Website Terms of Use

These Website Terms of Use (these “Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Avōt, Inc. (“Avōt,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) that govern your access to and use of the Avōt website located at avotapp.com, together with any subdomains, pages, and content that link to these Terms (collectively, the “Website”). By accessing or using the Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not access or use the Website.

These Terms govern the Website only. They do not govern the Avōt SaaS platform (the “Platform”). Use of the Platform by an HOA is governed by the Master SaaS Agreement at https://avotapp.com/legal/msa and the applicable Order Form. Use of the Platform by an individual (for example, a resident, Board Member, Admin Board Member, or Property Manager) is governed by the Platform End User Terms at https://avotapp.com/legal/end-user-terms. Avōt’s collection and handling of personal information in connection with the Website and the Platform is described in the Avōt Privacy Policy at https://avotapp.com/legal/privacy (the “Privacy Policy”).

Scope and Welcome

The Website exists to describe the Avōt Platform and the services we provide to homeowner associations (“HOAs”), to let interested HOAs and their representatives request a demo or get in touch with us, and to host Avōt’s legal and policy documents. These Terms govern your use of the Website in that capacity. Information on the Website is general and informational in nature. It is not legal, governance, HOA, property-management, debt-collection, financial, or tax advice, and it does not describe the specific terms of any individual HOA’s subscription or relationship with Avōt.

If a conflict arises between these Terms and any commercial agreement Avōt has with you or your HOA (including the Master SaaS Agreement, an Order Form, or the Platform End User Terms), the commercial agreement controls with respect to its subject matter. These Terms control matters specific to the Website.

Intellectual Property

Ownership

The Website and all of its content — including text, images, photographs, illustrations, graphics, logos, icons, videos, audio, product names, branding, taglines, page layouts, user-interface designs, and underlying code — are owned by Avōt or its licensors and are protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark, trade-dress, and other intellectual-property laws. “Avōt”, the Avōt logo, and related product and brand names used on the Website are trademarks of Avōt. Other names, logos, and marks appearing on the Website are the property of their respective owners.

Limited License to Browse

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Avōt grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and view the Website for your personal or internal business purposes in evaluating Avōt’s services. This license is expressly conditioned on your continued compliance with these Terms and terminates automatically if you violate them.

Restrictions

You will not, and will not permit any other person to:

copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, transmit, display, perform, or create derivative works of the Website or any portion of its content, except as strictly necessary to view the Website in a standard web browser;

modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code or underlying structure of any part of the Website;

scrape, crawl, harvest, extract, index, or collect any content or data from the Website by automated means (including bots, spiders, and AI-driven collection tools), except for lawful indexing by public search engines in accordance with any robots exclusion standard we publish;

frame, mirror, or deep-link the Website or any portion of its content in a manner that obscures its source or Avōt’s branding;

remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices; or

use the Website or its content to develop, train, benchmark, fine-tune, or improve any artificial-intelligence or machine-learning model, product, or competing service.

IP Complaints

If you believe any content displayed on the Website infringes your copyright, trademark, or other intellectual-property rights, please send a written notice to Avōt at info@avotapp.com. Your notice should (a) identify the allegedly infringing content, including the URL or specific location on the Website where it appears; (b) describe the intellectual-property right you claim has been infringed and your relationship to the rights-holder (for example, owner, exclusive licensee, or authorized agent); (c) provide your name, address, telephone number, and email address; and (d) include a good-faith statement that you believe the use of the material is not authorized by the rights-holder, its agent, or the law. Avōt will review notices we receive and respond as we consider appropriate under the circumstances, which may include removing or disabling access to the identified content, contacting the party that submitted it, or declining to take action if Avōt determines the notice does not substantiate the claimed infringement. This Section describes Avōt's Website-level complaint process; separate procedures apply to content submitted through the Avōt Platform, as described in the Platform End User Terms and the Master SaaS Agreement.

Demo Requests and Contact Forms

Inquiries

The Website offers ways to request a demonstration of the Platform, request information about Avōt’s services, or otherwise contact us. Submitting a demo request, contact form, email address, or other information through the Website (an “Inquiry”) does not:

create any services, subscription, or commercial relationship between you, your HOA, and Avōt;

obligate Avōt to respond, to schedule a demonstration, to provide any service, or to enter into any agreement; or

create a professional or advisory relationship of any kind, including any attorney-client, fiduciary, property-management, governance-advisory, consulting, or tax-advisory relationship.

Any binding relationship between Avōt and an HOA is established only when Avōt and the HOA execute an Order Form incorporating the Master SaaS Agreement at https://avotapp.com/legal/msa. Any information submitted through an Inquiry is handled as described in the Privacy Policy. You represent that the contact and organizational information you submit through any Inquiry is accurate and that you have authority to submit it on behalf of any HOA or organization you identify.

No Confidential Submissions

Please do not submit confidential, proprietary, privileged, or highly sensitive information through general Website contact forms, demo-request forms, chat features, or similar channels, unless Avōt has specifically directed you to use a secure or designated channel for that purpose. Avōt is not responsible for reviewing, safeguarding, or acting on unsolicited confidential, proprietary, or privileged information submitted through the Website, and, absent a separate written agreement expressly providing otherwise, no duty of confidentiality, non-disclosure, or privilege attaches to any such submission.

Feedback

If you send Avōt any ideas, comments, suggestions, improvements, or other feedback about the Website, the Platform, or Avōt’s services (collectively, “Feedback”), you grant Avōt a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, create derivative works of, distribute, disclose, and otherwise exploit such Feedback for any purpose, without obligation or compensation to you. You represent that you have the right to provide the Feedback and that the Feedback is not confidential. Avōt is free to develop, use, and commercialize products, services, features, and improvements based on Feedback, and you will not assert any claim of ownership, infringement, or restriction against Avōt in connection with that use.

Prohibited Uses

You will not, and will not attempt to, do any of the following in connection with the Website:

use the Website in violation of applicable law, these Terms, or the rights of any other person;

access, probe, test, or attempt to circumvent any security, access-control, authentication, or rate-limiting mechanism, or otherwise interfere with the availability, security, or integrity of the Website;

transmit or introduce any virus, malware, ransomware, trojan, worm, time bomb, cancelbot, or other harmful or disruptive code;

engage in scraping, automated data collection, or other activity that imposes an unreasonable or disproportionate load on the Website’s infrastructure;

impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your identity, affiliation, role, or authority;

use the Website to gather competitive intelligence about Avōt for any competing product or service, including by submitting Inquiries under false pretenses;

use the Website to transmit unsolicited commercial communications, spam, or phishing content; or

engage in any conduct that, in Avōt’s reasonable judgment, could damage the Website, Avōt, other users, or Avōt’s reputation or legal standing.

Third-Party Links and Content

The Website may contain links to, or embedded content from, third-party websites, services, or resources that are not operated by Avōt. We provide those links and embedded resources as a convenience. Avōt does not control, and is not responsible for, any third-party site, service, resource, or content. The inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation. Your use of any third-party site, service, or resource is governed by the terms and policies of that third party. We recommend that you review those terms and policies.

Disclaimer; No Advice

The Website and all content on the Website are provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE”. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Avōt disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, currency, and any warranties arising from course of dealing, course of performance, or usage of trade. Avōt does not warrant that the Website will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components, or that any defect will be corrected.

Content on the Website is general and informational. It is not legal, governance, HOA, property-management, tax, debt-collection, or financial advice, and you should not rely on it as such. Marketing statements on the Website — including statistics, aspirational framing about enforcement outcomes, dispute reduction, or liability risk, and any forward-looking statements about what the Platform can or may do — are estimates and descriptions of goals and potential outcomes, not guarantees, warranties, or representations about any specific HOA’s experience. Actual outcomes depend on many factors outside of Avōt’s control, including an HOA’s governing documents, applicable law, the facts of each situation, and the judgment and actions of the HOA’s Board.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Avōt and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, licensors, and agents will not be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, use, goodwill, or reputational harm, arising out of or relating to the Website or these Terms, even if Avōt has been advised of the possibility of those damages, and regardless of whether the claim is based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, warranty, statute, or any other legal theory.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Avōt’s aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the Website or these Terms will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100). Nothing in these Terms limits Avōt’s liability to the extent that limitation is prohibited by applicable law.

The limitations in this Section are independent of, and do not modify, the limitations in the Master SaaS Agreement (governing HOA Customer relationships) or the Platform End User Terms (governing individual Platform users). If the limitations in those agreements conflict with the limitations in this Section with respect to their subject matter, those agreements control.

Website Availability and Suspension

Avōt may change, update, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Website at any time, with or without notice. Avōt does not guarantee that the Website, or any content on the Website, will always be available, complete, current, or error-free.

Avōt may use third-party service providers, hosting providers, content-delivery networks, analytics providers, and similar vendors to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Website. Those providers may process information as described in the Privacy Policy.

Avōt may restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to the Website at any time, with or without notice, if Avōt reasonably believes that (a) you have violated or are likely to violate these Terms, (b) your use of the Website presents a security, legal, or operational risk to Avōt, the Website, or others, or (c) suspension or termination is otherwise necessary or appropriate to protect the Website, Avōt, or third parties. Avōt’s exercise of these rights is not a waiver of any other right or remedy available to Avōt under these Terms or at law.

Governing Law and Venue

These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Website, are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Mississippi, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles and without regard to the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. You and Avōt irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Mississippi for any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Website, and you waive any objection to that jurisdiction and venue, including any claim of inconvenient forum.

Jury Trial Waiver.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of you and Avōt irrevocably waives any and all right to a trial by jury in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Website.

Miscellaneous

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable, or if modification is not possible, severed from these Terms. In either case, the remaining provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect.

Survival

Any provision of these Terms that by its nature is intended to survive termination or expiration will survive, including the provisions governing intellectual property, Inquiries, Feedback, prohibited uses, disclaimers, limitation of liability, governing law and venue, jury trial waiver, and this Section.

No Waiver

No failure or delay by Avōt in exercising any right or remedy under these Terms will operate as a waiver of that right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy will preclude any other or further exercise of that right or remedy or of any other right or remedy. A waiver will be effective only if made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Avōt.

Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, or delegate these Terms or any of your rights or obligations under these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Avōt’s prior written consent. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section is null and void. Avōt may assign, transfer, or delegate these Terms, in whole or in part, without your consent and without notice, including to any affiliate or to any successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of Avōt's assets. These Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other documents expressly referenced in these Terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and Avōt regarding your use of the Website, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, understandings, or agreements, whether oral or written, regarding that subject matter. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section does not modify or supersede the Master SaaS Agreement, any Order Form, or the Platform End User Terms, each of which remains in effect with respect to its own subject matter.

Headings and Interpretation

Section headings in these Terms are for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of these Terms. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” are not limiting. References to “Sections” are to sections of these Terms unless otherwise stated.

Updates to These Terms

Avōt may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated Terms at https://avotapp.com/terms-and-conditions and update the “Effective Date” at the top. Material changes will be identified as such. The updated Terms take effect on the date stated. Your continued access to or use of the Website after that date constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. The updated Terms will govern your use of the Website prospectively and will not retroactively apply to any claims or disputes that arose before the effective date. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, please stop using the Website.
