VOW Terms of Use — registrant must acknowledge relationship + bona fide interest + personal non-commercial use + MLS ownership/copyright; no redistribution/sublicense (PropTx Rules, primary)

Claim. VOW Terms of Use require the registrant to: (i) acknowledge the broker-consumer relationship; (ii) bona fide interest in purchase/sale; (iii) restrict data to personal, non-commercial use; (iv) not copy, redistribute, retransmit, or otherwise use the data except in connection with consideration of a property; (v) not display, post, disseminate, distribute, publish, broadcast, transfer, sell or sublicense any Listing Information; (vi) acknowledge the MLS's ownership of and copyright in the MLS database.

Quote.

"Will not copy, redistribute, retransmit, or otherwise use any of the data… except in connection with the Consumer's consideration of the purchase or sale of an individual property."

Confidence. Verified — primary.

Caveats. Operative VOW Terms vary slightly board-to-board; use the actual PropTx Rules PDF and the specific board's Terms of Use when building.

Implication / use. The hard-edged VOW boundary. Anything resembling redistribution, aggregation, sublicensing, or commercial use by the consumer is barred.
