These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of www.idahostartshere.com (the “Site”), operated by Jen Lenz through Idaho Starts Here with CENTURY 21 RiverStone.
If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Site.
These Terms are a practical website-use policy, not legal advice. Important brokerage, agency, and consumer-protection requirements may also apply outside this page.
1. Acceptance
By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms of Use and to applicable law. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
2. Site Purpose
The Site provides general real estate information and tools, including:
- Property search and listing detail pages
- Community and lifestyle information
- Educational buyers, sellers, and relocation guides
- Mortgage payment estimates and planning worksheets
- Market and blog content
- Contact and consultation request methods
3. No Agency or Contract Created
Browsing the Site, using a calculator, saving a checklist in your browser, or sending a general inquiry does not by itself create:
- A buyer representation agreement
- A listing agreement
- An agency or fiduciary relationship
- A contract for brokerage services
Any brokerage or agency relationship must be established separately through applicable written agreements and disclosures required by Idaho law and brokerage policy.
4. Not Professional Advice
Site content is general educational information. It is not legal, tax, lending, insurance, appraisal, inspection, engineering, survey, environmental, school-placement, medical, or emergency advice.
Verify material facts with qualified professionals and official agencies before making decisions.
5. Property Information
Listing information may change without notice. Properties may be sold, pending, withdrawn, or unavailable. Prices, measurements, school assignments, acreage, waterfront rights, taxes, insurance, and public-record details may be approximate, delayed, or incomplete.
MLS attribution, disclaimer, and copyright requirements remain in effect wherever required on listing pages and related displays. Those notices are not replaced by this Terms page.
6. Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity
Idaho Starts Here supports equal housing opportunity and compliance with applicable fair-housing laws. Site content and tools must not be used to steer visitors based on protected characteristics.
Equal Housing Opportunity applies to real estate advertising and services.
7. Calculators and Planning Tools
The Site includes tools such as the mortgage calculator, offer comparison worksheet, relocation budget planner, fit worksheet, community comparison workspace, checklists, and timelines.
Results depend on user inputs and simplifying assumptions. These tools do not constitute loan approval, credit advice, financial advice, valuation, appraisal, closing statement, insurance quote, tax calculation, or community ranking.
Unless explicitly disclosed elsewhere, user-entered planning figures from these tools are stored locally in your browser and are not transmitted to the Site server through those tools.
8. Community, School, and Service Information
Community descriptions, drive-time references, school information, healthcare references, broadband notes, utility territories, and emergency guidance are general in nature. Boundaries, availability, services, and conditions can change and may differ by exact address.
9. Intellectual Property
Original website design, written guide content, branding, custom graphics, site software, and photography owned by the operator are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
Third-party content — including MLS listing data, listing photographs, government information, external resources, and third-party trademarks — remains the property of its respective owners.
You may use the Site for personal, noncommercial research. You may not republish, scrape, commercially copy, remove notices from, impersonate, or reuse site branding without permission.

11. External Links
Links to external websites are provided for convenience and research. A link does not necessarily indicate endorsement. External sites control their own content, availability, security, accessibility, privacy practices, and terms.
12. Availability
The Site may be maintained, updated, corrected, suspended, or changed without notice. Uninterrupted availability is not guaranteed.
13. Disclaimers
The Site and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis to the extent permitted by applicable law. Reasonable efforts are made to keep information current, but accuracy and completeness are not guaranteed.
These Terms do not attempt to disclaim intentional wrongdoing or rights that cannot legally be waived.
14. Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the operator, brokerage, and site providers are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of the Site. Total liability for direct damages arising from use of the Site is limited to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Attorney review recommended: Limitation language should be reviewed for enforceability under Idaho law and brokerage requirements.
15. Governing Law
These Terms are intended to be governed by the laws of the State of Idaho, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
Attorney review recommended: Confirm governing law, venue, and dispute process with qualified counsel before relying on this section.
