We reserve the right to remove any listing that violates these rules without prior notice.

5. Verification & Approval Process

All listings submitted through ቤትfinder are subject to a manual review process. We strive to verify listings within 24 hours of submission.

7. AI-Powered Features

ቤትfinder provides AI-generated property descriptions and price estimates as a convenience tool only. These outputs are based on algorithmic models and do not constitute professional valuations, legal advice, or guarantees. Users should conduct independent due diligence before making any property transaction. AI-generated content may contain errors; always verify property details directly with the seller or owner.

8. Fees & Payments

Basic property listing on ቤትfinder is currently free of charge. We reserve the right to introduce premium listing tiers, featured placement fees, or company registration fees in the future. Any such changes will be communicated with at least 14 days' notice via the Platform or email.

You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our written consent. User-uploaded content (photos, descriptions) remains your property; by uploading you grant ቤትfinder a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display it on the Platform.

Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you have paid to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

13. Disputes Between Users

ቤትfinder is a marketplace platform. Any disputes arising between buyers, sellers, landlords, or tenants are between those parties directly. We encourage users to contact our support team to report fraud or misrepresentation, but ቤትfinder is not a party to transactions and assumes no responsibility for resolving user-to-user disputes.
