Terms of service
Introduction and Acceptance of Terms
Welcome to Micromarkets, operated by “MICROMARKETS TECHNOLOGY PROPRIETARY LIMITED” (referred to as "Micromarkets," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Micromarkets platform, including our website located at www.micromarkets.ai (the "Platform") and all related services, data, analytics, tools, features, content, and software provided by Micromarkets (collectively, the "Service").
By accessing the Platform, subscribing to our Service, or otherwise using the Service, you ("you" or "User") agree to be bound by these Terms in their entirety.

Service Description and Scope
Micromarkets provides a real estate market insights platform designed to deliver data and analytical tools to assist Users in making informed property investment decisions. The Service includes, but is not limited to:
Access to property data, market trends, and forecasts.
Analytical tools and visualisations.
Reports and summaries of market information.
Other features and functionalities may be introduced by Micromarkets.
Definition of Real-Time and Data Currency
For the purposes of clarity and transparency, the term "real-time" or "near real-time" in the context of our Service refers to data that is updated on a monthly basis, generally reflecting information from the most recent three-month period. This methodology provides a current market overview while allowing for data verification and quality control.
We explicitly state that "real-time" does not imply instantaneous updates or day-to-day data refreshes. Our data is processed and published on a monthly cycle to ensure a balance between timeliness and accuracy through a "verify then publish" approach. This means we prioritise verifying the integrity of the data before making it available.
