Terms of Service
Last updated: 11 September 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Casas Unitas platform. By accessing or using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. Please read them carefully.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By creating an account, accessing, or using the Casas Unitas platform ("Platform", "Service", "we", "us", or "our"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Platform. Your continued use of the Platform following any amendments to these Terms constitutes acceptance of those amendments.
2. Platform Description and Marketplace Model
Important: Marketplace Model Notice
Casas Unitas operates as a marketplace platform that connects property buyers, homeowners, and sellers with licensed and verified professional service providers, including architects, lawyers, and other specialists.
We do not directly provide architectural, legal, or professional services. All professional services are provided by independent third-party professionals who are licensed in their respective jurisdictions.
Our role is limited to:
- Facilitating connections between users and verified professionals
- Processing payments and managing service requests
- Providing checking and drafting tools to support your decision-making process
- Vetting and verifying the credentials of professionals in our network
- Managing the administrative aspects of service delivery
What We Provide
- Marketplace platform and technology
- Curated network of verified professionals
- Deterministic checking and drafting tools
- Secure payment processing
- Administrative support
- Quality assurance processes
What We Do Not Provide
- Direct professional services
- Legal advice or representation
- Architectural design services
- Guarantees of specific outcomes
- Insurance or liability coverage
- Property transaction guarantees
3. Where AI Is Used, and Where It Is Not
AI helps read documents. It does not decide outcomes.
Our Platform uses artificial intelligence (AI) for a narrow set of helper tasks: suggesting which clause of a document you upload may answer a checklist question, sorting and classifying uploaded documents, moderating community content, and answering general questions through our assistant. AI does not check your contract, does not draft your contract, and does not decide a Legality Label. Those outputs are deterministic. A contract check follows from the points a Spanish contract is legally required to cover and from the answers you confirm, a draft follows from the questionnaire you complete, and the Legality Label grade is assigned by the reviewing architect.
Important limitations
- Every tool on the Platform is a supplementary aid only and none constitutes professional legal or architectural advice
- A clause suggestion may point to the wrong clause, or miss one entirely. You confirm every answer before it counts
- No output of the Platform should be relied upon as a substitute for professional review
- Technology limitations may result in inaccuracies, incomplete analysis, or misinterpretation
- Spanish property law is complex and jurisdiction-specific; no tool replaces local expertise
Strongly recommended: professional review
We strongly recommend that you engage our licensed architects and lawyers to review any analysis, contract, or report before you act on it. Professional review ensures:
- Compliance with current Spanish property law and regulations
- Identification of jurisdiction-specific requirements
- Personalized advice tailored to your specific circumstances
- Protection of your legal and financial interests
- Expert interpretation of complex legal and technical matters
Note: A checklist, a questionnaire and a clause suggestion can surface common issues quickly, but none of them replaces the nuanced judgment, local knowledge, and professional expertise of licensed professionals.

6. Membership, Fees, and Payments
6.1 Membership
Casas Unitas offers one paid membership (€89.00). It gives access to voting on member issues, discussion groups, the Knowledge Base, regional real-estate news, common issues, and member deals, together with full access to all professional forms (Required Documentation, 25-point Contract Checker, Legality Label form), and the right to invite the member's own architect or lawyer to use those forms with them. It is a single payment. It lasts for one year and then ends automatically: there is no automatic renewal and nothing to cancel. The earlier €29.99 membership was withdrawn from sale on 4 September 2026; members who bought it keep it for the year they paid for, and may move to the current membership for the difference. Memberships bought before 30 July 2026 as annual subscriptions continue to renew under the terms that applied when they were bought, until cancelled.
6.2 Service Fees
Professional services carry additional fees as listed on the Platform. All prices are in Euros (€) and include applicable VAT unless stated otherwise. The price shown is the amount charged: nothing is added at checkout.
6.3 Payment Processing
Payments are processed securely through Stripe. By making a payment, you authorize us to charge your payment method for all fees incurred.

Refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis at our discretion. Membership fees are generally non-refundable after the first 14 days. Service fees may be refundable if services have not yet been delivered. Contact info@casasunitas.org for refund requests.
