You may only purchase Leads once your account has been activated and there are sufficient funds on deposit in your user account to purchase the Leads you choose. A minimum order of $100 is required. All Leads sold by us are non-exclusive and may be sold to multiple brokers according to filtering criteria established by individual brokers and the Lead data itself. 8.2. If you decide to buy Leads, the price for the Leads will be based on our pricing schedule in effect at the time you buy the Leads.

YOUR PURCHASE IS A BINDING CONTRACT subject to the guarantee, return, refund policies and other terms set forth in this Terms of Service Agreement and in your Broker Request.

In the event you breach this term and you charge back your credit card for all or partial amounts within your account, you will be charged an administrative service fee of one hundred ($100) dollars, which you agree to pay in addition to the amount of the Lead purchase fee due for Leads you have received to the date of the chargeback. Your user account balance will not reflect a deposit made until your credit card company has processed your payment into our merchant account. This date may differ from the date you actually authorize your payment. 9.1.2. Check or Draft: If you use a check, including a fax check, you agree to not stop payment on the check for any reason. If you are dissatisfied with our services or any Lead or Leads you have purchased using your check or draft you must follow the return/refund policy and procedures set forth in this Terms of Service Agreement. If your check or draft is not honored by the bank for any reason, you are subject to and will be charged a return check fee equal to three (3) times the face value of the check up to a maximum of one hundred ($100) dollars, which you agree to pay in addition to the check face amount. Your user account balance may not reflect a deposit made into your user account until your check has been deposited into our bank account, processed and has cleared your bank. This date may differ from the date you send your payment or the date we receive your check. ALL CHECKS MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A CLEAR COPY OF A VALID DRIVERS LICENSE FOR THE SIGNER OF THE CHECK. 9.1.3. PayPal: If you use PayPal, payments are to be made to our PayPal vendor account at webmaster@directmediagroup.com.

In any of the above circumstances, you also agree to pay any collection costs and reasonable attorney fees and court costs should collection action be initiated. 10. LEAD DELIVERY. 10.1. For Brokers that we determine meet our Eligibility Criteria, Leads shall be provided pursuant to the parameters defined in your initial Broker Request and according to the filtering criteria you may from time-to-time select. Leads may be retrieved by Brokers by logging into their account located on the Selectyourlead.com Web Site. Specific contact information for the Consumers described in the Lead descriptions will be provided only upon payment for the same. We shall have no responsibility for any service or server outages or failure of Broker's Internet access. 10.2. We define a "day" as follows: Each 24 hour period beginning at 12:01 A.M. Eastern Standard Time on a day through 12:00 midnight that day shall be considered one day. 10.3. When a Lead is posted to the Selectyourlead.com Web Site, it is given a "0" days old designation. The Selectyourlead.com Web Site will track how many days each Lead has been posted on the site. 11. LEAD CONTENT AND GUARANTEE. 11.1. We guarantee each Lead to be a Valid Lead as defined in the "Definitions" section of this Agreement. We will credit to your account the amount you paid for any Lead that is subsequently shown to be an Invalid Lead as defined in prior sections of this Agreement according to our standard Lead dispute and refund policy set forth in this Agreement. 11.2. Data provided within a Lead is inputted solely by third party Lead providers and not us or anyone affiliated with us. Consumers do not submit their contact information directly to us. We do not guarantee the age of the data contained in a Lead, the age of the consumer's Opt-In request or with whom they originally submitted their Opt-in contact information or that the consumer, when contacted, will remember submitting their contact information on an Opt-in request. We do not guarantee that their email address is correct or that their stated home value, requested loan amount, credit quality, or interest rate is exactly correct as these are estimates entered by the consumer when completing the application. How you approach and handle each Lead is up to you and not under our control. As such, WE DO NOT GUARANTEE YOUR RESULTS OR THAT YOU WILL CLOSE ANY LOANS WITH OUR LEADS. Since our Leads are non-exclusive, the Consumer may have started a loan process with another broker or loan officer, so this is not a valid reason for a dispute, refund or credit. Similarly, Consumers often will change their mind after they submit a request for contact and thus not be willing to apply for a loan with you, so this is not a valid reason for a dispute, refund or credit. We recommend contacting the customer as soon as you get the Lead so you can be the first to earn their business. 11.3. We reserve the right to change or adjust this policy without prior notice to you. You are therefore encouraged to review this Terms of Service Agreement periodically. 12. LEAD RETURN POLICY. 12.1. Refunds (credited to your account) shall be provided for Invalid Leads, however refunds shall not be provided for Leads where Consumers have elected not to use Broker's services. You hereby agree to notify us by going to the "View Leads" section after logging into your account at Selectyourlead.com and clicking on "View Leads and insert the Lead identification number and reason for returning the Lead. This must be done within three (3) days of the Lead's delivery to Broker. 12.2. We reserve the right to monitor your disputes and returns to determine their validity. We reserve the right to verify that your dispute is rational and in our sole discretion, determine if your dispute is valid. In the event your dispute is determined to be without merit, the charge for the Valid Lead will stand against your account and no credit will be issued. You will be notified via your account report of our actions to accept or deny your dispute within ten (10) working days of receipt of your dispute. 12.3. We reserve the right to change or adjust this policy without prior notice to you. You are therefore encouraged to review this Terms of Service Agreement periodically. 13. REFUND/CREDIT POLICY. 13.1. ALL REFUNDS ARE SUBJECT TO THE LEAD DATA QUALITY GUARANTEES AND RETURN POLICY STATED IN PREVIOUS SECTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS WILL BE PROCESSED OR ISSUED BASED UPON AN E-MAIL REQUEST OR VOICE TELEPHONE MESSAGE. NO EXCEPTIONS. 13.2. Credits are offered ONLY in 3 circumstances: 13.2.1. A credit to your account will be given if your account was charged for a delivery of a Lead and through no fault of yours, we cannot deliver that Lead as promised herein. 13.2.2. A credit to your account will be given if you were over-billed due to a technical error. 13.2.3. A credit to your account will be given in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for Invalid Leads. Please allow up to fourteen (14) business days to process refunds once we have received your written request. 14. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The data form provided to you by us is proprietary to us and thus provided to you in confidence and for your individual business use only under this contract. YOU AGREE TO KEEP ALL LEAD DATA CONFIDENTIAL. You agree to use the Lead data provided only for the business purpose contemplated under this Agreement. The terms of this section shall survive the termination of your relationship with us. 15. USER'S RESPONSIBILITIES. You agree that you will not use Leads for any unauthorized use including but not limited to chain letters, junk mail, "spamming", telephone solicitations in violation of any state or federal Do-Not-Call registry, or as a basis for any use or distribution lists to any person who has not given specific permission to be included in such a process. You further agree not to use Leads to send any messages or materials that are unlawful, considered an act(s) against public policy, discrimination of any kind, harassing, libelous, abusive, threatening, harmful, vulgar, obscene or otherwise constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise objectionable material of any kind or nature or that encourages conduct that could constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national or international law or regulation.
