4. Reviews and Ratings

Users may be permitted to submit reviews and ratings about Inspectors and/or other parties involved with their Inspection process through the Site. You are solely responsible for your reviews and ratings, and Picket may, in its sole discretion, choose to remove or not to remove reviews and ratings once published. You will not submit any reviews that may be considered by Picket to be infringing, harassing, libelous, abusive, threatening, obscene, profane, hateful, offensive, harmful, vulgar, distasteful, defamatory or otherwise violates any relevant law or right of any other party, or that is racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable.

As a registered User of the Site, your “ Account Credentials” include the following information:

A. Picket Account. You will be asked to register for a customer account with Picket (a “Picket Account”) in order to user the Services and interact with other Users of the Site. You will be asked to provide certain Personal Information when registering for a Picket Account as more fully described in our Privacy Policy.

B. Usernames and Passwords. The usernames and passwords you create when establishing a Picket Account are a part of your Account Credentials.

You shall be solely responsible for ensuring the security and confidentiality of your Account Credentials. You acknowledge that you will be fully responsible for all liabilities incurred through the inappropriate use of any of your Account Credentials and that any transactions under your Picket Account will be deemed to have been performed by you.

6. Contracting, Inspections and Payments

A. Contracting. Homebuyers and Inspectors agree among themselves to terms and conditions for an Inspection and they may enter into a contract for an Inspection (a “ Home Inspection Contract”) outside of the functionality of the Site. We encourage Inspectors to upload Home Inspection Contracts to the Site so that they are readily accessible and retained as part of Inspection Materials. Picket does not and cannot warrant that the terms agreed to by a Homebuyer and Inspector for any Inspection are complete, reliable, accurate or appropriate for individual circumstances. You agree that you enter into any Home Inspection Contract for an Inspection directly with the other party (and not through the Site) and that you must rely entirely upon your own independent assessment of all relevant matters and not any warranty, statement or representation made or given by Picket. Homebuyers and Inspectors acknowledge that each party will enter into a binding agreement to perform its obligations with respect to the Inspection; HOWEVER, PLEASE NOTE THAT PICKET SOLELY CONNECTS USERS TO FACILITATE INSPECTIONS AND DOES NOT AND CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT A USER WILL FULFILL ITS OBLIGATIONS AS REQUIRED BY A HOME INSPECTION CONTRACT OR ANY OTHER TERMS AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES FOR THE INSPECTION AND/OR IMPOSED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

B. Inspections. Once a Homebuyer and Inspector agree on terms and conditions for an Inspection and/or enter into a Home Inspection Contract, the parties must schedule a date for completion of the Inspection, on which date an Inspector must perform her or his obligations for the Inspection in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions and/or Home Inspection Contract, as the case may be. Once an Inspection is completed, the Inspector must prepare and upload her or his Inspection report to the Site (an “Inspection Report”).

C. Payment. Once an Inspection Report is uploaded to the Site, the Company's Payment Processor (as defined in its Privacy Policy) will automatically charge the Homebuyer for whom the Inspection was performed for the total fees associated with the Inspection. The fees collected by the Payment Processor will be routed directly to (i) the Inspector in satisfaction of all amounts due to the Inspector from the Homebuyer for the Inspection, and (ii) to Picket for its referral fee associated with the Inspection. Please note that the amount collected from a Homebuyer by Picket's Payment Processor for an Inspection will include all fees due to Picket in connection with its referral for the Inspection. For the avoidance of doubt, all fees paid to Picket in connection with a transaction are non-refundable.

If neither of such options can be exercised by Picket on a commercially reasonable basis and the infringing content or code materially affects the Site or Services or the ability of Picket to meet its obligations under this Agreement, then Picket may terminate this Agreement in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Picket shall not have any obligation to indemnify Users to the extent that any infringement claim arises out of (or is contributed to) by (1) any modification of the Site or Services other than by Picket; or (ii) any materials or content provided by Users.
