Interpretations

13.1 The Internet website of a REALTOR® is an Advertising vehicle. In the event of a multiple page website, every page is an Advertising vehicle. All properties displayed and all representations made on a website must comply with the REALTOR® Code as well as applicable provincial, federal and any other requirements regarding Advertising.

13.2 The advertised or offered price shall not be other than that which was agreed upon in writing with the Seller.
