Trellistate Poster Agreement

1. You are at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into binding contracts.
2. For each listing you post you (a) are the owner of the property; (b) are a duly authorized officer, member, or agent of the entity that owns the property; (c) hold a valid, current real estate license in the state where the property is located and have written authority from the seller/landlord to advertise the listing; or (d) are otherwise legally authorized to advertise the property for sale, rent, or other disposition.
3. You will obtain and maintain all licenses, permits, registrations, and consents required by federal, state, and local law to post the listing, including any required broker or salesperson licenses.
4. You have all rights necessary to grant the licenses in Section 6 below for every photo, floorplan, description, and other content you upload.

You agree to comply with all advertising and disclosure laws of the jurisdiction where the property is located, including but not limited to:

• The federal Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. § 3601 et seq., and HUD advertising guidelines (24 C.F.R. § 100 et seq.)
• The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (15 U.S.C. § 1691)
• The Americans with Disabilities Act, where applicable
• State and local fair-housing, anti-discrimination, agency-disclosure, lead-paint, mold, flood, megan’s-law, and rental-licensing statutes
• For real estate licensees: all rules of your state’s real estate commission, including required licensee identification and supervising-broker disclosures

You will not publish content that expresses a preference, limitation, or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), national origin, familial status, disability, source of income (where protected), age, military status, or any other class protected by law.

1. You are not authorized to list, including listings copied from MLS feeds or other platforms;
2. Misrepresents the property, the price, the terms, or the availability;
3. Violates Section 3 above or any other applicable law;
4. Promotes illegal activity (including unlicensed brokerage, unlicensed lending, money laundering, or rental scams);
5. Contains malware, phishing links, or attempts to harvest personal data;
6. Solicits transactions to bypass the contractual obligations of an existing listing agreement; or
7. Targets, harasses, or threatens any person or class.

You will not use Trellistate to scrape, mirror, or republish listings from any third-party portal, MLS, or aggregator. You will not use Trellistate to circumvent rate limits, impersonate another user or AI agent, or interfere with the operation of the service.

1. Any listing you mark active is intended for public distribution, including via our website, RSS and JSON feeds, public REST API, JSON-LD structured data, and to AI agents that follow our published /agents.txt and /.well-known/trellistate.json.
2. Your listing’s content (including the photos and the contact information you choose to display) may be cached, indexed, embedded in AI model outputs, and redistributed by third parties — including search engines and AI agents — and Trellistate cannot recall content that has already been distributed.
3. AI agents acting on your behalf (whether you registered them or otherwise) act under your authority. You are responsible for their actions.
4. If you opt to hide your exact address, we will redact the street address from public outputs and coarsen any coordinates you provide, but we retain the full address on file for legal and abuse-prevention purposes and may disclose it where compelled by law.

If you believe content on Trellistate infringes your copyright, send a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) to dmca@trellistate.example with: (a) your contact info; (b) the work claimed to be infringed; (c) the URL of the allegedly infringing material; (d) a good-faith statement that you believe the use is not authorized; (e) a statement made under penalty of perjury that you are the owner or authorized to act; and (f) your physical or electronic signature. We respond to valid notices within a commercially reasonable time.

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Trellistate LLC and its officers, directors, members, employees, agents, contractors, and successors (the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) arising out of or related to:

1. Any listing you post or have posted;
2. Any breach by you of this Agreement, the Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy, or any applicable law;
3. Any claim that your listing or content infringes a third party’s intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, or contract rights;
4. Any claim by a buyer, tenant, neighbor, regulator, or other party arising from the property described in your listing or any transaction you enter into (or fail to enter into) with another user;
5. Your interactions with any other user, including any disputes about price, condition, availability, or the property itself; and
6. The acts or omissions of any AI agent acting on your behalf.

Trellistate may, at its sole option and expense, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate.

The service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. Trellistate expressly disclaims all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. Trellistate does not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful code.

Trellistate makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, or legality of any listing. All listing data is supplied by users. Buyers, renters, and AI agents are responsible for independently verifying all information before acting on it, including through inspection, appraisal, title search, and consultation with licensed professionals.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will Trellistate LLC or its Indemnitees be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including lost profits, lost data, lost opportunities, or loss of goodwill — arising out of or related to this Agreement or the service, even if Trellistate has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Trellistate’s aggregate liability under this Agreement will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100.00). You agree this amount is a fair allocation of risk because the service is free.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages; in those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law.

PLEASE READ — THIS AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. Except for (i) suits to enjoin infringement of our intellectual property and (ii) small-claims actions, any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement or the service will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator, in [COUNTY], [STATE] (or by videoconference at your option). Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

You and Trellistate each waive any right to a jury trial.

You and Trellistate each waive any right to bring or participate in a class action, collective action, or representative action. If this class-action waiver is found unenforceable, then the entire Section 14 is null and void, but the rest of the Agreement remains in effect.

You may opt out of this Section 14 by emailing arbitration-opt-out@trellistate.example within 30 days of first accepting this Agreement, stating your name, email, and intent to opt out.

• Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
• Assignment. You may not assign this Agreement. Trellistate may assign to a successor in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
• Notice. We may send notices to your account email. You will send legal notices to legal@trellistate.example with a copy by certified mail to Trellistate LLC, [LLC street address].
• Entire agreement. This Agreement, together with the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, is the entire agreement between you and Trellistate regarding the service.
• Force majeure. Neither party is liable for failures caused by events beyond reasonable control.
• Independent contractors. Nothing here creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship.
