Last Updated: October 25th, 2024
1. Acceptance of the Terms of Use
These terms of use are entered into by and between you and Serhant Real Estate, Inc. and its affiliate and subsidiary companies (collectively, “we”, “our” or “us”). The following terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, “Terms of Use”), govern your access to and use of our website(s) (the “Website”), including any content, functionality, and services offered on or through our website(s) (collectively, and together with the Website, the “Services”). The Services contain material such as software, text, graphics, displays, images, photographs, audio, video, and other material, including without limitation the design, selection and arrangement thereof (collectively, the “Content”) provided by or on behalf of us.
Please read the Terms of Use carefully before you start to use the Services. BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND AND ABIDE BY THESE TERMS OF USE AND OUR PRIVACY POLICY INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE PRIVACY POLICY, YOU MUST NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES.
THESE TERMS OF USE CONTAIN A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS. BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS OF USE AND THE ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISION, YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO BRING A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
The terms “you” and “your” refer to an individual registering with or accessing any or all of the Services. You represent that you have the full right, power, and authority to enter into and perform these Terms of Use without the consent of any third party.
We fully support the principles of the Fair Housing and the Equal Opportunity Act.
2. Changes to the Terms of Use
We may revise, update, or replace these Terms of Use from time to time in our sole discretion and without notice. All changes are effective immediately when we post them and apply to all access to and use of the Services thereafter. However, any changes to the dispute resolution provisions set out herein will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice before the date the change is posted on the Website.
Your continued use of the Services following the posting of revised Terms of Use means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page from time to time so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.
3. Use of the Services

Recurring credit/debit card payments from Agents are processed securely through a third-party, Intuit QuickBooks Merchant Payments (https://connect.intuit.com/payor-terms-of-service). Please review the terms of service for rights and restrictions. If any terms of the Brokerage Agreement conflict with any of the terms of these Terms of Use, the terms of the Brokerage Agreement shall prevail. Any fees charged by us are subject to change from time-to-time in our sole discretion. In the event of a change in fees, we will attempt to notify Agent in advance of the change by sending an email to the email address associated with Agent’s account. Any user other than an Agent affiliated with us that holds any type of real estate license, including without limitation a brokers’, associate brokers’, or salespersons’ license must immediately advise us before that user may access any password-protected material including, but not limited to, listing data or other data compilations. We reserve the right to deny or terminate access to any real estate licensee who is not an Agent , except for the real estate licensee’s limited purpose of accessing the Website for verifying compliance with MLS/RLS rules.
- Service Changes; Suspension.
We reserve the right to withdraw, amend, or stop the Services in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Services are unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict or suspend access to some or all the Services to users, including registered users. Your continued use of the Services after any change or limitation constitutes your acceptance thereof.

13. Agreement To Arbitrate Disputes; Waiver Of Jury Trial; Class Action Waiver
IMPORTANTLY, PLEASE REVIEW THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS. MANDATORY ARBITRATION IS A WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO BRING SUIT IN COURT.
- Arbitration; Waiver of Jury Trial.
YOU AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US (WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DISPUTE INVOLVES A THIRD PARTY) WITH REGARD TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DISPUTES RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF USE, YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, AND/OR RIGHTS OF PRIVACY AND/OR PUBLICITY, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION UNDER THE RULES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION APPLYING NEW YORK LAW, AND YOU AND WE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY. DISCOVERY AND RIGHTS TO APPEAL IN ARBITRATION ARE GENERALLY MORE LIMITED THAN IN A LAWSUIT, AND OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION. This dispute resolution provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and not by any state law concerning arbitration. In the event the American Arbitration Association is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within one hundred and sixty (160) days of filing the case, then either we or you can elect to have the arbitration administered instead by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS).
As set forth in the “Equitable Relief” section below, nothing in these Terms of Use will prevent us from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to protect our proprietary information.
Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies, or awards that conflict with these Terms of Use.
- No Class Action.
NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION FOR ANY CLAIMS COVERED BY THESE TERMS OF USE. YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST US INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS. You also agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person’s account, if we are a party to the proceeding.
14. Equitable Relief
You acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach or threatened violation of our intellectual property rights and confidential and proprietary information by you, we will suffer irreparable harm and will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce these Terms of Use. We may, without waiving any other remedies under these Terms of Use, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim, equitable, provisional, or injunctive relief that is necessary to protect our rights and property pending the outcome of the arbitration referenced above. You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in the State of New York for purposes of any such action by us.
15. Digital Millennium Copyright Act
If you believe that any materials on the Services violate your copyright, please see our DMCA Copyright Policy for instructions on sending us a notice of copyright infringement. It is our policy to terminate the user accounts of repeat infringers.

- Governing Law.
These Terms of Use will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
