2. Service Description

Questia acts as a search engine for real estate properties and automobiles. We provide users with preliminary information, including a photo, price, and key details of the listing. However, the comprehensive information about the listings, including transaction processes, is managed on third-party websites.

• Real Estate Listings: For-sale properties, for-rent properties, and vacation homes.

3. User Responsibilities

By using Questia, you agree to:

• Use the platform solely for lawful purposes.
• Provide accurate information if creating an account or submitting a listing.
• Not engage in any activities that could harm or disrupt the platform, such as unauthorized access, data mining, or misuse of our services.

4. Listing Information and Accuracy

Questia provides a platform where listings are sourced from third-party websites. While we strive to provide accurate information, Questia is not responsible for the completeness or accuracy of the data on third-party websites. Users must verify all details directly on the listing provider's website.

• Questia does not sell, lease, or rent any property or automobile directly.
• Any inquiries, negotiations, or transactions are to be conducted on the third-party website that hosts the original listing.

5. Listing Ownership and Crawling Permissions

For website owners or brokers submitting listings:

• By submitting your data to Questia, or by allowing Questia to crawl your website, you confirm that you have the rights to publish the listings and that the data is accurate and lawful.
• Questia will use the submitted information only for the purposes of displaying search results to its users.

6. Verification for Crawling

For website owners who allow Questia to crawl their site:

• We will verify ownership of the site by requesting you to upload a verification file, add a verification meta tag, or update DNS records.
• Only once verified, Questia will proceed to crawl your website to gather the necessary listing information.
