Terms of Service

Effective Date: October 4, 2026

1. Agreement to Terms & Eligibility

By accessing or using DateHog ("Service", "we", "us", or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not access or use the Service.

Eligibility: You must be at least 18 years of age and a licensed real estate professional, transaction coordinator, or authorized principal to use the Service. You represent and warrant that you have the legal authority and capacity to enter into these Terms on behalf of yourself and any brokerage or business entity you represent.

2. Description of Service & Administrative Role

DateHog provides productivity, deadline calculation, and administrative coordination software for real estate transactions. Services include parsing executed contract documents using automated algorithms and artificial intelligence, calculating estimated contingency deadlines, syncing timelines to calendar feeds, providing buyer/seller milestone portals, sending automated reminders (via email and SMS), and generating organized brokerage compliance packets (e.g., SkySlope split bundles).

NOT A BROKERAGE, ESCROW AGENT, OR LAW FIRM: DateHog is a software provider only. DateHog is NOT a licensed real estate broker, brokerage, title company, escrow agency, or legal practice. DateHog does not provide legal advice, contract interpretation, title examinations, or fiduciary escrow services. No attorney-client, broker-client, or fiduciary relationship is created by your use of the Service.

3. Mandatory User Verification & Disclaimer of Accuracy

YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR VERIFYING ALL CONTRACT DATES AND LEGAL COMPLIANCE.

While DateHog utilizes multi-model artificial intelligence, deterministic calculation engines, and quality assurance workflows to extract terms and compute deadlines per local rules (such as Washington State NWMLS Form 21 Section W), all outputs, dates, timelines, and document classifications are administrative aids provided for convenience only.

Real estate contracts are subject to complex legal interpretations, handwritten amendments, counteroffers, and statutory nuances. You, as the licensed real estate broker, agent, or transaction coordinator, retain the sole, exclusive, and non-delegable professional responsibility to review and verify the original executed contract, confirm all deadline calculations with escrow and the parties, and ensure timely performance of all contractual obligations.

4. Document Submission, Client Consent & Processing Authorization

When you upload, drag-and-drop, or email contract packages to DateHog:

  • Client Consent Warranty: You represent and warrant that you have obtained all necessary legal rights, authorizations, and client consents from all transaction participants (including buyers, sellers, and cooperating brokers) to transmit, process, and disclose their documents, contact details, and transaction terms to DateHog and its service providers.
  • Processing Authorization: You authorize DateHog to temporarily store uploaded contracts in secure cloud storage, extract text and visual elements, transmit contract data to commercial artificial intelligence providers (e.g., Google Cloud, Anthropic) under enterprise non-training terms, and permit authorized quality control personnel to review conflicting fields to resolve extraction discrepancies.
  • Automated Document Manipulation: You authorize DateHog to slice, reorder, rename, and package uploaded documents into separate addenda for brokerage compliance filing (including SkySlope-compatible formats), and, if elected, to forward those files to your designated brokerage or transaction inboxes.

5. Document Storage & 30-Day Auto-Purge Lifecycle

To facilitate multi-model verification, human exception review, and compliance packet generation, contract documents uploaded to DateHog are stored in private, encrypted cloud storage (Cloudflare R2).

30-Day Auto-Purge: All original contract documents and generated split PDF packets are permanently and automatically deleted from our object storage thirty (30) days after ingestion. You are solely responsible for maintaining permanent copies and archives of all transaction files and signed contracts within your brokerage's designated recordkeeping system in accordance with state licensing laws. DateHog is not a permanent document repository or compliance archive.

6. SMS Messaging Terms & Conditions

By opting into DateHog's SMS alert program, you agree to receive automated notifications regarding your active real estate transaction.

  • Program Description: SMS notifications alert transaction participants (buyers, sellers, agents) of upcoming contract deadlines (e.g., earnest money deposits, inspection responses, financing milestones, and closing schedules).
  • Message Frequency: Message frequency varies per transaction, typically 2 to 3 automated reminders per contingency event.
  • Pricing: Message and data rates may apply. DateHog does not charge participants to receive text alerts, but carrier rates for standard SMS apply.
  • Opt-Out: You can cancel the SMS service at any time by texting STOP to our number. You will receive a single confirmation message upon unsubscribing.
  • Support: Reply with the keyword HELP for assistance, or contact support@datehog.com.
  • Carrier Liability: Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
