Terms of Service

Information We Collect and How We Collect It

EffectiveAgents.com is a data-driven matching service that connects top real estate agents around the US with motivated and determined home buyers and sellers. Our service serves as a communication conduit between you and our hand-picked Real Estate Agent partners. The service that we provide to both buyers and sellers of real estate and real estate professionals is governed by a few terms that are outlined below.

Because we are an online service, we don't ask you to deal with and physically sign a lengthy contract. The terms of our contract with you are set forth below in plain language. If you don't agree with the terms, then we ask you please to leave this Web site. If you do use this Web site, then that action will serve as your agreement to be bound by our terms of service.

EffectiveAgents.com is a web service that is wholly owned and operated by Acuity Real Estate Services, LLC, a licensed real estate brokerage in Florida and is in compliance with all state and federal housing laws.

1. You grant EffectiveAgents.com permission to display on our Web site and elsewhere information that we have gathered or you have supplied related to any of the real estate transactions that you have handled as a real estate professional. This information helps our mutual clients better understand your strengths and sales performance history.
2. Our platform is referral based, and during the sign up process you will digitally sign a referral agreement with us. When we connect you with a referral then you agree to pay us a Referral Fee on the gross commission your firm earns on each transaction involving the prospect. This agreement is valid and enforceable for multiple transactions and it is your obligation to keep us informed of your progress with our referred clients. The terms for this Referral Fee (the fine print) are located on your Profile page under the “Agreement” icon. Referral fees are common in real estate and without them, our service would not be possible.
3. You are responsible for maintaining your own professional liability insurance policy, a valid real estate license and for following all applicable real estate laws regarding disclosures, documentation and other brokerage responsibilities. In addition, you are responsible for the real estate brokerage services provided to your clients and agree to indemnify, defend and hold EffectiveAgents.com harmless from any claims, costs, and damages incurred by us arising from claims by your clients regarding the brokerage services you have provided.
4. Your participation in our service is voluntary and can be terminated by either of us for any reason at any time with written notice. However, any referrals made prior to such termination are still bound by this agreement, and Referral Fees will be due upon close of any transactions resulting from such referrals.
5. In connection with the referrals, you agree to be contacted by EffectiveAgents.com and its referrals via phone, email, sms text message, mail or other reasonable means.
6. You further agree that you will not forward our referrals to any other party without our written consent. Any referral fee that your earn by forwarding our clients to a third-party brokerage must be paid in full to Acuity Real Estate Services, LLC within 10 days of receipt of such funds.
7. Any information that you provide to us shall be accurate, complete and owned by you, and you agree to update any information that is or becomes inaccurate. Of course, if we discover that any information is inaccurate we may correct it ourselves. You hereby grant us permission to e-mail or display your Profile (including your name, likeness, contact information and transaction details) and such other information as may be supplied by you on or from our Web site “www.effectiveagents.com” and such other partner and affiliate websites as we deem appropriate.
8. You agree that we may modify the services provided, these terms of service or the price charged for our services at any time. We will send you an email thirty days in advance of any significant changes of our services, terms of service or prices, and you agree that your continued use of our services after the notice period means that you accept the new terms and any subsequent referrals or services shall be governed by the new terms.
9. You agree that these public “terms of service” compliment and are in addition to the terms of service contained with our fully executed and digitally signed referral agreement housed in your account.

Terms for Buyers and Sellers

All non-real estate professionals (including prospective Buyers and Sellers and their representatives whether personal or professional) who are involved with and use our Web site must agree with the following terms:

1. Our purpose as a data-driven agent matching service is to make a professional introduction between you and up to three of our Real Estate Agent partners. Of course, this introduction involves sharing the contact information of each party with the other. When you submit information to us, you authorize us to use and provide this information to make an appropriate match. By providing this information to us, you consent to being contacted by us and by our partner real estate professionals via phone, email, sms text message, mail or other reasonable means.
2. In order to best help you, we need you to provide information that is accurate and complete, especially your contact information so that our Real Estate Agent partners can contact you quickly and efficiently. We reserve the right to supplement, amend, or correct inaccurate submissions or to suspend or terminate access to anyone who supplies information that is intentionally inaccurate or misleading.
3. You understand that while we may refer real estate professionals, we do not perform real estate brokerage services in the traditional sense. Any Real Estate brokerage activities are performed by local Real Estate Professionals that have been referred to you. We do not endorse, recommend or otherwise know the terms of any agreement between you and a real estate professional.
4. You understand that for our services we may receive payment (a referral fee) that may be a percentage of the commission received by the real estate professionals involved in the real estate transaction. There is no direct charge to you for the user of our service. Any payment is due based on a separate agreement between us and the real estate professional involved. Your use of our services constitutes your acknowledgment of, and agreement to, this compensation arrangement.
5. Your participation in our service is voluntary and can be terminated by either of us for any reason at any time with written notice. However, any referrals made prior to such termination are still bound by the agreement that we may have with a real estate professional.

8. Applicable Law And Jurisdiction
   1. If your country of residence or establishment is the United States, these Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida and the United States of America, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions. All parties herein consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in the Sixth Judicial Circuit Pinellas County, Florida.
9. Non Disparagement
   1. The Parties agree that they will not, directly or indirectly, individually or in concert with others, engage in any conduct or make any statement that is calculated or likely to have the effect of undermining, disparaging other otherwise reflecting poorly upon the reputation of any other Party hereto or upon any other Party's goodwill, products, or business opportunities or that is any manner detrimental to their respective officers, directors, agents, representatives, or employees, past or present.
   2. The provisions of this Section 9 are material terms of this Agreement, the absence of any of which would have resulted in the Parties refusing to enter into this Agreement. Any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 9 will result in irreparable injury to the party about whom the non-permitted conduct or statement pertains (the “Injured Party”) and a remedy at law alone will be an inadequate remedy. Therefore, in addition to any other remedies an Injured Party may have, an Injured Party shall be entitled to enforce the non-disparagement covenants against a breaching Party and obtain temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or other surety and the breaching Party will not assert in any manner that the Injured Party's remedy at law is adequate as a defense to any petition for injunctive relief. Specifically, in the event a Member states materially false statements about Effective Agents and such statements are rendered falseby a court of competent jurisdiction, the Parties agree to liquidated damages in the amount of $20,000.00 as payable to Effective Agents. The Parties acknowledge that it would be difficult, if not impossible, to determine the actual damages to an Injured Party as a result of a breach of this Section 9 and that the amount of liquidated damages provided herein is a reasonable estimate of the actual damages that an Injured Party would sustain if another Party breached.
10. General Provisions
    1. Except as they may be supplemented by additional terms and conditions, policies, guidelines or standards, these Terms constitute the entire Agreement between Effective Agents and you pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Effective Agents and you in relation to the access to and use of the Effective Agents Platform.
    2. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Effective Agents as a result of this Agreement or your use of the Effective Agents Platform.
    3. These Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties.
    4. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be struck and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
    5. Effective Agents's failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by us in writing. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise permitted under law.
    6. You may not assign, transfer or delegate this Agreement and your rights and obligations hereunder without Effective Agent's prior written consent. Effective Agents may without restriction assign, transfer or delegate this Agreement and any rights and obligations hereunder, at its sole discretion, with 30 days prior notice. Your right to terminate this Agreement at any time remains unaffected.
