This is the only method a Landlord may use to create accounts for members of the Landlord’s organization.

(a) Fiat Rent Payment Service. The Services may include a functionality that enables Renters to pay to Landlords, and allows Landlord’s to receive, Rental Dues owed under their Tenancy Agreements in the fiat currencies supported by the Services from time to time (the “ Fiat Rent Payment Service”).

4.10. Pay Rent with Cryptocurrency.
(a) Cryptocurrency Rent Payment Service. From time to time, Liv Strategies may provide Renters and Landlords with access to a service that allows Renters to pay, and Landlords to receive, Rental Dues owed under Tenancy Agreements in such cryptocurrencies as may be supported by the Services from time to time (that service, the “ Cryptocurrency Rent Payment Service”). Liv Strategies may cease providing the Cryptocurrency Rent Payment Services at any time and for any or no reason. The types of cryptocurrencies supported by the Cryptocurrency Rent Payment Service is at the sole discretion of Liv Strategies. Liv Strategies may discontinue support for any cryptocurrency at any time.
(b) Exchange Rates and Quotes. The Cryptocurrency Rent Payment Service is not a pre-authorized payment service that will make automatic withdrawals from a Renters cryptocurrency wallet. Instead, each time a Renter wishes to use the Cryptocurrency Rent Payment Service, they must select the option to pay Rental Dues in cryptocurrency as may be available from time to time on the rent payment page of the Services. Once that payment request is processed by the Services, the Services will generate a quote (each a “ Quote”) setting out the fiat-to-cryptocurrency exchange rate to be used for the cryptocurrency Rental Dues payment, the amount in cryptocurrency that must be paid by the Renter to satisfy their Rental Dues payment obligation, the applicable service fee, the expiry date and time for the Quote, and the wallet address to which the Renter must transfer the quoted cryptocurrency amount. The wallet address may be represented as QR code. Once the Quote is generated, the Quote will be issued to the applicable Renter. The wallet address referred to in a Quote will belong to Liv Strategies and not to the Landlord. The exchange rate and price quoted in the Quote remains valid only until the expiry date stated in the Quote, following which the Quote is void and a new Quote must be requested by the Renter and generated by the Service in order to complete the cryptocurrency Rental Dues payment. Liv Strategies has sole and arbitrary discretion to determine the fiat-to-cryptocurrency (and vice versa) exchange rate for Rental Dues payments made in cryptocurrency through the Services.
(c) Satisfaction of Quote and Settlement.
(i) A Quote that has been issued to a Renter will be deemed “satisfied” by Liv Strategies if Liv Strategies has received the Renter’s payment of the Quote in full and the Renter’s transfer of the cryptocurrency to the wallet address described in the Quote has met the number of block confirmations required by Liv Strategies prior to the expiry date set out in the Quote. Liv Strategies has sole discretion to determine the number of block confirmations required for any given transaction. Liv Strategies has no obligation to settle Rental Dues payments that relate to Quotes that have not been deemed satisfied by Liv Strategies.
(ii) Once a Quote is deemed satisfied by Liv Strategies, Liv Strategies will credit the Landlord’s Account with the Rental Dues payment, less the service and processing fee, converted into fiat using the exchange rate set out in the Quote. This credited amount will temporarily be held by Liv Strategies until the settlement of the Rental Dues payment in fiat to the Landlord’s bank account is completed, at which time the Landlord’s account will be debited by the same amount.
(iii) For the purposes of transferring the fiat-equivalent of the Renter’s cryptocurrency Rental Dues payment to the Renter’s Landlord, Liv Strategies will use the same exchange rate that was used when Liv Strategies provided the Renter with the Quote. Liv Strategies has no responsibility or liability to Renters or Landlords for any Rental Dues payment arrears, or other disputes, claims, or Losses related to Rental Dues payments under Tenancy Agreements, even if the Rental Dues payment arrears, dispute, claim, or Loss relates to use of the Cryptocurrency Rent Payment Service. Liv Strategies has no positive obligation to collect Rental Dues on behalf of Landlords. You acknowledge that Liv Strategies’ settlement to the Landlord of collected Rental Dues might occur on a date later than the payment due date under the applicable Tenancy Agreement and you agree that Liv Strategies is not liable to you for any such delayed settlement of Rental Dues.
(d) Corrections.Any prices, amounts, quantities, or exchange rates stated by Liv Strategies in a Quote will be valid only for the period stated in the Quote, except that Liv Strategies may reject any Rental Dues payment or cancel any Quote for any reason (even after payment has been made), including for typographical errors, illustrative errors, or a misprint in the price statement or exchange rate. In the event of a pricing or exchange rate mistake or any other mistake in a Quote, Liv Strategies will not be bound by the incorrect price or exchange rate or other mistake. Amounts paid by you in connection with a cancelled Quote (a “ Cancelled Payment”) will be refunded to you as described in Section 4.10(j) ( Permitted Refunds).
(e) Service Fee. Liv Strategies may charge a service fee for use of the Cryptocurrency Rent Payment Service. Fees can be found at https://liv.rent/faq as updated by from time to time.The service fee will be added to price in the Quote and will be deducted from the amount paid by the Renter before Liv Strategies settles the applicable payment of Rental Dues to the Landlord. Liv Strategies may update its fees by posting the new fee on the Services. The service fee is non-refundable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the service fee will not be refunded under Section 4.10(j)( Permitted Refunds).
(f) Underpayment. If a Renter transfers Liv Strategies less than the full amount of cryptocurrency required under a Quote, the Quote will not be deemed satisfied and Liv Strategies will not settle the Renter’s Rental Dues payment to their Landlord until the required amount has been received by Liv Strategies in full. If such an underpayment occurs, Liv Strategies will contact the Renter with a request for a supplementary payment in the amount necessary to satisfy the outstanding balance of the Rental Dues payment obligation. If the Quote to which the Rental Dues payment relates has expired, Liv Strategies will issue the renter a new Quote for the supplementary amount. Once Liv Strategies has received the required amount from the Renter, the applicable Quote will be deemed satisfied (so long as all other conditions for satisfaction have been met).
(g) Overpayment.If a Renter transfers Liv Strategies more than the full amount of cryptocurrency required under a Quote, the Quote will be deemed satisfied (so long as all other conditions for satisfaction have been met), and the excess cryptocurrency (the “ Excess Cryptocurrency”) will be converted to fiat using the same exchange rate as contained in the Quote to which the overpayment relates and then transferred to the Landlord concurrently with the settlement of the Rental Dues that were paid in connection with that Quote. Any matters relating to a refund of Excess Cryptocurrency are solely between the applicable Renter and Landlord. Liv Strategies has no responsibility or liability for refunding Excess Cryptocurrency to any Renter who has overpaid a Quote. If you are a Renter, you agree it is your sole responsibility to ensure your payments of Quotes are accurate.
(h) Invalid Payments.A cryptocurrency payment received by Liv Strategies will be deemed an “ Invalid Payment” if it was received by Liv Strategies after the expiry date set out in the Quote to which the payment relates or if the payment does not relate to a Quote. To reclaim an Invalid Payment, you must send a request to support@liv.rent and provide Liv Strategies with all information we may require. Liv Strategies will not return an Invalid Payment unless Liv Strategies is satisfied that the Person making the request was in fact the sender of the payment.
(i) Refunds. Except as provided in Section 4.10(j)( Permitted Refunds), cryptocurrency payments that relate to a Quote that has been deemed satisfied are non-refundable by Liv Strategies. Once a Quote has been deemed satisfied by Liv Strategies, any matters relating to a refund of a Rental Dues payment are solely between the applicable Renter and Landlord and is not the responsibility of Liv Strategies.
(j) Permitted Refunds.If Liv Strategies has received all the information it requires to refund a Cancelled Payment or an Invalid Payment (each as applicable, the “ Refundable Crypto”), Liv Strategies will refund the Refundable Crypto to the Renter in the same type of cryptocurrency used by the Renter to make the Rental Dues payment, subject to the following:
(i) if, at the time of the refund, the value of the Refundable Crypto in Canadian dollars is less than its value was on the date it was transferred by the Renter to Liv Strategies, then then Liv Strategies will refund to the Renter all of Refundable Crypto. The Renter acknowledges that this may result in a loss of value for the Renter.
As an example, and for the purposes of illustration only, in the event of a refund under this Section 4.10(j)( i) , if:
· there were a 1 BTC Cancelled Payment;
· the exchange rate stated in the Quote were 1 BTC = $40,000; and
· the price of 1 BTC at the time of the refund were $35,000
then Liv Strategies would refund the Renter 1 BTC (being the exact amount of the Refundable Crypto).
(ii) if, at the time of the refund, the value of the Refundable Crypto in Canadian dollars is greater than its value was on the date it was transferred by the Renter to Live Strategies, then Liv Strategies will refund to the Renter the portion of the Refundable Crypto that has a value that equals (at the time of the refund and expressed in Canadian dollars) the value that the full quantity of Refundable Crypto had at the time it was transferred by the Renter to Liv Strategies (as determined with reference to the exchange rate stated in the Quote). Under this section, Liv Strategies will determine the quantity of cryptocurrency to refund by calculating the Canadian dollar value of the Refundable Crypto on the date it was paid to Liv Strategies by using the exchange rate stated in the Quote to which the Refundable Crypto relates, and then converting that Canadian dollar amount back into the same type of cryptocurrency using the then-current exchange rate selected by Liv Strategies at the time of the refund. Any excess Refundable Crypto remaining after the refund has been processed will become the property of Liv Strategies.
As an example and for the purposes of illustration only, in the event of a refund under this Section 4.10(j)(ii), if:
· there were a 1 BTC Cancelled Payment;
· the exchange rate stated in the Quote were 1 BTC = $40,000 CAD; and
· and the exchange rate at the time of the refund were 1 BTC = $45,000 CAD,
then Liv Strategies would refund the Renter 0.88888~ BTC because if the exchange rate on the date of the refund is 1 BTC = $45,000, then $40,000 (the value of the Cancelled Payment on the date it was paid) would be equal in value to 0.88888~ BTC.
(iii) Liv Strategies will make the determinations and calculations in paragraphs 4.10(j)( i) and (ii) with reference to the exchange rate stated in the Quote to which the Refundable Crypto relates and the exchange rate (as determined by Liv Strategies) for the relevant cryptocurrency at the time the refund is processed.
(iv) Notwithstanding Paragraphs 4.10(j)( i) to (iii), if the refund in question relates to an Invalid Payment, references in Paragraphs 4.10(j)( i) to (iii)to the “exchange rate stated in the Quote” (and other similar phrases) will be deemed to mean “the exchange rate at the time the transfer was made by the Renter to Liv Strategies as determined by Liv Strategies in its sole discretion” and Paragraphs 4.10(j)( i) to (iii)will be so interpreted together with any necessary conforming changes.
(k) Volatility and Market Conditions.Landlords assume all of the volatility risk of their settlement currency and Renters assume all of the volatility risk of their payment cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency markets are volatile and speculative, and the exchange rate used by the Cryptocurrency Rent Payment Service may change suddenly and drastically without warning. Liv Strategies is not obligated to inform you of any changes in market conditions.
(l) No Responsibility for Lost or Irretrievable Cryptocurrency.
(i) When you pay Rental Dues using the Cryptocurrency Rent Payment Service, you will be provided with a Quote that includes the wallet address to which you must deliver your cryptocurrency to make your Rental Dues payment. You are solely responsible for ensuring that you have sent your cryptocurrency to the correct wallet address. Liv Strategies has no responsibility or liability for Losses you or any other Person may suffer as a result of or arising out of you sending cryptocurrency to an incorrect wallet address. You remain responsible for paying any Rental Dues owed that remain unpaid as a result of or arising out of you sending cryptocurrency to an incorrect wallet address. You acknowledge that cryptocurrency transactions can be irreversible and that cryptocurrency sent to an incorrect wallet address might not be recoverable.
(ii) Liv Strategies has no liability to you or to any other Person for any Losses you or any other Person incur as a result of any fraudulent, incorrect, or incomplete information you provide us. For example, if you provide Liv Strategies with incorrect wallet address information, Liv Strategies will have no liability to you for any cryptocurrency sent to that incorrect wallet address
(m) Unclaimed Property.If Liv Strategies is unable to contact you and your current location is unknown, or if Liv Strategies is unable to verify that you are the rightful claimant of cryptocurrency that has been transferred to Liv Strategies but not settled to a Landlord, your cryptocurrency payment (including Excess Cryptocurrency, underpayment, Cancelled Payment or Invali0d Payment) could become unclaimed property under the Unclaimed Property Act (British Columbia) or other applicable Laws. In such an event, Liv Strategies will be required to deal with such unclaimed property in accordance with applicable Law, which might involve reporting your Account and cryptocurrency as unclaimed property and delivering the unclaimed property to the applicable authorities. In certain circumstances provided by applicable Law, Liv Strategies may become the owner of the unclaimed property. Liv Strategies may charge an administrative fee for holding unclaimed property and may deduct the charged amount from the unclaimed property

Your letter must include your full name, current address, phone number, email address, and liv.rentaccount name.
(n) Settlement Delays. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, Liv Strategies may delay settlement of Rental Dues payments to Landlords and may refuse to refund amounts to Renters if:
(i) Liv Strategies determines that doing so:

(2) would likely assist with an investigation by Liv Strategies or any governmental authority;

You are responsible for confirming the legal status of cryptocurrencies in your jurisdiction before making any payments in cryptocurrency and afterwards on an ongoing basis.
(q) Digital Asset Protocols. Liv Strategies has no control over the technologies or protocols underlying the cryptocurrencies supported by the Services. These technologies and protocols change from time to time and such changes may affect the value, functionalities, use, or characteristics of your cryptocurrency. Changes to these technologies and protocols might render your cryptocurrencies incompatible with the Services.
(r) Tax. Making or receiving payments in cryptocurrency may result in taxes being owed by you. Calculation of these taxes can be complicated. You are solely responsible for calculating, reporting, and paying all applicable taxes, and any other duties or charges of any kind imposed by any governmental authority, as a result of your payment or receipt of cryptocurrency Rental Dues payments.
(s) Bank Account. Landlords who wish to receive payments from Renters using the Cryptocurrency Rent Payment Service must provide Liv Strategies with such banking information as Liv Strategies may request in order to make deposits to the Landlord’s bank account.

Liv Strategies has no obligation to make any other collections efforts with respect to Rental Dues that may be owed by Renters. Liv Strategies has no obligation to remind Renters or Landlords of payment due dates under their Tenancy Agreements.
(c) Rental Dues Owed. Rental Dues owed under Tenancy Agreements are determined solely by the Renter and the Landlord who are the parties to the applicable Tenancy Agreement. Liv Strategies has no control over the Rental Dues that may be owed under a Tenancy Agreement and is not responsible for resolving disputes in respect of any payments made or required under Tenancy Agreements. All disputes regarding payments or non-payment under Tenancy Agreements are solely between the Renter and Landlord who are parties to the applicable Tenancy Agreement. IN NO EVENT IS LIV STRATEGIES RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR THE PAYMENT OF RENTAL DUES TO LANDLORDS.
(d) Payment Limits.Liv Strategies may impose limits on the maximum or minimum amounts you may pay or receive, and the frequency of payments you may make or receive, through the Rent Payment Services.
(e) No Refunds, Cancellations, or Charge Backs. Except as provided in Section 4.10(j)( Permitted Refunds), Liv Strategies is not obligated to refund any payment you make through the Rent Payment Services.

If any payment you make is cancelled or charged back, you will not be entitled to refund of any services fees or processing fees that were charged in connection with your payment.
(f) Suspension of Services.If you fail to pay any service fees owed in connection with your use of the Rent Payment Services, Liv Strategies may suspend your ability to use the Rent Payment Services until you have paid all outstanding amounts owed to Liv Strategies and brought your account with Liv Strategies into good standing. Liv Strategies will have no liability to any Person for any Losses incurred that are related to or arise out of Liv Strategies’ suspending your access to the Rent Payment Services.
4.12. User Verification & Renter Screening.
(a) User Verification.Any reference to a User being “verified” (or similar language) is not an endorsement, certification, or guarantee by Liv Strategies in respect of that User, nor is it a confirmation of a User identity, background, trustworthiness, or suitability as a tenant or otherwise. A reference to a User being “verified” (or similar language) only indicates that the User has completed their Liv Profile with the requested verification and identification information and that their biographical information contained in their Liv Profile matches the copy of the government issued identification they submitted to the Services as part of the User verification process. The information and government issued identification submitted by Users as part of the verification process has not been, and will not be, independently investigated or verified as accurate, authentic, or valid by Liv Strategies. When you submit a copy of your government issued identification to the Services, you authorize Liv Strategies to use that identification to confirm that your biographical information contained in your Liv Profile matches that of your government issued identification. We shall not use the copy of your government issued identification for any other purpose and we shall delete it as soon as our collection of it has served its purpose.
(b) Trust Score. Our proprietary tenant score, the “ Trust Score”, will be generated on an ongoing basis for each Renter as they add information to their profile. Each Renter’s Trust Score is derived from a number of different weighted data points, including: ( i) information contained in the Renter’s credit report (including their credit score) (“ Credit Report”), as provided to Liv Strategies by a third-party credit reporting agency; (ii) the Renter’s financial circumstances; (iii) the Renter’s employment history; and (iv) any other information requested by Liv Strategies for the purposes of generating the Renter’s Trust Score. Once a Renter’s Trust Score has been generated, it will be disclosed to those Landlords who are the recipients of the Renter’s rental applications. Landlord’s shall not use the Trust Score for any purpose other than for the purpose of evaluating whether to lease a Rental Property to a Renter.
(c) Obtaining a Trust Score.To obtain a Trust Score, Liv Strategies must receive a Credit Report. To acquire this Credit Report, the Renter’s information must be submitted through a form provided on the Services. This information may include the Renter’s social insurance number/social security number, credit card number, or driver’s license number (“Credit Request Information”). Once submitted, the Credit Request Information will be transferred to Amazon Web Services, where it will be encrypted and then transferred to the credit agency for processing. Amazon Web Services subsequently receives the Credit Report from the credit reporting agency and transfers the Credit Report to the Services. Once the Credit Report is received by the Services, the Services will process the Credit Report (including the credit score) solely for the purposes of generating a Trust Score. After the Trust Score has been generated, the Services will destroy Liv Strategies’ copy of the Credit Report and any information extracted from it, except for the Trust Score itself. A Landlord must have written consent from the Renter before they can order a Trust Score. If you are a Renter and you choose to use our tenant screening service, you authorize us to obtain your Credit Report and to use it to generate your Trust Score. It is acknowledged that requesting a Credit Report could affect the credit score of the Renter whose information was used. Liv Strategies has no liability for any change to the credit score as a result of the generation of a Trust Score. Liv Strategies does not disclose the Credit Report to Landlords or any other Person, but the Trust Score, which is derived (in part) from the Credit Report, will be disclosed to those Landlords who are the recipients of rental applications. THE APPLICABLE CREDIT AGENCY IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL CREDIT REPORTS, INCLUDING THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS OR RELIABILITY THEREOF.
(d) Disclaimer re Trust Score. Liv Strategies makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees regarding the predictive value or usefulness of the Trust Score for determining the suitability of a Renter as a tenant or for any other purpose. Each Landlord must use their own professional judgment when reviewing and accepting rental applications and screening potential tenants. A Renter’s Trust Score is not an endorsement of that Renter, it is simply a grade assigned to that Renter based on the processing of a number of weighted data points. Landlords acknowledge that the Trust Score could be distorted by inaccurate information submitted by the Renter or credit agency. You acknowledge that the data used for generating the Trust Score is gathered from third-party sources which may be incomplete or inaccurate. Liv Strategies has no responsibility for checking or ensuring the accuracy of any information used to generate the Trust Score. Liv Strategies has no control over how a Landlord will use Trust Score when assessing rental applications. Obtaining a Trust Score does not guarantee that your rental application will be accepted. A high Trust Score does not guarantee that a Renter will be a suitable tenant. All renting decisions are within the sole discretion of the applicable Landlord, and Liv Strategies has no control over the decisions of any Landlord, including any decisions regarding prospective Renters. Landlords should screen prospective Renters through their own due diligence processes in addition to the use of the Services when deciding whether to rent to and contract with prospective Renters.
(e) Court Record Checks. When a Renter makes a request to verify their Liv Profile, Liv Strategies will check to confirm if the Renter has any civil court records in the jurisdiction of the Renter (as determined with reference to the Renter’s address on file with Liv Strategies). If the Renter has any civil court records in that jurisdiction, we will flag the existence of the records on the Renters Account and disclose their existence to each Landlord to whom the Renter submits a Rental application. Liv Strategies will not view the details of any such record and will not disclose any details of the records to any Landlord. Liv Strategies does not represent, warrant, or guarantee that its Renter verification service will accurately or completely identify all civil record belonging to any Renter.
(f) No Other Screening of Renters.Except for the generation of the Trust Score, Liv Strategies does not screen or conduct background checks on Renters.
4.13. Listing Verification.As part of the Services, Liv Strategies may provide a Listing verification service. To obtain verification of a Listing by Liv Strategies, a Landlord must provide Liv Strategies with such information and documentation as may be requested by Liv Strategies (which may, for the purposes of illustration, consist of a utility bill and property tax statement) and must otherwise satisfy Liv Strategies’ verification criteria. If a Listing satisfies Liv Strategies’ verification criteria, Liv Strategies will include a mark, symbol, or other indication confirming that the Listing has been verified by Liv Strategies. Without limiting the foregoing, verification of a Listing does not guarantee that the Listing is legitimate, that the Rental Property referred to in the Listing is owned or managed by the Landlord who created the Listing, or that that the contents of the Listing are accurate; verification of a Listing simply means that the Listing has met Liv Strategies verification criteria. We encourage Renters to conduct their own independent due diligence on Listings and Landlords before entering into any Tenancy Agreement related to them.
4.14. Rental Promos.From time to time, Landlords may run promotional offers involving their Listings. Promotional codes and coupons related to any promotional offer may only be redeemed during the applicable promotional period and may be used only in connection with the advertised Listing.

You shall not make any unauthorized duplicates of any promotional codes or coupons and any such unauthorized duplicates are void. Promotional codes and coupons have no cash surrender or exchange value and may not be sold or transferred to any other Person. Promotional offers, including promotional codes and coupons, may be subject to additional terms and conditions. Liv Strategies and the Landlord sponsoring the promotion each reserve the right to modify or cancel these promotions at any time.
