Terms & Conditions
Effective Date: [Month Day, Year]
Welcome to SmartStart Real Estate (“SmartStart,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of smartstartrealestate.com (the “Site”), including any content, tools, assessments, quizzes, digital products, downloads, and services we provide (collectively, the “Services”).
By accessing or using the Site or Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site or Services.
1) Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to use the Services or purchase any products. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement.
2) Educational Information Only (No Legal/Tax/Financial Advice)
SmartStart Real Estate provides educational and informational content only. Nothing on this Site or within the Services constitutes legal advice, tax advice, financial advice, investment advice, brokerage services, or a recommendation to buy or sell any security or real estate. You are responsible for your own decisions and outcomes.
You should consult qualified professionals (including an attorney, CPA, and/or licensed financial advisor) before making any real estate, tax, legal, or investment decision.
3) No Guarantees; Results Vary
Real estate investing involves risk. Any examples, scenarios, numbers, or results discussed are illustrative only and do not guarantee you will achieve similar outcomes. Your results depend on many factors outside our control, including market conditions, financing, execution, experience, and risk tolerance.
4) Accounts, Contact Information, and Communications
Some Services may require you to provide contact information (such as your email address) to receive results, resources, or products. You agree to provide accurate information and keep it updated.
By submitting your email, you agree we may contact you regarding your requested materials, results, and related educational content. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in our emails. Transactional communications may still be sent (e.g., purchase confirmations).
5) Assessments/Quizzes and Results
Our investor assessment(s), quizzes, and questionnaires are designed to provide general educational guidance and a best-fit strategy recommendation based on your responses. These results are not professional advice and may not account for all relevant personal, financial, legal, or market factors.
6) Digital Products, Purchases, and Delivery
We may offer digital products and downloads, including strategy blueprints, guides, templates, and other educational resources (“Digital Products”). When you purchase a Digital Product, you are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use it for your personal use (or internal business use, if applicable), subject to these Terms.
Delivery of Digital Products may occur via download link, email delivery, or access to a designated webpage or portal. You are responsible for ensuring you can receive emails and access provided links.
7) Pricing, Payments, and Taxes
All prices are shown in U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise. You agree to pay all fees and charges associated with your purchase. You are responsible for any applicable taxes unless otherwise required by law.
8) Refund Policy (Digital Products)
Because Digital Products are delivered electronically and may be accessed immediately, all sales are final unless otherwise stated on the purchase page at the time of purchase.
If we choose to offer a refund policy for a specific product, the terms of that refund policy will be posted on the applicable checkout page or product page and will control for that product.
9) Intellectual Property
All content, materials, and intellectual property on the Site and within the Services (including text, graphics, logos, videos, quizzes, frameworks, templates, downloads, and other materials) are owned by SmartStart or licensed to us and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, sell, sublicense, or create derivative works from any content or Digital Products without our prior written permission.
10) Prohibited Uses
You agree not to:
- Use the Site or Services for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, servers, systems, or accounts.
- Scrape, harvest, or collect data (including emails) without permission.
- Reverse engineer or attempt to discover source code or underlying methods of the Site or Services.
- Share, resell, redistribute, or publish Digital Products or paid materials.
- Interfere with or disrupt the operation or security of the Site.
11) Third-Party Services and Links
We may use third-party tools and services (including analytics, email/CRM services, payment processors, and embedded content). Third-party services operate under their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services, including any outages, errors, tracking, or data practices.
The Site may contain links to third-party websites. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of those websites.
12) Affiliate Disclosure
We may recommend products or services (such as lenders, software, courses, or tools). In some cases, we may receive compensation (e.g., affiliate commissions) if you purchase through our links. This does not increase your price unless stated otherwise. We aim to recommend tools we believe may be helpful, but you are responsible for evaluating any third-party product or service.
13) Disclaimer of Warranties
The Site and Services are provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or harmful components.
14) Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, SmartStart and its owners, employees, contractors, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising from or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Site or Services.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Site or Services will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) $50.
15) Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SmartStart and its owners, employees, contractors, and affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Site or Services, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity.
16) Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site or Services at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms, engaged in misuse, or created risk for SmartStart or other users. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and indemnification.
17) Governing Law; Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. You agree that any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms, the Site, or Services will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Texas, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.
18) Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised Effective Date. Your continued use of the Site or Services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
