Using this website & the information it contains
1. Acceptance of these terms
By accessing or using sonomamarinranches.com (the "Site"), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site. These terms apply to visitors, prospective buyers and sellers, and anyone else who uses the information published here.
2. No agency relationship from website use
Browsing this Site, reading the articles, or sending an inquiry through the contact form does not create an agency, brokerage, or attorney-client relationship. A representation relationship is established only by a signed written agreement (Buyer Representation Agreement or Listing Agreement) between you and Karl W. Bundesen on behalf of the brokerage. Until that agreement is in place, no duty of confidentiality, loyalty, or fiduciary care arises from Site use.
3. Real-estate information — not a substitute for professional counsel
The Site publishes general information about the Sonoma and Marin County ranch real estate markets, including the Williamson Act, conservation easements, water rights, and buying and selling procedure. That information is for general education only. It is not legal, tax, accounting, appraisal, or investment advice. Before making a real estate decision, consult your own licensed attorney, CPA, appraiser, lender, and real estate broker.
4. Property information — verify independently
Property facts shown on this Site (acreage, improvements, water sources, permitted uses, access, distances, and any historical sale figures if later republished) are believed reliable but have not been independently verified by broker. All buyers should independently verify all facts before making any offer or financial commitment. Past-sale information is shown for historical reference; figures should be independently verified through the relevant MLS, county recorder, or title company.
5. Intellectual property
All content on this Site — text, photographs, layouts, schema, and code — is the property of Karl W. Bundesen unless otherwise noted, and is protected by U.S. copyright and trademark law. You may share links to pages on this Site freely. You may not republish substantial portions of the text or photography without prior written permission.
6. Photography credits
Property photographs are displayed for historical portfolio and regional-market context and are believed to come from broker, seller, contractor, or prior marketing sources available for that purpose. If you believe an image is credited incorrectly or should not appear here, contact Karl so it can be reviewed promptly.
7. DMCA — copyright takedown procedure
If you believe material on this Site infringes a copyright you own, you may submit a takedown request under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512). To be effective, your written notice must include:
