Unless as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Finest Membership Fee shall be due in full upon the commencement of the Finest Membership Term and upon the commencement of each Renewal Term. EVEN IF THE PRESENT AGREEMENT PERMITS PAYMENT OF THE ANNUAL FINEST MEMBERSHIP FEE ON A MONTHLY, QUARTERLY OR SEMI-ANNUAL BASIS, SUCH OPTION SHALL MERELY BE A PAYMENT PLAN OPTION AND SHALL NOT AFFECT THE FINEST MEMBERSHIP TERM, WHICH SHALL STILL BE ON AN ANNUAL BASIS AND THE ANNUAL FINEST MEMBERSHIP FEE FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR SHALL STILL BE DUE, AND UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD SUCH PAYMENT PLAN OPTION CONSTITUTE PAYMENT FOR RENEWAL TERMS.

FINEST INTERNATIONAL MAY OFFER AN AUTOMATIC RENEWAL OPTION. IN THE EVENT THAT AN AUTOMATIC RENEWAL OPTION IS AVAILABLE AND YOU DO NOT OPT-OUT OF SUCH AN OPTION AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 4.1, STRIPE PAYMENTS EUROPE, LTD (“STRIPE”), USED BY FINEST INTERNATIONAL AS A PAYMENT SOLUTION WILL SECURELY KEEP YOUR PAYMENT METHOD INFORMATION, AND YOU HEREBY AUTHORIZE FINEST INTERNATIONAL TO CHARGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD WHEN YOUR FINEST MEMBERSHIP TERM OR AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE IN CONNECTION WITH A FINEST MEMBER BENEFIT TERM IS UP FOR RENEWAL THEREBY AUTOMATICALLY RENEWING THE SAME FOR THE SAME PERIOD OF TIME AS THE PRIOR TERM.

1. within the first thirty (30) days of the Initial Finest Membership Term as set forth in Section 4.1 or

You shall not be entitled to a refund of your Annual Finest Membership Fee on the belief that your Finest Membership was unsatisfactory or did not live up to your expectations. If refunds are issued to your Payment Method, Finest Residences’s issuance of a refund receipt is the only confirmation that the Company has submitted your refund to the Payment Method charged at the time of the original sale. You acknowledge that Finest Residences has absolutely no control over when the refund will be applied toward your Payment Method’s available balance.

Section 5. Transfer of your Finest Membership

Your Finest Membership is personal to You and not the property of your employer or your company, even if your employer or company pays for the Finest Membership on your behalf.

Section 2. Finest Residences Marketplace

2.1. Definitions

• Property Offering : Real estate property proposed for sale or rent by a Finest Member.
• Listing Agent (of a Property): Real estate broker, agent or lawyer representing the seller (of the said property) by virtue of a listing agreement/sale mandate.
• Listed Property: Property proposed for sale or rent by its Listing Agent. 
• Presented Property: Property proposed for sale or rent by a real estate broker, agent or lawyer who does not represent the seller by virtue of a listing agreement/sale mandate but is duly authorized to do so by its Listing Agent or because the said Property is shared on a Multiple Listing Service (MLS) allowing it.
• Publishing Period: the period during which a Property Offering is published on the Finest Residences Marketplace.
• Property Offering Price: the asking price of a Property.

2.2. Property Offerings

Once You become a Finest Member, You are asked to choose your Membership Level. Each Membership Level, in addition to its specific benefits, allows You to publish a number of Property Offerings on the Finest Residences Marketplace.

To allow You to focus on your core business, Our in-house Web Designers will integrate your Property Offerings on your Account on the Finest Residences Marketplace. Please simply communicate your listings’ URL (Web addresses) to the Finest Member Support at and We will take care of it.

If your Listings are not available on your Website, please log in your Finest Member Account, click on “Submit a Property” in the sidebar menu and pre-publish them by filling out the Listing form provided for this purpose. Alternatively you can click on https://www.finestresidences.com/front-end-property-submission/.

Please note that Finest Residences, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to refuse any real estate listing that would not meet Our quality standards.

2.3. Publishing Period

Once your Property Offerings are validated by Finest Residences, they are published on the Finest Residences Marketplace until the Property is rent, sold or removed from the market or until your Finest Membership expires. Once one your Property Offering is removed, you can replace it by a new one.

2.4. Listing Agent and Presenting Agent

As a Finest Member, You are allowed to publish Property Offerings of properties for which You are not the Listing Agent, provided that You are explicitly authorized to do so by the Listing agent or that this property appears in a Multiple Listing Service (MLS) allowing it.

If a Property Offering is published by a Listing Agent of the said property, the Listing shall mention “Listed by” followed by the name of the concerned Finest Member;

If a Property Offering is published by a Presenting Agent of the said property, the Listing shall mention “Presented by” followed by the name of the concerned Finest Member.

2.5. Property Listing Priority

When publishing a Property Offering, a Finest Member entitled as a Listing Agent has always priority over a Finest Member simply acting as a Presenting Agent. Therefore, a Finest Member acting as the Listing Agent will be entitled to require from Finest International to claim authorship of such Property Offering. Finest Residences shall accept this claim upon presentation of a Listing Agreement.

In the event of a legitimate request by a listing agent to remove a Property Offering published by a Finest Member on the Finest Residences Marketplace, Finest Residences will contact such Finest Member to inform him/her of the request and to verify the existence and validity of his/her Listing Agreement. In the meantime, the said Property Offering will be suspended. In case of absence of a Listing Agreement or a legitimate right to present this property (MLS, etc.), the said Property Offering will be withdrawn.

If two Finest Members are representing the same Seller, each by virtue of a listing agreement, both will be authorized to publish this Property Offering on their Account.

Section 3. Real Estate Brokerage

3.1. Encouragement to collaborate and Split of Brokerage Fees

We strongly encourage You to collaborate with your fellow Finest Members worldwide to develop national and international real estate transactions and other business activities. Of course, throughout your collaboration, you will respect the highest degree of integrity, in accordance with the ethical rules set forth by Finest Residences.

3.2. Listing & Transactional Agreements
