However, under no circumstances is any individual or firm, regardless membership status, entitled to Wyoming Multiple Listing Service "membership" or "participation" unless they hold a current, valid real estate broker's license in the State of Wyoming and is capable of accepting and offering compensation to and from other Participants or is licensed or certified by an appropriate state regulatory agency to engage in the appraisal of real property. Use of information developed by or published by the Wyoming Multiple Listing Service s strictly limited to the activities authorized under a Participant's licensure(s) or certification and unauthorized uses are prohibited. Further, none of the foregoing is intended to convey "participation" or "membership" or any right of access to information developed by or published by the Wyoming Multiple Listing Service where access to such information is prohibited by law. The REALTOR principal of any firm, partnership, corporation, or the branch office manager designated by said firm, partnership, or corporation as the Participant shall have all rights, benefits, and privileges of the Service, and shall accept all obligations to the Service for the Participant's firm, partnership, or corporation, and for compliance with the bylaws and rules and regulations of the Service by all persons affiliated with the Participant who utilize the service. (Amended 4/98) ** MLS-Only Participant: Any REALTOR (principal) or any firm comprised of REALTOR (principals) who are member(s) of a Board other than the Casper Board of REALTORS. MLS Participatory rights shall be granted according to the following: As cited in Part One: Key Definitions, Section 2. Definition of MLS Participant of the current NAR Handbook on Multiple Listing Policy: Under the Board of Choice policy, MLS participatory rights shall be available to any REALTOR (principal) or any firm comprised of REALTOR (principals) irrespective of where they hold primary membership subject only to their agreement to abide by any MLS rules or regulations; agreement to arbitrate disputes with other Participants; and payment of any MLS dues, fees, and charges. Participatory rights granted under Board of Choice do not confer voting privileges or eligibility for office as an MLS committee member, officer, or director. The universal access to service component of Board of Choice is to be interpreted as requiring that MLS Participatory rights be available to REALTOR principals, or to firms comprised of REALTOR principals, irrespective of where primary or secondary membership is held. This does not preclude an MLS for assessing REALTORS not holding primary or secondary membership locally fees, dues, or charges that exceed those or alternatively, that are less than those charged Participants holding such memberships locally or additional fees to offset actual expenses incurred in providing MLS services such as courier charges, long distance phone charges, etc., or for charging any Participant specific fees for optional additional services.
