They are simply meant to establish the proprietary nature of the valuable resources provided to you as an ACRE® graduate.

In addition, the governing body, the ACRE Council LLC, is committed to protecting your privacy on the website, the Exchange, and all other services.

Copyright and Use of Materials
No part of this Website (aka Exchange) may be used, reproduced, or transmitted in any form or by any means electronic or mechanical, including photocopying, recording, or any information storage or retrieval system, without permission in writing from the ACRE Council LLC.

Exceptions: As a part of the online course and participation in the Exchange, there are available resources for ACRE® graduates, such as the use of the ACRE® logo pack to display the ACRE® logo on an ACRE® Graduate's business website, and resource products, such as the Seller Needs Analysis form. Any and all information contributed by ACRE™ Graduates is intended to be shared and used exclusively by the collective ACRE™ Graduate participants. The ACRE Council LLC assumes no responsibility for information contributed by ACRE™ Graduates disseminated to non-Graduate participants by users of the Exchange.

Using the Designation: In addition, when including the ACRE® designation in your signature line, please utilize the following example, paying special attention to spelling out the acronym and YOU MUST use the ® trademark as shown:

Accredited Consultant in Real Estate (ACRE®)
Spam and Blatant Advertising Verbiage:
It is our intent and purpose to make this a "Spam-Free" Exchange. In other words, a blatant attempt at advertising is a pure disregard of these Terms and will not be tolerated. It is at our sole discretion if a violation has occurred, and there will be no monetary rebate or refund for any violation of this policy.

Please note that it is permissible to have other designations, credentials, and ventures in your signature line, but we will not tolerate in any form an attempt to highlight these as a purpose for advertising.

Agree to Not Share Username and Password to Non- ACRE® Graduates It is strictly forbidden to give your username or password to enable non- ACRE® graduates to participate in the Exchange. If we find that this has occurred, the wrongful party will be given a single warning. If it occurs again, that ACRE® graduate will be banned from the Exchange and all future participation, and there will not be a monetary rebate or refund given.

Additionally, there will be no distribution of ACRE® materials, literature, and resources to non- ACRE® graduates, due to the proprietary and confidential nature of these aforementioned materials.

Legal Compliance:
As real estate laws and regulation vary State by State, it is the sole responsibility of the ACRE® graduate to verify that they are in compliance with these laws and regulations. Such example is use of the word "consultant;" where, for example, in the State of Pennsylvania, only a broker may use this term.

By becoming an ACRE® and participating in the Exchange, the ACRE® graduate agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ACRE Council LLC and all related parties from any and all losses, liabilities, penalties, damages, actions, suits, proceedings, settlements, and/or judgments arising out of or related to any alleged or actual infringement or other third-party claims arising from or related to the breach of these Terms of Service.
