Terms of use

Purpose

esti.ma analyses public Moroccan property listings and produces two things: a price or rent valuation, and a ranking of listings whose asking price departs from the expected price.

Using the site, with or without an account, means accepting these terms.

What the service is not

esti.ma is not a property appraisal, nor investment advice, nor a brokerage service. Valuations come from statistical models whose median error is published and ranges from 13 % to over 30 % depending on property type. They give an order of magnitude and flag listings worth checking — never a transaction price nor a purchase decision.

We are party to no transaction. We verify neither the existence, nor the ownership, nor the legal status of advertised properties.

Data origin and accuracy

Data comes from listings published by third parties on public sites. We guarantee neither their accuracy, nor their currency, nor their availability. A listing may have been withdrawn, its price changed, or its description wrong at source.

Account

Creating an account requires a valid email address, to which a verification link is sent. You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for actions taken from your account. One account per person.

Plans and quotas

The standard account is free. It is bounded by ceilings — valuations per rolling twenty-four hours, number of alerts and favourites — which the interface shows as a counter rather than letting you discover them by hitting them. The premium plan raises or removes those ceilings, opens the detail of opportunities, and takes the ad slots away.

The site takes no payment to date: premium access is granted by the publisher. Ceilings may change; they are always readable from your own area.

Alerts and favourites

An alert is a saved search, nothing more: it triggers no email, no notification, no message. It flags what is new on your next visit. A favourite is a bookmark on a listing; if the listing leaves the corpus, the favourite leaves with it. A favourite on a listing posted by a member stays listed when that listing is no longer online.

Advertising

The site may display its own ad slots, served from our servers. No outside ad network is involved and no slot targets you: the choice depends on the placement alone. The premium plan removes them.

Listings posted by members

An account lets you post property listings for free. Their author alone is responsible for them: esti.ma hosts and displays them, but is party to none of the transactions they offer, does not visit the properties, and verifies neither their existence nor their legal status.

By publishing, you undertake that:

• the property exists, is available, and you are entitled to offer it;
• the price, area, location and photos match the actual property;
• the photos are yours, or you have the right to publish them;
• the phone number given is yours, or belongs to someone who agrees to it.

Prohibited: asking for money before a visit or through an anonymous payment method, bait prices unrelated to the property, duplicate listings, properties already sold or let, abusive or discriminatory content, and other people's contact details.

Checks. A listing is checked when published and at every significant change: a price far from the valuation, photos already used elsewhere, or wording associated with scams hold it for review before it goes online. Visitors can report it; several reports hold it pending review. A listing that breaches these terms may be removed, and its author is told why. Serious or repeated breaches lead to the account being suspended and its listings removed.

Displayed valuation. Where the property type allows, the public listing page shows our valuation, the gap of the asking price and the model's error margin. By publishing, you accept that display.

Duration. A listing stays online for sixty days, renewable. The number of listings online at the same time depends on the account's plan and is shown in your area.

Rights in the content. You remain the owner of your texts and photos. You grant esti.ma, for as long as the listing is published, the right to reproduce, resize and display them on the site and in search engine results.

Professional accounts. A professional can ask for their company to be verified (ICE and proof document). The “verified” badge attests that those documents were examined — not the quality of the properties offered or of the services provided.

Messaging. It is for exchanges about a listing. Links are refused and bulk sending is blocked. Anyone can block or report the other party. Never pay any money before visiting the property and checking the documents.

Prohibited uses

• large-scale automated extraction of service content;
• resale or redistribution of data without written permission;
• circumventing technical limits or quotas;
• creating several accounts to multiply quotas;
• any use liable to impair the service.

Manifestly abusive use leads to account suspension.

Ending the account

You can delete your account at any time from the “Profile” area: deletion is immediate, needs no justification, and has no cooling-off period. On our side, an account is suspended or closed only for a breach of these terms, and you are told why.

Availability

The service is provided as is, with no guarantee of continuous availability. It may be interrupted for maintenance, development, or causes beyond our control.

Liability

No purchase, sale or rental decision should rest on the service's figures alone. We cannot be held liable for a decision taken on that basis, nor for the consequences of data that was inaccurate at source.

Ownership

The models, the interface and the analyses produced belong to the publisher. Analysed listings remain the property of their authors and of the platforms hosting them.

Changes to these terms

These terms may change. Any substantial change will be announced on the site before it takes effect, and the date at the foot of the page says when this text last changed. Continuing to use the service after that date means accepting the version in force.

Governing law

Moroccan law. Any complaint may be sent to support@esti.ma before any legal action.
