Sub-Lease/License Agreement
This Sub-Lease/License Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between the Organization and Keyholder
shown on page 4 of this Agreement on the date set forth therein.
Keyholder and Organization agree as follows:
1. LICENSE AND LEASE
a. eKEY Professional or Basic Software. If selected, Organization grants to Keyholder, a limited non-exclusive, non-
transferable, revocable sub-license for the Term to use the eKEY Professional or Basic Software (the “eKEY”). The eKEY enables
Keyholder to obtain a current update code; open and perform other iBox functions; and upload property showing data. The eKEY is
used with certain electronic devices (“Devices”) approved by Supra. Supra may approve additional Devices during the term of the
Agreement but does not provide any warranty of the performance of such Devices.
b. iBox BT LE. If applicable, Organization leases to Keyholder for the Term, and Keyholder agrees to lease, iBox BT LE
units (“iBoxes”). In addition, Organization grants to Keyholder (i) a limited non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable sub-license to
use the Network, which is necessary for the use and operation of the iBoxes for the Term and (ii) a limited, non-exclusive,
nontransferable, revocable sub-license to use the software Organization licenses from Supra for the Term.
c. Network. Organization grants to Keyholder (i) a limited non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable sub-license to use the
network (the “Network”), the use of which Organization licenses from UTC Fire & Security Americas Corporation, Inc. (“Supra”),
which is necessary for the use and operation of the ActiveKEY or eKEY (collectively, “Key”) for the Term shown on page 4 of this
Agreement and (ii) a limited, non-exclusive, nontransferable, revocable sub-license to use the software Organization licenses from
Supra (the "Software") for the Term.
2. SERVICE
a. The Software, the equipment incorporated in the iBoxes (if applicable) (“Equipment”); Network; and KIM Database are
collectively, “Service.”
b. Keyholder understands that, in order to make the Service available to Keyholder, Organization and Supra entered into a
Master Agreement that provides the terms under which Supra will provide the Service to Organization. Keyholder understands
that, if the Master Agreement is terminated for any reason during the Term of this Agreement, the Service will no longer be
available to Keyholder and this Agreement will terminate in accordance with Section 12 below. Keyholder agrees that,
under the terms of the Master Agreement, Organization may elect a different Service or choose to upgrade the Service at
any time during the Term of this Agreement, which may result in an increase of the System Fee and/or the termination of
this Agreement. Except as the rights and obligations of Keyholder and Organization under this Agreement may be affected as
described in the two preceding sentences, the rights and obligations between Keyholder and Organization with respect to the
Service are governed solely by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Keyholder understands that failure of Organization to
perform its obligations under the Master Agreement may detrimentally affect Keyholder’s use of the Service.
c. In the Master Agreement, Supra has reserved the right to discontinue any item of Equipment used in connection with the
Service upon the provision of one (1) year prior written notice to Organization. If Supra discontinues any item of Equipment, the
Equipment leased and licensed hereunder shall continue to be completely compatible with and shall function with the Service. If the
Equipment leased is lost, destroyed or damaged, Organization may replace that Equipment with refurbished Equipment
(“Replacement”), which shall be completely compatible with and shall function with the Service, and shall offer the same level of
functionality as the Equipment currently offered.
d. Keyholder agrees to comply with the Rules and Regulations relating to the use of the Service which are set forth in the
User Guide and the Rules and Regulations of Organization and/or its MLS system. By executing this Agreement, Keyholder agrees
to maintain the security of the personal identification number of each piece of Equipment to prevent the use of the Equipment by
unauthorized persons. Keyholder further agrees that neither the Service, nor any other Supra product used in connection with the
Service (including the Equipment), is a security system. The Service is a marketing convenience key-control system, and as such,
any loss of Equipment or disclosure of personal identification numbers compromises the integrity of the Service, and Keyholder
agrees to use her or his best efforts to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of all components of the Service.
3. TERM This Agreement shall commence on the date set forth in the signature block and have a term (“Term”) through the date
shown on page 4, unless terminated earlier or extended pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
4. PAYMENTS
a. DURING THE TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT, KEYHOLDER SHALL PAY TO ORGANIZATION A FEE FOR THE RIGHT
TO USE THE SERVICE PLUS APPLICABLE TAX (THE “SYSTEM FEE”). SUCH SYSTEM FEE SHALL BE DETERMINED BY
ORGANIZATION. KEYHOLDER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN SECTION 12.
b. Keyholder shall pay the System Fee determined by the Organization upon entering this Agreement and shall pay the
System Fee for all subsequent years as directed by the Organization.
c. Organization reserves the right to: (i) increase the System Fee annually, (ii) charge a key activation fee, (iii) charge a late
fee for any System Fee that is not paid as directed by the Organization, and (iv) charge a fee for any payment that is returned
unpaid or for insufficient funds or credit.
d. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN, KEYHOLDER’S OBLIGATION TO MAKE PAYMENTS TO OR AT THE
DIRECTION OF ORGANIZATION SHALL BE ABSOLUTE, UNCONDITIONAL, NONCANCELABLE AND INDEPENDENT AND
Sub-Lease/License Terms v. 2.04.20 YES MLS, OH
Page 2 of 4 Rev. 03.05.20
SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY SETOFF, CLAIM OR DEFENSE FOR ANY REASON, INCLUDING ANY CLAIMS
KEYHOLDER MAY HAVE RELATING TO PERFORMANCE OR FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE OF OR TO THE SERVICE OR THE
EQUIPMENT OR ANY REPLACEMENTS.
5. TITLE AND USE The Service, including all its components, and the Equipment (except iBoxes), are and shall at all times
remain the property of Supra. All additions and upgrades to the Software shall become part of the Software and shall, without
further act, become the property of Supra. The Software and all applicable rights in patents, copyrights, trade secrets, and
trademarks, are and shall at all times remain the property of Supra.
6. RISK OF LOSS; RETURN OF EQUIPMENT
a. No loss, damage or destruction to the Equipment shall relieve Keyholder of any obligation under this Agreement, except
to the extent any such loss, damage or destruction is directly caused by the negligence of Organization. Replacements may be
refurbished Equipment.
b. At the expiration of the Term, Keyholder, at Keyholder’s expense and risk, shall immediately return or cause the return to
Organization to such location as Organization shall specify, all Software and any components included within the Service that have
been leased or licensed to Keyholder pursuant to this Agreement. The components used in connection with the Service shall be
returned in good condition, repair and working order, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
7. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS Keyholder covenants and agrees:
a. If Keyholder misuses the Service or any component thereof, including without limitation, use of the Service in violation of
the User Guide, and a third party brings an action against Organization and/or Supra relating to such misuse, Keyholder agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Organization and/or Supra, and their respective directors, officers, agents, representatives,
employees, successors and assigns, from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, losses, damages, injuries, obligations,
liabilities and costs and expenses of every kind or nature (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether incurred at the trial or
appellate level, in an arbitration proceeding, in bankruptcy, including without limitation, any adversary proceeding, contested matter
or motion or otherwise) incurred by Organization and/or Supra in such proceeding.
b. That neither Organization nor Supra shall be liable for any compensatory, indirect, incidental, consequential,
punitive, reliance or special damages, including, without limitation, damages for lost profits, advantage, savings or
revenues of any kind or increased cost of operations, arising out of the use or inability to use the Service for any purpose
whatsoever whether or not Keyholder has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
c. That Keyholder will not (i) use or gain access to the source code for the Software; (ii) alter, reproduce, modify, adapt,
translate, reverse engineer, de-compile, disassemble or prepare derivative works based upon the Software; or (iii) provide or
otherwise make available the Software or any part or copies thereof to any third party.
d. To provide Organization and Supra with written notice of any legal proceeding or arbitration in which Keyholder is named
as a defendant and that alleges defects in the Equipment within five (5) days after Keyholder receives written notice of such action.
The obligations set forth in this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement.
8. DEFAULT
a. Each of the following events shall be an Event of Default by Keyholder under this Agreement: (i) Keyholder’s failure to
pay, for any reason, any amount required under this Agreement within fifteen (15) days after the date that such payment is due; or
(ii) the commencement of either an involuntary or voluntary action under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law of the
United States of America or any state thereof or of any other country or jurisdiction with respect to Keyholder; provided, however,
that the commencement of any involuntary case or proceeding will not be an Event of Default under this Agreement if such case or
proceeding is dismissed within sixty (60) days after it was commenced.
b. An Event of Default by Organization under this Agreement will occur upon the termination for any reason of the Master
Agreement.
9. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
a. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Keyholder, Organization may, at its sole option and without limitation or
election as to other remedies available under this Agreement or at law or in equity, exercise one or more of the following remedies:
(i) terminate this Agreement and demand the return of any Equipment and Software to Organization; (ii) terminate one or both of
Keyholder’s sub-licenses to use the Network and to use the Software; (iii) direct Supra to deactivate Keyholder’s access to the
Service or any component of the Service; (iv) bill the Keyholder for any outstanding amounts owed under this Agreement, including
any applicable liquidated damages for the failure to return the Equipment; and/or (v) take any and all actions necessary to collect all
amounts currently due and owing under this Agreement, including any and all costs and expenses of every kind or nature (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether incurred at the trial or appellate level, in an arbitration proceeding, or in bankruptcy, including
any adversary proceeding, contested matter or motion, or otherwise) incurred by Organization in connection with the exercise of its
rights and remedies under this Agreement.
b. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Organization or termination of this Agreement, all of Keyholder’s
obligations under this Agreement shall terminate, except that Keyholder shall be required to return the Equipment and Software to
Organization and to pay Organization any outstanding amounts owed under this Agreement, including any damages for the failure
to return the Equipment and Software.
c. If Organization deactivates the Service because of a default by Keyholder under this Agreement, but does not otherwise
terminate this Agreement, Keyholder will be entitled to seek to have the Service reactivated. In order to so, Keyholder shall be
required to cure any and all existing defaults, and to pay any and all outstanding amounts owed under this Agreement and the
reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by Organization in connection with collecting under this Agreement. After
confirmation of the curing of such defaults and the receipt of payment of such amounts, Organization shall direct Supra to reactivate
the Equipment within twenty-four (24) hours.

Page 3 of 4 Rev. 03.05.20
Organization in connection with collecting under this Agreement. Keyholder expressly waives all rights to possession or use of the
Service or the Equipment or any component thereof after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and waives all claims or losses
caused by or related to any repossession or termination of use.
e. Organization’s failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver
thereof or of any subsequent breach or of such right or remedy. Organization’s rights and remedies are cumulative, not exclusive,
and no exercise of any remedy shall preclude the exercise of another remedy.
10. ARBITRATION; LITIGATION Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved by
binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association or such other rules as may be agreed to by
the parties. The arbitration shall be conducted in a location mutually agreed to by the parties. If the parties fail to agree on the
location of the arbitration within thirty (30) days after either party requests arbitration, the arbitration shall be conducted in the city
where Organization is located; provided that either party shall be entitled to participate in such arbitration by video conference or
teleconference. The substantially prevailing party in any arbitration under this Agreement shall be entitled to recover from the other
as part of the arbitration award reasonable costs and attorney’s fees. Any arbitration award may be enforced by a court of
