Terms of Use

Version 3.0

LAST REVISED: SEPTEMBER 15, 2022 | EFFECTIVE: OCTOBER 26, 2022

This Terms of Service Agreement (the “Agreement”) governs the websites, mobile applications (“Applications”) and related services (collectively, the “Services”) offered or provided by Architizer, Inc. and its corporate affiliates (collectively, “Architizer”, “us”, “our”, and “we”). Certain features of the Services may be subject to additional guidelines, terms, or rules, which will be posted in the Services in connection with such features. All such additional terms, guidelines, and rules are incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

This Agreement sets forth the legally binding terms for your use of the Services whether you are simply a “Visitor” (which means you are just browsing the Services) or an “Authorized User”, which means you have registered to use them. Collectively, Visitors and Authorized Users are referred to as “Users” or individually as a “User” or “you”.

BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES, YOU ARE ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT (ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR THE ENTITY THAT YOU REPRESENT) AND YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT, AUTHORITY, AND CAPACITY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT (ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR THE ENTITY THAT YOU REPRESENT). YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES OR ACCEPT THE AGREEMENT IF YOU ARE NOT AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES.

• Accounts

  • Account Creation. In order to become an Authorized User and use certain Services, including for example, to create a firm profile, upload a project or list products in our catalog you must: (i) register for an account with Architizer (an “Architizer Account”) and provide certain information about yourself or your organization as prompted by the registration form and / or (ii) connect to the Services through a social networking site (an “SNS”) in which case we will access registration information that you authorize from the SNS. You represent and warrant that all required registration information you submit is truthful and accurate and you will maintain the accuracy of such information. Certain elements of the Service may not be accessible to all Users, and an Architizer Account may require further authorization by Architizer before you are granted such access, which may or may not be granted in Architizer’s sole discretion, and may be revoked or modified at any time by Architizer. You may delete your Architizer Account at any time, for any reason, by emailing support@architizer.com. Upon termination, we will remove your Content (as defined below) in accordance with Section 3(f). You acknowledge that you have no ownership or other property interest in your Architizer Account and that all rights in and to your Architizer Account are owned by and inure to the benefit of Architizer. Architizer may suspend or terminate your Architizer Account in accordance with Section 12.

  • Access through a SNS. If you access the Services through an SNS, you may link your Architizer Account with your account on the SNS by allowing us to access your SNS account. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SNS YOU USE TO ACCESS YOUR ARCHITIZER ACCOUNT IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR AGREEMENT(S) WITH THE SNS.

  • Account Credentials and Responsibilities. As part of the registration process you will be required to provide an email address and select a password (collectively “Credentials”), which you may not share with any third parties. If someone accesses the Services using your Credentials, we will rely on those Credentials and will assume that it is really you or your representative authorized by you who is accessing the Services. You are solely responsible for any and all use of your Credentials and all activities that occur in connection with your Credentials. We reserve the right to take any and all action, as we deem necessary or reasonable, to ensure the security of the Services and your Credentials, including terminating your access, changing your password, or requesting additional information to authorize activities related to your Credentials. You agree to immediately notify Architizer of any real or suspected unauthorized use. Architizer cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.

• Licenses; Our Technology; Restrictions on Use

  • Right to Use Services. Architizer grants you a non-transferable, non-exclusive, right to access and use the Services for your personal and professional use, subject at all times to the terms of this Agreement and any further agreements relating to Service features, including the restrictions on use, the acceptable use provisions and our right to remove your Content (as defined below), or suspend or limit access to, , or terminate, your Architizer Account at our discretion at any time.

Use of the Application is also subject to the provisions of Section 6(b).

  • Our Technology and Content. You agree that the software, code, proprietary methods and systems used to provide the Services (“our Technology”) and the materials, information and content made available or displayed by us on or through the Services, including all text, graphics, images and the look and feel (collectively “our Content”) are: (i) copyrighted by us, our licensors and/or other licensors under United States and international copyright laws; (ii) subject to other intellectual property and proprietary rights and laws; and (iii) owned by us or our licensors. The stylized Architizer trademark and the stylized “A” and other related graphics, logos, service marks and trade names used on or in connection with the Services are our trademarks (“our Marks”) and may not be used without permission in connection with any third-party products or services.

  • Feedback. Any comments, suggestions, or feedback relating to or provided through the Services (collectively “Feedback”) to Architizer shall become the property of Architizer or its designee. Architizer will not be required to treat any Feedback as confidential, and will not be liable for any ideas (including without limitation, product, Site or advertising ideas) and will not incur any liability as a result of any similarities that may appear in our future Services or operations. Without limitation, Architizer will have exclusive ownership of all present and future existing rights to the Feedback of every kind and nature everywhere and will be entitled to use the Feedback for any commercial or other purpose whatsoever, without compensation to you or any other person sending the Feedback. You acknowledge that you are responsible for whatever material you submit, and you, not Architizer, have full responsibility for the message, including its legality, reliability, appropriateness, originality, and copyright.

• User Content

  At the core of the Services are the architectural projects that make Architizer the largest online platform for architecture and design projects made available by designers themselves, giving other Users within the community inspiration. In addition, through our products section of the Services, we provide brands the opportunity to upload images and information about their products so that architects can learn about the tools and resources available to continue designing structures and spaces worthy of being an Architizer project. This section of the terms addresses your responsibilities for any User Content you make available through the Services.

  • Definition. When we say “User Content” we mean any and all information and content that a User submits to, or uses with, the Services, including but not limited to text, photographs, drawings, images, communications with others on the Services, videos, and anything else you post to, transmit through, or make available on, the Service. We may also refer to the User Content you upload as your Content. You may upload your Content in any number of contexts within the Services, including within your personal profile, firm profile, and brand pages.

  • You are Responsible for Your Content. You are solely responsible for your Content and assume all risks associated with use of your Content, including any reliance on its accuracy, completeness or usefulness by others, or any disclosure of your Content that makes you or any third party personally identifiable. You represent that any information you provide in connection with your Content (e.g., profiles, projects, communications, product offerings, advertisements, brand pages within the catalog and in pages that associate projects with products) are true, accurate and complete. Architizer makes no guarantee regarding the accuracy, currency, suitability or quality of any User Content, and we assume no responsibility for any User Content. Because you alone are responsible for your User Content, you may expose yourself to liability if, for example, your User Content is fraudulent, untruthful, or violates the Acceptable Use Policy or applicable law.

  • Disclaimer. You understand and agree that Architizer has no obligation to perform background searches or investigations on its Users. We are under no obligation to pre-screen your Content or the Content of any other User. Although Architizer may review, edit, remove or modify information from or on the Service, it does not control the sources of this information, and does not guarantee the accuracy, suitability, completeness, currency, quality, adequacy or applicability of any User Content or other information supplied or communicated by third parties. YOU AGREE THAT ARCHITIZER SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SUCH INFORMATION. YOUR RELIANCE ON ANY SUCH INFORMATION AND CONTENT IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

  • License. When you upload User Content to Architizer, you grant Architizer, our Users, our corporate affiliates (including our parent Material Technologies Corporation) and their users, a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid, fully sublicensable, fully transferrable worldwide license, under any and all of your copyright, trademarks and other intellectual property rights, to use, display, reproduce, re-post, modify (e.g., re-format), re-arrange, store, create derivative works of and distribute your Content in connection with the provision or receipt of our Services and similar services provided by our corporate affiliates, including, to facilitate architecture and design directories, inspiration platforms and other resources for the design community. Without limiting anything we just said, you authorize us and our corporate affiliates to: (i) combine your Content with other content, including content associated with the Services and similar services provided by our corporate affiliates and/or owned and licensed by us or our corporate affiliates and (ii) allow others to do the same. Please remember that Architizer is a public platform, and that other Users may search for, see, use, and/or re-post any of your Content that you make available through the Services.

  • Warranty. You represent and warrant: (i) that you own your Content or are authorized by the Content owner to post your Content and grant Architizer the licenses granted in Section 3(c) above, (ii) your Content will not violate the Acceptable Use Policy, (iii) that you will not use your Content to engage in deceptive or unfair trade practices or (iv) otherwise engage in illegal activity.

  • Storage. You may be able to store your Content in many areas within the Services including in your profiles, projects, brand pages, and sourcebooks. We provide these storage capabilities as a convenience to you. You represent and warrant that that Services are not the single repository for your Content and acknowledge that you, and not Architizer, are responsible for ensuring your Content is backed up. Architizer has no responsibility or liability for the deletion, backup or loss of any of your Content. You agree that Architizer retains the right to create reasonable limits on Architizer’s use and storage of your Content, such as limits on file size, storage space, processing capacity, and similar limits as determined by us in our sole discretion.

  • Removal. If you wish to remove a firm profile, project listing, brand profile or product listing in whole or part, you may do so through the Services or by contacting support@architizer.com. If you wish to remove a user profile in whole or in part, you may do so by contacting support@architizer.com. Please note that removal of a user profile does not remove any corresponding firm profile unless specifically requested and the request is verified by Architizer. We will comply with your request for removal as soon as practicable, subject to the following: we may continue to use anonymous information derived from your Content in accordance with our Privacy Policy and we may retain the Content in a non-production environment to comply with laws, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our Terms of Use, and take any other action otherwise permitted by law. Notwithstanding any such removal, the licenses set forth in Section 3(c) above will not be terminated for any uses of your Content within the scope of such licenses prior to the date you removed the Content (for example, if we used one of your images in a blog prior to termination, such images would remain in the blog). If you send us a written notice to support@architizer.com, we’ll make reasonable efforts to stop using the removed Content, however, we may not be able to cease our use and we will have no ability to require others who are already making alternative uses of the Content to cease their uses.

• Acceptable Use Policy

  As with any public platform, we encourage you to be thoughtful about the information that you make available to others both with respect to your own safety and the sensitivities of others. All Users must comply with the acceptable use policy in this section as compliance is critical to keeping the Architizer community a community. Accordingly, you agree not to:

  • harvest, collect, gather or assemble information or data regarding other users, including e-mail addresses, without their and our consent;
  • interfere with, disrupt, or create an undue burden on servers or networks connected to the Services or violate the regulations, policies or procedures of such networks;
  • attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services, other computer systems or networks connected to or used together with the Services, through password mining or other means;
  • harass or interfere with another user’s use and enjoyment of the Services;
  • introduce software or automated agents or scripts to the Services so as to produce multiple accounts, generate automated searches, requests and queries, or to strip, scrape, or mine data from the Services (except that we grant the operators of public search engines revocable permission to use spiders to copy materials from the Services for the sole purpose of and solely to the extent necessary for creating publicly available searchable indices of the materials, but not caches or archives of such materials);
  • harass, defame, libel, defraud, threaten, infringe the privacy of, or tortuously injure the Service’s users and customers;
  • upload, transmit, display or distribute any offensive, discriminatory, obscene, vulgar, patently offensive, harmful or pornographic content, or any content that is otherwise objectionable;
  • infringe on our Intellectual Property Rights (“IP Rights”) or the IP Rights of third parties, which may encompass copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or other proprietary rights;
  • interfere with our ability to provide Services to our users and subscribers;
  • upload, post, e-mail, transmit or otherwise make available any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, “junk mail,” “spam,” “chain letters,” “pyramid schemes,” or any other form of solicitation;
  • systematically retrieve data or other content from our Services to create or compile, directly or indirectly, in single or multiple downloads, a collection, compilation, database, directory or the like, whether by manual methods, through the use of bots, crawlers, spiders, or otherwise;
  • use, display, mirror or frame the Services, or any individual element within the Services, including our Marks or other proprietary information, or the layout and design of any page or form contained on a page, without our express written consent, and use any unauthorized software that accesses, intercepts, “mines” or otherwise collects information from or through the Services or that is in transit from or to the Services, including, but not limited to, any software that reads areas of RAM or streams of network traffic used by the Services.

• Interactions with Other Users

  • Other Users. We are building a community and it seems natural to us that as a member of our community you will have interactions with other members who you may first encounter through the Services. While we encourage interaction, we make clear that you are solely responsible for your interactions with other Users of the Services and any other parties with whom you interact through the Services; provided, however, we reserve the right, but have no obligation, to intercede in any disputes. You agree that Architizer will not be responsible for any liability incurred as the result of such interactions. You understand that WE DO NOT INQUIRE into the backgrounds of OUR registered users or attempt to verify the statements of OUR registered users. WE MAKE no representations or warranties as to the conduct of registered users. A USER’S APPEARANCE WITHIN THE SERVICES (e.g., within the firm profile or listing a product in the catalog) DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN ENDORSEMENT OF SUCH USER BY ARCHITIZER AND NO ENDORSEMENT SHOULD BE DEEMED, IMPLIED OR INFERRED.
  • A Word About the Marketplace and Projects. As part of the Services, architects and design professionals create and make available information about themselves, their firms, their services and projects. Similarly, brands provide information about their products. There are tools made available within the Services that allow Users to tie products and projects so Users can see how certain products were used within a project. We hope this connection between products and projects is both inspirational and informative. We make clear, however, that many (if not most) of the connections between products and projects are established by Users; many (if not most) of the projects are uploaded by architects and designers and many (if not most) of the products in the catalog are uploaded by brands. While we reserve the right to fact-check any statement and to remove any Content, as a general rule we do not fact check and we rely on the community for providing accurate information. We repeat that we are not responsible for any inaccurate information on the Services. We acknowledge, and indeed expect, that the Services will facilitate the sale of services and products between Users. We are not, however, responsible for any such transaction, nor should we be deemed, implied or inferred to be a party to any such transaction, even if we have received remuneration in connection with the transaction.

• Third-Party Services

  • Third-Party Websites & Ads. The Services, both inside and outside our catalog and the products section of the Services, may contain links to third-party websites (“Third-Party Websites”), promotions and advertisements for third parties (collectively, “Third-Party Websites & Ads”). When you click on a link to a Third-Party Website or Ad, we will not warn you that you have left the Services and are subject to the terms and conditions (including privacy policies) of another website or destination. The Third-Party Websites are not under the control of Architizer. Architizer is not responsible for any Third-Party Websites & Ads. We provide these Third-Party Websites & Ads only as a convenience and do not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to Third-Party Websites & Ads, or their products or services. You use all links in Third-Party Websites & Ads at your own risk. When you leave our Services, our Terms and policies no longer govern. You should review applicable terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices, of any Third-Party Websites, and should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any transaction with any third party.
  • App Store. When you download our Applications, you will do so through Apple Corporation’s App Store, another third party. You acknowledge that this Agreement is between you and us and not the App Store. As between the App Store and us, we, not the App Store, are solely responsible for the Services, including the Application, the content, maintenance, support services, and warranty, and addressing any claims relating (e.g., product liability, legal compliance or intellectual property infringement). In order to use the Application, you must have access to a wireless network, and you agree to pay all fees associated with such access. You also agree to pay all fees (if any) charged by the App Store in connection with the Services, including the Application. You acknowledge that the App Store (and its subsidiaries) are third-party beneficiaries of the Agreement and will have the right to enforce its terms. The following applies to any Application accessed through or downloaded from the Apple App Store (“App Store Sourced Application”):
    • You acknowledge and agree that (i) the Terms are concluded between you and Architizer only, and not Apple, and (ii) as between Architizer and Apple, Architizer, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App Store Sourced Application and content thereof. Your use of the App Store Sourced Application must comply with the App Store Terms of Service.
    • You acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App Store Sourced Application.
    • In the event of any failure of the App Store Sourced Application to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App Store Sourced Application to you and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App Store Sourced Application. As between Architizer and Apple, any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of Architizer.
    • You and we acknowledge that, as between Architizer and Apple, Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims you have or any claims of any third party relating to the App Store Sourced Application or your possession and use of the App Store Sourced Application, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App Store Sourced Application fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
    • You and we acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that the App Store Sourced Application or your possession and use of that App Store Sourced Application infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, as between Architizer and Apple, Architizer, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by the Agreement.
    • You and we acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of the Agreement as related to your license of the App Store Sourced Application, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce the Agreement as related to your license of the App Store Sourced Application against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.
    • Without limiting any other terms of the Agreement, you must comply with all applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App Store Sourced Application.

• Payment of Fees

  In association with or through the Services, you may be able to purchase certain goods or services, such as listing your products in our catalog and placing an employment advertisement in the professional tab of the Services. If you make such a purchase, you agree to pay the then-current applicable fee listed in the Services and agreed to at checkout. We may change the pricing from time to time in our sole discretion by updating the listed price in the Services and without any additional notice to you. We may invoice you for the applicable fees or ask a third party (“Payment Provider”) to process charge card payments on our behalf. You must provide our Payment Provider with a valid credit card (Visa, MasterCard or any other issuer accepted by us) as a condition to such transactions. The Payment Provider’s policies govern the processing of your payment, and you must refer to those policies and not this Agreement to determine your rights and liabilities. By providing your credit card number and associated payment information through the Services, you authorize us through our Payment Provider to immediately invoice you for all fees and charges due and payable to us hereunder, and you agree that no additional notice or consent is required. We reserve the right at any time to change our payment terms, either immediately upon posting on the Services, by email delivery to you or any other reasonable method of communication.

• Indemnity

  You agree to indemnify and hold Architizer (and our officers, employees, and agents) harmless, including costs and attorneys’ fees, from any claim or demand due to or arising out of (a) your use of the Services, (b) your Content, (c) your violation of this Agreement; or (d) your violation of applicable laws or regulations. We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us and you agree to cooperate with our defense of these claims. You agree not to settle any matter without our prior written consent. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action or proceeding upon becoming aware of it.

• Disclaimers

  THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” AND WE (AND OUR SUPPLIERS) EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE (AND OUR SUPPLIERS) MAKE NO WARRANTY THAT THE SITE OR SERVICES: (A) WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS; (B) WILL BE AVAILABLE ON AN UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE BASIS; OR (C) WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL CODE, COMPLETE, LEGAL, OR SAFE.
  SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

• Limitation on Liability

  IN NO EVENT WILL WE (AND OUR SUPPLIERS) BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFIT OR ANY DIRECT INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. ACCESS TO, AND USE OF, THE SERVICES ARE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR LOSS OF DATA RESULTING THEREFROM.
  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, OUR LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT (FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION), WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100) OR (B) AMOUNTS YOU’VE PAID ARCHITIZER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN THE 12 MONTHS PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DAY THE CLAIM AROSE (IF ANY). THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE CLAIM WILL NOT ENLARGE THIS LIMIT.
  YOU AGREE THAT OUR SUPPLIERS WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.
  SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

• Release

  You hereby release and forever discharge us (and our officers, employees, agents, successors, and assigns) from, and hereby waive and relinquish, each and every past, present and future dispute, claim, controversy, demand, right, obligation, liability, action and cause of action of every kind and nature (including personal injuries, death, and property damage), that has arisen or arises directly or indirectly out of, or relates directly or indirectly to, any interactions with, or act or omission of, other Service users or Third Party Sites & Advertisements. IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU HEREBY WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542 IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING, WHICH STATES: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

• Term and Termination

  Subject to this Section, this Agreement will remain in full force and effect while you use the Services. We may (a) suspend, limit and/or revise your rights to use the Services (including your Architizer Account and permissions previously granted to your Architizer Account) or (b) terminate this Agreement, at any time for any reason or no reason at all, at our sole discretion, including but not limited to any use of the Services in violation of this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, your Architizer Account and right to access and use the Site and Services will terminate immediately. You understand that any termination of your Architizer Account may involve deletion of your Content associated from our live databases. Architizer will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any termination of this Agreement, including for termination of your Architizer Account or deletion of your Content. Even after this Agreement is terminated, the following provisions of this Agreement will remain in effect: Sections 2(c) through 2(e) and 3 – 17, and any other provisions that by their nature shall survive termination will survive.

• Copyright Policy

  We respect the intellectual property of others and ask that users of our Services do the same. In connection with our Services, we have adopted and implemented a policy respecting copyright law that provides for the removal of any infringing materials and for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of users of our Services who are repeat infringers of intellectual property rights, including copyrights. If you believe that one of our users is, through the use of our Services, unlawfully infringing the copyright(s) in a work, and wish to have the allegedly infringing material removed, the following information in the form of a written notification (pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)) must be provided to our designated Copyright Agent:

  • your physical or electronic signature;
  • identification of the copyrighted work(s) that you claim to have been infringed;
  • identification of the material on our services that you claim is infringing and that you request us to remove;
  • sufficient information to permit us to locate such material;
  • your address, telephone number, and e-mail address;
  • a statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the objectionable material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or under the law; and
  • a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are either the owner of the copyright that has allegedly been infringed or that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

  Please note that, pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any misrepresentation of material fact (falsities) in a written notification automatically subjects the complaining party to liability for any damages, costs and attorney’s fees incurred by us in connection with the written notification and allegation of copyright infringement.
  
  The designated Copyright Agent for Architizer is:

• Privacy Policy

  Please review our Privacy Policy, located at www.architizer.com/privacy-policy, which governs the use of personal information on the Site and the Services.

• Refund Policy

  You may request a refund within 2 business days of your transaction by sending an email to accounts@architizer.com. You can expect your refund within 5 business days. We will notify you via email once your refund is processed. We would also appreciate additional feedback to order to improve our Services to our customers. Purchases are non-refundable after the refund window identified above.

• Arbitration Agreement And Jury Trial Waiver, Class Action Waiver, And Forum Selection Clause

  • Any and all controversies, disputes, demands, counts, claims, or causes of action (including the interpretation and scope of this clause, and the arbitrability of the controversy, dispute, demand, count, claim, or cause of action) between you and us or our employees, agents, successors, or assigns, will exclusively be settled through binding and confidential arbitration.
  • Arbitration will be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration law. The arbitration will be conducted before one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). As modified by this Agreement, and unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively “Rules and Procedures”).
  • You are thus GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights EXCEPT for matters that may be taken to small claims court. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. You are entitled to a FAIR HEARING, BUT the arbitration procedures are SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.
  • You and Architizer must abide by the following rules: (a) ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU OR US MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING; (b) THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF, (c) in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, we will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation, (d) we also reserve the right in our sole and exclusive discretion to assume responsibility for all of the costs of the arbitration; (e) the arbitrator will honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized at law; (f) the arbitration will be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award; (g) the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law; and (h) each side pays its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees’ and litigation expenses, and then in such instance, the fees and costs awarded will be determined by the applicable law.
  • Notwithstanding the foregoing, either You or we may bring an individual action in small claims court. Further, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret will not be subject to this arbitration agreement. Such claims will be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts located in New York, New York. Additionally, notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before the state or federal courts located in New York, New York in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration, and hereby agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within New York, New York for such purpose. A request for interim measures will not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate.
  • With the exception of subparts (a) and (b) in the paragraph above (prohibiting arbitration on a class or collective basis), if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures, then the balance of this arbitration provision will remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, either subpart (a) or (b) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision will be null and void, and neither You nor we will be entitled to arbitration. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute will be exclusively brought in state or federal court in New York, New York.
