4. No Reliance on Information Posted or Linked-To

ALL INFORMATION, MATERIAL, AND CONTENT ON THE WEBSITE AND LINKED TO FROM THE WEBSITE ARE STRICTLY FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND ARE NOT PROVIDED AS INVESTMENT, TAX, LEGAL, FINANCIAL, OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVICE. WE ARE NOT FINANCIAL ADVISORS, CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS, OR LAWYERS. YOU SHOULD NOT CONSTRUE OR RELY ON ANY SUCH INFORMATION, MATERIAL, OR CONTENT AS INVESTMENT, TAX, LEGAL, FINANCIAL, OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVICE. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY FOR YOUR RELIANCE ON ANY INFORMATION, MATERIAL, OR CONTENT OFFERED ON OR THROUGH OUR WEBSITE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO OUR CERTIFIED PROVIDER DIRECTORY, THE THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES PROVIDED IN OUR CERTIFIED PROVIDER DIRECTORY, BLOGS, INFORMATION CONTENT, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES WE MAY OFFER THROUGH THE WEBSITE, AND THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ACCESSED OR OFFERED THROUGH OUR WEBSITE, INCLUDING THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES PROVIDED BY ANY CERTIFIED PROVIDER LISTED ON THE WEBSITE.

The information presented on or through the Website is made available solely for general information purposes. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of this information. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk. We disclaim all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such materials by you or any other visitor to the Website, or by anyone who may be informed of any of its contents.

This Website may include content and links to materials and websites created and/or provided by third parties such as our Certified Providers, affiliates, or licensors. All statements, information, advice, and/or opinions expressed in these materials, other than the content created by COMPANY, are solely the statements, information, advice, opinions, and the responsibility of the person or entity providing those materials and information. These materials and information do not necessarily reflect the opinion of COMPANY. We are not responsible, or liable to you or any third party, for the content or accuracy of any materials or information created or provided by any third parties, including the Certified Providers.

5. No Guarantee of Services

COMPANY does not represent, warrant, or guarantee that you will find a Certified Provider on the Website that meets your particular needs or circumstances or that such Certified Provider will be willing or able to provide you with services. Specifically, COMPANY does not represent, warrant, or guarantee that any Certified Provider: (i) is qualified to provide you with the services you request; (ii) is legally allowed to provide, in your particular jurisdiction, the services you request; or (iii) is willing to provide you with the services you request. It is the sole responsibility of you and any Certified Provider to agree as to the nature, scope, pricing, and other terms of any services the Certified Provider will or will not provide to you. Any services that a Certified Provider will or will not provide to you are subject entirely to an agreement, if any, between you and the Certified Provider, and such services are not the responsibility, duty, obligation, or liability of COMPANY.

6. Certified Providers

As used on the Website, a “Certified Provider” means a provider of real estate services that COMPANY has decided to list on the Website after interviewing the provider and reviewing that provider’s portfolio, previous work experience, resume, and/or digital presence. Certified Providers are not employees, representatives, or agents of COMPANY or acting under our direction. Certified Providers are third-party independent contractors, and we are not acting as an agent for you or any Certified Provider, and do not have the right or ability to bind you or any Certified Provider.

COMPANY does not provide any professional advice or service to you or Certified Providers. We are not involved in the conversations in which you and a Certified Provider may engage. We shall not be liable for (a) any of your acts or omissions or any of the acts or omissions of any Certified Provider; (b) the content, communications, advice, statements, opinions, or any other information that you may exchange with any Certified Provider; (c) the failure of a Certified Provider to provide services to you or the manner or quality in which a Certified Provider provides services to you; or (d) any damage that may result from following the advice of or receiving the services provided by a Certified Provider. You are solely responsible for your engagement, if any, with any Certified Provider.

COMPANY does not endorse or recommend any particular Certified Provider(s). We cannot ensure that a Certified Provider will respond to your request for services or provide you with the services you request. You understand and acknowledge that we cannot and do not oversee, monitor, endorse, or guarantee the services that a Certified Provider may provide to you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right, but are not obligated, to remove any Certified Provider from our Website for any reason, including, but not limited to, for a violation of these Terms of Use.

COMPANY is NOT responsible for mediating disputes between you and any Certified Provider.

We have reviewed the work experience of each Certified Provider as part of our vetting process; however, such review is only as accurate as the information provided by the Certified Provider. Additionally, because our one-time review is conducted as part of the onboarding process to determine whether to list a particular provider on the Website, it does not account for changes in the Certified Provider’s work experience that may arise after our review. We do not endorse, recommend, or guarantee the advice, services, or work of any Certified Provider. For the avoidance of doubt, we disclaim all liability related to a Certified Provider’s work experience, professional advice, services, or work performance, including a Certified Provider’s expertise and quality of advice, services, or work.

We cannot and do not represent, warrant, or guarantee the truthfulness or accuracy of (i) any information that we provide about any Certified Provider on the website, (ii) the credentials or identities of any Certified Provider, or (iii) the information provided by any Certified Provider on its website, in person, or otherwise. You acknowledge that we will not be liable for any loss or damages caused by your reliance on any information or content provided by a Certified Provider.

The laws, regulations, other governing authorities, standards, practices, and procedures that apply to your particular situation and/or a Certified Provider’s particular professional advice may differ depending on your location and situation. Certified Providers may be licensed, certified, educated, employed by or have experience in particular jurisdictions and not others. You are responsible for confirming that a Certified Provider is properly licensed, certified, educated, employed, or experienced in a particular area or jurisdiction.

COMPANY SHALL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY OF ANY KIND FOR ANY PROFESSIONAL SERVICES RENDERED BY ANY CERTIFIED PROVIDER, AND ANY USE OR RELIANCE ON SUCH PROFESSIONAL SERVICES IS SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

7. Application to Become a Certified Provider

On the Website, we may provide you with an option to apply to become a Certified Provider via an application form (the “Form”). The Form is NOT an offer, promise, guarantee, commitment, obligation, or agreement by COMPANY to contract with you, list you or your business as a “Certified Provider” on the Website, provide you with a marketing onboarding package or any other materials, or otherwise do business with you, provide services to you, or engage in any transaction with you. Your filling out and submitting the Form is merely the first step in our vetting process. COMPANY expressly reserves the right to reject, refuse, suspend, ignore, or otherwise dispose of your application for any reason or no reason, in COMPANY’s sole and absolute discretion. Any agreement, if any, between you and COMPANY regarding your application to become a Certified Provider or status as a Certified Provider, and any terms and conditions of such an agreement, shall be memorialized in and subject to a separate written agreement between you and COMPANY.
