MLS, through its Shareholders or other subscriber associations, provides Participants the option of a no-cost waiver of MLS fees, dues, and charges for any licensee or licensed or certified appraiser in a participating office who can demonstrate subscription to a different MLS where the principal broker for the office also participates. MLS, through its Shareholders or other subscriber associations, requires Participants to sign a certification for nonuse of MLS services, which includes penalties and termination of the waiver if violated.
For purposes of this Section 6.1 and all rule provisions referring to it, “licensee” refers to non-principal salespersons and licensed and certified appraisers. Section 6.1.1 sets out the conditions for fee waiver, Section 6.1.2 the process for obtaining and maintaining waivers, Section 6.1.3 circumstances under which waiver is revoked and consequences of revocation, and Section 6.1.4 the consequences of repeated violations of these policies.
