I understand that my dealings with or participation in promotions of advertisers found on my Account or the Broker VOW, including payment for and delivery of goods and services, and any other terms (such as warranties) are solely between Me and such advertisers. I agree that neither Broker or Agent shall be responsible for any loss or damage of any sort relating to my dealings with such third parties.
  6. I understand and agree that my Account and the Broker VOW may include information, tips, facts, views and opinions that Broker or Agent deem worthy of publication.

  7. I understand that use of my Account does NOT impose a financial obligation on Me and the Broker or Agent with whom I am collaborating through my Account. I acknowledge that by accepting this Agreement, I am entering into a lawful customer/Broker relationship with Broker, and I understand and agree that any real estate Brokerage services rendered to Me by reason of my use of the functionality available to Me at my Account are being rendered to Me solely by Broker or Agent, or individuals licensed as real estate Brokers or agents who are affiliated with Broker, and not by any other party, whether or not the names or logos of such parties may appear on my Account.

Such unsolicited communications may take place by email at the email address I used for registration or any alternative mode of communication that I may provide in the future.
  10. I understand that Broker or Agent may limit the number of properties displayed to Me in response to my search requests based upon a determination of the reasonable number of properties appropriate to be displayed in response to a single search request, given existing market conditions, technology limitations, total number of matching listings in the MLS database compilation, and other "reasonable use" restrictions deemed appropriate by Broker or Agent, which total number may vary from market to market and from time to time.

  16. Broker and any agent do not assume any responsibility for, and expressly disclaim, any and all liability for any of your submissions. Broker and any agent do not assume any responsibility for monitoring submissions and, if at any time Broker chooses, in his, her or its sole discretion, to monitor submissions, Broker and any agent nonetheless does not assume any responsibility for the submissions, any obligation to modify or remove any inappropriate, inaccurate or prohibited submission, or any responsibility for your or any other account holder's conduct in submitting any submission. Furthermore, Broker does not make any warranties, express or implied, concerning your ability to rely upon any submissions submitted by other account holders or others, or any submissions that you transmit to other account holders or other persons.

Neither Broker or any agent guaranties or warrants that the content on any account or the Broker VOW is accurate, complete, timely, or free of technical or typographical errors. I expressly acknowledge and agree that my use of the content displayed on my account or the Broker vow is at my sole risk. Broker provides the content on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Broker and any agent expressly disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, concerning my account or any other account, website or property, including, but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. Broker and any agent do not make any warranty that the content available to me on my account, the Broker VOW or any other account or property will meet my requirements, or that access to my account or the Broker vow and the content thereon will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, accurate, virus-free or error free. Nor do Broker or any agent make any warranty about the results that may be obtained from the use of information, products or services provided on or through my account, or any other account, the Broker vow or property, or concerning the accuracy or reliability of any content on, or accessible through, such accounts, websites or properties. Broker and any agent do not make any warranties regarding any information obtained by you, or anyone acting on your behalf, from any hyperlinked third party site.
  18. I agree that neither Broker, any agent, nor any party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the content or functionality accessible to me on my account, or the Broker VOW shall be responsible or liable for any damages whatsoever, including direct, incidental, consequential, or indirect damages, arising out of my access to, use of, or inability to use, my account, the Broker vow, any other Broker account, any products, services, or content offered or provided on my account, the Broker VOW, any other hyperlinked website, or for any errors or omissions in the content or functionality thereof, for any person's reliance on any information or content provided on or through my account or the Broker vow, whether or not the information is correct, current, or complete, or for the consequences of any action I or any other person may take or fail to take based on content provided by or as a result of the use of my account or the Broker VOW. I specifically agree that Broker any any agent are not liable for any conduct by me associated with my account or the Broker VOW. Neither Broker or any agent is responsible for any problems or technical malfunction of any telephone network or lines, computer online systems, servers or providers, computer equipment, software, or failure of any email due to technical problems or traffic congestion on the internet or on my account or the Broker VOW, including any injury or damage to my, or any other person's, computer that relates to or results from use of my account, the Broker VOW or any other account. In no event shall Broker or any agent or the Broker's officers, directors, employees, accountants, attorneys, vendors, independent contrators, or agents be liable for any damages whatsoever, including indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, resulting from the use or the inability to use my account or the Broker VOW, or from any information, products or services purchased, obtained, or accessed from my account or the Broker VOW, or from any messages received or transmitted from or through my account or the Broker VOW, or transactions entered into through my account or the Broker vow or resulting from unauthorized access to or alteration of transmissions or data, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, use, data, or other intangible property, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise, even if Broker, or any agent has been advised of the possibility of such damages. I understand some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to me.
  19. I agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Broker and any of Broker's affiliates, officers, subsidiaries, parents, partners, directors, employees, agents or independent contractors from any damages, judgments, costs, and expenses, including attorneys fees and litigation costs and expenses at trial or on appeal, arising from any claim by a third party based upon use of my Account, my use of the Broker VOW or any Submissions I transmit to my Account or the Broker VOW, or to any Agent, or any other Account holder, or based on any breach by Me of My duties, obligations, representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement. This defense and indemnification obligation will survive the termination of this Agreement.
  20. I agree that the unauthorized use of my Account, or the Site Materials will cause injury to Broker, or one or more of his, her or its affiliates, agents, or independent contractors, that cannot adequately be remedied by money damages, and that Broker and Broker's respective affiliates, or any one of them may seek preliminary or permanent injunctive relief to enjoin the unauthorized use of my Account or the Site Materials, which injunctive relief shall be in addition to any other remedies available to such parties at law or equity. If any such suit for injunctive relief is brought against Me, I waive any obligation of the plaintiff to prove that the plaintiff does not have an adequate remedy at law, or that plaintiff's injuries are irreparable. If such party is successful in securing a preliminary injunction order against Me, I waive any obligation of such party to post a security bond in conjunction therewith.
  21. I understand that this agreement does not impose a financial obligation on me. I understand that neither Broker nor any agent has entered into any form of fiduciary or Brokerage relationship with me solely by granting me access to, and limited use of, the site materials available on my Broker account. Any form of fiduciary or Brokerage relationship between Broker, agent and me shall not exist unless and until the agent shows me property available for sale or lease, or I request the agent to assist me in procuring a real estate sales or lease contract on terms acceptable to me.
  22. I understand and agree that Broker in his, her or its sole discretion, may terminate this Agreement, my Account, and any corresponding subscriptions, delete any content stored in my Account, direct Me to cease using my Account, and discontinue or restrict my access to my Account, or the Account of any other Account holders, all without notice to Me and for any reason. I agree that Broker and any Agent shall not be liable to Me or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of my Account, the Broker VOW, or any other Account, or any parts thereof. Upon termination of this Agreement or my Account, neither Broker and any Agent shall have any further obligation to Me, including any duty to return or destroy any information I may have supplied to them during the term of this Agreement.
  23. I understand that I am responsible for controlling access to, and use of, my user name and password that must be entered to provide Me with access to my Account. All information or actions transmitted by, submitted by, or received from anyone using my user name and password on my account will be binding on me, whether or not such information or action is delivered, transmitted, submitted or taken with my actual knowledge. If I have reason to believe that an unauthorized person may have gained access to my Account through my user name or password, I agree to contact Broker immediately for the purpose of disabling access to my Account.
  24. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is, becomes, or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable, or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without such provision.
  25. The failure of Broker at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in not in any manner affect the right of Broker at a later time to enforce the same.
  26. I acknowledge that the Broker's or any Agent's use of any information I supply through my Broker Account is subject to the Broker's Privacy Policy accessible on my Broker Account.
  27. This Agreement may not be assigned by Me by contract, operation of law, or otherwise, and any attempted assignment in contravention of this Section 24 shall be null and void and not have any legal force or effect. I understand and agree that Broker may assign this Agreement, or otherwise transfer their rights and obligations under this Agreement at any time without my consent or notice to Me.
  28. I acknowledge that the Content contained on my Account is controlled in and originates from the United States. Broker does not make any representation that any of the Content is appropriate or available for use in other locations. Broker does not have any responsibility for any access to my Account or the Broker VOW from territories where the Content may be illegal or otherwise prohibited. If I choose to access my Account or the Broker VOW from other locations, I do so at my own risk and am responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. I agree that any claim relating to the enforcement or interpretation of this Agreement, the use of my Account or the Broker VOW, or the functionality or Content available on my Broker Account or the Broker Website, or any of the Site Materials, shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State in which the Broker resides, without regard to its conflicts of laws rules. I agree that any action or petition to enforce or interpret this Agreement shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in the state which the Broker resides, and I expressly waive any objection to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. If Broker prevails in any petition filed against Me to interpret or enforce this Agreement, I agree that the Court shall enter an award on behalf of the Broker for the Broker's reasonable attorney's fees, costs, and litigation expenses associated with the prosecution of such suit, or the appeal of any judgment or award rendered on behalf of Broker. I AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CASUE OF ACTION ACCURES, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
  29. I agree that Broker may amend or modify this Agreement at any time without notice to Me or my consent, and make such amended versions of this Agreement accessible at my Account. My use of my Account after Broker has amended or modified this Agreement shall be deemed my acceptance of such amendments or modifications. If I do not want to be bound by an amendment or modification of this Agreement, my sole remedy is to terminate this Agreement by notice to Broker as provided at my Account, and to refrain immediately from using my Account upon transmittal of such notice.
