Terms of Service

Welcome to Rechat! Rechat Inc. (“Rechat”) provides an all-in-one real estate platform to professionals, including,
without limitation, real estate agents, brokers and third-party providers of financial, legal, inspection and insurance
professional services related to real estate transactions (collectively, “Real Estate Pros”) and their clients (“Clients”),
through our mobile device application (the “App”) and our website located at rechat.com (the “Site”)]. Please read
these Terms of Service (the “Terms”) and our Privacy Policy (www.rechat.com/privacy) carefully because they govern
your use of our App [and the Site]. To make these Terms easier to read, the App [, the Site] and our services are
collectively called the “Services.”

Agreement to Terms

By using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree to these
Terms and our Privacy Policy, do not use the Services. If you are accessing and using the Services on behalf of a
company (such as your employer) or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind
that company or other legal entity to these Terms. In that case, “you” and “your” will refer to that company or other
legal entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless specified otherwise in these Terms, any references to “you” and
“your” will refer to you, either in your capacity as a Real Estate Pro or Client using the Services.

Changes to Terms or Services

We may modify the Terms at any time, in our sole discretion. If we do so, we’ll let you know either by posting the
modified Terms on the Site or through other communications. It’s important that you review the Terms whenever we
modify them because if you continue to use the Services after we have posted modified Terms on the Site, you are
indicating to us that you agree to be bound by the modified Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by the modified
Terms, then you may not use the Services anymore. Because our Services are evolving over time we may change or discontinue
all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.

Who May Use the Services

Eligibility

You may use the Services only if you are 18 years or older and capable of forming a binding contract with Rechat and
are not barred from using the Services under applicable law.

Registration and Your Information

If you want to use the Services you will have to create and use an account (“Account”). Whether you are a Real Estate
Pro or a Client, you will be able to send invitations to other Real Estate Pros or Clients, as applicable, to use
the Services. A Real Estate Pro or Client Account may be referred to individually or collectively in these Terms
as an “Account.” You can also create an Account through your account with certain third-party social networking services
such as Facebook or Twitter (each, an “SNS Account”). If you choose the SNS Account option we’ll create your Account
by extracting from your SNS Account certain personal information such as your name and email address and other personal
information that your privacy settings on the SNS Account permit us to access.

It’s important that you provide us with accurate, complete and up-to-date information for your Account and you agree
to update such information, as needed, to keep it accurate, complete and up-to-date. If you don’t, we might have
to suspend or terminate your Account. You agree that you won’t disclose your Account password to anyone and you’ll
notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account. You’re responsible for all activities that occur under
your Account, whether or not you know about them.

Via the Services, Account holders can communicate with other Account holders to: (i) communicate and exchange real

as applicable, to join the Services and share and upload User Content (defined below), including videos and/or pictures

You will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Rechat and its officers, directors, employee and agents, from and against

THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN
RECHAT AND YOU.

Dispute Resolution

Governing Law

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to
its conflict of laws provisions.

Agreement to Arbitrate

You and Rechat agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach,
termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services or Content (collectively,
“Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right: (i) to bring an individual
action in small claims court and (ii) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction
to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks,
trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights (the action described in the foregoing clause (ii),
an “IP Protection Action”); and (iii) you retain the right to litigate any Dispute other than an IP Protection Action
by providing Rechat with written notice of your desire to do so by email or regular mail at [email protected] or Rechat
Inc., 3700 Mckinney Ave. Unit 708, Dallas, TX 7520, within thirty (30) days following the date you first accept these
Terms (such notice, an “Arbitration Opt-out Notice”). If you do not provide Rechat with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice
within the thirty (30) day period, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate
any Dispute except as expressly set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above. The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of
any IP Protection Action or, if you timely provide Rechat with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice, will be the state and
federal courts located in the Northern District of California and each of the parties hereto waives any objection
to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Unless you timely provide Rechat with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice, you
acknowledge and agree that you and Rechat are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff
or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding.

Further, unless both you and Rechat otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s
claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph
is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” section will be deemed void. Except as provided
in the preceding sentence, this “Dispute Resolution” section will survive any termination of these Terms.

Arbitration Rules

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial
Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect,
except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by
calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of
this Section.

Arbitration Process

A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified
in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at http://www.adr.org/aaa/ShowPDF?doc=ADRSTG_015820
and a separate form for California residents at http://www.adr.org/aaa/ShowPDF?doc=ADRSTG_015822.) The arbitrator
will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from the
AAA’s roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery
of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.

Arbitration Location and Procedure

Unless you and Rechat otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim
does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents that you and
Rechat submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary.
If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules,
the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent
with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

Arbitrator’s Decision

The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will
include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration
award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award of damages must be consistent
with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section above as to the types and amounts of damages for which a
party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant
and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. If you prevail in
arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable
law. Rechat will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys’ fees
and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.

Fees

Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA
Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, Rechat will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator
finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or
was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).

Changes

Notwithstanding the provisions of the “Modification” section above, if Rechat changes this “Dispute Resolution” section
after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject
any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to [email protected]) within 30 days of the date
such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of Rechat’s email to you
notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between
you and Rechat in accordance with the provisions of this “Dispute Resolution” section as of the date you first accepted
these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

General Terms

These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Rechat and you regarding the Services
and Content, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements
between Rechat and you regarding the Services and Content. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds
any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible
and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Rechat’s prior written consent.
Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. Rechat may freely assign
or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit
of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

Any notices or other communications provided by Rechat under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to
these Terms, will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Services. For notices made by e-mail, the date
of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

Rechat’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or
provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized
representative of Rechat. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its
remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
