Listings Quality Policy
– Updated November 2023
Welcome and thank you for your interest in SiteBid. Users of our services (including all properties owned and operated by SiteBid, related data, and/or related services) acknowledge and agree to comply with the following Listings Quality Policy (the “Policy”). We reserve the right to remove any content that violates this Policy or any of our terms of use, other policies, or that we, in our sole discretion, consider to be inappropriate. In the event that we discover any violation, we may remove all or certain portions of your listings from SiteBid, terminate your account(s), and/or restrict your access to the SiteBid platform.
1. Advertising and Claiming Listings.
a. Advertising Listings. Except as provided in this Section 1(a), listings (regardless of the type) may only be advertised by (i) the representative (the “Agent”) who is the contracted, exclusive listing Agent for such listing, or (ii) the owner of such listing.
b. Claiming Listings. If you mistakenly claim a listing, you must promptly release such claim on the listing. You may also cancel a listing on SiteBid via the My Sites section of your account. You may delete a listing from your profile on SiteBid via the claimed listings tab of your SiteBid Account. If you claim a listing that has already been claimed by another party, the original party will be notified. Please notify the listing support team if you believe that someone has erroneously claimed a listing on SiteBid.
c. Open Listings. You are not permitted to advertise “open” listings on SiteBid.
d. Undisclosed Addresses. A complete address or latitude/longitude is required so we can authenticate listings and maintain listing quality. If we cannot verify a listing with an incomplete address, we may remove the listing at any time, without warning.
e. Hypertext Links. If the listing includes a hypertext link, the hypertext link may only link to your website and may not link to any site that is not 100% owned and controlled by you, your Agent, your MLS, or your broker.
2. Limitations on Self-Promotion and Marketing.
a. Photos and Video Walkthroughs. You may not include marketing information, including, without limitation, an Agent’s name, company name, logo, phone number, and/or email address on listing photos or in video walkthroughs, whether as text, a watermark, or otherwise.
b. Listing Descriptions. You may not include marketing information, including, without limitation, an Agent’s name, phone number, and/or email address within a listing description.
c. Profile Name and Photo. You may not include contact information, or any promotional or marketing information (including a phone number, email address, website URL, promotional tagline or slogan, or discount offer) in your profile photo or as part of your name as it appears in your profile. Your name as it appears in your profile may not include titles, descriptions, or any information other than your name or your business or team name. You may not display a business or team name in your profile other than the official business or team name under which you formally provide services to clients both on and off of SiteBid. We may require you to provide documentation to support the foregoing.
3. Code of Conduct. We believe that all people deserve to be treated equally and with respect, regardless of their race, ethnicity, nationality, class, religion, belief, sex, language, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, health, or other status. We choose to work with professionals who both share these values and embody them in their interactions with consumers, SiteBid employees, and other professionals. In the event we determine that you are not upholding these values, we may take action to ensure the integrity of the SiteBid platform, including removing any listing. We may also remove any listing in the event you are charged with or convicted of a crime, or we otherwise believe your participation on our platform could harm the reputation and/or good standing of our platform.
