NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, mutual covenants and conditions herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
- ONLINE LISTING SERVICE: Pursuant to this Agreement and that certain Annual Subscription Agreement by and between User and Off Campus Partners dated the date hereof (the "Subscription Agreement"), Off Campus Partners hereby agrees to permit User to post properties for rent (the "Service") on a student-searchable service site published by Off Campus Partners at the URL: https://offcampus.lasalle.edu (the "Service Site") and to provide data entry services for User in relation to the Service Site.

User agrees not to resell or make any commercial use of the Service without the express consent of Off Campus Partners. User further acknowledges that Off Campus Partners has published certain operating rules on the Service Site and that User has, in signing the subscription agreement, agreed to those rules and policies.
- CONTENT: User agrees to provide certain current, complete, and accurate information about User as prompted to do so by the Service, and to maintain and update this information as required to keep it current, complete and accurate. Off Campus Partners shall provide data entry services as necessary to post this information on the Service Site. All such information shall be referred to as "Registration Data". User is solely responsible for any software, music sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages, files or other materials ("Content") which are transmitted, posted, or distributed by User through the Service, including but not limited to the contents of User's e-mail communications and photos posted by User on the Service Site or through the Service. Subject to the terms of Off Campus Partners' privacy policy, User agrees that upon posting any Content on the Service or the Service Site or providing such information to Off Campus Partners for posting on the Service Site, including but not limited to text and photographs, User grants to Off Campus Partners, and its successors and assigns, a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, non-revocable license under your copyrights or other intellectual property rights, if any, in and to the content, to distribute, display, and reproduce such Content to other users of the Service. User also grants Off Campus Partners the right to authorize the downloading and printing in whole or in part of any Content that User has posted to the Off Campus Partners Site or through the Service by end users for their personal use.
- USER SUPPORT: Off Campus Partners maintains a customer service line and e-mail account that is available to User between 9:00 am - 5:00 pm ET Monday through Friday. In the event that User encounters an interruption in, or difficulty with, the Services, User agrees to contact customer service by e-mail or phone with a description of the problem. Off Campus Partners will initially respond to problem reports by e-mail or phone within seventy-two (72) business hours. Off Campus Partners agrees that its personnel will be appropriately trained to answer the telephone and speak with User in a positive and professional manner.
- PRICE: In consideration for Off Campus Partners' provision of the Services, User hereby agrees to pay Off Campus Partners in the amounts and at the times indicated in the Subscription Agreement attached hereto.

- NO "SPAMMING": User will not use the Service for chain letters, junk mail, "Spamming" or any use of distribution lists to any person who has not given specific permission to be included in such a process.

OFF CAMPUS PARTNERS MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET USER REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR FREE; NOR DOES OFF CAMPUS PARTNERS MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICE. Off Campus Partners shall, however, provide customer support to User for interruptions or errors in the Service as described in Section 3 hereto.
- LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: OFF CAMPUS PARTNERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, USE, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLES, EVEN IF OFF CAMPUS PARTNERS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, RESULTING FROM THE USE OR THE INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE OR FOR COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS AND SERVICES.

- INDEMNIFICATION: User agrees to indemnify and hold Off Campus Partners, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers and employees, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of User's use of the Service, the violation of this Agreement by User, or the infringement by User (or other user of the Service using User's computer) of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity.
- CHANGE IN PROPERTY OWNERSHIP OR MANAGEMENT: In the event User wishes to transfer ownership or management of a property posted for rent on the Service Site, it will provide prior written notice to Off Campus Partners of such intended transfer, identifying the pertinent property in the notice and further including in such notice the name and contact information of and for the new owner or manager. The prior written consent of Off Campus Partners is a prerequisite to the assumption of this Agreement by a successor owner or manager, and such new owner or manager will be required to assume responsibility in writing for all obligations of User hereunder. Unless so assumed, User will continue to be obligated under this Agreement until the end of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable. In such case, User may request that Off Campus Partners remove the property listing from the Service Site.

Expiration or termination of the Subscription Agreement shall also constitute termination of this Agreement.

User and Off Campus Partners agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the state of North Carolina, provided, however, that either party may elect to settle any litigation in any way arising out of or relating to the Agreement by binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. If elected, such arbitration shall be conducted in Raleigh, North Carolina, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered into in any court having jurisdiction thereof. If any provision(s) of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, then such provision(s) shall be construed, as nearly as possible, to reflect the intentions of the parties with the other provisions remaining in full force and effect. Off Campus Partners' failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by Off Campus Partners in writing. User and Off Campus Partners agree that any lawsuit arising out of or related to this Service must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action arose; otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred. The section titles in this Agreement are solely used for the convenience of the parties and have no legal or contractual significance.
- SEPARABILITY OF PROVISIONS: Each provision of this Agreement shall be considered separable. If for any reason any provision or provisions herein are determined to be invalid and contrary to any existing or future law, such invalidity shall not impair the operation of or affect those portions of this Agreement that are valid.
- AMENDMENTS. Except as provided herein, no amendment, supplement or modification of any provision of this Agreement will be effective unless made in a writing that specifically identifies this Agreement and the provision intended to be amended, supplemented or modified and is signed by Off Campus Partners and User.
