Terms of Use Policy
This Client Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into by Realtracs, Inc. (“Realtracs,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and you as a user (“you,” “your,” or “Client”) of the Realtracs Website (the “Website”) and Realtracs Mobile Application (the “App”). This Agreement applies to all users of the Website and App, including individual consumers and real estate professionals. This Agreement governs your use of the Website and App and all services, software, products, content, features, and functionality provided thereon (all the foregoing being, collectively, the “Services”). You acknowledge and agree that the terms, conditions, guidelines, covenants, and notices set forth below shall govern your access to and use of the Services.
BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES IN ANY WAY, INCLUDING BY BROWSING THE WEBSITE OR APP, REGISTERING FOR THE SERVICES, AND/OR SUBMITTING ANY CONTENT OR PERSONAL INFORMATION VIA THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO AND ARE LEGALLY BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES, DAMAGE AND REMEDY EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS, VENUE SELECTION, AND CHOICE OF TENNESSEE LAW INCLUDED HEREIN, AND YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND AGREE TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY.
FURTHER, THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDES A MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, WHICH MEANS THAT, WITH SOME LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, YOU AND REALTRACS AGREE TO SUBMIT ANY DISPUTES WE HAVE RELATED TO THE SERVICES TO BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN PROCEEDING IN COURT. INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION MEANS THAT NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT FOR A JUDGE OR JURY TO DECIDE ITS CLAIMS. THE ARBITRATION PROVISION ALSO INCLUDES A CLASS ACTION WAIVER, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU AND WE AGREE TO PROCEED WITH ANY DISPUTE INDIVIDUALLY AND NOT AS PART OF A CLASS ACTION, AND A JURY WAIVER.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY PART OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MUST NOT USE OUR SERVICES. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU ARE AT LEAST EIGHTEEN (18) YEARS OLD OR OLDER, HAVE REACHED THE LEGAL AGE OF MAJORITY IN YOUR JURISDICTION OF RESIDENCE, AND POSSESS THE LEGAL RIGHT AND ABILITY TO AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT.
If you are an individual using the Services on behalf of, or for the benefit of, any corporation, partnership, or other entity with which you are associated (an “Organization”), then you are agreeing to this Agreement on behalf of yourself and such Organization, and you represent and warrant that you have the legal authority to bind such Organization to this Agreement. In that case, references to “you” and “your” in this Agreement will refer to both the individual using the Services and to any such Organization.
Certain aspects of the Services may be subject to different or additional terms, rules, guidelines, or policies (“Additional Terms”), and we may provide such Additional Terms to you via postings, pop-up notices, links, or other means. All Additional Terms are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement. Any reference to the “Agreement” herein includes the Additional Terms. From time to time, Additional Terms may conflict with the terms herein. In the event of such a conflict, the Additional Terms will control. For avoidance of doubt, the Additional Terms include any additional agreements real estate professionals are required to enter in order to access certain paid portions of the Services.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT: YOU ACKNOWLEDGE (A) THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THIS AGREEMENT AND (B) THAT THIS AGREEMENT HAS THE SAME FORCE AND EFFECT AS A PHYSICALLY SIGNED AGREEMENT. WE WOULD NOT PROVIDE THE SERVICES WITHOUT THE CONDITIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU USE THE SERVICES AFTER REVIEWING THIS AGREEMENT BUT LATER SEEK TO REPUDIATE THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ASPECT THEREOF, YOU AGREE THAT SUCH ACTION WOULD CONSTITUTE A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, PROHIBITING YOU FROM ENFORCING ANY ASPECT OF THE AGREEMENT AND ENTITLING US TO DAMAGES RESULTING FROM YOUR BREACH.

- SITE CONTENT
-
The Services and all of its contents, including all text, software, applications, sound, photographs, buttons, images, logos, video, graphics, and Trademarks (defined below) (the “Content”), and the entire selection, coordination, arrangement, and “look and feel” of the Services and the Content, are the exclusive property of Realtracs or our licensors (collectively, “Intellectual Property Rights”). Aside from the limited right to access and use the Services granted in Section 2(a), neither this Agreement nor your use of the Services transfers any right, title, or interest in the Services, Content, or Intellectual Property Rights to you. Realtracs and its third-party licensors retain all of our and their respective right, title, and interest to the Services, Content, and Intellectual Property Rights. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by Realtracs.
-
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, you may not use, modify, republish, frame, print, display, perform, reproduce, license, transfer, sell, assign, post, transmit, distribute, reverse engineer, create derivative works from, or otherwise exploit any Content or information from the Services, in whole or in part, without the express written permission of Realtracs and/or its licensors. You may not “mirror” or frame any Content or information from the Services on any other server without prior written permission from Realtracs. In addition, you agree not to use any data mining, robots, or similar data gathering and extraction methods in connection with the Services and you agree not to attempt, or permit any third parties, to do the same. Any unauthorized use of any Content may violate copyright laws, trademark laws, the laws of privacy and publicity, and communications regulations and statutes. You also agree not to permit or to encourage any third party to do any of the same.
-
The trademarks, service marks, trade names, and logos (collectively, “Trademarks”) used and displayed on the Services are registered and unregistered Trademarks of Realtracs and/or its licensors. In addition, all page headers, custom graphics, button icons, and scripts are Trademarks and/or trade dress of Realtracs and/or its licensors, and may not be copied, imitated, or used, in whole or in part, without the prior written permission of Realtracs and/or its licensors.
-
The Services are available worldwide to anyone with Internet access; provided that certain functionality may not be available to you depending on where you are located. The Services may not be continuously available due to maintenance or repairs or due to computer problems or crashes, disruption in Internet service, or other unforeseen circumstances. The Content of the Services is intended for use and display only where its use and display are permissible in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. You may not use the Services or export the Content in violation of U.S. export laws or regulations. If you access the Services from a location outside of the U.S., you are responsible for compliance with all local laws and regulations.
-
Certain materials on or features accessible through the Services may be furnished by third parties. For example, you acknowledge and understand that the listing content provided via the Services (“Listing Content”) is created, entered, and modified by independent agents and brokers who use the Services.

Third-party Trademarks, trade names, products, or services names contained on the Services are the property of their respective owners.
-
The Services may contain video content, audiovisual content, or content of a like nature (collectively, “Video Content”).

Further, the Services may include online technologies and code-based tools, including cookies, pixels, web beacons, and software development kits, that track information about your activity on the Services (collectively, “Cookies”). Cookies may result in information about your activity on the Services being transmitted from your browser to Realtracs and to third parties, which, in turn, may result in the display of targeted advertisements on third-party websites. Whether Cookies on the Services result in your browser’s transmission of information to third parties depends on a number of factors that may be outside of Realtracs’ knowledge or control, including what third-party websites you use, what information you have provided to third-party websites, and whether (and the extent to which) you have limited the use of Cookies by the operators of third-party websites.
YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, IF COOKIES ON THE SERVICES RESULT IN YOUR BROWSER’S TRANSMISSION OF INFORMATION TO THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES, (I) SUCH TRANSMISSIONS DO NOT CONSTITUTE A “KNOWING DISCLOSURE” OF “PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION” BY REALTRACS UNDER THE VPPA AND (II) YOU WILL NOT INITIATE ANY LITIGATION OR OTHERWISE ASSERT ANY CLAIM AGAINST REALTRACS BASED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, ON SUCH TRANSMISSIONS, WHETHER UNDER THE VPPA, THE CALIFORNIA INVASION OF PRIVACY ACT (CAL. PENAL CODE § 630 ET SEQ.), OR ANY OTHER STATUTE, REGULATION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION.

As a convenience to you, the Services may provide links to websites and access to content, products, and services of third parties, including our affiliates and strategic partners, as well as unaffiliated entities (“Linked Sites”). All Linked Sites are provided only because they may be of interest to users of the Services or offer a service for your convenience. The fact that we offer such links should not be construed in any way as an endorsement, authorization, or sponsorship of the Linked Site or its content, products, or services.
You should refer to the separate terms of use, privacy policies, and other rules posted on a Linked Site before you use them. Realtracs does not author, edit or monitor these Linked Sites, and is not responsible or liable for (a) the availability of or content provided on the Linked Sites; (b) third-party content accessible through the Linked Sites; (c) any loss or damage whatsoever you may incur from dealing with any Linked Sites; or (d) your dealings with any third parties found on or through the Services. You acknowledge and agree that Realtracs shall not be responsible or liable, directly, or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any content, goods, or services available at the Linked Sites.

Realtracs does not control, makes no guarantees about, and disclaims any express or implied representations or warranties about the accuracy, relevance, timeliness, completeness, or appropriateness for a particular purpose of the information or the resources contained on the Linked Sites or any other Internet sites. We reserve the right to terminate such links at any time.
- CERTAIN THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
The Sites may include functionality that allows for the distribution of your Client Content or your personal information (collectively, your “Client Information”) to third parties not under our control (each, a “Third- Party Provider”). You are responsible for your use and submission of Client Information to any Third-Party Provider, and your dealings or business conducted with any third party arising in connection with the Services are solely between you and such third party (notwithstanding the fact that Third-Party Providers may pay us a fee). By using a tool on the Services that allows for Client Information to be transferred to a Third-Party Provider, you are initiating the transfer of the applicable Client Information or other information to the applicable Third-Party Provider(s) and authorizing Realtracs to facilitate that transfer via the Services. If, while using the Sites, you submit a contact form or otherwise indicate your interest in contacting a Third-Party Provider, you may receive communications from the Third-Party Provider using the contact information you provided. Third-Party Providers may keep your contact information and any other information received by the Third-Party Provider in processing a contact or other request form.
As part of the Services, you may be connected with a real estate professional. You acknowledge that Realtracs itself is not a real estate broker, real estate appraiser, mortgage broker, or mortgage lender. You further agree that Realtracs does not aid or assist borrowers in obtaining loans secured by liens on real property, does not itself make such loans, and does not solicit borrowers or lenders for the purpose of negotiating such loans. As part of the Services, you may be connected to a party that provides mortgage loan origination services, title and escrow services, or other settlement services. In providing the Services, Realtracs may provide advertising services and services to facilitate the connection between you and a real estate or mortgage professional and we may receive a financial or other benefit arising out of such marketing services (including, for example, per ad click fee).
If you choose to contact a non-affiliated bank, mortgage lender, financial institution, mortgage loan originator, loan broker, or other mortgage professional through the Services by filling out a contact or other request form or otherwise indicating your interest in contacting (or being contacted by) a Third-Party Provider (including requests for mortgage rate quotes) on the Services, you authorize Realtracs to provide the information you submit to the Third-Party Provider. If you include your name, contact information, and other information in a request, your identity will no longer be anonymous to the Third-Party Provider. Your submission of information and any request for quotes through the Services is not an application for credit. In the case of non- affiliated financial products, Realtracs is only providing an administrative service to consumers and participating Third-Party Providers. Loan approval standards are established and maintained solely by individual Third-Party Providers. Decisions in any related non-affiliated transactions are made by participating Third-Party Providers and are not made by Realtracs, and Realtracs is not responsible for the underwriting activities or credit decisions of any Third-Party Provider. Any non-binding quotes provided by Realtracs for Third-Party Providers’ financial products are not intended to be official Loan Estimates as defined in the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act or the Truth in Lending Act or otherwise serve as a disclosure of any specific loan terms or conditions under any state or federal law. Interest rates displayed through the Services are for informational purposes only and reflect non-binding quotes of the terms a Third-Party Provider might offer an applicant fitting a consumer’s anonymous profile. Actual interest rates may vary. Consumers should rely on their own judgment in deciding which available loan product, terms, and Third-Party Provider best suits their needs and financial means and should consult professionals as needed in such evaluations. Except as set forth in this Agreement or as otherwise disclosed to you, Realtracs: (a) is not a Third-Party Provider, loan originator, loan processor, or underwriter; (b) does not aid or assist applicants in obtaining loans, solicit applicants or Third-Party Providers for loans, or offer or negotiate terms of applications or loans; (c) does not take mortgage applications, make loans or credit decisions, or prequalify or preapprove applicants for loans; (d) is not an agent of either any consumer or any Third-Party Provider; (e) does not endorse, refer, or recommend any Third-Party Provider that pays Realtracs or the products of any Third-Party Provider that pays Realtracs; (f) is not responsible for any errors or delays caused by consumers or any Third-Party Provider in the loan process; and (g) does not guarantee offer of, or acceptance into, any particular loan program or specific loan terms, conditions, or rates with any Third-Party Provider, or that any rates or terms will be the best available.
If you choose to submit your information in order to submit a background or credit check, you acknowledge and agree that Realtracs does not process or store background or credit check information related to any rental products on the Services, and we do not control how a landlord uses background or credit check information in evaluating their applications. Realtracs does not guarantee any acceptance by a landlord of an application, but we do require all landlords using the Services to comply with the Fair Housing Act and other applicable laws.

Realtracs will treat any information it collects or receives from you through the Services in accordance with its online Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”), which is incorporated herein by reference. Please review the Privacy Policy before you use the Services. By using, accessing, and/or registering for the Realtracs Website or the Realtracs Mobile Application, you expressly represent that you consent to all actions taken by Realtracs with respect to your information in compliance with the Privacy Policy.

By submitting a “Contact Us” form or communicating with a real estate professional via the Services, you agree that Realtracs and our affiliates and real estate professionals may communicate with you via telephone call or SMS text message about your inquiry, which may involve use of automated means and prerecorded/artificial voices, even if your mobile number is registered on a state or federal do-not-call list. You do not need to submit a form or communicate with a real estate professional as a condition of buying any property, goods, or otherwise using the Services. Message/data rates may apply.
The Services may provide web forms, links, or contact information, including phone numbers, that can connect you with Realtracs or third parties, such as real estate agents and Third-Party Providers. Realtracs does not endorse any real estate professional. We may share information about your recent and future site activity with your agent to help them understand what you are looking for in a home. Communications through these methods may be routed through a third-party service (“Communications Service”). Calls may be recorded or monitored for quality assurance, training, or customer service purposes. You will be notified at the beginning of a call if it may be recorded or monitored. You consent to such recording and monitoring by Realtracs or the Communications Service. We also use the Communications Service to track phone calls and text messages between you and real estate professionals so that we and the real estate professional can access certain details about the contact. As part of this process, we and the Communications Service will receive in real time, and store, data about your call or text message, including the date and time of the call or text message, your phone number, and the content of the text message. You consent to these practices by us and the Communications Service. All such information is subject to the Privacy Policy.

- INDEMNITY
You agree to indemnify, hold harmless and, at our sole election, defend the Released Parties from any claim, demand, liability, dispute, damage, cost, expense, or loss, (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and fees of other professionals) and costs of litigation, arising out of or in any way related to your Client Content, your violation of this Agreement, or your violation of any rights of a third party.
We reserve the right to assume exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you and you agree to cooperate with us if and as requested by us in the defense and settlement of such matter. In any case, you agree never to settle any matter for which your indemnification is required absent our prior written consent.
- DISPUTE RESOLUTION
If there is any controversy, claim, action, or dispute between you and Realtracs arising out of or related to your use of the Services or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of this Agreement or any part of it (“Dispute”), you and Realtracs agree to resolve the Dispute through the dispute resolution procedures set forth in this Section, even if the Dispute arose prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement.
-
Informal Dispute Resolution.You and Realtracs agree to first attempt to avoid the costs of formal dispute resolution by giving each other a full and fair opportunity to address and resolve the Dispute informally. The party with the complaint (the “Complaining Party”) shall send written notice to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) describing the facts and circumstances of the Dispute (a “Dispute Notice”).
All Dispute Notices must: (1) be signed by the Complaining Party; (2) include the Complaining Party’s name, physical address, and email address; (3) describe with specificity the nature and basis of the Dispute in a manner sufficient for the Receiving Party to evaluate the merits of the Complaining Party’s individualized claim, and (4) set forth the alleged damage and harm suffered and the specific relief sought with a calculation for it. Each Dispute Notice is limited to a single Dispute between you and Realtracs. As such, your Dispute and the Disputes of other parties may not be combined into a single Dispute Notice.
Dispute Notices shall be sent to:
- To Realtracs: You must send notice (1) by electronic mail to TOU@realtracs.com and (2) by first-class or certified mail to 301 Seven Springs Way, Suite 100, Brentwood, TN 37027
- To You: We will send notice by (1) first class or certified mail to the physical address we have on file for you (if any) and (2) by email to the email address we have on file for you (if any). If we do not have any address on file for you, or if we are, for any reason, unable to provide notice via the contact information on file, we reserve the right to provide notice by other reasonable means.
You and Realtracs will attempt to resolve the Dispute through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days beginning on the date that a valid Dispute Notice is sent (the “Informal Negotiation Period”). During the Informal Negotiation Period, the parties are required to conduct an individual meet-and-confer in person, or via teleconference or videoconference, that addresses only the Dispute between you and Realtracs (the “Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the Conference, but you will also need to participate. Realtracs will participate in the Conference through one or more representatives, which may include our counsel.
Both you and Realtracs agree that the foregoing dispute resolution procedure (the “Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure”) is a condition precedent that must be satisfied before initiating any arbitration or litigation against the other party. If any aspect or requirement of the Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure has not been completed or satisfied, the parties agree that (i) a court of competent jurisdiction can enjoin the filing or prosecution of any arbitration or litigation and (ii) unless prohibited by law, no arbitration administrator shall accept or administer any arbitration or demand fees in connection with the Dispute.
-
INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. IF ANY DISPUTE CANNOT BE RESOLVED BY THE INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE, YOU AND REALTRACS AGREE THAT SUCH DISPUTE WILL BE DECIDED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS MEANS THAT NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE, AND WE EACH HEREBY WAIVE, THE RIGHT TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY TO DECIDE OUR CLAIMS, AND THAT NEITHER YOU NOR REALTRACS IS PERMITTED TO PROCEED IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND WE WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE IN COURT WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE OR WILL BE MORE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION, INCLUDING DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS.
All such Disputes shall be exclusively submitted to Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS) (www.jamsadr.com) for binding arbitration under its rules then in effect (as modified by this Agreement), before one arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon by both parties (a Dispute submitted to JAMS for arbitration being a “Demand for Arbitration”). The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards (the “Minimum Standards”) if (and only if) it is determined by JAMS or the arbitrator that the Minimum Standards are applicable to the Dispute. The Minimum Standards are available at www.jamsadr.com/consumer-minimum-standards. The location of any hearings will be determined by the applicable JAMS rules, provided that if the claim is for $5,000 or less, you may choose to (a) have the arbitration conducted solely on the basis of the documents submitted to the arbitrator or (b) hold a hearing by teleconference or videoconference.
The arbitrator, and not any court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute arising under or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. For the avoidance of doubt, you and Realtracs agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope, or validity of this Section 19 or the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in a court of competent jurisdiction.
-
Mass Arbitration.This Section 19(c) applies only to Mass Arbitrations (defined below) and supersedes any provision to the contrary in this Agreement.
If you or Realtracs files a Demand for Arbitration that is one of fifty (50) or more similar Demands for Arbitration filed against the other party (i.e., against you or Realtracs, as applicable) by parties represented by the same law firm or law firms acting in coordination (“Mass Arbitration”), the arbitration of the Dispute, and all other Disputes constituting the Mass Arbitration, shall be conducted in accordance with the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines, including the JAMS Mass Arbitration Fee Schedule (the “Mass Arbitration Procedures”). The Mass Arbitration Procedures are available at www.jamsadr.com/mass-arbitration-procedures.
You and Realtracs agree that, in the event of a Mass Arbitration, any issues arising under or relating to (a) the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable or (b) the jurisdiction of the arbitrator, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope, or validity of this Section 19 or the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction.
-
Exceptions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, you or Realtracs may (a) bring an individual claim or elect to resolve a Dispute in small claims court in the United States consistent with any applicable jurisdictional and monetary limits that may apply (so long as the action is litigated exclusively in small claims court and is not removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction) and (b) file an individual claim in court to (i) enjoin the infringement or other misuse of its intellectual property rights or (ii) seek a declaration that the other party is in breach of this Agreement. You and Realtracs agree that any claims referenced in the preceding sentence must be brought and maintained on an individual basis.
In addition, nothing in this Agreement prohibits you or us from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf (or vice versa).
-
- CHOICE OF LAW & FORUM
This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of Tennessee without regard to its choice-of-law provisions that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16).
Except for claims properly lodged in a small claims court in the United States, any Disputes not subject to arbitration pursuant to this Agreement, including those referenced in Section 19(d), shall be resolved by a court located in Tennessee and you agree and submit to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating any such Dispute.
- GENERAL
If any provision in this Agreement is found to be invalid, the parties agree that the court or arbitrator should give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
Our failure to act with respect to a breach of this Agreement by any visitor using the Services does not constitute a waiver of its right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.

This Agreement not, and shall not be construed to, create any partnership, joint venture, employer-employee, agency, or franchisor-franchisee relationship between you and Realtracs.
You agree that a printed version of this Agreement and/or any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this Agreement or your use of the Services to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.

- LINKED SITES; THIRD-PARTY CONTENT
As a convenience to you, the Services may provide links to websites and access to content, products, and services of third parties, including our affiliates, strategic partners, and other entities with which our connection consists of only a hyperlink (“Linked Sites”). All Linked Sites are provided only because they may be of interest to users of the Services or offer a service for your convenience. The fact that we offer such links should not be construed in any way as an endorsement, authorization, or sponsorship of that site or its content, products, or services.
The Linked Sites may include functionality that allows for the distribution of your Client Content or your personal information (collectively, your “Client Information”) to third parties not under our control (each, a “Third-Party Provider”). You are responsible for your use and submission of Client Information to any Third-Party Provider, and your dealings or business conducted with any third party arising in connection with the Services are solely between you and such third party. By using a tool that allows for Client Information to be transferred, you agree that we may transfer the applicable Client Information or other information to the applicable Third-Party Provider(s). If you submit a contact form or otherwise indicate your interest in contacting a Third-Party Provider, you may receive communications from the Third-Party Provider using the contact information you provided. Third-Party Providers may keep your contact information and any other information received by the Third-Party Provider in processing a contact or other request form.
You should refer to the separate terms of use, privacy policies, and other rules posted on a Linked Site before you use them. RealTracs does not author, edit or monitor these Linked Sites, and is not responsible or liable for (a) the availability of or content provided on the Linked Sites, nor does inclusion of any link imply endorsement of the Linked Sites by RealTracs, or vice-versa; (b) third-party content accessible through the Linked Sites; (c) any loss or damage whatsoever you may incur from dealing with any Linked Sites; or (d) your dealings with any third parties found on or through the Services. You acknowledge and agree that RealTracs shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such content, goods, or services available at the Linked Sites. You bear all risk associated with the use of the Linked Sites, third-party services, and your correspondence or business dealings with advertisers other than us found on or through the Services.
RealTracs does not control, makes no guarantees about, and disclaims any express or implied representations or warranties about the accuracy, relevance, timeliness, completeness, or appropriateness for a particular purpose of the information or the resources contained on the Linked Sites or any other Internet sites. We reserve the right to terminate such links at any time.
- CERTAIN THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
As part of the Services, you may be connected with a real estate professional. You acknowledge that RealTracs itself is not a real estate broker, mortgage broker or mortgage lender, and RealTracs does not aid or assist borrowers in obtaining, solicit borrowers or lenders for, negotiate, or make loans secured by liens on real property. As part of the Services, you may be connected to a party that provides mortgage loan origination services, title and escrow services, or other settlement services. In providing the Services, RealTracs may provide advertising services and services to facilitate the connection between you and a real estate or mortgage professional and we may receive a financial or other benefit arising out of such marketing services (including, for example, per ad click fee).
If you choose to contact a non-affiliated bank, mortgage lender, financial institution, mortgage loan originator, loan broker, or other mortgage professional through the Services by filling out a contact or other request form or otherwise indicating your interest in contacting (or being contacted by) a Third-Party Provider (including requests for mortgage rate quotes) on the Services, you authorize RealTracs to provide the information you submit to the Third-Party Provider. If you include your name, contact information, and other information in a request, your identity will no longer be anonymous to the Third-Party Provider. Your submission of information and any request for quotes through the Services is not an application for credit. In the case of non-affiliated financial products, RealTracs is only providing an administrative service to consumers and participating Third-Party Providers. Loan approval standards are established and maintained solely by individual Third-Party Providers. Decisions in any related non-affiliated transactions are made by participating Third-Party Providers and are not made by RealTracs, and RealTracs is not responsible for the underwriting activities or credit decisions of any Third-Party Provider. Any non-binding quotes provided by RealTracs for Third-Party Providers’ financial products are not intended to be official Loan Estimates as defined in the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act or the Truth in Lending Act or otherwise serve as a disclosure of any specific loan terms or conditions under any state or federal law. Interest rates displayed through the Services are for informational purposes only and reflect non-binding quotes of the terms a Third-Party Provider might offer an applicant fitting a consumer’s anonymous profile. Actual interest rates may vary. Consumers should rely on their own judgment in deciding which available loan product, terms, and Third-Party Provider best suit their needs and financial means. Except as set forth in this Agreement or as otherwise disclosed to you, RealTracs: (a) is not a Third-Party Provider, loan originator, loan processor, or underwriter; (b) does not aid or assist applicants in obtaining loans, solicit applicants or Third-Party Providers for loans, or offer or negotiate terms of applications or loans; (c) does not take mortgage applications, make loans or credit decisions, or prequalify or preapprove applicants for loans; (d) is not an agent of either any consumer or any Third-Party Provider; (e) does not endorse, refer, or recommend any Third-Party Provider that pays RealTracs or the products of any Third-Party Provider that pays RealTracs; (f) is not responsible for any errors or delays caused by consumers or any Third-Party Provider in the loan process; and (g) does not guarantee offer of, or acceptance into, any particular loan program or specific loan terms, conditions, or rates with any Third-Party Provider, or that any rates or terms will be the best available.
If you choose to submit your information in order to submit a background or credit check, you acknowledge and agree that RealTracs does not process, or store background or credit check information related to any rental products on the Services, and we do not control how a landlord uses background or credit check information in evaluating their applications. RealTracs does not guarantee any acceptance by a landlord of an application, but we do require all landlords using the Services to comply with the Fair Housing Act and other applicable laws.

- YOUR PRIVACY
RealTracs will treat any information it collects or receives from you through the Services in accordance with its online Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”), which is incorporated herein by reference. Please review the Privacy Policy before you use the Services. By using, accessing, and/or registering for the RealTracs Website or the RealTracs Mobile Application, you consent to all actions taken by RealTracs with respect to your information in compliance with the Privacy Policy. For example, by using the Services you consent to receiving electronic and SMS text message communications from RealTracs as further described in the Privacy Policy. If you are unwilling to accept the terms and conditions of the Privacy Policy, please do not use the Services.
- CONSENT TO COMMUNICATIONS
By submitting a “Contact Us” form or communicating with a real estate professional via the Services, you agree that RealTracs and our affiliates and real estate professionals may communicate with you via telephone call or SMS text message about your inquiry, which may involve use of automated means and prerecorded/artificial voices. You do not need to submit a form or communicate with a real estate professional as a condition of buying any property, goods, or otherwise using the Services. Message/data rates may apply.
The Services may provide web forms, links, or contact information, including phone numbers, that can connect you with RealTracs or third parties, such as real estate agents and Third-Party Providers. RealTracs does not endorse any real estate professionals. We may share information about your recent and future site activity with your agent to help them understand what you are looking for in a home. Communications through these methods may be routed through a third-party service (“Communications Service”). Calls may be recorded or monitored for quality assurance, training, or customer service purposes. You will be notified at the beginning of a call if it may be recorded or monitored. You consent to such recording and monitoring by RealTracs or the Communications Service. We also use the Communications Service to track phone calls and text messages between you and real estate professionals so that we and the real estate professional can access certain details about the contact. As part of this process, we and the Communications Service will receive in real time, and store, data about your call or text message, including the date and time of the call or text message, your phone number, and the content of the text message. You consent to these practices by us and the Communications Service. The information is subject to the Privacy Policy.
- COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT
RealTracs and the Services follow the safe harbor provisions of 17 USC § 512, otherwise known as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe that information or content on the Services infringes on your copyright, please visit our DMCA Policy for further instructions.
- TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS
Our goal is to provide complete, accurate, and up-to-date information on the Services. Unfortunately, it is not possible to ensure that any website is completely free of human or technological errors. The Services may contain typographical mistakes, inaccuracies, or omissions, and some information may not be complete or current. RealTracs therefore reserves the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to change or update information at any time without prior notice.
- EXCLUSION OF OTHER WARRANTIES
No employee, agent, representative, or affiliate of RealTracs has authority to bind RealTracs to any oral representations or warranty concerning the Services. Any written representation or warranty not expressly contained in this Agreement will not be enforceable.
- DISCLAIMER; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
YOU AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES SHALL BE AT YOUR SOLE RISK. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, REALTRACS IS LICENSING THE SERVICES AND ALL CONTENT ON AN “AS-IS,” “AS-AVAILABLE,” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” BASIS AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE OPERATION OF THE SERVICES, CONTENT, INFORMATION, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS, OR SERVICES INCLUDED ON THE SERVICES. REALTRACS DISCLAIMS ALL SUCH REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND SECURITY, OR ANY WARRANTIES CONCERNING THE COMPLETENESS OR ACCURACY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS AND OMISSIONS) OF ANY OF THE INFORMATION YOU OBTAIN THROUGH THE SERVICES OR OTHERWISE FROM REALTRACS, AS WELL AS ALL WARRANTIES ARISING BY USAGE OF TRADE, COURSE OF DEALING, OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE. IN ADDITION, REALTRACS DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE INFORMATION ACCESSIBLE VIA THE SERVICES IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT. REALTRACS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE OPERATIONAL, UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR VIRUS-FREE. WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY OR LOSS ARISING OUT OF ANY ACTION TAKEN IN RELIANCE ON THE SERVICES AND/OR ANY CONTENT, TOOLS, APPLICATIONS, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES PROVIDED ON THE SERVICES.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ANY CONTENT AND/OR DATA DOWNLOADED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SERVICES IS USED AT YOUR OWN RISK AND THAT YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM THE DOWNLOAD OF SUCH CONTENT, MATERIAL AND/OR DATA. REALTRACS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. PLEASE NOTE THAT SOME JURISDICTIONS MAY NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU BUT SHALL APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF REALTRACS AND/OR ITS LICENSORS AND ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICES, OR OTHERWISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING RELIANCE BY CLIENT ON ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED THROUGH USE OF THE SERVICES; MISTAKES, OMISSIONS, DELETIONS, OR DELAYS IN TRANSMISSION OF SUCH INFORMATION; INTERRUPTIONS IN DATA CONNECTIONS TO THE SERVICES; AND VIRUSES OR FAILURES OF PERFORMANCE; WHETHER CAUSED IN WHOLE OR PART BY NEGLIGENCE, ACTS OF GOD, DATA CONNECTION FAILURE, OR THEFT OF, DESTRUCTION OF, OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO SERVICES AND RELATED INFORMATION, RECORDS, AND PROGRAMS, WHETHER UNDER CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00). THIS IS A COMPREHENSIVE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY THAT APPLIES TO ALL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSS OF DATA, INCOME OR PROFIT, LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, AND CLAIMS OF THIRD PARTIES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS OF LIABILITY IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES. CONSEQUENTLY, SOME OF THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY SUCH PROVISION IN LAW, REGULATION, OR CODE THAT HAS SUCH INTENT OR EFFECT.
IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF NEW JERSEY, TO THE EXTENT NEW JERSEY LAW PROHIBITS THE LIMITATIONS AND/OR EXCLUSIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, SUCH LIMITATIONS AND/OR EXCLUSIONS SHALL NOT APPLY TO YOU.
- INDEMNITY
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless RealTracs, its affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, co-branders, subsidiaries, parents, employees, and agents, and, at our sole election, defend the foregoing, from any claim, demand, liability, dispute, damage, cost, expense, or loss, (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and fees of other professionals) and costs of litigation, arising out of or in any way related to your use of or access to the Services, your use of the Content, your violation of this Agreement, or your violation of any rights of a third party.
- LIMITATION ON ACTIONS
You agree that any claim, dispute, or cause of action arising out of this Agreement or your use of the Services must be filed within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arose or it shall forever be barred, notwithstanding any statute of limitations or other law to the contrary. Within this period, any failure by RealTracs to enforce or exercise any provision of this Agreement or related right shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
- DISPUTE RESOLUTION
You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to your use of the Services requires that the claim be resolved exclusively by confidential binding arbitration except that, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate Intellectual Property Rights, RealTracs may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief. The arbitration shall be conducted before three neutral arbitrators in the State of Tennessee, U.S.A., in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as then in effect. No claims of any other parties may be joined or otherwise combined in the arbitration proceeding. Unless otherwise expressly required by applicable law, each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees without regard to which party is deemed the prevailing party in the arbitration proceeding. Except for punitive and consequential damages (which may not be awarded), and subject to this Agreement, the arbitrators shall be authorized to award either party any provisional or equitable remedy permitted by applicable law. The parties shall equally share all AAA charges and fees associated with the arbitration.
BECAUSE THE USE OF THE SERVICES REQUIRES THE ARBITRATION OF ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES EXISTING BETWEEN THE PARTIES, NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PURSUE THAT CLAIM IN COURT OR BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR ANY OTHER COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATORS’ DECISION WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING. OTHER RIGHTS THAT EITHER PARTY WOULD HAVE IF SUCH PARTY WENT TO COURT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT DISCOVERY OR TO APPEAL, MAY BE LIMITED OR UNAVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
The award of the arbitrators may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party consents (a) to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Tennessee, or to any federal court located within the State of Tennessee for any action. (i) to compel arbitration, (ii) to enforce any award of the arbitrators, or (iii) at any time prior to the qualification and appointment of the arbitrators, for temporary, interim, or provisional equitable remedies, and (b) to service of process in any action by registered mail or any other means provided by law. Should this Section 20 be deemed invalid or otherwise unenforceable for any reason, it shall be severed and the parties agree that exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be in the state or federal courts having jurisdiction over the State of Tennessee.
- GENERAL
If any provision in this Agreement is found to be invalid, the parties agree that the court or arbitrator should give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to act with respect to a breach by any visitor using the Services does not constitute a waiver of its right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee without regard to its choice-of-law provisions. In the event of any conflict between foreign laws, rules, and regulations and those of the United States, the laws, rules and regulations of the United States will govern. RealTracs may assign its rights and duties under this Agreement without notice to you. You may not assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent, and any assignment in contravention of the foregoing shall be null and void. This Agreement, as posted from time to time on the Services, and any modifications to the foregoing, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with regard to the subject matter in this Agreement and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, as to the subject matter.
