(b) These Terms & Conditions, along with the Seller Appointment Hub general Terms of Use and Terms and Conditions, as modified from time to time, the Seller Appointment Hub Privacy Policy, the CCPA Policy, and any other policies and requirements published by the Company (collectively, the “Agreement”) comprise the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral.
(c) These Terms & Conditions prevails over any of Seller Appointment Hub’s general terms and conditions regardless of whether or when Customer has submitted its request for proposal, order, or such terms. Provision of services to Customer does not constitute acceptance of any of Customer’s terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these Terms & Conditions.
(d) The term “seller appointment” as used in these Terms & Conditions shall mean and refer to a scheduled phone appointment, online appointment, or in person appointment with a person or entity who has expressed interest in selling their property and may become a client or customer of Customer for purposes of representation when listing their real property for sale. Seller Appointment Hub cannot guarantee that any such seller appointment will utilize Customer’s services or agree to a listing presentation by Customer or any other desired outcome for Customer.
Services
Seller Appointment Hub shall provide the following seller lead services to Customer:
(a) Seller Appointment Hub shall provide the seller appointments to Customer as such seller appointments are screened and become available. The number of seller appointments provided by Seller Appointment Hub will fluctuate based on Seller Appointment Hub’s ability to provide the same. Customers will be billed the rate quoted to Customer by Seller Appointment Hub during engagement for each seller appointment as they are provided.
(b) Such seller appointments provided to Customer pursuant to these Terms & Conditions shall have been contacted by Seller Appointment Hub prior to being provided to Customer. All such contact shall be sent on behalf of the Customer, and may include, without limitation, contact to book appointments.
(c) Customer shall pay Seller Appointment Hub an initial non-refundable setup fee in the amount quoted to Customer by Seller Appointment Hub during engagement.
Verified Seller Leads (VSL)
Verified Seller Leads (VSL) is a lead product offered by Seller Appointment Hub that provides clients with key data points related to property owners who have indicated potential interest in selling. Each Verified Seller Lead includes the following four data elements:
(a)Seller Name
(b)Seller Phone Number
(c)Seller Email Address
(d)Property Address
In addition to the contact information above, each VSL lead is delivered with a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to support lead engagement efforts.
Replacement Policy for Verified Seller Leads (VSL)
Seller Appointment Hub guarantees the accuracy of the data provided for each VSL lead to the best of our ability. A lead may be eligible for replacement only if one or more of the following four data points are found to be inaccurate:
(a)The seller's name is incorrect or not associated with the property.
(b)The phone number is invalid or not associated with the seller.
(c)The email address is non-functional or clearly incorrect.
(d)The property address is invalid or not associated with a potential seller.
To request a replacement, the client must notify Seller Appointment Hub in writing within 5 business days of receiving the lead and must provide reasonable evidence of the inaccuracy. Leads that are otherwise accurate but do not result in successful contact or interest from the seller are not eligible for replacement.
No other criteria—including the seller's level of interest, availability, or willingness to engage—qualify a lead for replacement.
