Orders Made Under Dispute

Certain situations occur where Customer will hire Company to provide Services due to issues with the property owner (i.e., a Broker’s Price Opinion “BPO”). Company is hired because Customer is unable to deal with the property owner. When situations like this are not disclosed to Company, it creates a potentially dangerous situation for Company and its Field Agents. Therefore, when this kind of situation arises, Customer acknowledges and agrees that Company, in its sole and exclusive discretion, shall be permitted to terminate Services and Customer shall not be entitled to any refunds whereby Company’s Services were procured due to a contentious relationship between Customer and homeowner.

The name and contact information of the Client Point of Contact (POC) must be entered in the comment section of the order. The POC is responsible for meeting with our Field Agent at the property to provide them with property access (for example gate or lock box codes or house entry keys for interior shots). Please select your POC carefully. If a POC is needed to assist our Field Agent and they are not available at the designated time a fee may be charged to the Customer. If the POC does not show up for a scheduled appointment to assist with property access for the Field Agent, then the Field Agent will only take the requested exterior photos and leave. If the Field Agent cannot locate the lock box or code box, the POC may be called upon to assist in finding it. A partial credit of $4.00 may be issued to the Customer if there was a lockbox or a code box at the property, but it was not plainly visible to the Field Agent.
