Please read these Terms of Use (“Terms”) carefully before using the BuilderLane.com website or any related services. By accessing or using our site, you agree to be bound by these Terms, our General Disclaimer, and all policies referenced herein (e.g., Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy). If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you should refrain from using BuilderLane.com.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By using BuilderLane.com (“BuilderLane”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), whether as a guest or registered user, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction) and capable of entering into a binding contract. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“User” or “you”) and BuilderLane. If you are using the site on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms. Your use of the site signifies acceptance of these Terms and our other policies.
2. Services Overview
BuilderLane.com is an online platform operating as an intermediary under applicable Indian laws (e.g., Information Technology Act, 2000), providing property and construction services listings. Our services include:
(a) Enabling users to list properties for sale or rent,
(b) Facilitating connections between users and developers, builders, agents, sellers, or landlords,
(c) Providing listings for construction-related services (e.g., contractors, architects, designers), and
(d) Offering informational content (e.g., market trends, guides, tools) to assist in real estate decisions.
We do not own, sell, or lease properties, nor do we provide construction services directly. BuilderLane is not a real estate broker, agent, or party to any transaction. All contracts for sale, rental, or services are strictly between the users involved.
3. User Registration and Accounts
Certain features (e.g., listing properties, contacting sellers) require creating an account. You agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to maintain the confidentiality of your login credentials. You are responsible for all activities under your account and must notify us immediately at contact@builderlane.com of any unauthorized use or security breach. BuilderLane is not liable for losses arising from your failure to comply with this section. We reserve the right to refuse registration or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or engage in fraudulent/abusive conduct.
4. Listing and Content Guidelines
Users posting content (e.g., property listings, service listings, descriptions, photos, videos, reviews, comments) must adhere to these guidelines:
- Accuracy: Provide accurate, truthful information about properties or services (e.g., price, location, specifications, availability). Promptly update listings if details change (e.g., property sold, price adjusted). Do not omit or misrepresent critical information.
- Legality and Compliance: Ensure you have the right to post content. Property listings must comply with applicable laws, including providing valid RERA registration numbers where required. Users must verify RERA compliance directly with developers or official RERA websites, as BuilderLane does not validate RERA registrations. Service providers must hold necessary licenses. Content violating laws (e.g., intellectual property, privacy) is prohibited.
- Quality and Decorum: Use high-quality images and clear descriptions. Do not post obscene, defamatory, harassing, fraudulent, or objectionable content. Avoid spammy or irrelevant promotional language.
- No Duplicate Listings: Do not post the same property or service multiple times to skew search results. Reposting is allowed after a reasonable period or for significant updates.
- Content Moderation: BuilderLane does not guarantee the accuracy of user-generated content (e.g., reviews, feedback) and may moderate or remove content deemed abusive or inaccurate.
- Rights Granted: By posting content, you grant BuilderLane a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify (for formatting/display), and publish your content for our services. This license ends when your content is removed.
BuilderLane reserves the right to refuse, deactivate, or remove any content violating these guidelines or deemed inappropriate, with or without notice.
5. User Obligations and Conduct
You agree to use BuilderLane responsibly and lawfully. You must not:
- Impersonate or Mislead: Do not impersonate others or misrepresent your identity/affiliation (e.g., posing as a buyer when you’re an agent).
- Interfere with Others’ Use: Do not disrupt BuilderLane’s functionality or user experience (e.g., hacking, introducing viruses, flooding requests).
- Data Extraction: Do not use automated tools (e.g., robots, scrapers) to access the site or harvest personal information without our written permission.
- Unauthorized Commercial Use: Do not use BuilderLane for unapproved commercial purposes (e.g., advertising unrelated products, sending spam).
- Compliance: Comply with all applicable laws (e.g., RERA, local building codes). Users outside India must ensure compliance with local and export/import laws.
6. Transactions Between Users
BuilderLane facilitates connections, but all transactions (e.g., property sale/rent, service hiring) are solely between the parties involved. We do not negotiate or execute deals. Users are responsible for transaction terms (e.g., pricing, contracts, warranties, payments). We recommend:
- Buyers verify property documents and seller identity.
- Sellers verify buyer credentials.
- Both parties use legal contracts and acknowledge payments.
- Engage professionals (e.g., lawyers, inspectors) for high-value transactions.
BuilderLane is not liable for disputes, claims, or damages arising from transactions. Report fraudulent behavior to contact@builderlane.com; we may suspend or investigate users but do not mediate disputes.
