Legal policies

Effective Date: February 23, 2025
Last updated: April 30, 2026

This Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) is incorporated into and forms part of Tether RE LLC’s Terms of Service. It sets binding rules governing use of Tether RE’s websites, mobile and desktop applications, APIs, data feeds, integrations, dashboards, administrative tools, and related services (collectively, the “Services”). Capitalized terms used but not defined here have the meanings given in the Terms of Service.

 Tether’s mission is agent safety. This AUP protects safety, compliance, civil-rights obligations, and Tether’s legal posture (including avoiding classification as a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA). Violation of this AUP may result in warnings, restricted access, suspension, termination, reporting to regulators or professional bodies (including REALTOR® associations), legal action, and other remedies.

1. Purpose and scope

1.1 Purpose. The Services are provided solely as tools and informational resources to support the safety, situational awareness, and personal security of real estate professionals while performing real-estate-related activities. The Services are expressly not designed, intended, or authorized to be used for screening, eligibility, qualification, rating, scoring, ranking, or adverse decision-making about individuals for housing, employment, credit, insurance, licensing, tenancy, or other regulatory or benefit-determining purposes.

1.2 Scope. This AUP applies to all users, account holders, subaccounts, administrators, contractors, employees, invitees, integrators, partners, and any third party who accesses or uses the Services (“you”, “your”).

2. Key definitions

• “Filtered Data” — categories of information Tether intentionally omits or limits in results (examples: financial/credit records, liens/judgments for non-safety purposes, certain arrest records older than specified cutoffs, minor infractions).

• “Protected Characteristic” — race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, familial status, national origin, age, source of income (where protected), and any other class protected by applicable law.

• “Lookup Result(s)” — any output produced by a Tether query or Service feature, including identity, address, phone, ownership, public-record, or criminal-history information.

3. Permitted uses

You may use the Services only:

• For individualized, bona fide personal-safety or agent-safety purposes directly related to real-estate professional activities (for example: verifying the identity of a caller during a showing; checking an address for safety context before attending an appointment; responding to a safety incident);

• Consistent with applicable law, the NAR Code of Ethics (if applicable), your professional obligations, and this AUP; and

• In a manner that is individualized, documented, reasonable, and necessary for a legitimate safety purpose.

Any use not expressly permitted here is prohibited.

4. Overarching prohibitions: no screening, no determinations of eligibility

You must not, under any circumstances, use the Services or any Lookup Result to:

• Determine, influence, or justify eligibility, qualification, acceptance, rejection, denial, suitability, ranking, scoring, or any similar decision for housing, tenancy, employment, credit, insurance, lending, underwriting, licensing, professional accreditation, background checks, victim compensation, or any other benefit or adverse action;

• Create, maintain, supply, or rely on lists, watchlists, blacklists, databases, scores, or automated decision systems that are used to evaluate, screen, or exclude persons for the purposes above; or

• Represent, market, label, or describe Tether outputs as consumer reports, background checks, tenant screening reports, employment screening reports, credit reports, FCRA-compliant reports, or any product that would suggest FCRA-like purposes or regulatory compliance.

Tether is not a Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA) and does not provide consumer reports as defined by the FCRA.

5. No denial, no variation, and no steering

You may not use Lookup Results to deny, delay, limit, condition, vary, or otherwise change the provision of real-estate-related services, or to steer a person toward or away from a property, neighborhood, service provider, lender, or opportunity. Specifically, you must not:

• Refuse representation or assistance based on Lookup Results;

• Impose different procedures, documentation, meeting terms, deposits, or verification requirements based solely on Lookup Results;

• Change pricing, availability, or terms of service because of Lookup Results; or

• Steer clients or customers to or away from properties, neighborhoods, or services based on Lookup Results.

Any safety procedures must be individualized, applied consistently, supported by contemporaneous documentation, and not used as a pretext for discrimination.

6. Proxy discrimination prohibited

You must not use any data, attribute, or combination of attributes produced by the Services — including names, addresses, neighborhoods, phone numbers, public records, household composition, ownership associations, criminal-history results, or other signals — as a proxy to infer or act upon a Protected Characteristic. You must not apply different treatment to any person based on actual or perceived Protected Characteristics or on proxies thereof.

7. Prohibited uses (non-exhaustive)

You must not use the Services to:

• Engage in stalking, harassment, doxxing, intimidation, threats, public shaming, or revenge contact;

• Publish, post, screenshot, distribute, resell, license, or otherwise make Lookup Results publicly available on social media, public forums, marketing materials, client-facing reports, or any venue that is not a limited emergency/safety channel expressly permitted by Tether;

• Share Lookup Results with clients, sellers, landlords, lenders, employers, or other third parties for screening, tenant selection, hiring, lending, or reputational purposes (exceptions for emergency-response or law enforcement disclosures are below);

• Create or enable screening products, tenant screening lists, employment screening systems, scoring algorithms, risk scores, or other decisioning tools derived from the Services;

• Perform bulk exports, mass-queries, automated scraping, scraping via third-party scripts, or any programmatic collection that enables reconstruction, aggregation, or publication of Lookup Results at scale;

• Attempt to reverse engineer, defeat, circumvent, or otherwise interfere with Tether’s filtering, redaction, rate limits, watermarking, anti-automation, or other technical protections;

• Use the Services to train machine-learning models, build derived datasets for commercial/competitive use, or develop services that compete with Tether without Tether’s express written permission;

• Combine Tether Lookup Results with other data to recreate or infer Filtered Data categories that Tether excludes;

• Use the Services to make decisions about insurance, credit, lending, or any FCRA-defined purpose; or

• Permit unauthorized persons to use your account to access or export Lookup Results.

8. Exporting, APIs, automation, and partners

8.1 API and programmatic access are only permitted under terms that explicitly prohibit conversion of Lookup Results into consumer reports, lists, or screening products. Bulk export, automated querying, or database-building from the Services is prohibited unless authorized in a separate written agreement that explicitly permits such activity.

8.2 Any third-party partner, integrator, or data recipient that receives Service data must have a written agreement with Tether that binds the partner to the restrictions in this AUP and to applicable data security and privacy standards.

9. Enterprise, brokerage, and administrator restrictions

9.1 Administrators and organizations: Organizations that provision Services to members, employees, or agents (including brokerages, teams, MLSs, associations, and enterprises) must ensure:

• Administrator access is assigned only to authorized personnel;

• Access levels are role-based and limited to necessity;

• Exported information is not centrally stored, aggregated, or used to screen clients, customers, or potential counterparties;

• Policies and training are provided to all users about lawful, safety-only use; and

• Organizations do not require or encourage prohibited uses.

9.2 Organization liability: Organizations are responsible for the actions of their administrators, licensed users, and invitees. Tether may hold organizations accountable for systemic misuse.

10. Data scope, labeling, and accuracy

10.1 Filtered Data. The Services intentionally filter or exclude categories of information to preserve the safety-only purpose (examples: no financial/credit reporting, no comprehensive background checks, limited arrest disclosures, exclusion of minor infractions). The absence of a category in Lookup Results is not a representation that such information does not exist.

10.2 Labeling and provenance. Criminal-related outputs, if displayed, will be clearly labeled (for example: “CONVICTION,” “ARREST (ALLEGATION),” with source and date where available). Lookup Results display source provenance where available.

10.3 Accuracy. Tether does not control third-party source data and does not guarantee that Lookup Results are accurate, complete, timely, correctly matched to the correct person, or suitable for any purpose other than limited safety awareness. Arrests are allegations and are not proof of guilt.

10.4 No certification. Tether does not certify, verify, endorse, or justify any conclusion that a person is safe, unsafe, suitable, or unsuitable.

11. Non-reliance; independent judgment

You acknowledge and agree that Lookup Results are informational only. You will exercise independent professional judgment and, where appropriate, obtain independent verification before relying on or acting on any information. The Services are not a substitute for calling emergency services, law enforcement, legal counsel, professional investigation, or other competent professionals.

12. Dispute and correction process (careful FCRA framing)

12.1 Individual disputes. Individuals who believe that their Lookup Results are inaccurate may submit a dispute to Tether through the in-app dispute mechanism or via email to Legal@tetherre.com. Tether will review disputed items promptly and will investigate to the extent reasonably practicable given third-party source constraints.

12.2 Limitation. This dispute mechanism is administrative and operational — it does not transform Tether into a consumer reporting agency or otherwise create FCRA obligations. Tether may correct, annotate, or remove results where reasonable and where third-party sources permit correction; however, Tether cannot guarantee the correction of records maintained exclusively by third-party or government sources.

12.3 Referral. If a dispute requires third-party source correction, Tether will advise the disputant how to contact the original data source where possible.

13. Logging, monitoring, and retention

13.1 Audit logs. Tether logs user access and query activity for security, compliance, and investigation. Logs may include: user identity, account and role, timestamp, query input, Lookup Result identifiers/categories (not necessarily full exported content), IP address, device metadata, and reason/justification where provided.

13.2 Retention. Tether retains logs and relevant records for a period of at least three (3) years, or as otherwise required by law.

13.3 Use of logs. Logs are used to detect abuse, investigate suspected violations, defend legal claims, support disputes, assist law enforcement, and meet regulatory obligations.

14. Reporting, whistleblower channel, and confidentiality

14.1 Reporting. To report misuse or suspected violations, use the in-app reporting mechanism or email Legal@tetherre.com. Reports may be made confidentially.

14.2 Anti-retaliation. Tether prohibits retaliation against good-faith reporters. However, knowingly false or malicious reports may themselves constitute a violation.

14.3 Response. Tether will investigate reports in good faith and may take remedial action, including requiring corrective measures, suspending access, or referring matters to licensing bodies, REALTOR® associations, or law enforcement.

15. Enforcement, audits, and remedies

15.1 Enforcement actions. For suspected violations, Tether may, in its discretion and subject to applicable law: warn, restrict, suspend, or terminate accounts; require remediation; revoke API keys or integrations; restrict features; require written assurances; or pursue injunctive or legal remedies.

15.2 Audits. Tether may audit organization accounts or integrations where systemic misuse is suspected. You must cooperate in any investigation and provide requested information and access.

15.3 Injunctive relief. Because misuse may cause immediate and irreparable harm, Tether may seek immediate injunctive relief in court in addition to any contractual remedies.

16. Records retention by users and deletion requirements

16.1 Minimal retention. You must not export or retain Lookup Results except to the limited extent reasonably necessary for immediate safety response, compliance, legal obligation, or organization-approved incident reporting.

16.2 Deletion. Unless otherwise required by law or a separate written agreement, exported Lookup Results or records derived from the Services must be deleted within thirty (30) days of creation. Exception: copies retained for legal process, internal incident response, or compliance obligations must be stored securely and access restricted.

16.3 Prohibited centralization. Organizations must not centralize Lookup Results into enterprise screening databases or otherwise aggregate the results to create screening or decisioning products.

17. Third-party partners, vendors, and subcontractors

Any third party that receives Service data from you (including via integration) must have a written, enforceable agreement requiring it to comply with this AUP (or Tether’s equivalent), applicable security standards, and data-protection requirements. You remain responsible for third-party compliance.

18. Model training, derivatives, and competition prohibition

You may not use Lookup Results or derivative data to train machine-learning models, create aggregated datasets for commercial use, build products that replicate Tether’s functionality, or otherwise compete with Tether without express written permission.

19. API terms and rate limits

API access is subject to explicit API terms, technical rate limits, monitoring, and additional security and contractual obligations. Violations of API terms (including high-volume querying) may result in immediate suspension.

20. Relationship to FCRA and other laws

Nothing in this AUP is intended to create rights or obligations in conflict with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Fair Housing Act, or other federal, state, or local law. Tether’s labeling, filtering, and contractual restrictions are designed to minimize the risk of being treated as a CRA, but compliance ultimately depends on permissible use by users and enforcement of these contractual and technical controls.

21. REALTORS® and professional obligations

If you are a REALTOR® or subject to a professional code of ethics, you must comply with the NAR Code of Ethics, local association rules, and any licensing obligations when using the Services. Tether may report suspected ethical violations (including misuse of the platform) to the relevant REALTOR® association.

22. Attestations and just-in-time acknowledgements

22.1 Mandatory attestation. Users must complete an attestation during account setup and periodically thereafter certifying they will use the Services only for permitted safety purposes and will comply with this AUP.

22.2 Required just-in-time acknowledgement. Access to any sensitive lookup feature (including criminal-history queries, sex-offender registry checks, reverse-address lookups that return ownership or registrant associations, and any lookup that returns criminal or registry results) requires an affirmative just-in-time acknowledgement each time the lookup is performed. The acknowledgement must confirm that the lookup is for an immediate, legitimate safety purpose and that the results will not be used for any prohibited purpose set forth in this AUP. Tether will record and retain a log of each just-in-time acknowledgement associated with the lookup.

22.3 Enforcement. Failure to obtain or record a required just-in-time acknowledgement for a sensitive lookup may be treated as a violation of this AUP and may result in remedial action including suspension, termination, or other enforcement measures.

23. Changes to this AUP

Tether may modify this AUP at any time. Material changes will be posted and communicated to account administrators and may require re-attestation. Continued access following an updated effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised AUP.

24. Severability and enforcement

If any provision of this AUP is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to be enforceable; the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Enforcement of this AUP is cumulative with any other remedies available at law or equity.

This Cookie Policy explains how Tether LLC ("Company," "we," "us," and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at tetherre.com ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Tether LLC) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Why do we use cookies?

How can I control cookies on my browser?

As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information. The following is information about how to manage cookies on the most popular browsers:

• Chrome

• Internet Explorer

• Firefox

• Safari

• Edge

• Opera

In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit:

• Digital Advertising Alliance

• Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada

• European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?

Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and for other site operations.

If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to "information" on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time).

Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content.

Do you serve targeted advertising?

Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.

How often will you update this Cookie Policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.

Use this form to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. Under privacy laws, you have the right to know how your information is collected, processed, and shared. Once submitted, we will verify your identity and respond within one month.

Effective Date: February 23, 2025
Last updated: April 30, 2026

Purpose and scope

This Disclaimers & Safety Use Policy ("Policy") explains the scope, limitations, and permitted uses of information, features, and services offered by Tether RE LLC ("Tether RE", "we", "us" or "our") via our website (www.tetherre.com), mobile applications, and related services (collectively, the "Services").

Tether RE provides safety and productivity tools for real estate professionals, including identity and address lookups, conviction‑only criminal‑history summaries, optional 24/7 monitoring, mileage and expense tracking, and related functionality (collectively, "Features"). This Policy supplements other agreements and policies governing use of the Services (e.g., Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Acceptable Use Policy).

1. FCRA notice — Not a consumer reporting agency

Tether RE is NOT a Consumer Reporting Agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The information, summaries, or reports provided through our Services are informational tools intended to support agent safety and productivity and are NOT "consumer reports" as defined by the FCRA.

You must NOT use Tether RE for making eligibility decisions about employment, housing or tenant screening, credit, insurance, immigration, or other decisions that would require compliance with the FCRA. Use of Tether RE for such purposes may trigger statutory obligations under the FCRA and is expressly prohibited by our Terms of Service.

2. Prohibited uses

The following uses of Tether RE or any information obtained via the Services are strictly prohibited:

• Decision‑making for housing or tenant‑screening (including listing, leasing, exclusion, or steering).

• Employment decisions including hiring, promotion, discipline or termination.

• Credit, lending, or underwriting determinations.

• Insurance underwriting or eligibility determinations.

• Immigration eligibility or determinations affecting government benefits.

• Any other use for which federal, state, or local law requires a consumer report or specific procedural protections.

3. Anti‑discrimination and Fair Housing

Tether RE’s Features must not be used to discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, or other protected characteristics under applicable law. Use of our Services in housing contexts (including tenant screening, marketing, or steering) can create unlawful disparate impacts. Users who are REALTORS® must comply with the National Association of REALTORS® Code of Ethics (including Article 10) and all applicable fair housing laws.

If you are using our Services in a housing context, you must ensure (i) your use is consistent with the Fair Housing Act and (ii) you have conducted any required individualized assessment and documentation before taking adverse actions.

4. Monitoring and emergency response

Our 24/7 monitoring and safety alert services are informational and designed to help agents manage safety-related events. Tether RE does NOT provide emergency dispatch or response services. If you face an immediate threat to safety, you should contact local emergency services first. Tether RE expressly disclaims any responsibility for the timing, nature, or adequacy of third‑party or public emergency responses.

5. Accuracy, provenance, and limitations of data

Data available through the Services is obtained from third‑party public records, partner vendors, and other sources ("Data Providers"). Data may be incomplete, out‑of‑date, inaccurate, or unavailable for certain jurisdictions. We provide data and summary information for convenience and informational purposes only and do not guarantee completeness or accuracy.

When available, records will include provenance information (source and date). Users should verify records with the original source before taking action based on the information. Tether RE is not responsible for errors in Data Providers’ records.

6. Disputes and corrections

If you believe information presented by Tether RE is inaccurate, you may contest the record through our Data Disputes process. To submit a dispute, contact us at info@tetherre.com. We will investigate and, where appropriate, correct or remove inaccurate information after verification with the originating Data Provider.

Because Tether RE is not a consumer reporting agency, the FCRA dispute and reinvestigation procedures do not apply; however, we will take reasonable steps to review verified inaccuracies.

7. Sealed, expunged, or jurisdictionally restricted records

Certain records may be sealed, expunged, or restricted from disclosure under applicable law. If you believe a record appearing in our Services has been sealed or is legally restricted, submit supporting documentation via our Data Disputes process (or contact support). Upon verification, Tether RE will remove or suppress such records in accordance with applicable law and our internal procedures.

8. Per‑search acknowledgement and permitted purpose

Before performing any reverse‑lookup or criminal‑history search, users will be required to affirmatively acknowledge a Permitted Purpose and confirm that they will not use the results for any prohibited purpose (including housing, employment, credit, insurance, or immigration decisions). Tether RE will retain records of users’ acknowledgements and the time and nature of searches for compliance and auditing.

Sample per‑search acknowledgement (displayed in the product):"By proceeding with this search, I confirm that I will use the returned information only for legitimate safety or business purposes consistent with Tether RE’s policies and applicable law, and that I will not use this information for housing, employment, credit, insurance, or immigration eligibility decisions."

9. User responsibilities and indemnity

Users are responsible for ensuring their use of the Services complies with all applicable laws, including but not limited to the Fair Housing Act, employment laws, and state or local restrictions on the use of criminal records.

By using the Services, you represent, warrant, and agree that you will not use the Services for any prohibited purpose. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Tether RE, its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, and partners from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or related to your breach of this Policy or your unlawful use of information obtained through the Services.

10. Third‑party content, vendors, and links

The Services may include links to third‑party websites, Data Providers, and services. We do not control or endorse third‑party sites or their practices. Third parties may collect data and set cookies on your device; consult their privacy and cookie notices. Tether RE is not responsible for third‑party content or accuracy of third‑party records.

11. Testimonials and affiliates

Any testimonials or user content displayed on our Site reflect individual experiences and do not guarantee similar results for other users. We may earn referral or affiliate fees from products or services linked from our Site; such relationships will be disclosed where applicable.

12. Cookie and tracking notice

Our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy describe how we use cookies, local storage, persistent identifiers, and other tracking technologies to provide Services, including monitoring and mileage features. Enabling 24/7 monitoring or mileage tracking may set persistent identifiers or require device/location permissions; these identifiers support the operation of such Features and may be retained for a limited time as described in our Cookie Policy.

13. Data retention and audit logs

We retain records of searches, per‑search acknowledgements, audit logs, and other account activity for compliance, security, and product improvement purposes. Typical retention periods include: audit/search logs — up to 24 months; monitoring/mileage identifiers — up to 12 months; other records — as described in our Privacy Policy. Retention periods may vary by jurisdiction and contractual obligations.

14. Jurisdictional limitations and local laws

Users are responsible for understanding and complying with jurisdictional rules that govern the use of criminal records, background checks, and tenant or employment screening. Local laws (including "ban the box", sealing, or expungement rules) may restrict how and when records can be accessed or used. Where local law imposes restrictions, those restrictions control.

15. No warranties; limitation of liability

Except as expressly provided herein, the Services and all information are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without any warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tether RE disclaims all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non‑infringement.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL TETHER RE HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, SO THESE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

16. Changes to this Policy

We may modify this Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice by revising the date at the top of the Policy and, where appropriate, providing additional notice via the Services. Your continued use of the Services after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.

The Software is made available to you subject to your acceptance of, and compliance with, this EULA, the Tether Terms of Service, the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), and Tether's Privacy Policy, each of which is incorporated by reference.

1. LICENSE GRANT

Subject to your compliance with this EULA, the Terms of Service, and the AUP, Tether grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the Software solely to access the Services for internal, bona fide agent-safety and personal-safety operations in connection with real-estate-related activities. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by Tether.

2. SCOPE, PERMITTED USES, AND CONTROLS

2.1 Permitted Uses. Your rights are limited to internal, safety-only uses consistent with the AUP and applicable law. You must not use the Software for any purpose that is not expressly permitted in this EULA or the AUP.

2.2 No FCRA or Eligibility Use. You acknowledge and agree that Tether is not a Consumer Reporting Agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). You will not use the Software, Services, or any outputs (including Lookup Results) for any FCRA-regulated purpose, including employment screening, tenant or housing screening, credit or insurance underwriting, licensing suitability determinations, or any adverse action. Any such use is a material breach of this EULA.

2.3 No Screening or Eligibility Decisions. You will not use the Software or Outputs to determine, influence, or justify eligibility, acceptance, rejection, denial, ranking, scoring, or suitability decisions related to housing, tenancy, employment, credit, insurance, licensing, or similar determinations. You will comply with all applicable fair housing, anti-discrimination, and professional ethics obligations.

3. RESTRICTIONS AND PROHIBITED CONDUCT

You shall not, and shall not permit any third party to:

(a) resell, sublicense, distribute, publish, transfer, assign, or otherwise make available the Software or any Outputs to third parties except as expressly authorized by Tether in a separate written agreement;

(b) use, export, or otherwise disclose Outputs to create, populate, or maintain any screening, scoring, decisioning, or background-check product or service;

(c) perform bulk export, mass querying, scraping, harvesting, or automated collection of Outputs or any data derived from the Software unless expressly authorized in writing by Tether;

(d) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code, algorithms, filtering logic, or internal structure of the Software, or attempt to recreate Filtered Data categories omitted by Tether's Services;

(e) use Outputs or derivative data to train, validate, benchmark, or improve machine-learning models or to create aggregated datasets for commercial use or to develop competitive products, except with Tether's express prior written consent;

(f) combine Outputs with other data to recreate categories of Filtered Data that Tether intentionally excludes; or

(g) permit third parties to access the Software (except authorized users within your organization bound by equivalent obligations), assign your rights under this EULA, or transfer the Software or credentials without Tether's prior written consent.

4. FILTERED DATA; ACCURACY; THIRD-PARTY SOURCES

4.1 Filtered Data. The Software and Services intentionally filter or omit categories of information ("Filtered Data") to preserve the safety-only purpose of the Services. The absence of particular data in any Output is not a representation that such information does not exist.

4.2 Accuracy. The Software may surface data from public records, commercial providers, or other third parties. Tether does not control third-party source data and does not guarantee accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or correct identity matching. Arrests are allegations and are not proof of guilt.

4.3 Disputes and Corrections. Individuals may submit disputes via Tether's dispute process. Tether will investigate in good faith but does not become a consumer reporting agency by operating a dispute channel. Tether's ability to correct Output depends on third-party source cooperation.

5. FEES; SUBSCRIPTION; REFUNDS

Use of the Software may require payment of subscription fees. Billing, cancellation, and refund terms are governed by the Terms of Service and any applicable order form. As provided in the Terms of Service, customers may cancel at any time via the billing section at portal.tetherre.com. Fees are non-refundable except as required by law or agreed in writing.

6. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The Software, all related intellectual property, and Tether's trademarks, service marks, and logos remain the exclusive property of Tether or its licensors. No ownership rights are transferred to you under this EULA except for the limited license expressly granted.

7. CONFIDENTIALITY

8. FEEDBACK

If you provide feedback or suggestions regarding the Software, you grant Tether a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and otherwise exploit such feedback without obligation to you.

9. SECURITY, LOGGING, AND AUDIT RIGHTS

9.1 Logging. Tether logs software usage, queries, and related metadata for security, compliance, and investigation in accordance with the AUP and Privacy Policy.

9.2 Audits. For enterprise accounts or where Tether reasonably suspects systemic misuse, you agree to cooperate with Tether investigations and to permit audits of relevant records. Failure to cooperate or remediate may result in suspension or termination.

10. TERM, SUSPENSION, AND TERMINATION

10.1 Term. This EULA commences on the Effective Date and continues until terminated as provided herein.

10.2 Termination for Cause. Tether may suspend or terminate this EULA, access to the Software, or your account for breach of this EULA, the AUP, or the Terms of Service, or for suspected misuse, security concerns, or unlawful conduct.

10.3 Effect of Termination. Upon termination, you will immediately cease using the Software, delete all local copies, and, upon request, certify deletion and destruction of Outputs and any derivative data, except for copies required to be retained for legal compliance.

11. INDEMNIFICATION

You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Tether and its affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Software in violation of this EULA, the AUP, or the Terms of Service; (b) your failure to comply with applicable law; or (c) any claims that any Outputs were used to make prohibited eligibility or adverse decisions.

12. DISCLAIMERS

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE."

13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TETHER'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS EULA OR THE SOFTWARE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO TETHER FOR THE SOFTWARE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM; OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS (US $100). IN NO EVENT WILL TETHER BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

14. EXPORT, SANCTIONS, AND COMPLIANCE

You will comply with all export control, sanctions, and trade laws. You represent that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national of any country subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions.

15. DATA PROCESSING; PRIVACY; DPA

Your use of the Software is subject to Tether's Privacy Policy. Enterprise customers processing personal data on Tether's behalf must enter into a separate Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with Tether.

16. APP STORE AND THIRD-PARTY DISTRIBUTION

If you obtained the Software from an app marketplace (such as the Apple App Store or Google Play), you agree that the marketplace's terms may also apply. Tether and the marketplace are independent parties; the marketplace has no obligation to provide support for the Software.

17. GOVERNING LAW; VENUE; INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

This EULA is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent federal law or mandatory laws of another jurisdiction apply. Subject to any arbitration agreement in the Terms of Service, the exclusive venue for any permitted court proceeding will be the state or federal courts located in Twin Falls, Idaho, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction in those courts. Notwithstanding any arbitration agreement, Tether may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent or stop unauthorized use, export, scraping, misuse of Outputs, or infringement of intellectual property.

18. MISCELLANEOUS

This EULA, together with the Terms of Service, the AUP, and the Privacy Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Tether regarding the Software. If any provision of this EULA is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision will be effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Tether.

2. SAFETY-ONLY PURPOSE

The Services are provided solely for personal safety, agent safety, identity-awareness, and security-related purposes in connection with real estate professional activities.

You may use the Services only to help assess, prepare for, document, or respond to legitimate personal safety concerns.

You may not use the Services, or any information obtained through the Services, for any prohibited purpose described in these Terms, including screening, eligibility, qualification, approval, rejection, ranking, housing, rental, employment, credit, insurance, lending, underwriting, or other decision-making purposes.

The Services are not designed, intended, or authorized for use in deciding whether any person is eligible for housing, real estate services, credit, employment, insurance, government benefits, licensing, tenancy, financing, or any other right, benefit, transaction, service, or opportunity.

3. NOT A CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCY; NO CONSUMER REPORTS

Tether is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) or similar state laws.

The Services do not provide “consumer reports” as defined by the FCRA and may not be used, in whole or in part, as a factor in establishing any person’s eligibility for:

• (e) tenancy;

• (f) rental opportunities;

• (g) real estate services;

You further agree that you will not represent to any person that Tether provides consumer reports, screening reports, tenant screening reports, investigative consumer reports, credit reports, background screening reports, risk scores, eligibility determinations, suitability determinations, or similar decision-making products.

4. NO HOUSING, RENTAL, OR REAL ESTATE ELIGIBILITY USE

You may not use the Services, or any information obtained through the Services, to decide or influence whether or how to provide real estate services to any person.

Without limitation, you may not use Tether information to:

• (a) accept, reject, qualify, disqualify, rank, prioritize, or screen any buyer, seller, renter, tenant, landlord, borrower, applicant, client, customer, lead, prospect, visitor, or other person;

The Services may be used only for legitimate personal safety awareness and safety preparation, not for housing-related decision-making.

5. FAIR HOUSING, CIVIL RIGHTS, AND REALTOR ETHICS

You are solely responsible for complying with all applicable federal, state, and local fair housing, civil rights, consumer protection, privacy, professional licensing, and real estate laws, rules, regulations, codes, and ethical obligations.

If you are a REALTOR or otherwise subject to the National Association of REALTORS Code of Ethics or any local, state, or professional real estate standards, you are responsible for complying with those obligations when using the Services.

You may not use the Services, or any information obtained through the Services, in any way that discriminates against, harasses, intimidates, excludes, discourages, disadvantages, or treats differently any person based on any protected characteristic, including:

• (a) race;

• (b) color;

• (c) religion;

• (d) sex;

• (e) sexual orientation;

• (f) gender identity;

• (g) disability;

• (h) familial status;

• (i) national origin;

• (j) source of income, where protected;

• (k) marital status, age, military or veteran status, citizenship, immigration status, ancestry, creed, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law; or

• (l) any characteristic protected under applicable fair housing, civil rights, real estate licensing, or professional ethics standards.

You may not use “safety” as a pretext for discrimination or unequal professional treatment.

Any safety procedures you apply in connection with your real estate business must be legitimate, individualized, reasonable, and applied in a consistent and non-discriminatory manner.

6. NO PROXY DISCRIMINATION

You may not use the Services, or any information obtained through the Services, to infer, estimate, guess, classify, profile, or make assumptions about a person’s protected characteristics.

You may not use names, phone numbers, addresses, neighborhoods, household information, public records, criminal records, sex offender registry information, ownership information, geographic information, language, accent, appearance, social media, associates, family relationships, or any other direct or indirect data as a proxy for protected characteristics.

You may not vary your real estate services, communications, meeting practices, showing practices, responsiveness, availability, safety procedures, or professional treatment based on actual or perceived protected characteristics or proxies for those characteristics.

7. PUBLIC-RECORD AND SAFETY LOOKUP INFORMATION

Certain Services may display information from public records, commercial data providers, government sources, or other third-party sources. This may include identity-related information, address-related information, phone-related information, ownership association information, criminal/public-record information, sex offender registry information, or other safety-relevant information, depending on availability and your subscription.

Tether does not create the underlying public records, does not control all third-party data sources, and does not guarantee that any lookup result is accurate, complete, current, matched to the correct person, or suitable for any particular purpose.

Public-record and lookup information may be incomplete, outdated, misreported, delayed, duplicated, incorrectly matched, associated with a different person, or affected by source errors.

You are responsible for using caution and independent judgment when reviewing any lookup result. You may not treat any lookup result as a definitive determination that a person is safe, unsafe, trustworthy, untrustworthy, eligible, ineligible, qualified, unqualified, suitable, unsuitable, guilty, dangerous, or non-dangerous.

8. ARRESTS, CONVICTIONS, AND CRIMINAL HISTORY INFORMATION

If criminal-history-related information is displayed through the Services, it is provided only for safety-awareness purposes and subject to these Terms.

An arrest is not a conviction and does not establish guilt, criminal conduct, dangerousness, or wrongdoing. You may not treat an arrest that did not result in a conviction as proof that a person committed a crime.

You may not use any criminal-history-related information, including convictions, arrests, charges, registry information, or other public records, to make housing, rental, real estate service, employment, credit, insurance, lending, underwriting, eligibility, or screening decisions.

You may not apply blanket exclusions, categorical refusals, or automatic adverse treatment based on criminal-history-related information obtained through the Services.

9. NO SAFETY RATING OR RISK SCORE

Tether does not determine whether any person is safe or unsafe.

Tether does not provide safety ratings, risk scores, trustworthiness scores, eligibility scores, suitability scores, approval recommendations, rejection recommendations, or instructions about whether you should meet with, work with, represent, serve, contact, show property to, or transact with any person.

Any information made available through the Services is limited safety-awareness information and must not be used as an eligibility, suitability, qualification, or service-decision tool.

Permitted sharing may include sharing limited, relevant information with emergency responders, law enforcement, designated emergency contacts, or internal safety personnel when necessary to address an immediate safety concern.

You may not share Tether information with sellers, landlords, lenders, employers, clients, customers, prospects, neighbors, social media audiences, public forums, or other third parties for screening, exclusion, reputational, discriminatory, retaliatory, or non-safety purposes.

16. SAFETY FEATURES AND EMERGENCY SERVICES LIMITATIONS

Tether may offer safety features such as SOS alerts, check-ins, monitoring, automated timers, proximity tools, location sharing, emergency contact notifications, and escalation workflows.

These features are designed to support safety awareness and emergency preparedness, but they cannot prevent all harm, detect all emergencies, guarantee rescue, guarantee law enforcement response, guarantee emergency medical response, or guarantee that any person will receive help within any particular time.

Tether is not a replacement for calling 911, contacting law enforcement, contacting emergency medical services, or using your own judgment in an emergency.

If you believe you are in immediate danger, you should contact emergency services directly when you are able to do so.

Safety features may depend on:

• (h) third-party networks;

• (i) emergency-contact availability;

• (j) monitoring-center availability;

17. LOCATION DATA AND DEVICE PERMISSIONS

Certain Services require access to device permissions, including location permissions, notification permissions, motion or sensor permissions, contact permissions, microphone permissions, camera permissions, or other device settings, depending on the feature.

If you disable permissions, limit background access, restrict notifications, use battery-saving settings, uninstall the application, use outdated software, or fail to configure your account correctly, some Services may not function properly.

Tether’s collection, use, disclosure, and retention of personal information, including precise location information, are described in the Privacy Policy.

18. SUBSCRIPTIONS, FEES, BILLING, AND CANCELLATION

Certain Services require payment of subscription fees or other charges. You agree to pay all applicable fees, taxes, and charges associated with your account or subscription.

(b) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY TO ALL THEORIES OF LIABILITY, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE, WARRANTY, AND OTHERWISE.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some limitations may not apply to you.

31. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Tether and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, service providers, and suppliers from and against any claims, demands, actions, proceedings, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to:

Tether reserves the right to control the defense of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate with Tether’s defense.

32. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH TETHER AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF.

You and Tether agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting each other. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally within thirty (30) days, either party may initiate binding arbitration as described below, except for claims that may be brought in small claims court or claims for injunctive or equitable relief related to intellectual property, unauthorized access, misuse of the Services, or violation of confidentiality or data restrictions.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its applicable rules, unless otherwise required by law.

The arbitration will be conducted in Twin Falls, Idaho, unless the parties agree otherwise or the arbitrator determines that another location is required by applicable law.

You and Tether waive any right to a jury trial.

33. CLASS ACTION WAIVER

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you and Tether agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative proceeding.

The arbitrator may not consolidate claims of more than one person and may not preside over any class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative proceeding unless required by law.

If this class action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, then that claim or request for relief may be severed and brought in court, while all remaining claims must be arbitrated.

34. GOVERNING LAW

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent federal law or the mandatory laws of another jurisdiction apply.

Nothing in these Terms limits any rights or obligations that cannot be waived under applicable law.

35. VENUE

Subject to the arbitration agreement in these Terms, the exclusive venue for any permitted court proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be the state or federal courts located in Twin Falls, Idaho.

Each party consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts.

36. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

Notwithstanding the arbitration agreement, Tether may seek temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent or stop actual or threatened unauthorized access, scraping, misuse of data, publication or redistribution of lookup results, infringement of intellectual property, breach of confidentiality, security threats, or other conduct that may cause immediate or irreparable harm to Tether, the Services, users, data subjects, or third parties.

37. MANDATORY LOCAL LAW

Some jurisdictions provide rights or impose obligations that cannot be limited by contract. Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit rights or obligations that cannot be waived under applicable law.

If the laws of a jurisdiction require that certain claims be governed by or heard under that jurisdiction’s laws, those laws will apply only to the extent required.

38. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

Tether may update these Terms from time to time.

If Tether makes material changes, Tether will provide notice as required by law, which may include notice through the Services, by email, or by posting updated Terms.

The updated Terms will be effective as of the “Last Updated” date unless otherwise stated.

Your continued use of the Services after updated Terms become effective means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Services.

Tether may require renewed acceptance of updated Terms before continued use of the Services.

39. EXPORT AND SANCTIONS COMPLIANCE

You may not use, export, re-export, import, or transfer the Services except as authorized by U.S. law and any other applicable laws.

You represent that you are not located in, organized under the laws of, or ordinarily resident in any country or territory subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions and that you are not listed on any U.S. government restricted-party list.

40. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

You consent to receive communications from Tether electronically, including by email, in-app message, push notification, SMS, or through the Services.

Electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that communications be in writing, to the extent permitted by law.

You are responsible for keeping your contact information current.

41. SMS, CALLS, AND NOTIFICATIONS

The Services may send SMS messages, calls, push notifications, or other communications for account, safety, emergency, monitoring, verification, marketing, or administrative purposes.

Message and data rates may apply. Delivery is not guaranteed and may depend on third-party carriers, device settings, and network availability.

You may opt out of marketing messages as described in those messages, but you may still receive transactional, safety, emergency, security, or account-related communications.

42. APP STORE TERMS

If you download the mobile application from the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or another app marketplace, your use may also be subject to the applicable app store terms.

Apple, Google, and other app marketplace providers are not responsible for the Services, support, claims, or liabilities arising from the Services, except as required by applicable app store terms.

43. ASSIGNMENT

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account without Tether’s prior written consent.

Tether may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, financing, sale of assets, or by operation of law.

44. FORCE MAJEURE

Tether will not be liable for any delay, failure, interruption, or inability to provide the Services due to events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, labor disputes, internet or telecommunications failures, power outages, government actions, cyberattacks, emergencies, public health events, third-party service failures, or app store or platform restrictions.

45. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if modification is not possible. The remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

46. NO WAIVER

Tether’s failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of its right to do so later.

47. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These Terms, together with all policies and agreements incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and Tether regarding the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements regarding the Services.

48. INCORPORATED POLICIES
