Personal Information

The transmission of your personal information on our web platform is governed by our Privacy Policy.

Errors, Inaccuracies, and Omissions

As an aggregator of real estate listings, Dwellup collects and displays information from various third-party sources. There may occasionally be, on our site or in the Service, information containing typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions related to descriptions, prices, apartment availability, or other listing details displayed. This information comes directly from the source sites, and Dwellup cannot in any way be held responsible for the accuracy of this data.

For Dwellup's own services (such as alerts and other paid features), we reserve the right to correct any error, inaccuracy, or omission, and to change or update information concerning our own services, or even cancel orders if any information concerning our services is inaccurate, at any time and without notice (including after you have placed your order).

We are not required to update, modify, or clarify listing information from third-party sources. Regarding our own services and their pricing, we strive to maintain accurate and up-to-date information as required by applicable consumer protection law.

Dwellup strives to present information with the greatest possible accuracy, but offers no guarantee as to the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of the real estate listings displayed, as these are under the exclusive responsibility of their original sources.

We do not guarantee that the results that might be obtained by using the Service will be accurate or reliable.

You accept that, from time to time, we may remove the Service for indefinite periods or cancel it at any time without notice.

Limitation of Liability Regarding Interactions with Owners

As an aggregator of real estate listings, Dwellup facilitates the discovery of rental listings but does not intervene in any way in transactions or interactions between users and property owners/managers. Therefore:

  1. No Intervention: Dwellup is not a party to communications, negotiations, or agreements between users and owners. We cannot control or guarantee the truthfulness, legality, safety, quality, or suitability of the listings or properties presented.

  2. No Verification: Dwellup does not verify the identity of owners, the validity of their offers, the legality of the proposed rental terms, or the actual condition of the properties displayed.

  3. No Recommendation: The display of a listing on our platform does not in any way constitute a recommendation, approval, or guarantee on our part regarding the property concerned or the owner.

  4. Risk of Scams and Fraud: Although we strive to maintain a quality service, we cannot guarantee the absence of scams or fraud. Users are solely responsible for taking necessary precautions, including:

    • Never sending money without having visited the property and verified the owner's identity
    • Being wary of abnormally advantageous offers
    • Never communicating sensitive bank or personal data
    • Being vigilant about requests for rushed payments or through unusual means
  5. No Monitoring of Interactions: Dwellup does not monitor communications between users and owners and does not intervene in disputes that may arise.

  6. No Contractual Responsibility: Dwellup is not responsible for the execution of rental contracts or agreements concluded between users and owners.

  7. No Liability for Consequential Damages: Dwellup cannot be held liable for direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from:

    • Any transaction or attempted transaction with an owner
    • The use or inability to use a property found through our service
    • Any fraudulent, deceptive, negligent, or illegal behavior by an owner
    • Any dangerous, unhealthy, or illegal condition of a property
  8. Reporting Problems: If you encounter suspicious or fraudulent behavior, we encourage you to report it to us and contact the appropriate authorities.

We strongly recommend that you exercise due diligence before engaging in any real estate transaction, including visiting the property, verifying the owner's identity, and consulting a legal professional for any rental contract.

Dwellup, our directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, interns, suppliers, service providers, and licensors cannot under any circumstances be held liable for any injury, loss, claim, or any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages, including but not limited to, loss of profits, revenue, savings, or data, replacement costs, or similar damages, whether based on contract, tort (even in case of negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, arising from your use of the Service or any service or product resorting to it, or any other claim related in any way to your use of the Service or any product, including but not limited to, errors or omissions in any content, or any loss or damage arising from the use of the Service or any content (or product) posted, transmitted, or made accessible through the Service, even if you have been warned of the possibility that they may occur.

Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, our liability in these provinces/states or jurisdictions will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Dwellup and our parent company, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers, interns, and employees, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your breach of these Terms of Use or the documents they reference, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.

Severability

In the event that any provision of these Terms of Use is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, such provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms of Use, without such determination affecting the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

Termination

The obligations and liabilities incurred by the parties prior to the termination date will survive the termination of this agreement for all purposes.

These Terms of Use shall remain in effect unless and until terminated by you or us. You may terminate these Terms of Use at any time by notifying us that you no longer wish to use our Services, or when you cease to use our site.

If we judge or suspect, at our sole discretion, that you are not complying with or have not complied with any term or provision of these Terms of Use, we may also terminate this agreement at any time without notice. You will then remain responsible for all amounts due up to and including the date of termination, as a result of which we may refuse you access to our Services (or any part thereof).

Entirety of the Agreement

Any failure on our part to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use does not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

These Terms of Use or any other policy or operating rule that we publish on this site or that concerns the Service constitute the entirety of the agreement and understanding between you and us, and govern your use of the Service. They replace all prior and current agreements, communications, and proposals, oral or written, between you and us (including, but not limited to, any prior version of the Terms of Use).
