Terms & Conditions: Owner Accounts
TERMS OF OWNER ACCOUNTS

Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting the revised terms on Truvi’s Platforms. It is the PMs responsibility to review these terms periodically to stay informed of any updates and your continued use shall be deemed acceptance of any updated terms. By activating an Owner Account for any Listing, the PM agrees to these terms and are to be read in conjunction with any other applicable terms.

1.3. The Owner Account does not provide the property owner with user access to the Truvi platform.
