Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern access to the MLS data tool operated by The Caldwell Group and Roebling Collective, each brokered by eXp Realty (together, "we," "us"), provided through the MLS connector and related interfaces (the "Service"). The Service draws on the Northern Kentucky MLS ("NKMLS") and the MLS of Greater Cincinnati ("Cincy MLS," and together with NKMLS, the "MLSs"). By redeeming an access code, activating a key, or using the Service, you ("you," "your") agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

The Service is offered only to individuals who are current, active members in good standing of NKMLS, Cincy MLS, or both. You represent that you hold the membership covering each market you access, and that your access to that MLS's data is permitted under your own membership. We may verify membership at any time and may suspend or revoke access if we cannot confirm it.

Your access key is entitled to specific markets. A key entitled to Kentucky does not grant access to Cincy MLS data, and a key entitled to Ohio does not grant access to NKMLS data. Attempting to reach a market your key does not cover is a violation of these Terms.

2. Your access

Access is personal to you, non-transferable, and non-exclusive. Your API key is like a password. You are responsible for keeping it confidential and for all activity under your key. You may not share, sell, sublicense, or transfer your key or your access to any other person or entity, including others within your brokerage.

Trial access, if granted, runs for the period stated when your access code is issued. When a trial ends, access continues in a limited "lite" lookup mode unless we end it. We may change, limit, or discontinue any tier or feature at any time.

3. Permitted use

You may use the Service for your own legitimate real estate activities as a member of the MLS covering that market, such as researching properties, running comparisons, and informing your work with clients. That is it.

4. Prohibited use

You will not, and will not permit anyone else to:

• Scrape, harvest, bulk-download, or systematically extract data from the Service, or use the Service to build or populate any dataset, database, index, or cache beyond your ordinary individual use.
• Redistribute, resell, republish, or otherwise make available to any third party the data or output obtained through the Service.
• Use the Service, or any data or output from it, to build, train, improve, or operate any product, model, or service that competes with the Service or with Caldwell Group.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, probe, or attempt to discover the source code, tools, prompts, or underlying methods of the Service.
• Circumvent or attempt to circumvent any usage limit, access control, authentication, or rate limit.
• Use automated means to access the Service at a volume or rate beyond ordinary individual human use.
• Use the Service in any way that violates the rules of NKMLS or Cincy MLS, your MLS membership terms, the applicable MLS data license, the Fair Housing Act, or any applicable law.

5. MLS data ownership

All MLS data made available through the Service is owned by the originating MLS and its participants, and is provided subject to that MLS's rules and the applicable data license. Kentucky data is governed by NKMLS; Ohio data is governed by Cincy MLS. Nothing in these Terms grants you any ownership of, or license to, that data beyond what your own membership in that MLS already permits. The Service is an interface. It does not expand your data rights.

6. Intellectual property

The Service, including its tools, workflows, interface, prompts, methods, and all related software and content, is the property of Caldwell Group and Roebling Collective and their licensors. These Terms do not grant you any license to it other than the limited right to use the Service as described here. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

7. Monitoring and revocation

We log usage for security, audit, and abuse prevention. We may suspend or revoke your access at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including suspected violation of these Terms, suspected data harvesting, or loss of membership in either MLS. Revocation is effective immediately.

8. No warranty

The Service and all data and output are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the data is accurate, complete, current, or fit for any particular purpose. You are responsible for independently verifying any data before relying on it, including in any client-facing use.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Caldwell Group and Roebling Collective will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or business, arising out of or relating to your use of or inability to use the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed one hundred dollars ($100).

10. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the revised Terms.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Kenton or Boone County, Kentucky.
