Terms of Use

The policies outlined below govern the manner in which Home Show Tours Inc. does business. The policies apply to the Site and all products and services offered by Home Show Tours Inc.

All packages are for the duration of the indicated time frames and are to be paid in full either prior or at the time services are rendered. There are no refunds, prorated refunds, or early termination discounts. The client agrees not to continue the advertisement in order to draw further potential sales leads of other homes not advertised on our site.

If the advertisement has been completed, and you have decided not to continue the advertisement – there will not be a refund. If you had the work completed, but were not able to pay at the time of the photo shoot, and decide not to continue – you will be billed for the complete ad and any other fees not collected. If you sell your property before the expiration date of your advertisement – “Awesome”! If you purchase the 6 month package and sell within 30 days – you cannot downgrade the package. In other words: There are no prorated refunds at all – no exceptions.

Our business is not responsible for your information:

The company known as Home Show Tours Inc., qchomeshow.com or quadcityhomeshow.com, (referred to in this document as “we”, “us”, “our site”, “company” or likewise) any of it’s personnel, and or subsidiaries, etc will not be liable for incorrectly posted information, errors, omissions, uploaded intellectual property, misunderstanding of such information, and/or any conflicting information. Furthermore, we will not be held liable for any information that may have/or will cause any conflict between the buyers, sellers, or any third parties. Please be careful and consider what you are loading to the site as you will be held accountable and responsible for that information.

It is the homeowner’s responsibility to have the property safe, ready to be photographed, to have all information checked for accuracy, and have all potential conflicts resolved. All inaccurate information is to be presented to us by the homeowner and is to be changed as soon as possible. Scheduling a photo shoot and not showing up at the time scheduled will be billed as a “no show” and require a travel fee to offset our time, gas, etc. This fee can range from $50 up to $100 depending on the amount of time and travel made by our employee to visit the property. Rescheduling requires a 24 hour advance notice from the time of the scheduled photo shoot. If inclement weather exists the day of the photo shoot, it will be at the photographer’s discretion to reschedule.

As the owner of Home Show Tours Inc., I am going to temporarily create a new photo policy. This temporary policy will be as follows:

Home Show Tours Inc. dba qchomeshow.com, quadcityhomeshow.com, TheFsboPros.com, and other domains owned and operated by such company as of July 5th, 2018 hearby offer a temporary release of photos taken by our staff with the understanding that any and all photos used cannot be altered, defaced, re-marked, resized or have the copyright © information removed or altered.

The photos remain intellectual property of Home Show Tours Inc. and will not be used in such a manner as to create confusion, misleading information, or to in a way manner or form defame or degrade the company’s reputation. This temporary release is for the testing of misuse and possible legal issues that may be unforeseen. If such issues arise, you as the client or user of such photos agree to be liable for any and all misconduct or illegal activity your posting may or may not have caused. You also agree, in order to use the release that you will email the company a link to each and every website and/or entity that you are using the photos on. This will enable our staff to maintain tracking records and seek misuse of this policy.

This release is exclusively for "active" Home Show Tours Clients that are selling by owner. If your property has expired on the qchomeshow.com website, you must cease use of all photos and intellectual property of Home Show Tours Inc. Please remove any and all relevant links, photos, etc off of all extra marketing.

This policy is subject to change without notice. The length or duration of this temporary policy is undetermined as of yet. If the policy is changed, you may be notified of the changes via email as long as you have followed the instructions of the above mentioned criteria for use of the photos. You may or may not be required to remove the photos from any and all postings you have made if the altered policy requires it.

By using or posting photos taken and owned by Home Show Tours Inc. you agree to this policy and its terms and conditions.

I sincerely hope this new policy will help our clients and I ask that as a client, you will appreciate the gesture.

Any technical problems, viewing incapability, internet connection problems, etc are not the responsibility of our company. If your device is incapable (or not properly setup) to view any part of the site, or has any other problems using or viewing our content, the responsibility falls on the owner of the device to acquire the necessary plug-ins, technical support, software, etc. We will not be responsible for any downtime as a result of any technical problems or other problems caused by our hosting ISP.

If you do have a problem viewing or using a part of our site – please let us know and we will try to help you if we can.

Our company provides a service to advertise properties for sale or rent according to the information provided by the homeowner. We reserve the right to refuse service as we see fit. Any and all decisions will be determined fairly by the owner of our company and are not to be disputed. Any advertisement that proves damaging or detrimental to our business will be denied or terminated. All information acquired through our site will be directed to the client and the client will conduct the sale. No misuse of any contact information will be tolerated. Spamming or soliciting of our clients will be viewed as harassment and will be immediately reported. No external linking or unauthorized directions or hinting to other urls allowed by any means. Any violation of these terms can, – and will – lead to termination of the advertisement and be reported to the appropriate authorities. All costs related to the terminated advertisement indicated will be accountable for by the client, as well as any financial costs our business may encounter as a result of the violation.

If you are using one or more of our signs – Placement of the sign MUST be within city regulations. Any fines or charges for not following city regulations will be the responsibility of the homeowner solely. You agree to maintain our sign within these limits and accept all responsibility for the sign. Please check with your city office for information about sign placement. The yard sign ‘must’ be maintained for the duration of the advertisement. If your property gets listed with an agent, the sign is to be maintained in the yard. If the sign is pulled, the ad will be pulled as well with no refund or chance of placing it back on the site without renewal & the sign in place again.

Our site is agent friendly. We have absolutely no problem with you listing with an agent or agents listing on our website.

Situations develop that cause questions or concerns about listing with or leaving an agent listed property:

Situation #1) If the agent paid for the advertisement and your contract is terminated with the agent: the advertisement will be terminated regardless if you are still on the market and want to go back to selling by owner. (This policy must be enforced for it is not in the best interests of the agent/broker who paid for the advertisement).

You can create a new advertisement for the property under your own account. All fees, etc apply as a new client and a new listing.

Situation #2) If you are selling FSBO and want to list your home with an agent: Our clients who decide to list their property with an agent/broker can take advantage of all renewal discounts, etc. The agent can also continue using the same advertisement – for it is in the best interest of the homeowner who paid for the advertisement.

Situation #3) If you switch agencies or agents: If you paid for the ad, switching is no problem. If the agent paid for the ad and you are terminating your contract with that agent, the ad will be terminated as well for the same reasons listing in #1.

Home Show Tours Inc. Dba QcHomeShow.com, QuadCityHomeshow.com, TheFsboPros.com, offers advertising services to property sellers and is not in any way a real estate brokerage.  Home Show Tours Inc. does not collect a commission, closing costs, or any such compensation from the sale of the customer's property.

The MLS package is a referral to a local broker/agent who will place your home on the local multiple listing service AND let you sell by owner… Home Show Tours Inc. involvement is only in the advertising. We do not collect a commission nor do we have you sign a contract. The broker/agent will have their own contract for you to sign in order to get on the MLS. Conditions of said contract are the sole responsibility of you and the broker/agent. Home Show Tours Inc. has no involvement with the agreement you enter with the agent/broker.

Any violation of these terms will lead to termination of the advertisement and will be addressed by our law firm. All costs related to the violation will be accountable for by the client, as well as any financial costs our business may encounter as a result of the violation.
