Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By signing up for, accessing, or utilizing the JV DealRoom platform, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms of Service. These terms govern all Joint Venture (JV) deal room establishments, digital agreements, buyer protection vaults, closing document uploads, expected profit split calculations, and affiliate/referral commission ledgers.

2. Platform Role & Non-Broker Compliance

JV DealRoom is a transaction-management software-as-a-service portal. We do not act as licensed real estate brokers, agents, fiduciaries, closing agents, or escrow custodians. All financial transactions, earnest money deposits (EMD), and final profit split distributions are executed off-platform by localized, licensed closing title companies or closing attorney offices of record.

State Compliance Options: The platform offers options for State Riders (including Illinois, Oklahoma, Florida, and Texas compliance models) and Execution Pathways (Path A Assignment of equitable interest vs. Path B Double-Close SPV).

Users are solely responsible for ensuring their wholesale marketing materials, contract assignments, entity structures, broker licenses (where applicable under state laws like Illinois), and seller disclosure dates comply with all state-specific real estate commission laws and regulations.

3. Buyer Protection, Address Masking & Non-Circumvention

A core utility of the platform is the Buyer Protection Vault. Wholesalers who register prospective cash buyer contacts in the vault establish a digital "chain of custody" for those buyers in connection with a specific joint venture deal room.

Address Masking Protection: To prevent "deal-stealing" or circumvention of wholesalers' off-market contracts, exact property street addresses on public match listings and feeds are systematically masked from public view. Real street addresses are only exposed to partners once a legally binding joint venture agreement is digital-signed inside the JV Deal Room.

Anti-Circumvention Covenant: Partners agree not to contact, bypass, or market directly to any cash buyer registered in a deal room by another partner, nor utilize information from masked match feeds to bypass listing wholesalers. Bypassing, circumventing, or selling a property directly to another partner's registered buyer or bypassing a listing wholesaler is a material breach of these terms. Violators face account bans, reputation score reduction, and forfeiture of deal ratings.

4. Referral Program & Affiliate Commission Payouts

JV DealRoom hosts a "Give 10%, Get 20%" Referral Program:

- Referred Users: Receive a 10% discount on subscription upgrades for their first three months of service.

- Referrers: Accumulate a 20% lifetime recurring commission balance from active subscriptions generated by their referral code.

- Payout Withdrawals: Referrers can withdraw accumulated commission balances to live financial accounts using Stripe Connect or PayPal. Real-world payout transfers are processed securely upon request, while billing upgrades remain in test simulator mode.

5. Billing, Subscriptions & Cancellations

Plan upgrades (Free, Pro, Team tiers) are processed securely via Stripe. Real billing credentials, subscriptions, and card transactions are handled securely by Stripe. Subscriptions can be managed or canceled at any time from your billing dashboard.

Subscription Cancellation Grace Period: If you cancel your subscription, your Pro/Team benefits remain fully active until the end of your current billing period (expiration date). Upon expiration, your account is transitioned to the Free tier. While on the Free tier, you are limited to 0 active JVA deal rooms, but all of your existing deal rooms, closing document vault files, and digital signature records are safely preserved in read-only format.

6. Dispute Mediation & Admin Arbitration

In the event of a dispute over profit splits, expenses, or buyer bypass allegations, either partner may escalate the deal room status to "Disputed." Platform administrators reserve the right to freeze the deal room status, review the audit trail log (including IP addresses, timestamps, email communications, and closing document uploads), and arbitrate the dispute.

Administrative decisions are final and binding regarding the platform state, rating disbursements, and user directory flags.

7. Limitation of Liability

JV DealRoom is not liable for transactions that fail to close, disputes that remain unresolved by partners, title company failures, or regulatory actions regarding unlicensed real estate brokering. All data, signature templates, checklists, and audit logs are provided on an "as-is" basis.

8. Developer API & CRM Sync Tokens

Team plan subscribers are granted access to developer API keys to synchronize JV deal states with external CRM tools (such as HubSpot or Podio).

Security Responsibilities: Developer API keys represent full administrative access to your transaction records. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your keys. JV DealRoom stores developer API tokens as cryptographically secure one-way hashes (SHA-256) inside our database. Consequently, the raw API key is only displayed to you once upon generation and is masked in the UI thereafter.
