KW Terms of Service for Ylopo, LLC Products

Please read these Terms of Service carefully.

These Terms of Service (this “Agreement”) are between you and Keller Williams Realty, Inc. (“we,” “our,” or “us”) and governs your use of Ylopo, LLC (“Ylopo”) products and services offered through the KW Marketplace (the “Services”). This Agreement is in addition to the terms of service between us and you governing your use of the KW Command mobile application (the “Command TOS”) or the KW Marketplace, as well as any specific terms of service that you may enter with Ylopo directly. If there is any conflict between this Agreement and the Command TOS, this Agreement shall prevail.

By using the Services, you are bound by the terms of this Agreement and any changes to it. References to “you” and “your” in this Agreement mean the individual using the Services, any designees or virtual assistants of the individual, and any business organization you represent, are employed by, or are a member of for which you are using the Services in support of.

1.Changes. We may change this Agreement by notifying you by any reasonable means, including posting a revised Agreement through the Services. The “Last Updated” legend shows when this Agreement was last changed.

2. Regulatory Compliance. You agree to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations, and/or rules, including but not limited to, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act,47 U.S.C. § 227 and its implementing regulation 47 C.F.R. § 64.1200 (collectively, the “TCPA”), any applicable Do Not Call (DNC) lists, and all similar state laws and regulations related to any communication initiated by or on behalf of you, including but not limited to any communication initiated by any person or entity engaged by you. You represent, warrant, and covenant that you will: (a) not call or text any numbers on any applicable Do Not Call (DNC) list without obtaining prior consent from the intended recipient; (b) not use any automatic telephone dialing system (ATDS) without obtaining prior express written consent from the intended recipient; (c) not call or text anyone who requests to be placed on your internal Do Not Call (DNC) list or revokes consent to be called or texted; and (d) not call or text outside of federal and state day and time restrictions. You also represent, warrant, and covenant that you have a written DNC policy that is available upon demand, you maintain an internal DNC list that has a record of consumers who have requested not to receive further telemarketing calls or texts from you, you have access to the National Do Not Call Registry through your own account or through another account (such as one of our market centers), and you will synchronize any call or text lists you maintain and use for telemarketing with an updated version of the Registry at least every 31 days.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU VIOLATE THE TCPA OR THE DNC RULES OR ANY OTHER FEDERAL OR STATE TELEMARKETING LAWS YOU FACE POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC LEGAL DAMAGES FOR WHICH YOU, AND NOT US, OUR AFFILIATES, OR EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, OR DIRECTORS OF US OR OUR AFFILIATES, ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE AND LIABLE. We recommend that you consult your legal advisor to determine if your telemarketing practices comply with the TCPA and DNC rules and applicable state laws.
