Terms & Conditions

Please read these terms carefully before using Sell Signal services. By engaging with our services you agree to be bound by the following.

01 Applicability
  1. These Sell Signal Terms & Conditions (these "Terms & Conditions") govern the provision of seller appointment services by Sell Signal, a California company ("Sell Signal"), to the Customer.
  2. These Terms & Conditions, together with the Sell Signal general Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, CCPA Policy, and any other policies published by Sell Signal (as each may be modified from time to time, collectively, the "Agreement"), constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, negotiations, representations, warranties, and communications, whether written or oral.
  3. These Terms & Conditions prevail over any general terms submitted by Customer, regardless of when Customer submitted a request for proposal, order, or similar document. Provision of services to Customer does not constitute acceptance of any Customer terms and does not modify or amend these Terms & Conditions.
  4. As used herein, the term "seller appointment" means a scheduled phone, online, or in-person appointment with a person or entity who has expressed interest in selling their property and may engage Customer for representation in listing that property for sale. Sell Signal cannot guarantee that any seller appointment will utilize Customer's services, agree to a listing presentation, or produce any other specific outcome for Customer.
02 Services

Sell Signal shall provide the following seller appointment services to Customer:

  1. Sell Signal shall provide seller appointments to Customer as they are screened and become available. The number of seller appointments will fluctuate based on Sell Signal's ability to generate them. Customer will be billed the per-appointment rate quoted by Sell Signal during engagement for each appointment delivered.
  2. All seller appointments provided under these Terms & Conditions will have been contacted by Sell Signal prior to delivery to Customer. All such contact is conducted on behalf of Customer and may include, without limitation, outreach to schedule appointments.
  3. Customer shall pay Sell Signal an initial non-refundable setup fee in the amount quoted by Sell Signal during the engagement process.
03 Term

Sell Signal shall use reasonable efforts to meet any performance timelines referenced in these Terms & Conditions; all such timelines are estimates only. Seller appointments shall be provided from the commencement of the term until termination as set forth herein (the "Term"). The Term begins on the date Customer's credit card on file with Sell Signal is first charged, or the initial payment (including any setup fee) is otherwise applied. All payments for each seller appointment are deemed fully earned by Sell Signal at the time such appointment is delivered, and Customer shall be charged accordingly.

04 Customer's Obligations

Customer shall:

  1. Cooperate with Sell Signal in all matters relating to the Services as may reasonably be requested by Sell Signal;
  2. Respond promptly to any Sell Signal request for direction, information, approvals, authorizations, or decisions reasonably necessary for Sell Signal to perform the Services;
  3. Provide such materials or information as Sell Signal may reasonably request to carry out the Services in a timely manner, and ensure that all such materials and information are complete and accurate in all material respects;
  4. Obtain and maintain all necessary licenses and consents, and comply with all applicable laws in relation to the Services, prior to the date on which the Services are to begin; and
  5. Understand and agree that seller appointments provided by Sell Signal may request a phone, online, or in-person appointment at the seller's discretion. Sell Signal cannot guarantee that any seller appointment will utilize Customer's services, agree to a listing presentation, or produce any other specific outcome for Customer.
05 Account Pause Limitation and Automatic Reinstatement

A Customer may request to pause their account for a maximum period of four (4) weeks or thirty (30) calendar days, whichever occurs first. If no written notice or approved extension is received by Sell Signal before expiration of the pause period, the account shall automatically reinstate to active status without further notice. Sell Signal assumes no liability for any activity, charges, or account actions that occur following automatic reinstatement.

06 Customer's Acts or Omissions

If Sell Signal's performance of its obligations under this Agreement is prevented or delayed by any act or omission of Customer or its agents, subcontractors, consultants, or employees, Sell Signal shall not be deemed in breach of its obligations or otherwise liable for any costs, charges, or losses sustained by Customer, to the extent arising directly or indirectly from such prevention or delay.

07 Fees and Expenses; Payment Terms; Interest on Late Payments
  1. In consideration of the Services provided by Sell Signal and the rights granted to Customer under this Agreement, Customer shall pay the fees set forth in Section 2 of these Terms & Conditions.
  2. Customer's credit card on file with Sell Signal shall be charged upon delivery of each seller appointment. All payments shall be made in US dollars.
  3. In the event the credit card on file is declined or payment is not received by Sell Signal within thirty (30) days after becoming due, Sell Signal may: (i) charge interest on any unpaid amounts at a rate of 1.5% per month, or if lower, the maximum rate permitted under applicable law, from the due date until paid in full; and (ii) suspend performance of all Services until payment has been made in full.
08 Agent and Lender Co-Marketing

Customers who participate in co-marketing arrangements understand and agree that the relationship between Customer and any co-marketing lender is strictly limited to a cost-sharing arrangement under which the lender pays a portion of the fees for the Services. Customer remains responsible for any amounts not paid by the co-marketing lender. In the event a co-marketing lender fails to pay amounts billed by Sell Signal, Sell Signal will charge Customer the outstanding balance due.

09 Taxes

Customer shall be responsible for all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental entity on any amounts payable by Customer under this Agreement.
