ListingSonarListingSonar Terms of Service
Effective date: September 9, 2026 Last updated: September 9, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding legal agreement between you and Code Leaf Studios LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company ("ListingSonar," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the website at listingsonar.com, the ListingSonar application, and any related features, data, reports, emails, and services we make available (collectively, the "Service").
By clicking "Sign in with Google," creating an account, or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Section 19 (Disclaimer of Warranties), Section 20 (Limitation of Liability), and Section 23 (Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver) contain important limitations on our liability to you and on how disputes between us will be resolved, including a waiver of your right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action. Please read them carefully.
1. Agreement to These Terms
1.1 These Terms apply to every visitor and user of the Service.
1.2 If you use the Service on behalf of a company, partnership, LLC, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and "you" means both you and that entity, which is jointly and severally responsible under these Terms.
1.3 These Terms incorporate by reference our Privacy Policy and any additional posted policies, guidelines, or supplemental terms that we identify as part of these Terms.
2. Eligibility
2.1 You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to form a binding contract to use the Service.
2.2 You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under the laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction, or if we have previously terminated your account.
2.3 You represent that you are not located in, and are not a national or resident of, any country subject to United States embargo, and that you are not on any United States government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
3. Accounts and Sign-In
3.1 The Service uses Google sign-in. Signing in for the first time creates your account. Your use of Google sign-in is also governed by Google's own terms and privacy policy, which we do not control.
3.2 You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, including activity by anyone you allow to access it, and for maintaining the security of the Google account you use to sign in.
3.3 You must provide accurate information and keep it current. You may not create an account for anyone else without authorization, share credentials, or maintain more than one account to evade any limit, suspension, or termination.
3.4 Notify us promptly at the address in Section 29 if you learn of any unauthorized use of your account. We are not liable for any loss arising from unauthorized account access.
4. What the Service Is
4.1 ListingSonar performs automated searches and records where a short-term rental listing you identify appeared in publicly displayed search results at the time of the search, and presents that information as position data, historical trends, competitor counts, charts, and periodic email recaps.
4.2 All output of the Service — including any position, rank, page number, visibility band, competitor count, trend, chart, score, comparison, projection, or recommendation — is an observational estimate derived from a limited automated sample. It is not, and does not purport to be, an authoritative, complete, verified, or official statement of any listing's actual ranking, visibility, performance, or booking potential on any platform.
4.3 We may add, change, limit, suspend, or remove any feature, metric, data source, data retention period, output format, or portion of the Service at any time, for any reason, with or without notice to you.
5. No Affiliation With Airbnb or Any Listing Platform
5.1 ListingSonar is an independent product. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, certified by, or in any way officially connected to Airbnb, Inc. or any other short-term rental, travel, booking, or listing platform.
5.2 "Airbnb" and all other platform names, logos, and marks referenced in the Service are the property of their respective owners and are used only for identification and descriptive purposes, in a nominative fair-use manner.
5.3 We do not control, and have no ability to influence, any platform's search algorithm, ranking factors, listing display, personalization, availability, terms, or policies. Nothing in the Service confers any relationship with, standing before, or influence over any platform.
5.4 You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service, and your use of any information obtained through the Service, complies with the terms of service, policies, and applicable rules of any platform on which you list a property, and with all applicable laws. If a platform's terms prohibit your use of a third-party tool like the Service in connection with your listing, you must not use the Service for that listing.
6. Free Access; Our Right to Charge
6.1 The Service is currently offered free of charge. Free access is a revocable privilege, not a right, and creates no expectation of continued free access, no credit, and no property interest of any kind.
6.2 We may at any time, in our sole discretion and with or without notice, introduce fees, subscriptions, usage limits, quotas, paywalls, tiers, or trial periods; move any existing or future feature behind a paid tier; or change any price. Your continued use of the Service after a fee takes effect constitutes acceptance of that fee. If you do not agree to a fee, your sole and exclusive remedy is to stop using the Service and delete your account.
6.3 Any fees you pay are, to the maximum extent permitted by law, non-refundable, including on suspension or termination of your account.
6.4 No trial, promotional, complimentary, grandfathered, or introductory arrangement is perpetual, and we may end any such arrangement at any time.
7. Data Accuracy — Read This Section Carefully
7.1 The Service may be wrong. You expressly acknowledge and agree that the Service's output may be inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, stale, missing, duplicated, misattributed, out of order, internally inconsistent, or entirely absent, at any time and without notice.
7.2 Why. Search results vary by, among many other things: the searching device, session, account, and history; geographic and map-boundary interpretation; date, price, currency, and guest-count parameters; filters and sort order; personalization and experimentation by the platform; A/B tests; caching; localization; inventory changes; and undisclosed changes to ranking algorithms. Automated collection is additionally subject to rate limits, blocking, timeouts, network failures, parsing errors, layout changes, sampling gaps, missed runs, software defects, and third-party outages. A position we report may differ materially from what any given guest sees, and results are not reproducible.
7.3 No verification. We do not independently verify, audit, validate, or guarantee any data presented in the Service, including data you supply, data derived from public sources, and data displayed about listings other than your own.
7.4 No guarantee of collection. We do not guarantee that any search will run on any schedule, that any day will be recorded, that historical data will be retained for any period, that gaps will be backfilled, or that any email recap will be generated or delivered.
7.5 Your responsibility. You are solely responsible for independently verifying any information before relying on it, and you assume all risk of any decision you make in reliance on the Service. Do not use the Service as the sole basis for any decision.
8. No Professional Advice; No Guaranteed Outcome
8.1 The Service is provided for informational purposes only. Nothing in the Service is business, investment, financial, tax, legal, real estate, marketing, revenue-management, or professional advice of any kind, and no fiduciary, advisory, agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created by these Terms or your use of the Service.
8.2 We make no representation or guarantee regarding any outcome, including any improvement in ranking, visibility, occupancy, nightly rate, revenue, reviews, or bookings. Any pricing, listing, staffing, purchase, marketing, or other business decision you make is yours alone, and we bear no responsibility for its consequences.
9. Your Content and Submissions
9.1 "Your Content" means anything you submit, upload, enter, or transmit to the Service, including listing URLs and identifiers, property details, guest capacity, account and profile information, recipient email addresses, notes, labels, and communications with us.
9.2 Your representations. You represent and warrant that: (a) you own or control the listings and properties you submit, or are authorized by the owner or the owner's authorized manager to submit them and to receive data about them; (b) you have obtained all consents required for any third-party email address you add, including consent for that person to receive recurring commercial email that may contain advertising; (c) Your Content does not infringe or misappropriate any third party's intellectual property, privacy, publicity, contract, or other rights; and (d) your submission and our processing of Your Content will not violate any law or any agreement to which you are a party, including any platform's terms of service.
9.3 License to us. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, sublicensable, transferable license to host, store, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, create derivative works from, publish, transmit, display, and otherwise use Your Content for the purposes of operating, providing, securing, analyzing, maintaining, and improving the Service and developing new products and features. This license survives termination of your account with respect to copies retained in backups, logs, and aggregated or de-identified data.
9.4 No obligation. We have no obligation to store, retain, back up, monitor, moderate, or return Your Content, and we may remove or refuse any content for any reason. You are solely responsible for maintaining your own copies of anything you value.
10. Aggregated and De-Identified Data
10.1 We may collect, generate, and retain usage data, search results, market data, technical logs, and performance data arising from operation of the Service.
10.2 We may create aggregated and de-identified data that does not directly identify you or your account, and we own all right, title, and interest in such data and may use, retain, publish, license, sell, and otherwise commercially exploit it for any purpose, including benchmarks, market reports, research, marketing, and new products, both during and after your use of the Service. This right survives termination.
11. Communications, Recaps, and Sponsored Content
11.1 By creating an account, you consent to receive service-related and transactional communications from us by email, including weekly recaps, alerts, account notices, and notices of changes to these Terms. Some of these communications are necessary to operate the Service and cannot be opted out of while your account remains active.
11.2 Emails and other parts of the Service may contain advertising, sponsorships, promotions, or paid placements. We may monetize the Service through advertising at any time. We do not endorse any advertiser, and we are not responsible for any advertiser's products, services, claims, or conduct. Any dealing you have with an advertiser is solely between you and that advertiser.
11.3 You may unsubscribe from marketing email using the mechanism in those emails or by contacting us. Unsubscribing does not stop transactional or account communications.
11.4 The Service is offered at no charge on an advertising-supported basis. Sponsored content is part of the recap emails, and we do not currently offer an advertisement-free version of the Service. If you unsubscribe from those emails you may lose access to the recap feature.
11.5 We identify sponsored content as sponsored. We do not provide your name, email address, or other personal information to any sponsor, and we do not permit sponsors to email you directly. Our handling of information in connection with advertising is described in our Privacy Policy.
12. Acceptable Use
You will not, and will not permit or enable anyone else to:
(a) access the Service by any automated means, including scraping, crawling, harvesting, or bulk downloading, or extract, copy, or reconstruct any substantial portion of the Service's data or database;
(b) resell, sublicense, rent, lease, white-label, republish, syndicate, or otherwise make the Service or its output available to any third party as a product or service, except that you may share reports and data for listings you are authorized to manage with the owner of that listing;
(c) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code, structure, algorithms, or methods of the Service, except where such restriction is prohibited by law;

We may investigate and take any action we deem appropriate for any suspected violation, including removing content, suspending or terminating accounts, and cooperating with law enforcement.
13. Intellectual Property; License to You
13.1 The Service, including all software, code, design, interfaces, text, graphics, charts, layouts, compilations, methods, and the ListingSonar name and marks, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property law. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
13.2 Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Service, and to use reports and data generated for listings you are authorized to manage, for your own internal business purposes only. This license terminates automatically when your access to the Service ends.
14. Feedback
If you send us ideas, suggestions, feature requests, bug reports, or other feedback, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, sublicensable, transferable license to use and exploit it for any purpose without restriction, attribution, or compensation to you, and you waive any claim to the contrary.
15. Third-Party Services and Links
The Service depends on and may link to third-party services, platforms, data sources, providers, and websites that we do not control, including Google sign-in, hosting and database providers, email delivery providers, and the platforms whose public search results the Service observes. We are not responsible for any third party's availability, accuracy, content, security, practices, policies, or acts or omissions, and any interruption, change, blocking, or discontinuation by a third party may degrade or terminate the Service without liability to us.
16. Privacy
Our collection and use of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms. By using the Service you consent to that collection and use, including transfer to and processing in the United States.
17. Beta, Early Access, and Experimental Features
Some or all of the Service may be pre-release, beta, early access, or experimental. Such features are provided "as is" for evaluation only, may be unstable or discontinued at any time, may produce unreliable results, and are excluded from any commitment, representation, or service expectation whatsoever.
18. Suspension and Termination
18.1 We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your account and your access to the Service at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice, and without liability to you.
18.2 You may stop using the Service and request account deletion at any time. That is your sole and exclusive remedy if you are dissatisfied with the Service.

19. Disclaimer of Warranties
19.1 THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ALL DATA, OUTPUT, REPORTS, EMAILS, CHARTS, AND CONTENT, IS PROVIDED "AS IS," "AS AVAILABLE," AND "WITH ALL FAULTS," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
19.2 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, AND OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT, SYSTEM INTEGRATION, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE.

19.4 NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED FROM US OR THROUGH THE SERVICE, CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED HERE.
19.5 Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you; in that case, such warranties are limited to the minimum scope and duration permitted by law.
20. Limitation of Liability
20.1 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER WE NOR OUR OWNERS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, OR LICENSORS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BOOKINGS, OCCUPANCY, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, OPPORTUNITY, DATA, OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, WARRANTY, STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
20.2 OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (a) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (b) FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS (US$50.00). YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IF YOU HAVE PAID US NOTHING, THIS CAP IS US$50.00.
20.3 THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE, AND ARE AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN US. WE WOULD NOT PROVIDE THE SERVICE, PARTICULARLY WITHOUT CHARGE, WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS.
20.4 Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you; in that case, our liability is limited to the minimum extent permitted by law.
21. Indemnification
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us and our owners, members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, agents, suppliers, and licensors from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, investigations, proceedings, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Service or of any data or output from it; (b) Your Content; (c) your breach of these Terms or of any representation or warranty you make here; (d) your violation of any law or of any third party's rights, including any platform's terms of service; (e) any email address you added or any recipient's claim regarding email received from the Service; or (f) any decision made by you or by anyone relying on you in connection with the Service.

22. Assumption of Risk and Release
22.1 You knowingly and voluntarily assume all risk arising from your use of the Service, including all risk of inaccurate, missing, or misleading data.
22.2 To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release us and the parties listed in Section 21 from all claims, demands, damages, and causes of action of every kind, known and unknown, arising out of or relating to disputes between you and any third party — including any platform, guest, owner, client, competitor, or advertiser — in connection with the Service.
23. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
23.1 Informal resolution first. Before initiating any proceeding, you agree to contact us at the address in Section 29 with a written description of the dispute and the relief sought, and to negotiate in good faith for at least sixty (60) days. This is a condition precedent to commencing arbitration.
23.2 Binding arbitration. Except as stated in Section 23.5, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, including its formation, interpretation, breach, termination, and validity, will be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (or its Commercial Rules where applicable), before a single arbitrator, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, or by telephone, videoconference, or documents-only submission at the claimant's election. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
23.3 Class action and jury waiver. YOU AND WE EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, COORDINATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, OR TO ACT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL. The arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. If this Section 23.3 is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request will be severed and heard in court under Section 24, and the remainder of Section 23 will remain in force.
23.4 Thirty-day opt-out. You may opt out of Section 23 by sending written notice of your decision to opt out, including your name and the email address associated with your account, to the address in Section 29 within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out of arbitration does not affect any other provision of these Terms, and will not subject you to any adverse action by us.
23.5 Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, and either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to prevent actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property or confidentiality rights.
24. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms and any dispute arising out of them are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and we consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Hennepin County, Minnesota, and waive any objection to that forum, including on grounds of inconvenience.
25. Time Limit on Claims
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CLAIM ACCRUES, OR IT IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
26. Changes to These Terms
26.1 We may modify these Terms at any time. We will post the revised Terms with an updated "Last updated" date, and, for material changes, will provide reasonable notice by email or in the Service.
26.2 Your continued access to or use of the Service after the revised Terms take effect constitutes your acceptance of them. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service and delete your account.
27. Force Majeure
We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by anything beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disaster, epidemic, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor action, government action, law or regulation, power or internet failure, hosting or provider outage, cyberattack, denial of service, and any change, blocking, rate limiting, or discontinuation by any third-party platform or data source.
28. General
28.1 Entire agreement. These Terms, with the Privacy Policy and any supplemental terms, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, communications, and proposals, whether oral or written.
28.2 Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if it cannot be, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force.
28.3 No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it, and any waiver must be in writing and signed by us.
28.4 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights under them, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent; any attempt to do so is void. We may assign these Terms freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.
28.5 No third-party beneficiaries. Except for the indemnified and released parties identified in Sections 21 and 22, there are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms.
28.6 Notices. We may give notice to you by email to the address associated with your account, by posting in the Service, or by posting on listingsonar.com; notice is effective when sent or posted. You must give notice to us in writing at the address in Section 29.
28.7 Relationship. You and we are independent contractors. Nothing here creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, or employment relationship.
28.8 Interpretation. Headings are for convenience only. "Including" means "including without limitation." These Terms will not be construed against the drafter.
28.9 Electronic contracting. You consent to transact with us electronically and agree that your electronic acceptance has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature.
