Legal Disclaimer

1. Nature and Purpose of the Services

EMLAKIE is an independent, online informational advertising and connection platform designed to help landlords and prospective tenants discover each other. The Services provide a venue for users to post and browse rental listings.

The Services do not participate in, negotiate, arrange, broker, manage, or consummate any rental transaction, lease agreement, sale, purchase, or any other contract between users. EMLAKIE is a passive conduit of information only.

2. No Agency Relationship Created

EMLAKIE is an informational platform only. The Services do not act as a real estate agent or broker with respect to any transaction facilitated between users.

Your use of the Services does not create, establish, or imply any agency, fiduciary, broker-client, or representative relationship between you and EMLAKIE LLC. Merely accessing, browsing, submitting a listing, or contacting a landlord or tenant through the platform does not constitute acceptance of representation by any real estate broker or agent, and no such relationship shall be implied or inferred from any such action.

Users who wish to engage a licensed real estate professional to represent them in a transaction are advised to retain one independently and enter into a written agency agreement that complies with applicable law.

3. No Professional Advice of Any Kind

Nothing on the Services constitutes legal, financial, tax, accounting, real estate, investment, or any other form of professional advice. No information published here should be relied upon as a substitute for consultation with a qualified professional.

All content on the Services — including listing descriptions, neighborhood information, and any communications from EMLAKIE or its operators — is provided for general informational purposes only. Before making any decision regarding renting, leasing, or signing any contract, you should independently consult with:

• A licensed attorney for legal advice specific to your situation
• A licensed real estate broker or agent for real estate guidance
• A certified public accountant (CPA) for tax and accounting matters
• A licensed financial advisor for investment and financial planning decisions

Reliance on any information provided on the Services without seeking qualified professional advice is done entirely at your own risk. EMLAKIE LLC expressly disclaims all liability for any action taken or not taken based on the content of the Services.

4. No Warranty on Third-Party Content

All rental listings, property descriptions, photographs, pricing information, and other content displayed on the Services are submitted by unaffiliated, independent third-party users. EMLAKIE does not independently verify, screen, endorse, warrant, or guarantee:

• The accuracy, completeness, or truthfulness of any listing or user-submitted content
• The identity, background, creditworthiness, or legal standing of any landlord, tenant, or other user
• The legal ownership of any property listed
• The habitability, safety, or condition of any property
• The compliance of any listing with applicable federal, state, or local laws

EMLAKIE expressly disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

5. User Responsibility and Due Diligence

All users — whether landlords, tenants, or other visitors — are solely and exclusively responsible for conducting their own thorough independent investigation and due diligence before taking any action, including:

• Verifying the identity and good standing of any other party
• Inspecting any property in person prior to signing any agreement or paying any funds
• Confirming ownership of a property through the relevant county assessor or recorder
• Verifying that a listing complies with all applicable local, state, and federal laws
• Consulting with qualified legal, financial, or real estate professionals as appropriate
• Reviewing and negotiating the terms of any lease or rental agreement independently

Fraud Risk Notice: While we do our best to reduce fraud through monitoring and verification measures, we cannot guarantee 100% protection against fraud or misrepresentation. By using the Services, you acknowledge and accept that you do so at your own risk. EMLAKIE LLC shall not be liable for any losses, damages, or harm resulting from fraudulent activity by any third party.

6. Fair Housing Compliance

All landlords and property owners posting listings on the Services are independently required to comply with all applicable fair housing laws, including:

• Federal Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. § 3601 et seq.)
• California Fair Employment and Housing Act (Gov. Code § 12955 et seq.) — prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, disability, sexual orientation, source of income, marital status, ancestry, and other protected classes
• All applicable state and local anti-discrimination ordinances

EMLAKIE does not endorse, condone, or permit discriminatory listings or conduct. Any listing found to violate fair housing laws may be removed at EMLAKIE's sole discretion. EMLAKIE is not liable for discriminatory acts committed independently by third-party users.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, EMLAKIE LLC, its owner(s), operators, officers, agents, successors, and assigns shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages of any kind, including but not limited to:

• Physical injury, property damage, or personal harm arising from interactions between users
• Financial loss, fraud, or theft resulting from reliance on user-submitted content
• Loss of data, revenue, profits, or business opportunity
• Any damages resulting from unauthorized access to or use of the Services

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory asserted — whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise — even if EMLAKIE has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

8. Indemnification and Hold Harmless

By using the Services, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless EMLAKIE LLC, its owner(s), officers, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, and assigns from and against any and all claims, actions, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses — including reasonable attorneys' fees — arising out of or related to:
