Buying a house, especially for the first time, can be very overwhelming. Shawn made everything very easy and took the time to answer all of my questions - of which there were a lot. I highly recommend the Mike Morrison team. They also have a great closing process to make sure you get your keys sooner.

5. Authorization to Retrieve and Use Information You Provide

Submitted Information. By providing information about yourself, including CANDID Account Credentials and third-party account credentials such as usernames, passwords, PINs, and other log-in information (“Submitted Information"), you are licensing such Submitted Information to CANDID and our agents for the purpose of providing the Platform. You represent that you are entitled to provide the Submitted Information to CANDID to use for the purpose of providing the Platform, without any obligation by CANDID to pay any fees or be subject to any restrictions or limitations. You hereby authorize and permit CANDID to use and store the Submitted Information for the purpose of providing the Platform, including configuring the Platform to be compatible with third-party websites that enable CANDID to provide the Platform. CANDID will store the Submitted Information in encrypted form, and will use the Submitted Information in accordance with these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

Account Information. Where available, for the purpose of completing your application, CANDID and our agents may access and retrieve, or enable you to initiate access to and retrieval of, account information and other data and documents (“Account Information”) from online accounts at third parties, including financial institutions, investing platforms, payroll providers, and tax preparation platforms, among others, in accordance with our Privacy Policy. This information may also include credit documentation and other information for verifying and/or re-verifying your assets, income, and employment. When available, Account Information may be prepopulated in the Platform. Please note that when displayed through the Services, Account Information does not represent an official record of your account with third parties. Account Information is only as recent as the time shown, and CANDID does not have an obligation to keep such data up-to-date at all times. Account Information may be more up-to-date when obtained directly from the relevant third-party sites. CANDID may also store Account Information and use the Submitted Information to update and maintain Account Information for future use.

As part of the Platform, we also transmit Submitted Information and Account Information to your Financial Services Provider, relevant parties specifically authorized to receive the information on behalf of the Financial Services Provider, and potentially your Financial Services Providers' successors-in-interest. By using the Platform, you expressly authorize CANDID and our agents to access, retrieve, and transmit Submitted Information and Account Information as part of the Platform, on your behalf, and as your agent.

As part of these Terms and solely for the purpose of providing the Platform, you grant CANDID and our agents a limited power of attorney, and appoint CANDID and our agents as your attorney-in-fact and agent, to access third-party websites, use Submitted Information you provide, and retrieve Account Information, with the full power and authority to do and perform each task necessary in connection with such activities as you could do in person. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WHEN CANDID AND OUR AGENTS ARE ACCESSING AND RETRIEVING ACCOUNT INFORMATION FROM THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES, CANDID AND OUR AGENTS ARE ACTING AS YOUR AGENT, AND NOT AS THE AGENT OF OR ON BEHALF OF THE THIRD PARTY THAT OPERATES THE THIRD-PARTY WEBSITE. CANDID cannot always foresee or anticipate technical or other difficulties that may result in failure to obtain data or in loss of data. Further, CANDID does not assume responsibility for the timeliness, accuracy, deletion, or non-delivery of, or failure to store, any data.

Right to Provide Submitted Information and Account Information. You represent and warrant to us that you have all rights to the Submitted Information and Account Information that you provide to us via the Platform. You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the Submitted Information and Account Information you provide. You, and not CANDID, are liable in the event that such Submitted Information and/or Account Information is not accurate or complete. You agree that you will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CANDID for all claims resulting from your unauthorized access to Submitted Information and Account Information, or for any inaccurate or incomplete Submitted Information and/or Account Information that you provide us. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of such disputes, and in any event you will cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses.

Feedback. Feedback you provide to us about your user experience with the Platform, by email or through other mediums, excluding personally identifiable consumer information, shall be deemed to be non-confidential, and we assume no obligation to protect such information from disclosure or provide compensation to you. The submission of such information to us shall in no way prevent the purchase, manufacture, or use of similar products, services, plans, and ideas by us for any purpose whatsoever, and we shall be free to reproduce, use, disclose, and distribute the information to others without restriction.

8. WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS

YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT:

WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING SUGGESTIONS OR RECOMMENDATIONS OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OFFERED OR PURCHASED THROUGH THE PLATFORM. PRODUCTS AND SERVICES OFFERED OR PURCHASED (WHETHER OR NOT FOLLOWING SUCH RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS) THROUGH THE PLATFORM ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND FROM CANDID OR OTHERS (UNLESS, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH OTHERS ONLY, PROVIDED EXPRESSLY AND UNAMBIGUOUSLY IN WRITING BY A DESIGNATED THIRD PARTY FOR A SPECIFIC PRODUCT OR SERVICE). THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT USE OF THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.

ANY CONTENT DOWNLOADED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE PLATFORM IS DOWNLOADED AND USED AT YOUR SOLE DISCRETION AND RISK, AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM, MOBILE DEVICE, SOFTWARE, TECHNOLOGY, OR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM THE DOWNLOAD OR USE OF ANY SUCH CONTENT.

NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM CANDID OR THROUGH OR FROM THE PLATFORM SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY.

CANDID MAKES NO REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, GUARANTEE, OR PROMISE THAT THE PRODUCTS, SERVICES, OR PLATFORM WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR ACHIEVE ANY PARTICULAR RESULTS. DECISIONS MADE BY FINANCIAL SERVICES PROVIDERS AND OTHERS AS A RESULT OF THE INFORMATION COMPILED FROM AND ABOUT YOU THROUGH THE PLATFORM ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF SUCH FINANCIAL SERVICES PROVIDERS AND OTHERS, AND ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SUCH FINANCIAL SERVICES PROVIDERS AND OTHERS.

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TORT, CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) SHALL CANDID BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON FOR (A) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, ACCURACY OF RESULTS, OR COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION; (B) THE DECISIONS MADE BY FINANCIAL SERVICES PROVIDERS AND OTHERS AS A RESULT OF THE INFORMATION COMPILED FROM AND ABOUT YOU THROUGH THE PLATFORM; OR, (C) ANY AMOUNT, IN THE AGGREGATE, IN EXCESS OF THE GREATER OF (I) $100 OR (II) THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO CANDID IN CONNECTION WITH THE PLATFORM IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THIS APPLICABLE CLAIM.

You release CANDID, and our officers, employees, agents, and successors from claims, demands, and damages of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way relating to such disputes and/or the Platform. If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor." This release includes the criminal acts of others.

10. Exclusions and Limitations

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages such as above in Sections 8 and 9. Accordingly, some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

CANDID has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, accuracy, privacy policies, or practices of, or opinions expressed in, any third-party websites or by any third party that you interact with through the Platform. In addition, CANDID will not and cannot monitor, verify, censor, or edit the content of any third-party website or service. By using the Platform, you release and hold us harmless from any and all liability arising from your use of any third-party website or service, and you acknowledge and agree that the terms and privacy policies of such third parties govern your interactions with and use of such websites and services.

13. Modification and Termination

Modification of Platform. CANDID reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Platform (or any part thereof), with or without notice. You agree that CANDID shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Platform

Termination. These Terms are effective unless and until terminated by you or us. We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, deny you access to all or part of the Platform at any time for any or no reason at all, with or without notice to you. Grounds for such termination shall include, but not be limited to, (a) breaches or violations of these Terms or other agreements, (b) requests by law enforcement or government agencies, (c) discontinuance or material modification of the Platform (or any part thereof), (d) unexpected technical or security issues or problems, (e) extended periods of inactivity, (f) activities related to protecting the rights, property, or safety of CANDID, our agents and affiliates, or our users and the public, or (g) if you provide any information, including CANDID Account Credentials or Submitted Information, that is false, inaccurate, out-of-date, or incomplete. If we terminate your right to access the Platform, these Term will terminate and all rights you have to access the Platform will immediately terminate; however, certain provisions of these Terms will still apply post-termination, including without limitation, the “Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver” provisions. Termination of your Platform account may also include, at CANDID's sole discretion, the deletion of your Platform account and/or content.

14. MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

Application. You and CANDID agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions. This Section 15 is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between us including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory; claims that arose before these Terms or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims related to advertising); and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms. The only disputes excluded from this broad prohibition are the litigation of certain intellectual property and small court claims, as provided below.

Initial Dispute Resolution. Most disputes can be resolved without resort to arbitration. If you have any dispute with us, you agree that before taking any formal action, you will contact us at info@candid.inc, and provide a brief written description of the dispute and your contact information (including your username, if your dispute relates to a Platform account). Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with each other, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

Binding Arbitration. If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the “Initial Dispute Resolution” provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, (except as provided in section 15.7 below) subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including the Terms' formation, performance, and breach), the parties' relationship with each other, and/or your use of CANDID shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions.

Arbitrator's Powers. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator's award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, CANDID will pay the additional cost. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, CANDID will pay the fees invoiced by JAMS, including filing fees and arbitrator and hearing expenses. You are responsible for your own attorneys' fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court. Arbitration may take place in the county where you reside at the time of filing, unless you and we both agree to another location or telephonic arbitration.

Class Action Waiver. The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in the party's respective individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND CANDID AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason, or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

Exception: Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations, or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights ("intellectual property rights" means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction.

30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to at info@candid.inc with the subject line, "ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT." The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of Platform account creation. Otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, CANDID also will not be bound by them.

Changes to This Section. CANDID will provide thirty (30) days' notice of any changes to this section by posting on the Platform. Amendments will become effective thirty (30) days after they are posted on the Platform or sent to you by email. Changes to this section will otherwise apply prospectively only to claims arising after the thirtieth (30th) day. If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection on "Changes to This Section" is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection shall be severed from the section entitled “Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver”, and the court or arbitrator shall apply the first “Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver” section in existence after you began using the Platform.

Survival. This “Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver” section shall survive any termination of your use of the Platform.

15. Controlling Law and Severability

These Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. For all purposes of these Terms, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state or federal courts located in, respectively, San Francisco County, California, or the Northern District of California. If any part of these Terms is considered invalid, it shall be enforced as effectively as possible while all other provisions remain in full effect.

16. General Terms

Force Majeure. Under no circumstances shall CANDID or our licensors or suppliers be held liable for any delay or failure in performance resulting directly or indirectly from an event beyond our reasonable control.

No Waiver; Severability. No waiver of any term of these Terms will be binding unless in writing. No waiver of any term of these Terms will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and the failure of CANDID to exercise or enforce any right or remedy in these Terms does not waive that right or remedy. If an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms to be invalid, the parties agree that the court should endeavor to give effect, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

Third-Party Beneficiaries. You agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms.

Statute of Limitations. Except for residents of New Jersey, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the use of the Platform and/or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

Miscellaneous. These Terms (and all terms and conditions incorporated herein) constitute the entire agreement between you and CANDID and govern your use of the Platform, products, and services provided by CANDID, and supersede any prior agreements between you and CANDID on the subject matter. These Terms, and any rights or licenses granted hereunder, may not be assigned or delegated by you. These Terms, and any rights or licenses granted hereunder, may be assigned or delegated by CANDID without restriction. These Terms bind and inure to the benefit of each party and the party's successors and permitted assigns. These Terms may not be modified by an oral statement by a representative of CANDID. No agency, partnership, joint venture or employee-employer relationship is intended or created by these Terms. You agree that any agreements made by and between you and us in electronic form are as legally binding as if made in physical written form. These Terms will not be construed against the drafter. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.

Notices. We may deliver notice to you by email, posting a notice on the Platform, or any other method we choose and such notice will be effective on dispatch. If you give notice to us, it will be effective when received and you must use the following email address: info@candid.inc
