Terms of Service

Last updated: June 18, 2026.

By accessing or using shop1031.com (the “Platform”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

1. What Shop 1031 Is

Shop 1031 is a buyer-facing platform for commercial real estate buyers pursuing 1031 like-kind exchanges. The Platform provides underwriting analytics, property matching, and tools to evaluate and pursue replacement properties.

Shop 1031 is not a listing service, is not a marketplace, and does not offer real estate brokerage services directly to you through the Platform itself. Real estate brokerage services, when engaged, are provided by licensed brokers under separate written agreements.

2. No Broker-Client Relationship from Platform Use Alone

Your use of the Platform does not create a broker-client relationship. Browsing properties, viewing underwriting outputs, downloading workbooks, and similar Platform activities are informational and do not constitute representation by any licensed real estate broker.

A broker-client relationship is created only when you explicitly engage a licensed broker on the Platform via a written buyer-broker agreement (a “Buyer-Broker Representation Agreement”), signed electronically through the Platform’s engagement workflow. Until that moment, no licensed broker on or off the Platform represents you with respect to the deals or analyses surfaced on the Platform.

If you are unsure whether you have entered a broker-client relationship, consult licensed real estate counsel before acting on any Platform output.

3. Eligibility and Account Access

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to use the Platform. By creating an account, you represent that you are an actual or prospective 1031 exchange participant, a licensed real estate professional, or a service professional supporting a 1031 exchange.

Certain Platform features are gated to qualified buyers, users who have completed an identity and intent verification process. Access to property-specific details, Offering Memoranda, and deal-specific analytics may require qualified-buyer status. The Platform reserves discretion over qualification standards.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account.

4. The Professional Broker Network

The Platform may make available a Professional Broker Network, a curated tier of licensed real estate professionals who maintain their own brokerage licenses and operate under their own brokerage relationships. Professional Broker Network participation is by invitation or application and is governed by separate written agreements between the Platform and each participant.

Use of Platform tools, data, or buyer relationships obtained through Platform participation is restricted to the scope of those separate agreements. Circumvention of Platform-introduced buyer relationships to avoid Professional Broker Network obligations is prohibited and may result in termination of access and contractual remedies as specified in any signed Network agreement.

Professional Broker Network is not affiliated with any third-party brokerage technology platform or licensed-broker syndication service.

5. Confidentiality of Offering Memoranda and Deal Data

Offering Memoranda (“OMs”) made available through the Platform are typically furnished by listing brokers to buyer’s brokers and prospective buyers under explicit or implicit confidentiality obligations. By accessing OMs through the Platform, you agree to:

• Treat OMs and the information they contain as confidential to the deal and the parties to it
• Not redistribute OMs or their substantive content to third parties outside your immediate transactional team (your broker, your attorney, your CPA, your lender)
• Use OM information solely to evaluate the underlying property for your potential acquisition
• Comply with any specific confidentiality legend, NDA, or written confidentiality term accompanying any specific OM

The Platform itself does not assert ownership over OMs or their content. The Platform’s underwriting outputs are derived from facts contained in OMs and other public and licensed sources; those outputs are the Platform’s work product and are governed by Section 7.

6. Underwriting Outputs, Informational Only

The Platform produces structured underwriting outputs including dollar walks, three-case scenarios (Traditional, DSS Bear, DSS Stress), provenance-tagged analytics, downloadable workbooks, and similar deliverables (collectively, “Underwriting Outputs”).

Underwriting Outputs are provided for informational purposes only. They are not investment advice, tax advice, legal advice, securities recommendations, or fiduciary opinions. They do not substitute for the judgment of a licensed real estate broker, certified public accountant, attorney, or qualified intermediary advising you on your specific 1031 exchange.

The Platform implements multi-path verification on extracted data and exposes provenance on every figure. Despite that discipline, Underwriting Outputs may contain errors arising from extraction limitations, source-document errors, computation bugs, model assumptions, or market-data lag. You agree to independently verify Underwriting Outputs against source documents and your own counsel before relying on them for any actual decision.

You explicitly acknowledge that the Platform makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, or fitness-for-purpose of any Underwriting Output.

7. User Data, Telemetry, and Ownership

When you use the Platform, the following data is collected and processed:

• Profile data you provide: name, contact information, exchange status, equity range, geographic preferences, deal-type interests, and similar self-identified attributes
• Engagement telemetry: pages visited, properties viewed, magic-link interactions, time-on-page, search queries, saved properties, shortlist decisions, communications opened
• Transaction outcomes where you elect to share them: deals pursued, offers submitted, terms accepted, closings completed

The Platform may use this data in aggregated, anonymized form to improve the Platform, generate research, inform pricing models, and produce market analytics. The Platform does not sell individually-identifiable user data to third parties.

You retain ownership of your submitted content (properties you upload, notes you create, your own correspondence) but grant the Platform a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, process, display, and use such content for the purpose of operating the Platform and providing services to you.

The Platform retains ownership of its Underwriting Outputs, models, templates, workbook structures, and analytics methodologies. You receive a limited license to view, download, and use Underwriting Outputs for your own evaluation purposes; you may not redistribute, white-label, or resell Underwriting Outputs without separate written authorization.

8. Communications Consent

By creating an account or providing your contact information, you consent to receive communications from the Platform via email, including transactional messages (account confirmations, magic links), informational updates about properties matching your stated criteria, and the Platform’s periodic newsletter. You may unsubscribe from non-transactional emails at any time via the unsubscribe link in any message.

If you provide a phone number, you may also receive transactional SMS and voice communications related to your account and active deals. Marketing SMS or autodialed voice communications are sent only with your explicit prior consent, captured separately at the relevant feature.

The Platform complies with the CAN-SPAM Act and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). Report any compliance concerns to the Platform’s contact address below.

9. Acceptable Use

You may not use the Platform to:

• Violate any applicable law, including securities laws, fair housing laws, anti-money-laundering laws, or sanctions regulations
• Impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation
• Reverse-engineer, scrape, or systematically extract Platform content (other than for the personal use of your account)
• Transmit malware, viruses, or harmful code
• Disrupt the Platform’s operations, servers, or networks
• Use the Platform to send unsolicited commercial messages outside the Platform’s authorized communications features
• Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit Platform access without separate written authorization
• Misrepresent your status as a qualified buyer or as a licensed real estate professional

The Platform reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these restrictions.

10. Intellectual Property

The Platform, its software, design, workflows, methodologies, brand assets, and proprietary content are owned by Shop 1031 and protected by intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of Platform IP to you.

Limited licenses to specific Underwriting Outputs are granted per Section 7. All other rights are reserved.

If you believe any content on the Platform infringes your intellectual property rights, contact the Platform at the address below with sufficient information to evaluate your claim, including identification of the work, identification of the alleged infringement, your contact information, a good-faith-belief statement, and a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate.

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Platform and its operators, employees, and contractors from any claim, loss, damage, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from (a) your breach of these Terms, (b) your misuse of the Platform, (c) your violation of any third-party right or applicable law, or (d) any content you submit to the Platform.

12. Disclaimers

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS-IS" AND "AS-AVAILABLE" BASIS. THE PLATFORM AND ITS OPERATORS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

THE PLATFORM DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR HARMFUL COMPONENTS. THE PLATFORM DOES NOT WARRANT THAT UNDERWRITING OUTPUTS WILL BE ACCURATE OR THAT THE PLATFORM WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS.

You assume all risk arising from your use of the Platform, including any reliance on Underwriting Outputs in actual transactions.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE PLATFORM OR ITS OPERATORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PLATFORM'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING UNDER THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100) AND (B) THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID THE PLATFORM IN THE SIX MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory on which the claim is based and survive termination of these Terms.

14. Term and Termination

These Terms apply from the date you first access the Platform and continue until terminated. You may stop using the Platform at any time. You may delete your account by contacting the Platform.

The Platform may suspend or terminate your access at any time for any reason, with or without notice, including for breach of these Terms, suspected fraud, or for any operational reason in the Platform’s discretion.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including but not limited to Sections 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, and 16) will survive.

15. Governing Law and Arbitration

These Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.

Any dispute that is not resolved through informal good-faith negotiation will be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration administered by JAMS in Los Angeles County, California, before a single neutral arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator has no authority to award punitive damages.

Class action waiver. You and the Platform agree that disputes will be resolved on an individual basis and not as part of any class or representative action.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court for breach of confidentiality obligations or infringement of intellectual property rights.

16. Modifications

The Platform may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated to active users via email or via a Platform notification. Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Platform.

17. Miscellaneous

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with any separate written agreement you sign with the Platform or any Professional Broker Network member, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Platform regarding the subject matter.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.

No waiver. The Platform’s failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision or any other.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without the Platform’s written consent. The Platform may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or operational reorganization.

Force majeure. Neither party is liable for failure to perform due to causes beyond reasonable control, including acts of nature, pandemics, governmental actions, network outages, or labor disputes.

Notices. Notices to the Platform should be sent to: sloane@shop1031.com.
