TERMS OF SERVICE

1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

By accessing, using, or engaging with the services provided by Price Compass ("Price Compass," "we," "us," or "our"), you ("Client," "you," or "your") acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Price Compass.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use our services or access our website. Your continued use of our services following any changes to these Terms constitutes acceptance of those changes.

These Terms apply to all users of our services, including without limitation users who are browsers, clients, customers, and any other contributors of content or information.

2. SERVICE DESCRIPTION

Price Compass provides strategic home pricing guidance utilizing comprehensive market data analysis. Our services are designed to assist homeowners, prospective sellers, and real estate professionals in making informed pricing decisions.

Our core services include:

Home Pricing Strategy: We analyze your property characteristics, local market conditions, economic indicators, and comparable properties to develop customized pricing strategies tailored to your specific goals and circumstances.

Comparative Market Analysis: We provide detailed analysis of recently sold properties, active listings, and expired listings in your area to establish accurate market value ranges for your property.

Offer and List Price Guidance: We deliver data-driven recommendations for setting list prices or evaluating purchase offers based on current market dynamics, property conditions, and timing considerations.

Our services are advisory and consultative in nature. Price Compass provides information, analysis, and recommendations but does not act as a real estate broker, agent, appraiser, or legal advisor. We do not list properties, facilitate transactions, or provide formal appraisals. Our analyses and recommendations are intended to inform your decision-making process and should be considered as one component of your overall real estate strategy.

The specific scope, deliverables, timeline, and pricing for services will be outlined in separate service agreements or engagement letters provided to each client.

3. USER OBLIGATIONS

By using our services, you agree to the following obligations:

Accurate Information: You will provide complete, accurate, and truthful information about your property, financial situation, goals, and any other relevant factors. You understand that the quality and accuracy of our analysis depends substantially on the information you provide.

Property Access: When applicable, you will provide reasonable access to the property for evaluation purposes, including scheduling viewings and providing documentation such as floor plans, previous appraisals, inspection reports, and disclosure statements.

Timely Communication: You will respond to our requests for information and clarification in a timely manner and will notify us promptly of any material changes to your circumstances or property that may affect our analysis.

Lawful Use: You will use our services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You will not misrepresent your identity, provide false information, or use our services for any fraudulent or illegal purpose.

Confidentiality: You will maintain the confidentiality of any login credentials, account information, or proprietary methodologies disclosed to you and will not share such information with unauthorized third parties.

Independent Verification: You acknowledge that our services provide guidance and recommendations, not guarantees. You agree to conduct your own due diligence, consult with appropriate professionals including real estate agents, attorneys, and financial advisors, and make independent decisions regarding your real estate transactions.

Prohibited Uses: You will not use our services or materials to compete with Price Compass, reverse engineer our methodologies, or reproduce, distribute, or commercialize our reports or analyses without express written permission.

4. APPOINTMENT SCHEDULING AND CANCELLATIONS

Scheduling: Appointments for consultations, property evaluations, and strategy sessions may be scheduled through our website, email, or other designated communication channels. All appointments are subject to availability and confirmation by Price Compass.

Cancellations by Client: If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, you must provide notice at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled appointment time. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours notice may result in cancellation fees as specified in your service agreement.

Cancellations by Price Compass: We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule appointments due to emergencies, illness, or circumstances beyond our control. In such cases, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you as soon as possible and will work with you to reschedule at no additional charge.

Rescheduling: Appointment rescheduling is subject to availability. We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate rescheduling requests, but cannot guarantee availability at your preferred time.
