Terms of Use Agreement

Last Updated: May 11, 2020

Real Rank Inc. (“Real Rank,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) offers a service to the public and to real estate brokers and agents (“brokers and agents”) that gives the public an opportunity to rank the performance of their brokers and agents and gives the brokers and agents an opportunity, by review of their rankings, to continuously improve.  The  ranking process involves a combination of a comparative assessment and a narrative assessment.  Real Rank creates the forum for this process, but does not offer its own views or reviews concerning the performance of any brokers or agents.

1. Acceptance of the Terms of Use; Changes

For the purposes set out above, Real Rank operates the website located at www.rankmyagent.com (the “Site”). By accessing the Site and/or using the Services (defined below), you agree to be bound by all the provisions of this Terms of Use Agreement (the “TOU”). If you do not accept and agree to all the provisions of the TOU, you are not authorized to access the Site or use the Services.

Real Rank may modify this TOU or add or remove terms at any time, and each such modification, addition or deletion will be effective immediately upon posting on the Site. Your use of the Site or the Services following any such posted modification, addition or deletion constitutes your agreement to be bound by and your acceptance of the TOU as so modified. It is therefore important that you review the TOU regularly. If you do not agree to be bound by all the terms of the modified TOU, you are not authorized to access the Site and/or use the Services, and you must immediately discontinue doing so.

As use in the TOU, the terms “you” and “your” mean each individual or entity that accesses, browses or uses the Services in any manner. If you are accessing the Site and/or using the Services on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant to Real Rank that you personally satisfy the eligibility criteria in Paragraph 2 below and you have the authority to bind the business to the TOU. Your agreement to these terms will be treated as the agreement of the entity you represent and if it turns out that you do not have the capacity to represent the entity, it is you personally who will be bound to these terms.

The Services, features, content, or applications that may be offered from time to time by Real Rank in connection with the Site and/or Real Rank’s business are collectively referred to as the “Services”.
