This Agreement may not be otherwise amended except in writing signed by you and a designated officer of SRET.

1. A Venue

The Website is an offer platform and not a Reserve Auction and not an absolute or minimum bid auction with an auctioneer; it’s a venue. Although we are commonly referred to as a bidding platform, it is important to realize that we are not a traditional auctioneer. Instead, the Website is simply a place to upload offers to homes for sale. The Offer Platform, which acts as a venue to allow licensed real estate agents to offer or sell real property in a visible auction-style format. The role of the Website is limited to publishing and advertising information provided by sellers and their agents (“Sellers”) and providing a venue for communication about the Offer Platform.

The Website offers advertising and current offers information pertaining to the home for sale only. This Agreement is meant to clarify the Website’s limited role as a publisher of advertising and venue provider, and outline certain limitations regarding the Website’s obligations and liabilities. Your use of the Website confirms your understanding and acceptance of this.

User Agreement.

2. Agents Advertisements

The Website’s offer landing pages involve legally binding offers to sell. They are also a way for Sellers to advertise their assets to potential buyers. The Website does not act in the capacity of a real estate professional and, as a result, has no control over the truth or accuracy of the information conveyed or the quality, value or title to the home advertised.

3. Real Estate License Disclosure

The Website does not purport to broker transactions. The Website is not responsible for and does not engage in listing, brokering, selling, purchasing, exchanging or leasing of real estate posted on the Website; nor does it provide a “multiple listing service” as that term is traditionally used for real estate. The Website does not counsel sellers or buyers on their sale or purchase, show real estate, negotiate sales contracts, or hold a position of trust and confidence.

Accordingly, no brokerage agency or fiduciary relationship is intended to be or shall be deemed to have been created between the Website and any seller or buyer or you regarding the use of the Website. Further, we have no opinion regarding the ability of a Seller to sell specific real estate nor can we ensure that a Buyer or Seller will actually complete a transaction.

4. The Offer Process

4.1 Online Offers.

Online offers uploaded on the Website and all activity that may require a real estate or other license such as a real estate listing agreement, research, and placement of information on the Website, negotiation of a sale with a buyer and/or a Seller and other real estate-related sale activities are conducted by companies and individuals who have represented themselves as licensed real estate professionals.

4.2 Registered Users (Premium Members).

In order to access certain parts of the Website you must join the Smart Offer Platforms “Premium Membership”. To register as a User, the disclosure of certain information to the Website is required. After validation of the registration the User may log in to the Website to view more information about homes for sale, and perform other functions not available to non-members who are not logged in. The Privacy Policy is included by reference.

4.3 Sellers.

Sellers of real estate on the Website must be represented by a real estate professional (“Broker”). Sellers and their Brokers determine the Terms and Conditions regarding Property sales on the Website. The listing agreement and the related offer addendum define the Terms and Conditions under which a Property is offered. The Website is a venue to assist the Seller and the Seller’s Broker in marketing their Property, but provides no services that require a real estate license in any jurisdiction.

In order to post a listing on the Website, a Broker must have a valid listing agreement executed by the Property owner (“Seller”).

5.5 Liability.

If a Seller or Website determines that Qualified User has breached any provision of this Agreement, the Seller or Website may, at their sole discretion, exercise any or all legal or equitable rights or remedies to which they are entitled on account of Qualified User’s breach.
