Terms of Use

Last Updated: July 27, 2026

These Terms of Use are entered into by and between you and First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. and its United States affiliates (collectively, “FIRT,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). 

The following terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, the “Terms”), govern your access to and use of FIRT websites and online features that link to these Terms, including property search, employment application, investor-relations, and contact features (collectively, the “Sites”). 

Please read the Terms carefully before you use the Sites. By using the Sites or by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, including the agreements incorporated by reference, you must not access or use the Sites. 

By using the Sites, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with FIRT. If you use the Sites on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms. If you do not meet these requirements, you must not access or use the Sites.

These Terms contain a mandatory individual arbitration agreement and class action/jury trial waiver that, with only limited and specified exceptions, require final and binding arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions or proceedings. 

MODIFICATION OF TERMS 

We reserve the right to change or modify these Terms at any time and in our sole discretion. If we make changes, we will provide notice by updating the “Last Updated” date or by other appropriate means. By continuing to use the Sites after such update, you confirm your acceptance of the revised Terms and all terms incorporated by reference. You should review these Terms periodically to understand the terms and conditions that apply when you access or use the Sites. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you may not access or use the Sites.

PRIVACY POLICY 

Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information about how we collect, use, disclose, and protect Personal Information. By using the Sites or submitting Personal Information through the Sites, you acknowledge that Personal Information will be handled as described in the Privacy Policy. 

COMMUNICATIONS 

By using the Sites, you agree that we may provide notices and other communications to you electronically, including by email or by posting notices on the Sites. If you receive marketing communications from us, you may opt out as described in the communication or in our Privacy Policy. You agree that electronic notices, agreements, disclosures, or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirement, including that such communications be in writing. You should maintain copies of electronic communications from us by printing or saving an electronic copy. 

USER SUBMISSIONS AND APPLICATIONS 

The Sites may allow you to submit information through contact forms, property inquiry tools, employment application features, or similar functions. You represent that any information you submit is accurate, current, and complete, and that you have the right to submit it. You must not submit information about another person unless you have authority to do so. Submissions are not confidential except to the extent they constitute Personal Information handled under our Privacy Policy or are subject to a separate written agreement with FIRT. Submitting an employment application, property inquiry, or other request through the Sites does not guarantee employment, a property transaction, a response, or any particular business relationship with FIRT.

PROHIBITED USES 

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, you may access and use the Sites for lawful informational purposes. You may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion or feature of the Sites, or any other systems or networks connected to the Sites, by hacking, password “cracking,” or any other illegitimate means. You may not breach or attempt to breach the security or authentication measures on the Sites, or any other systems or networks connected to the Sites, or otherwise interfere with the proper functioning of the Sites. You will not falsify your identity or impersonate another person or engage in conduct that limits the use and enjoyment of the Sites by other users. 

In addition, you agree not to, and will not assist another person or entity to:

  1. reverse engineer, disassemble, alter, decompile, duplicate, create derivative works from, make copies of, extract information from, distribute, license, lease, sell, resell, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit, stream, broadcast or otherwise exploit the Sites, in whole or in part, except as expressly permitted by us;

  5. remove any notice of proprietary rights belonging to us or our licensors from any portion of the Sites or any printed version thereof; 
  6. use the Sites, including by uploading, storing, transmitting, or otherwise providing FIRT with access to any information, data, image, document, or other content, in any manner or for any purpose that: (i) infringes, violates, or promotes the infringement or violation of any applicable law, regulation, legal requirement, contractual obligation, or right of any person or entity, including intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or publicity rights; (ii) is fraudulent, false, deceptive, misleading, or defamatory, including phishing; (iii) promotes hatred, violence, or harm against any individual or group; or (iv) is otherwise harmful, obscene, or objectionable; 
  7. overload, flood, spam, or mail-bomb the Sites or otherwise use the Sites in a manner that interferes with or creates an undue burden on the Sites, including by using the Sites to send unsolicited communications, promotions, advertisements, or spam; 
  8. attempt to interfere with, compromise the system integrity or security of, or decipher any transmissions to or from the servers running the Sites; or 
  9. identify or refer to FIRT or the Sites in a manner that could reasonably imply an endorsement by us, or a relationship or affiliation between you or a third party and FIRT, other than your permitted use of the Sites under these Terms, without our express written consent.

We reserve the right to report any activity or content that we reasonably believe violates any law, rule, or regulation to appropriate law enforcement officials, regulators, or other appropriate third parties. Such reporting may include disclosing information as appropriate and as permitted by law. We also may cooperate with law enforcement agencies, regulators, or other appropriate third parties to help investigate and prosecute illegal conduct. 

LIMITED LICENSE 

You are granted a limited, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable, nonassignable, non-sublicensable, “as-is” license to access and use the Sites and related content for lawful informational purposes, including evaluating FIRT, its services, available properties, investor information, career opportunities, and contact options. This license is subject to these Terms and does not include any right to (i) sell, resell, or commercially exploit the Sites or content on the Sites, (ii) distribute, publicly perform, or publicly display content on the Sites except as expressly permitted by us, (iii) modify or create derivative works from the Sites or any portion of them, (iv) use data mining, robots, scraping, or similar data-gathering or extraction methods, (v) download any portion of the Sites except for ordinary page caching or materials made available for download, or (vi) use the Sites other than for their intended purposes. 

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS 

All content on the Sites, including text, property information, investor materials, reports, graphics, logos, images, photographs, videos, maps, data compilations, and the overall design and layout of the Sites, is the property of FIRT or its content providers and is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, or otherwise use any content from the Sites without our prior written consent, except as expressly permitted by these Terms.

Nothing on the Sites grants you any license or right to use any of our intellectual property except as expressly stated in these Terms.

Feedback. You may choose, or we may invite you, to submit comments, feedback, or ideas about the Sites (“Feedback”). You agree that we may use Feedback without additional compensation to you and may disclose Feedback on a non-confidential basis, except to the extent Feedback includes Personal Information handled under our Privacy Policy or is subject to a separate written agreement with FIRT. You acknowledge that, by accepting Feedback, we do not waive any rights to use similar or related ideas previously known to us, developed by our employees or contractors, or obtained from sources other than you.

SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION 

We may permanently or temporarily terminate or suspend your access to our Sites without notice or liability, without cause or for any reason, including if, in our sole discretion, you violate any provision of these Terms. Termination will be in addition to any other remedies we may have at law or in equity.

THIRD-PARTY SITES AND LINKS 

The Sites may contain links or references to third-party websites, services, information, materials, applications, portals, investor-relations resources, property tools, or other online services that are not owned or controlled by us (each, a “Third-Party Service”). If you use a Third-Party Service, you are subject to the third party’s applicable terms and privacy policy. We do not endorse and are not responsible for any Third-Party Service. If you access a Third-Party Service through the Sites, you do so at your own risk, and you understand that these Terms and our Privacy Policy do not apply to your use of Third-Party Services. 

INFORMATIONAL CONTENT; PROPERTY AND INVESTOR INFORMATION 

The Sites are provided for general informational purposes only. Property information, availability, dimensions, specifications, photographs, maps, rents, pricing, service descriptions, and other information displayed on the Sites may change without notice, may be provided by third parties, and may contain errors or omissions. Nothing on the Sites constitutes an offer, commitment, representation, warranty, brokerage engagement, lease, sale, investment recommendation, or other transaction unless set forth in a separate written agreement signed by FIRT.

Investor-related materials on the Sites are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities. You should not rely on the Sites as the sole basis for any investment, leasing, brokerage, employment, or other decision, and you should consult appropriate professional advisers before making such decisions.

INDEMNITY 

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless FIRT and its affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, service providers, licensors, successors, and assigns, from and against all actual or alleged third-party claims, damages, awards, judgments, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, interest, fees, expenses, and costs, including attorneys’ fees and court costs, of every kind and nature arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the Sites (collectively, “Claims”), including Claims caused by, arising out of, or related to (a) your use or misuse of the Sites; (b) any Feedback or other submission you provide; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation of the rights of any third party; or (e) any breach or nonperformance of any covenant or agreement made by you. You agree to promptly notify FIRT of any third-party Claims and cooperate with FIRT in defending such Claims. FIRT may control the defense or settlement of any third-party Claims. THIS INDEMNITY IS IN ADDITION TO, AND NOT IN LIEU OF, ANY OTHER INDEMNITIES SET FORTH IN A SEPARATE WRITTEN AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND FIRT.

DISCLAIMERS 

THE SITES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” AND FIRT SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ALL WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE. WE MAKE NO WARRANTY THAT THE SITES OR ANY CONTENT WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, ACHIEVE ANY INTENDED RESULT, BE COMPATIBLE OR WORK WITH ANY OF YOUR OR ANY THIRD PARTY’S SOFTWARE, SYSTEM, OR SERVICE, OR BE SECURE, ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, FREE OF HARMFUL CODE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY ERRORS OR DEFECTS CAN OR WILL BE CORRECTED. 

ALL PROPERTY INFORMATION, SERVICE DESCRIPTIONS, INVESTOR MATERIALS, IMAGES, MAPS, AVAILABILITY INFORMATION, PRICING, DIMENSIONS, SPECIFICATIONS, AND OTHER CONTENT ON THE SITES ARE FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY, MAY CONTAIN ERRORS OR OMISSIONS, AND DO NOT CONSTITUTE A GUARANTEE OF AVAILABILITY, CONDITION, PRICING, PERFORMANCE, OR RESULTS.

CONTENT ON THE SITES DOES NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL, TAX, ACCOUNTING, INVESTMENT, BROKERAGE, REAL ESTATE, EMPLOYMENT, OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVICE. YOUR USE OF THE SITES, SUBMISSION OF INFORMATION THROUGH THE SITES, OR COMMUNICATION THROUGH THE SITES DOES NOT CREATE A BROKERAGE, TENANCY, EMPLOYMENT, ADVISORY, FIDUCIARY, OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH FIRT.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFIT OR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM THESE TERMS, THE SITES, OR ANY CONTENT ON THE SITES, OR FOR ANY DAMAGES RELATED TO LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR LOSS OF DATA, WHETHER CAUSED BY TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. ACCESS TO, AND USE OF, THE SITES IS UNDERTAKEN BY YOU AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR MOBILE DEVICE OR LOSS OF DATA RESULTING THEREFROM. 

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THESE TERMS, YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SITES, OR ANY CONTENT ON THE SITES EXCEED $100. 

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. 

DISPUTE RESOLUTION 

Arbitration Agreement

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH FIRT AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.

These Terms, including all matters of construction, validity, and performance, and all disputes arising out of or connected with these Terms or the Sites (each a “Dispute,” collectively, the “Disputes”), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except that this arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Before commencing arbitration, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute informally by providing written notice describing the Dispute and allowing 30 days for resolution. If the Dispute is not resolved, either party may initiate individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the AAA rules applicable to the Dispute. The place of arbitration shall be Chicago, Illinois, unless the parties agree otherwise or the applicable AAA rules require a different location. Notwithstanding this arbitration provision, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court if the Dispute qualifies, and either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property, confidential information, security, or unauthorized use of the Sites. All Disputes shall be mediated, arbitrated, or litigated only on an individual basis. The parties shall bear their own expenses, except as otherwise required by applicable law or the applicable AAA rules. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver 

With respect to all persons and entities, regardless of whether they have used the Sites for personal, commercial, or other purposes, all claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding. This waiver applies to class arbitration, and, unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s Claims. You and we agree that the arbitrator may award relief only to an individual claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief on that individual claim. Any relief awarded may not affect other users. You and we agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding of any kind.

GENERAL

International Issues. We operate the Sites from the United States of America. If you choose to access the Sites from outside the United States of America, you are responsible for complying with applicable local laws. 

Entire Agreement. These Terms, any applicable supplemental terms, and our Privacy Policy constitute the entire legal agreement between you and us regarding your access to and use of the Sites and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements between you and us related to your access to or use of the Sites, whether oral or written.

Interpretation. The language in these Terms will be interpreted according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against any party.

Severability. Should any part of these Terms be held invalid, illegal, void, or unenforceable, that portion will be deemed severed from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions. 

No Waivers. Our failure or delay to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute or be deemed a waiver of future exercise or enforcement of that right or provision. Any waiver of a right or provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by our duly authorized representative. 

Governing Law. Subject to the Dispute Resolution section above, all matters arising out of or relating to these Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois and the federal laws of the United States of America applicable therein, without giving effect to any choice or conflict-of-law provision or rule.

Venue. Subject to the Dispute Resolution section above, any legal action or proceeding arising under these Terms that is not subject to arbitration will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois, and we and you irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there. 

Notices. We may provide you with notices, including notices regarding changes to these Terms, by email or by posting on the Sites. By providing us with your email address, you consent to our use of that email address to send notices. Notices sent by email will be effective when we send the email, and notices provided by posting will be effective upon posting. It is your responsibility to keep your email address current. 

Assignment. You may not assign any of your rights or obligations under these Terms, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms in our sole discretion to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale, financing, reorganization, or other transfer of all or part of our business or assets. These Terms will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.
