Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Compass Abroad website and services. By accessing or using our website, you agree to these Terms.

1. Service Description

Compass Abroad is a real estate lead generation and referral platform that connects Canadian buyers with licensed local real estate agents in international markets. We provide educational content, buyer guides, and agent matching services. We are not a licensed real estate brokerage, mortgage broker, legal advisor, or tax advisor.

2. Lead Referral Disclaimer

Compass Abroad facilitates introductions between buyers and local real estate agents. We earn a referral fee from the destination agent upon a completed transaction. By submitting your information, you consent to being contacted by a matched local agent.

We make reasonable efforts to vet local agents, but we do not guarantee agent performance, transaction outcomes, property values, or investment returns. All real estate transactions involve risk. You should conduct independent due diligence and consult qualified legal, tax, and financial advisors before purchasing property abroad.

3. Educational Content

All content on this website, including buyer guides, destination information, tax guidance, and legal explanations, is for general educational purposes only. It does not constitute legal, tax, financial, or real estate advice. Laws change frequently — always verify information with qualified professionals in your jurisdiction and the destination country.

4. User Conduct

You agree not to:

  • Provide false or misleading information in forms
  • Use our services to spam or harass agents or third parties
  • Scrape, crawl, or systematically collect content from our website
  • Attempt to access unauthorized areas of our systems
  • Violate any applicable laws or regulations

5. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Compass Abroad and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our services, reliance on our content, or any real estate transactions facilitated through our platform. Our total liability shall not exceed CAD $100.

6. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Alberta, Canada.

7. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of our website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. Material changes will be communicated via email to registered subscribers.
