Your use of the Site is subject to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms. The Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information about you and includes additional disclosures and rights. Please review it carefully.
We provide property search and related features through Showcase IDX and two Multiple Listing Services (MLS): First Multiple Listing Service (FMLS) and Georgia Multiple Listing Service (GAMLS). By using these features, you agree to:
Use MLS data solely for your personal, non‑commercial home‑search purposes;
Not copy, aggregate, scrape, reproduce, display, or distribute MLS content except as expressly permitted; and
Comply with all applicable MLS/IDX rules and policies.
No guarantee. Property listings and market data are provided by third parties and are deemed reliable but not guaranteed. All properties are subject to prior sale, change, or withdrawal. Square footage, lot size, school and tax information, and other facts should be independently verified by you.
Required notices & legends. Showcase IDX automatically injects the required FMLS/GAMLS legends, logos, listing office identification, and DMCA references on listing results and detail pages, including when listings from multiple MLSs are commingled. We follow FMLS and GAMLS placement, prominence, and wording requirements through this integration and will update displays as those MLS rules change.
Equal Housing. Motto supports and abides by the Equal Housing Opportunity laws. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other protected characteristic.
No Agency Created by Site Use. Viewing the Site or communicating with us through the Site does not create a broker‑client or agency relationship. Any representation requires a separate written brokerage agreement signed by you and Motto (or our affiliated licensees).
The Site may link to third‑party websites or integrate third‑party services (including Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Showcase IDX, Follow Up Boss, mapping providers, mortgage calculators, and payment processors). We do not control and are not responsible for third‑party sites or services. Your use of them is subject to their terms and privacy policies.
We may introduce you to third‑party providers (e.g., mortgage lenders, title companies, inspectors) upon your request. These providers are independent and not controlled by us; we do not guarantee their services. Where required by law, we will provide disclosures of any marketing or referral relationships.
If you post, upload, or otherwise submit content to the Site (“User Content”), you represent that you own or have all rights necessary to do so and that your User Content is accurate and lawful.
You grant Motto a non‑exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty‑free, sublicensable and transferable license to host, store, use, reproduce, modify, create derivative works, publish, publicly perform, publicly display, and distribute your User Content in connection with operating, improving, and promoting the Site and our services. This license survives termination of these Terms.
Feedback. If you submit suggestions, ideas, or feedback (“Feedback”), you grant us the right to use it without restriction or compensation to you.
You agree not to submit User Content that is illegal, infringing, defamatory, deceptive, obscene, harassing, hateful, or otherwise objectionable; that contains personal information of others; or that contains viruses, malware, or other harmful code.

The Site, including its content, design, software, logos, and trademarks, is owned by Motto or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable license to access and use the Site for personal, non‑commercial purposes. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright, you may submit a notice under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512).

We may terminate accounts of repeat infringers.

A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;

If your content was removed or disabled and you believe it is not infringing (or you have authorization from the copyright owner, the owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law), you may send a counter‑notification that includes:
Your physical or electronic signature;
Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access was disabled;
A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good‑faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material; and
Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside the United States, for the Northern District of Georgia, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice or an agent of such person.
Send your counter‑notice to our Designated Agent listed above. If we receive a valid counter‑notice, we may restore the material within 10–14 business days unless we receive notice that the original complainant has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity.
We may, in appropriate circumstances, disable and/or terminate accounts of users who are repeat infringers. We may also reject notices or counter‑notices that contain false information, are incomplete, or are submitted in bad faith.
THE SITE, LISTING INFORMATION, MARKET DATA, AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON‑INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE ERROR‑FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE SITE IS FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
ALL INFORMATION IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL, TAX, FINANCIAL, OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVICE. YOU SHOULD CONSULT APPROPRIATE PROFESSIONALS ABOUT YOUR SPECIFIC SITUATION.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL MOTTO OR ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SITE.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100) OR THE AMOUNTS (IF ANY) YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY; IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Motto and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms or your use of the Site.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, with or without notice, for any reason. Upon termination, the rights and licenses granted to you will terminate, and you must cease all use of the Site. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive (including §§ 4–7 and 9–18).
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflict‑of‑laws rules.
Informal Resolution. Before filing any claim, you and Motto agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by sending a written “Notice of Dispute” to the other party describing the issue and the requested relief. If the dispute is not resolved within 60 days after the notice is received, either party may commence arbitration (or small‑claims, if eligible).
Small‑Claims Exception. Either party may bring an individual action in small‑claims court in the county of your residence or Fulton County, Georgia instead of arbitration.
Binding Arbitration & Class Action Waiver. Except for small‑claims as described above, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by AAA under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. Arbitration will take place in Fulton County, Georgia, or by videoconference, unless we agree otherwise. YOU AND MOTTO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
Opt‑out. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by sending an email to info@mottorealty.com with subject line: “Arbitration Opt‑Out” and your full name and contact information. If you opt out or if arbitration is found unenforceable, you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia.
The Site is controlled from the United States and is not intended for use in jurisdictions where such use would be contrary to law. We make no representation that the Site is appropriate or available for use outside the U.S.
These Terms (together with the Privacy Policy and any other policies referenced herein) constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site and supersede prior agreements. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them without restriction. We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform due to causes beyond our reasonable control (force majeure).
