| Welcome, we are glad you have decided to make use our services. We look
forward to your involvement with our site. Before you begin delving into
the services and content available on our site, please take a moment to
review these Terms of Services ("TERMS" or the "AGREEMENT"). These Terms
serve as a binding agreement between you and our parent company, Bisart
Studios (“BISART”, “WE”, or “US”). It is important that you understand
both the benefits we provide as well as our limitations.

| This AGREEMENT applies to the self service slide show service(s)
(“SERVICES” or “SERVICE”) delivered through this web site under various
brands (domain names) including but not limited to VirtuallyShow,
RealtyShows, BisartTours, RemoteTours and Bisart (“OUR WEBSITE”).
|

| Our SERVICES are designed for creating SHOWS. SHOWS are the content that
is created by a user from self captured images; digital video urls;
property information; agent photo; company logo; agent info; panoramic
tours; and floor plans of residential and/or commerical real estate.

3. Intended Use
Our SERVICES are designed for creating SHOWS. This is an end-client
product, and these SERVICES may NOT be resold by or to any third party
without Bisart’s prior written consent. As a condition of your use of OUR
WEBSITE, you will not use OUR WEBSITE, or any Bisart product or service
for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these Terms. You will
not use OUR WEBSITE or any Bisart product or service in any manner that
could damage, disable, overburden, or impair OUR WEBSITE or restrict,
inhibit or otherwise interfere with any other party's use and enjoyment of
OUR WEBSITE or any Bisart product or service, including, but not limited
to, uploading files that contain viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time
bombs, corrupted files, or any other similar software or programs that may
interrupt, limit or damage the operation of another's computer or property.
You will not attempt to gain unauthorized access through hacking, password
mining, or any other means to OUR WEBSITE, other accounts with Bisart,
other Bisart Slide Shows, or the computer systems or networks connected to
OUR WEBSITE.
Your membership account can be cancelled at any time by calling
800-603-7469. You understand that OUR SERVICE is currently offered free of
a monthly subscription charge. While it is our intent to continue offering
OUR SERVICE without a monthly subscription, we reserve the right to change
this term at anytime and without notice. Should your membership be
terminated, the client software will no longer function and the online
account and SHOWS will not be accessible. Any SHOWS and account
information will be retained for 90 days after the termination or
cancellation of an account.
Your account is for your personal use only. Do not provide your sign-on
and password to any third party. Bisart will not be liable for any billing
disputes, claims, or demands of any kind that resulted directly or
indirectly from third party access. You are wholly responsible for all
transactions conducted through your account.
This SERVICE is for a single agent and permits one agent to create an
unlimited number of SHOWS for their own personal listings, SHOWS for their
buyers, or community shows. The SHOWS will be branded to the agent with the
inclusion of their individual photo and their individual name in their
account to display in the contact information feature. Nothing in the
SHOWS’s features can indicate that this account represents more than one
person. Additionally words such as Team, Group, Crew, or similar terms
which generally indicate that multiple persons are subscribed to this
account are not acceptable in branding a single agent account. Posting of
SHOWS other than the agent's own SHOWS (i.e. office shows, shows for other
agents, multiple agent teams, etc.) shall be cause for immediate
cancellation of this agreement.
If you wish to use this account for an agent team, then you must notify us
via email at members@virtuallyshow.com. Then you will be allowed to upload
an agent team photo and put an agent team email address. Posting of SHOWS
other than the agent team's own SHOWS (i.e. office shows, shows for other
agents, etc.) shall be cause for immediate cancellation of this
agreement.

9. Posting (Additional Exposure) Charges (Realtor.com, Google and
Internet)
9.1 Bisart offers its members the ability to get additional exposure on
the internet for a fee. There are numerous approaches to get additional
exposure. One approach is to have the member's show linked to the member's
real estate listing on Realtor.com. Another approach is to create a real
estate listing on Google.com. VirtuallyShow has links that lead to order
pages that enable the member to order additional expsure for a particular
approach. The member is charged at the time of the order and the work for
the additional expsoure is performed AFTER the ahrge has taken place.
9.2 Bisart does not offer any refunds under any circumstance. Once the
order is placed your credit card will be charged and no refund will be
offered.
9.3 If the member selects the option that the DO HAVE a showcase listing
on Realtor.com and it turns out that they do not have a showcase listing,
then the memeber will be informed that they made a mistake and that they
must pay the difference by credit card between a showcase listing posting
to realtor.com and a non-showcased listing posting to realtor.com. If the
member chooses to not pay the difference NO REFUND will be offered.
