DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

First Agent offers specialized services for filtering, sorting and organizing real estate data, as well as virtual assistant services. These services are designed to help customers manage and structure the real estate data to which they already have access. First Agent’s virtual assistant acts as an advanced tool to collect, organize and present this data according to the customer’s specific requirements. First Agent does not generate or verify the validity of the data, but simply processes, filters and organizes the information provided by the customer or to which they already have access. These services enable customers to optimize their work with large volumes of real estate information, presenting it in a more accessible and actionable way for their business operations.

VIRTUAL ASSISTANT SERVICES

First Agent’s virtual assistant is designed to automate the collection and sorting of data according to the customer’s pre-defined parameters. This service improves the efficiency of data filtering and organization processes, eliminating the need for manual intervention in repetitive tasks. The virtual assistant allows customers to customize results according to their specific needs, such as market segmentation, identification of key properties or generation of customized reports. First Agent guarantees that the virtual assistant will operate within the parameters set by the customer, but assumes no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the data processed if it contains source errors.

LIMITATIONS OF THE SERVICES

First Agent does not guarantee the quality, precision or accuracy of the original data provided by the customer or collected through the virtual assistant. Our service is limited to filtering, organizing and sorting the data according to the criteria provided by the customer, without altering its content or verifying its validity. The customer is responsible for ensuring the integrity of the data prior to processing, and First Agent cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies that may arise from the quality of the original data or the results obtained from automated processing through the virtual assistant.

USE OF DATA PROVIDED

First Agent will process the data provided or accessed through the virtual assistant only for the purposes requested by the customer. The data will not be used for any other purpose without the express consent of the customer. The information collected by the virtual assistant will be treated with complete confidentiality and will only be available to authorized employees or subcontractors who need access to the data for the provision of the services.

PAYMENT FOR THE SERVICES

The Customer agrees to pay for the services provided by First Agent, which include both the filtering and sorting of data and the use of the virtual assistant, according to the agreed fees. Payments can be made by credit card, bank transfer or other pre-agreed electronic methods. Invoices issued must be paid within the stipulated period. First Agent reserves the right to suspend services if payments are not received on time. The customer is responsible for providing valid and up-to-date payment information.

REFUNDS

Since the services provided are highly customized, including the use of the virtual assistant for automated data processing, no refunds are issued once the services have been delivered or are in progress. If errors attributable to First Agent occur, we undertake to review the situation and, if necessary, correct the errors at no additional cost to the customer, provided that the request for review is made within a reasonable time.

CONFIDENTIALITY

First Agent guarantees that all information provided by the customer will be treated with the utmost confidentiality and will only be used for the purposes agreed within the framework of the service contracted. We implement technical and organizational security measures to protect data against unauthorized access, loss or alteration. Only authorized personnel will have access to the data and they will be held to a high standard of confidentiality protection. In the event that First Agent must share data with third parties in order to fulfil the service, the customer will be duly informed and his explicit consent will be sought. However, First Agent may be obliged to disclose the information in case of legal or regulatory requirements.

MODIFICATIONS TO THE SERVICES

First Agent reserves the right to modify or update the terms of the services at any time, including pricing, virtual assistant functionality and delivery times. Any changes will be notified to the customer in advance. If the customer does not agree with the proposed changes, he/she may choose to cancel the service before the new terms come into effect. Continued use of the services shall be deemed acceptance of the changes.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

First Agent limits its liability exclusively to the provision of the services of filtering, sorting and organizing real estate data as well as the virtual assistant services offered. First Agent assumes no responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or suitability of the data provided by the customers or collected through the virtual assistant. The customer acknowledges and agrees that First Agent does not verify or audit the original data and therefore any errors, inaccuracies or incompleteness in the data processed is the sole responsibility of the customer. The customer is responsible for ensuring that the data provided for processing is accurate and complete prior to delivery.

First Agent shall not be liable for any damages, direct or indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive, arising out of the use of the services provided, including but not limited to, loss of revenue, business interruption, loss of data or any other financial loss resulting from the use or inability to use the processed data. This includes any malfunctions of the virtual assistant, failures in data sorting or errors in the results delivered, as well as technical problems or service interruptions that may occur during the provision of the service.

The Customer assumes all risk arising from the use of First Agent’s services, including any business decisions made based on the data processed. First Agent does not guarantee that the results provided by the virtual assistant or data filtering services will meet the customer’s expectations or be useful for the customer’s specific purposes. The processed data is provided on an ‘as is’ basis, and First Agent makes no warranties, express or implied, as to accuracy, reliability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

In the event First Agent incurs any error in the performance of the services, its maximum liability shall be limited to correcting such error at no additional cost to the customer, provided that the customer notifies First Agent in a timely manner. First Agent shall not be liable for any additional damages or financial compensation beyond the correction of the error, and no refunds will be made under any circumstances, as the services provided are customized and non-reversible.

The customer agrees that First Agent shall not be liable in the event of any delay in the delivery of processed data due to factors beyond its control, including but not limited to technical failures, network problems, or delay in receipt of data by the customer. First Agent will make every effort to minimize any interruption in service, but cannot guarantee accurate delivery times in unforeseen circumstances.

Furthermore, First Agent shall not be liable for any misuse or misrepresentation of the data processed by the customer or any third party. Once the data is delivered to the customer, the customer assumes full responsibility for its handling, interpretation and use, and exempts First Agent from any claims related to decisions or actions based on the processed data.
