2.3 Scope of Services Under the Token System
General Principle
Smart Landlord uses a token-based usage system (“Tokens”) that controls access to analytics, reports, and other platform features. Each registered user has a personal account with a monthly token allowance. Tokens are used exclusively for accessing platform features and do not constitute a digital currency or means of payment in the legal sense.
Monthly quota
The free account includes 100,000 tokens. Once the token allowance has been used up, you will not be able to perform any further actions that require tokens until a new allowance becomes available or additional tokens are purchased. Unused tokens expire at the end of the month and are not carried over to the following month.
Token usage
The cost depends on the type and scope of the services used. Examples:
Analysis or evaluation of a new real estate property
Preparation of a market or location report
Generating a PDF report or summary
Use of AI-powered features (e.g., forecasts, simulations)
Additional Token Purchases and Plan Changes
Users can purchase additional tokens at any time (“one-time purchase”) or upgrade to a higher-tier plan with an increased monthly allowance. The plan change takes effect immediately after confirmation in the user interface and applies starting from the current billing month.
Tokens that have already been purchased or used are non-refundable and cannot be transferred to other accounts.
Validity and Expiration
Tokens are valid from the date of allocation or purchase until the end of the current calendar month. Any remaining tokens will automatically expire. Tokens have no monetary value, cannot be redeemed for cash, and cannot be exchanged for other services.
Changes to the token system
Smart Landlord reserves the right to adjust token usage limits or quotas if necessary for technical or economic reasons. Users will be notified of any significant changes at least 14 days in advance and may terminate the user agreement early if they do not accept the changes.
Transparency and traceability
You can view your current token balance and all transactions at any time in the navigation menu.
