Hometrino Terms of Use

By accessing, browsing, creating an account, submitting information, or otherwise using the Hometrino website or any related pages, tools, features, or services (collectively, the "Platform"), you agree to these Terms of Use ("Terms").

If you are using the Platform on behalf of a company, brokerage, team, or other organization, you confirm that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms. In that case, "you" includes both you and that organization.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date above. Your continued use of the Platform after updates become effective means you accept the updated Terms.

2. Definitions and Hometrino's Role

2.1 Definitions

For clarity, the following terms have the meanings below:

• "Hometrino," "we," "us," or "our" means Hometrino, LLC.
• "Platform" means the hometrino.com website and any related pages, tools, features, communications, and services we make available, including any future mobile applications.
• "User," "you," or "your" means any person or entity that accesses or uses the Platform.
• "Listings" means property listings and related information that may be displayed on the Platform, including listing status, price, photos, descriptions, property features, and other details.

2.2 Hometrino's Role

Hometrino operates a real estate information and marketing Platform. The Platform may help users research properties and connect with real estate professionals, but Hometrino does not:

• provide real estate brokerage services (unless explicitly stated on a specific page),
• act as a buyer's agent, seller's agent, landlord's agent, or dual agent,
• participate as a party in any transaction, or
• guarantee that any real estate transaction will occur or close.

Any decision to buy, sell, rent, lease, finance, or otherwise transact in real estate is made solely by you and the relevant third parties involved in that transaction.

No Professional Advice

The Platform is provided for general informational purposes only. Hometrino does not provide legal, tax, financial, appraisal, insurance, lending, or investment advice. While the content is drafted by experts, it is provided for informational purposes only. You should consult qualified professionals for advice specific to your situation.

Advertising and Monetization

The Platform may include advertisements and may facilitate connections between users and Professionals. Hometrino may receive compensation related to advertising, placement, or lead delivery. Compensation does not imply endorsement, verification, or a recommendation of any Professional or service.

14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

14.1 Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to the Platform shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

14.2 Agreement to Arbitrate

Except for claims eligible for small claims court or claims seeking injunctive relief related to intellectual property, you and Hometrino agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Platform, your use of the Platform, any Listings or Content, or any communications or interactions facilitated by the Platform shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration, rather than in court.

14.3 Arbitration Procedure

Arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis, administered by a nationally recognized arbitration organization, conducted in the State of Florida unless otherwise required by law, and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator shall have authority to award damages or relief available under applicable law, subject to the limitations set forth in these Terms.

14.4 Class Action Waiver

You and Hometrino agree that arbitration shall be conducted only on an individual basis, neither party may bring claims as a plaintiff or class member in a class, collective, representative, or consolidated action, and the arbitrator may not consolidate claims of multiple parties. You expressly waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.

14.5 Jury Trial Waiver

To the extent any dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, you and Hometrino waive any right to a jury trial.

14.6 Exceptions

Nothing in this Section prevents either party from filing an individual claim in small claims court or seeking temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in court to prevent unauthorized use of intellectual property or confidential information.

14.7 Time Limitation for Claims

Any claim arising out of or relating to the Platform must be filed within one (1) year after the cause of action arises. After that time, the claim is permanently barred to the fullest extent permitted by law.

14.8 Survival

This dispute resolution provision survives termination of these Terms and your use of the Platform.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional written agreements expressly referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and Hometrino regarding your use of the Platform. These Terms supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals, representations, or agreements, whether oral or written.

15.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. The invalidity of one provision does not affect the enforceability of any other provision.

15.3 No Waiver

Hometrino's failure to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of that provision or the right to enforce it later. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Hometrino.

15.4 Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, or delegate your rights or obligations under these Terms without prior written consent from Hometrino. Hometrino may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, at any time without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate restructuring, or sale of assets.

15.5 Force Majeure

Hometrino shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, acts of government, internet service interruptions, power failures, cybersecurity incidents, labor disputes, pandemics, and third-party service outages.

15.6 Relationship of the Parties

Nothing in these Terms creates any partnership, joint venture, employment, agency, or fiduciary relationship between you and Hometrino. You acknowledge that Hometrino is an independent platform provider.

15.7 Survival

The following Sections survive termination of these Terms and your use of the Platform: Intellectual Property, User-Generated Content License, Disclaimers of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Dispute Resolution, and Miscellaneous Provisions.
