Section II – Billing
- RBO Website features and Resources (including previously created transactions, contacts, leads, etc.) require a paid account to access and RBO reserves the right to block you from any and all access if you do not have a paid account.
- Your RBO account is subscription-based and will be charged on a package and/or per-user basis in accordance with the following terms:
- RBO will not reduce the price of your subscription package on a per capita basis.
- E.g. If your subscription package provides for 10 users to access RBO but your brokerage only needs 9, you must still pay for a 10 user package.
- You may elect to add user accounts per capita (“add-ons”) for an additional fee per user.
- E.g. If your subscription package provides for 10 users to access RBO but your brokerage needs 11, you may pay an additional fee for user 11.
- Only the Account Holder and your users have access to the RBO Website and Resources.
- Any user from a different brokerage that the Account Holder or user adds to a transaction, as well as any third parties or clients added to a transaction, need not have a paid account.
- You will be billed for your RBO subscription monthly. We reserve the right to modify our fees at any time for any reason upon notice to you through posting on our website or notification by email. Any increase in fees will be prospective only, beginning with the next subscription period. If you attempt to circumvent paying for accounts as required by the above terms, then RBO reserves the right to terminate any and all accounts that are in violation of these terms.
- RBO does not provide refunds for payments you make to our company under any circumstances. All payments made by you to RBO are non-refundable, regardless of how you view the performance of our product and/or regardless of your intentions when paying for our product.
- If you wish to downgrade your subscription you may do so once per year by emailing us at support@realtybackoffice.com. Deactivated user accounts will lose access to any and all data stored with RBO. All deactivated user account data will still be accessible by the account administrator.
- If you wish to upgrade a canceled or deactivated account, you must first reactivate your subscription. After reactivating your subscription you can upgrade your subscription or purchase add-ons. However, you will not receive access or be charged at the new rate until the following billing period.
- If you wish to cancel future payments under your subscription, you can do so by emailing us at support@realtybackoffice.com with the subject line “Cancel Subscription” at any time. We will make an attempt to respond to your request within 24 business hours. Subscription cancellation requests made via any other method by you will not be honored, and you will be responsible for all future payments that continue to be charged to your account until you cancel your subscription in the manner required above. RBO does not provide prorated refunds for subscription cancellations made prior to the duration of your subscription.
- RBO will not reduce the price of your subscription package on a per capita basis.

Any suspected illegal, fraudulent or abusive activity may be grounds for terminating our relationship and may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities.

Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
- Arbitration: You agree that any claims or disputes (“Claims”) that arise out of or relate in any way to this User Agreement, our Privacy Policy, the Website, Resources, or any service will be resolved by final and binding arbitration instead of litigation in Court. In arbitration, there is no judge and no jury. Rather, Claims are decided by an arbitrator whose authority is created by and governed by this arbitration agreement. Review of arbitration awards in courts is very limited.
- Class Action Waiver: You agree that all claims arising out of this User Agreement, our Privacy Policy, the Website, Resources, or any service will be resolved on an individual basis and that there will be no class, representative, or consolidated action or actions in arbitration. In addition, neither you nor we may participate in a class or representative action in court as a class member if the claims asserted at arbitration are within the scope of this Agreement and asserted directly by you or us. You and RBO waive any right to participate in any class action involving disputes between us. This class action waiver is an essential part of our arbitration agreement and may not be severed. If for any reason this class action waiver is found unenforceable, then the entire arbitration will not apply. However, the Jury Trial Waiver set forth below will remain in full force and effect.
- Arbitrator Authority: The arbitrator’s authority is governed by this arbitration agreement. You and RBO agree that the arbitrator may award the same relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could, but the arbitrator may not award declaratory or injunctive relief that extends beyond you and your dealings with RBO. An arbitrator may award attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party if a court would be authorized to do so under applicable law.
- Arbitration Procedures: You and RBO agree that your agreement affects interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act applies. All arbitrations shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The AAA’s rules are available on its website at adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. If the Claim asserted in arbitration is for less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply. If the claim is for more than $75,000, then the Commercial Rules will apply. If there is a conflict between the AAA Rules and this arbitration agreement, then this arbitration agreement shall control. For claims less than $75,000, RBO will pay all filing fees and costs associated with commencing an arbitration, but you will be responsible for paying your own attorneys’ fees unless you prevail in the arbitration and the arbitrator finds that you are entitled to recover attorneys’ fees under the law. The arbitration will be held in a mutually agreeable and convenient location.
- Governing Law: This Website is controlled by RBO from our offices located in the state of Florida, USA. It can be accessed by most countries around the world. As each country has laws that may differ from those of Florida, by accessing our Website, you agree that the statutes and laws of Florida, without regard to the conflict of laws and the United Nations Convention on the International Sales of Goods, will apply to all matters relating to the use of this Website and the purchase of any products or services through this site.
- Survival: This arbitration agreement survives the termination of this Agreement between you and RBO.
Jury Trial Waiver
- You and RBO expressly and knowingly waive the right to a trial by jury. This means that if for any reason the arbitration agreement contained above is not enforced or is found inapplicable, our claims against each other will be resolved by a judge rather than a jury.
