Last updated: July 8, 2025

Ethica and Authorized Users obtain only a limited, revocable right to use the MLS Data as expressly provided in this Addendum.
2.2 General Attribution. Wherever MLS Data is displayed, Ethica will:
- identify the listing brokerage name and the contact information supplied by the listing Participant; and
- display the following disclaimer (or substantially similar wording mandated by the relevant MLS): “Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed accurate by the MLS.”
3 · Permitted Uses

3.2 Consumer-Facing Output. Authorized Users may share machine-generated reports, videos, or recommendations derived from MLS Data with prospective buyers and sellers, provided each output (i) pertains to a property or set of properties in which the consumer has expressed interest, (ii) includes the attribution required by Section 2, and (iii) omits any MLS fields designated confidential or restricted from public display.
4 · Prohibited Uses
Ethica and Authorized Users may not:
- copy, scrape, harvest, download, export, or otherwise obtain MLS Data for use outside the Platform;

5 · Data Accuracy & Disclaimer
5.1 As-Is Basis. MLS Data is provided “AS IS,” “WITH ALL FAULTS,” and “AS AVAILABLE.” Each MLS, Ethica, and the listing broker disclaim all express or implied warranties, including any warranty of accuracy, completeness, timeliness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
5.2 Verification Responsibility. Authorized Users and consumers are solely responsible for verifying MLS Data before relying on it in any real-estate transaction.

6.1 Safeguards. Ethica will maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards—including encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and audit logging—to protect MLS Data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
6.2 User Credentials. Authorized Users must keep their Platform credentials confidential and may not share access with anyone else. Ethica may revoke credentials immediately upon learning of misuse.

Last updated: August 10, 2026
1 · Ethica Assistant Service Description
1.1 Ethica Assistant. The “Ethica Assistant” (formerly known as “VoicePilot™”) is a voice-enabled, AI-powered software feature within the Ethica platform designed to assist Authorized Users with capturing information, organizing transaction details, and generating draft outputs to help populate real-estate-related forms and workflows based on user-provided input.
1.2 Assistive Tool Only. The Ethica Assistant is an assistive productivity tool only. It may generate draft text and may help prefill or organize information, but it does not prepare final documents, and it does not interpret, review, validate, or guarantee the legal sufficiency, accuracy, completeness, or compliance of any document, form, communication, or transaction.
2 · No Legal, Brokerage, or Professional Advice
The Ethica Assistant does not provide legal advice, brokerage advice, escrow or title services, tax advice, financial advice, or regulatory or compliance determinations. All outputs generated by the Ethica Assistant are based solely on user input and automated processing. Authorized Users remain solely responsible for reviewing all materials and for ensuring accuracy, completeness, legal compliance, MLS compliance, brokerage compliance, and suitability for use in any real-estate transaction.
3 · Voice & AI Technology Disclosure
3.1 Voice Recognition Limitations. The Ethica Assistant relies on voice recognition technology that may be affected by background noise, accents, interruptions, speech patterns, or technical limitations. Voice recordings and transcriptions may be inaccurate, incomplete, or misinterpreted.
3.2 AI Output Limitations. Artificial-intelligence outputs generated by the Ethica Assistant may contain errors, omissions, or unintended results and are not verified for factual or legal accuracy.
3.3 Mandatory User Review. The Ethica Assistant assists with drafting and form completion, but Authorized Users remain responsible for reviewing, correcting, approving, and determining whether all information and documents are accurate, complete, compliant, and ready for use, delivery, submission, filing, or signature.
3.4 Consent to Recordings; Notice. Authorized Users are solely responsible for providing legally sufficient notice and obtaining all required consents from any participant whose voice or communications may be recorded, transcribed, or otherwise processed through the Ethica Assistant, and for complying with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and brokerage/MLS policies governing recordings and communications.
3.5 Third-Party Processing. The Ethica Assistant may process User Content using third-party service providers (including transcription and AI processing providers) acting as service providers/subprocessors under the Terms.
3.6 Retention and Deletion. The Ethica Assistant records, including recordings, transcripts, prompts, dictated entries, generated outputs, form entries, transaction data, audit logs, support records, device/account identifiers, and related usage metadata, may be retained as needed to operate the Service, support users, maintain security and auditability, comply with legal obligations, respond to disputes or legal process, and preserve appropriate business records. Deletion requests may be limited where retention is required or appropriate for legal, compliance, audit, security, dispute-resolution, operational, backup, or business-record purposes.
3.7 Broker and Administrative Access. Ethica may disclose relevant Ethica Assistant records to authorized broker, brokerage administrator, C.A.R., support, compliance, security, legal, or other authorized representatives where Ethica determines the request is appropriately authorized and reasonably related to support, supervision, compliance, security, dispute review, legal obligations, or operation of the Service. Ethica may review such requests case by case and may limit disclosure based on authorization, privacy, security, compliance, and request scope.
4 · Responsibility for Forms, Filings, and Transactions
Ethica does not submit documents, forms, or filings generated or assisted by the Ethica Assistant to MLSs, brokerages, regulators, counterparties, or transaction platforms without the Authorized User’s instruction or authorization.
Ethica does not guarantee acceptance, accuracy, or timeliness of any document, form, or transaction. All responsibility for transaction execution, deadlines, disclosures, and compliance remains solely with the Authorized User and their brokerage.
5 · Data Use & MLS Compatibility
5.1 User Content. Voice recordings, transcriptions, and related inputs processed by the Ethica Assistant constitute User Content under the Terms.
5.2 MLS Data Controls. All use of MLS Data through the Ethica Assistant remains subject to the MLS Data Addendum. Nothing in this Addendum expands or modifies permitted MLS Data usage.
5.3 Ethica Assistant MLS/Listing Data Scope. For the Ethica Assistant, MLS/listing data is used only as needed to verify or populate property-related transaction details and is not offered as a searchable MLS interface. The Ethica Assistant does not store listing data except as reflected in forms, drafts, logs, or records created through the Service, subject to the MLS Data Addendum and applicable MLS rules.
5.4 No MLS Training Rights. MLS Data is not used to train general-purpose artificial-intelligence models except where expressly permitted under applicable MLS data-license agreements.
5.5 No External LLM Training. Ethica does not use user prompts, recordings, transcripts, transaction data, or outputs to train unrelated or external large language models.
6 · Limitation on Reliance & Use Restrictions
6.1 Limitation on Reliance. All Ethica Assistant outputs are assistive only and may not be relied upon as final, authoritative, complete, or accurate representations of transaction details, legal obligations, property characteristics, or compliance requirements.
6.2 No Consumer Reliance; No Fiduciary Duty. The Ethica Assistant does not create any agency, fiduciary, or professional duty and does not make representations or warranties regarding any property or transaction. Authorized Users must not present Ethica Assistant outputs to consumers or other parties as authoritative or as a substitute for professional review.
6.3 Fair Housing; Non-Discrimination. Authorized Users may not use the Ethica Assistant to generate, suggest, or distribute content that is discriminatory, expresses a preference or limitation, constitutes steering, or otherwise violates applicable fair housing laws or REALTOR® ethical obligations. Authorized Users are solely responsible for ensuring all communications and materials comply with applicable fair housing and advertising laws and professional standards.
6.4 No Decisioning or Professional Advice. The Ethica Assistant does not provide legal advice, brokerage advice, compliance determinations, or professional advice, and does not make eligibility, approval, ranking, pricing, screening, or access decisions.
7 · Suspension or Limitation of the Ethica Assistant
Ethica may suspend, limit, or disable Ethica Assistant functionality at any time if misuse is suspected, if required by MLS rules or legal obligations, if continued operation poses legal or compliance risk, or if applicable fees are unpaid.
8 · Disclaimer of Warranties
The Ethica Assistant is provided “AS IS,” “WITH ALL FAULTS,” and “AS AVAILABLE.” Without limiting the Terms, Ethica expressly disclaims all warranties related to the Ethica Assistant, including any warranties of transcription accuracy, AI output accuracy, document completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or transaction suitability.
9 · Conflicts & Order of Precedence
If any provision of this Addendum conflicts with the Terms, this Addendum controls solely with respect to Ethica Assistant functionality. If any provision conflicts with the MLS Data Addendum, the MLS Data Addendum controls with respect to MLS Data. All other provisions of the Terms remain in full force and effect.
Except as expressly set forth in this Addendum, all other provisions of the Terms remain unchanged.
