SwiftRent is licensed by the California Department of Real
Estate as a Prepaid Rental Listing Service (PRLS). Specifically,
our service is to supply prospective tenants with listings of
real residential rental properties for tenancy in exchange for a
fee. SwiftRent agrees to make available to Client, via our
website, selected listings obtained by SwiftRent of residential
units available to be rented.
SwiftRent makes an honest and diligent effort to acquire
accurate information furnished by the landlords or property
agents. The greater portion of SwiftRent information is obtained
by use of telephone, e-mail and website submissions, and
therefore, our representation and description of rentals will
reflect the information given to us by the landlords or property
agents. Due to the nature of the real estate market, all
listings are subject to prior rental. New listings are added to
the website daily - 7 days a week.
SwiftRent does not represent or act as agent on behalf of the
owner(s) of the properties listed and made available to the
Client. SwiftRent does not promise Client that Client will enter
into any agreement with any owner of any property listed by
SwiftRent for the rental of any residential unit. It is agreed
by both the Client and SwiftRent that the service provided by
Licensee to Client is limited to providing information to Client
as to residential rental units reasonably believed to be
available for rental.
It is agreed by both the Client and SwiftRent that only the
named Client is entitled to the service provided by SwiftRent
and that SwiftRent may require reasonable identification by
parties claiming to be the Client before releasing any
information under the terms of this contract.
RIGHT TO REFUND
If within five days after payment of a fee, the licensee (SwiftRent)
has not supplied the prospective tenant (Client) with at least
three available rental properties meeting the specifications of
the contract as to (i) type of structure; (ii) designated area;
(iii) furnished or unfurnished; (iv) number of bedrooms; (v)
maximum rental; and (vi) any other specification expressly set
forth in the contract, the full amount of the fee shall be
refunded to the prospective tenant upon presentation of evidence
of that failure within ten days after the expiration of the five
day period. The prospective tenant is not entitled to a refund
if the prospective tenant obtains a rental through the services
of the licensee.
If the prospective tenant obtains a rental other than through
the services of the licensee during the term of this contract or
if the prospective tenant does not obtain a rental through the
services of the licensee during the term of the contract, the
licensee shall refund the fee received in excess of a fifty
dollar ($50.00) service charge to the prospective tenant within
ten (10) days after the prospective tenant supplies either (i)
reasonable documentation of the prospective tenant's new rental
or of the fact that the prospective tenant did not move, such as
a lease, rental agreement, or utility bill, with sufficient
information to verify that the new rental was not obtained
through the services of the licensee or that the prospective
tenant did not move, or (ii) if the prospective tenant is unable
to locate or provide that documentation, the prospective tenant
may, at his or her option, fill out a written form provided by
the licensee and signed by the prospective tenant under penalty
of perjury stating that he or she did not obtain a rental
through the services of the licensee during the time of the
contract.
To be entitled to a refund in excess of the service charge, the
prospective tenant must mail or deliver the demand for refund
not later than 10 days after the expiration of this contract,
and must supply either (i) reasonable documentation of the
prospective tenant's new rental or of the fact that the
prospective tenant did not move, such as a lease, rental
agreement, or utility bill, with sufficient information to
verify that the new rental was not obtained through the services
of the licensee or that the prospective tenant did not move, or
(ii) a written form provided by the licensee and signed by the
prospective tenant under penalty of perjury stating that he or
she did not obtain a rental through the services of the licensee
during the term of the contract. The documentation may be
supplied after the demand for a refund is mailed or delivered,
provided that it is supplied within a reasonable time after it
becomes available.
The purchase of any goods or services other than the
provisions of listings of residential real properties for
tenancy is optional.
A person who purchases rental information for purposes of usage
other than that of locating a rental unit for personal use or
the use of a designated person shall not be entitled to the
return of any part of the fee paid to the agent.
The residential rental listing information being provided to the
Client pursuant to this contract is considered confidential and
proprietary by SwiftRent. The Client agrees that he or she will
use this information for the sole purpose of locating a rental
unit for personal use and will otherwise keep it confidential
and not disclose it to third parties without SwiftRent's prior
written authorization. SwiftRent reserves the right to pursue
any and all legal remedies available for the unauthorized use or
disclosure of rental listing information provided under this
contract. |
