What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Remax's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, when franchisees access third-party resources through MAX/Center, they do so at their own risk. Remax indicates that it is not responsible or liable for the content, functions, accuracy, legality, appropriateness, or any other aspect of these third-party websites or resources. The inclusion of any link on MAX/Center does not imply endorsement or association between Remax and the operators of those external sites.
Remax emphasizes that it will not be held responsible or liable for any damage or loss, directly or indirectly, caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with a franchisee's use of third-party resources.
For Remax franchisees, this means they need to exercise caution and independent judgment when using links within MAX/Center that lead to external websites or services. Franchisees are responsible for understanding and complying with the terms of use, privacy policies, and other agreements set by these third-party providers. This is a common practice in franchising, where franchisors often provide access to third-party services but do not assume liability for their use.
