Services Description:
Charitable Giving:
HomeFundIt Campaigns are not charities to which you can make tax-deductible
charitable contributions. As used in this Agreement, the term "Campaign"
does not refer to a Charity, and you acknowledge that contributions to
Campaigns are not deductible under your jurisdiction’s applicable tax laws
and regulations.
No Donor is an interested party to the transaction. (Donors may be
non-related persons but not an interested party).
The Services are a Platform:
HomeFundIt does not guarantee that your Campaign will obtain a certain
amount of Donations or any Donations at all. We make no guarantee, explicit
or implied, that any information provided through the Services by a user is
accurate. We expressly disclaim any liability or responsibility for the
success of any Campaign, or the outcome of any fundraising purpose. You, as
a Donor, must make the final determination as to the value and
appropriateness of contributing to an Individual’s Campaign.
We do not and cannot verify the information that Campaign Organizers
supply, Donations must be used in accordance with the fundraising purpose
prescribed by a HomeFundIt Campaign Organizer. We assume no responsibility
to verify whether the Donations are used in accordance with any applicable
laws; such responsibility rests solely with the HomeFundIt Campaign
Organizer, as applicable. While we have no obligation to verify that the
use of any funds raised is in accordance with applicable law and these
Terms of Service, we take possible fraudulent activity and the misuse of
funds raised very seriously. It is the policy of HomeFundIt, dba CMG
Financial to report all suspicious activity to FinCEN as required by law.
In cases where no substantive conclusion can be drawn relative to whether
suspicion exists, CMG will err on the side of caution and file a regulatory
report. However, there does need to be a basis for the report beyond
supposition, hearsay or conjecture. If you have reason to believe that a
HomeFundIt Campaign Organizer is not raising or using the funds for their
stated purpose, please email all related fraud allegations to CMG’s Fraud
Department: loanInvestigations@cmgfi.com.
HomeFundIt, CMG Mortgage, Inc., dba CMG Financial, NMLS #1820, (“CMG”)
complies with the Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) Act enforcement program and
the regulations of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”), a

non-banking residential mortgage lenders to comply with the Bank Secrecy
Act (“BSA”) regulations including those involving the filing of Suspicious
Activity Reports (“SAR”) and implementing a Customer Identification Program
(“CIP”).
Foreign Asset Control - CMG shall implement reasonable procedures for
determining whether the customer appears on any list of the known or
suspected terrorists or terrorist’s organizations provided to CMG by any
government agency. The names of all persons subject to this Policy shall be
checked against the current Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) Search
and against the control list of known or suspected terrorists or terrorist
organizations provided to CMG by a federal government agency. CMG requires
that it adhere to any and all federal directives issued in connection with
the Treasury's OFAC Specifically Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons

Conditions of Use
User Conduct:
These requirements are intended to prevent you, the Campaign organizer, and
third party vendors from violating federal regulations related to mortgage
banking and consumer compliance, and to understand and manage risks
associated with activities conducted through social media use. Wherever
state or local regulations overlap and are stricter than the requirements
set out in this policy, the more conservative approach shall be applied.
You are solely responsible for all Campaign descriptions, comments, videos,
images, information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs,
graphics, messages or other materials ("content") that you upload, post,
publish or display (hereinafter, "upload") or transmit or otherwise use via
the Services. Social media sites are intended to provide general
information and encourage interaction within the community. The following
are examples of the kind of content and/or use that is illegal or
prohibited by HomeFundIt. However, this list is not exhaustive and
HomeFundIt reserves the right to investigate anyone by engaging public and
private organizations, including, but not limited to collection agents,
private investigators, and local, state, federal and applicable
international agencies, and take appropriate action against anyone who, in
HomeFundIt's sole discretion, violates any of the terms or spirit of these
Terms of Service (or the principles described in our preamble hereto),
including, without limitation, removing the offending content, suspending
or terminating the account of such violators, stopping payments to any such
Campaign, freezing or placing a hold on donated funds when HomeFundIt
reasonably believes it to be required by applicable law, and reporting you
to law enforcement authorities or otherwise taking appropriate legal
action. Without limiting the foregoing, you agree to not use the Services
to:
Donations: In order to contribute to a HomeFundIt Campaign, a Donor will be required to provide HomeFundIt information regarding its credit card or other payment instrument. You, as a Donor, agree that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the payment instrument. You agree that a signed Gift Letter will be required for set minimum Donation amount additional information from you may apply, and that all Donation payments are final. Additional but not limited example in accordance with the HomeFundIt Guidelines.

HomeFundIt does not charge a Campaign Organizer any upfront fees for
initiating a Campaign. Donors acknowledge that by contributing a Donation
to a Campaign, the Donor is agreeing to any and all applicable terms and
conditions set forth by our payment partners, in addition to these Terms of
Service, including
Stripe's terms of service
,
If HomeFundIt does change its Fees, HomeFundIt will provide advance notice
of the change on the Platform or in email to you. Your continued use of the
Services after the Fee change becomes effective constitutes your acceptance
of the updated Fees. Unless expressly stated otherwise, all Fees referred
to in these Terms of Service are exclusive of Value Added Tax, Goods and
Services Tax and any other taxes, where applicable.
Account Holds:
HomeFundIt may place a hold on a Campaign account.
Some of the reasons that we may place a Hold on a Campaign Account include
the following: (i) if we have reason to believe (in our sole discretion)
that information provided by a Campaign Organizer is false, misleading, or
fraudulent, or that funds are being used in a prohibited manner, (ii) if
the funds available should be provided directly to a person other than the
Campaign Organizer (such as a legal beneficiary or person entitled by law
to act on behalf of a Campaign Organizer), (iii) if we have reason to
believe that a Campaign Organizer has violated these Terms of Service, or
(iv) if required in order to comply with a court order, subpoena, writ,
injunction, or as otherwise required under applicable laws and regulations.
Withdrawing Donations from a Campaign: You, as a Campaign Organizer, may withdraw down payment donations from your Campaign at any time, less fees less any fees assessed (see section above), by initiating this from your Campaign Dashboard, to a qualifying U.S. bank account. SEE YOUR LOAN OFFICER FOR SPECIFIC GUIDANCE ON WHEN TO WITHDRAW FUNDS. Funds MUST be withdrawn at least 60 days prior to submitting a loan application (subject to lender guidelines and documentation requirements); failure to do so, or if you withdraw funds on such timing that the deposit appears on the (typically two) monthly bank statements that are required to be provided as documentation for your loan approval, some or all of your funds may be insufficiently documented and may not be qualified for use as down payment funds in a home purchase transaction. Grant funds that you may qualify for are only disbursed by Lender upon closing a transaction with CMG Financial (or one of its joint venture partners).
What is a closing disclosure: A Closing Disclosure is a five-page form that provides final details about the mortgage loan you have selected. It includes the loan terms, your projected monthly payments, and how much you will pay in fees and other costs to get your mortgage ( closing costs). HomeFundIt will disburse any remaining funds to you, as a Campaign Organizer, via cahiers check. You are responsible for ensuring that the information you provide to HomeFundIt in order to process a final Withdrawal of any remaining Donations, is accurate and up to date.

Disclaimer of Warranties

"AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. HomeFUNDME AND ITS AFFILIATES EXPRESSLY
DISCLAIM AND EXCLUDE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
ALL WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS AND REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER
EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND
NON-INFRINGEMENT.
HomeFUNDME AND ITS AFFILIATES MAKE NO WARRANTY OR CONDITION THAT (I) THE
SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, (II) THE SERVICE WILL BE
UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, (III) THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE
OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICE WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE, OR (IV)
THE QUALITY OF ANY PRODUCTS, SERVICES, INFORMATION, OR OTHER MATERIAL
PURCHASED OR OBTAINED BY YOU THROUGH THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR
EXPECTATIONS.
Limitation of Liability
YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLIABLE LAW, NEITHER HOMEFUNDME NOR ITS AFFILIATES WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY
(A) INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY
DAMAGES, (B) DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, (C) DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL,
(D) DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF USE, (E) LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA, OR (F) OTHER
INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF HOMEFUNDME HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY

HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE
LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY
TO YOU. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE OR WITH
THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE
USE OF THE SERVICES.
Most user concerns can be resolved quickly and to the user's satisfaction
by emailing HomeFundIt support. In the unlikely event that our user support
team is unable to resolve a complaint you may have (or if HomeFundIt has
not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after attempting to do
so informally), we each agree to resolve those disputes through binding
arbitration, mediation, or small claims court instead of in courts of
general jurisdiction. Arbitration, which is often cheaper, faster and less
formal than a lawsuit in court, uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a
judge or jury. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a
court can award.
Arbitration Agreement
HomeFundIt and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us.
This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It
includes, but is not limited to:
HomeFundIt", "we", "you", and "us" include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or devices under this or prior agreements between us. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. This arbitration agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, provincial, national or local agencies, including, for example, if residing in the United States, the Federal Communications Commission or the Attorney General of your state. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms of Service, you and HomeFundIt are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. If residing in the United States, these Terms of Service evidence a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms of Service.
Termination
You agree that HomeFundIt, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate
your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Services and remove and
discard any content within the Services under reasonable circumstances,
including, without limitation, for lack of use or if HomeFundIt believes
that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of
these Terms of Service. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal
activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of Services, may
be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. You agree that any
termination of your access to the Services under any provision of these
Terms of Service may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and
agree that HomeFundIt may immediately deactivate or delete your account and
all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further
access to such files or the Services where such deactivation or deletion is
permitted under these Terms of Service. Further, you agree that HomeFundIt
will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your
access to the Services.
User Disputes
HomeFundIt reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in
any way with disputes between you and any other user of the Services. You
agree that you are solely responsible for your interactions with any other
user in connection with the Services and HomeFundIt will have no liability
or responsibility with respect thereto.
General
These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and
HomeFundIt and govern your use of the Services, superseding any prior
agreements between you and HomeFundIt with respect to the Services. You
also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when
you use affiliate or third-party services, third-party content or
third-party software. These Terms of Service will be governed by the laws
of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law
provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to
arbitration, as set forth above, you and HomeFundIt agree to submit to the
personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located
within San Ramon County, California. The failure of HomeFundIt to exercise
or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not
constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these
Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be (or
are otherwise) invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court
should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in
the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Service remain in
full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to
the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use
of the Services or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year
after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed
version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form will
be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings 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. You may not assign these Terms of Service
without the prior written consent of HomeFundIt, but HomeFundIt may assign
or transfer these Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without
restriction. If we fail to enforce any of our rights, that does not result
in a waiver of that right. The section titles in these Terms of Service are
for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Notices to
you may be made via either email or regular mail. The Services may also
provide notices to you of changes to these Terms of Service or other
matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the
Platform.
