Access to MLS Service:

1parkplace has established a relationship with your MLS organization to provide Internet Data Exchange – “IDX” – tools to member agents. The data feed that 1parkplace receives as a third party IDX provider, is contingent upon compliance with Broker Reciprocity standards. In order to ensure that 1parkplace continues to have access to IDX data, you agree to comply with any, and all, Broker Reciprocity standards for your respective MLS organization. These standards vary across boards; however, usually contain provisions, including, but not limited to, the following:

  • Agent is a member and remains a member, in good standing, of the MLS board through the life of their agreement.
  • Agent will not make any modifications to any listings, received from the IDX feed, which are not their own.
  • Agent and broker-of-said agent, will provide a signed copy of the IDX agreement for their respective MLS. If agent moves to another company, they will need to provide a new IDX agreement (if applicable) with the new broker signature.
  • Agent is responsible for checking with their MLS organization to ensure that their website is compliant with their standards for receiving the IDX data feed.

As a third party IDX vendor, 1parkplace receives all their IDX information from your MLS board. 1parkplace assumes no responsibility for missing listing information, including photos and property details, as our services are reliant upon the information provided to us by the MLS board. 1parkplace is not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, functionality, usability, availability or merchantability of the MLS data services. The use of MLS data services is strictly at your own risk.

Website Vandalism

Please understand that 1parkplace only considers a “hacked” account to be the unauthorized access of an account, resulting from the criminal act of distributing and propagating a key logger, Trojan, or other computer virus. We do not recognize a “hacked” account to be theft, resulting from any sort of account sharing. The integrity, security and interactions on an account, are the sole responsibility of the account owner, and not 1parkplace. Any settings lost in this incident will not be restored. Owners are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their passwords and security of their accounts, at all times.

The act of writing and distributing malicious code is a criminal act, one that the police will often investigate. A victim will need to contact his or her local authorities in order to report this activity. Because the actual crime was committed on the user’s system, and not a system owned by 1parkplace, we cannot file the report on behalf of the user.

During the investigation, police will likely need to contact us with a subpoena request to identify and track down the perpetrators. This can only be done by writing or faxing 1parkplace at the contact below:

1parkplace, Inc.
Account Administration Department
10875 Rancho Bernardo Road, Suite 100
San Diego, CA 92150 – 1682

Fax Number: 858-673-6014

Once this information has been received by 1parkplace, we will proceed to review the account history and do our best to pursue the individuals responsible.
