether made by Lessors, Renters or otherwise and all information obtained on this Website must be verified independently;


• Rentrilla may make changes to its products and/or services and this Website at any time and without notifying you or receiving your consent; and


• While Rentrilla complies with applicable state and federal laws, including federal civil rights laws, Rentrilla cannot guarantee that its users so comply. Accordingly, Rentrilla assumes no liability for Renters' and/or Lessors' failures to comply with such laws.

3. TERMINATION OF SERVICE. You understand and agree that in Rentrilla’s sole discretion, and without prior notice, your access to this Site may be terminated or suspended, and Rentrilla may exercise any other remedy available and remove any advertisement or information, if Rentrilla believes that your use of the Site: (a) violate: (i) these Terms of Use; (ii) the rights of Rentrilla, any Affiliate or Licensor, or another User; or (iii) any law or regulation, or are otherwise objectionable or inappropriate; or (b) constitute fraudulent activity of any nature. You agree that monetary damages may not provide a sufficient remedy to Rentrilla for violations of these Terms of Use, and you consent to injunctive or other equitable relief for such violations without the requirement that Rentrilla post a bond. Rentrilla is not required to provide any refund to you if you are terminated as an authorized User because, in Rentrilla's sole discretion, you have violated these Terms of Use.

4. FEES AND SERVICES. As outlined in our Advertising Policy, prospective and actual renters ("Renters") may search the Site for available rental units (“Property” or "Properties") at no charge. Likewise, there is no charge to landlords or property managers ("Lessor(s)") to advertise their properties on the Site. Lessors should review our Advertising Policy to see when and under what conditions a charge is imposed. By submitting a Property's information, you, the Lessor consents to the placement of information about the Property on the Site, subject to our Privacy Policy and this Agreement. Rentrilla reserves the right to reject, suspend, and/or terminate, any Property advertisement submitted by Lessor at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to, (a) a determination that the Property advertisement violates this Agreement or any of our policies; and (b) the Lessor's failure to pay amounts owing to Rentrilla.

5. CONTENT. To assure the value of Rentrilla services, you agree that all of the information you have provided to Rentrilla, whether online or otherwise, is accurate and complete. Lessors shall be responsible for preparing and submitting the Property advertisements, and shall be solely liable for assuring that such advertisements are accurate, and comply with all applicable laws and our Advertising Policy. In addition, Lessors shall not:

• ask a Renter to wire funds, including by Western Union or MoneyGram;


• require a Renter to pay a nonrefundable lease application fee unless the Lessor has an actual or imminent vacancy; or


• advertise on Rentrilla any Property for which the lease term will be less than 31 days.

We store and process your information on computers located in the United States that are protected by physical as well as technological security devices. You can access and modify the information you provide us and opt-out of certain communications by signing-in to your account and going to your account page. We use third parties to verify and certify our privacy principles. If you object to your information being transferred or used in this way, please do not use our services.

14. RELEASE. Because Rentrilla is an advertising venue, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more users, you release Rentrilla, its parent and affiliates (and its respective officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of, or in any way connected with, such disputes.

16. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.

17. RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES. If a dispute arises between you and Rentrilla, our goal is to provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Accordingly, you and Rentrilla agree that we will resolve any claim or controversy at law or equity that arises out of this Agreement or our services (a "Claim") in accordance with one of the subsections below or as we and you otherwise agree in writing. Before resorting to these alternatives, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution by e-mailing us. We will consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation or arbitration, as alternatives to litigation.

• Law and Forum for Disputes. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Nevada. You agree that any Claim or dispute you may have against Rentrilla must be resolved by a court located in Carson City, Nevada, except as otherwise agreed by the parties or as described in the Arbitration Option paragraph below. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Carson City, Nevada, for the purpose of litigating all such Claims or disputes.


• Arbitration Option. For any Claim (excluding Claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000, the party requesting relief may elect to resolve the dispute in a cost-effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. In the event a party elects arbitration, he/she shall initiate such arbitration through an established alternative dispute resolution ("ADR") provider mutually agreed upon by the parties. The ADR provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: a) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and c) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.


• Improperly Filed Claims. All Claims you bring against us must be resolved in accordance with this Resolution of Disputes Section. All Claims filed or brought contrary to the Resolution of Disputes Section shall be considered improperly filed. Should you file a Claim contrary to the Resolution of Disputes Section, Rentrilla may recover attorneys' fees and costs up to $1,000, provided that Rentrilla has notified you in writing of the improperly filed Claim, and you have failed to promptly withdraw the Claim.

18. NOTICES. Except as explicitly stated otherwise, legal notices shall be served on Rentrilla's national registered address located at PMB#2465 502 E. John St. Rm E, Carson City, NV, 89706 or to the email address you provide to Rentrilla during the registration process (in your case). Notice shall be deemed given 24 hours after email is sent, unless the sending party is notified that the email address is invalid. Alternatively, if you are a Lessor, we may give you legal notice by mail to the address provided during the registration process. In such case, notice shall be deemed given three days after the date of mailing.

19. GENERAL. By using this Site and agreeing to the Terms of Use, you are also agreeing to abide by our Privacy Policy, Advertising Policy, and all other agreements and policies posted on this Site. Rentrilla is located at PMB#2465 502 E. John St. Rm E, Carson City, NV, 89706. In our sole discretion, we may assign the Agreement. Headings are for reference purposes only and do not limit the scope or extent of such section. Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. No agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by this Agreement. If any part of this agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the agreement shall continue in effect. Rentrilla may rely on your electronic signature to create a binding valid agreement. From time to time Rentrilla may send facsimiles or emails regarding its products and services, or shall call customers regarding Rentrilla's products and services, and you hereby expressly consent to receiving such emails, facsimiles and telephone calls. See Privacy Policy for more information. The following Sections and policies survive any termination of the Agreement: Fees and Services and Advertising Policy (with regard to any fees you owe us), Release, Content License, Limitation on Liability, Indemnity and Resolution of Disputes, Default and Remedies.

Rentrilla Privacy Policy

This website (the "Site") is owned and operated by Rentrilla, Inc. ("Rentrilla") a Nevada corporation. This Privacy Policy describes the collection, use and disclosure of information practices in connection with the Site. By accepting the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use in registration, you expressly consent to our collection, storage, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy, including its transfer to and storage on our servers in the United States.

This Policy applies to the national version of the Site, located at www.rentrilla.com, as well as to any other versions or pages of the Site that Rentrilla operates, including versions or pages that are co-brands or private labels with its affiliates or partners (collectively, "Affiliates"). Please be aware that Rentrilla may share any information you submit through this Site with Affiliates and during your visit to any Affiliate website, the Affiliate may independently collect other information from you.

1. COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION. While not all functions of the website require being a registered user, certain activities (e.g. viewing property contact information or advertising a property) do require registration. Rentrilla collects personally identifiable information on the Site only when you provide it. In most cases, the information we hold about you is collected on the Rentrilla website, but we may also collect information from private-label, co-branded and affiliate websites. Depending on the services used, we may collect and store the following personal information:

* contact information such as name, email address, address and telephone number;

* move-in date and demographic information such as gender, age, marital status, occupation, and other personal and lifestyle information (eg., if you respond to an optional survey request);

* financial information such as credit card or bank account numbers;

* guest card information, lease terms, lease parties and other transactional information; and

* information based on your activities on the website, such as search information, computer sign-on data, statistics on page views, traffic to, from and within the website, ad data, and IP address and standard web log information.

In addition, we may occasionally obtain supplemental information about you from third parties. For example, if you incur a debt to Rentrilla, we may conduct a credit check by obtaining additional information about you from a credit bureau, as permitted by law. As another example, if the information you provide cannot be verified, we may ask you to send us additional information (such as your driver's license, credit card statement, and/or a recent utility bill or other information confirming your address) or to answer additional questions online to help verify your identity.

2. COOKIES. We or our service providers may place cookies or web beacons on your computer when you visit portions of our website. We use permanent cookies to provide personalized features, such as automatically logging you into your personalized home page. We use session cookies, which are deleted when you log out of Rentrilla or browse to a different website, to monitor and improve the functionality and usability of our website. You can block our cookies by changing the settings on your browser (contact your ISP for help), but doing so may prevent us from delivering certain services to you.

We also may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our behalf. These companies may employ cookies and web beacons to measure advertising effectiveness. Any information that these third parties collect via cookies and web beacons is completely anonymous.

3. USE. Our primary purpose in collecting personal information is to provide you with a safe, smooth, efficient, and customized experience. We may use your personal information to:

• Provide the services and customer support you request, including confirming emails related to the website services, reminders and transactions.


• Provide the ability to communicate with Renters, Lessors and Roommates.


• Resolve disputes, collect fees and troubleshoot problems.


• Customize your experience and otherwise measure and improve our services and the website's content and layout.


• Tell you about targeted marketing, service updates, and promotional offers based on your communication preferences. (If we use your personal information to market to you, you will be able to opt-out of such uses; see 7. Opt-Out below.)


• Compare information for accuracy and verify it with third parties.


• Measure consumer interest in our products and services.


• Help promote a safe service and detect and prevent error, fraud and other potentially prohibited or illegal activity.


• Enforce our agreements, terms, condition, and policies.


• As otherwise described to you at the time of collection.

4. DISCLOSURE. We may share some or all of your personal information with:

• Rentrilla may share your personally identifiable information with Affiliates on the condition that the Affiliates' disclosure and use of the information is consistent with this Statement.


• Third-party rights owners or others in the good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our Terms of Use or Privacy Policy; respond to claims that an advertisement, posting or other content violates the rights of a third party; or protect the rights, property or personal safety of our users or the general public.


• Other third parties to whom you explicitly ask us to send your information, or about whom you are explicitly notified and consent to when using a specific service. (The information we disclose in this way may be subject to those third parties’ privacy policies.)


• Service providers under contract who help with our business operations (such as fraud investigations, bill collection, invoicing, affiliate and rewards programs and co-branded credit cards).


• Another business entity should we (or our assets) plan to merge with, or be acquired by that business entity. Should such a transaction occur, that other business entity (or the new combined entity) will be required to follow this privacy policy with respect to your personal information.

We may also disclose personal information if permitted to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to respond to subpoenas, court orders or other legal process.

5. MESSAGE BOARDS. Rentrilla also may offer message boards, bulletin boards, chat rooms, blogs, comments areas, or other forums (collectively "Forums") on the Site that are intended for use by visitors who are 18 years of age or older. Any information you disclose when posting a message in these Forums may become public. You should not include any information in your posting that you do not want other parties to see or use. Moreover, if you post any messages in the Forums that include your email address or phone number you may receive unsolicited email or calls from third parties.

6. COMMUNICATION. When a Renter contacts a Lessor by email, we will collect the content of the email in addition to other information related to the email. We may share these communications (or logs thereof) with Lessors so they can manage their communications with Renters. Without limiting any other provisions of this Policy, you expressly agree that we may use this data ("impression data") to enforce our rights to collect fees payable by the Lessors.

7. THIRD PARTIES. Except as otherwise expressly included in this Privacy Policy, this document addresses only the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. If you disclose your information to others, whether they are Renters, Lessors, Roommates or other sites throughout the Internet, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the information you disclose to them. Rentrilla does not control the privacy policies of third parties. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others.

Our website links to other websites that may collect personal information about you. Rentrilla is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those linked websites.

8. OPT-OUT. Rentrilla provides all users with the opportunity to opt out of receiving non-essential (promotional, marketing-related) communications from us on behalf of our partners, and from us in general, after setting up an account. To remove your contact information from all Rentrilla lists and newsletters, simply edit your email preferences.

9. ACCESSING, REVIEWING AND CHANGING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION. You can see, review and change most of your personal information by logging into the website and editing your account profile. You are responsible for updating your personal information if it changes or is inaccurate. Once you make a public posting, you may not be able to change or remove it. Upon your request, we will close your account and remove your personal information from view as soon as reasonably possible based on your account activity and in accordance with applicable law. We do retain personal information from closed accounts in order to comply with law, prevent fraud, collect any fees owed, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our Terms of Use, and take other actions otherwise permitted by law.

10. ACCOUNT PROTECTION. Your password is the key to your account. Use unique numbers, letters and special characters, and do not disclose your Rentrilla password to anyone. If you do share your password or your personal information with others, remember that you are responsible for all actions taken in the name of your account. If you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your personal information and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf. Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately notify Rentrilla and change your password.

11. SECURITY. Your information is stored on our servers located which may be located at various locations in the United States. We treat data as an asset that must be protected and use lots of tools (encryption, passwords, physical security, etc.) to protect your personal information against unauthorized access and disclosure. However, as you probably know, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, and other users may abuse or misuse your personal information that they collect from the website. Therefore, although we work very hard to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain private.

12. GENERAL. We may amend this Privacy Policy at any time by posting the amended terms on the website. All amended terms automatically take effect upon acceptance for new users, or 5 days after they are posted on the website for all other users.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Statement, please email us at inquiry@rentrilla.com.

Equal Housing Opportunity

Property owners and managers are subject to the federal Fair Housing Act, which prohibits "any preference, limitation, or discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin, or intention to make such preference, limitation or discrimination."

Rentrilla.com supports Equal Housing Opportunity and we encourage users of our site to follow appropriate guidelines to comply with both the Federal Housing Act, as well as any applicable state and local regulations. All renters are hereby informed that all property rental offers are available on an equal opportunity basis.

1. PROPERTY OWNER'S & MANAGER'S RESPONSIBILITIES As a property owner or manager you have a responsibility and a requirement under the law not to discriminate in the rental of property on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. You cannot instruct your agent to convey on your behalf any limitations in the rental because your agent is bound by law not to discriminate. Agents in a rental transaction are prohibited by law from discriminating on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. They are prohibited from complying with a request from the property owner or manager to act in a discriminatory manner in the lease or rental. Moreover, a property owner or manager cannot establish discriminatory terms or conditions in the purchase or rental, deny that housing is available, or advertise that the property is available only to persons of a certain race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national original.

2. RENTER'S RIGHTS As someone seeking to rent an apartment, home or condo, you have the right to expect that housing will be available to you without discrimination or other limitations based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. This includes the right to expect equal professional service, the opportunity to consider a broad range of housing choices, no discriminatory limitations on communities or locations of housing, no discrimination in the pricing or financing of housing, reasonable accommodations in rules, practices and procedures for persons with disabilities, and to be free from harassment or intimidation for exercising your fair housing rights.

3. THE LAW

Civil Rights Act of 1866 The Civil Rights Act of 1866 prohibits all racial discrimination in the sale or rental of property.

The Fair Housing Act The Fair Housing Act declares a national policy of fair housing throughout the United States, making illegal any discrimination in the sale, lease or rental of housing, or making housing otherwise unavailable, because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.

Americans with Disabilities Act Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities in places of public accommodations and commercial facilities.

The Equal Credit Opportunity Act The Equal Credit Opportunity Act makes discrimination unlawful with respect to any aspect of a credit application on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age or because all or part of the applicant's income derives from any public assistance program.

State and Local Laws State and local laws often provide broader coverage and prohibit discrimination based on additional classes not covered by federal law.
