### [Preamble](#preamble)

The Big Sky Country MLS (“BSCMLS”) provides this handbook to promote clear, consistent, and transparent standards for the use of MLS services, data, and related tools. These Rules & Regulations are intended to support cooperation among real estate professionals, protect the integrity of the MLS, and help ensure that Participants and Subscribers understand their rights, responsibilities, and obligations.

This handbook applies to all BSCMLS Participants, Subscribers, appraisers, assistants, and any other person or entity granted access to MLS services, data, or related products through the BSCMLS. Use of the MLS is conditioned upon compliance with these Rules & Regulations, all applicable BSCMLS policies, and any mandatory requirements imposed by the National Association of REALTORS®, where applicable.

The BSCMLS reserves the authority to interpret, administer, and enforce these Rules & Regulations consistent with its governing documents, applicable law, and any controlling national policy requirements. Nothing in this handbook expands a user’s rights beyond those expressly granted by the BSCMLS.
