You may also agree to have the information you have supplied to MLSLO forwarded to real estate or other third-party professionals referred by MLSLO. As MLSLO uses email, on an almost exclusive basis, to provide MLSLO services, all MLSLO users must consent to receive Email from MLSLO to register for MLSLO services. MLSLO users will also be required to consent to receive emails or phone calls from third party(ies) if the MLSLO service requested requires services from a third party(ies)(for example, a local real estate agent).

To assure the value of MLSLO's services, you agree that all of the information you have provided to MLSLO, whether online or otherwise, is accurate and complete. MLSLO reserves its right to terminate or suspend access to any user information that is alleged to be inaccurate or misleading. You agree to allow MLSLO to provide this information to its real estate agent network and its partners including, but not limited to, United General Title Insurance Company.

MLSLO may refer real estate professionals to you, but MLSLO does not engage in real estate broker services. Real Estate brokerage activities are performed by local Real Estate Professionals that have been referred to you by MLSLO.

For its services MLSLO may receive payment including, but not limited to a referral fee that may be a percentage of the commission received by the real estate professionals involved in the real estate transaction. MLSLO's payment is due based on an agreement between MLSLO and the real estate professional involved. Your registration with MLSLO and use of MLSLO services constitutes your acknowledgment of, and agreement to, this compensation arrangement.

MLSLO may from time to time offer promotional opportunities to encourage use of MLSLO's services within a particular time frame. These opportunities may include but are not limited to discounts, rebates, gift certificates, or other incentives that are only available to those who use an MLSLO-affiliated real estate professional to buy or sell a home.
