- Third Party Links/Services
For the convenience and benefit of our clients and prospective clients, we will, from time to time, engage various third party service providers (collectively, “Vendors”) to provide certain services (other than the Services) such as application processing, background and credit screening, utilities transfer/connection, moving, resident account management, and other services (collectively, “Tenant Services”) which are accessible via links from the Site. Although Tenant Services may be “white labeled” with our name and branding and/or email addresses and phone numbers, such Tenant Services are managed exclusively by the Vendors. To use Tenant Services and access Vendor systems, you may be required to set up an account and provide various personal and financial information to the Vendor. Please note that your use of Tenant Services will be subject to each Vendor’s terms and privacy policies – not ours. These Terms apply solely to our Site and does not apply to Tenant Services and/or any other websites to which we may provide links. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or opinions expressed in such linked Vendors or websites, and the inclusion of such links on our Site does not imply our approval or endorsement of such websites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for and cannot control the terms of use, privacy policies and conditions of Vendors or other websites. We encourage you to be aware of when you leave our Site (i.e., whenever you are required to register or login), and to read the Vendor terms of use and privacy policy of each Tenant Service and other website you access and use.

To the full extent allowed by law, we disclaim all warranties, terms, or conditions, express or implied, either in fact or by operation of law, statutory or otherwise, including warranties, terms, or conditions of merchantability, and fitness for a particular purpose. We neither assume nor authorize any other person to assume for us any other liability in connection with the sale and use of the Services or services provided by Property or any third-party.
