PIE is an online software service that enables Suppliers to easily upload and share their property inventory with their approved real estate Brokers around the world. Property Inventories are only visible to those Brokers who have been granted sharing access by the Suppliers. Suppliers retain full control of their Property Inventory on the Platform and choose who they wish to share it with. Supplier Admin User can also view analytics in Supplier PIE account to view the number of clicks on Property Inventory from other Platform Users. It is solely the responsibility of the Supplier to ensure that all Supplier’s authorised users, governing bodies, employees, contractors and other parties who are involved in the Supplier’s business and who provide or collect any information through the Platform are aware of the terms of this Agreement. Any violation of this Agreement by Supplier’s employees, agents, officers, shareholders, members of governing bodies or contractors will be deemed to be a violation of this Agreement by the Supplier. By registering a PIE account, Supplier agrees to update its property inventory on the Platform on a daily basis or as otherwise required. If a Supplier is unable to upload its property inventory itself, such Supplier may delegate this daily responsibility to a PIE Administrator. Where the Supplier appoints a PIE Administrator to upload the property inventory on its behalf, the Supplier is obligated to provide the Company with a daily updated property inventory file. All costs and effort associated with delivering daily updated inventory file to the Company are solely for the Supplier’s account. The Company disclaims all liability for errors, inaccuracies or omissions in the Property Inventory as provided by the Supplier to the Company. Although PIE Administrator takes all reasonable steps to ensure that all Property Inventories are uploaded without any errors or omissions, we are unable to offer any guarantees against errors, omissions and inaccuracies that may occur during the uploading process. It is solely the Supplier’s responsibility to review the updated Property Inventory by logging into the Supplier account. The Company will not assume any responsibility for errors and omissions that may occur in the Property Inventory when uploaded by a PIE Administrator. In the event you identify any errors, omissions or inaccuracies in your Property Inventory, please contact us at support@pie.properties and provide us with a detailed description of the error or omission and the correct information that should replace it. We respond to all rectification requests within 48 hours from the time of receipt of your request. Suppliers can choose to upload and share their Property Inventory with either all Brokers on the Platform or only with their approved Brokers.
THE COMPANY CANNOT AND DOES NOT CONTROL THE SUITABILITY OR LEGALITY OF ANY INFORMATION STORED ON THE PLATFORM AND OR TRANSMITTED BY ANY USER. THIS AGREEMENT ONLY GOVERNS USERS RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS TOWARDS EACH OTHER, AND TOWARDS THE COMPANY, WHEN THEY USE THE PLATFORM TO ACCESS OR SUPPLY PROPERTY INVENTORY. THE SUPPLIERS AND BROKERS ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ENTERING INTO SUITABLE AGREEMENTS GOVERNING THEIR COMMERCIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH EACH OTHER OUTSIDE THE PLATFORM. THE COMPANY WILL NOT BE A PARTY TO ANY AGREEMENTS OR TRANSACTIONS ENTERED INTO BETWEEN THE SUPPLIERS AND BROKERS. THE COMPANY DOES NOT ACT AS AN AGENT ON BEHALF OF ANY SUPPLIER OR BROKER. AT NO TIME WILL THE COMPANY BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FAILURE OF EITHER THE SUPPLIER OR BROKER TO MEET THEIR RESPECTIVE OBLIGATIONS UNDER ANY AGREEMENTS.

The Company does not request any proof of identity from its Users. Therefore, we are unable to confirm that a User is who they claim to be. The Company cannot and does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of identity or any information provided by Users through the Platform. Should the Suppliers require any additional proof of identity from the Brokers, it is for them to request such information directly from the Broker. You should always use your own best judgment prior to accepting any inventory sharing requests from Brokers you do not know outside the Platform. NEITHER THE COMPANY NOR ITS AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT, WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE, OF ANY USER AND YOU HEREBY RELEASE THE COMPANY, ITS EMPLOYEES, SHAREHOLDER, AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS (COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS “COMPANY AND ITS OFFICERS”) FROM ANY LIABILITY RELATED THERETO.
