Welcome to PropertyBin ("PropertyBin", "Platform", "we", "us", or "our"). These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern all access to and use of our web application, mobile interfaces, software services, API integrations, tools, calculators, marketing studios, and public directories (collectively, the "Services").
1.1 Eligibility & Legal Capacity
By accessing or using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence (e.g., 18 or 19 years old in Canadian provinces and territories) and possess the full legal right, power, and authority to enter into these Terms.
1.2 Modifications to Terms
We reserve the right to revise, update, or modify these Terms at any time in our sole discretion. Any changes become effective immediately upon posting to the site with an updated "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance and agreement to the modifications.
2. Scope of Services & Platform Role
PropertyBin is an information, search, directory, and software technology platform. Unless explicitly stated in writing under a separate agreement, PropertyBin is not a licensed real estate brokerage, mortgage lender, financial advisor, legal firm, or home inspection agency.
PropertyBin provides consumers and real estate industry professionals (including real estate agents, brokers, home builders, mortgage specialists, real estate lawyers, and inspectors) with an integrated digital ecosystem to discover properties, build professional profiles, calculate financial estimates, and streamline marketing workflows.
2.1 Non-Advisory Status
The information, estimates, calculators, analysis, AI-generated prompts, and listing data available on PropertyBin are for general informational, educational, and marketing utility only. They do not constitute financial advice, legal counsel, mortgage underwriting, tax guidance, or official real estate appraisals. Users must consult with qualified licensed professionals prior to entering into binding real estate purchase, sale, lease, or financing contracts.
3. User Accounts, Registration & Verification
To access certain features of PropertyBin—such as saving favorite homes, creating public professional profiles, accessing the Marketing Content Studio, managing CRM pipelines, or deploying newsletter campaigns—you must register for an account.
3.1 Account Security & Accuracy
You agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete registration data and to update your information promptly whenever changes occur. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials (including passwords) and for all activities conducted under your account.
3.2 Professional Account Verification
Users who register for or request professional status (such as Agent, Brokerage, Builder, Real Estate Lawyer, or Inspector) must provide valid licensing details, provincial regulatory registration numbers, and brokerage affiliation information where required. PropertyBin reserves the right to conduct identity, license, and FINTRAC verification checks. Submitting fraudulent, expired, or misleading professional accreditation may result in immediate suspension, termination, and reporting to relevant regulatory bodies.
4. Real Estate Listings & MLS/RETS Disclaimers
PropertyBin aggregates real estate property listings, pre-construction developments, and market intelligence from multiple data sources, including Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) systems, RETS/IDX data feeds, property developers, and registered professional users.
4.1 Listing Data Accuracy & Dynamics
Real estate market conditions, pricing, property availability, property tax assessments, room dimensions, square footage, boundary lines, and school zones change rapidly. While PropertyBin endeavors to maintain updated listings, we make no representations or warranties regarding the completeness, accuracy, or timeliness of listing information.
4.2 Independent Property Verification
Buyers, sellers, renters, and investors are strictly responsible for independently verifying all property details, title history, zoning, environmental disclosures, physical property condition, and contractual terms with licensed realtors, lawyers, and certified home inspectors before signing binding legal agreements or transferring deposits.
5. User-Generated Content & Professional Profiles
Our platform permits registered users and professionals to publish profiles, service packages, property listings, blog articles, reviews, marketing graphics, floor plans, and messages ("User Content").

By posting, uploading, or submitting User Content to PropertyBin, you grant PropertyBin a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, cache, display, reproduce, modify, format, translate, and distribute your User Content across our site, search engines, mobile apps, and promotional channels in connection with operating and marketing the platform.
5.2 Content Representations & Reviews
You represent and warrant that you own or possess all necessary rights, licenses, consents, and permissions to publish the User Content you submit. User reviews and service package offerings must reflect genuine experiences and accurate service descriptions.

When using PropertyBin, you agree to adhere to standard professional etiquette and security practices. You strictly agree that you will NOT:
- Use any robot, spider, scraper, site search/retrieval application, or other automated device to access, retrieve, index, or data-mine any portion of the platform;
