PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS SITE.

By accessing and using this Web site at www.propertypal.com (the "Site"), you explicitly agree to comply with and be bound by the following terms and conditions (the "Terms of Use"), which Property Pal may change at any time. Please review these terms and conditions periodically and check the version date for changes.

General

Property Pal and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, "Property Pal") provide you with access to this Site and the services available on it, or other Web sites as indicated below (collectively, the "Services"). Access to and use of the Services is governed by these Terms of Use.

Services

The Services include the Property Pal Site. The Services may also be located on third party Web sites and/or applications either as a link from an add-on service to, or otherwise in connection with, Web sites and/or applications that such third parties control. Nothing contained in any of the Services is an offer or promise to sell a specific product for a specific price or that any advertiser will sell any product or service for any purpose or price or on any specific terms. Property Pal does not guarantee the price, terms, product, availability and/or services offered by any advertiser. For all of the Services, Property Pal is not involved in any transactions between you and any of its advertisers, and is not responsible for, and does not guarantee the price or performance of any goods, services or information provided by advertisers. If you have a dispute with one or more advertisers, you release Property Pal from any claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.

User Submitted Content

You are solely responsible for any Content and other material that you submit, publish, display or link to on the Site. You may not post, distribute, or reproduce in any way any copyrighted material, trademarks, or other proprietary information without obtaining the prior written consent of the owner of such proprietary rights. You may not submit any Content or material that infringes, misappropriates or violates the intellectual property, publicity, privacy or other rights of any party or is violative of any laws. You will at all times agree to not purposely provide false or misleading information on the Service.
You agree that by posting content on the Site, you are granting Property Pal a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license to use this information in the course of offering the Services. You understand that Estate Mate does not endorse or warrant any particular content or information available via the Site. Additionally, we cannot guarantee the authenticity of any data which users may provide about themselves.
For specific advice on legal, financial or real estate matters, you should always seek the advice of a professional who is licensed and knowledgeable in that area, such as an lawyer, accountant or real estate agent or broker.
Property Pal may delete any Content that in the sole judgment of Property Pal violates these Terms of Use or which may be offensive, illegal or violate the rights, harm, or threaten the safety of any person. Property Pal assumes no responsibility for monitoring the Services for appropriate Content or conduct. If at any time Property Pal chooses, in its sole discretion, to monitor the Services, Property Pal nonetheless assumes no responsibility for the Content, no obligation to modify or remove any inappropriate Content, and no responsibility for the conduct of the User submitting any such Content.

Modification Of Property Pal Services

Property Pal reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Service or a portion or attribute thereof, or the offering of any information, good, content, product or service with or without notice. Property Pal shall not be liable to you or any third party should Property Pal exercise its right to modify or discontinue the Service or part of it.

Disclaimer of Responsibility for Third Party Content

Property Pal is not a publisher of content supplied by third parties and users of the Site.

Choice Of Law, Waiver, And Claims

These Terms of Use shall be governed by the laws of Northern Ireland without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Property Pal’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Use will not be deemed to be a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Use is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Use remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

Modification

Property Pal may change, add to or delete these Terms of Use or any portion thereof from time to time at its sole discretion.
