present on BoilerApartments.com, even if BoilerApartments.com has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
Nature of BoilerApartments.com Services. BoilerApartments.com operates a platform
for Lessors desiring to advertise residential rental properties with available units, and the advertisements on BoilerApartments.com

any such advertisements, nor is BoilerApartments.com responsible for any actual lease transaction between a potential Renter and a
Lessor. Though BoilerApartments.com offers tips and advice on renting and living in rentals, we do not render legal, brokerage,
or other professional advice or services to either its Renter or
Lessor customers.

the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree as follows:

BoilerApartments.com an obligation to perform any services other than those expressly undertaken by BoilerApartments.com;
- BoilerApartments.com does not render legal,
brokerage, or other professional advice or services; in the event you desire or need such services, BoilerApartments.com strongly
advises you to secure the same;
- BoilerApartments.com 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

- BoilerApartments.com may make changes to its products and/or services and this Website or mobile
applications at any time and without notifying you or receiving your consent; and
- While BoilerApartments.com complies with applicable state and federal laws, including federal civil
rights laws, BoilerApartments.com cannot guarantee that its users so comply. Accordingly, BoilerApartments.com assumes no liability for Renters'

of any law or the rights of a third party; or incurred by us as a result of your default under this Agreement.
- Default and Remedies. Without
limiting any other provision in this Agreement, in the event you default under this Agreement, including without
limitation, by failing to pay us the specified advertising fees when due (if you are a Lessor), we will have the right

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, BoilerApartments.com
may recover attorneys' fees and costs up to $1,000, provided that BoilerApartments.com has notified you in writing of the improperly
filed Claim, and you have failed to promptly withdraw the Claim.
