documents, tools, products, financial and banking services, realtor services, accounts,
and/or other material made available through the Website ("Services"), are subject to
the Terms and Conditions of use set forth herein (this "Agreement" or "Terms"). For
purposes of this Agreement, (i) the terms "Website" and "Websites" include the Apps;
and (ii) "you" or "your" means the person accessing the Website and includes any
persons that allow others to provide information about themselves to Company.
THIS AGREEMENT CONSTITUTES A BINDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND US.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THROUGH ALL SECTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. YOUR
ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE WEBSITES IS SUBJECT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL
APPLICABLE LAWS AND WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE YOUR ACCESS IF
YOU VIOLATE THIS AGREEMENT. BY CLICKING ON LINKS WITHIN THE WEBSITES OR
WEBPAGES BEYOND THE WEBSITE'S HOMEPAGE, CLICKING ON A BOX OR ICON, OR
DOWNLOADING AN APP, YOU ACCEPT OF AND AGREE WITH THESE TERMS WHETHER
OR NOT YOU COMPLETE A TRANSACTION WITH COMPANY AND WHETHER OR NOT
YOU COMPLETE YOUR TRANSACTION ON THE WEBSITE OR THROUGH OTHER
CHANNELS, SUCH AS BY TELEPHONE, EMAIL, FACSIMILE OR OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO
NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS IN THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT ACCESS OR OTHERWISE
USE THE WEBSITES, ANY SERVICES AVAILABLE THROUGH THE WEBSITES, OR ANY

MANDATORY ARBITRATION NOTICE AND CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER
(PLEASE SEE SECTION 19 FOR COMPLETE DETAILS REGARDING MANDATORY
ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION, AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER). This Agreement contains a
mandatory (binding) arbitration provision and class action and jury trial waiver clauses.
Except for certain types of disputes described in the arbitration section below or where
prohibited by applicable law, you agree that disputes between you and us regarding your
use of the Websites or Services will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration and
you waive your right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration,
including as a class representative. The arbitrator's decision will be subject to very
limited review by a court. You will be entitled to a fair hearing but the arbitration
procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court. For more details,
please see below.
THIS AGREEMENT ALSO CONTAINS DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES AND LIABILITY
(please see Section 15). These provisions form an essential basis of our bargain. In
addition to this Agreement, your use of certain Services may be governed by additional
terms and conditions. We can change, update, add, or remove provisions of this
Agreement at any time by posting the updated Agreement on the Websites. We will
make commercially reasonable efforts to notify you of any material changes to this
Agreement, however, we are not obligated to. You waive any right you may have to
receive specific notice of such changes to this Agreement except for changes to our
agreement to arbitration, which is discussed more fully below. Your continued use of
the Websites or Services offered in or through the Websites after we have updated this
Agreement shall be deemed to constitute acceptance of the then-current Agreement.

10. LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES
The Websites may contain links to websites maintained by third parties that are not

We do not operate or control in any respect any information, software, products or
services available on such websites, and we do not endorse, approve, sponsor or
control any such websites' contents, or its sponsoring organization. You acknowledge
and agree that the third-party website may have different privacy policies and terms and
conditions and/or user guides and business practices than Company, and you further
acknowledge and agree that your use of such third-party website is governed by the
respective third-party website's privacy policy and terms and conditions and/or user

We do not permit third-party advertising on the Websites without express written
permission from the Company. You will not create links from any website or webpage to
the Websites or any webpage therein without our prior written permission.
11. USE OF TECHNOLOGY
Company may request your permission, through a separate consent process, to contact
you via phone, whether by live agent or artificial or prerecorded voice, SMS text to your
residential or cellular number, whether dialed manually or by auto dialer, or by email.
11.1 Email Policy
Email in General
Our communications to you in email may not accurately represent the entire or final
disposition of a matter or constitute our official business, due to brevity or informality.
Email is one medium through which information may be exchanged, as when an email
message responds to a voice mail. Accordingly, email, by itself, may not accurately
reflect the complete communication or our intent as to the subject matter referred to
within the communication, nor constitute an official business record of Company. Any
official content present in an email communication is qualified in its entirety by any
signed writings, which shall govern such content according to their provisions. Also,
unless explicitly permitted in a signed writing or necessary by law, the mere receipt of
an email by us may not put us on notice, timely or otherwise, of the matters contained
within that email.
Confidential Information
The emails we send are confidential (and all attachments to such emails are
confidential) and are to be reviewed and/or disclosed to only the individual or entity to
whom they are addressed and intended. If you receive an email in error or if it is
improperly forwarded to you, the information contained in the email should, at all times,
remain confidential and such circumstances shall not authorize you to use or disclose
the confidential information. You agree to notify the sender immediately by telephone or
email, and delete or destroy the original and any copies. Any unauthorized use,
disclosure, reproduction, or distribution is strictly prohibited. Emails marked as
"Confidential" contain confidential and/or proprietary information that is disclosed
under the condition that you treat and maintain such information strictly in a
confidential manner and in compliance with all applicable privacy laws and that you
ensure such information is not disclosed or used by others, except for the limited and
confidential purpose for which it is being provided. By accepting receipt of and/or
reviewing confidential information that we provide, you agree to indemnify, defend, and
hold us harmless against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, or expenses, including
attorneys' fees that we may incur as a result of the unauthorized use or disclosure of
confidential information due to your acts or omissions.
Privileged Information
Emails exchanged with or involving our lawyers and legal staff may contain privileged
information subject to the attorney-client privilege and/or the attorney work product
privilege. Such privileged information shall not be waived if you receive an email in error
or if it was improperly forwarded or delivered to you or you otherwise receive such
communication by any means. If you are not the intended recipient of privileged
information, you agree to notify the sender immediately by telephone or email and
delete or destroy the original and any copies. Any unauthorized use, disclosure,
reproduction, or distribution of confidential or privileged information is strictly
prohibited.
Privileged Information
Time Sensitive Instructions & Official Matters; Filters
Do not use email to communicate time-sensitive instructions or official company
matters; they may not be received or reviewed by us in a timely manner. Emails are
processed through various virus and spam filters which may delay or reject the delivery
of an email altogether. Urgent matters should be communicated in person directly with
the person of concern via telephone and then confirmed in writing with the appropriate
person via fax or email. We reserve the right to block any email source we deem
inappropriate.
Business Purposes
Our email facilities are to be used only for conducting business with us. Vendors,
suppliers, clients and others receiving email from us may not use our email addresses
or contact information (or any other person's email address appearing on or in our
email) for any purpose other than corresponding with us for lawful and legitimate
business purposes relating to our business. The receipt of an email is not our consent
for you to use our email address or contact information for direct marketing purposes
or for transfers of data to third parties, and such use is strictly prohibited.
Monitoring of Communications
All emails sent to us or from us may be forwarded, monitored, and/or reviewed by
others within Company other than the designated recipient/sender with or without
notice to the designated recipient/sender. We may also record or monitor other forms
of communications you have with us via the Websites, PC-talk, chat, email, text
messages to and from Company-owned cellular devices, and telephone. By using such
communication methods, you are consenting to the recording, monitoring, storage,
and/or use of the same without further notice.
Unsecured Transmissions
While certain designated areas within our Websites employ technologies to secure your
data and the transmissions between you and us, general email uses the Internet, which
is an open system, and we cannot provide absolute assurances that all emails (sent or
received) are secure, error free, not corrupted, incomplete or virus free and/or that they
won't be lost, mis-delivered, destroyed, delayed, intercepted or decrypted by others. We
therefore advise against sending sensitive or personally identifiable information over
email, and disclaim all liability with regard to emails (and the contents therein) if they
are corrupted, lost, destroyed, delayed, incomplete, mis-delivered, intercepted, decrypted
or otherwise misappropriated by others.
Computer viruses can be transmitted via email through email content, attachments to
emails and embedded links. Although our emails are believed to be free of any virus or
other defects that might affect computer systems in which they are received and
opened, it is your responsibility to ensure that any email you open is virus free. We are
not responsible for any loss or damage arising in any way from the receipt, use, storage
or transmission of our emails. If we forward an email or reply to a prior email, the
contents may have been produced by someone other than us, for which we assume no
liability whatsoever. The use of email to introduce any virus, malicious or disabling code,
or to otherwise interfere with our email transmissions, telecommunication, or computer
networks is prohibited and against the law; violators will be prosecuted to the fullest
extent of the law.
In addition to any other disclaimers we make in this Agreement, we disclaim any
representation or warranty that our emails are virus free and/or error free. You agree to
hold the Company harmless for any loss or damage arising from an email sent or
forwarded to you or arising from any email reply or otherwise received by you.
Prohibited Email Content
We prohibit our team members from using email to make or send any type of menacing,
defamatory, discriminatory, harassing, offensive or threatening statements or materials,
or statements or materials that infringe the copyrights or legal rights of others. Such
communications are against our policies and outside the scope of employment of our
team members. You agree to hold the Company harmless from any harm, loss, or
damage resulting from such communication, and the Company accepts no liability for
such communication, and any of our team members responsible for such
communication will be personally and solely liable for any damages or other liability
arising therefrom. Please report any such violations to our Customer Service
Department, 41050 W 11 Mile Rd. #220, Novi, MI 48375, or you may call (855) 927-3712.
The use of our email facilities for purposes of sending menacing, harassing, offensive
or threatening messages to us or any member of our team is strictly prohibited and is
unlawful; violators will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Use of our email
facilities for soliciting any of our team to breach their employment agreements or to
interfere with their employment status with us, or which otherwise interferes with our
business or economic advantage is strictly prohibited and may result in legal action
against you.
11.2 Terms Applicable to Email and Mobile Messaging
Emails are Generally Not Formal Signed Writings; E-Sign Disclosure
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, our emails do not contain or constitute an electronic
signature, even if the sender's name appears in the email.
All Rights Reserved; Statements Attributable to Us
Our email shall be deemed Content and subject to the restrictions set forth herein with
respect to Content. The only official publishable public statements that can be
attributed to us are statements issued by our CEO, President, or Chief Operating Officer.
Negligent Misstatement
In addition to the other disclaimers made in this Agreement, we disclaim any and all
responsibility, including responsibility based on negligence or negligent misstatement,
for the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of data or information contained in or
furnished through email and we make no warranties, express or implied, with respect to
such data or information. By using or interacting with the Website and/or reviewing
information that we provide, you agree to hold us harmless against any and all claims,
losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses, including attorney's fees that you may incur as
a result of any negligence or negligent misstatement.

addition, we reserve the right to collect, maintain, indefinitely store, and use (at our sole
discretion and without limitation and in compliance with applicable law and our
applicable privacy policies or notices) any or all data from your use of or interaction with

arising out of claims resulting from your use of the Websites, including without
limitation any claims alleging facts that if true would constitute your breach of this
Agreement or any provision herein, including any use of Content other than as expressly

To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, Company disclaims all
warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, all implied warranties of
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement with respect
to the Websites. Company makes no representation or warranty regarding the content
or operation of the Websites, webpages, or use thereof. The webpages' content on or

dates of preparation or publication. Company shall have no obligation to maintain the
currency or accuracy of any webpage content on or available through the Websites.
You acknowledge and agree that Company is not, and shall not be, responsible for the
results of any defects that may exist in the Websites or their operation. Company makes
no representation or warranty that: (i) the operation of the Websites will meet your or
any other user's requirements; (ii) access to the Websites will be uninterrupted, timely,
secure, or free of errors, viruses or other harmful components; or (iii) any defects in the

15. TERMINATION OF USE
You acknowledge and agree that Company may, at any time, in its sole discretion, limit,
modify, suspend, or terminate your access, use of, or interaction with the Websites with

in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Company under this Agreement
and those provided by law.
16. SUBSCRIPTION AND CANCELLATION
Company reserves the right to implement a subscription term and fee for the use of its
Websites and any Services. Company further reserves the right to offer different types
of subscriptions and fees. Company reserves the right to implement a subscription fee
and term at any time by providing notice to you on the Websites.
If a subscription fee and term is implemented, you will receive written confirmation
when your subscription offer has been accepted. Processing of an application or fee for
a subscription does not signify acceptance of the subscription offer.

pertaining to your specific subscription, you have the right to cancel your subscription at
any time. Cancellation shall take effect at the end of the then-current subscription
period and no refunds, credits, or exchanges will be provided for that subscription

17. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Neither Company nor its subsidiaries, affiliates, vendors, or licensors (or any of their
employees, agents, officers or directors) shall be held liable for any direct, indirect,
punitive, incidental, special or consequential damages or other injury, harm, or damage
arising out of or in any way connected with the use or the inability to use the Websites
or with the delay or inability to use the Websites, or for any information, software,

or not resulting from acts of god, communications failure, theft, destruction or
unauthorized access to our records, programs or services, or otherwise arising out of
the use of the Websites, whether resulting in whole or in part, from breach of contract,
tortious conduct, negligence, strict liability or otherwise, even if Company and/or our
affiliates, vendors and/or licensors have been advised of the possibility of damages.
Applicable law may not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or
exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the
above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. However, in no event shall the
collective total liability of Company and its subsidiaries, affiliates, vendors, or licensors
(or any of their employees, agents, or directors) to you for damages, losses, and causes
of action (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) exceed One Hundred Dollars ($100).

otherwise protected under the Truth-in-Consumer Contract, Warranty and Notice Act.

19. MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER
In the event that we are not able to resolve a dispute, and with the exception of the
claims for injunctive relief by us as described above and otherwise set forth herein, you
hereby agree that either you or we may require any dispute, claim, or cause of action
("Claim") between you and us or any third parties arising out of use of the Site, the
Services, and any other actions with us (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud,
misrepresentation, or any other legal theory) to be arbitrated on an individual (nonclass) basis.
However,
both
parties retain the right to seek relief in a small claims court
(or a state court equivalent) for a Claim within the scope of its jurisdiction so long as the
small claims action does not seek to certify a class, combine the claims of multiple
persons, recover damages in excess of the limit for a small claim under applicable state
law or is not transferred, removed, or appealed from small claims court to any different
court. Additionally, if you are a California resident, you retain the right to obtain public
injunctive relief from any court with proper jurisdiction.
THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN
ARBITRATION AWARD IS VERY LIMITED. ADDITIONALLY, ANY ARBITRATION OF A
DISPUTE WILL BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND, THEREFORE, YOU UNDERSTAND
AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS
REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. AS PART OF
THIS WAIVER, YOU AGREE THAT YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO ACT AS A PRIVATE
ATTORNEY GENERAL IN AN ARBITRATION; THAT EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED
IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, CLAIMS BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST YOU MAY
NOT BE JOINED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH CLAIMS BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST ANY
OTHER PERSON; AND THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO CONDUCT
A CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ARBITRATION OR
MULTIPLE-PARTY ARBITRATION.
You and we agree that your use of the Services involves interstate commerce, and that
this arbitration agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the
Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) set forth in Title 9 of the U.S. Code to the fullest extent
possible, notwithstanding any state law to the contrary, regardless of the origin or
nature of the Claims at issue. The arbitrator must follow, to the extent applicable: (i) the
substantive law of the state in which we entered into the transaction giving rise to this
arbitration agreement; (ii) the applicable statutes of limitations; and (iii) claims of
privilege recognized at law. The arbitrator will not be bound by federal, state or local
rules of procedure and evidence or by state or local laws concerning arbitration
proceedings.
If either you or we elect to arbitrate a Claim, the dispute shall be resolved by binding
arbitration administered under the applicable rules of the American Arbitration
Association ("AAA"). Either you or we may elect to resolve a particular Claim through
arbitration, even if the other party has already initiated litigation in court related to the
Claim, by: (a) making written demand for arbitration upon the other party, (b) initiating
arbitration against the other party, or (c) filing a motion to compel arbitration in court.
If this is a consumer-purpose transaction, the applicable rules will be the AAA's
Consumer Arbitration Rules. The applicable AAA rules and other information about
arbitrating a claim under AAA, including how to submit a dispute to arbitration, may be
obtained by visiting its website at https://www.adr.org/ or by calling 1-800-778-7879. If
AAA will not serve as the administrator of the arbitration, and you and we cannot then
agree upon a substitute arbitrator, you and we shall request that a court with proper
jurisdiction appoint an arbitrator. However, we will abide by the applicable AAA rules
regardless of the forum. Arbitration shall be conducted in the county and state where
you accepted these Terms, you reside, or another reasonably convenient place to you as
determined by the arbitrator, unless applicable laws require another location. Judgment
on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
thereof. Except as provided in applicable statutes, the arbitrator's award is not subject
to review by the court and it cannot be appealed. The parties will have the option to
request and receive a statement of reasons for the arbitration award.
If you elect to file the arbitration, and this is a consumer-purpose transaction, you will
pay the filing fee to the extent required by AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules but not to
exceed the cost of filing a lawsuit. Any amount above what it would cost you to file a
lawsuit, we will pay. All other arbitration fees and expenses shall be allocated to us
according to AAA rules. Except for the arbitration fees and expenses, each party shall
pay its own costs and fees incurred (including attorneys' fees), unless the arbitrator
allocates them differently in accordance with applicable law. This paragraph applies
only if this is a consumer-purpose transaction.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, and except as otherwise set
forth in this paragraph, the agreement to arbitration may be amended by us only upon
advance notice to you. If we make any amendment to this agreement to arbitration
(other than renumbering the agreement to align with any other amendment to the
Terms) in the future, that amendment shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a
legal proceeding or action against us prior to the effective date of the amendment. The
amendment shall apply to all other Claims governed by this agreement to arbitration
that have arisen or may arise between you and us. However, we may amend this
agreement to arbitration and not provide you notice; in that case, the amendments will
not apply to you and the agreement to arbitration contained in these Terms to which you
agreed will continue to apply to you and us as if no amendments were made.
If any part of this arbitration provision is invalid, all other parts of it remain valid.
However, if the class action limitation is invalid, then this arbitration provision is invalid
in its entirety, provided that the remaining Terms shall remain in full force and effect.
This arbitration provision will survive the termination of your use of the Site, the
Services, and any other actions with us.
You may reject this arbitration provision within thirty (30) days of accepting the Terms
by emailing us at legalnotices@nafhomes.com and
including in the subject line "Rejection of Arbitration Provision."
Without waiving the foregoing arbitration agreement, this Agreement and its provisions
shall be construed, interpreted, governed, and applied in accordance with the laws of
the State of California, excluding its conflict of law principles.
