Terms of Use

Effective date: May 18, 2026

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of sunbeltpulse.com (the “Site”), operated by SunBeltPulse. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the Site.

1. Acceptance of These Terms

By visiting the Site, reading our content, subscribing to the newsletter, or contacting us, you accept these Terms together with our Privacy Policy and Disclosure, which are incorporated by reference. You must be at least 18 years old, or have the consent of a parent or guardian, to use the Site.

2. Use of the Site

SunBeltPulse is a free, publicly available information resource. You may read, share, and link to our content for personal, non-commercial purposes. You agree not to:

  • copy, scrape, republish, or redistribute our content at scale or for commercial purposes without written permission;
  • use automated systems to access the Site in a way that disrupts or overloads it;
  • attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Site, its servers, or related systems;
  • use the Site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms.

We may suspend or restrict access for anyone who breaches these Terms.

3. Intellectual Property

All content on the Site — articles, analysis, charts, page design, and the SunBeltPulse name and logo — is owned by SunBeltPulse or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws, except for third-party data and materials identified as such. Using the Site grants you no ownership rights in that content. Short quotations with clear attribution and a link back to the source page are permitted; wholesale reproduction is not.

4. AI-Assisted Content and Data Accuracy

SunBeltPulse articles are researched and drafted with the assistance of AI tools, fact-checked, and reviewed by a person before publication, as described in our Editorial Standards. Market statistics are drawn from public US-government sources including the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency, U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (retrieved from FRED, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis), and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. While we work to keep content accurate and current, we do not warrant that it is complete, error-free, or up to date, and figures reflect the data available at the time of publication. We correct errors when they are identified.

5. Not Professional Advice

Content on the Site is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on the Site is financial, investment, tax, legal, or real estate advice, and nothing on it should be relied upon as such. Real estate decisions depend on individual circumstances — consult a licensed professional before making any purchase, sale, or investment decision. Past market conditions do not guarantee future results.

6. Third-Party Links, Advertising, and Affiliate Links

The Site contains links to third-party websites and services, and may contain advertising and affiliate links. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, products, services, or privacy practices of any third party. Some links are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission — at no additional cost to you — if you sign up or make a purchase; see our Disclosure for details. A link or advertisement is not an endorsement, and we are not a party to any transaction between you and a third party.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Site and all content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, SunBeltPulse and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for any loss arising from your use of — or inability to use — the Site or any content on it, including any decision made in reliance on that content. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless SunBeltPulse and its operators from any claim, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and of the state in which SunBeltPulse is operated, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute relating to these Terms or the Site is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in that state.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be noted by updating the effective date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
