Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Use constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Capstone PropTech LLC, doing business as MLS Pipeline ("MLS Pipeline," "we," "us," or "our") concerning your access to and use of the MLS Pipeline service, a Canva integration for MLS organizations.

By accessing or using our service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy (collectively, the "User Terms"). If you disagree with any part of these terms, you may not access the service.

Service Description

MLS Pipeline provides a Canva app integration that allows authorized members of participating MLS organizations to access MLS data (listings, member profiles, and office information) directly within Canva's design platform.

Eligibility and Authorization

To use MLS Pipeline, you must:

  • Be an authorized member of a participating MLS organization
  • Have an active Canva account (Free, Pro, Team, or Enterprise)
  • Be at least 18 years of age
  • Have the legal authority to enter into these Terms

You are responsible for:

  • Maintaining the confidentiality of your authentication codes and credentials
  • All activities that occur through your linked accounts
  • Notifying your MLS organization immediately of any unauthorized access
  • Using the service only from your own verified Canva account

Do not share your authentication codes with anyone. Authentication codes expire after 10 minutes for security purposes. If you believe your access has been compromised, contact your MLS organization immediately.

License and Access

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use MLS Pipeline for your professional real estate activities. This license is provided through your MLS organization's subscription and may be terminated if:

  • Your MLS membership ends or is suspended
  • Your MLS organization terminates its subscription
  • You violate these Terms or applicable MLS policies
  • Your Canva account is closed or suspended

Data Accuracy and Formatting

MLS Pipeline retrieves data in real-time from your MLS organization's database and formats it for display within Canva. We do not create, calculate, verify, or validate MLS data.

Data formatting includes standard transformations for readability such as:

  • Adding currency symbols and thousand separators (e.g., $500,000)
  • Formatting dates and phone numbers
  • Adding unit labels (e.g., sq ft, acres)
  • Standardizing capitalization

We do not alter factual values or perform calculations. If data appears incorrect, the source data from your MLS may be incorrect or incomplete.

YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR:

  • Verifying all information before use in marketing materials
  • Ensuring data accuracy and currency
  • Confirming compliance with all applicable laws and regulations
  • Reviewing and updating any designs before distribution

Do not rely on MLS Pipeline data without independent verification.

User-Created Content and Data Storage

Designs you create using MLS Pipeline are created within and stored on the Canva platform. MLS Pipeline does not store, control, or have access to your completed designs.

If your access to MLS Pipeline ends for any reason:

  • Your designs remain in your Canva account
  • You retain access to your Canva account and designs
  • You will no longer be able to use MLS Pipeline features within those designs
  • MLS data fields in your designs will no longer update automatically

We cannot retrieve, export, or restore designs on your behalf. Regularly export or download important designs from your Canva account.

  • Avoiding discriminatory language, images, or statements
  • Following all advertising regulations in your jurisdiction

You are solely responsible for ensuring your use of MLS data complies with all applicable requirements. MLS Pipeline does not grant you any ownership rights to MLS data.

Templates and Design Resources

MLS Pipeline may provide optional design templates, layouts, or examples as a convenience to users. These templates:

  • Have NOT been reviewed by legal counsel
  • Have NOT been verified for compliance with fair housing laws or advertising regulations
  • Are provided "AS-IS" for layout purposes only
