1. Agreement to the active legal stack
By accessing or using OpenOffer Properties, a user agrees to the then-current Terms of Use, Legal Center, and Privacy Policy that apply to the user's activity and to any transaction-specific acknowledgment presented before a gated action. Users must be at least 18 years old, legally capable of entering applicable agreements, and permitted to use the platform in their location. OpenOffer may require renewed acknowledgment when the legal stack or a protected workflow materially changes.
2. Accounts, credentials, verification, passkeys, and recovery
Users must provide accurate information, control only accounts they are authorized to use, protect credentials, devices, passkeys, and recovery methods, and report suspected unauthorized access. Users may not share accounts in a way that obscures attribution, create deceptive accounts, submit another person's identity evidence, evade suspension, or interfere with verification. OpenOffer may rotate or revoke sessions, require reauthentication or reverification, suspend recovery, or require additional evidence when security or authority is uncertain.
3. Authority is server-controlled; intent is not authority
A role selector, URL, query parameter, browser state, local storage value, client-controlled cookie, photo, address, map match, or user statement does not grant backend authority. Authority is determined through authenticated server-side permissions and record-specific access. Administration or Founder inspection does not convert that person into a buyer or seller and does not permit silent participant actions.
4. Neutral participant-directed digital platform
OpenOffer provides software and platform rules and does not represent, advise, negotiate for, or owe fiduciary duties to either side of a property opportunity. Users are responsible for their own decisions, proposed terms, communications, due diligence, legal compliance, and professionals. OpenOffer may verify eligibility, enforce rules, moderate conduct, protect privacy, and administer a workflow without becoming a transaction participant or representative.
5. Participant-authored offers, counters, messages, and decisions
Every offer, counter, acceptance in principle, decline, withdrawal, message, acknowledgment, consent, and contact-release decision must be the explicit action of an authenticated participant. Users may not impersonate another person, submit false or discriminatory information, manipulate records, use automation to create unauthorized actions, or represent that OpenOffer authored, selected, endorsed, or recommended their terms.
6. No final property contract inside OpenOffer
OpenOffer records support a private direct-offer conversation and acceptance in principle. Unless a separate legally sufficient document expressly provides otherwise, an OpenOffer offer, counter, acceptance, message, payment, verification event, or acknowledgment is not the final purchase-and-sale agreement and does not transfer or encumber real estate. Participants independently handle any final contract, disclosures, financing, inspections, title, escrow, closing, deed, taxes, recording, and professional services outside OpenOffer.
7. Property identity, Camera Fast Track, claims, and disputes
Users must identify and confirm the intended property accurately. Camera Fast Track and address/map results are discovery aids only. A property claim grants only the platform access expressly approved by OpenOffer and is not proof of title, authority to convey, legal capacity, or absence of competing interests. OpenOffer may require evidence, limit scope or duration, hold activity, reject or revoke a claim, or preserve records for review.
8. SnapProof and evidence submissions
Users may submit only lawful, relevant evidence they are authorized to provide. Evidence can be rejected, quarantined, restricted, retained for an authorized hold, deleted where permitted, or routed to review. Uploading evidence does not guarantee authenticity, identity, ownership, title, authority, or approval. Users must not upload malware, unrelated sensitive data, another person's identity document without lawful authority, or content that violates privacy, confidentiality, contract, or intellectual-property rights.
9. Document Intelligence and automated assistance
Document Intelligence, when enabled, may assist with extraction, classification, organization, or field suggestions. Output can be wrong or incomplete and is not legal advice. A user must confirm information where the workflow requires it. Automated output cannot independently establish identity, ownership, property authority, title, legal rights, transaction eligibility, or contact-release authority.
10. Private negotiation and acceptable use
Users may communicate only for legitimate property-offer purposes and must remain respectful, accurate, and lawful. Users may not harass, threaten, discriminate, retaliate, defraud, spam, scrape, reverse engineer, introduce malware, evade moderation, bypass contact protections, solicit unlawful payments, expose protected data, or use the service for an illegal or deceptive purpose. OpenOffer may automatically or manually detect, mask, block, hold, preserve, or review possible bypass or abuse content.
11. Fair housing and prohibited discriminatory conduct
Users must comply with applicable fair-housing and anti-discrimination law. Users may not submit, communicate, accept, reject, steer, rank, target, or condition housing activity on a legally protected characteristic, or use coded language, profile information, identity exposure, or off-platform contact to evade those obligations. OpenOffer may hold content or release, restrict access, preserve evidence, investigate, or cooperate with lawful authorities when misuse is suspected.
12. Accessibility and communication assistance
OpenOffer seeks meaningful access to its digital service. Users may request disability-related communication assistance or an accessible format through support. Users should provide only information reasonably needed for the request. OpenOffer may provide an effective alternative when appropriate under applicable law.
13. Contact protection and mutual authorization
Direct contact remains blocked until the authoritative platform confirms every required offer, negotiation, identity, authority, acknowledgment, moderation, payment, consent, privacy, security, and release gate. Both participants must separately authorize contact exchange. Either may decline connection without exposing protected contact information. Administration may deny, delay, suspend, or revoke platform release when a dispute, fraud signal, reversal, security issue, legal restriction, authority problem, or safety concern exists, but may not consent for a participant.
14. Fees, checkout, benchmark disclosures, refunds, disputes, and chargebacks
OpenOffer Properties uses a $299 flat platform-service fee for the protected digital connection/unlock service. The fee is not calculated as a percentage of the property price, does not increase because a property is more valuable, is not a brokerage commission, is not a share of sale proceeds, and is not payment to the property owner. The exact payer, timing, service, taxes, cancellation, refund, dispute, and chargeback terms are shown before checkout. The homepage 100X LOWER comparison is a specific illustrative $500,000-home example, not a universal percentage-price claim. $299 divided by $500,000 equals 0.0598%, which rounds to about 0.06%. A 6% traditional commission benchmark on $500,000 equals $30,000. Comparing 6% with the $299 fee's 0.0598% rate-equivalent is approximately 100.3 times; the homepage rounds that comparison to 100X LOWER. The 6% figure is used only as a traditional commission benchmark. Brokerage compensation varies by transaction and market, is negotiable, can be higher or lower, and is not set by law. OpenOffer does not represent that every seller pays 6%, that 6% is a legally fixed rate, or that the $299 fee produces the same dollar savings in every transaction. The comparison addresses only the OpenOffer platform-service fee against the stated traditional commission benchmark. It does not include or promise elimination of attorney, lender, inspection, appraisal, title, escrow, closing, brokerage, tax, repair, recording, insurance, financing, or other third-party costs that a participant may separately incur. The comparison is not a guarantee of savings or transaction outcome. OpenOffer maintains a written substantiation file for objective comparison claims, including methodology, assumptions, arithmetic, launch-fee configuration, review ownership, and qualified-counsel approval where applicable. This detailed pricing disclosure controls over shorthand benchmark wording elsewhere in the service. Public-facing pricing copy must remain consistent with the actual checkout configuration. Payment does not guarantee a response, acceptance, successful negotiation, contact release, property access, or transaction completion.
15. No showing, key, lockbox, inspection, or physical-access service
OpenOffer does not authorize entry, schedule or conduct showings as a representative, possess keys, control lockboxes, supervise property visits, provide inspections, or guarantee safety or property condition. Any physical access is separately arranged and controlled by the person with lawful authority over the property and any independently chosen professionals.
16. No emergency service or continuous monitoring duty
OpenOffer is not an emergency, law-enforcement, physical-security, or crisis-response service. OpenOffer may use automated tools and human review for selected safety, moderation, fraud, and security functions but does not promise to monitor every account, property, message, attachment, release, or off-platform interaction in real time.
17. Owner alerts, signs, maps, notifications, and communications
Owner alerts require the applicable registration, verification, consent, preference, and delivery controls and do not prove title, authority, availability, or willingness to sell. Signs support the digital Direct Offer Engine and do not mean OpenOffer owns, lists, represents, controls, or guarantees the property. Public maps use privacy-safe location rules. Optional SMS, marketing, or similar communications require the applicable separate consent and controls and are not a condition of purchasing a platform service.
18. User content and limited platform license
Users retain ownership of content they lawfully submit, subject to third-party rights. A user grants OpenOffer a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, copy, process, secure, analyze, moderate, transmit, display to authorized recipients, preserve, and create technical derivatives only as reasonably necessary to provide, protect, improve, audit, enforce, or legally preserve the platform. Users represent they have the rights and authority needed to submit their content.
19. OpenOffer intellectual property and prohibited copying
OpenOffer LLC retains all rights in its protectable software, source code, interface expression, original text, graphics, documentation, compilations, brand assets, confidential know-how, and other intellectual property. No platform access grants ownership or an implied license beyond personal use of the authorized service. Except to the extent applicable law cannot permit restriction, users may not copy, mirror, frame, republish, scrape, crawl, harvest, data-mine, resell, commercially exploit, reverse engineer, decompile, bypass technical protections, remove proprietary notices, or use OpenOffer materials or confidential workflows to create, train, benchmark, or operate a competing or derivative service without written permission.
20. Trademarks and brand use
OpenOffer, OpenOffer Properties, related logos, product names, slogans, and other source identifiers may be trademarks or service marks of OpenOffer LLC. Users receive no right to register, adopt, imitate, challenge, or use a confusingly similar designation in connection with related goods or services. The symbols TM or SM may be used to claim a mark; the registered symbol is used only if and where a registration actually exists.
21. Third-party professionals, data, services, and links
Users independently choose attorneys, lenders, inspectors, appraisers, title or escrow providers, closing professionals, licensed real-estate professionals, contractors, or other providers. OpenOffer may rely on third-party hosting, database, identity, mapping, payment, storage, email, SMS, analytics, security, or support providers. Links and integrations do not by themselves imply endorsement or make OpenOffer responsible for third-party advice, data, availability, pricing, security, or conduct except where applicable law provides otherwise.
22. Electronic consent, notices, versioned records, and re-acknowledgment
Users consent to conduct eligible platform activity electronically and receive records electronically where permitted. OpenOffer may maintain versioned documents, content hashes, timestamps, authentication evidence, delivery logs, moderation records, payment events, contact-release evidence, and audit records. A material change to identity processing, authority, payment, contact release, dispute handling, privacy, or other protected workflow may require renewed acknowledgment before the next gated action.
23. Suspension, holds, termination, appeal, and survival
OpenOffer may restrict, hold, suspend, or terminate access to protect participants, investigate claims, address nonpayment or a payment dispute, comply with law, prevent abuse, or maintain the system. Where appropriate, a user may seek review through available support or Administration procedures. Provisions concerning ownership, licenses, payment obligations, disclaimers, limitations, indemnity, records, disputes, and other terms that by their nature should survive will survive termination.
24. Service availability, changes, providers, and force majeure
The service is provided on an as-available basis and may experience errors, delays, interruptions, provider or data-source limitations, maintenance, security events, or feature changes. OpenOffer may update or discontinue features, fail closed, disable a jurisdiction or lane, or update the legal stack. OpenOffer is not responsible for delay or failure caused by events beyond reasonable control, subject to rights applicable law does not permit the parties to waive.
25. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by law, OpenOffer disclaims express and implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, noninfringement, accuracy, availability, security, and transaction outcome. OpenOffer does not warrant that the platform, participant, property information, authority claim, evidence, automation, provider, payment, release, or transaction will be accurate, uninterrupted, secure, successful, suitable, lawful, or free from risk. Nothing excludes a warranty or remedy applicable law does not permit OpenOffer to exclude.
26. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, OpenOffer is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, punitive, lost-profit, lost-opportunity, lost-data, or transaction-related damages arising from user decisions, user conduct, property condition, third-party services, financing, title, closing, fraud, discrimination, infringement, unauthorized access, provider failure, or inability to use the service. To the fullest extent permitted by law, OpenOffer's aggregate liability arising from a specific platform service will not exceed the greater of the amount the claimant paid OpenOffer for that service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim or one hundred U.S. dollars. These limitations do not apply where applicable law prohibits them.
27. User responsibility and indemnity
To the fullest extent permitted by law, a user will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless OpenOffer LLC and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from third-party claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable costs arising from the user's unlawful content or conduct, misuse, material misrepresentation of authority, violation of these Terms, or infringement of another person's rights. This does not require a consumer to indemnify OpenOffer for OpenOffer's own conduct where applicable law prohibits it.
28. Copyright complaints and repeat infringement
Users must not upload or transmit infringing material. OpenOffer may remove, quarantine, disable, preserve, or restrict content and accounts when infringement is alleged or identified and may maintain a repeat-infringer policy. A public DMCA notice-and-takedown process and designated-agent information will be published only after the required designation and legal review are actually completed; OpenOffer does not claim a completed designation unless and until the required designation and public information are actually in place.
29. Governing law, venue, and informal resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maine, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except to the extent mandatory law in another jurisdiction applies. Before filing a claim, a user should send a written description to support@openofferproperties.com and allow a reasonable opportunity to investigate and seek informal resolution unless immediate relief or applicable law makes that impracticable. Unless mandatory law requires otherwise, unresolved disputes must be brought in a state or federal court with jurisdiction in Maine. These Terms do not create mandatory arbitration or a class-action waiver unless OpenOffer later presents and the user validly accepts a separate provision specifically reviewed for the applicable jurisdiction.
30. General terms, ownership transfer, and support
If a provision is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent and the remainder remains effective. Failure to enforce is not waiver. Users may not assign their rights or obligations without written consent. OpenOffer may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or platform transfer subject to applicable law. The active legal stack and transaction-specific disclosures form the agreement concerning platform use and supersede earlier platform terms on the same subject. Questions and notices may be sent to support@openofferproperties.com.
