Summary

This is Redfin's Terms of Use, last updated September 29, 2025, governing access to Redfin's real estate platform including property search, brokerage services, and mobile apps for users in the United States and Canada. The agreement requires that most disputes between users and Redfin be resolved through binding individual arbitration rather than in court, and includes a class action waiver, with a 30-day opt-out window referenced in Section 2.13.9. The terms also assign full ownership of any feedback users submit directly to Redfin, and grant Redfin a perpetual, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, distribute, and publicly display other user-submitted content.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document governs user access to and use of Redfin Corporation's websites, mobile applications, and associated real estate services, establishing a contractual agreement that incorporates these Terms of Use alongside service-specific addenda and a Privacy Notice. The agreement states that users grant Redfin a worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and publicly display user-submitted content, and separately assigns to Redfin all right, title, and interest in any feedback submitted; the terms also authorize Redfin to communicate with users via contact information on file and permit content sharing with affiliates, service providers, and subcontractors. The mandatory arbitration clause and class action waiver are prominently disclosed in all-caps at the document's outset, applying where permitted by applicable law, with an opt-out mechanism referenced in Section 2.13.9; the feedback assignment provision grants Redfin perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide rights including sublicensing, which is operationally broader than a standard license grant and may warrant review under applicable consumer protection frameworks. The document engages the FTC Act regarding unfair or deceptive practices, CCPA and similar state privacy statutes given explicit California resident disclosures referenced in the Privacy Notice, and COPPA given the explicit prohibition on use by children under 13; the arbitration clause may also interact with state consumer protection statutes that limit predispute arbitration agreements, with enforceability depending on jurisdiction.
