2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

2.1 Platform Overview

CVC Intelligence LLC, operating under the trade name Code Violation Check, operates three integrated digital platforms:

2.2 Nature of the Services

The Services provide access to information derived from publicly available government records, including but not limited to building department records, code enforcement records, inspection reports, permit filings, zoning records, and related municipal databases. CVC aggregates, curates, indexes, formats, and presents this information as a value-added intelligence service. The underlying source data originates from governmental bodies and is made available to CVC pursuant to public records laws; CVC does not originate or independently verify the underlying facts contained in those records.

2.3 Reservation of Rights to Modify Services

CVC reserves the right, in its sole discretion and at any time, to: (a) modify, update, enhance, or discontinue any feature, functionality, data set, or component of the Services, with or without notice; (b) change the geographic coverage, data sources, or refresh cadence of the Services; (c) impose or modify usage limits, access tiers, or feature availability based on subscription level; and (d) suspend or terminate access to all or any portion of the Services. To the extent a material feature that a paid subscriber regularly uses is discontinued without a functional equivalent, CVC will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide advance notice.

2.4 Access Requirements

Use of the Services may require internet connectivity, compatible hardware and software, and, for certain features, a registered account and/or paid subscription. You are solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining all equipment, connectivity, and systems necessary to access the Services.

---

3. ACCOUNT REGISTRATION AND SECURITY

3.1 Registration Requirements

Access to certain features of the Services requires you to create an account. When registering, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information, and to promptly update that information as necessary to keep it accurate, current, and complete. CVC reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account based on inaccurate, false, or outdated information.

3.2 Credential Security

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account username, password, and any API keys or access tokens issued to you. You agree to: (a) select a strong, unique password; (b) never share your credentials with any third party; (c) notify CVC immediately at info@codeviolationcheck.com upon discovery of any unauthorized access to or use of your account or credentials; and (d) ensure that you properly log out of your account after each session, particularly when using shared or public devices.

3.3 Account Responsibility

You are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your account, whether or not authorized by you. CVC will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with these security obligations. CVC may, without limiting other available remedies, suspend or terminate your account if it reasonably believes that your credentials have been compromised or that unauthorized use is occurring.

3.4 One Account Per User

Each individual user may maintain only one active account. Corporate, enterprise, or team accounts must be structured in accordance with any applicable written agreement with CVC. You may not create duplicate or fictitious accounts, register under a false identity, or create accounts on behalf of third parties without CVC's written authorization.

3.5 Account Transfers

Account credentials and access rights are personal to the registered user and may not be transferred, sold, or assigned to any other person or entity without CVC's prior written consent.

4. DATA ACCURACY DISCLAIMER

4.1 Source and Limitations

The information available through the Services is derived from third-party public records sources, including state, county, and municipal governments and their agencies. CVC compiles, standardizes, and presents this information but does not independently verify, authenticate, or certify the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any individual record. Source agencies may have incomplete data, data entry errors, recording delays, or records that have been expunged, updated, corrected, or superseded since CVC last refreshed its database.

4.2 No Warranty of Accuracy

CVC MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, THAT ANY INFORMATION AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICES IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, FREE OF ERRORS, OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Data may be incomplete, out of date, misattributed, or may reflect outdated governmental records. Property violations may have been resolved, appealed, dismissed, or superseded. New violations may exist that have not yet been recorded or transmitted to CVC.

4.3 Independent Verification Required

You are solely responsible for independently verifying any information obtained through the Services before relying on it for any purpose. CVC strongly recommends that users: (a) contact the relevant governmental authority directly to confirm the current status of any code violation or permit record; (b) conduct an independent title search and property inspection as appropriate; (c) consult qualified legal, real estate, engineering, or other professional counsel; and (d) not rely exclusively on CVC data in making any financial, legal, or business decision.

4.4 Data Refresh Cadence

CVC updates its data on a periodic basis, which may vary by jurisdiction, data type, and subscription tier. The date of last refresh, where available, is displayed in the interface. CVC does not guarantee any specific data refresh frequency.

---

5. NOT LEGAL, FINANCIAL, OR PROFESSIONAL ADVICE

5.1 Informational Purposes Only

The Services and all content, data, reports, scores, analyses, alerts, rankings, and other outputs provided through the Services are for informational purposes only. Nothing in the Services constitutes legal advice, financial advice, investment advice, real estate advice, architectural or engineering advice, or any other form of professional advice. CVC is a data aggregation and information services company, not a law firm, financial institution, real estate broker, or licensed professional services provider.

5.2 No Attorney-Client or Advisory Relationship

Your use of the Services does not create, and shall not be construed to create, an attorney-client relationship, a fiduciary relationship, or any professional advisory relationship between you and CVC. Any communication with CVC personnel, including customer support staff, shall not be deemed professional advice of any kind.

5.3 Consult Qualified Professionals

Before taking any action in reliance on information obtained through the Services — including but not limited to making a real estate investment or transaction, initiating legal proceedings, filing a complaint with a governmental authority, or making any financial commitment — you should consult with a qualified attorney, licensed real estate professional, certified financial advisor, or other relevant professional. CVC explicitly disclaims any liability for actions taken based on information obtained through the Services without such independent professional consultation.

6.2 Public Records Data

The underlying facts contained in individual public records — such as the existence and text of a particular code violation — are not owned by CVC. However, CVC's unique compilation, curation, normalization, classification, presentation, scoring, and analysis of that data constitutes an original, protectable intellectual property interest under applicable copyright, trade secret, and database protection law. The mere fact that source data is available from a governmental source does not grant any right to reproduce, distribute, or exploit CVC's proprietary compilation or presentation thereof.

6.3 Limited License to Users

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of applicable fees, CVC grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services solely for your own internal, lawful purposes as expressly permitted by these Terms and any applicable subscription plan. This license does not include any right to: (a) download, store, or reproduce data in bulk; (b) create derivative works from CVC data; (c) sublicense, resell, or commercially exploit the Services or any output thereof; or (d) access the Services through automated means not expressly authorized by CVC.

You may not use any CVC mark without prior written permission. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use any CVC trademark, service mark, trade name, or logo.

6.5 Feedback

If you provide CVC with any suggestions, ideas, feedback, or recommendations regarding the Services ("Feedback"), you hereby grant CVC a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, create derivative works from, and otherwise exploit such Feedback for any purpose, including commercial purposes, without compensation or attribution to you.

7. DATA LICENSING

7.1 Separate Written Agreement Required

Any commercial use, redistribution, resale, sublicensing, or integration of CVC data into third-party products, systems, or services requires a separate, written data licensing agreement executed by an authorized representative of CVC. Use of the Services under these Terms does not grant any commercial data license. If you are interested in a data licensing arrangement, contact CVC at info@codeviolationcheck.com.

7.2 Permitted Scope

Your access to and use of data through the Services is limited to the scope expressly authorized under your subscription plan or written data license agreement. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by CVC.

7.3 Bulk Data and API Access

Access to bulk data downloads or API-based data delivery requires a separate written agreement specifying permissible use cases, volume limits, security requirements, and data handling obligations. Unauthorized bulk access or API calls in excess of authorized limits are prohibited and may result in immediate account suspension and legal action.

7.4 Data Retention by Users

Unless a separate written data license agreement provides otherwise, you may not retain, store, or archive CVC data beyond what is reasonably necessary for the immediate permitted use. You may not build or maintain a persistent copy of CVC data outside the Services interface.

11.1 Subscription Plans

CVC offers access to the Services on a subscription basis. Available subscription plans, tiers, pricing, and included features are as set forth on the applicable pricing page of the Websites, as updated from time to time. By subscribing to a paid plan, you agree to the pricing and terms associated with your selected plan.

11.2 Recurring Billing

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual, as selected) unless cancelled by you prior to the renewal date. By subscribing, you authorize CVC or its payment processor to automatically charge your designated payment method at the beginning of each billing cycle. It is your responsibility to cancel your subscription before the next renewal date if you do not wish to be charged.

11.3 Price Changes

CVC reserves the right to change subscription prices at any time. For existing subscribers, CVC will provide at least thirty (30) days' advance notice of any price increase, via email or in-app notification, before the change takes effect on your account.

Fees for monthly subscriptions are non-refundable. If you cancel a monthly subscription, your access will continue through the end of the current billing period, after which your account will revert to any available free tier or be closed.

12.2 Annual Subscriptions

For annual subscriptions, CVC offers a pro-rated refund for the unused portion of the subscription term, calculated as follows: refund = (annual fee ÷ 12) × number of fully unused calendar months remaining. No refund is provided for partial months. Refund requests for annual subscriptions must be submitted within 60 days of the subscription renewal date or initial purchase date.

12.3 Exceptions

18. GOVERNING LAW

These Terms, and any claim, dispute, or controversy arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms. To the extent any claim is not subject to arbitration under Section 19, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Laramie County, Wyoming for the resolution of such claims.

---

19. DISPUTE RESOLUTION — MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION

19.1 Agreement to Arbitrate

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO RESOLVE MOST DISPUTES WITH CVC THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT, AND WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND YOUR ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Except as set forth in Section 19.5, any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof (each, a "Dispute"), shall be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration rather than in court.

19.2 Informal Resolution First

Before initiating formal arbitration, the party asserting a Dispute must first provide the other party with written notice of the Dispute ("Dispute Notice") by email (to info@codeviolationcheck.com for CVC) or certified mail, describing the nature of the Dispute and the relief sought. The parties agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve the Dispute for a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of the Dispute Notice ("Informal Resolution Period"). Arbitration may not be initiated until the Informal Resolution Period has elapsed without resolution.

19.3 Arbitration Rules and Process

If the Dispute is not resolved during the Informal Resolution Period:

• (a) Arbitration Administrator: The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS (Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services) or, if JAMS is unavailable, by the American Arbitration Association (AAA), in each case in accordance with their then-current Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, including any applicable Consumer or Commercial rules.
• (b) Seat and Location: The arbitration shall be conducted in Cheyenne, Wyoming, or, if agreed upon by both parties, via remote hearing using video conferencing.
• (c) Single Arbitrator: Unless the parties agree otherwise, the arbitration shall be conducted before a single, neutral arbitrator with experience in commercial or technology disputes.
• (d) Language: The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language.
• (e) Fees: Arbitration filing fees and administrative costs shall be allocated pursuant to the applicable JAMS or AAA rules. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, CVC will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees unless the arbitrator finds your claim frivolous.
• (f) Award: The arbitrator may award the same individual remedies available in a court of competent jurisdiction, including declaratory and injunctive relief limited to the individual claimant. The arbitrator shall issue a written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions.
• (g) Finality: The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding, and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
• (h) Confidentiality: The arbitration proceedings and any award shall be kept confidential, except as necessary to enforce the award or as required by law.

19.4 Opt-Out Right

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to info@codeviolationcheck.com within thirty (30) days of first agreeing to these Terms. The opt-out notice must include your name, account email address, and a clear statement that you are opting out of the arbitration agreement. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved pursuant to Section 18 (Governing Law), and the Class Action Waiver in Section 20 shall remain in full force and effect.

19.5 Exceptions to Arbitration

Notwithstanding Section 19.1, either party may pursue the following in court without first initiating informal resolution or arbitration:

• (a) claims for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief to prevent imminent, irreparable harm (including unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information or intellectual property);
• (b) claims within the jurisdiction of a small claims court in the county or jurisdiction of your residence; and
• (c) claims to enforce an arbitration award.

---

20. CLASS ACTION WAIVER

YOU AND CVC EACH AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDING TO RESOLVE A DISPUTE — WHETHER IN ARBITRATION, COURT, OR ANY OTHER FORUM — SHALL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT AS A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, MASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION AGAINST CVC.

THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO PRESIDE OVER A CLASS ARBITRATION, TO CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS OF MULTIPLE CLAIMANTS, OR TO AWARD RELIEF TO ANY PERSON OTHER THAN YOU INDIVIDUALLY.

IF ANY COURT OR ARBITRATOR DETERMINES THAT THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS UNENFORCEABLE WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM, THEN THIS ENTIRE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT SHALL BE NULL AND VOID WITH RESPECT TO THAT CLAIM, AND THAT CLAIM SHALL BE RESOLVED IN COURT PURSUANT TO SECTION 18.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE ABOVE, YOU AND CVC RETAIN THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS PARTIES IN PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT BY A GOVERNMENTAL OR REGULATORY AGENCY IN ITS OFFICIAL CAPACITY.

---

21. JURY TRIAL WAIVER

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND CVC EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, CLAIM, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE.

THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO ANY FUTURE LITIGATION THAT MAY ARISE BETWEEN YOU AND CVC, INCLUDING ANY CLAIMS THAT SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF THESE TERMS.

BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE REVIEWED THIS JURY TRIAL WAIVER, THAT YOU HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL, AND THAT THIS WAIVER IS MADE KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY.

---

22. LIMITATION ON TIME TO BRING CLAIMS

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH THE CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUED. Claims or causes of action not brought within this period are permanently barred, regardless of any statute of limitations to the contrary. The parties expressly agree that the limitations period set forth in this Section constitutes a contractual shortening of any otherwise applicable statute of limitations.

---

23. TERMINATION

23.1 Termination by User

You may terminate your account at any time by following the account cancellation procedures available through the Services or by contacting CVC at info@codeviolationcheck.com.

23.2 Termination by CVC

CVC reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account and access to the Services at any time:

Upon termination or expiration of your account: (a) all licenses granted to you under these Terms immediately cease; (b) you must immediately stop using the Services and delete any CVC data stored outside the Services interface to the extent not permitted under a valid data license; (c) any outstanding balances owed to CVC remain due; and (d) CVC may, but is not obligated to, retain or delete your account data in accordance with its Privacy Policy.

---

25. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be invalid, illegal, unenforceable, or in conflict with any law, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or, if modification is not possible, it shall be severed from these Terms. The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of the remaining provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect. The parties agree to substitute for any invalid provision a valid provision that most nearly approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision.

---

26. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These Terms, together with CVC's Privacy Policy and any Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) published by CVC, and any written data licensing agreement or order form executed by you and CVC, constitute the entire agreement between you and CVC with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties — whether written or oral — relating to the Services.

In the event of a direct conflict between these Terms and the terms of any separately executed written data licensing agreement, the separately executed written agreement shall control solely with respect to the subject matter addressed therein.

Any additional, supplemental, or conflicting terms submitted by you (including through purchase orders, RFP responses, or other procurement documents) are expressly rejected and shall have no legal effect unless separately agreed in a signed writing by an authorized CVC representative.

---

27. NO WAIVER

No failure or delay by CVC to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall constitute a waiver of that right or provision. No waiver by CVC of any breach by you shall be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach, whether of the same or a different nature. A waiver is effective only if made in writing and signed by an authorized CVC representative.

---

---

29. FORCE MAJEURE
