Terms of Service
The terms covering use of this website, what the content is and is not, and the governing law. Plain language, California governed.
Using this site means accepting these terms
By accessing this website you agree to be bound by these terms, by all applicable laws and regulations, and you accept responsibility for complying with any local laws that apply to you. If you do not agree with any part of this, you do not have permission to use the site.
These terms apply to every visitor and user. The materials on this site are protected by copyright and trademark law.
What you may do with the content
You may temporarily download one copy of the materials on this site for personal, non-commercial viewing. That is a license to view, not a transfer of ownership, and under it you may not:
- modify or copy the materials;
- use them for any commercial purpose or any public display;
- attempt to decompile or reverse engineer any software on the site;
- remove any copyright or other proprietary notice;
- or transfer the materials to anyone else, or mirror them on another server.
This license ends automatically if you break any of those restrictions, and it can be ended at any time. When it ends, destroy any downloaded materials you still hold, electronic or printed.
What the content on this site is not
This matters more than the rest of this page, so it is stated plainly.
Everything written here about buying, selling, pricing, timelines and process describes a general approach and general market conditions. It is not legal advice, not tax advice, not lending advice, and not an appraisal. It is not a promise about what your specific property will sell for or what any specific transaction will do.
Real estate is local and situational. Anything on this site could be right in general and wrong for your house. Before you act on any of it, talk to me about your actual situation, and talk to an attorney or a tax professional where those questions belong to them.
Nothing on this site creates an agency relationship. That begins when a written agreement is signed, not when a page is read or a form is submitted.
Property information
Property information shown on this site is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed. Listings shown may or may not be listed by Crypton Realty. Property information is intended for the personal, non-commercial use of consumers, and may not be used for any purpose other than identifying properties a consumer may be interested in purchasing.
Availability, price and status change constantly. A property shown here may already be in contract or sold.
Disclaimer and limitations
The materials on this website are provided as is. No warranties are made, expressed or implied, and all other warranties are disclaimed, including without limitation implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. No representation is made about the accuracy, likely results, or reliability of the materials on this site or on any site linked from it.
In no event shall Kate Fomina, Crypton Realty or their suppliers be liable for any damages, including without limitation damages for loss of data or profit or due to business interruption, arising out of the use or inability to use the materials on this site, even after being notified of the possibility of such damage. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties or on liability for consequential damages, so these limits may not apply to you.
Errors and revisions
The materials on this site could include technical, typographical or photographic errors. No warranty is made that any of the materials are accurate, complete or current. Changes to the materials can be made at any time without notice, and there is no commitment to update them.
If you spot something wrong, email kate@cryptonrealty.com. Corrections are welcome.
Links to other sites
This site links to third-party sites that are not owned or controlled by Crypton Realty. Those sites have not all been reviewed, and no responsibility is taken for their content, their privacy practices, or what they offer. A link is not an endorsement, and using a linked site is at your own risk. Read the terms and privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.
Intellectual property
This site and its original content, features and functionality remain the property of Kate Fomina and Crypton Realty and their licensors, and are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws of the United States and other countries.

Changes to these terms
These terms can be revised at any time without notice, and by using this site you agree to be bound by the version current at that time. Where a revision is material, at least 15 days notice will be given before the new terms take effect.
A failure to enforce any right or provision here is not a waiver of it. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable by a court, the rest stays in effect.
Governing law and contact
Any claim relating to this website is governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does reading this site make you my agent?
No. An agency relationship starts when a written agreement is signed. Reading a page or submitting a form does not create one.
Is the pricing information on this site an appraisal?
No. Nothing here is an appraisal or a guarantee of value. A comparative market analysis is an informed opinion based on comparable sales, and it is free.
Which state's law applies?
California. Crypton Realty is a California brokerage based in Alameda.
