2. Service-Specific Terms

Certain terms and conditions are specific to certain of our Services. We’ve broken those out below.

2.1 Invitations to Request an Offer

An Offer Preview, Preliminary Offer, and Estimated Offer, are estimates of a Yardsworth Offer (see 2.2.1 below). These estimates are not appraisals. They are invitations for you to request a Yardsworth Offer.

These estimates are calculated using publicly-available information and Yardsworth’s proprietary valuation model. It typically takes into account hundreds of data sets related to your home and its location.

2.2 Selling to Yardsworth

2.2.1 Yardsworth Offers

A Yardsworth Offer is an offer by Yardsworth to purchase a portion of a home’s land (a lot). You will be eligible to receive a Yardsworth Offer after you provide us with information about your home and (i) you are the owner or represent the owner of the home, (ii) the home is in one of our service areas, (iii) the home meets our current land-buying parameters, which may change from time to time for a given service area under our sole discretion and (iv) we have had an opportunity to assess your property.

A Yardsworth Offer is not an appraisal. It is the purchase price Yardsworth is willing to pay for a portion of your land, subject to additional terms, conditions, and fees outlined in the offer.

In the event that Yardsworth makes you an offer on your land, Yardsworth is not acting as your real estate agent or broker; nor does Yardsworth represent you in any capacity as a seller. Yardsworth is merely acting as, or on behalf of, a purchaser of real estate. As a seller, you have the right, and it is your responsibility, to independently evaluate and decide whether to accept the Yardsworth Offer.

2.4 Buying a Yardsworth Property

2.4.1 As-Is Conveyance

If you contract to purchase a home from Yardsworth (“Seller”), you (“Buyer”) agree to the following additional terms and conditions regarding your purchase of the lot or home (the “Property”). In the event of any conflict with the terms of the Purchase and Sale Contract (“Purchase Contract”) governing the purchase of the Property, the Purchase Contract shall prevail.

Seller has provided Buyer with an opportunity to inspect the Property, and strongly encourages Buyer to seek an inspection on the Property by a licensed home inspector. Buyer further recognizes Seller has not resided in the Property and has limited knowledge thereof. Accordingly, to the fullest extent permitted by law and under the terms of the Purchase Contract:

BUYER AGREES THAT BUYER IS ACQUIRING THE PROPERTY ON AN “AS IS, AND WITH ALL FAULTS BASIS” WITHOUT REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR COVENANTS OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO THE QUALITY, PHYSICAL CONDITION OR VALUE OF THE PROPERTY, THE PRESENCE OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES IN OR NEAR THE PROPERTY, OR EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROPERTY.

BUYER WAIVES ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY AS TO BUILDABILITY, HABITABILITY AND/OR, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY AS TO THE WORKMANSHIP OF ANY REPAIRS OR MODIFICATIONS PERFORMED ON THE PROPERTY.

BUYER AGREES IT HAS HAD AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL COUNSEL OF ITS CHOOSING, AND IS RELYING SOLELY ON ITS OWN INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT AND THAT OF ITS OWN PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANTS, IF ANY, IN ENTERING INTO THE PURCHASE CONTRACT AND PURCHASING THE PROPERTY.

BUYER WILL CONDUCT SUCH INSPECTIONS OF THE PROPERTY AS BUYER DEEMS NECESSARY AND, IF BUYER ELECTS TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY, AND AGREES TO ASSUME THE RISK OF ANY ADVERSE CONDITIONS, INCLUDING ADVERSE CONDITIONS THAT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN REVEALED BY SUCH INSPECTIONS.

2.5 Current Yardsworth Promotions

Please note that, from time to time, we may advertise estimates of what customers can receive pursuant to a given Yardsworth promotion. However, the final amounts you will receive, if eligible, will depend on factors like the final price of the home you buy or sell, as well as other associated costs like agent commissions. Consult with your Yardsworth representative for more details as to how these promotions apply to your home sale or purchase. Unless otherwise stated, Yardsworth promotions may not be combined.
