Terms of Use

Effective November 12, 2026 | View printable version

Overview

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of RateTheCondo.com (the “Site”). The Site is operated by Kevin Alexander Wong, Salesperson, and Bay Street Integrity Realty Inc., Brokerage, 8300 Woodbine Ave #519, Markham, ON L3R 9Y7 (“we”, “us”, “our”). By creating an account or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

1. Eligibility: you must be 18 or older

You must be at least 18 years old, and able to enter into a binding agreement, to create an account, view sold and leased data, post reviews or forum content, or request our services. By registering, you confirm that you are 18 or older. We may close any account we reasonably believe belongs to someone under 18 and delete its content.

2. Your account

• Give accurate information, including a valid email address that you control, and keep it up to date.
• One account per person. Do not share your login or let others use your account.
• Keep your password confidential. You are responsible for activity on your account; tell us right away at ratethecondo@gmail.com if you think it has been misused.
• We may suspend or close accounts that break these Terms, are used to scrape data, or are inactive.

3. MLS® listing, sold and leased data

Listing and sold/leased information on the Site is provided under licence from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (“TRREB”) through its data feed. Sold and leased prices are shown only to registered users through our Virtual Office Website (“VOW”). By registering and viewing this information, you acknowledge and agree that:

• You are creating a lawful consumer relationship with Bay Street Integrity Realty Inc., Brokerage, and you have a genuine interest in buying, selling or leasing real estate of the type shown.
• The information is for your personal, non-commercial use only. You will not copy, download in bulk, scrape, resell, republish or redistribute it, or use it for any other purpose.
• The information is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed. It may contain errors, may be out of date, and should be independently verified. Listings may be withdrawn, changed or sold at any time.
• The data is owned or licensed by TRREB and its members and is protected by copyright. TRREB and its members are not responsible for its accuracy.
• Map locations are approximate and are generated from public address data.

The trademarks MLS®, Multiple Listing Service® and the associated logos are owned by The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) and identify the quality of services provided by real estate professionals who are members of CREA. The trademarks REALTOR®, REALTORS® and the REALTOR® logo are controlled by CREA and identify real estate professionals who are members of CREA.

4. No professional advice; estimates and tools

Content on the Site, including building ratings, blog posts, home value estimates, the mortgage calculator and the cashback calculator, is general information only. It is not legal, financial, tax, mortgage, appraisal, home-inspection or investment advice. A home value estimate is not an appraisal. Using the Site does not by itself make you our client; a client relationship under Ontario’s Trust in Real Estate Services Act, 2002 (TRESA) begins only when we both sign a written representation agreement, and you will receive the RECO Information Guide before that happens.

5. Cashback and commission offers

Cashback, rebate and commission offers shown on the Site are offered through Bay Street Integrity Realty Inc., Brokerage, and apply only under a signed written agreement and its terms. Amounts shown by calculators are estimates. Cashback is paid only after a transaction closes and the brokerage receives its commission, may be subject to lender rules and applicable taxes, and may not be available on every property or transaction. Nothing on the Site is intended to solicit a property currently listed with, or a buyer currently under contract with, another brokerage.

6. Reviews, ratings and forum posts

When you post a review, rating, comment, photo or forum message (“Your Content”), you agree that:

• It reflects your own genuine experience. Building reviews should come from current or former residents, owners or tenants, or from people who have had a real experience with the building.
• You will disclose any connection to what you are reviewing (for example, if you are a developer, property manager, board member or agent, or are being paid or rewarded), and you will not post fake reviews or reviews of a competitor.
• It is not false, defamatory, harassing, hateful, threatening, obscene or discriminatory; it does not reveal anyone’s personal information (such as unit numbers, phone numbers or other residents’ names); and it does not infringe anyone’s copyright, privacy or other rights.
• It contains no spam, advertising, referral links or solicitation unless we have agreed to it.

You keep ownership of Your Content. You give us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual licence to host, display, reproduce, adapt (for example, to format or translate) and distribute it on the Site and in promoting the Site. We may moderate, edit for formatting, decline or remove any content at our discretion, but we are not obliged to monitor content. Opinions in user content belong to their authors, not to us. To report content you believe is unlawful or breaks these Terms, email ratethecondo@gmail.com.

7. Acceptable use

You will not: use bots, scrapers or other automated tools to access or collect data from the Site; try to get around access controls such as the sold-data login; interfere with the Site’s security or operation; impersonate anyone; or use the Site for any unlawful purpose.

8. Privacy and messages from us

Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy. We will send you account-related emails (such as confirmations and password resets). We will only send marketing emails, such as listing alerts or newsletters, with your consent, and every such message will include a way to unsubscribe, in line with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL).

9. Our content and third-party links

Apart from user content and licensed MLS® data, the Site’s text, design, ratings, graphics and software belong to us or our licensors. You may view and share links to the Site for personal use but may not copy or republish its content without permission. The Site links to and uses third-party services (such as OpenStreetMap map tiles); we are not responsible for third-party sites or services.

10. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The Site is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no warranties about its accuracy, completeness, availability or fitness for a particular purpose, and we are not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss, or for any loss arising from your reliance on information on the Site, including listing or sold data, ratings, reviews or estimates. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have that cannot be limited under Ontario law.

11. Indemnity

You agree to compensate us for claims, losses and reasonable costs (including legal fees) arising from Your Content or your breach of these Terms.

12. Changes and ending your account

We may update these Terms. We will post the new version here with a new “last updated” date and, for significant changes, notify registered users by email or on the Site. Continuing to use the Site after a change means you accept it. You may close your account at any time by emailing ratethecondo@gmail.com; we may keep published reviews and posts in anonymized form unless you ask us to delete them.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. You agree to the jurisdiction of the courts of Ontario.
