Terms of use

Advisory The purpose of the Website is to help users sell their properties (the «Properties») without paying any commission. It is up to the seller and purchaser to complete any eventual transaction, with the understanding that ComFree will not be part of the transaction. In the interests of transparency for the potential buyers who browse the Website, the telephone number posted on the listed Property must be the owner's. In the event that you entrust the sale of your Property to a real estate agent, the telephone number must still be yours and cannot be changed to that of the real estate agent, otherwise your advertisement will be removed from the Website and there will be no refund.

Although ComFree strives to use its best efforts to keep the Website secure and maintain its integrity, COMFREE MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION WHATSOEVER REGARDING THE PROPERTIES, THE VALIDITY OR ACCURACY OF THEIR DESCRIPTIONS, OR THE CAPACITY OF THE SELLERS TO SELL THEIR PROPERTIES OR OF THE BUYERS TO PURCHASE THEM. All information and data presented on or obtained from the Website should be independently verified by users.

COMFREE IS NOT A REAL ESTATE BROKER AND DOES NOT OFFER ANY REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE SERVICES.

Each listing consists of one (1) Property for sale without an intermediary. You are not to post more than one Property on the same listing on the Website.

The Services are offered continuously from the activation of your listing until your subscription expires or your Property is sold. You can pause your listing for a period of up to three (3) months and reactivate it thereafter. If your listing is not reactivated after three (3) months, fees will apply to put your listing back online.

ComFree reserves the right to remove a file from the Website if the Property is listed on mls.ca/sia.ca or listed for sale through a real estate broker.

ComFree offers no refund for the Services rendered. For greater clarity, if your file is activated or if a ComFree representative has already met with you to take photographs of your Property, the Services shall be deemed to have been rendered and payment must be made in full.

ComFree authorizes only those of its clients who have active files on the Website to use ComFree signs. Should you fail to observe this policy, ComFree reserves the right to seize the signs in question. ComFree disclaims any liability for loss or theft of signs. If you wish to replace a lost or stolen sign, you shall be responsible for the full costs.

No Advice From time to time, the Website may provide information on the various aspects of selling a Property («Information»). Such Information is provided solely for educational purposes and shall in no event be construed as advice, an opinion, recommendation or action plan. The Website and its use are not intended as a substitute for and do not replace consultation with a qualified professional, where applicable.
