Program Terms

MRG Advantage™ Master Program Terms

These master terms apply to every MRG Advantage™ promotion, guarantee and client benefit program, together with the individual terms stated for each program. Please review the complete terms before participating.

1. Eligibility

Programs are available only to qualifying clients who enter the applicable written representation agreement with the employing brokerage and satisfy the requirements of the applicable promotion.

2. No automatic entitlement

Submission of an inquiry, registration or consultation request does not establish eligibility. Eligibility is confirmed in writing.

3. Remuneration

All remuneration is negotiable and established in the applicable representation agreement. Nothing in these programs suggests that remuneration is established, fixed or approved by RECO, CREA, TRREB, any real estate board, government or other regulator.

4. Successful completion

Unless individual program terms say otherwise, rebates, credits and closing-related benefits become available only following successful completion of the qualifying transaction.

5. Maximum benefit

Benefits cannot exceed the maximum stated for the applicable program.

6. No double recovery

A benefit cannot exceed an applicable cost when it is expressly described as reimbursement of that cost.

7. Combining promotions

Offers cannot be combined unless expressly confirmed in writing by the brokerage.

8. Taxes

Amounts advertised are subject to applicable tax treatment. HST applies to real estate brokerage services where applicable.

9. Third-party services

MRG does not guarantee the performance of inspectors, lawyers, movers, warranty companies, mortgage professionals, contractors or other third parties.

10. Changes

Programs may be modified, suspended or withdrawn prospectively. Changes do not affect a benefit already confirmed in writing for a qualifying client except as permitted by the applicable program terms.
