Intellectual property rights
The Company holds exclusive intellectual property rights over all content of the Platform, including its software, graphic design, sound elements, databases and other constituent parts.

User categories: visitors and registered users
The Platform is intended for different types of users, who may be divided into visitors and registered users according to the manner of access and use.
These terms of use apply to all users without exception, regardless of whether they access the Platform anonymously or through a registered account.

The user is responsible for keeping the password safe and for all activities carried out using their access credentials.
Creating an account by a natural person requires entering certain personal data via a form. This data is processed in accordance with personal data protection legislation and the Privacy Policy published on the Platform. To protect the system from abuse, each user must verify their email address and phone number, whereby the same contact details may be linked exclusively to one user account.
Advertising by legal persons
Legal persons have the option of using the Platform for the purpose of advertising real estate, with the note that all standard advertising services are available free of charge during the promotional period, regardless of the user's legal status or the type of property. This benefit applies during the first six months from the launch of the Service.
During this period, users do not select advertising packages — all functionalities are available free of charge, without limits on the scope or number of listings.
Legal entities that advertise on the Platform may include:
- Real estate agencies – legal entities and entrepreneurs engaged in brokering real estate transactions. They are allowed to open a so-called main account (umbrella), with the option of creating multiple sub-accounts with different user roles:
- Agent – can create and manage their own ads;
- Property owners who offer properties that have already been the subject of a legal transaction (e.g. sold, inherited, etc.) — they also have the right to publish ads during the promotional period free of charge.
- New construction advertisers – including entrepreneurs, legal and natural persons offering residential or commercial units that have not yet been sold or transferred at the time of advertising — they may also use all advertising options free of charge.
After the promotional period expires, advertising categories and packages will be introduced, about which all users will be informed in a timely manner through the Platform.
Registration of legal entities is permitted only for entities registered in accordance with applicable laws.
Registered users are obliged to regularly update the information in their account and to promptly notify the Platform of any changes to their data.
At any time, a registered user has the right to request deactivation or complete deletion of their account by sending a request to: love@sprat.rs
Advertising through the Platform
The Company enables users to publish advertising messages exclusively via the internet, acting as an intermediary in the transmission of such content.
In accordance with applicable legal provisions (Article 45, paragraph 9 in conjunction with Article 19 of the Advertising Law), advertisers are not obliged to submit an advertising declaration, but they are required to clearly identify themselves when using the advertising service.
All content that users post on the Platform must be authentic, accurate and placed in the appropriate category, in accordance with the rules set out in these Terms of Use.
The full legal responsibility for the legality and truthfulness of the advertising message lies exclusively with the user who published the ad. Advertising that misleads, encourages discrimination, uses covert or comparative advertising methods, or in any way misleads users is prohibited, in accordance with the Advertising Law.
The user who posts content on the Platform guarantees that they have all rights and authorizations over the published material (texts, photographs, visual elements, etc.), including intellectual property rights, and bears responsibility for any infringement of those rights.
The Company reserves the right not to publish or to remove content from the Platform if it:
- violates the laws of the Republic of Serbia,
- contains inappropriate, offensive or unethical content,
- is not in line with the mission of the Platform,
- does not represent an advertisement related to the sale or lease of real estate.
By publishing an advertising message, the user gives the Company irrevocable consent to make that message available to the public through the Platform, as well as to share it through other services and media with which the Company cooperates, without additional compensation.
Further use and transfer of content published on the Platform by third parties is permitted exclusively with the prior written approval of the Company, with clear indication of the source and a link to the original publication.
The Company does not moderate user ads and does not influence their content. The user bears full legal responsibility for all information they publish. However, the Company reserves the right to make basic spelling or language corrections in order to preserve the quality of the display, without changing the meaning and message of the ad.
A user who posts content on the Platform gives the Company the right to use it for its own promotion, as well as for educational and other non-commercial purposes, without additional compensation.
Posting an ad on the Platform does not restrict the user from publishing the same content in other places or platforms of their choice.
Publishing ad listings
All users who have registered an account on the Platform have the option to independently post ads through the form available on the website. For the functionality of the system and a better user experience, certain fields in the form are mandatory. Users may hide some of these mandatory fields from public display to protect their privacy — in that case, the data remains visible only to the Company, but not to website visitors.
Real estate agencies (legal entities and entrepreneurs engaged in brokerage) have an additional option of posting ads via automatic integration. This technical option enables automatic transfer of ads from their database to the Platform, with automatic updating .
Combining both methods of posting ads is not allowed.
Users undertake to use all information obtained through the Platform, including contact details of other users, exclusively for the purpose for which the data was published. Any other use constitutes a violation of these Terms and may have legal consequences in accordance with applicable regulations.
After publication, the ad remains active in the system for 30 days, unless the user decides to deactivate it independently before that deadline. After this period, the ad is automatically removed from active display, but it can be reactivated by posting it anew.
During the promotional period, all ads and functions related to their highlighting will be available to users free of charge. After the promotional period ends, commercial advertising options will be introduced, and users will be notified in a timely manner.
