Any regulated real-estate brokerage services, representation, assistance, or trading services are provided only through the applicable registered brokerage and in accordance with applicable Ontario law.

  • creating an account;
  • using Emma;
  • receiving automated information;
  • saving a property;
  • requesting an estimate;
  • submitting a question; or
  • contacting AskEmma,

does not by itself create:

  • a representation agreement;
  • an agency relationship;
  • a fiduciary relationship;
  • a salesperson-client relationship;
  • a brokerage-client relationship; or
  • any obligation on you to buy, sell, lease, or trade in real estate.

Where a regulated real-estate service is requested, additional disclosures, documentation, acknowledgements, representation agreements, or other legally required steps may apply.

3. Emma Is an AI Assistant

Emma is an AI-assisted automated information tool.

Emma may use artificial intelligence, machine learning, automated retrieval, rules-based systems, third-party technology, and other computational methods to generate or organize responses.

AI-generated content may:

  • be incomplete;
  • contain errors;
  • misunderstand your question;
  • rely on incomplete information;
  • become outdated;
  • omit important facts;
  • incorrectly interpret data; or
  • produce an answer that sounds confident even when it is wrong.

You must independently verify important information before relying on it.

Emma is not:

  • a lawyer;
  • an accountant;
  • a tax adviser;
  • a mortgage broker;
  • a lender;
  • a home inspector;
  • an engineer;
  • an appraiser;
  • an insurance adviser; or
  • a substitute for an appropriately qualified professional.

AI-generated content does not constitute legal, tax, financial, lending, engineering, inspection, appraisal, or other regulated professional advice.

4. General Information Only

Unless expressly provided as part of a separate professional relationship through an appropriately registered or licensed person, information available through the Platform is provided for general informational and illustrative purposes.

Nothing on the Platform should be treated as:

  • a guarantee;
  • a warranty;
  • a promise of a particular outcome;
  • a recommendation to complete a transaction;
  • a prediction of a future sale price;
  • a formal valuation;
  • an appraisal;
  • legal advice;
  • tax advice;
  • financial advice;
  • mortgage advice;
  • engineering advice;
  • inspection advice; or
  • a substitute for independent due diligence.

Real-estate decisions can involve significant financial and legal consequences. You are responsible for obtaining appropriate professional advice and independently verifying information relevant to your circumstances.

5. Estimated Values and Opinions of Value

Where the Platform displays an estimated value, estimated range, automated estimate, opinion of value, price range, comparable-based indication, or similar output:

The estimated value or opinion of value shown is generated for informational and illustrative purposes only. It is not a formal valuation and should not be relied upon as such. No guarantee or warranty is provided as to its accuracy or completeness. Market conditions fluctuate, and users should consult a qualified professional for an independent assessment of property value.

An estimate or opinion may be influenced by factors including:

  • available comparable sales;
  • listing information;
  • location;
  • property type;
  • size;
  • age;
  • market conditions;
  • available public or licensed data;
  • user-provided information; and
  • automated analysis.

The Platform may not know or accurately assess:

  • interior condition;
  • renovations;
  • defects;
  • structural issues;
  • lot characteristics;
  • stigmas;
  • title issues;
  • tenancy issues;
  • financing conditions;
  • legal restrictions;
  • unreported improvements; or
  • other property-specific circumstances.

An estimated value or opinion of value is not an appraisal.

6. Value Comparisons and “Verdicts”

Where AskEmma uses labels or conclusions such as:

  • “below market”;
  • “in line with market”;
  • “above market”;
  • “good value”;
  • “strong value”;
  • “overpriced”;
  • “underpriced”;
  • “deal”;
  • “verdict”; or
  • similar comparative language,

the following applies:

Value comparisons and verdicts are based on factual data from recent comparable sales in the area and are provided for informational purposes only. They do not constitute advice, a recommendation to buy or sell, or any prediction of future sale prices. Users should perform their own due diligence and consult a licensed real estate professional before making any decisions.

Comparisons may be affected by differences in:

  • condition;
  • renovations;
  • floor level;
  • exposure;
  • parking;
  • lockers;
  • maintenance fees;
  • lot size;
  • location;
  • view;
  • layout;
  • property features;
  • sale conditions;
  • timing; and
  • market movement.

7. Property Listings and Market Data

Property information may originate from or be derived from sources including:

  • brokerages;
  • real-estate boards;
  • MLS® systems;
  • data licensors;

Where TRREB, MLS®, brokerage, board, or other licensed data is displayed, that data may be subject to:

  • other terms imposed by the applicable source or provider.

AskEmma does not guarantee that listing or market information is:

  • available;
  • error-free; or
  • suitable for a particular purpose.

Property status, price, availability, taxes, dimensions, measurements, inclusions, exclusions, zoning, school information, maintenance fees, parking, locker information, rental information, and other details should be independently verified.

A property shown as available may already be:

  • sold;
  • leased;
  • conditionally sold;
  • conditionally leased;
  • suspended;
  • terminated;
  • withdrawn;
  • expired; or
  • otherwise unavailable.

8. Sold, Historical and Restricted Data

Certain sold, historical, terminated, expired, withdrawn, de-listed, or otherwise restricted real-estate information may be subject to special legal, contractual, board, MLS®, VOW, registration, or data-licensing requirements.

Access may therefore be:

  • limited to registered users;
  • limited to eligible users;
  • subject to account verification;
  • subject to additional terms;
  • restricted by geography;
  • restricted by data source;
  • removed without notice; or

Where registration is required, you agree to provide accurate information and maintain a genuine user account.

Restricted data may not be:

  • scraped;
  • harvested;
  • copied in bulk;
  • systematically downloaded;
  • resold;
  • republished;
  • redistributed;
  • used to build a competing database;
  • used to train an unauthorized competing system; or
  • otherwise exploited contrary to applicable rights or restrictions.

Historical and sold data is provided for informational purposes only and does not guarantee the current or future value of any property.

9. No Guarantee of Property Suitability

AskEmma does not guarantee that any property is suitable for you.

You are responsible for investigating matters relevant to a property, including where appropriate:

  • physical condition;
  • inspections;

Electronic communications are governed by the Platform’s Electronic Communications Notice and applicable law.

Where consent is required for commercial electronic messages, we will seek consent or rely on another legally permitted basis.

You may unsubscribe from marketing communications using the unsubscribe method provided in the message.

Subject to any mandatory rights or jurisdiction that cannot legally be excluded, disputes relating to these Terms or the Platform will be brought before a court of competent jurisdiction in Ontario.

25. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect to the extent permitted by law.

26. No Waiver

A failure to enforce a provision of these Terms does not waive the right to enforce it later.
