Disclaimer

Karpathos Houses is a trade name of The Karpathos Guide (Dutch Chamber of Commerce, KVK no. 74160737). Karpathos Houses is an online listing platform for houses, plots and long-term rentals on Karpathos, Greece. By using this website you accept the terms below.

Not a real estate agency

Karpathos Houses does not act as a real estate agent, broker or intermediary. We don't buy, sell or rent property and we don't arrange viewings, negotiations or legal checks. Listings are placed by sellers, landlords and agencies. Any agreement about a property is made directly between buyer and seller, or through the agency they choose.

Listings

Sellers are responsible for the accuracy of their listing, including the price, size, location, legal status and photos. Sellers confirm that they own the property or are authorised to sell or rent it, and that they hold the rights to the photos they submit. We check listings before publication but don't verify the information, the ownership or the legal status of a property. We may refuse, edit or remove any listing without giving a reason. The asking price in a listing is the full price the buyer pays to the seller. Sellers may not add their own costs on top of it later, such as costs for photos, paperwork or surveys. If the buyer also pays an agent fee, this is stated in the listing. The buyer's own purchase costs, such as transfer tax, notary and lawyer, are not included in the asking price. Sellers must let us know as soon as a property is sold, rented or no longer available. If a listing turns out to be sold, not allowed to be sold, or if a seller does not respond to buyers, we remove the listing and may refuse future listings from that seller. Listings expire after six months unless the seller renews them.

A property may already be sold, rented or withdrawn, or offered at a different price, before the listing is updated or removed. Sellers don't always inform us of changes. We are not responsible if a listing is out of date, if a property is offered by someone who is not the owner or if a seller does not respond to your messages. Always confirm the availability, price and ownership of a property with the seller, and have ownership checked by a lawyer before you pay anything.

Accuracy of information

We aim to keep the information on this website correct and up to date, but we don't guarantee that it is complete or accurate. Always verify information yourself, with a lawyer or engineer where needed, before making a decision.

Paid services

A photo shoot is paid on the day of the shoot, before the photos are published. A photo shoot can be moved to another date free of charge, for example because of bad weather. After the photo shoot has taken place, the payment is not refunded. A featured placement is paid in advance. A featured placement increases visibility on the website but does not guarantee a sale or rental. It is not refunded if the property is sold, rented or withdrawn before the end of the period. Separate written agreements apply to any commission.

Photos and film

Photos and film made by Karpathos Houses remain the property of Karpathos Houses, also when a listing is removed or an agreement ends. They may not be used by the seller or third parties without our written permission. For unauthorised use we charge €1,000 per use.

Advertising

This website shows advertisements from Google AdSense. Advertisers are not checked by us and an advertisement is not a recommendation.

Links to other websites

Links to other websites, such as agencies, architects and service providers, are for convenience only. We are not responsible for their content or services.

Liability

Karpathos Houses and its owners are not liable for any direct or indirect damage resulting from the use of this website, the information on it or dealings with sellers, buyers or third parties. This includes anything that happens during the sale, purchase or rental of a property, such as viewings, negotiations, agreements, deposits and other payments, legal checks, the transfer at the notary and the work of agencies, lawyers or other parties we refer you to. Never pay a deposit or any other amount before a lawyer has checked the property and the agreement.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify Karpathos Houses and its owners against all claims, damages and costs, including legal fees, that result from your use of the website, a breach of these terms or a violation of the law or the rights of third parties. This includes claims about the content or photos of a listing you placed.

Governing law

Dutch law applies to this disclaimer and the use of this website. Disputes are submitted to the competent court in the Netherlands.

Changes

We may change this disclaimer at any time. The current version applies.
