Privacy

For information about your privacy please see our Privacy Policy.

Browser Support

Better supports the two latest versions of the following web browsers: Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of web technology, we cannot guarantee the accuracy or functionality of any advice or information offered on Better unless viewed in a supported browser.

Trademarks

We work hard to make sure our goods and services are easily recognizable. We do this by associating our goods and services with our trademarks and trade dress (“Mark” or collectively “Marks”). This is why our Marks cannot be used in any manner that is deceptive or disparaging, or in connection with any product or service that is not ours. Without our prior written consent, using a Mark constitutes trademark infringement and unfair competition in violation of federal and state laws.

The following is a non-exhaustive list of our Marks. The absence of a product or service name or logo from this list does not constitute a waiver of trademark or other intellectual property rights.

Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Better respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. Pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”), Better will respond expeditiously to notices of alleged copyright infringement on Better Accountability that are reported to Better.

Better prohibits copyright infringing activities on Better Accountability and will, if properly notified of infringing files, expeditiously remove or disable access to such files. Upon receipt of the notice, Better will take whatever action, in its sole discretion, it deems appropriate, including removing or disabling access to the material without prior notice, to the extent it is technologically possible given the nature of Better Accountability.

Notice: If you are a copyright owner, or agent thereof, please report alleged copyright infringements taking place on or through Better Accountability or other Better services by completing a DMCA notice of alleged infringement and delivering it to Better. Upon receipt of a notice, Better will take whatever action, in its sole discretion, it deems appropriate, including removal of the challenged content from Better Accountability.

Counter notice: Once an appropriate notice is received, Better will follow the procedures provided in the DMCA, which set forth a notice and takedown process, subject to the alleged infringer’s right to submit a counter-notification claiming lawful use of the copyright or other intellectual property interest that is allegedly infringed. Please note that any notices or counter notices received may be sent to Better’s legal advisors.
