WE URGE ALL USERS TO BE RESPONSIBLE ABOUT THEIR USE OF THE SITE, ANY AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO AS A RESULT OF EITHER LISTING A PROPERTY OR REQUESTING ACCESS TO A PROPERTY IN A LISTING. THE SITE AND SERVICES COMPRISE AN ONLINE PLATFORM THROUGH WHICH LAND-OWNERS MAY CREATE LISTINGS FOR PROPERTIES AND LAND-USERS AND POTENTIAL LAND-USERS MAY LEARN ABOUT AND REQUEST ACCESS TO PROPERTIES DIRECTLY WITH THE LAND-OWNERS. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT CLAS IS NOT A PARTY TO ANY AGREEMENTS ENTERED INTO BETWEEN LAND-OWNERS AND LAND-USERS, NOR IS CLAS A BROKER, AGENT OR INSURER.

CLAS DOES NOT CONTROL, AND HAS NO RIGHT TO CONTROL, YOUR LISTING, YOUR OFFLINE ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR LISTING, OR ANY OTHER MATTERS RELATED TO ANY LISTING, THAT YOU PROVIDE.

CLAS reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify the Site or Services or to modify these Terms or other CLAS policies or guidelines, including any fees associated with using the Services, at any time and without prior notice. If we modify these Terms, we will either post the modification on the Website or via the Application or otherwise provide you with notice of the modification. We will also update the "Last Updated" date at the top of these Terms. By continuing to access or use the Site or Services after we have posted a modification on the Website or via the Application or have provided you with notice of a modification, you are indicating that you agree to be bound by the modified Terms. If the modified Terms are not acceptable to you, your only recourse is to cease using the Site and Services.

THE SITE AND THE SERVICES ARE INTENDED TO BE USED SOLELY BY PERSONS WHO ARE 18 OR OLDER (“ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS”) AND PERSONS UNDER 18 (“MINORS”) WHO ARE ACCOMPANIED AND SUPERVISED BY AN ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUAL.  Any access to or use of the Site or Services by a Minor who is not accompanied and supervised by an Eligible Individual is expressly prohibited. We do not knowingly collect, retain or use personal information of Minors.

Eligible Individuals wishing to have a Minor accompany them onto a Property must request and obtain permission from the Land-Owner and state the number of Minors accompanying the Eligible Individual in the Access Request. By accessing or using the Site and Services you represent and warrant that you: (i) are 18 years of age or older; and (ii) if you are accompanied by a Minor, the parent or legal guardian or such Minor has consented to use of the Site and Services by such Minor and has agreed that such use will be governed by these Terms.

The Site and Services may be used to facilitate the listing and accessing of Properties.  Such Properties are included in the Listings on the Site and Services by Land-Owners.  You may view Listings as an unregistered visitor to the Site and Services; however, if you wish to submit an Access Request or create a Listing, you must first register and create a CLAS account (“CLAS Account”). Creating a CLAS Account will require you to provide CLAS with certain personal information. All information provided will be treated in accordance with the CLAS Privacy Policy. We encourage you to read and become familiar with the Privacy Policy.

You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current and complete for as long as you maintain a CLAS Account. CLAS reserves the right to suspend or terminate your CLAS Account and your access to the Site and Services, at any time and in CLAS’ sole discretion, including but not limited to, any information provided during the registration process or thereafter proves to be inaccurate, fraudulent, not current, incomplete or otherwise in violation of these Terms. 

AS STATED ABOVE, CLAS MAKES AVAILABLE AN ONLINE PLATFORM FOR LAND-OWNERS AND LAND-USERS TO DIRECTLY ARRANGE WITH EACH OTHER ACCESS TO A PROPERTY.  CLAS IS NOT AN OWNER OR OPERATOR OF PROPERTIES, NOR DOES IT PROVIDE, SELL, RENT, MANAGE OR CONTROL PROPERTIES.  UNLESS EXPLICITLY SPECIFIED OTHERWISE ON THE SITE, CLAS’ RESPONSIBILITIES ARE LIMITED TO FACILITATING THE AVAILABILITY OF THE SITE AND SERVICES. CLAS DOES NOT AND CANNOT CONTROL THE CONTENT CONTAINED IN ANY LISTING AND THE CONDITION, LEGALITY OR SUITABILITY OF ANY PROPERTY FOR ANY PURPOSE.  CLAS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AND DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY RELATED TO ANY AND ALL LISTINGS. ACCORDINGLY, ANY ACCESS REQUEST AND ACCESS CONFIRMATION WILL BE MADE OR ACCEPTED AT THE USER’S OWN RISK.

As a Land-Owner, you may create Listings.  To create a Listing, you will be asked a variety of questions about the Property to be listed, including, but not limited to, the location (including a valid physical address), size, features, activities allowed on the Property and terms and conditions for accessing the Property.  Listings will be made publically available via the Site and Services.  Other Users will be able to send Access Requests via the Site and Services. 

As a Land-Owner, you acknowledge and agree that you alone are responsible for any and all Listings and User-Contributed Content you provide for a Listing. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that you own and/or have all the necessary rights and authority to grant access to any Properties listed by you as a Land-Owner. Upon our request, Land-Owners agree to promptly provide us with proof of personal identification, proof that the location of the Property is accurately described in the Listing, and proof of ownership of the Property, and/or authority to grant access to the Property. 

Further, as a Land-Owner you represent and warrant that any Listing you post and a Land-User’s access of your Listing: (i) will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties, including any lease, rental or easement agreements; and (ii) will (a) be in compliance with all applicable laws (such as zoning and land use laws and laws governing rentals of properties) and rules and regulations that may apply to any Property included in a Listing you post (including having all required permits, licenses and registrations), and (b) not conflict with the rights of third parties. 

Please note that CLAS assumes no responsibility for a Land-Owner’s compliance with any agreements with or duties to third parties, applicable laws, rules and regulations.  CLAS reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Listing for any reason, including but not limited to, Listings that CLAS, in its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, or otherwise harmful to the Site or Services.

If you are a Land-Owner, you understand and agree that CLAS does not act as an insurer or as your contracting agent or broker. If a Land-User sends an Access Request and accesses your Property, any agreement you enter into with such Land-User is between you and the Land-User and CLAS is not a party to it.

You acknowledge and agree that, as a Land-Owner, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of any individuals who reside at or are otherwise present at your Property at your request or invitation, excluding the Land-User (and the individuals the Land-User invites to the Property, if applicable).

It is each Land-Owner’s responsibility to obtain any required and/or appropriate insurance for their Properties. Each Land-Owner is responsible for reviewing any and all insurance policies that you may have for your Properties carefully, and, in particular, to ensure that you are familiar with and understand any exclusions to, and any deductibles that may apply for, such insurance policy, including, but not limited to, whether or not your insurance policy will cover the acts or omissions of Land-Users (and the individuals the Land-User invites to the Property, if applicable) while on your Property.

If you are a Land-Owner and an Access Request is received for your Listing via the Site, you may either grant or reject the Access Request within the Access Request Period of 24 hours, otherwise the Access Request will automatically expire. When an Access Request is received via the Site for your Listing, we will share with you: (i) the first and last name of the Land-User who has sent the Access Request; (ii) whether such Land-User is requesting to bring Minors onto your Property; and (iii) the licence plate of the vehicle which would be used by such Land-User to access your Property. If you agree to grant access to the requesting Land-User, an Access Confirmation will be sent to such Land-User, which will include a time period for which access is granted and may specify additional requirements or conditions which must be met by the Land-Users in order to be granted access to your Property. Any Land-User who has received an Access Confirmation containing any special conditions or requirements must adhere to such requirements or conditions. As a Land-Owner, you agree not to wrongfully or unlawfully deny access to the Property in your Listings to any Land-User.  

Each and every Land-User must send an Access Request and must receive an Access Confirmation prior to entering any Properties included in a Listing.  If you do not receive an Access Confirmation request, you do not have authorization to access the Property.  If an Access Confirmation is received, the Land-User agrees to scan the Property’s CLAS Sign immediately prior to entering the Property and upon their departure from the Property.  As a Land-User, you acknowledge and agree that you may be required to enter into one or more separate agreements, waiver or terms and conditions before legally being entitled to access a Property.

Land-Users agree that an Access Confirmation is merely a license granted by the Land-Owner to the Land-User to enter and use the Property for the limited duration as set out in the [Access Confirmation] and in accordance with the Land-User’s agreement with the Land-Owner. Land-Users further agree to leave the Property no later than the time that the Land-Owner specifies in the Access Confirmation or such other time as mutually agreed upon between the Land-Owner and Land-User. If a Land-User remains on the applicable Property past the agreed upon checkout time without the Land-Owner’s consent, they no longer have a license to access or otherwise remain on the Property and the Land-Owner is entitled to have the Land-User leave the Property in accordance with applicable laws. Any Land-User who overstays on the Property without the Land-Owners’ consent is trespassing and may be subject to civil and criminal prosecution.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, CLAS grants you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to access the Site and Services solely for the purpose of creating a Listing, searching for a Listing, accessing or researching (for the purpose of inquiring about accessing) any of the Listings offered on the Site or for any other purpose clearly stated on the Site, all in accordance with these Terms.  Any use of the Site that is not for one of the foregoing purposes or otherwise in accordance with these Terms or as otherwise authorized by CLAS in writing is expressly prohibited.

There are limited ways in which a User may use our trademarks or logos in connection with a Listing without specific prior written authorization.  The following are general guidelines.  It is usually permissible for you to refer to CLAS in a descriptive manner in permissible communications. For example, you might say "Check out my property on CLAS," or "I list properties on CLAS."  However, you may not refer to CLAS in any way that might lead someone to believe that your company, property, listing or site is sponsored by, affiliated with, or endorsed by CLAS.  For example, you may not say “CLAS sponsors my property,” or describe your Property as “CLAS’ best Property.”  You may not use the CLAS name on any other website that lists properties without our prior written authorization. 

The CLAS name and logo are trademarks owned by CLAS. We generally do not permit the use of our names and logos, other than as described above or with our prior written authorization.  If you want permission to use our name and/or logo in any other manner, including, without limitation, on any website, business card, signage, t-shirt, etc., or if you have other questions, you may contact us through the “contact” link on the bottom of the homepage.

You agree and acknowledge that (i) your purchase may be subject to foreign exchange fees or differences in prices based on location (e.g. exchange rates); (ii) you authorize CLAS to store and continue billing your payment method (e.g. credit card) even after it has expired, to avoid interruptions in your service (e.g. subscriptions) and to facilitate easy payment for new services; (iii) you must pay us for applicable fees and taxes unless you cancel the Services, in which case you agree to still pay these fees through the end of the applicable subscription period; and (iv) taxes are calculated based on the billing information that you provide us at the time of purchase.

All subscription listings are sold to run the full term that is chosen by the User. The term starts on the date that the User submits the full or initial (as applicable) payment and expires upon the selected period of time thereafter. For example, for an annual subscription term, if the User submits payment for the subscription on July 1st, the subscription would expire on June 30 of the following year. No refunds are available once a subscription has been purchased and all Users are required to pay the monthly subscription fee on a monthly basis for the duration of the applicable subscription period.  In the event that a User terminates their subscription prior to expiry of the applicable subscribed period, the User will be charged the remaining balance of the subscribed period at the date of termination.

The User shall be solely responsible for repairing or replacing a damaged or stolen CLAS Sign at its sole cost and expense. The User is also responsible for determining the number of CLAS Signs that are required for each Property.  Moreover, upon termination of the User’s Account for any reason, the User shall immediately remove any and all CLAS Signs that may have been posted on the User’s respective Properties.
