Platform User Agreement and Terms of Service
Back to LegalThis Platform User Agreement and Terms of Service (this "Agreement") applies to the WyzeGyde® services platform used by real estate agents and homeowners.
Please note, this Agreement does not apply to general browsing and use of our website (https://wyzegyde.com). Terms of Use for the WyzeGyde® website may be found here [https://wyzegyde.com/legal/].
WyzeGyde, Inc. ("WyzeGyde", "WyzeGyde®", "we", "us") owns and operates the WyzeGyde® platform (the "Services"). By accessing the Services, you ("User" or "you") agree to be bound by this Agreement. In addition, you represent that you are 18 years of age or older and are lawfully able to enter into this contract.
Because we are an online service, we do not ask you to physically sign a lengthy contract. However, the terms of our contract with you are set forth below. This Agreement supplements and is an integral part of the service features generally described on our website. If you do not agree with this Agreement or the general service features described on the website, then you should not use the Services provided by the platform. If you do use the Services, then doing so will serve as your consent to be bound by this Agreement.
WyzeGyde® is operated in compliance with all state and federal housing laws.
Services
The Services include a suite of software tools designed to help real estate agents and homeowners compare purchase offers from various online purchasers (commonly called "iBuyers"). We may, in our sole discretion, change or discontinue any features of the Services at any time and without liability to Users.
For homeowners listing a property on our platform, the Services are provided at no cost and the non-exclusive listing agreement described below commences upon our receipt of the necessary information to list the property for iBuyer offers.
The Services offered to real estate agents are subscription-based services. When an agent subscribes for the Services, he or she agrees to pay all charges associated with the Services and the subscriber's account. These include monthly subscription fees and fees for listed properties that are in excess of any complimentary listings included with the agent's subscription.
We reserve the right to change the amount of, or basis for determining, any fees or charges for Services we provide, and to institute new fees, charges or terms, but you will be notified of any such change.
An agent's right to use the Service or a specific product is conditional upon our receipt of payment. If payment is not received, we reserve the right to immediately either suspend or terminate such access and account, thereby terminating this Agreement and all Owner obligations hereunder. Agent users are required to pay any amounts still owed to us at the time your account is suspended or terminated.
Our Services for real estate agents begin as soon as the initial subscription payment is processed. Agents will be charged, and agree to pay in exchange for our Services, the rate specified, every month, until cancellation.
Should an agent User cancel during any month of an active subscription, the payment for that month is non-refundable, and our Services will continue until the end of that month's billing period. Fees will not be pro-rated for any partial month of subscription.
Cancellations can be made any time via our website or by notifying us in writing.
In exchange for registration and any applicable fees, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, we grant Users a non-transferable, non-exclusive right to access and use the Service. We reserve the right to terminate any User's license with respect to the Services or all or part of our website at any time for any reason. We agree that we will notify any User when, and if, we decide to terminate such User's license.
Terms of Non-Exclusive Property Listing
Prior to entering into this Agreement with you, as a non-exclusive listing, applicable law requires that we make certain disclosures to you, as follows: (1) advise you of the types of relationships available through WyzeGyde®, which are set forth herein; (2) advise you of any other relationships held by WyzeGyde® which would conflict with any interest of yours actually known to WyzeGyde®; please note, that the platform may be used by other WyzeGyde's affiliated Users to represent other sellers regarding sales of property which may be in direct competition with the sale of your property; (3) advise you as to WyzeGyde's compensation and whether WyzeGyde® will share such compensation with other brokers who may represent other parties to the transaction; WyzeGyde's compensation and sharing arrangements are set out below; (4) advise you of WyzeGyde's obligation to keep certain information confidential.
By listing a property on the platform and by using the Services you represent that you are the homeowner or otherwise have all requisite authority to list the property for sale. You further represent that you have the right to upload all data that you provide on behalf of yourself and, any property owner or other person that you represent. When you accept this Agreement, WyzeGyde's relationship to you will be as an independent contractor and a limited agent. "Limited agent" means that the we may, acting under the authority of this Agreement, solicit offers to purchase real property subject to this Agreement without being subject to your control, except as to the result of the work. WyzeGyde, as a limited agent, shall not be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship or fiduciary obligation with you (or any party), except as may be expressly provided otherwise by law, nor shall WyzeGyde® or WyzeGyde's affiliated licensees be considered your employees. Each User warrants and represents that they are not a party to any other listing agreement other than as disclosed to WyzeGyde® on the platform.
WyzeGyde® will make disclosures to prospective buyers about your property in reliance on information you provide. Your obligation to disclose material adverse facts about the listed property, particularly latent or hidden defects, is not changed by this Agreement. All defects in the listed property which adversely affect its value shall be disclosed.
Each User warrants and represents that the information with respect to any property listed for sale on the platform is true and correct and that User has fully and accurately disclosed all pertinent information with respect to such property, including defects therein, if any, and that WyzeGyde® is authorized to convey all such information to all prospective buyers. WyzeGyde® will treat all prospective buyers honestly and will not knowingly give them false information. WyzeGyde® shall keep confidential any information you expressly ask WyzeGyde® to keep confidential unless specifically prohibited by law. However, despite the foregoing, WyzeGyde® will timely disclose to prospective buyers all material adverse facts pertaining to the physical condition of the property, including, but not limited to, material defects in the property, environmental contamination, and facts required by statute or regulation to be disclosed which are actually known by WyzeGyde, particularly if such defects could not be discovered by a reasonably diligent inspection of the property by the buyer. WyzeGyde® shall not be liable to a buyer for providing false information if the false information was provided to WyzeGyde® by you and if WyzeGyde® did not have actual knowledge that the information was false. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit any of your obligations under any applicable law to disclose to prospective buyers all material adverse facts actually known by you pertaining to the physical condition of the property, nor shall it limit the obligation of prospective buyers to inspect the physical condition of the property. No cause of action shall arise on behalf of any person against WyzeGyde® for revealing information in compliance with this paragraph.
Broker may show alternative properties to buyers and provide information. WyzeGyde's platform shows multiple properties to various iBuyers. WyzeGyde® does not breach any duty or obligation to you by showing alternative properties to prospective buyers. Due to the nature of the Services, WyzeGyde® may also provide information on other properties which may be in competition with your property. Certain properties on the platform may be marketed by a company affiliated with WyzeGyde, and such property may be competitive with other listed properties on the platform.
In consideration of WyzeGyde's agreement to act as a limited agent for and on behalf of a homeowner to obtain offers for a listed property on the platform, each homeowner listing their property on the Service does hereby authorize and grant to WyzeGyde® the right and power to list the property for sale and obtain offers from buyers via the Services from the date of listing the property until termination or cancellation in accordance with Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the "Expiration Date"). WyzeGyde® is specifically authorized to market the property and to receive and present purchase offers for each property listed on the platform.
WyzeGyde® Compensation. Each User agrees to WyzeGyde's compensation from subscription fees and property listing fees. These fees, paid by real estate agents, are our compensation for the Services.
A selling User shall and hereby does authorize the closing attorney or settlement agent to deliver to WyzeGyde® a copy of any settlement statement or integrated disclosure prepared in anticipation of and upon the completion of any closing contemplated hereunder. Once a contract is entered and in connection with closing, each selling End-User agrees to cooperate with any settlement agent, title company or closing attorney engaged to handle the closing of the listed property or provide title insurance in connection therewith by executing such authorizations as may be necessary to collect documents necessary to provide clear title to the listed property, such as lien payoffs, mortgage payoffs or account statements from third parties. Seller agrees to execute at closing any documents reasonably necessary or required under state or federal law in order to complete the sale of the Property, including, but not limited to, any documents required under applicable law regarding withholding requirements of owners.
WyzeGyde® and each User shall abide by all federal, state and local laws, and shall assist one another in reporting any suspicious or unlawful activity such as mortgage fraud to appropriate law enforcement, mortgage company and title company personnel. Specifically, WyzeGyde® and each User agree they will not discriminate against any prospective buyer because of race, color, sex, religion, handicap, familial status, national origin, gender identity or sexual orientation of such person in accordance with applicable federal and state laws.
As to any matters not covered by our duties in this Agreement, we are not an expert, and an User selling property on the platform is encouraged and advised to seek expert advice and to retain appropriate experts such as environmental engineers, termite inspectors, engineers, surveyors, plumbers, contractors, property inspectors, lawyers, accountants and the like, as such person may deem appropriate. Each User using our Services expressly acknowledges that we are not an expert in matters relating to the condition or construction of the Property and the surrounding neighborhood, including, but not limited to, any structural, safety, title, environmental, financial, tax, legal or health concerns, or issues regarding the surrounding community, future or current real estate development, mortgage fraud or municipal services offered to local residents, and has given no advice nor made any representations in regard thereto upon which such User has relied. Each User using the Services releases WyzeGyde® and any affiliated agent and employee from any cost, expense or liability that may result from such User's reliance on any perceived advice given with respect to the foregoing.
Each User of the Services shall indemnify and hold WyzeGyde® harmless as provided in the section entitled "Indemnification" below.
