Terms of Service
The short version
Be kind, use our calculators and guides for planning, and don’t republish our articles as your own. Everything on this site is general information about Florida real estate and home life — not personalized advice for your specific situation. Diane Goldenberg is a licensed Florida real estate agent with Beachfront Realty in Miami Beach, and this site honors the Fair Housing Act. The full terms below control. Last updated September 29, 2026.
Effective date: June 26, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of My Real Estate Tips (the “Site”), operated by Buffalo Coast Media. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
About the Site
The Site provides general real estate information, educational content, tools (such as calculators), and a service that can connect you with third-party real estate agents and professionals. The Site does not itself provide real estate brokerage services for transactions outside the areas where our affiliated agent is licensed.
Not professional advice
Content on the Site is for general informational and educational purposes only and is not legal, financial, tax, investment, or individualized real estate advice. Real estate laws and conditions vary by location. Always consult a qualified, licensed professional before making decisions. Your use of the Site does not create an agent-client, fiduciary, or brokerage relationship.
Agent referrals
When you ask to be connected with an agent, we may refer your information to a third-party licensed real estate professional. We may receive a referral fee if a transaction results. We do not guarantee the services, performance, or conduct of any third-party agent, and you engage any such agent at your own discretion.
Intellectual property
All content on the Site, including text, graphics, logos, and design, is owned by or licensed to us and is protected by intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our written permission.
Acceptable use
You agree not to misuse the Site, including by attempting to disrupt it, access it unlawfully, scrape data, or submit false information.
Third-party links and content
The Site may link to or display third-party content and websites. We are not responsible for third-party content, products, or services.
Disclaimer of warranties
The Site is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Buffalo Coast Media, its affiliates, and the vendors and service providers that support the Site (referred to together as “we” and “us” in this section and in the sections on Settling disputes and Your consent to data collection) are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, or goodwill, that result from using the Site or being unable to use it. This is true under any legal theory. The most we can be liable for, across all claims related to the Site, is the greater of (a) the total you paid us for the Site during the six months before the claim arose, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Buffalo Coast Media from any claims arising out of your use of the Site or violation of these Terms.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Disputes are settled as described under Settling disputes below. A dispute that is not covered by arbitration will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
Settling disputes
Most concerns can be cleared up with a quick message. For the ones that can’t, this section explains the process. It requires individual arbitration and rules out class actions, so please read it.
Step one: write to us. Send a letter describing your claim to Buffalo Coast Media, 407 Lincoln Rd, Suite 6H PMB 1076, Miami Beach, FL 33139. Include your name, your contact details, what happened and on what dates, the legal grounds, and the resolution you want. You and we will try in good faith to reach one. If thirty (30) days pass without a resolution, either of us may move to arbitration.
Step two: individual arbitration. You and we agree that disputes and claims arising from the Site, these Terms, or your relationship with us are decided through binding arbitration, brought by one person at a time, and not through a court case. Small claims court remains open to either of us for a claim that qualifies and stays individual. Either of us may also ask a court to halt infringement or misuse of intellectual property. Claims must be filed within one (1) year of the dispute arising, after which they are barred. Disputes that arose before this section was added are covered too.
The provider and its rules. Arbitrations are administered by JAMS under the rules it has in effect when a claim is filed. For claims and counterclaims of less than $250,000, excluding attorneys’ fees and interest, those are the Streamlined Arbitration Rules. For all others they are the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules. Both can be read at jamsadr.com, and JAMS can be called at 800-352-5267. Should JAMS be unavailable, you and we will agree on a substitute. You decide whether the arbitration is held remotely, by written submission, or in person at an agreed place. The award can be entered as a judgment in any court that has jurisdiction. The Federal Arbitration Act controls how this section is interpreted and enforced.
Who pays. Where the arbitrator finds that you cannot pay the JAMS filing, administrative, or hearing fees and JAMS will not waive them, we pay them. Where the arbitrator finds a claim frivolous, you agree to cover our reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, within the limits of the law.
The arbitrator’s role. Whether this section applies, what it means, and whether it is enforceable are questions for the arbitrator and not for a court. The arbitrator can grant whatever relief a court could grant an individual, must set out the reasons for the decision in writing, and the decision is final and binding.
No jury trials or class actions. You and we give up the right to a jury trial and to have disputes heard in court, apart from the exceptions above. Every claim must be brought individually. Class, collective, representative, and private attorney general actions are excluded, and one person’s claim cannot be combined with another’s except as the next paragraph allows. If a court decides this paragraph cannot be enforced for a certain claim, only that claim moves to court.
Large numbers of similar claims. If fifty (50) or more similar arbitration demands are brought against us within about thirty (30) days, you and we agree they will be administered by JAMS as one consolidated arbitration with a single arbitrator, a single fee, and a single timetable. If the arbitrator considers that impractical or unfair, the demands may be sorted into groups of twenty (20) or more, and each group will be decided as one arbitration. Demands are similar when they come from the same events, agreement, or facts and involve like legal issues and relief. When the count of similar demands reaches the threshold in the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines, those Procedures and the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures Fee Schedule, in their current versions, apply together with this paragraph. If the demands are administered by the American Arbitration Association, the AAA Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules and the AAA mass arbitration fee schedule apply in the same manner. This paragraph does not create any right to class or collective arbitration.
If part of this section fails. A part of this section that is found invalid is removed, and the remaining parts continue to apply. This section stays in force after you stop using the Site. If we materially change it later, the change does not reach a claim you had already notified us of in writing.
Opting out. You have thirty (30) days from the date you first become subject to this section, or from any material change to it, to opt out. Email hello@buffalocoastmedia.com with “Arbitration Opt-Out” in the subject line, and give your name, the email address you use with the Site if any, and a clear statement that you opt out. After an opt-out, neither you nor we are bound by the arbitration, jury, and class action terms above. The remaining Terms are unaffected.
