You may only access and use the TDM Services (1) with a Third Party Entry System capable of receiving the TDM services as identified at tinydoorman.com/faq and (2) with the express permission and consent of the owner, landlord, or property manager of your Building (the “Building Manager”).

You should only share virtual key codes to people you know and trust; by sharing virtual key codes with a guest, you are giving them the ability to access and operate the Third-Party Entry System in order to gain access to the Building where you and others live. You are responsible for assuring each Guest complies with the TDM Terms and, as set out above, you alone will be liable for any unauthorized access or misuse of the TDM Services and/or Third Party Entry System.


Guests should be aware that by using the virtual key code you share with them, you will see information about their use and access of the Third Party Entry System and the TDM Services, and that you may revoke or limit access rights in your discretion, without notice.
