Nature of YouRentWeSplit.com’s Services. YouRentWeSplit.com operates a platform for Lessors desiring to advertise residential rental properties with available units, and the advertisements on the Website are based on information provided by the Lessors. Accordingly, YouRentWeSplit.com is not responsible in any way for the content in any such advertisements, nor is YouRentWeSplit.com responsible for any actual lease transaction between a potential Renter and a Lessor. Users should visit our Security Center for renting tips. YouRentWeSplit.com is licensed as a real estate broker in the State of Texas; however, YouRentWeSplit.com does not render legal, brokerage, or other professional advice or services to either its Renter or Lessor customers.
Services Not Provided. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree as follows:
1. YouRentWeSplit.com does not participate in any actual lease transactions, including, without limitation, negotiations, discussions, or proposals, and you expressly waive any requirement that purports to impose on YouRentWeSplit.com an obligation to perform any services other than those expressly undertaken by YouRentWeSplit.com;
2. While YouRentWeSplit.com has a broker license in Texas, YouRentWeSplit.com does not render legal, brokerage, or other professional advice or services; in the event you desire or need such services, YouRentWeSplit.com strongly advises you to secure the same;
