1 Nextdoor Member Agreement Welcome to Nextdoor! This agreement describes your rights and responsibilities as a Nextdoor member and what you can expect from us. Eligibility and Address Verification. Each person can only have one account per residence, and you may not share your account password with anyone else (even a family member sharing your home). You must use your real name, not a pseudonym. If you are under 13 years old, do not use our services or provide any data to us. Registered sex offenders and their households are not eligible for Nextdoor accounts, and we may also deny account registrations we think would harm a Nextdoor neighborhood. It is not OK to submit inaccurate registration information. Providing false registration information violates our norms and could constitute a crime. Although we make efforts to verify members neighbor status and identify registered sex offenders, please do not assume our verification processes are perfect. Government entities (such as city offices or police or fire departments) have restricted-functionality accounts; among other restrictions, they can only access messages sent to them, not messages between neighbors in the neighborhood. You can opt-out of receiving messages from government entities at Government entities may get the names of neighborhood Leads and have the ability to communicate directly with them, and we provide government entities with some aggregated statistics about neighborhood activity and size. We automatically subscribe you to messages both for your neighborhood and nearby neighborhoods. You can customize your neighborhood subscriptions at nextdoor.com/nearby_neighborhoods_prefs/. Third Party Marketing. We know that you do not want marketing from third parties just because you join a neighborhood website, so we do not turn over your personally identifiable information to third party marketers without your express consent. See our full privacy policy. Content. You retain all ownership rights to the text, photos, video and other content you submit to Nextdoor (collectively, your Content ). We can publish your Content in your neighborhood or to nearby neighborhoods as described in our privacy policy. You may not provide us with any Content you don t have the right to publish or that is defamatory, infringing, illegal or otherwise tortious.

Alerts sent via SMS may not be delivered if your phone is not in range of a transmission site, or if sufficient network capacity is not available at a particular time; furthermore, within a coverage area, factors beyond the control of the user s wireless carrier may interfere with message delivery, including equipment, terrain, proximity to buildings, foliage, and weather.

WE AND OUR SUPPLIERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (HOWEVER ARISING, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE NEXTDOOR SERVICE, OUR SOFTWARE OR THIS AGREEMENT. WE AND OUR SUPPLIERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR MORE THAN $100. Some jurisdictions do not allow damages exclusions, so they may not apply to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple does not have any warranty obligation with respect to the Nextdoor iphone app. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the Nextdoor iphone app or your possession or use of it, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the Nextdoor iphone app does not conform to any applicable legal or

3 regulatory requirement; (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation; or (iv) any infringement of a third party s intellectual property rights. Governing Law/Arbitration. (a) This agreement is governed by California law as it applies to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within California between California residents. (b) Any disputes or claims between you and Nextdoor shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate. (c) EITHER OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND NEXTDOOR AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER NEXTDOOR MEMBERS. (d) The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its rules and procedures, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (as applicable), as modified by this agreement. You can find the AAA's rules, and a form for initiating arbitration proceedings, at (e) The arbitration shall be held in the county in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, you or Nextdoor may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and Nextdoor (subject to the arbitrator's discretion to require an in-person hearing if the circumstances warrant). Attendance at an in-person hearing may be made by telephone unless the arbitrator requires otherwise. (f) The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of California, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator is not bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Nextdoor users but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same Nextdoor user to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

4 (g) Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules except as expressly stated otherwise. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, at your request, Nextdoor will pay all filling, administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. Any request for payment of fees by Nextdoor should be submitted by mail to the AAA along with your Demand for Arbitration, and Nextdoor will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to the AAA. If the value of the relief sought is more than $10,000 and you can demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Nextdoor will pay as much of the filing, administration, and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. If the arbitrator determines that your claims are frivolous, you agree to reimburse Nextdoor for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by Nextdoor on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA's rules. (h) Except with respect to subsection (c) of this Section, if a court decides that any part of this arbitration section is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of the arbitration section shall still apply. If a court decides that any provision in subsection (c) is invalid or unenforceable, then the entire arbitration provision shall be null and void (but subsections (a) and (j) shall remain in effect). (i) You can reject the arbitration provisions ("opt out") by mailing us a written opt-out notice ("Opt-Out Notice"). Your Opt-Out Notice must be postmarked no later than 30 days after the date you accept the Member Agreement for the first time. However, if you accepted the Member Agreement prior to February 4, 2014, your Opt-Out Notice must be postmarked no later than March 6, You must mail the Opt-Out Notice to Nextdoor.com, Inc., 101 Spear Street, Suite 230, San Francisco, CA 94105, attn: Legal. The Opt-Out Notice must state that you do not agree to arbitration and must include your name, address, phone number, and the address(es) used to log in to the Nextdoor account(s) to which the opt-out applies. You must sign the Opt-Out Notice for it to be effective. This procedure is the only way you can opt out of arbitration. If you opt out of arbitration, all other provisions of the Member Agreement apply. (j) To the extent any claim or dispute regarding Nextdoor isn t arbitrable (or eligible for small claims court), it will be resolved exclusively by a federal or state court located in San Francisco, California. You submit to the personal jurisdiction of courts located in San Francisco, California for litigating such claims or disputes. Integration. This agreement and our privacy policy (which is hereby incorporated into this agreement) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede any other agreements or understandings (oral or written), between you and us with respect to their subject matters. We can amend this agreement or the privacy policy by posting an amendment notice in your neighborhood s news feed, which means we ll also send a message to you unless we let you opt-out of such notifications and you ve done so; and you can deactivate your account if you disagree with the new terms.
