How It Works
MLS Rules Require the Display of IDX Disclaimers
MLS disclaimers will normally be shown underneath each and every widget that displays listings on a web page. This means if you have multiple Gallery display widgets on one page, each gallery will have MLS disclaimers showing under it, which can make page layouts look very busy.
The Disclaimer Widget - One Widget to Disclaim Them All!
When the Disclaimer widget is included on a page, the disclaimers associated with individual display widgets will not be shown. This approach keeps page layouts cleaner and simpler while maintaining MLS compliance.
For example, by including the Disclaimers Widget in the footer section of each page, you comply with IDX rules while keeping the disclaimers out of the main content on your pages.
The image below shows this effect. On the left, how MLS disclaimers will be shown underneath each widget. The image on the right demonstrates how the disclaimer widget added to the very bottom of the page has the effect of suppressing all other disclaimers on that page.
Default Behavior
- Displays dark gray text on a white background panel
- Shows disclaimers for all MLS IDX services configured for your account
- Automatically suppresses disclaimers on other widgets when present on the page
- Responsive design adapts to container width
