  1. violate any law or regulation;

4. Ownership

We own or license all right, title, and interest in and to (a) the Web Site and Services, including all software, text, media, and other content available on the Web Site and Services (“Our Content”); and (b) our trademarks, logos, and brand elements (“Marks”).  The Web Site and Services, Our Content, and Marks are all protected under U.S. and international laws.  Except as stated in these Terms and Conditions, no content may be copied, reproduced, distributed, republished, downloaded, displayed, posted or transmitted in any form or by any means, including without limitation, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise without Mountain States’s prior written consent.

You agree to grant Mountain States a non-exclusive, unrestricted, worldwide, and perpetual right and license to use, copy, record, distribute, reproduce, disclose, sell, re-sell, sublicense, display, transmit, publish, and otherwise use in any manner all or any portion of any material or information you post or submit to us (on or via the Web Site, or by means other than the Web Site, including without limitation via our social media pages and accounts such as Facebook and Twitter), and derivative works thereof, for any purpose whatsoever.

 

5. Third Party Portals

Mountain States works with third party web site operators to provide services such as online rental applications, resident services, and investor relations information (“Portal Sites”).  Mountain States’ Portal Sites may utilize framing techniques to make it appear that the user is still on the Web Site when the user is actually on a Portal Site.  For example, if you are on a page that has the look and feel of www.seasonsforrent.com, but the URL listed in your browser is a different URL than www.seasonsforrent.com, then know that any information you provide is being collected by this third party and may not be governed by these Terms and Conditions. 

When you leave the Web Site and are transferred to a Portal Site, you will be notified that you are no longer on the Seasons for Rent Web Site.  You should carefully review the privacy policy and terms of use for any Portal Site before using a Portal Site.

6. User Interactions

The Web Site may contain features that link you or provide you with access to third party services and content that are completely independent of Mountain States.  For example, ResMan hosts and maintains the Resident Portal.  Mountain States uses the Resident Portal to process payments, and you may interact directly with others through the Interactive Areas of the Resident Portal.  Your interactions with organizations or individuals found on or through the Site are solely between you and such organizations or individuals.  You should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any interaction with any of these third parties.  You agree that Mountain States is not responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any kind or nature incurred as the result of any of these dealings.  If there is a dispute between users of the Web Site, or between users and any third party, you understand and agree that our Company is under no obligation to become involved.  In the event that you have a dispute with any other user of the Web Site, you hereby release Mountain States and its affiliates, and their officers, employees, directors, shareholders, agents, and successors (“Affiliates”) from any claims, demands, costs, liabilities, and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind or nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes or the Web Site.  IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH PROVIDES:  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.

7. Privacy

Your privacy is very important to us.  Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and when we share personal information and other data with others.  You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information, including your username and password.  You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account and you agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or use of your account.  We are not responsible or liable for any damage or loss related to any unauthorized access or use of your account.

8. Links

The Web Site and Services may contain links to other websites and online resources.  A link to a third party’s website does not mean that we endorse it or that we are affiliated with it.  We are not responsible or liable for any damage or loss related to the use of any third-party website.  You should always read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of a third-party website before using it.
