This Agreement is a binding contract between you ("User" or "you") and ShowingNow LLC ("Company" or "ShowingNow"). This Agreement governs your use of the ShowingNow application and related web-based and mobile services (collectively, "Application" or "ShowingNow Platform").
ATTENTION
ANY REAL ESTATE AGENT USING SHOWINGNOW WEB OR MOBILE APPLICATION IS EXPECTED TO ABIDE STRICTLY BY THE RULES OF THE FLORIDA REAL ESTATE COMMISSION (FREC). IN ADDITION, A SHOWING AGENT DOES NOT REPRESENT ANY PERSON WHEN PERFORMING A SHOWING THROUGH SHOWINGNOW, AND IS PROHIBITED FROM RECEIVING COMPENSATION FROM ANY SUCH PERSON. ACCORDINGLY, A SHOWING AGENT USING SHOWINGNOW IS PROHIBITED FROM ADVISING ANY BUYER OR SELLER IN ANY WAY THAT COULD BE CONSTRUED AS REPRESENTING THAT PERSON IN ANY CAPACITY AS A LICENSED AGENT.
Introduction & Agreement
This Agreement is a binding contract between you and ShowingNow LLC, a Florida limited liability company. This Agreement governs your use of the ShowingNow mobile application, website, web portal, and any related services (collectively, the Platform). By creating an account or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions and our Privacy Policy.
User Requirements
Eligible user types: Initiating Agent (a real estate agent or broker actively licensed in the U.S., using the Platform to request showing coverage for their clients); Property Manager (a person who oversees real estate, using the Platform to show properties to potential renters); Client (a person or company viewing real estate for themselves); Showing Agent (a licensed real estate agent who opens properties for Initiating Users in exchange for compensation); Brokerage (a licensed real estate brokerage using the Platform to manage their agents showing activity). By using the Platform you represent that you are 18 years of age or older and accept these terms as legally binding. You may be subject to identity and licensure verification through third-party services.
Independent Contractor Relationship
Showing Agents are independent contractors, not employees, agents, joint venturers, or partners of ShowingNow or any Initiating User. ShowingNow does not control the manner, means, or method by which Showing Agents perform their services. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employer-employee relationship. ShowingNow is a technology marketplace that facilitates connections between Initiating Users and Showing Agents. ShowingNow does not itself provide showing services and makes no representations regarding the quality, safety, or legality of services performed by Showing Agents.
Showing Agent Services
Initiating Users submit showing requests via the Platform. Requests are broadcast to eligible Showing Agents in the area until one accepts. Showing Agents must hold an active, valid real estate license; remain at the property for the full duration of the scheduled showing or open house; not represent, advise, or hold themselves out as an agent for any buyer or seller; and comply with all applicable FREC rules and real estate laws. Initiating Agents must inform their clients that the Showing Agent is not their representative; ensure they are legally permitted to request showing coverage; and provide accurate property information, access instructions, and scheduling details.
Cancellation & Refund Policy
No charge applies if an Initiating Agent cancels 4 or more hours before the scheduled start time. A full charge applies if cancelled less than 4 hours before the scheduled start time. If no Showing Agent accepts a request before the scheduled start time, the Initiating Agent will receive a full automatic refund. ShowingNow does not guarantee that a Showing Agent will be available for every request. If a Showing Agent fails to appear without cancelling in advance, the Initiating Agent will receive a full automatic refund. Repeated no-shows may result in suspension or removal from the Platform. If a Showing Agent cancels after accepting, no charge is applied to the Initiating Agent.
Payments
All payments are processed through Stripe, Inc. ShowingNow does not store full payment card information. When an Initiating Agent selects the ShowingNow suggested rate, the amount charged may differ from the amount paid out to the Showing Agent. ShowingNow may apply a dynamic spread between the charged rate and the Showing Agent payout based on real-time supply and demand conditions. This spread represents ShowingNow service fee and is not disclosed separately at the time of the transaction. When an Initiating Agent sets a custom rate, the Platform will display the exact amount the Showing Agent will receive prior to submission. No spread is applied to custom rate requests. Showing Agents receive an email notification of their payout the next day following a completed gig. Actual disbursement timing depends on the payout method selected and is subject to standard banking timelines including ACH processing windows which may take 1-3 business days. ShowingNow is not responsible for delays caused by the Showing Agent bank or payment provider. Tips are processed via Stripe and passed in full to the Showing Agent.
SMS & Electronic Communications
By registering and providing your phone number, you consent to receive transactional SMS messages related to your gig activity. Standard message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of marketing SMS at any time by replying STOP. You consent to receive electronic notices and legal communications from ShowingNow electronically.
