6.1 EMAIL POLICY
EMAIL IN GENERAL
Our communications to you in email may not accurately represent the entire or final disposition of a matter or constitute our official business, due to brevity or informality. Email is one medium through which information may be exchanged, as when an email message responds to a voice mail. Accordingly, email, by itself, may not accurately reflect the complete communication or our intent as to the subject matter referred to within the communication, nor constitute an official business record of NAF. Any official content present in an email communication is qualified in its entirety by any signed writings, which shall govern such content according to their provisions. Also, unless explicitly permitted in a signed writing or necessary by law, the mere receipt of an email by us may not put us on notice, timely or otherwise, of the matters contained within that email.
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
The emails we send are confidential (and all attachments to such emails are confidential) and are to be reviewed and/or disclosed to only the individual or entity to whom they are addressed and intended. If you receive an email in error or if it is improperly forwarded to you, the information contained in the email should, at all times, remain confidential and such circumstances shall not authorize you to use or disclose the confidential information. You agree to notify the sender immediately by telephone or email, and delete or destroy the original and any copies. Any unauthorized use, disclosure, reproduction, or distribution is strictly prohibited. Emails marked as “Confidential” contain confidential and/or proprietary information that is disclosed under the condition that you treat and maintain such information strictly in a confidential manner and in compliance with all applicable privacy laws and that you ensure such information is not disclosed or used by others, except for the limited and confidential purpose for which it is being provided. By accepting receipt of and/or reviewing confidential information that we provide, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, or expenses, including attorney’s fees that we may incur as a result of the unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information due to your acts or omissions.
PRIVILEGED INFORMATION
Emails exchanged with or involving our lawyers and legal staff may contain privileged information subject to the attorney-client privilege and/or the attorney work product privilege. Such privileged information shall not be waived if you receive an email in error or if it was improperly forwarded or delivered to you or you otherwise receive such communication by any means. If you are not the intended recipient of privileged information, you agree to notify the sender immediately by telephone or email and delete or destroy the original and any copies. Any unauthorized use, disclosure, reproduction, or distribution of confidential or privileged information is strictly prohibited.
TIME SENSITIVE INSTRUCTIONS & OFFICIAL MATTERS; FILTERS
Do not use email to communicate time-sensitive instructions or official company matters; they may not be received or reviewed by us in a timely manner. Emails are processed through various virus and spam filters which may delay or reject the delivery of an email altogether. Urgent matters should be communicated in person directly with the person of concern via telephone and then confirmed in writing with the appropriate person via fax or email. We reserve the right to block any email source we deem inappropriate.
BUSINESS PURPOSES
Our email facilities are to be used only for conducting business with us. Vendors, suppliers, clients and others receiving email from us may not use our email addresses or contact information (or any other person’s email address appearing on or in our email) for any purpose other than corresponding with us for lawful and legitimate business purposes relating to our business. The receipt of an email is not our consent for you to use our email address or contact information for direct marketing purposes or for transfers of data to third-parties, and such use is strictly prohibited.
MONITORING OF COMMUNICATIONS
All emails sent to us or from us may be forwarded, monitored, and/or reviewed by others within NAF other than the designated recipient/sender with or without notice to the designated recipient/sender. We may also record or monitor other forms of communications you have with us via the website, PC-talk, chat, email, text messages to and from Company-owned cellular devices, and telephone. By using such communication methods you are consenting to the recording, monitoring, storage, and/or use of the same without further notice.
UNSECURED TRANSMISSIONS
While certain designated areas within our websites employ technologies to secure your data and the transmissions between you and us, general email uses the Internet, which is an open system, and we cannot provide absolute assurances that all emails (sent or received) are secure, error free, not corrupted, incomplete or virus free and/or that they won’t be lost, mis-delivered, destroyed, delayed, intercepted or decrypted by others. We therefore advise against sending sensitive or personally identifiable information over email, and disclaim all liability with regard to emails (and the contents therein) if they are corrupted, lost, destroyed, delayed, incomplete, mis-delivered, intercepted, decrypted or otherwise misappropriated by others.
VIRUSES
Computer viruses can be transmitted via email through email content, attachments to emails and embedded links. Although our emails are believed to be free of any virus or other defects that might affect computer systems in which they are received and opened, it is your responsibility to ensure that any email you open is virus free. We are not responsible for any loss or damage arising in any way from the receipt, use, storage or transmission of our emails. If we forward an email or reply to a prior email, the contents may have been produced by someone other than us, for which assume no liability whatsoever. The use of email to introduce any virus, malicious or disabling code, or to otherwise interfere with our email transmissions, telecommunication, or computer networks is prohibited and against the law; violators will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
In addition to any other disclaimers we make in this Agreement, we disclaim any representation or warranty that our emails are virus free and/or error free. You agree to hold the Company harmless for any loss or damage arising from an email sent or forwarded to you or arising from any email reply or otherwise received by you.
PROHIBITED EMAIL CONTENT
We prohibit our team members from using email to make or send any type of menacing, defamatory, discriminatory, harassing, offensive or threatening statements or materials, or statements or materials that infringe the copyrights or legal rights of others. Such communications are against our policies and outside the scope of employment of our team members. You agree to hold the Company harmless from any harm, loss, or damage resulting from such communication, and the Company accepts no liability for such communication, and any of our team members responsible for such communication will be personally and solely liable for any damages or other liability arising therefrom. Please report any such violations to our Customer Service Department, 14511 Myford Road, Suite 100, Tustin, CA 92780, or you may call 855-270-7377.
The use of our email facilities for purposes of sending menacing, harassing, offensive or threatening messages to us or any member of our team is strictly prohibited and is unlawful; violators will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Use of our email facilities for soliciting any of our team to breach their employment agreements or to interfere with their employment status with us, or which otherwise interferes with our business or economic advantage is strictly prohibited and may result in legal action against you.
6.2 TERMS APPLICABLE TO EMAIL AND MOBILE MESSAGING
EMAILS ARE GENERALLY NOT FORMAL SIGNED WRITINGS; E-SIGN DISCLOSURE
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, our emails do not contain or constitute an electronic signature, even if the sender’s name appears in the email. An Email communication may not be construed against us as an interest rate lock, an unconditional loan commitment, an unconditional loan approval, unconditional pre-qualification, unconditional pre-approval, or any other unconditional offer or agreement to lend. Such documents and agreements are generally sent to clients in formal signed writings from us. Please review our Electronic Consent Agreement for additional information.
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED; STATEMENTS ATTRIBUTABLE TO US.
Our email shall be deemed Content and subject to the restrictions set forth herein with respect to Content. The only official publishable public statements that can be attributed to us are statements issued by our CEO, President, or Chief Operating Officer.
NEGLIGENT MISSTATEMENT
In addition to the other disclaimers made in this Agreement, we disclaim any and all responsibility, including responsibility based on negligence or negligent misstatement, for the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of data or information contained in or furnished through email and we make no warranties, express or implied, with respect to such data or information. By using or interacting with the Website and/or reviewing information that we provide, you agree to hold us harmless against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses, including attorney’s fees that you may incur as a result of any negligence or negligent misstatement.

6.3 USE OF COOKIES AND WEB BEACONS
We collect information from your online visits to our Website and your use of the Websites to help gather statistics about usage and effectiveness, personalize your experiences, and tailor our interactions with you. We do so using various technologies, which include, but are not limited to the use of cookies and web beacons.
USE OF COOKIES
A cookie is a text file that is either stored in your computer’s memory temporarily and automatically deleted when you close your browser (a “session cookie”) or placed on your hard drive (a “persistent cookie”) by a web page server. A persistent cookie is not deleted when the browser is closed. Cookies help websites keep track of your preferences and recognize you as a return visitor. When you return to a website you have visited before, your browser gives the information stored in the cookie back to the website’s server. For example, in addition to other information, www.newamericanfunding.com may use a cookie to save your zip code location selection so that we can present product and service information that is available in your area. Additionally, we may use cookies to facilitate online surveys, to track how visitors use our site, or to deliver our products and services to you. We use this information to improve the content, usability and functionality of our website. Recording information in a cookie allows us to simplify and personalize your online experience, as well as to deliver our products and services to you. We generally use both session and persistent cookies.
You may choose to set your browser to reject cookies. However, if you disable cookies on your browser, you may not be able to log in or use basic features on the Websites. For more information see the "Help" information for the browser you are using. If you do not wish to have cookies placed on your computer, you should set your internet browser to refuse cookies before accessing our site, with the understanding that certain features of the site may not function properly without the aid of cookies. If you refuse cookies, you assume all responsibility for any resulting loss of functionality.
USE OF WEB BEACONS
Web beacons, which are also known as web bugs or pixel tags, are often used in combination with cookies. They are images, often transparent, that are part of web pages. With the assistance of a cookie, web beacons may collect the IP address of your computer, the URL of the page the web beacons comes from and the time it was viewed, or other personal information. For example, web beacons may add information to a personal profile of what sites a person is visiting and to determine what banner ads to display based on the profile. Another use of web beacons is to provide an independent accounting of how many people have visited a particular website and to gather statistics about web browser usage at different places on the Internet.
USE OF WEB BROWSER DO NOT TRACK AND OTHER SIMILAR MECHANISMS
You may set your web browser to disable the ability for one or more websites to track your usage. For example, as stated above under the heading “Use of Cookies,” you may choose to set your browser to reject cookies. We may not be able to respond (and make no representation that we will) or take any action when it comes to certain “do not track” technologies due to technology and industry standards constantly evolving. Also, we are unable to respond or take any action when you access third party websites or online services. Further, please note that if you set your browser to disable cookies or other tracking mechanisms, then your experience using our online services may not be the same depending on the particular service. Specifically, functionality of a service may be limited, may not function properly, or may not work at all. These functionalities include, but are not limited to, settings as to screen size and appearance, logon verification, and pre-populated information.

The Websites, including all Content, additions, changes and/or improvements, are provided “as-is”. It is your responsibility to evaluate the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information, opinion, advice or other content available through the Websites.
To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, NAF disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement with respect to the Websites. NAF makes no representation or warranty regarding the content or operation of the Websites, web pages, or use thereof.

You acknowledge and agree that NAF may, at any time, in its sole discretion, limit, modify, suspend, or terminate your access, use of, or interaction with the Websites with or without cause and with or without delivering notice or explanation to you. This right is in addition to all other rights and remedies available to NAF under this Agreement and those provided by law.
12. SUBSCRIPTION AND CANCELLATION
NAF reserves the right to implement a subscription term and fee for the use of its Websites and/or Apps. The Company further reserves the right to offer different types of subscriptions and fees. NAF reserves the right to implement a subscription fee and term at any time by providing notice to you on the Websites or Apps.
If a subscription fee and term is implemented, you will receive written confirmation when your subscription offer has been accepted. Processing of an application or fee for a subscription does not signify acceptance of the subscription offer.
Unless specifically stated otherwise in any subscription offer or other promotion pertaining to your specific subscription, you have the right to cancel your subscription at any time. Cancellation shall take effect at the end of the then-current subscription period and no refunds, credits, or exchanges will be provided for that subscription period. You may exercise your option to cancel through the use of the digital tools on the Website or in the App, or by contacting us directly.
13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Neither NAF nor its subsidiaries, affiliates, vendors, or licensors (or any of their employees, agents, officers or directors) shall be held liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special or consequential damages or other injury, harm, or damage arising out of or in any way connected with the use or the inability to use the Websites or with the delay or inability to use the Websites, or for any information, software, products and services obtained through the Websites, including but not limited to reliance by you on any information obtained through or from the Websites, or that result from mistakes, omissions, interruptions, deletion of files or emails, errors, defects, viruses, worms, trojan horses, trap doors, back doors, easter eggs, time bombs, cancelbots or other code or computer programming routines that contain contaminating or destructive properties or that are intended to damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or personal information, delays in operation or transmission, or any failure of performance, whether or not resulting from acts of god, communications failure, theft, destruction or unauthorized access to our records, programs or services, or otherwise arising out of the use of the Websites, whether resulting in whole or in part, from breach of contract, tortious conduct, negligence, strict liability or otherwise, even if NAF and/or our affiliates, vendors and/or licensors have been advised of the possibility of damages.
Applicable law may not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. However, in no event shall the collective total liability of NAF and its subsidiaries, affiliates, vendors, or licensors (or any of their employees, agents, officers or directors) to you for damages, losses, and causes of action (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) exceed the amount paid by you, if any, in accessing, interacting with, or using the Websites or any Content thereon.
In no way does this Agreement require New Jersey consumers to waive any rights otherwise protected under the Truth-in-Consumer Contract, Warranty and Notice Act.
14. REASONABLE EFFORTS
While NAF will use commercially reasonable efforts to have your application fully processed and closed on or before any applicable rate lock expiration date (if any) and/or anticipated closing date, some processes are not under our reasonable control. For instance, and without limitation, NAF cannot be responsible for delays in loan approval or closing due to any of the following: the untimely receipt of an acceptable appraisal; the untimely receipt of required documentation; your existing home not selling; or matters disclosed by a title commitment or survey.

You promise to provide us with accurate, complete, and updated registration information about yourself. You may not select as your User ID a name that you don’t have the right to use, or another person’s name with the intent to impersonate that person. You may not transfer your account to anyone else without our prior written permission.
By submitting information, data, passwords, usernames, PINs, other log-in information, materials and other content to Company through the Website ("Account Information"), you are licensing that content to Company for the purpose of providing the mortgage-related services (“Services”). Company may use and store the content in accordance with this Agreement and our Privacy Policy.

By using the Website, you expressly authorize Company to access your Account Information maintained by identified third parties, on your behalf as your agent. Company will submit information including usernames and passwords that you provide to log into the Website. You hereby authorize and permit Company to use and store information submitted by you to accomplish the foregoing and to configure the Service so that it is compatible with the third party sites for which you submit your information. For purposes of this Agreement and solely to provide the Account Information to you as part of the Service, you grant Company a limited power of attorney, and appoint Company as your attorney-in-fact and agent, to access third party sites, retrieve and use your information with the full power and authority to do and perform each thing necessary in connection with such activities, as you could do in person.

If you are using the Services with another person jointly to apply for a loan, each of you will provide your (individual and/or combined) personal information for the loan application using a single account.

Such a user also may have the ability to view, print, transmit, save, and/or edit the personal information. Access may continue for as long as you and the other person use the Services jointly throughout the loan process.

We do not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from children under 13; if you are a child under 13, please do not attempt to register for the Services or send any personal information about yourself to us.

This is a license only – your ownership in User Submissions is not affected.
If you store a User Submission in your own personal Company account, in a manner that is not viewable by any other user except you (a "Personal User Submission"), you grant Company the license above, as well as a license to display, perform, and distribute your Personal User Submission for the sole purpose of making that Personal User Submission accessible to you and providing the Services necessary to do so.
You agree that the licenses you grant are royalty-free, perpetual, sublicenseable, irrevocable, and worldwide, provided that when you delete your Company account, we will stop displaying your User Submissions (other than Public User Submissions, which may remain fully available) to other users (if applicable), but you understand and agree that it may not be possible to completely delete that content from Company’s records, and that your User Submissions may remain viewable elsewhere to the extent that they were copied or stored by other users.
Finally, you understand and agree that Company, in performing the required technical steps to provide the Services to our users (including you), may need to make changes to your User Submissions to conform and adapt those User Submissions to the technical requirements of connection networks, devices, services, or media, and the foregoing licenses include the rights to do so.

18. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the use of the Websites, to the goods or services provided by us, or to any acts or omissions for which you may contend we are liable, including but not limited to any claim or controversy as to arbitrability (“Dispute”), shall be finally, and exclusively, settled by arbitration. The arbitration shall be held before one arbitrator pursuant to the most recent published AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be venued in a location reasonably convenient to you, the Website user, but only in jurisdictions in the United States and the District of Columbia where NAF is licensed to provide mortgage related services. The arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the AAA rules. Should no AAA rule regarding the selection of an arbitrator be in effect, the parties shall agree on an arbitrator mutually agreeable to both parties, but in the event the parties cannot agree, each shall select one AAA arbitrator and the two selected arbitrators shall select a separate AAA arbitrator to preside over the arbitration. Should the AAA decline to accept a matter submitted for individual (non-class) arbitration under this Agreement, the parties shall jointly select another arbitrator. In the event the parties are unable to agree on a neutral arbitrator, each shall select one arbitrator and the two selected arbitrators shall select a separate arbitrator to preside over the arbitration. To begin the arbitration process, a party must make a written demand therefor.
To the extent it does not violate any applicable law, the arbitration fees and costs shall be split equally between the parties.
Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The agreement to arbitrate shall not be construed as an agreement to the joinder or consolidation of arbitration under this agreement with arbitration of disputes or claims of any non-party, regardless of the nature of the issues or disputes involved. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under this Agreement shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this Agreement, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise.
This Agreement provides that all disputes between you and NAF will be resolved by binding arbitration. You thus give up your right to go to court or jury to assert or defend your rights. You also give up your right to participate in or bring class actions. Your rights will be determined by neutral arbitrators and not a judge or jury. You are entitled to a fair hearing, and the arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court. Arbitrator decisions are enforceable as with any court order and are binding. By using the Websites and/or our goods, facilities and services, you consent to these restrictions including the selection of binding arbitration as the sole venue and jurisdiction for dispute resolution arising out of or related to this Agreement
This Agreement and its provisions shall be construed, interpreted, governed, and applied in accordance with the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflict of law principles.
19. OTHER TERMS
This Agreement (which hereby incorporates by reference any other provisions applicable to use of the Websites) constitutes the entire agreement between you and us and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications, promises and proposals, whether oral, written or electronic, between you and us with respect to the Websites and information, software, products and services associated with it.
You may not assign, delegate or transfer this Agreement or your rights or obligations hereunder, or your Account, in any way (by operation of law or otherwise) without Company’s prior written consent. Company may transfer, assign, or delegate this Agreement and our rights and obligations hereunder without consent.
If any part of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision, and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in effect.
No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of this Agreement and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind Company in any respect whatsoever. Except as expressly set forth in the section above regarding the Apple Application, you and Company agree that there are no third party beneficiaries intended under this Agreement.
A printed version of this Agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in a legal proceeding based upon or relating to this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.
