These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern access to and

(collectively, the "Website").
The Website is operated by Baerz & Co B.V., a private
limited liability company incorporated under Dutch law and registered with the
Dutch Chamber of Commerce under number 70912610 ("Baerz", "Baerz
& Co", "we", "us" or "our").

2. The Baerz & Co Alliance and Nature of Our Services
2.1 An International Alliance of Boutique Luxury Brokers
Baerz & Co is an international alliance of carefully
selected, professionally qualified Boutique Luxury Brokers, united by a shared
commitment to exceptional personal service, local market expertise and
international collaboration.
The alliance brings together independent luxury real estate
professionals who combine their individual expertise, client relationships and
property portfolios with the collective reach, international visibility and
marketing capabilities of Baerz & Co.
Through this collaborative structure, participating Boutique
Luxury Brokers benefit from coordinated international marketing, shared
promotional initiatives, cross-border cooperation and access to a wider
international audience of prospective property buyers.
This approach combines the personal attention,
entrepreneurial independence and local expertise of boutique agencies with the
advantages of a professionally coordinated international real estate network.
Baerz & Co is not a conventional real estate franchise.
Its affiliated agencies retain their own identity, legal independence and
professional responsibility while participating in a common international
marketing and collaboration framework.
2.2 Carefully Selected Professional Members
Membership of the Baerz & Co alliance is subject to a
selective admission process, with particular emphasis on professional
qualifications, relevant certifications, proven experience, local market
expertise and a demonstrated commitment to high standards of personal service.
Participating Baerz Members, Affiliate Partners and
Collaboration Partners are selected from qualified and professionally certified
real estate practitioners, with due regard to the professional requirements and
certification systems applicable in their respective jurisdictions.
Their participation reflects a shared commitment to
professional excellence, integrity, discretion and the personalised service
expected within the international luxury real estate market.
Membership or affiliation does not, however, constitute a
guarantee by Baerz of an individual professional's conduct, performance or
compliance with every applicable legal requirement.
2.3 A Buyer-Centred Philosophy
At the heart of the Baerz philosophy is the understanding
that finding the right property begins with understanding the person behind the
purchase.
The Baerz alliance is designed not only to showcase
exceptional properties, but also to connect prospective buyers with experienced
local professionals who understand their individual needs, preferences and
aspirations.
Through Baerz Property Finders & Advisors, buyers may be
introduced to independent Personal Property Advisors who provide personalised
property search and acquisition assistance.
These advisors may identify suitable opportunities both
within and beyond the property portfolios featured on Baerz.com, drawing upon
their local market knowledge and professional relationships.
All professional property advisory and acquisition services
are performed by these independent advisors under their own responsibility.
2.4 International Marketing and Collaboration
Baerz & Co supports its affiliated professionals through
an integrated international marketing and publishing environment, including
Baerz.com, coordinated digital marketing, editorial publications, international
property promotion and selected external distribution channels.
The Website showcases residential properties represented by
independent Boutique Luxury Brokers, authorised property professionals and
residential project developers.
By combining international marketing with professional
collaboration, Baerz enables participating agencies to extend their
international reach while preserving the personal service and direct client
relationships that distinguish boutique real estate.
2.5 Independent Professional Responsibility
Baerz & Co provides the international marketing,
publishing, communication and collaboration framework through which its
affiliated professionals cooperate.
Baerz & Co does not itself act as a real estate
broker, selling agent or buying agent and does not provide real estate
brokerage services.
All properties displayed on the Website are offered by
independent Listing Partners or property developers, who remain responsible for
the properties they represent, the information they provide and their
professional sales activities.
Likewise, independent Personal Property Advisors remain
responsible for the professional services they provide to prospective buyers.
Baerz does not itself conduct property negotiations on
behalf of buyers or sellers, accept brokerage mandates or conclude property
purchase or sale agreements.
Baerz is not a party to property transactions or to
professional brokerage and advisory agreements concluded between users and
independent professionals.
Affiliation with Baerz, including the use of Baerz branding,
professional profiles or communication facilities, does not by itself establish
an employment, franchise, agency or legal representation relationship.
No affiliated professional is authorised to enter into
legally binding commitments on behalf of Baerz without express written
authorisation.
Nothing in this section excludes any responsibility or
liability that Baerz may have for its own conduct under applicable law.
3. Property Listings and Accuracy of Information
Property information published on the Website is supplied
primarily by independent Boutique Luxury Brokers, Listing Partners and property
developers.
The party providing the information is responsible for its
accuracy, completeness, legality and the right to publish it.
Although Baerz may apply editorial and technical quality
controls, it does not independently inspect properties, verify ownership,
conduct legal due diligence or certify the accuracy of supplied property
information.
Property descriptions, prices, measurements, floor plans,
photographs, specifications and availability are provided for general
information and marketing purposes.
In particular:
Baerz may correct, amend, suspend or remove property
listings where reasonably justified.
To the extent permitted by law, Baerz does not accept
liability for inaccuracies, omissions or outdated information supplied by
independent third parties, except where Baerz's own legally attributable
conduct gives rise to liability.
4. New Developments and Off-Plan Properties
The Website may feature newly constructed properties,
developments under construction and off-plan residential projects.
Project descriptions, architectural impressions,
specifications, construction schedules, completion dates and availability may
be subject to change.
Baerz does not independently guarantee the completion,
delivery, financial viability, legal compliance or investment performance of
any development.
All contractual obligations relating to a development remain
with the responsible developer or other contracting party.
Prospective purchasers should independently verify all
relevant legal, technical and financial information before entering into a
binding agreement.
5. Independent Property Professionals
Boutique Luxury Brokers, Listing Partners, developers and
Personal Property Advisors featured on or affiliated with the Website operate
independently, under their own professional and contractual responsibility.
Unless expressly authorised in writing, they have no
authority to enter into agreements, make legally binding commitments or assume
obligations on behalf of Baerz.
The use of Baerz branding, professional profiles, communication
systems or email addresses does not, by itself, establish an employment,
agency, brokerage or legal representation relationship with Baerz.
Any professional advisory, brokerage or transaction
agreement is concluded directly with the relevant independent professional or
their legal business entity.
Baerz does not assume responsibility for the acts,
omissions, advice, negotiations or contractual performance of independent
professionals merely because they are affiliated with or introduced through the
Website.
Nothing in this section excludes liability arising from
Baerz's own conduct or mandatory legal obligations.
6. Enquiries and Property Transactions
Users may submit property enquiries or request assistance in
finding suitable real estate.
Submitting an enquiry does not constitute a property
reservation, purchase agreement, brokerage mandate or other binding transaction
commitment.
Baerz does not guarantee the availability of any property,
the acceptance of an enquiry or the successful completion of a transaction.
Baerz may facilitate contact with an appropriate independent
professional in connection with the user's request.
Property owners who contact Baerz regarding the marketing or
sale of a property may be introduced to an independent real estate
professional. Baerz does not itself accept or perform the selling agent's
mandate.
Users remain free to decide whether to engage any
professional introduced through the Website.
7. Independent Verification and Professional Advice
Real estate transactions, particularly those involving
properties abroad, may involve significant legal, financial and technical
risks.

descriptions, buyer guides, editorial articles and market information, is
provided for general informational purposes.
It does not constitute personalised legal, financial, tax,
investment, valuation or technical advice.
Users should obtain appropriate independent professional
advice and verify all material property information before entering into any
binding transaction.
Baerz does not guarantee the suitability of a property for
any particular purpose or the outcome of any property purchase or investment.
8. Personal Data and Privacy
Baerz respects the privacy and confidentiality of Website
users.
Personal information submitted through enquiries or
correspondence is used to respond to communications, manage enquiries and
facilitate the services requested by the user.
Baerz does not sell personal information or disclose it
to unrelated third parties for their independent marketing purposes.
Where necessary for handling a user's enquiry, personal
information may be made available to authorised Baerz personnel, an appropriate
independent Personal Property Advisor or another relevant professional, subject
to applicable privacy legislation and a valid legal basis.
Baerz does not routinely disclose prospective buyers' full
contact details to selling agents or developers merely because they have
submitted an initial enquiry.
Contracted technical service providers may process
information on Baerz's behalf under appropriate confidentiality and data
protection safeguards.
Personal information may also be processed or disclosed
where required or otherwise permitted by applicable law.
The processing of personal information is governed by the
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and our separate Privacy Policy,
which explains the applicable purposes, legal bases, recipients, retention
periods and individual rights.
