2. PURPOSE OF THE WEBSITE.
The Website is exclusively an online tool whereby Tenants (as defined below) and Landlords (as defined below) can submit Applications to CCPC. CCPC then supplies the Tenant Applications to Landlords so Landlords can attempt to locate suitable Accommodations (as defined below) for Tenants. CCPC hosts and maintains the Website; however, as the provider of the Website, CCPC does not own, create, sell, resell, provide, control, manage, offer, deliver, or supply any Accommodations on or through the Website. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them herein: (a) “Tenant” means any User using the Website to search for housing accommodations offered by a Landlord; (b) “Landlord” means any User who has listed housing accommodations for Tenants on and through the Website; and (c) “Accommodations” means housing accommodations.
2.1. Relationship with CCPC.
CCPC merely makes the Website available to Tenants and Landlords to submit Applications and ultimately transact directly with each other. Through the Website, Landlords may be notified of Tenants that may be seeking certain Accommodations the Landlords offer, and Tenants may be notified of Landlords that may offer the Accommodations the Tenants seek. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Users are individually responsible for evaluating Tenants and Landlords and determining the safety, suitability, and legality of any Accommodations. If Users decide to consummate a Transaction (as defined below) with each other, then such Transaction is directly between the Users and CCPC is not a party to that Transaction. For purposes of this Agreement, “Transaction” means the agreement between a Landlord and a Tenant in which a particular Landlord agrees to lease an Accommodation to a Tenant, and a particular Tenant agrees to lease from a particular Landlord an Accommodation offered by the Landlord.
2.2. CCPC Not Responsible.
2.2.1. You acknowledge, agree, and understand that CCPC is not a party to the relationship, Transaction, or any other dealings between Tenant and Landlord. Without limitation, Users are solely responsible for: (a) ensuring the safety, suitability, and legality of any Accommodation; (b) determining the suitability of other Users for a Transaction; and (c) negotiating, agreeing to, and executing any lease or other terms or conditions of a Transaction.
2.2.2. You further acknowledge, agree, and understand that you are solely responsible for assessing whether to enter into a Transaction with another User and for verifying any information about another User. CCPC does not: (a) make any representations about or guaranty the safety or suitability of any Accommodations; or (b) except for minimal initial background checks on Tenants based on information submitted in Tenant Applications, verify any information provided in Applications by Landlords or Tenants, or investigate or otherwise perform background checks or any other due diligence on Landlords or Tenants. Accordingly, Users are responsible for performing background checks and other due diligence on the other party to any Transaction.
2.2.3.You acknowledge, agree, and understand that CCPC does not, in any way, supervise, direct, control, or evaluate Landlords or Tenants, except as expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement, and that CCPC is not responsible in any way for the Application information or Accommodations. CCPC makes no representations or warranties whatsoever about and does not guaranty, and you agree not to hold CCPC responsible for: (a) the quality, safety, suitability, or legality of any Accommodations any Landlord offers; (b) the qualifications, background, or identities of Users; (c) the ability of Landlords to supply particular Accommodations on proposed terms; (d) the ability of Tenants to pay for Accommodations; or (e) the ability or willingness of a Tenant or Landlord to actually complete a Transaction.
2.2.4. If you are a Tenant User of the Website, you acknowledge that your submission of an Application or use of the Website does not in any way guaranty that you will consummate a Transaction and obtain an Accommodation.
