1. Our Service
Overview
Brokerfied is a platform that provides a means for commercial property owners and their authorized representatives (“ Property Owners ”) to l ist their properties (“ Property Listings ”) through a comprehensive, virtual, do-it-yourself toolkit for commercial real estate marketing. Property Owners may also find, communicate with, and ultimately sell or rent their Property Listings to users searching for commercial real estate who view Property Listings on our Site or through our services (“ Prospects ”).
Brokerfied Services
The services include software-as-a-service solutions, consisting of: (1) the Brokerfied Dashboard, (2) a dedicated Property Listing webpage, and (3) Property Listing communication interface. Additionally, Brokerfied may provide Property Owners with physical signage, a dedicated property email address and dedicated phone number (collectively, the “ Services ”).
Disclaimer
Brokerfied is not a real estate broker or agent, and use of the Services does not create a broker-client relationship with Brokerfied. Brokerfied does not offer real estate or legal advice or services. Brokerfied does not act in any way except as a provider of technology to Users. Brokerfied does not offer any kind of advice, opinions, recommendations, referrals or counseling. Brokerfied is not a partner, joint venture, employer, or affiliated in any way with Property Owners on the platform. Brokerfied is not involved in the representation of the Properties Listings or Property Owners featured on this platform.
Brokerfied is also not a commercial real estate marketplace. Property Listings will be featured on a dedicated webpage of our Site, which is indexed and searchable by online search engines, but we do not provide a means for the general public to use our Site to search available commercial real estate listings.
Brokerfied does not guarantee that any Property Listing on the Site or through the Services will meet your needs. The Services allow Property Owners to list their properties directly to the Site, and all photographs, descriptions, availability, size, features or other information about a Property Listing (“Property Information”) is solely that of the Property Owner. We do not screen, verify, or otherwise validate the accuracy or completeness of a Property Listing or any Property Information. Users of the Services who view Property Listings or rely on Property Information do so entirely at their own risk and we are in no way responsible for the Properties Listings or any of Property Information on the Site or available through the Services.
At no point can Brokerfied be held liable for any Property Listings, conduct, action, or omission of the Property Owners. Brokerfied does not select or endorse any Property Listings or any individual Property Owner featured on the Site or through the Services. Brokerfied does not confirm whether Property Owners have the legal authority to provide their Property Listings, and we do not make any warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy, quality, or any other feature of a Property Listing indicated by any Property Owner. Brokerfied does not warrant or guarantee that any Property Listings featured on the Site or through the Services are available, that the Property Information or any other information provided by Property Owners through the Services is accurate or complete.
Additionally, we do not pre-screen or otherwise provide background, credit, or any other checks of Prospects using the Services. All Property Owners are solely responsible for qualifying Prospects before entering into any formal agreement with them.
Brokerfied strongly encourages and recommends that Users independently research at Property Listings before contacting a Property Owner or before leasing or purchasing a Property Listing.

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
14. Allocation of Risk
You acknowledge and agree that we provide the Services in reliance upon the disclaimers of warranty and the limitations of liability contained herein, and that the terms of this Agreement reflect an allocation of risk between you and us (including the risk that a contract remedy may fail of its essential purpose and cause consequential loss), and that the provisions herein form an essential basis of the bargain between you and us. If you are subject to applicable laws that prohibit you from indemnifying us as set forth herein or prohibit you from entering into the risk allocation arrangement as set forth herein, then the terms will apply to you to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, it being understood that you and us each wish to enforce the provisions of this Agreement to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
15. Dispute Resolution
Arbitration
For any dispute with us, you agree to first contact us at admin@brokerfied.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the event we are unable to resolve the dispute informally, you and we agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this provision to arbitrate, shall be determined solely and exclusively by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator. You and we also agree that the arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the Commercial Arbitration Rules and that such arbitration will be conducted in Los Angeles County, California, unless you and we agree otherwise. Each party will be responsible for paying any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with AAA rules. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses, and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
No Class Action; No Jury Trial
ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NO CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL THEORIES OF LIABILITY OR PRAYERS FOR RELIEF MAY BE MAINTAINED IN ANY ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Governing Law
The laws of the United States and the State of California shall govern this Agreement. The exclusive forum and venue for any legal action arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, and the parties submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court. If neither subject matter nor diversity jurisdiction exists in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, then the exclusive forum and venue for any such action shall be the courts of the State of California, located in Los Angeles County, and the parties hereby submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
16. General Provisions
Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction having authority to bind the parties under any applicable statute or rule of law, such provision shall be deemed amended to achieve as nearly as possible the same economic effect as the original provision and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be affected or impaired.

Waiver
Our failure at any time to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or any right or remedy available hereunder or at law or in equity, or to exercise any option herein provided, will not constitute a waiver of such provision, right, remedy or option or in any way affect the validity of this Agreement. A waiver of any default by us will not be deemed a continuing waiver but will apply solely to the instance to which such waiver is directed.

Force Majeure
Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in its performance under this Agreement or any and all addenda due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control (other than the payment of sums due), provided that it notifies the other party as soon as practicable and uses its best efforts to resume performance (such a “Force Majeure Event”). A Force Majeure Event includes, without limitation, strikes, lockouts, labor troubles, inability to procure materials or services including substantial price increases in materials or services, impacts of pandemics, epidemics, failure of power, riots, insurrection, war or other reasons of a like nature not the fault of such Party. The Party shall immediately provide notice to the other Party of such delay, and performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay and the period for the performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay. Each party agrees to strive to develop and maintain adequate backup systems, procedures and resources to assure their respective performance. Whether an event is a Force Majeure Event shall be at the sole discretion of Brokerfied.
