RentalGauge Acceptable Use Policy


Last revised on May 10, 2018

RentalGauge is a platform that provides the tools and technology for property managers, landlords, and tenants. While we believe in the free and open exchange of ideas, there are some activities that are incompatible with RentalGauge’s mission to improve the renting experience. This Acceptable Use Policy describes activities that are prohibited in connection with your use of the Services. For the purposes of this policy, “Materials” means any photos, images, videos, graphics, written content, audio files, code, information, data or other content uploaded, collected, generated, stored, displayed, distributed, transmitted or exhibited on or in connection with your Account.

We may, at any time and without notice, remove any Materials, and suspend or terminate your Account or your access to the Services if you engage in activities that violate the letter or spirit of this Acceptable Use Policy, including activities outside of your use of the Services.

RentalGauge has the right, but not the obligation, to monitor or investigate any Materials and your use of the Services at any time for compliance with this Acceptable Use Policy and the RentalGauge Terms of Service, or any other agreement between you and RentalGauge governing your use of the Services (collectively, the “Terms”). Our determination of whether a violation of this Acceptable Use Policy has occurred will be final and binding, and any action taken with respect to enforcing this Acceptable Use Policy, including taking no action at all, will be at our sole discretion.

RentalGauge may modify this Acceptable Use Policy at any time by posting a revised version at https://www.rentalgauge.ca/legal/acceptable_use_policy. By continuing to use the Services or access your Account after a revised version of the Acceptable Use Policy has been posted, you agree to comply with the latest version of the Acceptable Use Policy. In the event of a conflict between the Acceptable Use Policy and the Terms, this Acceptable Use Policy will take precedence, but only to the extent required to resolve such conflict. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Acceptable Use Policy shall have the meanings set forth in the Terms.

If you feel that a user of the Services has violated this Acceptable Use Policy, please contact us at support@rentalgauge.ca.
