Marble Service Overview. Marble provides a software
platform that helps property owners find long-term tenants with self-guided
touring, lease generation, 24/7 maintenance dispatch services, and automated
rent collection systems. As part of the Services, Marble also provides
property owners a secure and easy-to-use smart lock system (“Smart Lock”). When installed, prospective tenants will be able to use the
Marble mobile app to verify their identity and unlock securely through
Bluetooth or Wi-Fi for a self-guided tour.
-
Eligibility. You must be at least 18 years old to use the
Service. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant to us that:
(a) you are at least 18 years old; (b) you have not previously been
suspended or removed from the Service; and (c) your registration and your
use of the Service is in compliance with any and all applicable laws and
regulations. If you are an entity, organization, or company, the individual
accepting these Terms on your behalf represents and warrants that they have
authority to bind you to these Terms and you agree to be bound by these
Terms.
-
Accounts and Registration. To access most features of the
Service, you must register for an account. When you register for an account,
you may be required to provide us with some information about yourself, such
as your name, email address, or other contact information. You agree that
the information you provide to us is accurate, complete, and not misleading,
and that you will keep it accurate and up to date at all times. When you
register, you will be asked to create a password. You are solely responsible
for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, and you
accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account. If
you believe that your account is no longer secure, then you should
immediately notify us at support@rentmarble.com.
-
General Payment Terms. If you are a property owner who
lists one or more units on Marble platform, the Service may require you to
pay fees on a per-unit basis. Before you pay any fees, you will have an
opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. All fees
are in U.S. Dollars and are non-refundable unless otherwise specifically
provided for in these Terms.
-
Price. Marble reserves the right to determine pricing
for the Service. Marble will make reasonable efforts to keep pricing
information published on the Service up to date. We encourage you to
check our pricing page periodically for current pricing information.
Marble may change the fees for any feature of the Service, including
additional fees or charges, if Marble gives you advance notice of
changes before they apply. Marble, at its sole discretion, may make
promotional offers with different features and different pricing to any
of Marble’s customers. These promotional offers, unless made to
you, will not apply to your offer or these Terms.
-
Authorization. You authorize Marble to charge all sums
for the orders that you make and any level of Service you select as
described in these Terms or published by Marble, including all
applicable taxes, to the payment method specified in your account. If
you pay any fees with a credit card, then Marble may seek
pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to your purchase to
verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or
credit available to cover your purchase.
-
Subscription Service. The Service may include certain
subscription-based plans with automatically recurring payments for
periodic charges (“Subscription Service”).
The “Subscription Billing Date” is the date
when you purchase your first subscription to the Service. The
Subscription Service will begin on the Subscription Billing Date and
continue for the subscription period that you select on your account
(such period, the “Initial Subscription Period”), and will automatically renew for successive periods of the
same duration as the Initial Subscription Period (the Initial
Subscription Period and each such renewal period, each a “Subscription Period”) unless you cancel the Subscription Service or we terminate it.
If you activate a Subscription Service, then you authorize Marble or its
third-party payment processors to periodically charge, on a
going-forward basis and until cancellation of the Subscription Service,
all accrued sums on or before the payment due date. For information on
the “Subscription Fee”, please see our
“Pricing” page at https://www.rentmarble.com/pricing. Your
account will be charged automatically on the Subscription Billing Date
and thereafter on the renewal date of your Subscription Service for all
applicable fees and taxes for the next Subscription Period. You must
cancel your Subscription Service before it renews in order to avoid
billing of the next periodic Subscription Fee to your account. Marble or
its third-party payment processor will bill the periodic Subscription
Fee to the payment method associated with your account or that you
otherwise provide to us. You may cancel the Subscription Service by
deactivating all your properties listed in your account or contacting us
at support@rentmarble.com. Your cancellation must be received before the
renewal date in order to avoid charge for the next subscription period.
-
Delinquent Accounts. Marble may suspend or terminate
access to the Service, including fee-based portions of the Service, for
any account for which any amount is due but unpaid. In addition to the
amount due for the Service, a delinquent account will be charged with
fees or charges that are incidental to any chargeback or collection of
any the unpaid amount, including collection fees. If your payment method
is no longer valid at the time a renewal Subscription Fee is due, then
Marble reserves the right to delete your account and any information or
User Content (defined below) associated with your account without any
liability to you.
-

Procedure for Reporting Claimed Infringement. If you
believe that any content made available on or through the Service has been
used or exploited in a manner that infringes an intellectual property
right you own or control, then please promptly send a written
“Notification of Claimed Infringement” to the
Designated Agent identified above containing the following information:
-
an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on
behalf of the owner of the copyright or other right being infringed;
-
a description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property
right that you claim has been infringed;
-
a description of the material that you claim is infringing and where
it is located on the Service;
- your address, telephone number, and email address;
-
a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the use of
the materials on the Service of which you are complaining is not
authorized by the copyright or other intellectual property right
owner, its agent, or the law; and
-
a statement by you that the above information in your notice is
accurate and that, under penalty of perjury, you are the copyright or
other intellectual property right owner or authorized to act on the
copyright or intellectual property owner’s behalf.
Your Notification of Claimed Infringement may be shared by Marble with the
user alleged to have infringed a right you own or control as well as with the
operators of publicly available databases that track notifications of claimed
infringement, and you consent to Marble making such disclosures. You should
consult with your own lawyer or see 17 U.S.C. § 512 to confirm your
obligations to provide a valid notice of claimed infringement.
-
Repeat Infringers. Marble’s policy is to:
(a) remove or disable access to material that Marble believes in good
faith, upon notice from an intellectual property rights owner or
authorized agent, is infringing the intellectual property rights of a
third party by being made available through the Service; and (b) in
appropriate circumstances, to terminate the accounts of and block access
to the Service by any user who repeatedly or egregiously infringes other
people’s copyright or other intellectual property rights. Marble
will terminate the accounts of users that are determined by Marble to be
repeat infringers. Marble reserves the right, however, to suspend or
terminate accounts of users in our sole discretion.
-
Counter Notification. If you receive a notification from
Marble that material made available by you on or through the Service has
been the subject of a Notification of Claimed Infringement, then you will
have the right to provide Marble with what is called a “Counter Notification.” To be effective, a Counter Notification must be in writing,
provided to Marble’s Designated Agent through one of the methods
identified in Section 11.2, and include substantially the following
information:
- your physical or electronic signature;
-
identification of the material that has been removed or to which
access has been disabled and the location at which the material
appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
-
a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief
that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or
misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and
-
your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you
consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial
district in which the address is located, or if you are residing
outside of the United States, then for any judicial district in which
Marble may be found, and that you will accept service of process from
the person who provided notification under Section 11.2 above or
an agent of that person.
A party submitting a Counter Notification should consult a lawyer or see 17
U.S.C. § 512 to confirm the party’s obligations to provide a valid
counter notification under the Copyright Act.
-
Reposting of Content Subject to a Counter Notification.
If you submit a Counter Notification to Marble in response to a
Notification of Claimed Infringement, then Marble will promptly provide
the person who provided the Notification of Claimed Infringement with a
copy of your Counter Notification and inform that person that Marble will
replace the removed User Content or cease disabling access to it in 10
business days, and Marble will replace the removed User Content and cease
disabling access to it not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days
following receipt of the Counter Notification, unless Marble’s
Designated Agent receives notice from the party that submitted the
Notification of Claimed Infringement that such person has filed an action
seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing
activity relating to the material on Marble’s system or network.
-
False Notifications of Claimed Infringement or Counter
Notifications. The Copyright Act provides at 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) that:
“[a]ny person who knowingly materially misrepresents under [Section
512 of the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512)] (1) that material or
activity is infringing, or (2) that material or activity was removed or
disabled by mistake or misidentification, will be liable for any damages,
including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged
infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner’s authorized
licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured by such
misrepresentation, as the result of Marble relying upon such
misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or
activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or
ceasing to disable access to it.” Marble reserves the right to seek
damages from any party that submits a Notification of Claimed Infringement
or Counter Notification in violation of the law.
-
Modification of Terms. We may, from time to time, change
these Terms. Please check these Terms periodically for changes. Revisions
will be effective immediately except that, for existing users, material
revisions will be effective 30 days after posting or notice to you of the
revisions unless otherwise stated. We may require that you accept modified
Terms in order to continue to use the Service. If you do not
agree to the modified Terms, then you should discontinue your use of the
Service, in which case Marble will provide a pro-rata refund of any

-
Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
-
Generally. Except as described in Section 17.2 and
17.3, you and Marble agree that every dispute arising in connection with
these Terms, the Service, or communications from us will be resolved
through binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator
instead of a judge or jury, is less formal than a court proceeding, may
allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very
limited review by courts. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes
all claims whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud,
misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether
a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. Any
dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability
of this binding arbitration agreement will be resolved by the
arbitrator.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND MARBLE
ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS
ACTION.
-
Exceptions. Although we are agreeing to arbitrate most
disputes between us, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive,
preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an
individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action
through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is
available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of
arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an
intellectual property infringement claim.
-
Opt-Out. If you do not wish to resolve disputes by
binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this
Section 17 within 30 days after the date that you agree to these
Terms by sending a letter to Marble Living, Inc., Attention: Legal
Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, 2261 Market Street #4740 San
Francisco, CA 94114 that specifies: your full legal name, the email
address associated with your account on the Service, and a statement that
you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once Marble receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 17
will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as
set forth in Section 18.3. The remaining provisions of these Terms
will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.
-
Arbitrator. This arbitration agreement, and any
arbitration between us, is subject the Federal Arbitration Act and will be
administered by the American Arbitration Association
(“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules
(collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by
these Terms. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at
www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at +1-800-778-7879, or by contacting
Marble.
-
Commencing Arbitration. Before initiating arbitration, a
party must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party
by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only
if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by
electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”).
Marble’s address for Notice is: Marble Living, Inc., 2261 Market
Street #4740 San Francisco, CA 94114. The Notice of Arbitration must:
(a) identify the name or account number of the party making the
claim; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (c)
set forth the specific relief sought
(“Demand”). The parties will make good faith
efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an
agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is
received, you or Marble may commence an arbitration proceeding. If you
commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Marble will reimburse
you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than
US$10,000 or if the Company has received 25 or more similar demands for
arbitration, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the
AAA Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the claim
or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper
purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA
Rules and the other party may seek reimbursement for any fees paid to AAA.
-
Arbitration Proceedings. Any arbitration hearing will
take place in the county and state of your [residence/billing address]
unless we agree otherwise or, if the claim is for US$10,000 or less (and
does not seek injunctive relief), you may choose whether the arbitration
will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the
arbitrator; (b) through a telephonic or video hearing; or (c) by an
in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or
parish) of your [residence/billing address]. During the arbitration, the
amount of any settlement offer made by you or Marble must not be disclosed
to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and
award, if any. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is
conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision
sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the
decision and award, if any, are based.
-
Arbitration Relief. Except as provided in Section 17.8,
the arbitrator can award any relief that would be available if the claims
had been brough in a court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator
awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount
offered by Marble before an arbitrator was selected, Marble will pay to
you the higher of: (a) the amount awarded by the arbitrator; and
(b) US$10,000. The arbitrator’s award will be final and binding
on all parties , except (1) for judicial review expressly permitted by law
or (2) if the arbitrator's award includes an award of injunctive
relief against a party, in which case that party will have the right to
seek judicial review of the injunctive relief in a court of competent
jurisdiction that will not be bound by the arbitrator's application
or conclusions of law. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction.
-
No Class Actions. YOU AND MARBLE AGREE THAT EACH MAY
BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND
NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR
REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Marble agree
otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s
claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or
class proceeding.
-
Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Marble
makes any substantive change to this arbitration provision, you may reject
the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change
to Marble’s address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your
account with Marble will be immediately terminated and this arbitration
provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will
survive.
-
Enforceability. If Section 17.8 or the entirety of
this Section 17 is found to be unenforceable, or if Marble receives
an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section 17 will
be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue
described in Section 18.3 will govern any action arising out of or
related to these Terms.
-
Miscellaneous
-
General Terms. These Terms, including the Privacy
Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference into
these Terms, are the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement
between you and Marble regarding your use of the Service. You may not

whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior
written consent. We may assign these Terms and all rights granted under
these Terms, including with respect to your User Content, at any time
without notice or consent. The failure to require performance of any
provision will not affect our right to require performance at any other
time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default of
these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, be a waiver of any
subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of
Section headers in these Terms is for convenience only and will not have
any impact on the interpretation of any provision. Throughout these
Terms the use of the word “including” means “including
but not limited to.” If any part of these Terms is held to be
invalid or unenforceable, then the unenforceable part will be given
effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will
remain in full force and effect.
