Terms Of Use

Eligibility and accounts

The Service is invitation-only and intended for business use by authorized members of an organization with a YIMBY account. You must be at least 18 and authorized to act for your organization.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use or security concern.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the Service unlawfully or in violation of your organization’s authorization;
• access, or attempt to access, data belonging to another organization, or circumvent the Service’s security or tenant isolation;
• upload content that is unlawful, infringing, or harmful, or that you lack the right to submit;
• reverse engineer, decompile, scrape, or copy the Service, except as permitted by law;
• use the Service to build or support a competing product, or resell it without authorization;
• interfere with the operation of the Service or exceed applicable rate or usage limits.

Your content

You and your organization retain all rights in the data, documents, and other materials you submit to the Service (“Customer Content”).

You grant YIMBY a worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, store, process, transmit, and display Customer Content, and to share it with the AI providers and service providers described in our Privacy Notice, solely to operate and provide the Service and the outputs you request.

You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to submit Customer Content and that it does not violate any law or third-party right.

The Service is a tool; no guarantee of outcomes

The Service provides software tools, automation, and information to support your work. It does not make decisions for you and is not a substitute for your own judgment or independent professional advice.

YIMBY makes no guarantee, representation, or warranty of any kind regarding any result or outcome from your use of the Service, including any financial, investment, business, valuation, regulatory, or transactional outcome. The Service may produce inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable results.

You use the Service, outputs, and data at your own risk and assume full responsibility for all decisions you make and all actions and outcomes resulting from your use. All such decisions and outcomes are your sole responsibility.

AI outputs are informational only

The Service uses automated systems and third-party artificial intelligence to generate analyses, summaries, and other results (“Outputs”), and incorporates third-party market and property data. Outputs and data may be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date.

Outputs and data are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute financial, investment, legal, tax, accounting, appraisal, engineering, or other professional advice. You are solely responsible for independently verifying Outputs and data and for all decisions you make. Do not rely on the Service as the sole basis for any real estate, financial, or legal decision.

No professional or advisory relationship

Your use of the Service does not create any fiduciary, advisory, brokerage, agency, employment, or professional-client relationship between you and YIMBY. YIMBY is not your broker, agent, appraiser, attorney, accountant, lender, or financial, investment, or tax advisor, and does not provide professional advice. You are responsible for obtaining independent professional advice before acting.

Third-party data and services

The Service incorporates data, content, and services provided by third parties, including government data sources, mapping providers, property-data vendors, and AI providers. We do not control and are not responsible for the accuracy, availability, or terms of any third-party data or service, and your use of it may be subject to the third party’s own terms.

Availability, changes, and your data

The Service is provided on an “as available” basis. We deploy updates continuously and may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue features at any time, with or without notice, and we are not liable for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service.

You are responsible for maintaining your own backups of important Customer Content. To the maximum extent permitted by law, YIMBY is not liable for any loss, corruption, deletion, or unavailability of Customer Content or data.

Disclaimer of warranties

The Service, Outputs, and all data are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage. YIMBY does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, that defects will be corrected, that Outputs or data will be accurate, complete, current, or reliable, or that the Service will meet your requirements or achieve any particular result.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, YIMBY and its affiliates, and their respective members, officers, directors, employees, agents, and suppliers, will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or relating to the Service, Outputs, or data, whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other theory, and whether or not YIMBY has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, YIMBY will not be liable for any decision made or action taken in reliance on the Service, Outputs, or data; for any loss, corruption, or unavailability of data; for any unauthorized access to your data; or for any third-party data, content, or services.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, YIMBY’s total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amounts you paid YIMBY for the Service in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100).

These limitations are an essential basis of the agreement between you and YIMBY and apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless YIMBY and its affiliates, and their respective members, officers, directors, employees, and agents, from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your Customer Content, your use of the Service, any decision or action you take based on the Service, or your violation of these Terms or any law or third-party right.

Dispute resolution; arbitration and class-action waiver

To the maximum extent permitted by law, any dispute arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, seated in Kansas, rather than in court — except that either party may bring a qualifying claim in small-claims court.

Disputes will be brought only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. You and YIMBY each waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action.

Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause or notice, including for any violation of these Terms or to protect the Service or other users. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including content licenses you grant, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution — will survive.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes are effective when posted, as indicated by the “Effective” date above. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Kansas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to the arbitration section above, the exclusive venue for any dispute will be the state and federal courts located in Kansas, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

General

These Terms, together with our Privacy Notice, are the entire agreement between you and YIMBY regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements on the subject. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect and the unenforceable provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them. We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control. You and YIMBY are independent parties, and these Terms create no partnership, joint venture, or agency.
