For example, you might say "Check out my rental on The Website," or "I list properties on The Website." However, you may not refer to The Company or any of our affiliates in any way that might lead someone to believe that your company or site is sponsored by, affiliated with, or endorsed by The Company or one of our affiliates. For example, you may not say “TenantCloud sponsors my rental,” or describe your property as “TenantCloud’s best rental.” You may not use our name or one of our affiliates’ names on any other website that lists rentals without our prior written authorization.

If such subscription was purchased by check or another form of payment other than by credit card (if such other payment form was permitted), such subscription shall not be automatically renewed. Automatic renewal applies to all subscriptions purchased by credit card. If you wish to turn off auto-renewal, you must log on to your account and manually turn off auto-renewal in your owner dashboard found on The Website, at least calendar 5 days prior to the expiration of the then-current term.

You agree to be responsible for any such charges, and we reserve the right to obtain payment directly from you if necessary.
Non-Subscription Listings. If a Site enables you to list your property on a basis other than by subscription, you agree to pay us compensation as described to you in the registration process for each rental of the property displayed in such listing, which terms may be updated by us from time to time without notice by us displaying the terms on the Site on which you signed up for the listing.

Credit Checks and Background Reporting. As part of the Service, we have partnered with third-party credit and background reporting agencies. As part of this service, when a landlord requests a credit report from a prospective tenant, we will give the tenant the option to order a credit report to be shared with the requesting landlord. During this process, we may ask for personally identifiable information (including social security number) that we will share with third-party credit and background reporting agencies for the purposes of generating those reports. We do not store dates of birth or social security numbers. Any information we gather from you relative to credit and background reports will not be stored by us (except temporarily to facilitate each specific report) nor will this information be used for any other purpose than facilitating these credit and background reports. We are not responsible for the contents of any credit report, whether correct or incorrect. We may also request income and rental price data to provide to third-party credit agencies to help determine the likelihood of rent payment. Credit and background reporting are provided by third-parties and may not be available at all times due to reasons beyond our control. The application fee is a non-refundable fee and includes a credit and background check.
Rent Reporting. If you are a tenant, you can choose to participate in our Rent Reporting service, which involves sharing your TenantCloud-processed rental payments with third-party credit-reporting agencies. By opting in through the tenant portal, you authorize us to consistently report your rent payments and your landlord's recorded payments to participating credit reporting agencies. We are not responsible for how the credit reporting agencies use this information or the impact it may have on your credit score. Months without payments made through the platform may be reported negatively. We cannot guarantee or predict any changes in your credit score. You may opt out of Rent Reporting at any time through the tenant portal. We securely transmit your relevant personal and payment information to participating credit reporting agencies. Disabling the feature during a lease term may result in the removal of the associated payment history from your credit reports. Please note that we cannot control the format or duration of the rent payment history on your credit reports.
If you wish to dispute any entry on your credit report resulting from Rent Reporting, please contact TenantCloud through mail or email at SUPPORT@TENANTCLOUD.COM or reach out to the credit bureau directly. Include your name, contact information, the property address associated with the rent payments, and a brief description of the disputed information. You must ensure the accuracy and truthfulness of all information submitted for the dispute.
