Terms of Service
Effective Date: August 6, 2026 | Version 1.5
Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Real Deal Pro platform ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you disagree with any part of these Terms, you may not access the Service.
These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service, including but not limited to real estate professionals, clients, and third-party integrators.
Who provides the Service. The Real Deal Pro platform is a Software-as-a-Service product operated by Real Deal Pro, Inc. (the "Operator," "we," "us," or "our"), a company separate from the Iowa real estate brokerage Real Deal Realty, PLLC. Real Deal Pro, Inc. is a software company and is not a real estate brokerage.
The Operator is your software vendor, and is a data controller for your account data as described in our Privacy Policy. Your use of the Service creates no brokerage relationship with the Operator: the Operator is not your real estate broker, does not supervise your real estate practice, and holds no real estate license. If you are a licensed real estate professional, the brokerage you are licensed under — whichever firm that is — remains responsible for supervising your practice.
Real Deal Realty, PLLC is a separate company and is not a party to these Terms, except that it is an intended beneficiary of the limitation-of-liability and indemnification provisions below. These Terms govern your use of the software only. If you have separately signed a written agreement with Real Deal Realty, PLLC, that agreement — not these Terms — governs that relationship.
Important: By using our electronic signature features, you specifically consent to conduct business electronically and agree to the electronic signature provisions below. Before any e-signature is captured, you will be shown a separate ESIGN consumer disclosure under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c)(1) describing your right to paper copies, your right to withdraw consent (in-app or by email), the hardware/software requirements, and the consequences of withdrawal.
Account Terms
Account Creation
- • You must be at least 18 years old to use this Service
- • You must provide accurate and complete registration information
- • You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials
- • You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to your account
Account Types
Real Deal Pro supports the following plan/account types. Every new account starts with a 14-day free trial of the full software (no credit card) as an Independent user — you do not choose a plan or account type at signup. You choose a paid plan later, at any time, by upgrading.
- • Independent Agent: Licensed real estate professionals operating with their own brokerage
- • Team Leader: Managing broker or team leader with team management capabilities
- • Team Member: Agents operating under a team leader with limited administrative access
Electronic Signatures (ESIGN/UETA)
Our electronic signature services comply with the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN Act, 15 U.S.C. §7001 et seq.) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), adopted in Iowa as Iowa Code ch. 554D (legal effect of electronic signatures under §554D.108).
Electronic Signature Consent
By using our e-signature features, you consent to:
- • Conduct transactions electronically
- • Receive documents and notices electronically
- • Use electronic signatures with the same legal effect as handwritten signatures
- • Accept that electronic records satisfy legal requirements for written documents
Hardware & Software Requirements
To access, view, sign, retain, and print electronic records you will need:
- • A current desktop or mobile web browser with TLS 1.2+ support — Google Chrome 100+, Mozilla Firefox 100+, Apple Safari 15+, or Microsoft Edge 100+
- • JavaScript and cookies enabled
- • A built-in or installed PDF viewer (e.g., the PDF viewer integrated into the browsers listed above, Adobe Acrobat Reader, or Preview on macOS)
- • A stable internet connection
- • An active email address capable of receiving messages from
@real-deal-pro.com - • Sufficient local storage (or a printer) to download and retain a copy of each signed document for your records
If we materially change the hardware or software needed to access electronic records, we will notify you and give you the opportunity to withdraw your consent without charge under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c)(1)(D).
Withdrawal of Consent: You may withdraw your consent to electronic transactions at any time by contacting support@real-deal-pro.com. However, withdrawal will not affect the validity of transactions completed before withdrawal.
Paper Copies: You may request a paper copy of any electronically signed document or record by contacting support@real-deal-pro.com. Paper copies will be provided within 10 business days of your request at no cost to you, consistent with the separate ESIGN consumer disclosure you acknowledged before signing.
Consent Scope: Your consent to electronic transactions applies to all transactions conducted through the Real Deal platform during your use of the Service. This includes, but is not limited to, purchase agreements, addenda, disclosures, and other real estate documents.
Subscriptions, Auto-Renewal, Cancellation, and Refunds
Subscription Billing
Real Deal is offered on a paid subscription basis. You may select a monthly or annual plan at the price disclosed at checkout. Subscription fees are charged in advance to the payment method you have on file at the start of each billing period and are denominated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.
Free Trials
New accounts begin with a 14-day free trial of the full software. Free trials do not require a credit card and do not convert into a paid subscription; we do not charge you at the end of a trial, and there is nothing to cancel to avoid a charge — you are only billed if you affirmatively choose a paid plan. At the end of the trial period, your account moves to our Free plan, which has reduced limits (currently up to 3 active deals and 100 clients, single user), and you keep access to the data you created during the trial. If your trial included multiple team seats, editing is paused at the end of the trial until a paid team plan is selected, because the Free plan is a single seat; your data remains accessible to view. Only one free trial is permitted per person and per company; we may decline service or revoke trial access if we detect abuse of the trial system (for example, repeated sign-ups using different email addresses to extend a free trial).
Auto-Renewal
Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period for another period of the same length, at the then-current price for that plan, until cancelled. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method on file for each renewal until you cancel.
You can review your upcoming renewal date, the amount that will be charged, and the plan that is renewing at any time in Settings → Billing, and you can cancel there before the renewal date so that you are not charged for the next term. Auto-renewal applies to paid subscriptions only; a free trial does not renew into a paid plan, because no payment method is collected for it.
How to Cancel
You can cancel your subscription at any time from Settings → Billing inside the application, or by emailing support@real-deal-pro.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current billing period: you will retain full access to the Service through that date and will not be charged again.
Refunds
Except as required by applicable law, subscription fees are non-refundable and we do not issue prorated refunds for unused portions of a billing period. Customers in jurisdictions with mandatory refund or withdrawal rights — including, without limitation, the 14-day cooling-off period under EU consumer-protection law — are entitled to those statutory rights regardless of this policy. To exercise a statutory refund right, contact support@real-deal-pro.com with your account email and the applicable jurisdiction.
Failed Payments
If a renewal payment fails (for example, an expired card or insufficient funds), your account will enter a three (3) day grace period during which we will retry the charge and notify you so you can update your payment method. If the payment still has not succeeded at the end of the grace period, access to the Service will be suspended and the subscription will be cancelled. You may re-subscribe at any time from Settings → Billing.
Disputes and Chargebacks
If you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute with your bank or card issuer, we may suspend your account pending resolution of the dispute. We encourage you to contact support@real-deal-pro.com first so we can attempt to resolve the issue directly.
Price Changes
We may change subscription prices from time to time. We will provide at least thirty (30) days' advance notice of any price change, by email or in-app notification. Any new price applies starting at your next renewal after the notice period; you may cancel before that renewal if you do not wish to continue at the new price.
Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the Service to:
- • Violate any applicable laws or regulations
- • Infringe upon the rights of others
- • Upload malicious code or attempt to compromise system security
- • Impersonate another person or entity
- • Engage in fraudulent activities
- • Harvest or collect user information without consent
- • Interfere with the proper functioning of the Service
Limitations and Disclaimers

Aggregate liability cap. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY OF REAL DEAL PRO, INC. (OPERATOR OF THE REAL DEAL PRO PLATFORM) AND ITS AFFILIATES (INCLUDING REAL DEAL REALTY, PLLC, A SEPARATELY LICENSED IOWA REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE), AND THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS, FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION (CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE), SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (a) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100) OR (b) THE TOTAL FEES YOU PAID TO US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
THIS CAP DOES NOT APPLY TO (i) YOUR OBLIGATION TO PAY FEES YOU OWE, (ii) LIABILITIES THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW (FOR EXAMPLE, LIABILITY FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD, OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT IN JURISDICTIONS WHERE SUCH LIMITATIONS ARE PROHIBITED), OR (iii) YOUR INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER THESE TERMS.
Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
Not Legal Advice
Real Deal Pro provides software tools and standardized, fill-in document templates to assist licensed real estate professionals. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is formed by your use of the Service. You are responsible for confirming that any document you generate is appropriate for your transaction and jurisdiction, and you should consult a licensed attorney for legal advice.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Real Deal Pro, Inc. (operator of the Real Deal Pro platform) and its affiliates (including Real Deal Realty, PLLC, a separately licensed Iowa real estate brokerage), and their officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:
- • Your violation of these Terms of Service
- • Your violation of any third-party rights, including intellectual property or privacy rights
- • Your violation of any applicable laws, rules, or regulations
- • Your use of the Service, including any content you submit or transactions you conduct
- • Any real estate transaction in which you participate using the Service
- • Any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by you
- • Your negligence or willful misconduct in connection with the Service
This indemnification obligation will survive the termination of your account and these Terms.
Intellectual Property
The Service and its original content, features, and functionality are owned by Real Deal Pro, Inc. and are protected by international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws.
You retain ownership of content you upload to the Service, but grant us a license to use, store, and process that content as necessary to provide the Service.
Termination
We may terminate or suspend your account immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including breach of these Terms or applicable law. You may terminate your account at any time from Settings → Account → Delete account or by emailing support@real-deal-pro.com.
Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute-resolution provisions.
Data Export — 30-Day Window. For thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination, you may request a structured export of your account data (deals, clients, documents, invoices, and signed records) by emailing privacy@real-deal-pro.com. We will deliver the export as a downloadable archive (JSON for relational data, PDF or original-format files for documents) within 10 business days at no charge.
After the 30-day window, most account data is purged. Records we are required to retain by law — including signed brokerage records (IAC 481—2012.4 and 481—2013.5, formerly 193E—12.4 and 193E—13.5: 5 years), tax forms (IRS-required periods), e-signature audit trails (ESIGN/UETA evidentiary periods), and breach-incident logs — remain accessible to you on request for the applicable retention period as described in our Privacy Policy.

Dispute Resolution
Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Iowa, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. If you reside in a state whose consumer protection law provides that your home state's law applies notwithstanding a contractual choice of law (for example California Civil Code §1751 (CLRA non-waiver) and similar provisions), that state's law governs your consumer rights under these Terms to the extent required by such law.
Informal Resolution First
Before filing any formal dispute, you agree to first contact us at legal@real-deal-pro.com to attempt to resolve the dispute informally. We will make good faith efforts to resolve any dispute within 60 days of receiving your notice.
Binding Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
If informal resolution is unsuccessful, you and the Operator agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (or, where you use the Service for business rather than personal, household, or family purposes, its Commercial Arbitration Rules), as modified by this section. The current rules and fee schedules are available at adr.org. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement; Iowa law governs these Terms.
Costs. For disputes covered by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, you pay only the consumer filing fee those Rules set (or no filing fee where the Rules so provide); the Operator pays all remaining AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees. The Operator will not seek to recover its arbitration fees or attorneys’ fees from you except to the extent the AAA Rules or applicable law permit for a claim the arbitrator finds frivolous or brought for an improper purpose. There is no “loser pays” cost-shifting against you beyond the AAA caps.
Location. Any in-person hearing will take place in Johnson County, Iowa (where the Operator is located); however, you may elect to have any hearing held in the county of your residence, or to participate by telephone, video, or document submission, as provided by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules.
Process and remedies. Each party may be represented by counsel of its choice at its own expense. The arbitrator may award any individual relief a court could award under applicable law or in equity, and nothing in this section limits any statutory remedy, damages, or other relief otherwise available to you. The arbitrator’s award is final and binding, subject only to the limited judicial review available under the Federal Arbitration Act.
Your Right to Opt Out (30 Days)
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement and the class-action waiver below within 30 days of first accepting these Terms (or, if this section is added later, within 30 days of its effective date) by emailing legal@real-deal-pro.com from or referencing the email address on your account, stating that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms or your use of the Service, and we will not penalize you for opting out. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in the courts identified below.
Class Action Waiver
YOU AND REAL DEAL PRO, INC. (THE "OPERATOR") AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Unless both you and the Operator agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.
This waiver does not apply to a claim for public injunctive relief, which may be brought in court; any such claim is severed and stayed pending individual arbitration of all other claims. If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) will be severed and brought in the courts identified below rather than in class arbitration, and the remainder of this section will continue to apply.
Exceptions
- • Small Claims: Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court if the claim qualifies
- • Injunctive Relief: Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement of intellectual property rights
Jurisdiction for Non-Arbitrable Claims
For any claims not subject to arbitration, any legal action or proceeding will be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Johnson County, Iowa, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
Time Limitation
Any claim or dispute must be filed within one (1) year after the claim arose, or be forever barred, except where applicable law requires a longer period, in which case the shortest period the law permits applies. This limitation applies regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise.
Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, we will provide at least 30 days' notice prior to any new terms taking effect.
By continuing to access or use our Service after those revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms.
