Liability Caps

If, despite the foregoing limitations, Leaseora is found liable for damages:

  • Our total liability to you for all claims arising from or related to the platform shall not exceed the amount paid by you to Leaseora for the preceding 12 months
  • If you have not paid Leaseora any amounts in the preceding 12 months, our maximum liability shall be limited to one hundred euros (€100)

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the above limitations and disclaimers may not apply to you. To the extent any provision is found unenforceable, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, unless modification is not possible, in which case the provision shall be severed, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Leaseora, its affiliates, licensors, and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:

  • Your violation of these Terms of Service
  • Your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property right or privacy right
  • Your use of the platform in a way that could cause legal liability for Leaseora
  • Any content you upload, post, transmit, or otherwise make available through the platform
  • Any misrepresentation made by you
  • Your negligence or willful misconduct

Cooperation: If Leaseora is subject to a claim covered by this indemnification provision, Leaseora may, at its option, require you to assume the defense of such claim, or Leaseora may control the defense while keeping you reasonably informed. In either case, you agree to cooperate with the defense of such claim and to not settle any such claim without Leaseora's prior written consent.

Force Majeure

Events Beyond Our Control

Leaseora shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations under these Terms if such failure results from:

  • Acts of God, natural disasters, or extreme weather conditions
  • Pandemics, epidemics, or public health emergencies
  • Terrorist actions, civil unrest, riots, war, or military operations
  • Government actions, changes in laws, or regulatory requirements
  • Labor disputes, strikes, or other workforce disruptions
  • Major infrastructure failures, including internet outages or telecommunications failures
  • Cyberattacks, hacking attempts, or security breaches by third parties
  • Any other circumstances beyond our reasonable control

We will make reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as possible after the resolution of such events.

Regional Variations

Depending on your location, some of the disclaimers, limitations, or exclusions in this section may not apply to you. In particular:

European Union Users

If you are a consumer in the European Union, you retain all your statutory consumer rights, and nothing in these Terms limits your statutory rights that cannot be waived by contract. Limitations of liability in these Terms do not apply to your statutory rights under EU consumer protection laws.

United States Users

Some states do not allow disclaimers of implied warranties or limitations on how long an implied warranty may last, so the above limitations may not fully apply to you. You may have rights that vary from state to state.

Region-Specific Provisions

Certain legal rights regarding warranties or limitations of liability cannot be waived or limited by contract in some jurisdictions. If these laws apply to you, some or all of the above disclaimers, exclusions, or limitations may not apply, and you might have additional rights.

Questions About Disclaimers or Liability?

If you have questions about our disclaimers, limitations of liability, or how they might apply to your specific situation, our legal team is available to provide clarification.

Contact our legal department at legal@leaseora.com with any inquiries. Please note that while we can explain our terms, we cannot provide legal advice about your specific circumstances.

Termination

Understanding Account Termination

This section outlines the circumstances and procedures related to the termination of your Leaseora account and services. Whether you choose to end your relationship with Leaseora or we need to terminate your account for policy violations, it's important to understand the process, consequences, and your rights and obligations following termination. Clarity around termination policies helps ensure a smooth transition when services end and protects the interests of all parties involved.

Account Termination by Users

Voluntary Account Closure

You may close your Leaseora account at any time by following these steps:

  1. Navigate to the Account Settings page in your Leaseora dashboard
  2. Select the "Close Account" option at the bottom of the page
  3. Complete the account closure confirmation process
  4. Receive confirmation email once the closure is processed
Before Closing Your Account
  • Complete any pending transactions or property transfers
  • Download or export any data you wish to retain
  • Ensure all financial obligations have been fulfilled
  • Notify relevant parties (tenants, partners) as appropriate
Special Considerations
  • Active leases require special handling before closure
  • Enterprise accounts may have different termination procedures
  • Subscription auto-renewals should be manually canceled
  • Legal records may need to be preserved per regulations

Account closure is generally processed within 30 days of your request. During this period, you may reactivate your account by logging in and following the reactivation prompts.

Subscription Cancellation

Canceling your subscription differs from closing your account:

  • You can cancel your subscription while keeping your account active
  • Subscription cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period
  • After cancellation, your account will revert to the free tier with limited features
  • Your data will remain accessible but with restricted functionality
  • You can reactivate your subscription at any time

To cancel only your subscription, go to "Billing & Subscriptions" in your account settings rather than using the account closure process.

Account Termination by Leaseora

Important Notice: Leaseora reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time for violations of our Terms of Service or for any other reason as outlined below.

Platform Changes: In rare cases, Leaseora may also terminate accounts due to significant platform changes, discontinuation of services, or business restructuring. In such cases, we will provide advance notice and, where appropriate, offer migration options or alternatives.

Termination Process

When Leaseora initiates account termination:

Legal Framework for Using Leaseora

This section outlines the legal framework that governs your use of the Leaseora platform, including which laws apply, how disputes will be resolved, and jurisdictional considerations. Understanding the governing law provisions is essential for both parties as it establishes clear expectations about legal rights and responsibilities. Given our global user base, we've designed these provisions to provide clarity while respecting regional legal differences.
