Terms and Conditions

The iBoard Living Platform is a digital rental management platform that makes all the renters, property owners and home providers meet all together in one platform for the convenience of the users. It allows registered users (“iRenters”) and third parties “Property Managers” or “Property Owners” (“iManage”) (who offers their properties available for rent or lease by the users) and “Service Providers” (“iServe”) (who offers their home services to the iRenters) to publish their available Properties and Home Services (“Listings”) on the iBoard Living Platform and to contact and transact directly with Members that are looking to book such Properties or Services.

The User may choose the form of payment (which you will be notified upon booking request). The Platform will issue an electronic Billing Statement to the email address provided by the User.

For a variety of reasons, payment on our Platform may fail. In such cases, iBoard Living will use all reasonable efforts to offer you alternatives (where available) to ensure your booking can go ahead or offer you a refund in accordance with our Refund Policy.

The User may refer to the Rental Agreement for further details on the payment.

With Company

A. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and all aspects of the Platforms and Company Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Philippines, without regard to conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to informal dispute resolution or arbitration (as set forth below), you agree not to commence or prosecute any action in connection therewith other than in Tacloban City, Philippines, and you hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to, venue and jurisdiction in such courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is excluded from this Agreement. Additionally, application of the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) is excluded from this Agreement. In no event shall any claim, action or proceeding by you related in any way to the Platforms or Company Services be instituted more than two (2) years after the cause of action arose.

B. Informal Resolution. To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to this Agreement ("Dispute"), you and Company agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least sixty (60) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one person to the other.

C. Binding Arbitration. If the parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, either you or Company may elect to have the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the Philippine Institute of Arbiters ("PIArb") and, where appropriate, the PIArb’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the AAA websiteswww.adr.org. The determination of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, Company will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in Taguig City Philippines. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and Company may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

D. Restrictions. You and Company agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between Company and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (3) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

E. Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration. You and Company agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of any of your or Company’s intellectual property rights; (2) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (3) any claim for injunctive relief. If this Section is found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither you nor Company will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this Section found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and you and Company agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
