These Terms incorporate a Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, appended below, as integral parts.   Also, for particular Website Services or portions of this site, we may post specific rules.  In case of any conflict between the Terms and a specific rule, the specific rule will prevail.

While we take reasonable efforts to update our Website, we may from time to time, alter our Website Services, or other aspects of our business without prior notice.  Thus, nothing on our Website regarding the aspects of our Website Services, shall be deemed as our binding offer. 

2. MEMBER ACCOUNT

To use any Website Services, you must register a member account as a Client (a person requesting property services).   The Website shall collect your personal information in an online profile (“Profile”), viewable by you, the Website, and by other members under certain conditions provided in these Terms. 

A Client must provide truthful personal information as requested, including real name, address, email, phone number and other relevant information.  The Website reserves the right, in its discretion, to approve or disapprove of any Client Account.  A Client must update his/her account immediately in case of any change of information, such as contact information or address.

Account Warranties.  In respect of your account information, you represent and warrant that: (a) you are of legal age; (b) you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms; and (c) all information you provide, including any credentials and business qualifications, is true, accurate and not misleading, and will be maintained as such.  You agree that we may verify any the information that you supply.

You consent to the Website's use and display on the Website of anonymous data records from information collected from your use of Website Services, including the nature of the services you requested in your city.

If a Client submits a Lead as defined below, he or she may receive sms and email notifications of proposals from interested Agents, and the Website shall disclose identifying information to the Agents concerned.  Client agrees that this information will be disclosed even if he is listed on any federal, state, provincial or other applicable "Do Not Call" list, in order that the Website may provide the Website Services, to maintain Client’s account, to reasonably address matters pertaining to Client’s account or for other purposes reasonably related to Client’ Lead and the Website's business, including marketing-related emails. 

You are responsible to maintain the confidentiality of your password and account and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your account. You shall immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security.

3. WEBSITE SERVICES

Posting of Leads and Acceptance of Proposals.    After registering an account, a Client may post on the Website a request for certain services for a particular property  (a "Lead").  In response to the Lead, the Client may receive service proposals from Agents (a “Proposal”).  If a Client accepts an Agent’s Proposal, the Client shall be deemed to have committed to the Agent’s services to sell or rent out the Client’s property, or to have committed with Agent’s principal to purchase or rent the principal’s property, as the case may be (collectively, “Property Services”).  The Website facilitates communication between the parties only up to the point of Client’s acceptance of a Proposal.  The actual performance or implementation of any Property Services is outside the purview of this Website and must be arranged solely between Client and Agent (or Agent’s principal), as the case may be.      

Types of Leads.  A Lead may involve one of the following Property Services:

• Sell My Property. Request Agents to submit proposals to sell Client’s property.
• Rent My Property. Request Agents to submit proposals to manage and rent out Client’s property to tenants.
• Sale Appraisal. Request Agents to provide a sale appraisal for Client’s property. Sale proposals included.
• Rent Appraisal. Request Agents to provide a rent appraisal for Client’s property. Rental proposals included.

Depending on the type of Lead, the Client should input certain specific information.  For example, for Looking to Sell, the Client should input his expected price range, the number of bedrooms, bathrooms and other relevant information.  The Website will display the details to Agents based on the Agent’s self-reported Profile. 

Conditions and Warranties for Leads.  By posting a Lead, you represent and warrant, as the case may be, that: (a) you intend in good faith to avail yourself of the Property Services requested, and you are not merely “testing the market” or intend otherwise than what you request; (b) you have the financial capacity to pay your quoted price; (c) you are genuinely willing to accept a purchase or rental at your quoted price; (d) you have the authority and power to sell or rent the subject property, or to enter into a binding agreement for the Property Services requested; (e) the Lead’s contents are in all respects truthful, accurate and not misleading.

Any Lead posted on the Website: (a) shall not be fraudulent; (b) shall not violate any law, statute, ordinance or regulation (including without limitation those governing Client protection, unfair competition, anti-discrimination or false advertising); (c) shall not be defamatory, libelous, unlawfully threatening or unlawfully harassing; (d) shall not be obscene or offensive; and (e) shall not contain any viruses, worms or other computer programming routines that are intended to damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or personal information.

The Website does not promise or guarantee that there will be any Agents who are capable or willing to provide the requested Property Services or that Client will find any Proposals acceptable.  

Proposal Disclaimer.  We do not endorse the information or representations set forth in the Agent Profiles or Proposals, as they are self-reported by the Agents.  We make no guarantees, promises, warranties or representations of any kind regarding such Agents, or their Proposals.  You should verify that the information presented by the Agent, including the information in the Agent Profile, is accurate.   You assume responsibility to conduct your own investigation of any Agent that you consider engaging.  You have the sole burden to determine, among other things, whether an Agent is appropriately licensed and qualified, whether the Agent has the claimed experience, whether the Proposal is commercially feasible, or whether the subject property exists and is worth the proposed rent or purchase price.

No Endorsement of Agent.  We do not endorse or recommend the services of any particular Agent. The decision to send engage an Agent, or receive Property Services belongs entirely to the Client.  We do not warrant the Agent’ performance or the quality of any goods, materials, equipment or services furnished by Agent.  We do not contract for or perform, and are not responsible for, any of the services requested by the Client in the Lead, or the contents of any Proposal.  You expressly acknowledge and agree that your use of the Website is at your sole risk.

Accepting Property Services.  When an Agent makes a Proposal or otherwise deals with a Client, the Agent acts on the Agent’s sole behalf and is not a representative or Agent of the Website, its owners, or affiliates. If Client accepts the Agent’ Proposal and uses the Agent’s Property Services, Client and Agent should separately enter a binding legal agreement for such services.  Any such agreement entered between the Client and Agent is solely between the Client and Agent, and the Website is not a party or third-party beneficiary to such agreement, and any provisions to the contrary shall be null and void. 

Removing Leads.  If the Client has entered into an agreement with an Agent for Property Services under a Lead, or if the Client otherwise withdraws, cancels or completes the contemplated Property Services, the Client must immediately close the Lead on the Website.  The Client shall indemnify and hold harmless the Website from any loss or damage that may arise from failure to timely close the Lead, including but not limited to the losses incurred by Agents that waste resources in pursuing a defunct Lead.

Review of Agents.  The Website may provide functionality for review and feedback for Agents.  In this regard, you warrant that any reviews of Agents are made in good faith, are fair, truthful and relate to actual services performed.  You shall not post any review that is libelous, obscene, invades privacy, or otherwise violates these Terms.  You affirm that such reviews are solely your opinion and not endorsed by Website in any way.  You will indemnify and hold free and harmless the Website from any claims, damages or injuries that arising from your review.

4. GENERAL COMMERCIAL TERMS

Duty to Maintain and Update Contacts & Property details.  Clients have the duty to maintain and update their contact and property details, provided that the information cannot be changed to the detriment of any binding agreement for Property Services.

Facilitation of Contract Only.  The Website shall be deemed as no more than a facilitator of any contract between Client and Agent (or Agent’s principal), and Website shall not in any way be deemed a party or a beneficiary of such contract. The performance, implementation, completion or payment in respect of any contracted Property Services shall be separately arranged between the Client and Agent to the exclusion of Website, and Client or Agent shall look solely to the other in respect of any relevant liability, responsibility or obligation.

Website Does Not Handle Money between Agent and Client.  Website does not handle any money or financial transactions between Agent and Client.  Any person purporting to represent the Website in transferring money or arranging financial transactions, between Agent and Client, is without authority.  Agent and Client are responsible for all monetary transfers between them or to other parties.

No Resale of Data.  Client may not resell, assign, transfer or disclose to third parties any data obtained through the Website, including but not limited to the content of any accounts, Profiles, Leads, and Proposals, except as strictly necessary to use the data  as intended under these Terms.

5. RELATIONSHIP AND DISPUTES BETWEEN CLIENTS AND AGENTS

Relationship Between Agents and Clients.  The Website is only a passive conduit for information.  The Website has no participation in or control over: Agent/Client Profiles; Client Leads; Agent Proposals; or any contact details.  Thus, Clients and Agents are solely responsible for their interactions with each other, and contract solely with each other without making the Website a party or third-party beneficiary.   Client’s rights under contracts with Agents (or their principals) are governed by the terms of such contracts and by applicable federal, state, provincial and local laws.

We are not an agent, broker, or legal representative of any user, and are not licensed as such.  We are not authorized to act on behalf of any user or to bind any user to any legal obligations, other than as provided in these Terms.  Before deciding to accept any Proposal, you shall rely solely on your own evaluation of the Agent, including experience, qualifications, credentials, reviews, employment history, account information, representations made and such other material facts as you, in your sole discretion, deem relevant. 

Direct Settlement.  We are not obligated to provide any mediation, arbitration or other dispute resolution services between Clients and Agents.  Clients dissatisfied with Property Services performed by an Agent must communicate directly with the Agent to resolve and settle any problems.  The Website is not responsible or liable to either the Client or the Agent if a mutually acceptable resolution is not reached.

No Liability in Respect of Disputes.  In exchange for the Website Services provided by the Website and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, you expressly agree to release the Website, its officers, directors, affiliates, parent companies, employees and Agents from any claims, demands, causes of action, losses and damages (direct and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with any dispute between Clients or Agents.  You waive any limitations on general releases under applicable law. 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you release and absolve the Website from any liability arising from: improperly performed Property Services; unsuitability of any property; false or misleading Leads or Proposals; dishonesty, fraud, swindling, deceit or misrepresentation by any Clients or Agents.  

You agree to that you wish to bring legal proceedings in respect of any Property Services, you must inform the Website no later than four weeks prior initiating suit.

6. SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION

We reserve the right to, without notice, suspend or terminate the Website Services, in whole or in part, for any Client, Agent or other Website user, including but not limited banning, deleting or denying access to any account, Lead, or Proposal, in case of any of the following events:
