Under what circumstances is a Remax member prohibited from downloading files posted by other members?

According to Remax's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a member is prohibited from downloading files posted by another member on MAX/Center if the member knows, or reasonably should know, that the file cannot be legally distributed in that manner. This restriction is part of the User Agreement that governs the use of MAX/Center.

This provision aims to ensure that Remax members do not engage in any activity that could lead to legal repercussions for themselves, other members, or the Remax organization. It places a responsibility on each member to be aware of the legal implications of distributing certain types of files and to refrain from downloading those that are known or reasonably should be known to be illegally distributed.

For a prospective Remax franchisee, this means they need to exercise caution and due diligence when using MAX/Center. They should avoid downloading files from other members if there is any doubt about the legality of distributing those files. This could include copyrighted material, confidential information, or any other content that violates applicable laws or regulations. Failure to comply with this provision could result in suspension or termination of access to MAX/Center and potential legal liabilities.

Remax also reserves the right to delete any file that, in its judgment, is inconsistent with the terms of the User Agreement. This further underscores the importance of adhering to the prohibited uses outlined in the agreement to maintain a compliant and secure environment for all members.
