The Company is a technology company that does not provide real estate services and is not a real estate services provider. These real estate services are provided by other third party service providers and the final decision belongs to You in whether to accept their offer of real estate services. The service of the Company is to link You with such third party real estate services providers but it does not and is not intended to provide real estate services or any action that can be construed in any way as an act of a real estate services provider. The Company is not responsible or liable for the acts and/or omissions of any third party real estate services provider and/or any real estate services provided to You.

HOW STOREYS WORKS

The Company is a technology company that supports real estate service brokers in comparing the prices of various general real estate service and banking products in Singapore offered to their customers in Singapore. The Company works with third party real estate service companies, real estate service brokers, real estate service agents, real estate institutions and/or other real estate services product intermediaries in Singapore who provide us with their product specifications, prices and any other relevant data to support the efforts of real estate service brokers (each a “Real estate Services Provider”, and collectively, the “Real estate Service Providers”).

When You use our Application or Software to study and understand the different real estate service and banking products made available, You may be invited to provide certain Personal Data (as defined in our Privacy Notice) and other relevant data. When You submit these Personal Data and other relevant data, Your Personal Data shall be disclosed and forwarded to a Real estate Service Provider who will contact You and seek Your permission to assist You in the understanding and application of such real estate service and banking products. We are not involved in any discussions and negotiations between You and the Real estate Services Provider or in the placement or purchase of any real estate service product or service.

The Company renders services through the use of its Application and Software at no charge to the user. The Company’s main source of revenue is from fees received from Real estate Service Providers when they have successfully assisted You in obtaining a real estate service or banking product from the Real estate Service Provider.

The Company shall not be responsible to You in any way if You furnish us with information that is not true, not complete and/or not accurate.

When You decide to purchase a product or service from a Real estate Services Provider, You are entering into an agreement with the Real estate Services Provider, and not with the Company. Subsequently, the Company does not bear any responsibility or liability for the purchase, the suitability or quality of the product or services or the agreement that You enter into with the Real estate Services Provider.
