6.1 TCPA Compliance

Platform Users are responsible for ensuring that all buyers who receive SMS or voice communications via AskListing have provided valid prior express written consent as required by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (47 U.S.C. § 227) and applicable FCC regulations. AskListing provides standard-compliant consent language for use in listing materials, QR codes, and lead forms. You are responsible for deploying that consent language at every point of lead capture and for maintaining consent records.

AskListing's voice assistant uses AI-generated speech classified as "artificial or prerecorded voice" under FCC Declaratory Ruling FCC 24-17. You acknowledge this classification and represent that you have obtained required consents before enabling voice features on any listing.

6.2 Accurate Listing Information

You are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of all listing information, property details, documents, and marketing materials you provide to AskListing. The AI responds to buyers based on the information you supply. AskListing does not verify listing data and is not responsible for inaccurate AI responses that result from inaccurate information you provide.

6.3 Fair Housing Compliance

You agree to comply with the Fair Housing Act and all applicable state and local fair housing laws. You must not configure or instruct the AI assistant in any way that would result in discriminatory responses based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, disability, or any other protected class. AskListing reserves the right to suspend listings or accounts where we have reasonable belief that fair housing violations are occurring.

6.4 Lead Handling

Buyer leads delivered through AskListing are for your use in connection with the relevant listing. You agree to handle buyer lead data in compliance with applicable privacy laws, including any state privacy laws applicable in your jurisdiction, and in accordance with the consents obtained from those buyers.

You represent and warrant that you hold all required real estate licenses in good standing for the jurisdictions where you use AskListing, and that you will promptly notify us if your license is suspended, revoked, or lapses.

IN NO EVENT SHALL ASKLISTING'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE PLATFORM EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO ASKLISTING IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for certain damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you in full.

14. TCPA Compliance Responsibility

Platform Users acknowledge that compliance with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and applicable FCC regulations is their responsibility. AskListing provides tools and standard consent language to assist with compliance, but AskListing is not your TCPA compliance counsel and does not guarantee that your use of the platform will be TCPA-compliant in all circumstances. You are solely responsible for:

You agree to indemnify and hold AskListing harmless from any TCPA claims, FCC enforcement actions, or related regulatory proceedings arising from your use of the platform's SMS or voice features.

15. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep confidential any non-public information of the other party that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure.

16. Term and Termination

These Terms are effective from when you first use the platform and continue until terminated. We may suspend or terminate your access immediately, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or any applicable law. You may terminate your subscription at any time per Section 4.3.

Upon termination: (a) your right to access the platform ceases immediately; (b) provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, and 18) will survive.

17. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

18. Dispute Resolution: Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

Please read this section carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with AskListing and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.

18.1 Informal Resolution

Before initiating arbitration, you agree to first contact AskListing at legal@asklisting.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. AskListing will similarly attempt to resolve any claims with you informally.

18.2 Binding Arbitration

If informal resolution fails, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the platform (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (for buyers) or Commercial Arbitration Rules (for Platform Users), as applicable. The arbitration will be conducted in English. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding, and judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

18.3 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND ASKLISTING AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If this waiver is found unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim will be excluded from arbitration and may be brought in court.

18.4 Exceptions

Either party may seek emergency injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm pending arbitration. Small claims court actions are also exempt from this arbitration provision.

18.5 Opt-Out

You may opt out of the arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by sending written notice to legal@asklisting.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out." Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.

19. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated with at least 30 days' advance notice to Platform Users via email to the address on your account. For buyers who do not have accounts, we will update the "Last Updated" date and post a notice on our website. Your continued use of the platform after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
