1. Licensee responsibilities

1.1 The Licensee is solely responsible for the content of its advertising campaigns, including all Listing Content, price and auction information and agency branding, and Blend reserves the right to refuse to facilitate publication of any advertising campaign (without accepting any responsibility for facilitating any publication).

1.2 The Licensee warrants that it holds, or has been licensed, all rights necessary to use and publish the Listing Content in advertising, including rights in photographs, floor plans and video supplied by photographers or other third parties, and consent from any agent or individual whose name or likeness appears in an advertisement.

1.3 The Licensee is responsible for ensuring that every advertisement complies with the laws and industry codes that govern real estate practice and real estate advertising in the relevant jurisdiction, including rules on price representations, and with each advertising platform's policies. The Licensee must review advertisements before they are published where the Software provides an approval step, and must promptly pause or update any campaign for a property that is sold, leased, withdrawn or re-priced.

1.4 The Licensee is fully responsible for the success of its advertising campaigns and Blend makes no representations, guarantees or warranties as to any increased success of an advertising campaign as a result of using the Software.

1.5 To the extent permitted by law, Blend excludes all liability in connection with the Licensee's advertising campaigns.

2. Authorisation to publish advertisements

2.1 The Licensee authorises Blend to create and publish advertisements on its behalf, and on behalf of any Vendor it represents, to the Third Party Services available in the Software, using the Licensee's agency branding.

3. Ad spend and Fees

3.1 The Ad Spend Amount is payable in addition to the Fees. Unless Blend agrees otherwise in writing, advertisements run in an advertising account held by the Licensee and the Licensee is liable for any and all Ad Spend Amounts to each Third Party Service directly, whether the budget is funded by the Licensee or by a Vendor.

3.2 The Subscription Fee accrues from the Acceptance Date and continues for each subsequent Billing Period until these Terms are terminated.

Ad Spend Amount

3.3 Advertising channels allow the Licensee to set a budget for a campaign, which can be changed by the Licensee at any time. A daily budget is an average estimate and is subject to fluctuation.

3.4 A campaign may also include a total or monthly spending limit, which is the maximum amount the Licensee can pay for that campaign over its duration or over a month. The monthly spending limit is calculated with reference to the average daily budget.

3.5 The Licensee acknowledges and agrees that:

the Ad Spend Amount is calculated and charged by the Third Party Services, not by Blend, and Blend is not responsible for its calculation;
the Ad Spend Amount will fluctuate depending on the budgets, listings and options that the Licensee selects while using the Software. On some occasions where advertisements are predicted to give the Licensee more reach, the average daily budget may be exceeded;
a Third Party Service's billing cycle may not line up with the Billing Period, so Blend cannot guarantee that the Ad Spend Amount will not exceed any budget, including the monthly spending limit, for any advertising channel; and
where a Vendor funds a campaign budget, the arrangement between the Licensee and the Vendor, including any vendor paid advertising agreement, is solely a matter between the Licensee and the Vendor. Blend is not a party to it and makes no representation to the Vendor.

4. Trials and demonstrations

4.1 Blend may offer the Licensee a trial, pilot or demonstration of the Software for a period and on conditions it notifies to the Licensee (Trial Period). In addition to the Terms set out above, you agree to be bound by this clause and that in the event of a conflict or inconsistency, this clause will apply.

4.2 During a Trial Period, both of us will determine if the Software is suitable for the Licensee. The Licensee may not be able to use all features of the Software, Blend may reasonably request further information from the Licensee to assess its suitability, and the Subscription Fee will not be charged unless Blend has told the Licensee otherwise in writing.

4.3 Blend may modify, shorten or end a Trial Period at any time in its sole discretion, and if the Licensee fails to provide any information reasonably requested during a Trial Period, Blend may suspend or disable all or part of the Services or terminate these Terms immediately with notice to you.

Schedule 2 - Beta features

Blend may look for beta testers to help test new features for the Software. These features will be described as "alpha", "beta" or "pre-release" features (or similar) (Beta Services).

Beta Services may contain bugs, security flaws or other issues and they are made available on an "as is" basis.

If you choose to use Beta Services, the Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Blend won't be responsible to the Licensee for any cost, loss, damages or expenses arising out of the Licensee using Beta Services.

You also agree that any contractual commitments we make for our other Services will not apply to our Beta Services.

Beta Services may be amended, revoked, or terminated at any time, at Blend's sole discretion.
