I. ABOUT THE SERVICES
BeeKee engineers various services that streamline and simplify all of the people, products, services, documents and workflow needed to buy, sell and improve a home. Our Services connect and support everyone that is part of the process: seller, buyer, agent, vendor and neighbor. Our App provides a business automation platform that allows Home Professionals to manage calendaring, contacts, billing credit card collection and leads. In addition it provides a technology platform to assist in buying and selling a home either by owner, limited service in-house advisor or through a traditional real estate agent relationship.
BeeKee is not a real estate broker, agent or salesperson, and is not a legal accounting, or financial advisor and does not provide home services of any type. BeeKee is a technology platform. We are not representing you in the sale or purchase of your home or with respect to any repair, improvement or other home service. Any real estate, mortgage, insurance or other licensed professional advice provided by a licensed broker or salesperson through the BeeKee platform is their independent advice.

2. Fees. We charge a fee for some of our Services. If a fee is required to use a Service, we will tell you at the time you ask about the Service. Our fees may change from time to time. All of our fees are non-refundable unless otherwise required by law.
(a) Home Sales - DIY or PRO. If you are selling a home using our DIY or PRO platform version, when you publish your listing on the Listing Sites (defined below) through the Service, you will be entering into a Platform Listing Contract [KD(1] (defined below) to pay BeeKee a platform fee depending on the final sales price of your home . The platform fee will be paid partially upfront and the balance will be paid out of escrow at closing. We will provide you with a copy of the Platform Listing Contract. You must provide a copy of the Platform Listing Contract to the escrow officer for the property sale and instruct the escrow officer to pay the BeeKee fee to BeeKee out of escrow at close of escrow. In addition, you authorize BeeKee to provide a copy of the Platform Listing Contract to the escrow officer for the property sale, and to instruct the escrow officer to pay the BeeKee fee out of escrow at close of escrow.
(b) Home Sales – Concierge. If you sell your home using the Concierge platform version, the agent you choose to use for full service real estate services will pay the BeeKee platform fee partially when you choose the agent and the balance will be paid by the real estate agent at the close of escrow.
(c) Paid Services. Certain of our Services may be subject to payments now or in the future (the “Paid Services”). Please see www.beekee.com for a description of the current Paid Services. Please note that any payment terms presented to you in the process of using or signing up for a Paid Service are deemed part of these Terms of Use.
(d) Billing. We use a third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”) to bill you through a payment account linked to your Account on the Services (your “Billing Account”) for use of the Paid Services. The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor in addition to these Terms of Use. We are not responsible for errors by the Payment Processor. By choosing to use Paid Services, you agree to pay us, through the Payment Processor, all charges at the prices then in effect for any use of such Paid Services in accordance with the applicable payment terms and you authorize us, through the Payment Processor, to charge your chosen payment provider (your “Payment Method”). You agree to make payment using that selected Payment Method. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes made by the Payment Processor even if it has already requested or received payment.
(e) Payment Method. The terms of your payment will be based on your Payment Method and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer or other provider of your chosen Payment Method. If we, through the Payment Processor, do not receive payment from you, you agree to pay all amounts due on your Billing Account upon demand.
(f) Recurring Billing. Some of the Paid Services may consist of an initial period, for which there is a one-time charge, followed by recurring period charges as agreed to by you. By choosing a recurring payment plan, you acknowledge that such Paid Services have an initial and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation. WE MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES (E.G., MONTHLY) WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU, UNTIL YOU PROVIDE PRIOR NOTICE (RECEIPT OF WHICH IS CONFIRMED BY US) THAT YOU HAVE TERMINATED THIS AUTHORIZATION OR WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE WE REASONABLY COULD ACT. TO TERMINATE YOUR AUTHORIZATION OR CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD, GO TO WWW.BEEKEE.COM.
(g) Current Information Required. YOU MUST PROVIDE CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE INFORMATION FOR YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT. YOU MUST PROMPTLY UPDATE ALL INFORMATION TO KEEP YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE (SUCH AS A CHANGE IN BILLING ADDRESS, CREDIT CARD NUMBER, OR CREDIT CARD EXPIRATION DATE), AND YOU MUST PROMPTLY NOTIFY US OR OUR PAYMENT PROCESSOR IF YOUR PAYMENT METHOD IS CANCELED (E.G., FOR LOSS OR THEFT) OR IF YOU BECOME AWARE OF A POTENTIAL BREACH OF SECURITY, SUCH AS THE UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OR USE OF YOUR USER NAME OR PASSWORD. CHANGES TO SUCH INFORMATION CAN BE MADE AT WWW.BEEKEE.COM. IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE ANY OF THE FOREGOING INFORMATION, YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY CONTINUE CHARGING YOU FOR ANY USE OF PAID SERVICES UNDER YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT UNLESS YOU HAVE TERMINATED YOUR PAID SERVICES AS SET FORTH ABOVE.
(h) Change in Amount Authorized. If the amount to be charged to your Billing Account varies from the amount you preauthorized (other than due to the imposition or change in the amount of state sales taxes), you have the right to receive, and we shall provide, notice of the amount to be charged and the date of the charge before the scheduled date of the transaction. Any agreement you have with your payment provider will govern your use of your Payment Method. You agree that we may accumulate charges incurred and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of each billing cycle.
(i) Auto-Renewal for Subscription Services. Unless you opt out of auto-renewal, which can be done through your account at www.beekee.com, any Subscription Services you have signed up for will be automatically extended for successive renewal periods of the same duration as the subscription term originally selected, at the then-current non-promotional rate. To change or cancel your Subscription Services at any time, go to [5882 Bolsa Ave. Suite 210 Huntington Beach, CA 92649 / [KD(2] your account at www.beekee.com]. If you cancel a Subscription Service, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current term; your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, you won't be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period.
(j) Reaffirmation of Authorization. Your non-termination or continued use of a Paid Service reaffirms that we are authorized to charge your Payment Method for that Paid Service. We may submit those charges for payment and you will be responsible for such charges. This does not waive our right to seek payment directly from you. Your charges may be payable in advance, in arrears, per usage, or as otherwise described when you initially selected to use the Paid Service.

IX. ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
This Section includes an arbitration agreement and an agreement that all claims will be brought only in an individual capacity (and not as a class action or other representative proceeding). Please read it carefully. You may opt out of the arbitration agreement by following the opt out procedure described below.
1. Informal Process First. You agree that in the event of any dispute between you and BeeKee, you will first contact BeeKee and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation any court action.
2. Arbitration Agreement. After the informal dispute resolution process any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) relating in any way to your use of BeeKee’s services and/or products, including the Services, or relating in any way to the communications between you and BeeKee or any other user of the Services, will be finally resolved by binding arbitration. This mandatory arbitration agreement applies equally to you and BeeKee. or (b). If you are an individual you may opt out of this arbitration agreement within thirty (30) days of the first of the date you access or use this Service by following the procedure described below.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this arbitration provision does not bar you from making use of applicable small claims court procedures in appropriate cases and it does not apply to: (i) any Claim by BeeKee for infringement of its intellectual property or access to the Service that is unauthorized or exceeds authorization granted in these Terms, (ii) a judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or other action or proceeding to enforce a deed of trust, mortgage or real property sales contract, for example as defined in California civil code section 2985; (ii) an unlawful detainer action; (iii) the filing or enforcement of a mechanics lien; or (iv) any matter which is within the jurisdiction of a probate or bankruptcy court. The filing of a judicial action to enable the recording of a notice of pending action, or to request an order of attachment, receivership, preliminary injunction or other provisional remedy, shall not constitute a waiver of the right to arbitrate under this provision.
Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. There is no judge or jury in arbitration. Instead, the dispute is resolve by a neutral arbitrator. Court review of an arbitration award is limited. Except to the extent the parties agree otherwise, arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. You agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and BeeKee are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision will survive any termination of these Terms.
If you wish to begin an arbitration proceeding, after following the informal dispute resolution procedure, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to BeeKee, 5882 Bolsa Ave. Suite 210 Huntington Beach, CA 92649 Attn: Legal. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules including, if you are an individual, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. If you are not an individual or have used the Services on behalf of an entity, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will not be used. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.
The number of arbitrators will be one. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language. California law will apply. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. If you are an individual and have not accessed or used the Service on behalf of an entity, we will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000, unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous, and we will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, unconscionability, arbitrability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this arbitration agreement is void or voidable. However, the preceding sentence will not apply to the “Class Action Waiver” section below.
If you do not want to arbitrate disputes with BeeKee and you are an individual, you may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending an email to support@BeeKee.com within thirty (30) days of the first of the date you access or use the Service.
Class Action Waiver
Any Claim must be brought in the respective party’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple plaintiff, or similar proceeding (“Class Action”). The parties expressly waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any forum. If the Claim is subject to arbitration, the arbitrator will not have authority to combine or aggregate similar claims or conduct any Class Action nor make an award to any person or entity not a party to the arbitration. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The parties understand that any right to litigate in court, to have a judge or jury decide their case, or to be a party to a class or representative action, is waived, and that any claims must be decided individually, through arbitration.
If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement, if otherwise effective, will be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and BeeKee each waive any right to a jury trial.
