SECURITY POLICY
LendingTree uses extensive and sophisticated secure technology to protect your data and transmissions between you, LendingTree, and real estate professionals participating in this Web site (the "real estate professionals"). Here are the highlights:

Transmission between browsers and our web server is implemented using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. This technology requires a SSL-capable browser such as MS Internet Explorer 3.0 (or later) or Netscape Navigator 2.0 (or later).

Transmissions between LendingTree and real estate professionals are encrypted using public key cryptography algorithms with a minimum key size of 128 bits. Our database is physically separated from our web server and is protected by a physical firewall.

REALTY SERVICES
LendingTree, LLC is a Delaware limited liability company formerly known as LendingTree, Inc. with its corporate headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina. Real estate programs are administered by LendingTree, a licensed real estate broker. The programs may be available on modified terms, or may be prohibited, in certain jurisdictions. The programs may vary by region or state. Other restrictions may apply.

All of the information you have provided in your referral form is true and complete. You authorize LendingTree to forward your information to its network of real estate professionals. You further understand and agree that by selecting a real estate company or professional, you are extending an express invitation for them to contact you by telephone at the numbers you have provided, and you hereby consent to any such calls even if your phone number is on the Do Not Call list. In addition, by completing and submitting a request for more information regarding a real estate listing or requesting contact with a real estate professional, you understand and agree that you are extending an express invitation to real estate professionals to call you by telephone at the numbers you have provided, and you hereby consent to any such calls even if your phone number is on the Do Not Call list. You understand that these real estate professionals may keep the information you submit whether or not you communicate with them regarding a real estate listing and whether or not you complete a real estate transaction with them. Real estate programs are administered by LendingTree, a licensed real estate broker.

In certain geographic areas, LendingTree lists and sells homes. However, in connection with its Find a REALTOR® program, LendingTree does not list or sell homes. Instead, real estate brokerage activities are performed by local licensed real estate brokers. In connection with its Find a REALTOR® program, LendingTree acts as a referring broker by referring you to a local real estate broker, and for its services, LendingTree receives a real estate brokerage referral fee of up to 35% of the local broker’s commission. Your use of this Web site and/or LendingTree’s services constitutes your agreement with this compensation arrangement. Cash, gift certificates, points or mileage incentives are only available to customers who use a LendingTree Network real estate professional to buy or sell their home. Customers must have been connected with the real estate professional through LendingTree’s Find a REALTOR® program to be eligible for incentives. Customers that are connected with a real estate professional by requesting more information about a listing, but who do not use LendingTree’s “Find a REALTOR®” service will not be eligible to receive any incentive. Certain states require that incentives be given as either a credit at closing or as a reduction of your real estate commission. The programs may be available on modified terms, or may be prohibited, in certain jurisdictions. Other restrictions may apply.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the use of this Web site, to the goods or services provided by LendingTree, or to any acts or omissions for which you may contend LendingTree is liable, including but not limited to any claim or controversy as to arbitrability ("Dispute"), shall be finally, and exclusively, settled by arbitration. The arbitration shall be held before one arbitrator under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in force at that time. The arbitration shall be venued in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina except for Maine consumers for whom the location shall be a place reasonably convenient to the consumer. The arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the AAA rules. Should no AAA rule regarding the selection of an arbitrator be in effect, the consumer shall select an arbitrator from a panel of arbitrators acceptable to LendingTree. In any arbitration, LendingTree will pay the filing fee, plus the costs associated with the first day of arbitration, with the remaining costs of arbitration paid by the non-prevailing party, provided, however, that in Maine any cost to the consumer shall be limited to the cost of filing a court case. To begin the arbitration process, a party must make a written demand therefor.

Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. The arbitrators shall not have the power to award damages in connection with any Dispute in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, and each party irrevocably waives any claim thereto, except in Maine where state law will control all rights and remedies in the arbitration. The agreement to arbitrate shall not be construed as an agreement to the joinder or consolidation of an arbitration under this agreement with an arbitration of disputes or claims of any non-party, regardless of the nature of the issues or disputes involved.

THIS AGREEMENT PROVIDES THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LENDINGTREE WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU THUS GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS. YOU ALSO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN OR BRING CLASS ACTIONS. YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE DETERMINED BY NEUTRAL ARBITRATORS AND NOT A JUDGE OR JURY. You are entitled to a fair hearing, but the arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court. Arbitrator decisions are enforceable as any court order and are subject to very limited review by a court. By using LendingTree's goods and services you consent to these restrictions.

Should a Dispute arise and should the arbitration provisions herein become inapplicable or unenforceable, or in any instance of any lawsuit between you and LendingTree, the parties agree that jurisdiction over and venue of any suit shall be exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. If either party employs attorneys to enforce any right in connection with any Dispute or lawsuit the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees.

OTHER TERMS
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and LendingTree and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications, promises and proposals, whether oral, written or electronic, between you and LendingTree with respect to this Web site and information, software, products and services associated with it. This Agreement shall be subject to and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina, excluding its conflict of laws principles. If any part of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision, and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in effect. A printed version of this Agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.
