    NO WARRANTY. The Services may be unavailable from time to time for maintenance or other reasons. Housequarters shall have no responsibility for any interruption, delay in operation or transmission, unauthorized access to, or alteration of, the Services or any Content. ALL USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE SERVICES AND ANY CONTENT AND INFORMATION PRESENTED ON THE WEBSITE OR VIA THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, TIMELINESS, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, RELIABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR SAFETY. HOUSEQUARTERS AND ITS AFFILIATED COMPANIES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND OTHER REPRESENTATIVES (COLLECTIVELY, “HOUSEQUARTERS PARTIES”) MAKE NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT THE WEBSITE, CONTENT OR SERVICES, OR THE CONTENT OF ANY WEBSITES LINKED TO THE WEBSITE OR SERVICES AND ASSUME NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY (I) ERRORS, MISTAKES, OR INACCURACIES OF CONTENT, AND (II) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF OUR SECURE SERVERS AND/OR ANY AND ALL PERSONAL INFORMATION OR OTHER INFORMATION STORED THEREIN. THE HOUSEQUARTERS PARTIES DO NOT WARRANT, ENDORSE, GUARANTEE OR ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY SERVICE OR PRODUCT ADVERTISED OR OFFERED BY A THIRD PARTY THROUGH THE SERVICES OR ANY HYPERLINKED WEBSITE OR OTHER ADVERTISING, AND NONE OF THE HOUSEQUARTERS PARTIES WILL BE A PARTY TO OR IN ANY WAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MONITORING ANY TRANSACTION BETWEEN YOU AND THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN.

    WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, NEITHER THE HOUSEQUARTERS PARTIES NOR THEIR LICENSORS WARRANT THAT ACCESS TO THE WEBSITE, CONTENT, AND SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR THAT THE WEBSITE, CONTENT AND SERVICES WILL BE ERROR-FREE; NOR DO THEY MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM USE OF THE SERVICES. NEITHER THE HOUSEQUARTERS PARTIES NOR THEIR LICENSORS WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES ARE FREE FROM VIRUSES, WORMS, TROJAN HORSES, OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. HOUSEQUARTERS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT, WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE, OF YOU OR ANY USER.

    SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES SO SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

    IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF A JURISDICTION THAT REQUIRES A SPECIFIC STATEMENT REGARDING RELEASE THEN THE FOLLOWING APPLIES. FOR EXAMPLE, CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS MUST, AS A CONDITION OF THESE TERMS, WAIVE THE APPLICABILITY OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH STATES, “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” YOU HEREBY WAIVE THIS SECTION OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE AND ANY SIMILAR PROVISION IN LAW, REGULATION, OR CODE THAT HAS THE SAME INTENT OR EFFECT AS THE AFOREMENTIONED RELEASE.

    LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL THE HOUSEQUARTERS PARTIES OR THEIR LICENSORS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PERSON CLAIMING THROUGH OR UNDER YOU FOR ANY LOST DATA, LOSS OF PROFIT, REVENUE, GOODWILL, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, OR FOR ANY COST OF PROCURING SUBSTITUTE GOODS, SERVICES OR INFORMATION, OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, ARISING FROM YOUR ACCESS OR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SERVICES, INCLUDING THE WEBSITE AND OUR APPLICATIONS, OR ANY OF THE CONTENT OR OTHER MATERIALS ON, ACCESSED THROUGH OR DOWNLOADED FROM THE WEBSITE OR OUR APPLICATIONS, EVEN IF THE HOUSEQUARTERS PARTIES ARE AWARE OF OR HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE HOUSEQUARTERS PARTIES SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM OR IN RELATION TO HACKING, TAMPERING OR OTHER UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVICES, OR YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH THE HOUSEQUARTERS PARTIES OR ANY OTHER USE OF THE SERVICES.

    IN NO EVENT SHALL THE HOUSEQUARTERS PARTIES’ TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES EXCEED THE AMOUNTS, IF ANY, YOU PAID TO US FOR THE SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE ACTION GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY EVEN IF THE ABOVE STATED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

    YOU AGREE THAT THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER PROVISIONS IN THESE TERMS THAT LIMIT LIABILITY ARE ESSENTIAL TERMS OF THESE TERMS AND THAT HOUSEQUARTERS WOULD NOT BE WILLING TO GRANT YOU THE RIGHTS SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS BUT FOR SUCH LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY; YOU ARE AGREEING TO THESE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY TO INDUCE HOUSEQUARTERS TO GRANT YOU THE RIGHTS SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS.

    Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

    The Services are made available from Housequarters’s facilities in the United States. Housequarters makes no representations that the Services are appropriate or available for use your geographic location, whether within or outside of the United States. Those who access or use the Services from other jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are entirely responsible for compliance with all applicable United States and local laws and regulations, including but not limited to export and import regulations. You may not use the Services if you are a resident of a country embargoed by the United States, or are a foreign person or entity blocked or denied by the United States government. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, all materials found on the Services are solely directed to individuals, companies, or other entities located in the United States.

    INDEMNITY. You agree to indemnify and hold the Housequarters Parties harmless from any claim, cause of action, suit, proceeding, or demand, whether brought by third parties or otherwise, due to or arising out of your breach of these Terms and any use of the Services other than as expressly permitted in these Terms, and to pay any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses, judgments and awards, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. The foregoing indemnity obligations will survive any termination of the Terms or your use of the Services. Housequarters may, at its own expense, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, which will not excuse your indemnity obligations under this section. You agree not to settle any matter subject to the foregoing indemnification obligations without the express consent and approval of Housequarters.

  15. ARBITRATION AND GOVERNING LAW
  16. There may be instances when you feel that HOUSEQUARTERS may not be fulfilling its obligations or you may have a different type of problem or dispute that needs special attention. In those instances, HOUSEQUARTERS is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution that satisfies you; however, we can only do this if we know about and understand your issue. Therefore, for any problem or dispute that you may have with HOUSEQUARTERS, you acknowledge and agree that you will first give HOUSEQUARTERS an opportunity to resolve your problem or dispute. This includes you first sending a written description of your problem or dispute within thirty days of the Services being performed by sending an email to: info@housequarters.com.

    You then agree to negotiate with HOUSEQUARTERS in good faith about your problem or dispute. This should lead to resolution, but if for some reason your problem or dispute is not resolved satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after HOUSEQUARTERS's receipt of your written description of it, you agree to the further dispute resolution provisions below.

    You agree that the sole and exclusive forum and remedy for any and all disputes and claims that cannot be resolved informally and that relate in any way to or arise out of your use of the Site, the Services, any booked and performed Service Order(s), and these Terms and Conditions, shall be final and binding arbitration, except to the extent that you have in any manner infringed upon or violated or threatened to infringe upon or violate HOUSEQUARTERS's or any third party patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, privacy or publicity rights, in which case you acknowledge that arbitration is not an adequate remedy at law and that injunctive or other appropriate relief may be sought by HOUSEQUARTERS and/or the applicable third party(ies). You and we acknowledge that the Agreement affects interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to arbitrations under the Agreement (despite any other choice of law provision).

    Arbitration under these Terms and Conditions shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA"). For claims of less than $75,000, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for claims over $75,000, the AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Upon your filing of the arbitration demand, we will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees for claims that total less than $75,000. For claims that total more than $75,000, the payment of filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules. You and we agree to pay our own other fees, costs, and expenses, including those for any attorneys, experts, and witnesses. An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief and attorneys' fees. In addition, for claims under $75,000 as to which you provided notice and negotiated in good faith with HOUSEQUARTERS as required above before initiating arbitration, if the arbitrator finds that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to a recovery of reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. Except for claims determined to be frivolous, HOUSEQUARTERS agrees not to seek an award of attorneys' fees in arbitration even if an award is otherwise available under applicable law. As a limited exception to the agreement to arbitrate, you and we agree that you may take Claims to small claims court, if your Claims qualify for hearing by such court.

    To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, NO ARBITRATION OR OTHER CLAIM UNDER THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SHALL BE JOINED TO ANY OTHER ARBITRATION OR CLAIM, INCLUDING ANY ARBITRATION OR CLAIM INVOLVING ANY OTHER CURRENT OR FORMER USER OF THE SITE OR THE SERVICES, AND NO CLASS ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE PERMITTED. In the event that this CLASS ACTION WAIVER is deemed unenforceable, then any putative class action may only proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration.

    WE BOTH AGREE THAT, WHETHER ANY CLAIM IS IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT, YOU AND HOUSEQUARTERS BOTH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL INVOLVING ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN US.

    In no event shall any claim, action or proceeding by you related in any way to the Site, the Services, or these Terms and Conditions be instituted more than one (1) year after the cause of action arose.

    Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the AAA and the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without reference to principles of conflicts of laws or choice of law rules. For any actions for which either party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief, at Housequarters’s request, you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state court located in Suffolk Country, Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, and you hereby waive all defenses for lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to such courts.

  17. MISCELLANEOUS
  18. Assignment. You may not assign, delegate or transfer these Terms or your rights or obligations hereunder, or your Services account, in any way (by operation of law or otherwise) without Housequarters’s prior written consent.

You will be responsible for paying, withholding, filing, and reporting all taxes, duties, and other governmental assessments associated with your activity in connection with the Services, provided that the Housequarters may, in its sole discretion, do any of the foregoing on your behalf or for itself as it sees fit. The failure of either you or us to exercise, in any way, any right herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated, to the minimum extent necessary, so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. You and Housequarters agree that these Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding between you and Housequarters, and supersede and cancel all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of these Terms. The headings and captions contained herein will not be considered to be part of these Terms but are for convenience only. You hereby acknowledge and agree that you are not an employee, agent, partner, or joint venturer of Housequarters, and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind Housequarters in any respect whatsoever. Except as expressly set forth in the section above regarding the iOS Application, you and Housequarters agree there are no third party beneficiaries intended under these Terms. Unless stated otherwise, all remedies provided for in these Terms shall be cumulative and in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies available to either party at law, in equity, or otherwise.

    The failure of the HOUSEQUARTERS Parties to insist upon strict adherence to any term of these Terms and Conditions shall not constitute a waiver of such term and shall not be considered a waiver or limit that party's right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of these Terms and Conditions.

    You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim of cause of action arising from or relating to use of this Site, the Services, or these Terms and Conditions must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or will be forever barred. The "Disclaimer; Limitation of Liability" provisions of these Terms and Conditions are for the benefit of HOUSEQUARTERS Parties as defined herein, and each of these individuals or entities shall have the right to assert and enforce these provisions directly against you on its own behalf.

  19. MLS Terms of Use
  20. Before we can show you pictures and prices of sold homes, or show you comments on active listings, our MLS data providers require you to acknowledge that you're considering Housequarters as your real estate agent.

    NOTE: you have no obligation to work with a Housequarters Agent to buy or sell a home. You can choose to work with us or not.

    • You are entering into a lawful consumer-broker relationship with Housequarters as defined by applicable state law. You have no obligation to work with Housequarters and you can terminate your account with Housequarters any time. Any information you obtain from the Housequarters website is intended for your personal, non-commercial use.
    • You have a bona fide interest in the purchase, sale, or lease of real estate on the Housequarters website.
    • You will not copy, redistribute, or retransmit any of the information provided except in connection with your consideration of the purchase or sale of an individual property.
    • You acknowledge that the individual multiple listing service (MLS), which supplies the listing data, owns such data and you acknowledge the validity of the MLS's copyright to such data.
    • Housequarters also explicitly authorizes MLS employees, MLS members, or their duly authorized representatives to access Housequarters' website for the purposes of verifying compliance with MLS rules and monitoring the display of Participants' listings on Housequarters' site.

    Information Aggregation Housequarters is not responsible for any errors in displayed information or delays in displaying information. All information on the Sites is either transmitted to Housequarters from other entities or persons or was obtained through publicly available government sources. Issues of data accuracy may be brought to the attention of Housequarters by sending feedback but it is likely that such information accuracy cannot be corrected by Housequarters and the entity or person that generated the information must be appealed to. For example: incorrect listing information can only be changed by the third party listing agent under our terms with the MLSs.
