Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement (“Agreement”) between you and CoreMark Homes (as defined below) governing your access to and use of the CoreMark Homes website, including any subdomains thereof, and any other websites through which CoreMark Homes makes the Services available (collectively, “Site”), our mobile, tablet and other smart device applications, and application program interfaces (collectively, “Application”) and all associated services (collectively, “Services”). The Site, Application and Services together are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Site.”
Please read these Terms of Service carefully as they contain important information about your legal rights, remedies and obligations. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms.
When these Terms mention “CoreMark Homes,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” it refers to the CoreMark Homes, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the company you are contracting with in this Agreement.
While CoreMark Homes makes every effort to vet investment opportunities we display on our website, we can’t guarantee the condition of the property, the truth or accuracy of any third-party valuations, reports, or statements, or that any particular property represents a sound or advisable investment opportunity. All real estate investments are susceptible to substantial risks, including local, state, and national market conditions, environmental hazards and disasters, undisclosed or unknown property conditions, zoning or land use changes, the availability of credit, and other risks of loss. Real estate investors who purchase the right to acquire real property from CoreMark Homes assume the entire risk of their investment, and are advised to independently investigate and verify the truth, completeness, and accuracy of all information regarding the property.
CoreMark Homes provides customers with the opportunity to purchase distressed real property assets on its web platform and through its network (the “Assets”), which Assets CoreMark Homes has spent considerable resources to locate and make available for purchase. Therefore, Customer agrees not to contact, directly or indirectly, the owner of any Asset (or any agent or representative thereof) for a period of one year following the date when (i) the asset is listed for sale on CoreMark Homes’s website; or (ii) CoreMark Homes otherwise informs the Customer of the Asset’s availability for purchase, whichever is later.
To ensure a timely and efficient closing, CoreMark Homes uses certain preferred settlement service providers. In the event that Customer obtains the right to purchase an Asset, the Asset’s purchase and sale agreement (“PSA”) and CoreMark Homes’s assignment of that agreement will identify these service providers and require that Customer use them to facilitate the close of escrow. These service providers may include, but are not limited to, escrow, title, property insurance, bridge or rental mortgage loan and resale brokerage. The fees charged by these service providers will be disclosed on or before the close of escrow. Customer hereby assumes the obligation to investigate the fees charged by any service provider identified in the PSA or assignment agreement before agreeing to assume CoreMark Homes’s obligations under the PSA.
Customer agrees and acknowledges that CoreMark Homes is acting on its own behalf, and is not acting as Customer’s agent or broker in connection with the sale of an Asset, the assignment of a PSA from CoreMark Homes to Customer, or in the brokering or arranging of any mortgage loan to Customer to facilitate the acquisition of an Asset. CoreMark Homes does not have and will not be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with or fiduciary obligations to Customer as a result of the transactions described herein. Customer agrees and acknowledges Customer has not relied on any advice from CoreMark Homes (whether legal or professional) and has sought Customer’s own legal and professional advice before agreeing to these Terms.
Customer represents and warrants that it is in the business of investing in residential real estate, and that Customer has no intention to occupy any Asset acquired.

7. Disclaimers
If you choose to use the Site or Collective Content, you do so voluntarily and at your sole risk. The Site and Collective Content is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind, either express or implied.
You agree that you have had whatever opportunity you deem necessary to investigate the Services, laws, rules, or regulations that may be applicable to your use of the Site and that you are not relying upon any statement of law or fact made by CoreMark Homes relating to such use.
The foregoing disclaimers apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. You may have other statutory rights. However, the duration of statutorily required warranties, if any, shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
8. Liability
You acknowledge and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the Site and Collective Content, your publishing or viewing of any content via the Site or any other interaction you have with other Users whether in person or online remains with you. Neither CoreMark Homes, its officers, directors, employees and agents, nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the Site or Collective Content will be liable for any incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of data or loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure or the cost of substitute products or services, or for any damages for personal or bodily injury or emotional distress arising out of or in connection with (i) these Terms, (ii) from the use of or inability to use the Site or Collective Content, or (iii) from any communications, interactions or meetings with other Users or other persons with whom you communicate, interact or meet with as a result of your use of the Site, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not CoreMark Homes has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose. In no event will CoreMark Homes’s aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms and your use of the Site, or from the use of or inability to use the Site or Collective Content and in connection therewith, exceed the amounts you have paid or owe for use of the Site in the twelve (12) month period prior to the event giving rise to the liability, or one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100), if no such payments have been made, as applicable. The limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between CoreMark Homes and you. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
9. Indemnification
You agree to release, defend (at CoreMark Homes’s option), indemnify, and hold CoreMark Homes and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and their officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with (i) your breach of these Terms, (ii) your improper use of the Site or any Services, (iii) your interaction with any User, including without limitation any injuries, losses or damages (whether compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of such interaction or use, or (iv) your breach of any laws, regulations or third party rights.
10. Legal
10.1 This Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement shall apply if you (i) reside in the United States; or (ii) do not reside in the United States, but bring any claim against CoreMark Homes in the United States (to the extent not in conflict with Section 14).
10.2 Overview of Dispute Resolution Process. CoreMark Homes is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process. To that end, these Terms provide for a two-part process for individuals to whom Section 10.1 applies: (1) an informal negotiation directly with CoreMark Homes’s customer service team, and (2) a binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) using its specially designed Consumer Arbitration Rules (as modified by this Section 10). Specifically, the process provides:
Claims can be filed with AAA online (www.adr.org);
Arbitrators must be neutral and no party may unilaterally select an arbitrator;
Arbitrators must disclose any bias, interest in the result of the arbitration, or relationship with any party;
Parties retain the right to seek relief in small claims court for certain claims, at their option;
The initial filing fee for the consumer is capped at $200;
The consumer gets to elect the hearing location and can elect to participate live, by phone, video conference, or, for claims under $25,000, by the submission of documents;
The arbitrator can grant any remedy that the parties could have received in court to resolve the party’s individual claim.
10.3 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. Prior to initiating an arbitration, you and CoreMark Homes each agree to notify the other party of the dispute and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first. We will contact you at the email address you have provided to us; you can contact CoreMark Homes’s customer service team by emailing us at the contact addresses provided on the Site. If after a good faith effort to negotiate one of us feels the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration. In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed with the AAA and the written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) provided to the other party, as specified in the AAA Rules.
10.4 AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE. YOU AND CoreMark Homes MUTUALLY AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION, ENFORCEMENT OR INTERPRETATION THEREOF, OR TO THE USE OF THE SITE, ANY CoreMark Homes SERVICE OR THE COLLECTIVE CONTENT (COLLECTIVELY, “DISPUTES”) WILL BE SETTLED BY BINDING ARBITRATION (THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”). IF THERE IS A DISPUTE ABOUT WHETHER THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT CAN BE ENFORCED OR APPLIES TO OUR DISPUTE, YOU AND CoreMark Homes AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR WILL DECIDE THAT ISSUE.
10.5 Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. You and CoreMark Homes each agree that the following claims are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) Any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) Any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack).
10.6 Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by AAA in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules“) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1–800–778–7879.
10.7 Modification to AAA Rules – Arbitration Hearing/Location. In order to make the arbitration most convenient to you, CoreMark Homes agrees that any required arbitration hearing may be conducted, at your option, (a) in the county where you reside; (b) in San Francisco County; (c) in any other location to which you and CoreMark Homes both agree; (d) via phone or video conference; or (e) for any claim or counterclaim under $25,000, by solely the submission of documents to the arbitrator.
10.8 Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.
10.9 JURY TRIAL WAIVER. YOU AND CoreMark Homes ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ALL ARBITRABLE DISPUTES.
10.10 NO CLASS ACTIONS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDINGS. YOU AND CoreMark Homes ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS USER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL ACTION, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING AS TO ALL DISPUTES. FURTHER, UNLESS YOU AND CoreMark Homes BOTH OTHERWISE AGREE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. IF THIS PARAGRAPH IS HELD UNENFORCEABLE WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE, THEN THE ENTIRETY OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WILL BE DEEMED VOID WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DISPUTE.
10.11 Severability. Except as provided in Section 10.10, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect.
10.12 Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 (“Modification of These Terms”), if CoreMark Homes changes this Section 10 (“Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement”) after the date you last accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email) within thirty (30) days of the date such change became effective. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and CoreMark Homes in accordance with the provisions of the “Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement” section as of the date you last accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
10.13 Survival. Except as provided in Section 10.10, this Section 10 will survive any termination of these Terms and will continue to apply even if you stop using the Site or terminate your CoreMark Homes account.
11. Feedback
11.1 We welcome and encourage you to provide feedback, comments and suggestions for improvements to the Site (“Feedback“). You may submit Feedback by emailing us, through the Contact section of the Site, or by other means of communication.

12. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction
12.1 If you reside in the United States, these Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California and the United States of America, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions. Judicial proceedings (other than small claims actions) that are excluded from the Arbitration Agreement in Section 10 must be brought in state or federal court in San Francisco, California, unless we both agree to some other location. You and we both consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in San Francisco, California.
13. Telephone Contract and Recording Policy
13.1 By providing us with a telephone number for a mobile device, including a number that you later convert to a mobile device number, you are expressly consenting to receiving communications—including but not limited to prerecorded or artificial voice message calls, text messages, and calls made by an automatic telephone dialing system—from us and our affiliates and agents at that number, about any product or services offered by CoreMark Homes. This express consent applies to each such telephone number that you provide to us now or in the future. Calls and messages may incur access fees from your mobile services provider. You understand that you need not provide this consent as a condition of obtaining goods or services from CoreMark Homes, and that you may decline to provide or revoke your consent at any time by emailing support@coremarkhomes.com or by any other method that reasonably ensures we receive your revocation.
13.2 By providing us with a telephone number, you agree that CoreMark Homes may record any telephone conversation with you (or any another individual) during any telephone call to or from that number for training purposes, whether or not the call was initiated by you, and whether or CoreMark Homes disclosed the fact that the call was recorded during the call.
14.1 Except as they may be supplemented by additional terms and conditions (such as the CoreMark Homes Privacy Policy), customer agreements (such as the CoreMark Homes “Price Guarantee” and “Cash Advance” agreements, as those product offerings are outlined elsewhere on the Site), policies, guidelines or standards, these Terms constitute the entire Agreement between CoreMark Homes and you pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between CoreMark Homes and you in relation to the access to and use of the Site.
14.2 No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and CoreMark Homes as a result of this Agreement or your use of the Site.
14.3 These Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties.
14.4 If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be struck and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
14.5 CoreMark Homes’s failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by us in writing. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise permitted under law.
14.6 You may not assign, transfer or delegate this Agreement and your rights and obligations hereunder without CoreMark Homes’s prior written consent.
