Scope & Applicability

These Seller Terms (“Seller Agreement”) govern all individual property owners, co-owners, power of attorney holders, and real estate consultants (“Sellers”) who register to publish individual residential apartments, independent houses/villas, commercial spaces, or land parcels on Yards & Acres. These terms operate in supplement to the Master Terms & Conditions.

Ownership & Authority to Advertise

By publishing any property listing on Yards & Acres, the Seller unequivocally represents and warrants that:

  • They are the sole lawful registered owner of the property, or have been formally authorized in writing by all co-owners or titleholders to market the asset.
  • In the case of real estate consultants or mandated agents, they hold a valid, subsisting written brokerage mandate or authority letter from the registered titleholder.
  • The property is not encumbered by undisclosed court injunctions, attachment orders, bank SARFAESI recovery proceedings, or ongoing government land acquisition notices.
3

Listing Quality, Pricing & Information Accuracy

Sellers agree to maintain rigorous standards of accuracy in every advertisement:

Photographs: All uploaded photos must be genuine, recent, and depict the actual physical property. Uploading stock imagery or images belonging to other properties is prohibited.

Pricing: Listed prices must represent the genuine expected consideration. Hidden escalation charges or misleading teaser prices are strictly disallowed.

Measurements: Super built-up area, carpet area (in RERA standard definition), and plot dimensions in Square Yards, Guntas, or Acres must be precise.

Status Updates: If the property is sold, under active agreement, or withdrawn, the Seller must immediately mark the listing as “Sold” or delete it.

4

Strict Prohibitions for Sellers

Sellers must strictly NOT:

  • Upload fictitious listings, duplicate listings across multiple accounts, or bait-and-switch properties.
  • Impersonate titleholders or publish another person’s private contact or Aadhaar/PAN details without written consent.
  • Falsely claim government layout approvals, HMDA/GHMC permissions, or DTCP approvals where unverified.
  • Attempt to manipulate, bypass, or circumvent platform listing upload limits through logging out, refreshing browsers, or API tampering.
  • Harvest, sell, syndicate, or spam buyer leads received via the Platform with unrelated marketing campaigns.

Seller Subscription Plans & Upload Quotas

To maintain listing ecosystem integrity, Yards & Acres enforces structured subscription tiers. Current plan parameters are structured as follows:

FREE TIER

Allocates 1 property upload. Ideal for individual homeowners testing our discovery network.

Quota is strictly consumed once the 1st property is published.

GOLD PLAN

Allocates up to 5 property uploads with 1 Year (365 days) active listing validity.

Priority listing charged separately if chosen.

PLATINUM PLAN

Allocates up to 10 property uploads with 1 Year (365 days) active listing validity.

Includes Priority Listing feature without extra fee.

Note: Tier subscription prices and add-on packs are configured by Platform Administration and displayed transparently on the upgrade modal prior to checkout.

6

Server-Side Quota Enforcement Rules

Every listing creation attempt is verified directly against backend database ledgers using Supabase Row Level Security and server endpoints.

Enforcement Guarantee: Deleting an active listing, logging out and logging back in, switching devices, or clearing local browser caches does not replenish consumed listing quotas. Once an upload slot is utilized to publish an approved or submitted property, the slot is permanently consumed. Sellers desiring further uploads must purchase add-on packs or upgrade their tier.

7

Priority Listing Policy for Sellers

Sellers may activate Priority Listing during property submission or from their seller dashboard.

  • Free & Gold Plan Sellers: Priority Listing is available as an optional promotional add-on subject to payment of the applicable priority fee.
  • Platinum Plan Sellers: Priority Listing is fully included within the plan entitlements.

Priority boost elevates the listing’s prominence across algorithmic search results for 30 days. Priority status does not guarantee buyer inquiries, inspection bookings, or property sales.

8

Lead Handling & Buyer Privacy Standards

When prospective buyers submit enquiries, contact details are forwarded to the Seller only after passing platform verification. Sellers receiving verified leads agree to:

  • Contact the prospective buyer within 24 to 48 hours in a professional, courteous manner.
  • Update lead progression status (Contacted, Site Visit, Converted, or Closed) on the Seller Portal.
  • Never transmit unsolicited commercial spam, third-party marketing, or disclose buyer details to outside telemarketing agencies.
9

Administrative Review, Suspension & Penalties

Yards & Acres reserves the absolute right to audit, decline, unpublish, or permanently delete any listing, and suspend or terminate any Seller account without refund, if the Seller: (a) provides fraudulent title data; (b) refuses to furnish proof of authority upon inquiry; (c) engages in abusive behavior toward prospective buyers; or (d) attempts to exploit technical vulnerabilities.
