Terms and Conditions
Effective Date: October 6, 2026
Last Updated: October 6, 2026
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of northdakotafirehousebuyer.com (the “Website”) and services offered through the Website by North Dakota Fire House Buyer (“North Dakota Fire House Buyer,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
By accessing the Website, submitting property information, requesting a cash offer, or otherwise interacting with our services, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy.
1. Purpose of the Website
The Website allows homeowners, property owners, and authorized representatives to submit information concerning real estate they may wish to sell, including:
- Fire-damaged property;
- Smoke-damaged property;
- Water-damaged property;
- Structurally damaged property;
- Distressed property;
- Vacant property;
- Inherited property;
- Probate or estate property;
- Property facing foreclosure;
- Property subject to liens;
- Property requiring substantial repairs; and
- Other residential or investment property.
Depending on the property and transaction, we may:
- Evaluate the property ourselves;
- Purchase or seek to purchase it;
- Facilitate a possible cash offer;
- Connect the seller with a local cash buyer;
- Refer or route the opportunity to another investor;
- Work with licensed real estate professionals where legally required;
- Enter into a purchase agreement;
- Acquire contractual or equitable rights;
- Assign contractual rights where legally and contractually permitted; or
- Determine that neither we nor another prospective purchaser is interested.
Nothing displayed on the Website constitutes a binding offer to purchase real estate.
2. Our Role
North Dakota Fire House Buyer operates within the real estate investment, cash-buyer, property-acquisition, marketing, referral, and lead-generation marketplace.
Depending on the transaction, we may act as:
- A prospective principal purchaser;
- A real estate investor;
- A property-acquisition business;
- A lead-generation service;
- A service connecting property owners with prospective purchasers;
- A contract purchaser;
- A holder of contractual or equitable rights;
- An affiliate or partner of another purchaser; or
- A combination of these roles.
Our actual role depends on the facts and written transaction documents.
Unless separately and lawfully established, we do not act as your:
- Real estate broker;
- Seller’s real estate agent;
- Attorney;
- Accountant;
- Tax adviser;
- Financial adviser;
- Insurance adviser;
- Public adjuster;
- Contractor;
- Engineer;
- Appraiser;
- Fiduciary;
- Housing counselor;
- Mortgage broker;
- Mortgage lender;
- Mortgage servicer;
- Debt-settlement provider;
- Loan-modification provider;
- Foreclosure consultant; or
- Other professional adviser.
3. Lead Generation and Buyer Matching
The Website expressly connects some property owners with independent local cash buyers.
After reviewing your information, we may introduce or route the property opportunity to one or more prospective purchasers.
Independent purchasers may:
- Research the property;
- Contact you;
- Evaluate condition;
- Estimate repairs;
- Determine their own offer;
- Conduct due diligence;
- Negotiate terms; and
- Enter a transaction directly with you.
Independent purchasers are responsible for their own:
- Statements;
- Representations;
- Offers;
- Valuations;
- Contracts;
- Financing;
- Licensing obligations;
- Privacy practices;
- Performance; and
- Compliance with law.
4. No Obligation to Sell
Submitting information or requesting an offer does not obligate you to sell.
A Website submission is an inquiry and is not a purchase agreement.
You may reject a proposed offer unless and until you sign an enforceable agreement providing otherwise.
5. No Obligation to Purchase
Submitting property information does not require North Dakota Fire House Buyer or another prospective purchaser to:
- Evaluate the property;
- Make an offer;
- Maintain an offer;
- Continue negotiations;
- Purchase the property; or
- Complete a transaction.
6. Eligibility and Authority
By using the Website or submitting property information, you represent that:
- You are at least 18 years old;
- You possess legal capacity to contract;
- Information you provide is materially accurate to the best of your knowledge;
- You own the property, hold an ownership interest, or are authorized to communicate concerning it; and
- Your use complies with applicable law.
Submission by one co-owner does not establish authority to bind all owners.
7. Property Information and Research
We may request or obtain information concerning:
- Property address;
- Property condition;
- Fire damage;
- Smoke damage;
- Water damage;
- Structural damage;
- Electrical and plumbing condition;
- Roof and foundation condition;
- Heating and cooling systems;
- Water and sewer systems;
- Occupancy;
- Repairs;
- Permits;
- Insurance claims;
- Radon;
- Desired sale timeline;
- Ownership;
- Mortgages;
- Liens;
- Special assessments;
- Property taxes;
- Probate;
- Foreclosure;
- Inheritance; and
- Other matters relevant to evaluating a potential transaction.
You authorize us and prospective purchasers to research the property through lawful public and commercial sources.
8. Preliminary Offers
Any preliminary:
- Cash offer;
- Estimated offer;
- Property valuation;
- Price range;
- Repair estimate; or
- Similar indication of value
is non-binding unless incorporated into an enforceable written transaction agreement.
A preliminary offer may change following due diligence.
9. Illustrative Offer Formula
The Website may describe an offer methodology substantially similar to:
Potential Offer = After-Repair Value – Repair Costs – Selling Costs – Investor Return
This is illustrative.
Actual assumptions may vary concerning:
- Property value;
- Repairs;
- Holding expenses;
- Property taxes;
- Insurance;
- Utilities;
- Closing expenses;
- Resale expenses;
- Market conditions;
- Risk; and
- Investment return.
No particular offer amount is guaranteed.
10. Binding Transactions
A binding real estate transaction arises only after the applicable parties execute legally enforceable transaction documents.
A transaction may depend on:
- Ownership verification;
- Authority to sell;
- Title review;
- Property access;
- Due diligence;
- Mortgages;
- Liens;
- Taxes;
- Seller disclosures;
- Radon disclosures;
- Association disclosures;
- Probate or estate matters;
- Foreclosure status;
- Buyer funding;
- Closing requirements; and
- Other contractual or legal conditions.
11. North Dakota Residential Property Disclosure Law
North Dakota generally requires written disclosure in nonexempt owner sales, exchanges, or purchases of a North Dakota residential dwelling containing no more than four units.
The requirement is important for both:
- Brokerage-assisted transactions; and
- Direct owner-to-buyer transactions without a broker.
A cash or investor transaction is not automatically exempt.
12. Timing of Seller Disclosure
Except as otherwise provided in an offer to purchase agreement, the seller generally must make the required written disclosure available to the buyer before the parties sign final acceptance of the purchase agreement.
Fast closing does not eliminate this requirement.
13. Material Facts Standard
The seller’s written disclosure must include material facts the seller knows that could adversely and significantly affect:
- An ordinary buyer’s use and enjoyment of the property; or
- An intended use of the property of which the seller is aware.
The seller should make required disclosures in good faith and based on the seller’s knowledge.
14. Broker-Assisted Transactions
If a real estate broker, broker associate, or salesperson associated with a brokerage firm represents or assists a party, the seller generally must use:
- The disclosure form established by the North Dakota Real Estate Commission; or
- A substantially similar form.
The disclosure must address matters including:
- Latent defects;
- General condition;
- Environmental issues;
- Structural systems; and
- Mechanical systems.
15. Transactions Without a Real Estate Licensee
Where no licensed real estate professional represents or assists a party, a covered seller still generally must provide written disclosure of known material facts before final acceptance.
The seller may use the North Dakota Real Estate Commission’s form even where it is not mandatory for the unassisted transaction.
Direct sale to a cash investor therefore does not mean “no seller disclosure.”
16. Fire and Smoke Damage Are Expressly Covered by the Commission Form
The current North Dakota Real Estate Commission Seller’s Property Condition Disclosure specifically asks whether the property has been damaged by:
- Fire;
- Smoke;
- Wind;
- Flood;
- Hail;
- Snow;
- Frozen pipes; or
- Broken water lines.
A “yes” answer requires explanation.
Fire-damaged sellers should therefore accurately disclose known fire and smoke damage where the Commission form applies.
17. Insurance Damage Claims Are Also Addressed
The Commission form separately asks whether the seller has been paid for damage claims by insurance coverage.
The form also addresses:
- Water damage;
- Roof damage;
- Structural problems;
- Electrical systems;
- Heating;
- Fireplaces;
- Mold;
- Environmental conditions;
- Building permits; and
- Other matters potentially affected by a fire.
18. Correction of the Website’s Overbroad Fire-Disclosure Language
The Website currently says North Dakota sellers must disclose:
- The complete fire-damage history;
- All structural impacts;
- All smoke damage;
- All firefighting-water damage;
- All repairs;
- All unresolved issues;
- All insurance claims; and
- A substantial documentation package.
These Terms do not characterize every one of those items as a universal statutory requirement in every transaction.
North Dakota requires written disclosure of known material facts, and the Commission form expressly asks about fire, smoke, insurance damage claims, water damage, and related property conditions.
That does not mean every seller must automatically deliver every historical:
- Fire-department report;
- Insurance file;
- Contractor invoice;
- Photograph;
- Engineering report;
- Inspection report;
- Building permit; or
- Repair record.
Particular records may nevertheless be required by:
- The purchase agreement;
- Buyer due diligence;
- An insurer;
- A lender;
- A local government;
- A licensed real estate professional; or
- Another law.
19. No Universal Professional-Inspection Requirement
The Website recommends obtaining:
- Structural-engineer evaluations;
- Restoration-specialist inspections;
- Written damage reports;
- Repair estimates; and
- Other professional evaluations.
These can be prudent.
However, North Dakota’s seller-disclosure statute does not itself require every fire-damaged seller to commission every type of professional inspection before selling.
20. Seller Disclosure Is Not a Substitute for Buyer Due Diligence
The Commission’s disclosure form states that it is not:
- A warranty;
- A guarantee; or
- A substitute for an inspection.
A purchaser may independently verify seller information and obtain inspections or professional evaluations.
21. Seller Disclosure Exemptions
North Dakota’s general residential disclosure statute contains exemptions for specified transactions, including certain:
- Court-ordered transfers;
- Transfers between government agencies;
- Transfers by a mortgagor in default to a mortgagee;
- Foreclosure sales;
- Transfers by mortgagees or deed-of-trust beneficiaries following foreclosure or deed in lieu;
- Fiduciary transfers involving estates, guardianships, conservatorships, or trusts;
- Transfers between co-owners;
- Transfers to specified close family members; and
- Newly constructed residential property with no previous occupancy.
An exemption should not be assumed without examining the particular transaction.
22. North Dakota Radon Disclosure
Beginning August 1, 2025, North Dakota imposes additional radon disclosure requirements.
Before executing an agreement to sell or transfer residential real property, except as otherwise provided in an offer to execute a purchase agreement, the seller generally must:
- Disclose in writing any knowledge the seller has of radon concentrations;
- Provide the statutory radon warning statement; and
- Obtain the buyer’s signed acknowledgment.
23. Prior Radon Testing
If the seller knows that the property previously underwent radon testing, the seller generally must provide before the agreement:
- A copy of test results reasonably available to or in the seller’s possession; and
- Evidence of radon mitigation.
The statute does not itself create a radon contingency or rescission right unless such a right is an express contract term.
24. Homeowners-Association and Condominium Disclosures
North Dakota separately requires disclosures for property subject to the rules of a homeowners association or condominium project.
By a mutually agreed date or generally within 10 days after execution of the agreement, the seller must provide specified information concerning matters such as:
- Periodic assessments;
- Maintenance fees;
- Unpaid charges;
- Special assessments;
- Bylaws;
- Rules;
- Association documents;
- Meeting minutes;
- Reserve and capital funds; and
- Other information specified by law.
These obligations apply independently from fire-damage disclosure.
25. As-Is Transactions
The Website advertises purchases in “as-is” condition.
An as-is transaction may mean the buyer does not require the seller to make repairs.
“As-is” does not automatically eliminate:
- North Dakota’s written seller-disclosure requirements;
- Radon disclosure;
- HOA or condominium disclosure;
- Fraud or misrepresentation liability;
- Contractual representations;
- Federal disclosures;
- Title obligations;
- Real estate licensing requirements; or
- Other non-waivable legal duties.
26. No Universal Requirement to Repair a Fire-Damaged Property
North Dakota’s seller-disclosure law does not itself require every fire-damaged property to be completely restored before sale.
A damaged property may potentially be sold as-is.
Separate:
- Building codes;
- Unsafe-building orders;
- Permit requirements;
- Fire-safety requirements;
- Utility requirements;
- Insurance requirements; and
- Local ordinances
may affect the property.
27. Inspections and Due Diligence
The Website may advertise:
- No formal inspection;
- No repairs;
- No appraisal contingency;
- No financing contingency; or
- Similar streamlined terms.
These descriptions reflect possible transaction structures.
They do not:
- Eliminate seller disclosures;
- Prevent buyer due diligence permitted by contract;
- Authorize concealment or misrepresentation; or
- Override signed transaction documents.
28. Fast Closing and Similar Advertising Statements
The Website may advertise:
- A cash offer within approximately 24 hours;
- Closing in approximately 7 to 14 days;
- Flexible closing dates;
- No repairs;
- As-is purchases;
- No seller commissions;
- No seller fees;
- Buyer-paid closing costs;
- No formal inspection;
- No appraisal contingency; or
- No financing contingency.
These statements describe potential transaction structures.
They do not guarantee identical terms or timing for every seller.
Timing may depend on:
- Property condition;
- Ownership;
- Title;
- Mortgages;
- Liens;
- Taxes;
- Disclosure timing;
- Radon documentation;
- Association disclosures;
- Buyer availability;
- Due diligence;
- Probate;
- Foreclosure;
- Closing requirements; and
- Other circumstances.
29. Closing Costs, Fees, and Commissions
Where a purchaser agrees to:
- Pay specified closing costs;
- Purchase without a listing broker;
- Charge no seller commission;
- Charge no particular seller fee; or
- Pay specified title expenses,
the actual obligations of the parties are determined by the signed transaction documents and final settlement statement.
Website advertising does not override those documents.
30. North Dakota Real Estate Licensing
North Dakota’s broker definition is broad.
A broker generally includes a person who, for another and for compensation or expected compensation, performs or offers to perform activities including:
- Listing real estate;
- Selling;
- Purchasing;
- Leasing;
- Negotiating;
- Dealing in options;
- Advertising real estate activity;
- Procuring prospects;
- Referring prospects; and
- Publicly marketing certain equitable contract interests.
Even a single act or transaction may fall within the definition.
31. Public Marketing of Equitable Contract Interests Is Expressly Brokerage Activity
North Dakota specifically includes within the broker definition a person who:
Publicly markets for sale an equitable interest in a contract for the purchase of real property between a property owner and a prospective purchaser.
This provision is particularly important for residential wholesaling and assignment models.
32. Owner Exemption Does Not Protect Public Equitable-Interest Marketing for Consideration
North Dakota ordinarily provides an exemption for bona fide owners dealing with property actually owned by them.
However, the statute expressly provides that the exemption does not exempt, from the broker/salesperson definition, a person who for consideration publicly markets for sale an equitable interest in a purchase contract between the property owner and a prospective purchaser.
Accordingly, a wholesaler should not assume the ordinary owner exemption permits unlicensed public marketing of an assignable contract interest.
33. Lead Referrals and Procuring Prospects
North Dakota’s broker definition also specifically includes a person who:
- Assists or directs in procuring prospects; or
- Refers a prospect
where the activity is calculated to result in the sale, exchange, or leasing of real estate or an interest in real estate and the other statutory requirements are met.
Because this Website expressly says it connects property owners with local cash buyers, compensated lead-routing arrangements require careful licensing review.
34. Contract Assignments
A purchase agreement may be assignable depending on:
- The agreement’s language;
- Applicable contract law;
- Consent requirements;
- The nature of the transaction; and
- Real estate licensing requirements.
A private contractual right to assign should not be confused with permission to publicly market that equitable interest without a license.
35. Contractual or Equitable Interest Is Not Legal Title
Holding a purchase agreement, option, assignment right, or equitable interest is different from holding legal title.
A person holding only contractual rights should not falsely represent that:
- The person is the deed owner;
- The person owns legal title;
- Title already transferred;
- The underlying real estate belongs to the contract holder; or
- The person possesses rights greater than those granted by the contract.
36. Options
North Dakota’s broker definition expressly includes buying, selling, or otherwise dealing in options on real estate for another for compensation or expected compensation.
Option-based acquisition strategies therefore should be reviewed under the licensing statute rather than assumed to be categorically exempt.
37. Licensed Real Estate Professionals
Where a North Dakota real estate licensee participates in a regulated capacity, separate requirements can apply concerning:
- Brokerage relationships;
- Agency;
- Advertising;
- Offers;
- Compensation;
- Trust funds;
- Disclosure;
- Professional conduct; and
- Recordkeeping.
Applicable written brokerage documents and North Dakota Real Estate Commission rules control.
38. Foreclosure and Financial Distress
The Website markets to homeowners who may be:
- Behind on mortgage payments;
- Facing default;
- Facing foreclosure;
- Experiencing financial distress; or
- Seeking a rapid property sale.
We are not your:
- Mortgage lender;
- Mortgage servicer;
- Attorney;
- Financial adviser;
- Credit counselor;
- Housing counselor;
- Mortgage broker;
- Debt-settlement provider;
- Loan-modification provider; or
- Foreclosure-rescue provider
unless a separate legally compliant relationship expressly establishes otherwise.
Selling property may be one possible response to financial distress, but it is not necessarily the only option.
39. No Separate Comprehensive Foreclosure-Consultant Purchase Statute Identified
As of the effective date of these Terms, we do not rely on a separate North Dakota statute establishing the same foreclosure-consultant or equity-purchaser regime found in states such as Nebraska, New Mexico, or New Hampshire.
That does not mean foreclosure-related services are unregulated.
Depending on the activity, laws governing:
- Mortgage lenders;
- Mortgage originators;
- Mortgage servicers;
- Debt-settlement providers;
- Consumer fraud;
- Foreclosure procedure;
- Real estate brokerage; and
- Federal mortgage-assistance-relief services
may apply.
40. Ordinary Property Purchase Versus Mortgage Assistance
A bona fide arm’s-length purchase of a homeowner’s property is different from offering to:
- Modify the homeowner’s mortgage;
- Negotiate loan terms;
- Settle mortgage debt;
- Obtain forbearance;
- Receive money for distribution to creditors;
- Stop foreclosure as a paid service; or
- Act as the homeowner’s mortgage adviser.
Those services may implicate separate licensing and consumer-protection rules.
41. North Dakota Debt-Settlement Regulation
North Dakota separately regulates debt-settlement providers.
A business providing covered debt-settlement services for compensation is subject to statutory requirements and restrictions.
The law contains significant restrictions on representations concerning whether participation in a debt-management or settlement plan will prevent:
- Litigation;
- Garnishment;
- Attachment;
- Repossession;
- Foreclosure;
- Eviction; or
- Other consequences.
A direct buyer should not market a property purchase as a regulated debt-settlement service.
42. Mortgage Lending and Servicing
North Dakota separately regulates:
- Mortgage loan originators;
- Residential mortgage lenders; and
- Residential mortgage loan servicers.
A cash property purchase does not itself authorize the purchaser to conduct regulated mortgage lending, servicing, refinancing, or loan-modification activity.
43. Federal Mortgage-Assistance Rules
If an activity constitutes mortgage-assistance-relief services under federal law, applicable federal requirements control.
Those rules can regulate:
- Advance fees;
- Advertising claims;
- Required notices;
- Communications with lenders or servicers; and
- Consumer acceptance procedures.
44. No Foreclosure-Rescue Guarantees
Unless separately authorized and legally qualified, we do not represent that:
- We act for your lender;
- We act for your mortgage servicer;
- We act for the State of North Dakota or federal government;
- We guarantee foreclosure will stop;
- We guarantee a loan modification;
- We will negotiate your mortgage for you;
- We will settle your mortgage debt;
- You should stop communicating with your lender;
- You should stop making legally required payments; or
- Selling through us is your only available option.
45. Foreclosure Sale and Redemption Rights
North Dakota maintains specific statutes governing mortgage foreclosure and redemption.
A property owner facing foreclosure should not assume that:
- Requesting an offer;
- Signing a Website form;
- Negotiating with a prospective purchaser; or
- Signing a preliminary document
automatically delays or stops foreclosure deadlines.
Owners facing foreclosure should obtain advice concerning the actual foreclosure proceeding and any applicable redemption rights.
46. Probate, Estate, and Inherited Property
Submitting inherited, estate, trust, or probate property does not establish authority to sell.
A transaction may require:
- Personal-representative authority;
- Executor or administrator authority;
- Trustee authority;
- Court documentation;
- Participation of heirs or beneficiaries;
- Appropriate deeds;
- Affidavits; or
- Other evidence of authority.
Certain fiduciary transfers may qualify for statutory seller-disclosure exemptions.
47. Insurance Claims and Fire-Damage Proceeds
A fire-damaged property may involve an open or completed insurance claim.
We do not act as your:
- Insurance company;
- Insurance producer;
- Public adjuster;
- Insurance attorney; or
- Insurance adviser
unless separately established through a legally compliant arrangement.
You are responsible for understanding:
- Insurance coverage;
- Claim requirements;
- Proof-of-loss requirements;
- Claim deadlines;
- Insurance proceeds;
- Repair obligations;
- Mortgage-holder rights;
- Assignment restrictions;
- Recoverable depreciation;
- Policy conditions; and
- Tax consequences.
If property is sold while an insurance claim remains pending, the purchase agreement should address the parties’ respective rights concerning the claim and proceeds.
48. Insurance Claims Are Relevant to the Seller Disclosure Form
North Dakota’s current Real Estate Commission disclosure form expressly asks whether the seller has been paid for damage claims by insurance coverage.
A fire-related insurance payment may therefore be directly relevant to the statutory disclosure process when that form applies.
This does not mean every insurance document must automatically be delivered to the buyer.
49. Website Insurance and Restoration Guidance
The Website contains general educational content concerning:
- Insurance claims;
- Damage documentation;
- Restoration;
- Contractor estimates;
- Cleanup;
- Repair timing; and
- Temporary property protection.
That information is general only.
Property owners should follow:
- Their actual insurance policy;
- Insurer instructions;
- Fire-department instructions;
- Qualified professional advice;
- Applicable building requirements; and
- Applicable law.
50. Unsupported Website Cost and Timing Claims
The Website contains precise generalized claims concerning matters such as:
- Restoration costs;
- Repair timelines;
- Insurance-processing periods;
- Traditional-sale timing;
- Cash-sale timing; and
- Property-value outcomes.
Those figures are not legal requirements or guaranteed outcomes.
Any precise statistics or performance claims used in production advertising should be independently substantiated.
51. Permits, Building Codes, and Unsafe Structures
Fire-damaged property may be subject to:
- Building-code violations;
- Unsafe-building determinations;
- Condemnation;
- Building permits;
- Electrical permits;
- Repair requirements;
- Demolition requirements;
- Fire-code requirements;
- Utility restrictions;
- Environmental requirements; or
- Other state or local requirements.
Requirements vary among North Dakota cities and counties.
An as-is sale does not waive governmental requirements.
52. Telephone Communications
By providing a telephone number and requesting information or an offer, you authorize us to respond concerning:
- Your property;
- Property research;
- Scheduling;
- Offers;
- Buyer matching;
- Follow-up; and
- Potential transactions.
Where legally required, additional consent will be obtained before regulated automated, prerecorded, synthesized-voice, artificial-voice, or marketing communications are made.
53. North Dakota Telephone Solicitation Law
North Dakota maintains specific telephone-solicitation rules.
Where applicable, callers must comply with requirements concerning:
- Permitted calling times;
- Caller identification;
- Do-not-call restrictions;
- Automatic dialing-announcing devices;
- Prerecorded or synthesized voice messages;
- Consent; and
- Related consumer protections.
A homeowner’s request for a cash offer authorizes reasonable responsive contact but does not override otherwise applicable telemarketing laws.
54. Recording of Communications
North Dakota generally permits a person to record a wire or oral communication where:
- The recorder is a party; or
- One party has given prior consent,
provided the interception is not undertaken for the purpose of committing a crime or other unlawful harm.
We or providers acting on our behalf may record communications for legitimate purposes including:
- Quality assurance;
- Training;
- Documentation;
- Compliance;
- Fraud prevention; and
- Security.
Because another participant may be in a jurisdiction with stricter recording rules, we will follow any stricter applicable requirement.
55. Text Messages
If you provide a mobile telephone number and applicable consent, we may communicate by text concerning:
- Your inquiry;
- Your property;
- Scheduling;
- Offers;
- Buyer matching;
- Follow-up; and
- Potential transactions.
Where required, separate or additional consent will be obtained before regulated automated or marketing communications are sent.
Consent to marketing is not a condition of receiving an offer or selling property where prohibited by law.
Message and data rates may apply.
Message frequency may vary.
Reply STOP to request that applicable messages stop.
56. Email Communications
By providing an email address, you authorize us to communicate regarding:
- Your property;
- Potential offers;
- Prospective purchasers;
- Scheduling;
- Follow-up;
- Services; and
- Potential transactions.
Applicable promotional emails will provide an unsubscribe mechanism.
57. Electronic Communications
Where permitted by law, you consent to receive Website and transaction communications electronically, including:
- Email;
- Text messages;
- Electronic documents; and
- Website notices.
58. Privacy
Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.
The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.
59. Independent Decision-Making
Selling real estate may have significant:
- Legal;
- Financial;
- Tax;
- Insurance; and
- Personal consequences.
You may wish to consult:
- A North Dakota attorney;
- A licensed North Dakota real estate professional;
- A tax professional;
- An accountant;

- Construction advice;
- Engineering advice;
- Appraisal advice;
- Mortgage advice;

61. No Automatic Brokerage, Agency, or Fiduciary Relationship
Use of the Website does not itself create:
- A real estate brokerage relationship;
- Seller representation;
- Buyer representation;
- Agency;
- A fiduciary relationship;
- A partnership;
- A joint venture; or
- Employment.
Where a licensed North Dakota real estate professional participates, applicable brokerage documents and statutory duties control.
62. Acceptable Use

67. Disclaimer of Warranties

OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR CLAIMS ARISING SOLELY FROM WEBSITE USE WILL NOT EXCEED $500, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
This Website-only limitation does not govern rights or liabilities under a separately executed purchase, assignment, brokerage, mortgage-related, debt-settlement, or other transaction agreement unless that agreement expressly provides otherwise.
69. Independent Third-Party Buyers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for the independent:
- Offers;
- Representations;

- Financing;
- Privacy practices;
- Performance; or
- Conduct
of an unaffiliated prospective purchaser.
Nothing in this section excludes liability that applicable law does not permit to be excluded.
