Shuk Terms of Use / Terms & Conditions

Introduction:

 

By using or accessing Shuk, its website, mobile application, or any services, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms and conditions, as well as our Privacy Policy, collectively referred to as the "Terms.”


 

1. The Services Provided by Shuk:

The Shuk platform serves as a venue for communication among landlords, property managers, tenants, service professionals, and property owners. It allows members to offer rental properties and facilitates various property management functions. However, Shuk is not a party to any agreements made between users and is not responsible for the actions of users on the platform. 

 

The Shuk provides a venue, platform, or forum for communication. The Company is not a party to or responsible for any lease, rental agreement, or other transaction between users of the Services. While we encourage that any communication or transaction using the Services be conducted in a respectful, honest, non-discriminatory manner, all Users are solely responsible for their use of the Services. 

 

The Shuk does not own or manage, nor can we contract for, any rental property listed on a Service or properties tracked, stored, or otherwise managed on the Servicer. The Shuk allows landlords, property managers, tenants, service professionals, vendors, and property owners (each, a “Member”) to offer for rent in a variety of pricing formats, a specific rental property to potential renters (each a “Tenant” and or “Member” and collectively the “Users”). Tenants and renters alike of any sort who utilize the Services (collectively referred to as "Users.” ) "Members" may also include property owners or managers who originally advertised their properties on another website and their listings have been redistributed on the Service. In the future, We also may offer tools for online leasing or other services to allow users to communicate, send maintenance requests, notices, and payments with each other and enter into rental agreements or other transactions. Such tools are used solely at the User’s discretion and risk. The Company is not responsible for any misunderstandings, miscommunications, misuse or wrongful dealings between Users. The Service is a platform or conduit for communication and is not to be held responsible for the statements or actions of its Users. 

 

The Shuk is not a party to any rental or other agreement or contract between Users. Liability and enforcement of such agreements are left to the Users individually and solely.  This is true even if the Service allows you to screen and create a lease connection and provides other ancillary products or services, as the Service may facilitate leasing rental or other tools, services, or products, but we are not a party to any rental or other agreement between Users. All notices and related documents are not legally reviewed or tailored to any specific geographical boundary by the Company. All Users are advised to consult with an attorney of their choice before utilizing any agreements or providing notices.  

 

Any part of an actual or potential transaction between Users, including the quality, condition, safety, or legality of the properties advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings (including the content thereof or any review relating to any property), the ability of members to rent a property or the ability of Tenants to contract for properties are solely the responsibility of each User. Users acknowledge and agree that you may be required to enter into one or more separate agreements, waivers, or terms and conditions prior to making leasing or purchasing a product or service and may place additional restrictions on your leasing, product or service.

 

Responsibility for applicable laws, rules, and regulations:  Users agree that they are responsible for, and agree to abide by, all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to their use of the Services, their use of any tool, service, or product offered on the Service and any transaction they enter into on the Service or in connection with their use of the Service.

 

Users further agree that they are responsible for and agree to abide by all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to the listing of their rental property and the conduct of their rental business, including but not limited to any and all laws, rules, regulations or other requirements relating to taxes, credit cards, data and privacy, permits or license requirements, zoning ordinances, safety compliance and compliance with all anti-discrimination and fair housing laws, as applicable. Even though the Company is not a party to any rental transaction and assumes no responsibility or liability for legal or regulatory compliance pertaining to rental properties listed on the Service, there may be circumstances where the Company is legally obligated or compelled (as we may determine in our sole discretion) to provide information relating to your listing in order to comply with governmental bodies in relation to investigations, litigation or administrative proceedings, and we may choose to comply with or disregard such obligation in our sole discretion. Members who accept credit card, banking, or other payment information from tenants agree to properly handle and safeguard all such information in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements and best practices.

 

Warnings of Suspicious Activity:  While we may assist Users to avoid potentially fraudulent or other illegal activity of which we become aware, we assume no liability and have no obligation to take any such measures or actions. If we provide warnings or messages to users about any such activity, we do not warrant that such messages are accurate or that such messages will reach any or all Users they should have reached in a timely manner or at all, or that such messages or measures will prevent any harm or otherwise have any impact.

 

Use of the Service does not give Users ownership of any intellectual property rights in the Service or any content posted on the Service. You own what you post on the Service (unless you copied it from someone else) but you grant us a license to copy, host, display, create derivative works from, publish, publicly perform, display, distribute, and otherwise make use of in connection with providing the Service, all information and content you post so long as you have an active account. If you are a landlord and authorize us (by checking the appropriate box or boxes on our Service) to syndicate your rental listing on third-party sites, you further agree that we may grant sublicenses to applicable third parties as necessary to facilitate such syndication.

 

All Users also consent to allow the Service, the Company, and its approved agents to review any and all data in connection with fraudulent activity. In the event fraud is suspected, the User’s account will be frozen and risk being deactivated. Local and federal authorities may be contacted and prosecution may result.

 

2. Limited License to Use the Service:

​

6. Identity Verification.

User verification on the Internet is difficult and we cannot, and do not, assume any responsibility for the confirmation of any User's purported identity. We encourage you to communicate directly with other Users through the tools available on the Services, though even this does not assure you of the identity of the person or entity with which you are communicating. We further encourage you to take other reasonable measures to assure yourself of the other person’s or entity's identity and, for tenants, of the property and relevant details of your leasing or proposed leasing.

You agree to (i) keep your password and online ID for both your account with us and your email account secure and strictly confidential, providing it only to authorized users of your accounts, and (ii) instruct each person to whom you give your online ID and password that he or she is not to disclose it to any unauthorized person, (iii) notify us immediately and select a new online ID and password if you believe your password for either your account with us or your email account may have become known to an unauthorized person, and (iv) notify us immediately if you are contacted by anyone requesting your online ID and password.  Further, if we suspect any unauthorized access to your account, upon our request, you agree to promptly change your ID and password and take any other related activities as we may reasonably request.

We discourage you from giving anyone access to your online ID and password for your account with us and your email account.  However, if you do give someone your online ID and online password, or if you fail to adequately safeguard such information, you are responsible for any and all transactions that the person performs while using your account with us or your email account, even those transactions that are fraudulent or that you did not intend or want to be performed.   

Landlords that have utilized our “verification” use and trust this at their own risk and applicants, tenants or potential users do so at their own risk.  The Company provides this for limited use to verify its own information provided and cannot confirm any Users are who they say they are, have access to what they are renting, or is a responsible party with which to make a transaction.  All Users engage, transact and communicate at costs, liability, and risk of their own and responsibility is not to be shared by the Company.

EACH USER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT: (1) NEITHER THE COMPANY NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES WILL HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY USER FOR ANY UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTION MADE USING ANY USER’S ID OR PASSWORD; AND (2) THE UNAUTHORIZED USE OF YOUR ONLINE ID AND PASSWORD FOR YOUR ACCOUNT OR YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT COULD CAUSE YOU TO INCUR LIABILITY TO BOTH THE COMPANY AND OTHER USERS.  Further, we may, without notice to you, suspend or cancel your listing at any time even without receiving notice from you if we suspect, in our sole discretion, that your account with us or your email account is being used in an unauthorized or fraudulent manner. 

 

7. Limitations on Communications and Use of Other User's Information; No Spam.

You agree that, with respect to other Users' personal information that you obtain directly or indirectly from or through the Service or through any Service-related communication, transaction, or software, we have granted you a license to use such information only for: (a) Shuk-related communications that are not unsolicited commercial messages, (b) using services offered through the Services, and (c) inquiring about or otherwise facilitating a financial transaction between you and the other User related to the purpose of the Site (such as inquiring about or leasing online leasing or charging a personal credit card). Any other purpose will require express permission from the user.  You may not use any such information for any unlawful purpose or with any unlawful intent. 

In all cases, you must give Users an opportunity to remove their information from your address book or database or other records and a chance to review what information you have collected about them. In addition, under no circumstances, except as defined in this provision, may you disclose personal information about another user to any third party without both our consent and the consent of the other user. You agree that other users may use your personal information to communicate with you in accordance with this provision. Further, you agree that you will protect other users’ personal information with the same degree of care that you protect your own confidential information (using at minimum a reasonable standard of care), and you assume all liability for the misuse, loss, or unauthorized transfer of such information.

We do not tolerate spam or unsolicited commercial electronic communications of any kind. Therefore, without limiting the foregoing, you are not licensed to add a User, even a User who has rented a property from you or to you, to your mailing list (email or physical mail) without the User's express consent. You may not use any tool or service on the Services to send spam or unsolicited commercial electronic communications of any kind or in any other way that would violate these Terms.  You are responsible for all content you provide to the Services or through any tool or service provided on the Site.

Messages within The Website are protected for private use but available to The Company limited staff for reviewing in the event the user is suspected of being fraudulent or participating in fraudulent activities.

 

8. Responsibility for Property Listings, Reviews, and Other User-contributed Content; Participation in Interactive Forums.

We have no duty to pre-screen content posted on the Shuk by Users, whether directly contributed by the User or contributed by us or a third party on behalf of the User (including, without limitation, property listings, reviews of a rental property, participation in an interactive community, forum or blog (each an “Interactive Forum”) or any other content provided by a user to the Services), (collectively, “User-contributed Content”).  We are not responsible for User-contributed Content. “User-contributed content” also includes information that a user or any other person provided to a third-party website or mobile application which is then provided to the Shuk by a tool we offer or any other exchange of user-contributed content we have authorized.

We reserve the right to decline to permit the posting on the Site of or to remove from the Site any user-contributed content that fails to meet our Content Guidelines, any other guidelines posted on a Site, or if it otherwise violates these Terms, each as determined in our discretion. We may also remove user-contributed content if it is brought to our attention, such as by notice given to us by a user or any third party that any part of these Terms, or any other requirements governing the posting of such content, has/have been apparently breached in respect of such content, as determined by our consent.  Finally, we reserve the right but do not assume the obligation, to edit a member’s content or user-contributed content in a non-substantive manner solely to cause the content to comply with our content guidelines or formatting requirements or to provide services to members to create or improve on listings (such as translation services), in accordance with the information we have about the property listed.  Users remain solely responsible for reviewing their User-contributed Content to ensure it is accurate and not misleading.

At a minimum, User-contributed Content must (as determined by us at our discretion):

  • not infringe anyone's rights, violate the law, or otherwise be inappropriate;

  • not include personal information of another that can be used to identify or contact any person;

  • not include unsolicited promotional content, advertising, political campaigns, contests, raffles, or solicitations;

We do not represent or warrant that any of the copy, content, property reviews, guest book entries, property location, suitability, pricing, or availability information published on the Site is accurate or up-to-date even in the case where prospective Tenants have searched for specific special offers, dates, or types of properties. We may from time to time provide or facilitate services to Members to create or improve the quality of their property listings.  We also may from time to time create new or otherwise change the location or geographic descriptions we use to identify properties in their listings and search results.  Consequently, we may change the location or geographic description associated with any property listing at any time without notice.  However, we assume no responsibility to verify property listing content or the accuracy of the location. Members are solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy of location, geographic, and other content and location or geographic descriptions and agree to promptly correct (or contact us to correct) any inaccuracy, and Tenants are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of such content and descriptions.

Responsibility for All Other User Contributed Content: All other user-contributed content is the sole responsibility of the User who contributed such content, whether such User-contributed the content directly or through a third party website.  Users are solely responsible for their User-contributed Content and we specifically disclaim all liability for User-contributed Content.

The User represents and warrants that the User owns or otherwise controls and has all legal rights to the user’s submission and the name or other identifier used in connection with such submission including, but not limited to, all the rights necessary to provide, post, upload, input or submit the User-contributed Content. We reserve the right to request proof of ownership or permission, and to refuse to post User-contributed Content without such proof or if such proof is, in our sole discretion, insufficient.

License and Rights Granted to Us: By submitting or authorizing User-contributed Content, you grant to us and our affiliates a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, unrestricted, non-exclusive, royalty-free, and fully paid-up license to use, copy, license, sublicense (through multiple tiers), adapt, distribute, display, publicly perform, reproduce, transmit, modify, edit and otherwise exploit the copy, the photographs and the likenesses (if any) of any of your user-contributed content, in connection with our business or the business of our affiliates.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the termination or expiration of a property listing subscription, we will not continue to display the user-contributed content that was displayed in such listing.

You further grant us and our affiliates the ability to copyright and protect the User-contributed Content, including the images, copy, and content available via any member’s listing, from the unauthorized use by unaffiliated third parties who may, from time to time, attempt to pirate such information via electronic or other means.  This includes, but is not limited to, the right to file suit to seek injunctive relief to protect such material.  You further agree to assist us—at our expense and control—to protect such copyrighted material from unauthorized redistribution.
