Reporting Breaches of User Conduct and Prohibited Listings
If you become aware of a material breach of User Conduct by another User or a Prohibited Listing (“Serious User Misconduct”), you have the option to immediately report such breach of User Conduct and Prohibited Listing by writing to listings@listingsproject.com.
Any positive contributions made by you in good faith may be helpful in building our community of trust and only enhance the experience of Listings Project so others will not feel mislead or waste more time pursuing listings with other listers and Users who are not following the rules or otherwise engaging in illegal activity.
As a community promoting values of trust and connectedness and the other values espoused in our Community Agreements including without limitation Equity, Transparency, Collective Care, Justice and Joy, Listings Project takes breaches of our Terms of Use — together with violations of our norms and values set forth in our Community Agreements, very seriously and seeks to promote truthful, accurate and not misleading communication of real estate, gig, job services listings to our creative community of Users. However, we recognize that not all purported breaches are made in good faith — and in some cases may unfairly damage the reputation or business of another lister who is harmed by an inaccurate, misleading or materially unfair reporting of a breach, and we kindly request that any reporting of Serious User Misconduct be accompanied by as much detail as you can reasonably provide, together with any attachments of materials backing-up your claims. If available.
A few ground rules to be aware of with respect to reporting of breaches of Serious User Misconduct:
All Listers and Users may lose access to Listings Project and have their accounts terminated at any time for any reason, with or without notice.
You agree that: (a) any complaint set forth by you to Listings Project about another user or Lister will be true, accurate and complete in all material respects and (b) you will not make any untrue statement of a material fact nor omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
You agree to promptly update or withdraw any complaints made to Listings Project if you find out additional material information that would make your prior statements or complaint to Listings Project materially misleading or not true, accurate or complete.
Listings Project is not in a position to mediate or resolve any disputes between Users and Listers on anyone’s behalf.
When a user brings a complaint against a fellow Lister, Listings Project can review any documentation and information provided to determine if anyone broke Community Agreements or these Terms of Use. If so, Listers may lose access to Listings Project and have their accounts terminated and postings may be removed or modified depending on facts and circumstances.
Once a complaint is made, Listings Project may act (or not act) on such a complaint at any time at its sole discretion.
In sharing any materials with Listings Project, you are agreeing not to share anything unlawful or any proprietary or confidential information of any third party for which you do not have the right to share such information with Listings Project. In addition, you are expressly licensing to Listings Project the right to review, use, publicize or otherwise deploy such materials and information for its own internal purposes, including for the review and/or resolution of potential Serious User Misconduct.
Listings Project is not required to update you or any User or Lister as to the status of such internal processes and proceedings or even its determination as to whether or not to act upon a complaint.
In some instances, Listings Project may prioritize more serious complaints over others or collect additional back-up or choose to investigate or not make further inquiries of the Users in any dispute.
However, in all instances, Listings Project has the sole discretion whether or not to pursue any matter, and to opt to what degree it will pursue one or matters as well as any resolution (however satisfactory or not to any party) to a problem or dispute brought to our attention.
Listings Project has the right to approach any other User or Lister with some or all of the information you’ve provided and provide important feedback, and the information you’ve provided is not subject to any exclusive license or limitation imposed on Listings Project’s rights to make additional inquiries and requests, including inquiries and requests or conversations with Users or Listers accused of Serious User Misconduct.
Listings Project’s failure to act on a complaint or failure to reach a satisfactory resolution of any complaint is not to viewed as endorsement of any other Lister or User’s activities. Be mindful that Listings Project has limited resources and is also constrained to follow legal advice of its lawyers in the handling of various matters and disputes and it is challenging to keep everyone happy and honest all of the time, despite the best of intentions of various community members.
If you wrongly bring a complaint against a fellow Lister, your Listings Project account may be terminated.
While we appreciate moral rectitude, support and enforcement of community norms and values and do not wish to tolerate fraud, illegal activity or breaches of Community Agreements or these Terms and Conditions, we also ask you to respect to the privacy of other Users and Listers and to be cautious in your criticisms of other and in the event that you publicize any complaints made to Listings Project as well as to be mindful of your obligations under these Terms of Use. Please be reminded at all times that the account of any User may be suspended or terminated at any time by Listings Project for any reason or no reason, with or without notice.
The withdrawal or deletion of any complaint of Serious User Misconduct does not require Listings Project to withdraw or modify its own internal processes in pursuing any matter relating to Serious User Misconduct.
User Cooperation
You agree to cooperate with and assist Listings Project (or its affiliates) in good faith, and to provide us with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by us with respect to any investigation or inquiry undertaken by us regarding use or abuse of the LP Platform and the Service. In all cases, Listings Project is not acting as an agent for any user or lister.

Any other purpose will require express permission from the User and Listings Project. You may not use any such information for any unlawful purpose or with any unlawful intent. In all cases, you must give Users an opportunity to remove their information from your address book or database or other records and a chance to review what information you have collected about them. In addition, under no circumstances may you use or disclose personal information (whether or not for a commercial purpose) about another User to any third party nor infringe upon the data privacy rights of any User or any other person, without the consent of the other User or such person. You agree that other Users may use your personal information to communicate with you in accordance with this provision. Further, you agree that you will protect other Users’ personal information with the same degree of care that you protect your own confidential information (using at minimum a reasonable standard of care), and you assume all liability for the misuse, loss or unauthorized transfer of such information. We do not tolerate spam or unsolicited commercial electronic communications. Therefore, without limiting the foregoing, you are not to add a User to your mailing list (email or physical mail) without the User’s express consent.

Discount Codes for Third Party LP Platform or Services, Apps, and related Products and Service
Listings Project works with its marketing partners to provide discount codes and offers to its users and paid members from time to time.
Discount codes and offers presented by Listings Project are subject to each marketing partner’s terms and conditions, which can vary significantly. In some circumstances, discounts offered may not include additional taxes and other fees which are not subject to any discount. Our marketing partners are independent businesses not affiliated with Listings Project. While we hope you find an enjoyable or useful product or service at a discount, we are not endorsing nor guaranteeing the quality of the products and services offered, nor compliance with the terms and conditions offered, by any our marketing partners. You must use caution before buying any products or services. Some discount codes and offers may be limited to items in-stock only and often are not valid on prior purchases. Any offer presented by us may be incomplete, incorrect or require updating and you are not to rely on our discount codes and promotions; our information is qualified entirely with reference to the full terms and conditions relating to a discount code or offer. In particular, the Federal Trade Commission guidelines relating to deceptive advertising caution consumers to be wary of any offer that claims to be “free” --- you are urged to carefully review all terms and conditions always, but particularly in any promotion offering anything “free.” For full terms and understanding of what a discount code or promotion entails and how to qualify for such an offer, please visit our marketing partners’ website or app for more information.
Discounts and offers subject to change, other discounts or offers may be more suitable for you. Discount codes and offers distributed by Listings Project to you may not be combined with any other sale, promotion, discount, code, coupon and/or offer. Promotions have no cash value.

Jurisdiction and Choice of Law
These Terms, and the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of law principles (other than the principles set forth in Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York), provided, however, that the enforceability of this Section 16 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., to the extent permitted by law, and that in the event of any conflict by and between New York law and the FAA, the FAA will prevail and control.
Any action outside of the arbitration provision of these Terms of Use (the “Arbitration Agreement”), that you or any third party may bring to enforce these Terms of Use against us, or in connection with any matters related to the Service, the LP Platform or Listings Project, in each case, solely to the extent — or except as otherwise — expressly permitted by the Arbitration Agreement or through the arbitration initiated through the Arbitration Agreement, will be brought only in either the state or Federal courts located in the borough of Manhattan in New York, New York, and you expressly consent to the jurisdiction of said courts.

Dispute Resolution (Arbitration Agreement)
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION ENTITLED “DISPUTE RESOLUTION (ARBITRATION AGREEMENT)” (THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”) CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND LISTINGS PROJECT LLC TO AGREE TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES. AND CLAIMS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH WE CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER. ARBITRATION PRECLUDES YOU AND LISTINGS PROJECT LLC FROM SUING IN COURT OR HAVING A JURY TRIAL. YOU AND LISTINGS PROJECT LLC AGREE THAT ARBITRATION WILL BE SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION, OR ANY OTHER KIND OF REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. LISTINGS PROJECT LLC AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY.
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW IF YOU WISH TO OPT OUT OF THE REQUIREMENT OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS ARE ALLOWED UNDER THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.
Any dispute or claim arising from, relating to, or connected with these Terms of Use, the Listings Project Membership Program, and/or any Listings Project Member account (each a “Claim”) will be resolved by binding arbitration (rather than in court). All Claims submitted to arbitration under these Terms will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules (including the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, if applicable), and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration will be the State of New York or, where limited by applicable law, the jurisdiction in which you reside or may be conducted by telephone, online or based solely upon written submissions where no in-person appearance is required. Notwithstanding this Arbitration Agreement we may bring a Claim for injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights or those of our affiliates, suppliers, or licensors.
FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT. These Terms affect interstate commerce, and the enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., to the extent permitted by law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms of Use, and the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability.
ONE YEAR TO ASSERT CLAIMS. To the extent permitted by law, any Claim by you or Listings Project LLC relating in any way to these Terms of Use, or any aspect of the relationship between you and Listings Project LLC as relates to these Terms of Use, must be filed within one year after such Claim arises; otherwise, the Claim is permanently barred, which means that you and Listings Project LLC will not have the right to assert the Claim.
WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS. Each party agrees that any Claim will be arbitrated or litigated, as the case may be, on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any Claim of any other party whether through class action proceedings, class arbitration proceedings or otherwise. EACH PARTY AGREES THAT SUCH PARTY IS KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVING ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
OPTION TO OPT-OUT. You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date that the earlier of (a) you first used our Service or the LP Platform or (b) become a Member (whether a Free Community Member or a Premium Supporting Member), in each case unless a longer period is required by applicable law.

BOX 231510, New York, NY 10023, and your written notification must include your name, mailing address, and email address. The notice must clearly indicate your intent to opt-out of this binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with immediately preceding Section entitled “Jurisdiction and Choice of Law” above.

BOX 231510, New York, NY 10023. If you do, the most recent version of the Arbitration Agreement before the change you rejected will apply.
You acknowledge and agree that, regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any Claim or cause of action you may have must be filed within one (1) calendar year after such Claim or cause of action arises, or forever be barred.
For purposes of any Claim that is not subject to the arbitration procedures in this Arbitration Agreement, we both agree to the governing law and jurisdiction as set out in immediately preceding Section entitled “Jurisdiction and Choice of Law” above.
