Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, design, features, interfaces, trademarks, logos, and documentation, is owned by AppraVia Technologies, LLC and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

If you submit suggestions or feedback regarding the Service, you grant us a perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide license to use and incorporate such feedback without any obligation of compensation.

Third-Party Services

The Service operates on infrastructure provided by third-party providers, including Supabase (database hosting and authentication), Vercel (application hosting), and our payment processor. Your data may be stored or processed on systems operated by these providers. We select providers that maintain their own security standards, but we are not responsible for the acts or omissions of third-party service providers.

Data Import from Third-Party Systems

The Service may offer data import functionality that allows you to migrate data from third-party appraisal management systems (such as ANOW, Titan Office, or other platforms). By using any import feature, you acknowledge and agree that:

• AppraVia Technologies, LLC is not responsible for any data loss, corruption, duplication, or inaccuracy that may occur during the import process.
• Import tools are provided on an "as is" basis and may not capture all data fields from the source system with complete accuracy. Differences in data formats, field definitions, and system architectures between the source platform and AppraVia may result in incomplete or imprecise data transfer.
• You are solely responsible for reviewing, verifying, and correcting all imported data before relying on it for business, compliance, or any other purpose.
• We strongly recommend maintaining a backup of your original data in the source system until you have fully verified the accuracy of all imported records in AppraVia.
• We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or responsible for any third-party appraisal management platform. The availability of import support for a particular platform does not imply any partnership or guarantee of compatibility.

Google Calendar Integration

The Service offers an optional integration with Google Calendar to synchronize appraisal appointment information. By connecting your Google Calendar account, you acknowledge and agree that:

• The Google Calendar integration is entirely optional. You may connect or disconnect your Google Calendar at any time without affecting your ability to use the core features of the Service.
• When connected, AppraVia will read and write calendar events solely for the purpose of syncing appraisal appointment details (such as appointment times, property addresses, and order references).
• AppraVia does not access, store, or share any Google account data beyond what is strictly necessary for calendar synchronization.
• You may revoke AppraVia's access to your Google Calendar at any time through your Google Account permissions settings.
• AppraVia is not responsible for calendar sync delays, missed events, or scheduling conflicts that may arise from the integration. You are responsible for verifying that synced appointments are accurate.

Disclaimer of Warranties

Limitation of Liability

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless AppraVia Technologies, LLC and its members, officers, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: your use of the Service; your violation of these Terms; your violation of any applicable law or professional standard including USPAP or GLBA; any violation of any third-party right; or any data you upload or transmit through the Service.

Termination

You may terminate your account at any time by canceling through your account settings or by contacting us. We may suspend or terminate your access immediately without prior notice if you materially breach these Terms and fail to cure such breach within 10 days of written notice, if your use poses a security or legal risk, as required by law, or if you fail to pay applicable fees. Upon termination, your right to access the Service ceases immediately.

Dispute Resolution

Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal proceeding, you agree to first contact us at [email protected] and provide a written description of your dispute. We will attempt to resolve the dispute informally within 30 days.

Binding Arbitration

If informal resolution fails, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its applicable rules, rather than in court. The arbitration shall be conducted in Johnson County, Kansas, or via videoconference, and shall be conducted by a single arbitrator.

Class Action Waiver

YOU AGREE TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH US ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Either party may seek emergency injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm without waiving the right to arbitrate.

Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Kansas, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. To the extent any matter proceeds in court rather than arbitration, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Johnson County, Kansas.

Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will post a notice within the Service dashboard, send an email to the address associated with your account, and update the "Last Revised" date at the top of this page. Changes become effective 14 days after notice is provided. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and AppraVia Technologies, LLC regarding the Service. If any provision is found unenforceable, it shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force. You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent.
