NFM does not provide legal advice concerning the suitability or legal completeness of Your Loan Documents for Your particular transaction or jurisdiction.

You are advised to have all Loan Documents reviewed and approved by qualified legal counsel and financial advisors, making such modifications as the attorney or advisor recommends. The law and lending practices change rapidly and differ between states and jurisdictions. The WEBSITE information, Forms, and Templates therefore cannot fit every transaction. We do not review the Loan Documents or any Form information You input for accuracy or legal sufficiency, draw legal conclusions, provide legal advice, opinions or recommendations about Your legal rights, remedies, defenses, options, selection of Templates, or strategies, or apply the law to the facts of Your particular situation or transaction. You accept full responsibility for complying with applicable laws and regulations

All Templates are derived from standardized, uniform, state specific templates jointly approved and maintained by Fannie Mae ® (Federal National Mortgage Association) and Freddie Mac ® (Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation), and as also used in the majority of all U.S. residential real estate transactions.

We do not influence Your selection of these available Templates.

The Fannie Mae ® and Freddie Mac ® standardized, uniform templates NFM provides access to include:

A. Promissory Notes
B. Security Instruments (Mortgage, Deed of Trust, Security Deed)
C. Riders & Addenda

Fannie Mae ® is a U.S. government-sponsored enterprise, publicly traded since 1968, and is a leading source of mortgage financing in all markets and at all times.

Your loan will not be Fannie Mae ® or Freddie Mac ® insured.

For example, NFM may confirm details of the Borrower’s settlement or other aspects of the loan process, including by communicating with a Borrower, Lender or Third Party Representative, or by communicating with a prospective Borrower, Lender, or Third Party Representative about those arrangements.

NFM highlights third party servicing for Customers who want to have their loan professionally managed, including with FCI Lender Services, Inc..

NFM Customers are under no obligation have their family mortgage loan serviced by FCI Lender Services, Inc., or by any other such service provider.

If NFM Customers elect to have their loan professionally managed by FCI Lender Services, or by any other such service provider, with you, or Borrower’s or Lender’s authorization, NFM may assist with helping trouble-shoot limited Loan Servicing administrative requests for loans not in default. Such limited Loan Servicing related administrative help typically include:

C. Instructing the easiest way to obtain annual IRS Tax Forms from Loan Servicer

6.2. Legal Property Description or Basic Property Report and Priority of Liens

NFM may obtain a placeholder legal property description and/or Basic Property Report from a Third Party Provider, for the purpose of assisting You with creating the Loan Documents. If or when the Loan Documents are used in Your loan closing, You or Your settlement agent or Third Party Representative shall ensure that a final and legally correct Legal Description, an exact match with the Deed and/or Title Insurance Policies issued in connection with the loan transaction, is attached to the Mortgage, Deed of Trust, or Security Deed. You and Borrower or Lender and the settlement agent or Third Party Representative is responsible for recording the Mortgage, Deed of Trust, Security Deed, with the proper government authority. Title Insurance also remains Your responsibility, in consultation with the settlement agent or Third Party Representative.

THE PLACEHOLDER LEGAL PROPERTY DESCRIPTION AND/OR BASIC PROPERTY REPORT IS NOT INTENDED TO, AND DOES NOT, PROVIDE INFORMATION REGARDING THE LEGAL STATUS OF ANY SPECIFIC PARCEL OF REAL PROPERTY; THEY DO NOT PROVIDE ANY PROTECTION FROM POTENTIAL LEGAL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE TITLE OF THE REAL ESTATE; AND NFM DOES NOT GUARANTEE OR WARRANT THEIR ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OR THE PRIORITY OR POSITION OF ANY LIEN ON REAL PROPERTY, AT ANY TIME, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. SUCH PROTECTION IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IN CONNECTION WITH SECURING A FULL TITLE SEARCH AND/OR PURCHASING TITLE INSURANCE, WHICH NFM RECOMMENDS.

6.3. Automated Valuation

For the Caregiver Mortgage ®, NFM may obtain an electronic automated valuation of the subject property from an outside provider. This home valuation is an estimated market value, computed using a proprietary formula, and it is not an appraisal but rather a starting point in estimating a home’s value.

NFM DOES NOT GUARANTEE OR WARRANT THE ACCURACY OF THE AUTOMATED VALUATION.

We encourage You and Borrower or Lender to supplement the Automated Valuation by arranging for other research, such as (without limitation):

• Securing a comparative market analysis (CMA) from a real estate agent

• actual or purported class action litigation in which You are not a member of a certified class; and
• claims that may arise prior to entering into, or following termination of, these Terms of Use.

The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or JAMS in accordance with their respective Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules” or the “JAMS Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. The Federal Arbitration Act and the Massachusetts Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section.

ARBITRATION DEMAND

To initiate arbitration, You or NFM must provide the other with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules or the JAMS Rules. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in Massachusetts, and will be mutually selected by NFM and You from the AAA’s or JAMS’ roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within ten (10) business days of delivery of the written Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA or JAMS will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with their respective rules.

ARBITRATION LOCATION AND PROCEDURE

Unless You and NFM otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in Suffolk or Middlesex County, Massachusetts. If the claim does not exceed $25,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents You and NFM submit to the arbitrator, unless You or NFM request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If Your claim exceeds $25,000, Your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules or JAMS Rules. Subject thereto, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. Depositions will not be allowed in any event unless ordered by the arbitrator based on a showing of good cause. An arbitration hearing may take place by Zoom, unless the arbitrator concludes that in-person hearing is necessary or appropriate for the particular matter or witness concerned.

ARBITRATOR’S DECISION

The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules or JAMS Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any Massachusetts court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Suffolk or Middlesex Counties. The arbitrator’s award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section above as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claim. Each party shall bear his/her/its own costs for the arbitration, including for attorney’s fees. The prevailing (or substantially prevailing) party shall not be entitled to an award of attorney’s fees or costs except as otherwise provided by law, including (without limitation) Mass. Gen. L. c. 231, Sec. 6F.

ARBITRATION FEES

You agree that each party will be responsible for its own costs, including paying any filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with the applicable rules.
