Terms of Service

Last updated: June 27, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of ResiGrade (“we,” “our,” or “us”) and our website at resigrade.com (the “Platform”). By using the Platform you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use ResiGrade. By using the Platform you represent that you meet this requirement and that all information you provide is accurate and complete.

2. Your Account

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at legal@resigrade.com if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

You may not create accounts on behalf of another person without their authorization, use automated means to create accounts, or share your account with others.

3. User Content

Your content. You retain ownership of reviews, ratings, and other content you submit (“User Content”). By submitting User Content, you grant ResiGrade a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, reproduce, distribute, and use that content in connection with operating and promoting the Platform.

Accuracy and honesty. You represent that your reviews reflect your genuine, firsthand experience and honest opinion. You may not submit reviews for buildings where you have not resided or with which you have no direct experience, submit fake or misleading reviews, or post reviews on behalf of another person or as part of an organized effort.

Prohibited content. You may not submit User Content that:

  • Is defamatory, harassing, threatening, or abusive toward any individual.
  • Contains personal information about private individuals without their consent.
  • Infringes any third-party intellectual property right.
  • Is false, fraudulent, or intentionally misleading.
  • Violates any applicable law or regulation.
  • Contains spam, advertisements, or promotional material.

We reserve the right to remove any User Content that violates these Terms or that we determine, in our sole discretion, is otherwise harmful to the Platform or its users.

4. Profile Claims

Building owners, property managers, and authorized representatives may claim entity profiles on ResiGrade. By submitting a claim, you represent that you are authorized to act on behalf of the entity and that all information you provide is accurate.

Approved claimants may edit certain fields on their entity profile (such as description, amenities, and policies) and upload photos. All submitted photos are subject to review before appearing publicly. ResiGrade reserves the right to remove content that does not meet our standards or that misrepresents the entity.

Claiming a profile does not give you the right to remove, edit, or influence resident reviews. Review content is governed exclusively by ResiGrade's moderation policies.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Platform for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Platform or its underlying systems.
  • Scrape, crawl, or otherwise extract data from the Platform in bulk without our prior written consent.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the operation of the Platform or the servers or networks connected to it.
  • Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.
  • Use the Platform to transmit malware, viruses, or other harmful code.

6. Intellectual Property

The Platform and all content, features, and functionality provided by ResiGrade (excluding User Content) are owned by ResiGrade and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Nothing in these Terms grants you a right to use any ResiGrade trademark, logo, or other proprietary information without our prior written consent.

7. Disclaimers

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Reviews on ResiGrade represent the opinions of individual users and do not constitute professional advice. We do not verify the accuracy of user-submitted reviews beyond our standard moderation process. You should conduct your own due diligence before making any residential or investment decisions.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, RESIGRADE AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING UNDER THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ResiGrade and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Platform, your User Content, or your violation of these Terms.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or that your account poses a risk to the Platform or other users.

You may close your account at any time by contacting us at legal@resigrade.com. Upon termination, the provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive will remain in effect.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Platform shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, by email. Your continued use of the Platform after any changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
