1. Use of Our Website

Dunes Properties provides this website to share real estate information, display property listings, connect prospective buyers and sellers with real estate professionals, and provide information about our services.

You agree to use the website only for lawful purposes. You may not:

• Use the website in violation of any applicable law or regulation.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website, its systems, or its data.
• Interfere with the website’s operation, security, or availability.
• Use automated tools to scrape, copy, collect, or extract website content or property data without our prior written permission, except as permitted by applicable law.
• Submit false, misleading, fraudulent, or unauthorized information through website forms or other features.
• Use information obtained through the website to harass others, violate their privacy, or engage in unlawful activity.

We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access to website features when we reasonably believe these terms have been violated or when necessary to protect our website, users, or business.

2. Real Estate Information and Property Listings

Property information on this website is provided for general informational purposes. Although we make reasonable efforts to maintain accurate and current information, listings, property descriptions, photographs, measurements, prices, availability, and other details may change or contain errors or omissions.

Some property information may be supplied by property owners, listing agents, multiple listing services, or other third parties. Dunes Properties does not guarantee that all information is complete, current, or accurate.

Property availability, pricing, features, and terms are subject to change without notice. Information displayed online should be independently verified before you rely on it when making a real estate decision.

Nothing on this website constitutes a guarantee that a property is available for purchase or that a transaction will be completed on any particular terms.

3. No Professional or Legal Advice

The content on this website is intended for general informational purposes and does not constitute legal, tax, financial, mortgage, inspection, appraisal, or other professional advice.

Information about real estate markets, property values, ownership costs, or potential investment returns is not a guarantee of future results. You should consult the appropriate qualified professionals before making decisions that require specialized advice.

Communications through this website do not, by themselves, establish an agency relationship, representation agreement, or other contractual relationship with Dunes Properties or any individual agent. Any such relationship is subject to the applicable agreements and requirements of law.

4. Website Registration and Communications

Certain website features may allow you to submit contact information, create an account, save properties, request property information, or communicate with our agents.

You agree to provide accurate information when using these features and to update your information when necessary.

By submitting an inquiry, you authorize Dunes Properties to use the information you provide to respond to your request and communicate with you about the services or properties in which you have expressed interest, consistent with applicable law and our Privacy Policy.

Submitting a general inquiry or providing a telephone number does not, by itself, constitute consent to receive marketing text messages or automated marketing calls. Where such consent is required, we will obtain it through the applicable consent process.

5. Text Messages and Mobile Communications

Dunes Properties may offer text messaging programs for real estate inquiries, property alerts, listing notifications, appointment reminders, follow-up communications, and marketing or promotional messages.

Participation in a messaging program is subject to the disclosures and consent requirements presented when you sign up for that program.

Where applicable:

• Message frequency varies by program.
• Message and data rates may apply.
• You may opt out of recurring text messages by replying STOP.
• For assistance, reply HELP when available or contact Dunes Properties using the contact information below.
• Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of purchasing property or obtaining real estate services.

Messages may be sent using a company telephone number or an individual agent’s telephone number, as identified in the applicable messaging disclosures.

Opting out of one messaging program may not automatically opt you out of a separate program for which you independently provided consent.

For additional information about our handling of mobile information and messaging consent, please review our Privacy Policy and Mobile Terms of Service.

6. Intellectual Property and Copyright

Unless otherwise indicated, the website and its content, including text, graphics, logos, design elements, photographs, videos, marketing materials, and other original materials, are owned by or licensed to Dunes Properties and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

We may use information submitted through forms and other website features to respond to your request, provide services, improve our operations, and communicate with you as described in our Privacy Policy.

We will handle personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law. Submitting feedback or suggestions does not transfer ownership of your personal information or grant us unrestricted rights to use it for unrelated purposes.

8. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, tools, or services. These third parties operate independently and may have their own terms, privacy policies, and practices.

Dunes Properties does not control and is not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability, security, or privacy practices of third-party websites. A link on our website does not necessarily constitute an endorsement of the linked service or its content.
