ALL REQUESTED MLS LISTING CHANGES MUST BE SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY IN THE ‘MLS LISTING’ SECTION.

THE ONLY RECOURSE AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT THAT YOU OBJECT TO ANY CHANGES IN MLS LISTING SERVICES IS TO DISCONTINUE THE USE OF THE MLS LISTING SERVICES.

PAYMENTS AND TERMS

homecoin.com and the third-party vendors offering services through homecoin.com may offer alternative payment options, defined as follows:

  1. Pay Later:

    Customer agrees to pay the amount due at the earlier of either:

    1. the expiration of the time period shown, or
    2. the closing (or transfer of title) of the applicable transaction for which the product/service was ordered.

    For example, if the third-party vendor offered Pay Later terms of 6 months to a property seller and the property sold 9 months later, then the payment would have been due 6 months after the product/service was ordered, despite the fact that the property had not yet sold. Alternatively, had the property sold 2 months after the product/service was ordered, then the payment would be due immediately upon the closing of the sale (at 2 months).

  2. Pay at Close:

    Customer agrees to pay the amount due only in the event of a closing (or transfer of title) of the applicable transaction for which the product/service was ordered. If a valid MLS Listing Agreement exists between a third-party vendor and a customer, then the requirement to pay shall cease to exist at the cancellation or expiration of the MLS Listing Agreement (or any extension of). In the event that a valid MLS Listing Agreement is not in place between the third-party vendor and a customer, then the requirement to pay at the closing (or transfer of title) of the applicable transaction for which the product/service was ordered shall expire 6 months after the date the product/service was provided.

    For example, if the third-party vendor offered Pay at Close terms to a property seller and there was not a MLS Listing Agreement in place, and the property sold 9 months after the product/service was provided by the third-party vendor, then there would be no payment made since 6 months had passed and the property transaction had not closed (or title transferred). Alternatively, had the property sold 2 months after the product/service was ordered, then the payment would be due immediately upon the closing of the sale (at 2 months). Alternatively, if the third-party vendor offered Pay at Close terms to a property seller and there was a 12 month MLS Listing Agreement in place and the property sold after 11 months (during the MLS Listing Agreement effective period), then the seller would pay the third-party vendor for the product/service provided.
