Without prejudice to the foregoing, User agree that the limitations of warranties and liability set out in this Agreement will protect Company's officers, employees, agents, subsidiaries, successors, assigns, and sub-contractors as well as Company.
d.Binding Arbitration. All claims arising from use of the Platform (except those disputes the involving actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party will be final and binding on the other.

THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE USER'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
13.VantageScore®. Where a numerical credit score is required by a consumer (e.g., a User) participating in a real estate transaction occurring on the Platform, Company utilizes the VantageScore® credit score. The VantageScore® credit score may or may not be used by a User's lenders, and is not an endorsement or guarantee of a User's credit worthiness as seen by lenders. User must be aware that there are many scoring models used in the marketplace. Each scoring model may have its own set of factors and scale. The information and credit scoring may be different than that used by a lender. The VantageScore® credit score may not be identical in every respect to any other credit score produced by another company or used by a User's lender. On the Platform, a User's VantageScore® credit score is calculated using the User's actual data from the User's credit file at the time of Company's request on behalf of another User (e.g., a landlord). Keep in mind, however, that other factors, such as length of employment and annual salary, are often taken into consideration by lenders when making decisions about a User. How each lender weighs its chosen factors may vary, but the exact formula used to calculate a User's score is proprietary. Also note that each consumer reporting agency has its own set of data, resulting in a separate VantageScore® credit score for each of a User's credit files. User agrees to request VantageScore® credit scores only for User's use alone for the purposes certified to Company and for no other purpose or use. All VantageScore® credit scores provided on the Platform will be held in strict confidence and may never be sold, licensed, copied, reused, disclosed, reproduced, revealed or made accessible, in whole or in part, to any person except as required by law or as otherwise set forth in your agreement with Company. The VantageScore® trademark is owned by VantageScore Solutions, LLC.
a.Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.

b.Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement, and any additional terms or conditions referenced herein, supersedes all prior agreements, whether written or oral, between the Parties with respect to its subject matter and constitutes a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the Parties with respect to its subject matter. Where the terms of this Agreement conflict with any referenced terms or conditions, the terms of this Agreement shall control. The Parties acknowledge that they have not relied on any promise, representation, or warranty, express or implied, not contained in this Agreement.

If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
