We may also at our sole discretion limit access to the Service and/or terminate the subscriptions of any User or Subscriber who infringes any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.
COMMUNICATIONS POLICYWe may communicate with you in a variety of different ways including by email, voicemail, mail, text and SMS messaging, and in person. Some communications occur through multiple channels. Such communications are confidential and only intended for you or persons authorized to act on your behalf. By using the Service, you acknowledge the following communications-related practices:
Email communications: Unless explicitly stated, emails are not intended as formal or confirmed interest rate locks, unconditional loan commitments or unconditional loan approvals. Unless explicitly stated, ARIVE does not communicate by any method conditional or unconditional loan pre-qualifications or pre-approvals or any type of agreements to lend to a borrower.Disclosures and Time Sensitive Instructions: Do not use the Platform, affiliate websites, chat or email to communicate to us any time-sensitive instructions that are in any way related to or may
affect your loan, loan application, loan disclosures or loan closing documentation (such as interest rates locks, updates of your personal information, cancellation of a closing, rescissions, or any matter related to the loan). Instead, contact your broker or lender directly.
All transactions conducted on the Service, our affiliate websites, chat or via email, must be confirmed in writing by us to be accepted by and binding upon us. Our communications regarding matters regulated by applicable federal and state laws will always be formal and notated as such.
Recording and Monitoring of Communications: As described herein, your communications with us, including via the Service, chat, email, and telephone, may be recorded or monitored, and by using such communications methods you are consenting to the recording or monitoring of the same.
Loan Decisions: ARIVE is not a lender or brokers, and all loan decisions, pre-qualifications, rate locks, deposits refunds, evaluations of creditworthiness, and other commitments regarding a loan are made only by your lender or broker in writing, and never by ARIVE. Approvals and pre-qualifications are conditional in accordance with their terms as specifically provided in writing signed by the relevant lender or broker.
Credit Reports: By applying for credit, you authorize us to transmit, and consent to your data being provided, to relevant credit agencies and credit report providers, and further authorize us and such parties to create, obtain, store, and transmit a copy of your or your individual client’s credit report. As a result, a “hard” inquiry may appear on the credit report. A hard inquiry may negatively affect a consumer’s credit score. Fees for credit pulls are charged to Subscribers and if passed on as a loan cost, must be disclosed to the consumer in accordance with applicable
federal and state laws. Subscribers are responsible for all related mortgage lending compliance requirements to ensure all fees and costs related to the loan are properly and timely disclosed. If we suspect that you are not in compliance with consumer protection and disclosure requirements, we may terminate your Subscription.
E-Signature: General communications through the Platform do not constitute an agreement on our part or the part of any of our integrated lenders or brokers, unless a specific statement to the contrary is included in the message and specific e-signature procedures are employed. However, by utilizing the Platform, you will be expected to conduct all or certain aspects of your transaction electronically, and your assent to a “click to accept” button or feature affirming your own acceptance, is binding upon you.
Third-Party Service Providers: When making a loan application, or entering into a request for more information prior to applying for a loan, you are agreeing to provide us accurate, current and complete information and you acknowledge that such information will be relied upon to transact your loan application through the Service, by your broker, lender, and our third-party providers.
TERMINATIONWe may terminate or suspend your account and limit access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, in our sole discretion, for any reason whatsoever and without limitation, including for any breach of these Terms.
Individual consumers who wish to terminate your account, may simply discontinue using the Service. See our Privacy Policy for more information regarding our use and retention of your information both during and after termination of your account.

DISCLAIMER; WAIVERYour use of the Service is at your sole risk. The Service is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. The Service is provided without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement or course of performance.

If you are applying for a loan or any other mortgage-related product, you acknowledge and agree that decisions and actions regarding your loan application and receipt of a loan or other mortgage-related product, if any, will be made by the mortgage broker and lender with whom you have voluntarily chosen to work, and not by ARIVE. You acknowledge and agree that ARIVE is not: (a) making any decision or taking any action with respect to your creditworthiness or other qualifications to receive a loan; (b) discriminating, preventing or discouraging you from
submitting an application for any mortgage-related product for which you qualify; or (c) preventing you from contacting directly your mortgage broker and the lender from whom you wish to receive a mortgage-related product, and you hereby waive any and all liability against ARIVE for its provision of the Platform and the Service and for any action or inaction, or any assistance rendered or withheld, by ARIVE during the process of applying for and pursuing a loan or other mortgage-related product.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the limitations above may not apply to you.
GOVERNING LAW; MISCELLANEOUSThese Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any action or claim brought in connection with, or based in any way upon, these Terms, or any other action or claim brought against ARIVE will be brought only in Santa Clara County or Contra Costa County, California.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in effect. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between us regarding our Service and supersede and replace any prior agreements we might have had between us regarding the Service, provided, however, that if you are a Subscriber to the Platform, then the terms and provisions of the Platform Subscription Agreement will supplement these Terms and control in the case of any conflict.
The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall mean without limitation, and any listing thereafter is not exhaustive.
CHANGESWe reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. When we make changes to these Terms, we will post the updated Terms on our website and update the Terms’ effective date. By continuing to access or use our Service thereafter, you agree to be bound by the revised terms. If you do not agree to the new terms, you are no longer authorized to use the Service.
