14. REVISIONS
Each Feature Page placement includes up to two (2) rounds of revisions prior to publication. A revision round consists of one consolidated list of requested changes submitted by the Advertiser and one corresponding update by PMB.
Revision requests must be submitted in a consolidated format. Multiple piecemeal requests may be treated as separate revision rounds. Additional revisions requested after the two included revision rounds may be subject to applicable revision fees, whether requested before or after publication.

16. ADVERTISING TERM, PACKAGES, AND RENEWAL
Complimentary or promotional advertising placements may be offered by PMB from time to time at PMB's sole discretion. The applicable advertising term, features, conditions, and availability of any complimentary or promotional placement will be as communicated by PMB at the time the placement is offered. Complimentary or promotional placements have no cash value and do not create any entitlement to future complimentary advertising.
Property Advertisements may be renewed, extended, upgraded, or repurchased at PMB’s then-current rates and terms. PMB reserves the right to modify, suspend, discontinue, replace, remove, or introduce Advertising Packages, pricing, features, ad display options, promotional offers, revision fees, terms, durations, platform functionality, or related offerings at any time. PMB does not guarantee the continued availability of any particular package, feature, service, promotion, pricing structure, or platform functionality. Any such changes shall apply prospectively and shall not affect an Advertiser’s current advertising term once payment has been received and the Content has been published, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
17. ADVERTISEMENT REMOVAL REQUESTS
An Advertiser may request removal of an Advertisement at any time by providing written notice to PMB.
Removal of an Advertisement at the Advertiser's request does not entitle the Advertiser to any refund, credit, extension, suspension, pause, reimbursement, or adjustment of the applicable Advertising Term.
Once removed at the Advertiser's request, the Advertisement shall be deemed terminated.
Any future request to restore, republish, reactivate, relaunch, or re-advertise the Property may require the purchase of a new Advertising Package, Advertising Renewal, or new advertising placement at PMB's then-current rates and terms.
PMB reserves the sole right to determine whether a requested restoration, republication, reactivation, or relaunch constitutes a revision, renewal, upgrade, or new advertising placement.
18. PLATFORM MODIFICATION AND DISCONTINUATION
PMB reserves the right to modify, suspend, discontinue, sell, transfer, restructure, wind down, or cease operation of all or any portion of the Platform, Services, Advertising Packages, features, functionality, or advertising offerings at any time.
In the event PMB permanently discontinues the Platform or Services, PMB may remove, archive, discontinue, or deactivate active Property Advertisements, Feature Pages, Property Profiles, and related advertising content.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, PMB shall not be liable for any loss of business opportunity, loss of exposure, loss of inquiries, loss of advertising value, loss of data, loss of anticipated results, or other indirect, consequential, incidental, special, or punitive damages arising from any modification, suspension, discontinuation, transfer, restructuring, sale, or cessation of the Platform or Services.
19. HIDDEN ADDRESS ADVERTISEMENTS
PMB may permit ad placements where the specific geographic address is withheld from the public display profile or Property Profile. PMB reserves the right to determine how such Advertisements are displayed, indexed, mapped, and identified on the platform. The Advertiser acknowledges that hiding exact addresses may impact automated search metrics and lead discovery pathways on the website storefront.
20. NO VERIFICATION
PMB does not investigate, verify, confirm, warrant, monitor, or guarantee any information, media, or Content submitted by Advertisers or other users. PMB makes no representations regarding the accuracy, completeness, legality, ownership, availability, condition, measurements, zoning status, tenancy status, permit status, pricing, photographs, videos, descriptions, or any other information relating to a property. Users and Advertisers are solely responsible for conducting their own due diligence.
21. REMOVAL AND SUSPENSION OF CONTENT
PMB reserves the right to reject, suspend, edit, remove, archive, or unpublish any Advertisement or Content at any time, in its sole discretion, without prior notice and without liability, where PMB considers such removal necessary. Without limiting the foregoing, PMB may take such action where PMB becomes aware of potential legal, regulatory, tenancy, zoning, ownership, copyright, fraud, safety, compliance, or other operational concerns.
22. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Canadian law, PMB, its parent company, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, contractors, and software providers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, revenue, data, property transaction opportunities, or alternative advertising costs.
PMB’s total aggregate liability arising from or relating to an Advertisement, this Agreement, or the Services shall not exceed the exact amount paid by the Advertiser to PMB for the applicable active Advertising Package.
23. INDEMNIFICATION
The Advertiser agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless PMB, its owners, contractors, affiliates, representatives, directors, officers, employees, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, demands, and legal fees arising from:
(a) submitted Content, media, and property information;
(b) inaccurate, misleading, or incomplete information within an Advertisement;
(c) copyright, trademark, or intellectual property claims related to submitted assets;
(d) property-related disputes, transactions, negotiations, or tenancy issues; or
(e) violations of applicable municipal, provincial, or federal laws.
24. FORCE MAJEURE
Neither party shall be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement (except for payment obligations) resulting directly or indirectly from acts of God, fire, flood, natural disaster, strikes, labor disputes, utility blackouts, telecommunications failures, server connectivity dropouts, cyber-attacks, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) events, government actions, pandemics, war, riots, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of that party.
25. SEVERABILITY
If any provision, paragraph, or clause of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such determination shall not affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
26. ASSIGNMENT
The Advertiser may not assign, transfer, delegate, or license this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of PMB.

27. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
