Welcome, and thanks for trying homeatsearch. These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are an agreement between you and us — the team that runs the search software known as homeatsearch (the “Software”) and the features it provides (the “Services”). Reading them together with our Privacy Policy tells you what you can expect from us and what we expect from you.
By installing or using the Software you are entering a binding electronic agreement. You are telling us that you are 13 or older, that you have read these Terms, and that you accept them along with any laws that apply to you. Please note that these Terms include an agreement to arbitrate and a waiver of class actions, explained near the end. If any of this is not acceptable to you, please don’t use the Services.
The Software helps you personalise how you browse and updates your browser’s search settings. As long as you follow these Terms, we give you a limited, revocable, non-transferable and free-of-charge permission to use the Services for your own private, non-commercial purposes on one device that belongs to you.
Please keep your use of the Services lawful and fair. In particular, you agree that you will not:
We can limit, pause, or shut off any part of the Services whenever we decide to, without telling you in advance, and we won’t be liable for doing so.
Apart from the permission we give you here, everything in the Services stays ours — including any improvements and the intellectual property behind them. Any trademarks or brand names you see through the Services belong to us or to the companies that own them.
The Services may show content or links that belong to third parties (“Outside Content”). That content is governed by the other party’s terms, not ours. We don’t review or endorse Outside Content, we can’t vouch for its accuracy or legality, and we may take it down at any time. You rely on Outside Content at your own risk and give up any related claim against us.
From time to time we may push automatic updates or upgrades, and you agree to receive them without being asked first. If an update makes a big change we’ll try to let you know. That said, we’re never obliged to release any update or new version.
As far as the law allows, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available,” with no warranties of any kind, whether express or implied — including merchantability, fitness for a purpose, or non-infringement. We don’t promise the Services will always be up or error-free, and any risk from using them is yours.
To the fullest extent the law permits, neither we nor our people, licensors, or affiliates will be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages — lost profits, lost data, business interruption, and the like — connected to your use of or inability to use the Services, even if we were warned they were possible. If we are found liable despite this, our total responsibility will never be more than what you paid for the Services. Your one remedy is to stop using the Software and uninstall it.
You agree to defend and reimburse us and our team, officers, directors, and affiliates for any claims, losses, or costs (including reasonable legal fees) that come out of your use of the Services or your breach of these Terms. You alone are responsible for how you use the Services.
These Terms start the moment you accept the Software and continue until they end. You can end them whenever you like by uninstalling the Software through your browser’s normal removal steps. Your permission and these Terms end immediately if you break any part of them, and we may also change, pause, or stop the Services at any time, with or without reason and with or without notice.
We only keep and use your data to run and support the Services. Please look over our Privacy Policy before you begin.
If something goes wrong, please contact us first so we can try to fix it informally. If we can’t, you and we agree to settle the matter through binding arbitration run by the American Arbitration Association (AAA). By accepting these Terms, both of us give up the right to a jury trial and the right to take part in a class action — claims can be raised only individually. This paragraph outlives the Terms themselves.
If you’d rather not be bound by arbitration, send us a written note saying so, with your full name and home address (an “Opt-Out Request”). These Terms follow the laws of the State of New York, ignoring its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Any dispute will be handled only in the state or federal courts in Manhattan, New York. You have one (1) year from the moment a claim arises to bring it; after that it’s permanently barred.
We may revise these Terms whenever we need to. Changes take effect once we publish them, and the “last updated” line above shows the current version. If you keep using the Services afterwards, that counts as accepting the new version — so please check back now and then.
