WHEREAS, Above Modern shall provide the Above Modern Services to enable Agent to develop Agent Websites for Marketing Property Listings.
WHEREAS, Agent has a contractual right to list and market all Properties marketed or displayed on Agent Websites.
WHEREAS, Agent wishes to engage Above Modern for the provision of the Services, related resources, and deliverables in order to streamline the marketing of Agent’s Property Listings.
WHEREAS, Above Modern wishes to provide such Services to the Agent.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereby agree as follows.
Term of this Agreement
This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties for the term as agreed upon by the parties at the execution of this Agreement. If no term is agreed upon by the parties, this Agreement will remain effective for the later of (1) 12 months from the execution date; or (2) the date the Agent ends hosting Agent’s Websites on the Above Modern Website.
This Agreement, or its subsequent revisions, will renew automatically for a period of 12 months on the last day of the term (whichever is applicable) unless Agent terminates this Agreement before the expiration of the term.
Payment Terms
Payment may be made to Above Modern by check, automatic clearinghouse, credit or debit card, or by whatever means are made available on the Above Modern Website. By making this payment, Agent warrants that it has sufficient funds to pay for the Above Modern Services. If a transaction is denied because of insufficient funds, at no fault of Above Modern, Above Modern may charge Agent amounts not exceeding the costs incurred by Above Modern in carrying out the transaction.
Agent may be responsible for paying any fees or costs associated with payment. All sales are final and not subject to refunds, except at the sole discretion of Above Modern.
Above Modern provides one core service - hosting.
Fees charged to Agents are hosting fees (the “Hosting Fee”), which are determined by the number of Agent Websites published in their account.
The Hosting Fee
Above Modern provides the service of hosting Agent’s Propert Websites on the Above Modern Website. Above Modern will charge Agent the Hosting Fee on a monthly recurring basis. Failure to pay the Hosting Fee for one consecutive month will result in the discontinuation of the hosting services of the Agent’s Websites by Above Modern.
The Agent Websites and related back-end application code will be hosted on the Above Modern server.
Customer shall pay a Hosting Fee of:
$99 per month – 1-5 SITES
$149 per month – UP TO 10 SITES
$199 per month – UP TO 20 SITES
$249 per month – UNLIMITED SITES
Hosting Fees after the initial commitment will be pro-rated for the first month based on a 30-day month for portals that launch and are hosted for a portion of a month period. Recurring Hosting Fees shall only be payable via a credit card as provided by the Client. The Hosting Fee shall begin the day the Portal is launched on the server for public display (the “Portal Launch Date”) and shall be pro-rated based on the number of days hosting is provided for any partial month. Above Modern reserves the right to change any Hosting Fees pricing, at Above Modern’s sole discretion.
Timely payment of the Hosting Fee enables the Agent to continuously access the Agent Dashboard for the creation of Agent Websites. Furthermore, already-published Agent Websites will continue to be published for public-viewing upon the continuous timely payment of the Hosting Fee.
If the Agent wishes to publish more Agent Websites than is available under the Agent’s current Hosting Fee level, then Agent will be automatically promoted to increase the Hosting Fee level upon Agent’s attempt to publish the Agent Website. For example, if Agent has paid for the Hosting Fee associated with the hosting of 1-5 published Agent Websites, Agent will be automatically prompted to upgrade Agent’s Hosting Fee level whenever Agent attempts to publish a sixth Agent Website. Agent has full discretion and choice with whether to upgrade the Hosting Fee level.
The Hosting Fee level maximum numbers (5, 10, 20, etc.) only apply to Agent Websites which are actively published for public viewing. For example, If Agent has purchased the Hosting Fee level associated with 6-10 Agent Websites, and Agent currently has 7 Agent Websites published, Agent has 3 more Agent Websites available for publication without the need to raise Agent’s Hosting Fee level. If Agent then removes 1 Agent Website from publication for public viewing, Agent then has 6 published Agent Websites, and is able to publish up to 4 more Agent Websites without needing to upgrade Agent’s Hosting Fee level.
The Agent may design up to the maximum number of Agent Websites associated with the purchased Hosting Fee level on the Agent Dashboard with or without publication. For example, If Agent has purchased the Hosting Fee level associated with 6-10 Agent Websites, and Agent currently has 6 Agent Websites published, Agent may design up to 4 unpublished Agent Websites through the Agent Dashboard. The Agent Dashboard will allow Agent to Design only up to the maximum number of Agent Websites associated with the Agent’s Hosting Fee level.
Agent may downgrade Agent’s Hosting Fee level at any time through the Agent Dashboard. The Company will downgrade Agent automatically upon the next payment renewal cycle if the number of hosted Agent Websites, whether published or not, decreases under the minimum threshold for the previous Hosting Fee level.
By purchasing the Above Modern Services, Agent will have access to a back-end webpage that enables Agent to manage all of Agent’s Websites (the “Agent Dashboard”). In the Agent Dashboard, Agent can manage the content displayed on each Website, including the information and Media used to promote the associated website. Agent will also be granted access to contact information of any person who submits an interest form as provided on each Agent Website. The Agent Dashboard will provide Agent with a means of adjusting global settings over all Agent’s Websites, the ability to publish/unpublish any Agent Website, as well as a means of adjusting Agent’s personal or company information.
Term of Hosting & Pricing
Above Modern reserves the right to change any pricing, at Above Modern’s sole discretion. Pricing for the Hosting Fees may change at any time at the sole discretion of Above Modern. The Agent agrees to pay any modified Fees for any subsequent purchases of Hosting Service. Above Modern reserves the right to adjust the actual pricing to accommodate any one or group of Agents and Above Modern is under no duty to match the pricing for Agent that it may offer other persons.
Above Modern may adjust the Hosting Fees at any time at its sole discretion. If Above Modern modifies the Hosting Fees, Agent agrees to pay the modified Hosting Fee for every subsequent pay cycle. Above Modern will notify Agent of any alterations to the Hosting Fees via the Agent’s Dashboard on the Above Modern Website.
Above Modern is under no duty, and Agent waives any right, to notification of any Hosting Fee adjustments. Agent will waive any claim Agent may have against Above Modern from damages arising from Fee Adjustments by Above Modern.
