Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using Showfer. By creating an account or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use Showfer.
1. About Showfer
Showfer, Inc. ("Showfer") operates a technology platform that facilitates connections between licensed real estate agents who need showing coverage ("Requesting Agents") and licensed real estate agents available to perform those showings ("Showing Agents"). Showfer is a marketplace platform — we do not employ showing agents, and we do not perform real estate brokerage services. All users must hold an active real estate license in their operating state.
2. Eligibility
- You must be at least 18 years of age.
- You must hold and maintain an active real estate license in good standing in the state(s) where you operate.
- You must be affiliated with an active brokerage in compliance with applicable state law.
- You must not be prohibited by applicable law from using the Platform.
- By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that all of the above are true and that you will notify Showfer immediately if any of these conditions change.
3. Account Registration
You must create an account to use Showfer. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update it as necessary. Showfer reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that contain inaccurate or misleading information.
4. Agent Verification
All Showing Agents are subject to license verification before they may accept jobs. Showfer checks license status through publicly available state real estate commission records. You authorize Showfer to perform these checks periodically during your time on the platform. If your license lapses or is suspended, you must immediately stop performing showings through Showfer and notify us at support@showfer.com. Performing showings with an invalid license is a violation of these Terms and may expose you to regulatory and legal liability.
5. The Showfer Marketplace
Requesting Agents may post showing requests specifying the property address, date and time, and any relevant instructions. Showfer's algorithm will match the request with available Showing Agents based on proximity, ratings, and availability.
Showing Agents may view and accept available showing jobs in their area. By accepting a job, you commit to appearing at the property at the agreed time, conducting the showing professionally, and providing a recap to the Requesting Agent promptly upon completion.
Showfer does not guarantee the availability of agents in all markets or at all times.
6. Fees and Payments
- Showing Agents are compensated per completed showing at the rate displayed in the app at the time of acceptance. Rates vary by market and job type.
- Requesting Agents are charged the showing fee plus an applicable service fee, which is displayed transparently before confirming a request.
- Payments are processed through Showfer's third-party payment processor. By using the Platform, you agree to that processor's terms of service.
- Showing Agents receive payouts on a weekly basis to their verified bank account. Showfer reserves the right to withhold payment if a job is disputed or if a policy violation is under investigation.
- All fees are in US dollars. Showfer is not responsible for fees charged by your bank or financial institution.
7. Cancellations
- Requesting Agents may cancel a confirmed showing without charge if cancelled more than 2 hours before the scheduled start time. Cancellations within 2 hours of the showing may result in a cancellation fee.
- Showing Agents who cancel a confirmed job with less than 2 hours' notice may be subject to penalties including reduced priority in the matching algorithm and, for repeated violations, account suspension.
- In the event of a Showing Agent cancellation, Showfer will attempt to match the request with another available agent. Showfer does not guarantee a replacement will be found.
8. Conduct Standards
All users agree to:
- Conduct showings professionally and in accordance with their brokerage's standards and applicable real estate law.
- Not solicit the clients of a Requesting Agent for personal business or attempt to redirect business relationships established through Showfer.
- Not submit false, misleading, or retaliatory ratings or reviews.
- Not use the Platform for any unlawful purpose or in any manner that could damage, disable, or impair the Platform.
- Not share account access with any other person.
- Treat all parties — other agents, clients, and homeowners — with respect and professionalism.
Showfer reserves the right to remove users who violate these standards, with or without prior notice.
9. Ratings and Reviews
Both Requesting Agents and Showing Agents may leave ratings after each completed showing. Ratings are used to inform future matching decisions and are displayed on user profiles. Ratings must reflect genuine experiences. Showfer may remove ratings that appear fraudulent or that violate these Terms.
10. Independent Contractor Status
Showing Agents using Showfer are independent contractors, not employees, agents, or partners of Showfer. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, joint venture, or partnership relationship. Showing Agents are responsible for their own taxes, insurance, professional compliance, and business expenses. Showfer does not withhold taxes from payments to Showing Agents. You may receive a Form 1099 if your earnings exceed applicable thresholds.
11. Liability and Insurance
Each agent is responsible for maintaining appropriate errors and omissions (E&O) insurance and any other insurance required by their brokerage or state law. Showfer does not provide insurance coverage for showings conducted through the Platform. Showfer's liability to any user is limited to the amount paid to or by that user through the Platform in the 90 days preceding the claim, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
12. Disputes Between Users
Showfer provides a framework for users to resolve disputes (such as quality concerns or no-shows) through our in-app support process. Showfer may, at its discretion, mediate disputes but is not obligated to do so and is not liable for the outcome of any dispute between users.
13. Intellectual Property
The Showfer Platform, including its software, design, trademarks, and content, is owned by Showfer, Inc. and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from any part of the Platform without our express written permission.
14. Termination
You may close your account at any time by contacting support@showfer.com. Showfer may suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these Terms, for inactivity, or for any other reason at our discretion. Upon termination, your right to use the Platform ceases immediately. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including payment obligations, dispute resolution, and limitation of liability — will survive.
15. Modifications to Terms
Showfer may update these Terms at any time. We will provide at least 14 days' notice of material changes via email or in-app notification. Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
16. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform that cannot be resolved informally will be resolved through binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, on an individual basis. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.
