Information from MLS compilations of current listing information, from statistical reports, and from any sold or comparable reports may be used by MLS participants as the basis for aggregated demonstrations of market share or for comparisons of firms in public mass-media advertising and other public representations. MLSs may, as a matter of local determination, prohibit advertising or representations about specific properties which are listed with other participants or which were sold by other participants (as either listing or cooperating broker).

Any print or non-print form of advertising or other public representation based in whole or in part on information supplied by the MLS must clearly disclose the source of the information and the period of time over which such claims are based. (Adopted 11/04) M
