We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Continued use of the platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

Use of the platform

sweethome is a directory of residential open homes in New Zealand. You may use the platform for personal, non-commercial purposes: browsing listings, saving properties, and planning open home visits.

You must not use sweethome to scrape, republish, or redistribute listing data in bulk without our written permission.

You must not use the platform in any way that could damage, disable, or impair its operation, or interfere with other users.

You must not use sweethome to post, submit, or distribute content that is hateful, discriminatory, or harassing on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected characteristic.

Listing accuracy

Listing information on sweethome is provided by real estate agencies and individual sellers. We make reasonable efforts to ensure accuracy but cannot guarantee that all listing details, including times, prices, addresses, and availability, are correct or current.

Open home times can change or be cancelled at short notice. We strongly recommend confirming details directly with the listing agent before travelling to a property.

sweethome is not liable for any loss or inconvenience arising from inaccurate or outdated listing information.

User accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

You grant sweethome a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display the listing content (including images and text) on the platform for the duration of the listing.

We reserve the right to decline, remove, or modify submitted listings that do not meet our content standards or that we believe to be inaccurate or fraudulent.

Intellectual property

The sweethome brand, logo, design, and original platform content are the intellectual property of sweethome and may not be reproduced without permission.

Listing content (photos, descriptions) remains the property of the listing agent or seller. sweethome holds only a limited licence to display it as described above.
