Terms of Use
Version 0.9 (draft) Last updated
Draft — pending legal review. This page is a working draft prepared for review by afreemove.com’s legal counsel. It is not final and will change before launch.
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of afreemove.com (the “site”), powered by Ameritex Movers. By using the site you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. Partners and agents accept the version of these Terms shown above when they register, and are asked to accept new versions when they change.
About afreemove.com
afreemove.com helps renters and buyers find participating apartment communities, condos, townhomes, rental homes and homes for sale in the Houston and Dallas areas. Listings are provided by participating property management companies, leasing offices and realtor partners (“partners”). afreemove.com is not a real estate brokerage, landlord or property manager, does not represent buyers, sellers, landlords or tenants, and is not a party to any lease, purchase or other agreement between you and a partner.
The Free Move program
- The Free Move is offered and funded by participating properties and realtor partners. Each partner sets its own Free Move budget, shown in dollars or hours, and its own eligibility rules.
- Free Moves are subject to lease or purchase qualification and to the terms of the specific promotion. Moves are carried out by Ameritex Movers.
- Free Move bookings are arranged through your property or realtor. You cannot book a Free Move through this site; once your lease or purchase is confirmed, your property contacts Ameritex Movers and a team member reaches out to you.
- If a move takes longer than the budgeted time, or you request additional services, specialty items or extra time, you may be responsible for the difference.
- Partners may change or end a Free Move offer. The offer shown on a listing is not a guarantee until it is confirmed by the partner.
Using the site
You may use the site for your own personal, non-commercial search for a home, and partners may use it to manage their listings. You agree not to:
- copy, scrape, harvest or index listings, photos or contact details by automated means, or use them to build a competing database;
- interfere with the site’s security or operation, probe for vulnerabilities, or bypass rate limits or spam protection;
- submit false enquiries, impersonate anyone, or send spam or unsolicited messages through the site;
- use the site in a way that breaks any law, including fair housing, consumer protection, privacy and anti-spam laws.
Enquiries and communications
When you send an enquiry, it goes to the partner responsible for the listing. Partners respond to you directly, and are responsible for their own communications, application processes, fees and decisions. Only provide information you are comfortable sharing with the partner.
Partner and agent accounts
- Accounts are available to property management companies, leasing offices, realtors and brokerages that apply with a business email address and are approved by us. We may approve, decline, suspend or close an account at our discretion.
- You must give accurate, current information, keep your login details secure, and are responsible for activity under your account and your team’s accounts.
- Realtors and brokerages must hold the licenses required by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) and comply with TREC rules; property partners must comply with applicable landlord-tenant laws.
- You must have a lawful basis to share any resident or client details you submit, including consent for Free Move referrals.
Listing accuracy and partner obligations
- Partners are responsible for the accuracy of their listings, including rents and prices, availability, floor plans, fees, policies, photos and the Free Move allowance, and must update or remove listings promptly when they change or are no longer available.
- Partners must own or have permission to use all photos, floor plans, logos and text they upload, and grant us a non-exclusive license to display them on the site and in our marketing of the listing.
- We may review, edit for format, decline or remove listings that do not meet these Terms. We do not verify every listing and do not guarantee that listings are accurate, complete or available.
Prohibited content
You may not post or send content that:
- indicates any preference, limitation or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, national origin or any other class protected by federal, Texas or local law;
- is false, misleading or deceptive, including bait-and-switch pricing or availability;
- infringes someone else’s copyright, trademark, privacy or other rights;
- is obscene, threatening, harassing or defamatory;
- contains personal information about others without their permission, malware or links to harmful sites; or
- promotes a business, service or property unrelated to the listing.
Fair housing
