What it is

Any feedback, suggestions, or ideas you submit to Redfin become Redfin's permanent property — Redfin owns them completely and can use them however it wants, forever, for free. You also give up any moral rights or credit for those ideas.

This analysis describes what Redfin's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
