Article 16.5: Identify Source of Data
MFRMLS Listings displayed by Participants on Participant Web Sites must clearly identify whether that Participant is or is not the specific Listing Participant.
- If Participant is not the Listing Participant, Participant must use the statement “Listing information courtesy of (Listing Office Name)” on both the thumbnail and full display, and such uses must be in at least the same text size as all other factual information provided for such MFRMLS Listing.
- If Participant is the Listing Participant, then the MFRMLS Listing may be identified at Participant’s sole discretion:
- Participant would use on the “thumbnail” and full display for each such MFRMLS Listing their Listing Office Name.
- A thumbnail display of another IDX Participant’s listing may not include any contact information or branding of the IDX Participant who owns the web site, any of its agents, or any third party. A thumbnail display may only include the following: text data about the listing property, and a photo of the listing property.
- A full display of another Participant’s listing may not include any contact information or branding of the Participant who owns the web site, any of it’s agents, or any third party within the “body” of the listing data. The “body” is defined as the rectangular space whose borders are delimited by the utmost extent in each direction of the listing test and photo data.
Under no circumstances shall a Participant state (directly or indirectly) or imply in any manner whatsoever that Participant is the Listing Participant for any MFRMLS Listing(s) other than those actually owned and submitted to the MFRMLS database by Participant.
