Terms of Use

Draft — integrates counsel-provided details; still needs a full attorney review before launch · Last updated October 4, 2026 (Section 9)
This draft merges two prior documents. It keeps every OFF MARKIE-specific provision (the no-brokerage disclaimer, the description of how profiles work, the partner-referral section) and fills in real entity details — legal name, address, governing law — from information you provided. One section from the source document was deliberately left out: SMS/TCPA texting-consent language, since OFF MARKIE doesn't currently collect phone numbers or send text messages. That section shouldn't appear in live Terms until a texting feature actually exists. Still needs a licensed attorney's full review before real users rely on it.

1.Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and OFF MARKIE ("OFF MARKIE," "we," "us," or "our"), operated by OFF MARKIE GROUP, INC., governing your access to and use of the OFF MARKIE website at myoffmarkie.com and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By creating an account, posting a profile, submitting a comment, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms (including the sharing of your information described in Section 9) and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2.Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet these requirements and that any information you provide is truthful and accurate.

3.Description of the Service

OFF MARKIE is a platform for posting anonymized information about a property, rental, commercial space, or business for the purpose of gauging market interest, and for prospective buyers or tenants to browse and comment on that information. Profiles on OFF MARKIE are not listings in the traditional sense: owners (and those posting on their behalf) control what is shown publicly, are not required to sell, and are not obligated to respond to or accept any interest expressed through the Service.

OFF MARKIE is not a real estate brokerage, is not a licensed real estate agent, and does not represent any user in a purchase, sale, or lease transaction. We do not prepare offers, negotiate terms, hold funds in escrow, or provide any service that requires a real estate, legal, or financial license. Any transaction that results from use of the Service is between the parties involved, and OFF MARKIE is not a party to it.

4.Accounts

You must create an account to post a profile, buyer profile, or comment. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at admin@myoffmarkie.com if you believe your password has been compromised or that any unauthorized access to your account has occurred or may occur. We may deny access or suspend your account without prior notice if we believe it is being used by someone other than you, or for any other reason described in these Terms.

You may delete your account at any time from your Account page. Deleting your account permanently removes your profiles, messages, favorites, and related data, and cannot be undone.

5.User Content & Feedback

"User Content" means any information, photos, videos, attachments, links, descriptions, or comments you submit to the Service. You retain ownership of your User Content. By submitting User Content, you grant OFF MARKIE a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute it solely for the purpose of operating, promoting, and improving the Service.

You are solely responsible for your User Content and represent that you have all rights necessary to post it — including the right to publish any photos, videos, or documents you upload, and that doing so does not violate any third party's privacy or intellectual property rights.

We do not pre-screen User Content but reserve the right, at our discretion, to remove or refuse any User Content that violates these Terms.

If you submit feedback or ideas about how to improve the Service, you agree that disclosure is voluntary and unrestricted, and that we may use it without any obligation or compensation to you.

6.Comments & Community Conduct

The Service allows buyers to publicly comment on posted profiles. Comments must be relevant, factual to the best of the commenter's knowledge, and respectful. An owner (or the person posting on the owner's behalf) may hide comments on their own profile; OFF MARKIE may hide or remove any comment that violates these Terms at its discretion. Hiding a comment does not constitute an admission that the comment was false or inappropriate, nor a guarantee that hidden content will not resurface if these Terms or our moderation practices change.

7.Prohibited Uses

You agree not to:

Violation of this section may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account, in addition to any other remedies available to us.

8.No Brokerage Relationship; Not Professional Advice

Nothing on the Service constitutes real estate, legal, financial, tax, or investment advice. Property, rental, and business details are self-reported by users and are not independently verified, appraised, or inspected by OFF MARKIE. Any figure, valuation, or comment shown on the Service — including anything submitted by another user — should not be relied upon as an accurate or professional assessment of value. You should consult a licensed professional before making any decision to buy, sell, lease, or invest.

9.Sharing Your Information; Third-Party Professionals & Partner Referrals

Your consent to share information. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree that OFF MARKIE may share your information — including your account details, profile and posting information, buyer preferences, and contact information such as your name, email address, and phone number — with real estate agents and brokers, attorneys, lenders, and other independent third-party professionals, and with other third parties such as business partners, service providers, and other users, in each case as described in this Section 9 and in our Privacy Policy. If you provide a phone number or email address, those professionals and third parties may contact you about real estate-related products and services.

How this works in practice. For example, we may share your information: (a) with a professional when you ask to be connected with one, such as by choosing “Connect with a professional”; (b) with professionals and other third parties who participate in our referral, lead, or recommendation programs, including those who pay OFF MARKIE for access to requests for connection or to be featured; (c) with another user when you choose a contact method on your posting, approve a contact request, or message that user through the Service; and (d) with service providers that help us operate the Service. What is displayed publicly on the Service is described in our Privacy Policy and is not changed by this Section.

Your choices. You may ask us to stop sharing your contact information with professionals and other third parties for referral or marketing purposes at any time by emailing admin@myoffmarkie.com or by deleting your account. Opting out does not affect information already shared, and we may continue to share information as needed to operate the Service, to comply with law, or at your direction (for example, when you ask to be connected with a professional or send a message to another user). You are never required to respond to, hire, or work with any professional or third party who contacts you.

Independent third parties. These professionals and third parties are independent of OFF MARKIE. We do not supervise, endorse, or guarantee the quality of their services, and a paid or featured placement is not an endorsement. Any agreement you enter into with them is solely between you and that professional. OFF MARKIE is not liable for the acts or omissions of any third party referred through the Service or given your information through it.

Paid builders listings. Builders, contractors, surveyors, engineers, attorneys, lenders and similar businesses may pay a recurring fee to be listed as a “Partner” on the Builders page and in the “Build your land development team” panel. A Partner listing is advertising: it is shown in random order, it is not a recommendation, and OFF MARKIE does not verify licenses, insurance, references or the quality of any business. A business that lists itself confirms that it is permitted to operate and advertise in each zip code it selects and that its description is accurate. When you ask a Partner for a quote, your email address is shared with that business so it can reply. Subscriptions renew every three months until cancelled, fees already paid are not refunded except as required by law, and OFF MARKIE may remove a listing that is inaccurate, unlicensed, or the subject of repeated complaints. Vacant land and building projects posted by owners or builders are subject to the same rules as every other posting.

10.Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, text, graphics, logos, and software (excluding User Content), is owned by OFF MARKIE or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, publicly display, or create derivative works from any part of the Service, and you may not use the Service's content in the meta-tags of another site or create a hyperlink to the Service without our prior written consent, except as expressly permitted by these Terms.

11.Copyright Complaints (DMCA)

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent at admin@myoffmarkie.com or by mail to OFF MARKIE GROUP, INC., Attention: General Counsel, 1667 Central Street, Stoughton, MA, including: (a) a description of the copyrighted work; (b) the location of the allegedly infringing material on the Service; (c) your contact information; (d) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is unauthorized; and (e) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf. We will respond in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

12.Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY INFORMATION ON THE SERVICE — INCLUDING PROPERTY DETAILS, VALUATIONS, OR USER COMMENTS — IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR RELIABLE. YOU USE THE SERVICE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR RECONCILING ANY INFORMATION YOU RECEIVE THROUGH THE SERVICE WITH YOUR OWN RECORDS.

13.Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OFF MARKIE AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US, IF ANY, IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THESE LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

14.Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless OFF MARKIE and its officers, employees, agents, assignees, successors, parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates from any claim, loss, or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any right of another person or entity. You shall not settle any such claim without our prior written consent.

15.Termination & Account Deletion

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that violates these Terms or is otherwise harmful to the Service or other users. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from your Account page. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 10 through 17) will survive.

16.Dispute Resolution & Arbitration Agreement

Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights.

Agreement to Arbitrate. You and OFF MARKIE agree to resolve by binding arbitration any claim, dispute, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court.

Class Action Waiver. You and OFF MARKIE agree that any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not as a class, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims.

Arbitration Procedure. A party seeking arbitration must first send a written notice of the claim to the other party. Our address for notice is OFF MARKIE GROUP, INC., Attention: General Counsel, 1667 Central Street, Stoughton, MA. The parties will use good-faith efforts to resolve the claim; if unresolved within 30 days of notice, either party may commence arbitration, administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. If your claim is for less than $10,000, you may elect to have it heard in small claims court instead.

Opt-Out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by sending written notice, including your full name and a clear statement of intent to opt out, by certified mail to OFF MARKIE GROUP, INC., Attention: General Counsel, 1667 Central Street, Stoughton, MA.

17.Governing Law & Forum Selection

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs Section 16. For any claim not subject to mandatory arbitration, the federal and state courts located in Boston, Massachusetts are the sole and exclusive forum, and you irrevocably submit to their jurisdiction.

18.Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice (such as posting an updated date or notifying you directly). Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

19.California Residents

If you are a California resident, under Cal. Civ. Code §1789.3 you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs, 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by phone at (800) 952-5210 or (916) 445-1254.

20.General Provisions

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and OFF MARKIE regarding the Service.

21.Notices & Contact

Questions about these Terms can be sent to admin@myoffmarkie.com. Formal notices to OFF MARKIE should be sent by certified mail to OFF MARKIE GROUP, INC., Attention: General Counsel, 1667 Central Street, Stoughton, MA. We may provide you notice at your last known email address; notice by email is deemed given 24 hours after sending.
