You are responsible to independently research and verify the accuracy of any and all statements found on TodayWeBuy.com prior to making any financial decisions based on such posts, such as buying a home.

Posts written by OpenHouseOn.com LLC staff on TodayWeBuy.com are for informational purposes only and their accuracy cannot be guaranteed. You are responsible to independently research and verify any and all statements made in posts written by OpenHouseOn.com LLC staff prior to making any financial decisions, such as buying a home.

OpenHouseOn.com LLC is not responsible for any financial loss which you may experience by using our website and/or making decisions based on any and all posts found on our websites.

OpenHouseOn.com LLC may remove any and all TodayWeBuy posts or replies posted by you at any time, for any reason, and without notice to you.

On an ongoing basis, OpenHouseOn.com LLC will remove older TodayWeBuy posts and replies at any time, for any reason, and without notice to you to maintain and reduce the overall size of the data stored on TodayWeBuy.

13. Let Agents Compete. The Let Agents Compete program allows buyers and sellers to ask OpenHouseOn.com LLC to request proposals from its members to offer potential rebates to buyers and/or sellers as part of any escrow instructions.

Agents are not required to participate in this program. Buyers and sellers may not receive any proposals, even if they request such a proposal, as part of this program. Those agents who do participate can provide any rebate amount they feel comfortable in offering to the buyer or seller.

If the buyer or seller accepts an agent's proposal, the buyer will sign the agreement prepared by OpenHouseOn.com LLC first. Then the agent will sign and be provided the buyer's name and contact information. If the buyer or seller enter escrow for a property using the agent within nine (9) months of the agent's signed agreement date, escrow instructions will rebate the buyer or seller with the stated rebate amount as noted in the signed contract and will provide OpenHouseOn.com LLC with 5% of the agent's commission fee at the close of escrow for its services. If a dual agent represents both the buyer and seller, the escrow instructions will provide OpenHouseOn.com LLC with 5% of the total commission at the close of escrow.

All Let Agents Compete contracts between agents, buyers and/or sellers, and OpenHouseOn.com LLC terminate nine (9) months after the agent's signed agreement date and where escrow for a property has not yet been opened. Escrow is opened when the agent receives an escrow number from the escrow officier.

It is the legal responsibility of the agent to ensure instructions are provided to the escrow office to rebate the buyer and/or seller as agreed to in the signed contract if and when a property enters escrow. Not providing instructions to the escrow office will make the agent legally liable to their buyer and/or seller and to OpenHouseOn.com LLC. OpenHouseOn.com LLC is not liable to the buyer or seller if an agent does not provide instructions to the escrow office as it is the agent's responsibility to do so.

If the agent no longer represents the buyer or seller as found in the final escrow instructions for a property at the close of escrow, the buyer and/or seller will not receive any rebate from the agent and OpenHouseOn.com LLC will not receive its 5% fee.

Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to a Let Agents Compete contract, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial [or other] Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Arbitration is mandatory and binding, where the parties waive their rights to access the courts which includes having a judge or jury decide the case. In addition, agents, buyers, and sellers waive their right to bring a class action claim against OpenHouseOn.com LLC.

14. Governing Law. With the exception of using arbitration to resolve any Let Agents Compete program disputes (as described above), this Agreement shall be construed, interpreted, and governed in accordance with the laws of California. You agree to submit to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts sitting in Ventura County, California, for any and all disputes, claims, or actions arising from or in connection with the Website and/or this Agreement. In any dispute arising under this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to attorneys' fees and expenses.
