Terms of Service

1. Agreement & Scope

Welcome to Spring Mountain Realty PLLC (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our website (www.springmountainrealty.com), software widgets, home valuation tools, out-of-state relocation calculators, and real estate brokerage services (collectively, the “Services”).

By accessing our website, searching property listings, or utilizing our real estate tools, you (“User,” “Client,” or “Visitor”) agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must discontinue use of our website and Services immediately.

2. Real Estate Brokerage Disclosures & No Professional Binding

• Non-Binding Information: The information, property estimates, and valuation reports provided on this website are for informational and educational purposes only and do not constitute a formal real estate appraisal or a binding listing agreement.
• Agency Relationship: Use of this website, submission of property inquiry forms, or utilization of interactive tools does not automatically establish a formal real estate broker-client agency relationship. A formal agency relationship is established strictly through a signed written agreement (e.g., Exclusive Right to Sell Agreement or Buyer Representation Agreement) with Spring Mountain Realty PLLC.

3. MLS & IDX Listing Search Conditions

Property listing data displayed on this website is provided via Multiple Listing Service (MLS) Internet Data Exchange (IDX) feeds originating from the Knoxville Area Association of Realtors, Inc., Lakeway Association of Realtors, and Tenn/VA Association of Realtors.

By using our property search tools, you agree to the following mandatory conditions:

• Personal & Non-Commercial Use Only: You may access and use listing data exclusively for your personal, non-commercial use in identifying prospective properties you may be interested in purchasing.
• Prohibition of Scraping & Redistribution: You shall not copy, harvest, scrape, retransmit, white-label, or redistribute any listing information or photos without express written authorization.
• Data Accuracy: Information is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed accurate by the MLS, participating brokerages, or Spring Mountain Realty PLLC. Properties are subject to prior sale, change, or withdrawal.

4. Interactive Valuation & Relocation Calculators

Our automated home equity estimation tools, market reports, and tax savings calculators rely on third-party algorithms, local MLS sales history, and user-provided inputs.

• Estimates Only: These tools provide general market estimates and should not replace a professional Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) or formal appraisal conducted by a licensed professional.
• No Tax or Legal Guarantee: Tax savings figures generated by relocation calculators are illustrative estimates based on general state tax averages. Users should consult a certified CPA or tax professional regarding specific financial decisions.

5. Intellectual Property Rights

All visual branding, logos, custom code, graphic layouts, articles, calculators, and media on this website are the exclusive property of Spring Mountain Realty PLLC or its licensors. Unauthorized reproduction, modification, or commercial exploitation is strictly prohibited.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Spring Mountain Realty PLLC, its principal broker, affiliate brokers, officers, and employees shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages—including lost profits, property listing inaccuracies, or market fluctuations—arising out of or in connection with your use of our website, property search tools, or external links.

8. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee and the regulations enforced by the Tennessee Real Estate Commission (TREC), without regard to conflict of law principles.
