Terms of use
Eversa Platform

Effective: 2023-06-12

Welcome to Eversa. Eversa is a residential and commercial property management web platform that facilitates management tasks and improves communications between property owners/landlords, property managers and tenants. The Eversa Platform offers an online venue that enables Users to publish, offer, search for, rent a property and once a connection is made, communicate with each other about maintenance schedules, administer rental payments and so much more. Users who publish and offer rental properties are “Property Managers” and Users who search for, apply, or become a renter are “Tenants.”

Eversa is owned and operated by Ikarus (https://ikarusdev.ca/). As the provider of the Eversa Platform, Ikarus does not own, control, offer or manage any of the content uploaded into the Eversa Platform by Property Managers or Tenants. Ikarus is not a party to the contracts entered into directly between Property Managers and Tenants, nor is Ikarus a Property Manager.

Ikarus is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any Users (Property Manager or Tenant). As a service provider to a Property Manager, Ikarus will remain at all times responsible for the maintenance of Eversa, the debugging (if necessary), as well as providing technical support as part of our licensing agreement with a Property Manager.

As a User, you, on behalf of yourself as an individual (e.g. a Property Manager or a Tenant) or, on behalf of the organization that has entered into an Eversa licensing agreement with Ikarus (e.g. a Property Manager) that grants you access to Eversa, are agreeing to be bound by the following Terms of Use. If you do not wish to be bound by these Terms of Use, you must stop using the Eversa Platform.

We may modify these Terms of Use at any time by publishing the amended Terms of Use on the Eversa Platform. The amended Terms of Use will take effect immediately. You will be required to accept the amended Terms of Use the next time you log in to the Platform. The effective date of the latest update is indicated at the beginning of these Terms of Use.

We welcome your questions, comments and feedback regarding these Terms of Use. Contact us at: info@eversa.app.

USER ACCOUNT

All Users of the Eversa Platform must register to create a User account. You represent and warrant that the information you provide to create your User account is valid and accurate. You may not share your account with any other person, and you must always keep your password confidential. You are responsible for any action taken or performed through your User account and accessed with your password.

If you register a User account through an organization that has entered into a licensing agreement with Ikarus (e.g. property managers, owners, landlords) and acts as the Administrator of their Eversa account, they may use a third-party service to authenticate Users in Eversa. As Administrator, the organization is responsible for communicating to all their Users, which data may be shared with the operator of that service.

You, as an individual, as well as the organization that has otherwise granted you a User license under a separate agreement with Ikarus, will be responsible for maintaining the security of your account, passwords and User content, including all uses of your personal account and any of your uses or misuses of the organization’s Eversa administrative account. If you are a Property Manager, you are responsible for understanding and complying with all laws, rules, regulations and contracts with third parties that apply to your use of the Eversa Platform.

When you create your account, you are granted a limited, revocable, non-transferable and non-sublicensable license to use the Eversa Platform on one or more computers and / or mobile devices that are under your control and that run on an operating system supported by Eversa, but only in accordance with these Terms of Use.

Ikarus cannot and does not make any representations or warranties regarding the devices you use to access or use Eversa that may impact your access to the Platform, including with respect to device compatibility.

Ikarus also grants you the right to reproduce the documentation available relating to the use of Eversa for the sole purpose of helping you to use Eversa in accordance with these Terms of Use. We make no warranty about the documentation.

Tenant Responsibility

When you receive the rental confirmation, a contract for the rental of the property is formed directly between you, the Tenant and the Property Manager. In addition to these Terms of Use for Eversa, you will be subject to, and responsible for complying with, all terms issued by the Property Manager, including without limitation, the cancellation policy and any other rules, standards, policies, or requirements identified by the Property Manager. It is your responsibility to read and understand these rules, standards, policies, and requirements prior to renting a property.

Property Manager Responsibility

The Property Manager will have access to the Administrator module of Eversa and will be able to grant User licenses for the Tenant module to its Tenants, as well as User licenses to its third parties. The Property Manager is responsible for registering their Users.

When you accept a Tenant through the Eversa Platform, you are entering into a contract directly with the Tenant and are responsible for delivering your rental property under the terms and at the price specified in your Listing. Any terms, policies, or conditions that you include in any supplemental contract with Tenants must: (i) be consistent with these Terms of Use, and (ii) be prominently disclosed in your Listing description.

Your relationship with Ikarus is that of an independent individual or organization and not an employee, agent, joint venturer, or partner of Ikarus. Ikarus does not direct or control your role as Administrator on the Eversa Platform, and you agree that you have complete discretion whether and when to provide property rental listings, and at what price and on what terms to offer them.

You acknowledge that the role of Property Manager carries inherent risks and agree that you assume the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the Eversa Platform, offering Listings, or any interaction you have with Tenants whether in person or online. You agree that you have had the opportunity to investigate the Eversa Platform and any laws, rules, regulations, or obligations that may be applicable to your Listings and that you are not relying upon any statement of law made by Ikarus as provider of the Eversa Platform.

USER CONTENT

Parts of the Eversa Platform enable you to provide files, text, photos, information, and other content (collectively, “Content”). By providing Content, in whatever form and through whatever means, you grant Ikarus a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, sub-licensable and transferable licence to copy, modify, prepare derivative works of, distribute, publish, and otherwise exploit, that Content, without limitation.

All User Content collected from Tenants is and will always remain under the control and responsibility of the Property Manager who has signed an Eversa License with Ikarus.

Ikarus undertakes to keep confidential and reasonably secure, Content in Eversa and not to use this information in any context other than the activities related to the use of Eversa (except for purposes of improving Eversa) and to only use anonymized or de-identified information.

The Property Manager will have a period of 30 days to download its Content following the expiry date of the Eversa License. Beyond this period, the data will no longer be available to the Property Manager or the Tenant. Ikarus will securely destroy the Content on the servers where they are hosted.

The Property Manager is responsible for notifying its Users of the end of the License that User access will be terminated and the Content will be securely deleted within 30 days of the expiration of the Eversa License.

Any request from the Property Manager for the extraction of Content before the expiry of the license, apart from what will be developed in the "Administrator" module of Eversa, may be subject to additional costs which must be paid in full by the Property Manager.
