| General
Builder Homesite, Inc. ("BHI") is pleased to give you access
to its New Retirement Communities Website, newretirementcommunities.com (the "Site"), free of charge. Your use of the Site, and all information,
products and services on this Site (collectively, the "Services")
are subject to the binding legal terms set forth below ("Terms").
You understand we may update these Terms from time to time
without giving you any notice. Unless we let you know by
giving you notice, any new features or updated Services that
we put on the Site will be subject to these Terms. BY USING
THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO EACH OF THE TERMS SET FORTH BELOW.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY TERM OR CONDITION SET FORTH
BELOW, DO NOT USE THE SERVICES FOR ANY PURPOSE. The Site
contains links to other Websites. Your use of such other
Websites is subject to the terms of use, if any, contained
within each such Website. If there is any conflict between
the Terms set forth below and any terms or notices set forth
on any other Website, then the terms of such other Website
will control your use of that Website. Please review the
terms of use for each Website so that you understand all
of the terms that will apply.
In order to use the Services, you need Internet access. You
also need equipment to access the Services, including computer,
modem and other devices. You are responsible for the costs
of your Internet access and the equipment needed, and BHI
is not responsible for any of these costs. Some parts of
the Site may contain mature or adult content intended for
people who are at least 18 years old. If you view this adult
content, we understand that you are telling us that you are
at least 18 years old and that the material you are viewing
is acceptable to you. Parental control protections (such
as computer hardware, software or filtering services) are
commercially available that may assist parents in limiting
access to content that may be harmful to minors.
Although we attempt to make sure all of the information on
the Site, including but not limited to price, square footage,
elevation and floorplan images, and lot size, is accurate,
by continuing to use this Site, you acknowledge, understand
and agree that it may not be current, accurate, or complete
and that Builder Homesite, Inc. and its suppliers do not
warrant or guarantee such accuracy. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE
FOR INDEPENDENTLY VERIFYING ALL INFORMATION ON THE SITE BEFORE
RELYING ON THAT INFORMATION IN ANY MANNER.
Privacy
Any information that we may collect from you during your
use of the Site is subject to our Privacy Policy. We
encourage you to read and understand our Privacy Policy
which can be accessed at Privacy Policy.
Registration
If you decide to become a registered user of the Site, you
will be asked to give us some information about yourself.
If you are not registered with us, please register and
become eligible for our enhanced membership benefits.
During the registration process, you agree to give us true,
accurate and complete information about yourself, and to
promptly update this information when it changes. If you
do not update it, we may suspend or terminate your use of
the Site as explained below. Any personal information that
you provide to us is subject to the terms of our Privacy
Policy.
Account Information and Password Protection
When you register, you will be assigned your email address
as your user name and you will select a password so that
you can access your account with us. You agree that you
will keep this information confidential. You are completely
responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your
password and for all activities undertaken with your
account and password. You agree to log off of the Services
at the end of each session to prevent fraud on your account
by third parties. If you think there has been unauthorized
use of your account or password, you agree to immediately
notify BHI and cooperate with us to resolve it. You understand
that if you do not follow the terms of this paragraph,
we may suspend or terminate your use of this Site as
explained below. You understand that we are not responsible
in any way, and will not be liable to you or to any third
person, if you do not comply with the terms of this paragraph.
How You Can Use the Services
You may use the Services on the Site for your personal, non-commercial
use. You may make a single copy of the individual screens
you see when you use the Services, but only for your
personal, non-commercial use, and not for further distribution
or transfer to others. You may not-and agree not to-modify,
reformat, copy, display, distribute, transmit, publish,
license, create derivative works from, transfer or sell
any information, products or services obtained from the
Services, except as set forth in this Agreement.
No License Granted
Except for allowing you to use the Site for your personal
use as set forth in the paragraph above, when you use
the Site you are not receiving a license or any other
rights from us, including intellectual property or other
proprietary rights of BHI. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE
NO RIGHTS TO THE SERVICES OR ANY OTHER BHI PROPERTY EXCEPT
AS INDICATED IN THIS AGREEMENT.
Protecting Children
The safety of children is very important to us. BHI is a
general audience Website that complies with the Children's
Online Privacy Protection Act. When a child under age
13 attempts to register with BHI, we ask that they have
a parent or guardian establish an account. This is to
ensure that the parent or guardian consents to the collection
and use of personally identifying information from that
child. If a parent wishes to refuse to permit further
collection or use of their child's information by BHI,
that parent can send an e-mail to us at support@newretirementcommunities.com to
request deletion of their child's account.
BHI strives to create a truly safe place for children on the
Internet and over the airwaves. Parental control protections
(such as computer hardware, software or filtering services)
are commercially available that may assist parents in limiting
access to content that may be harmful to minors.
Housing for Older Persons
The Fair Housing Act prohibits certain forms of discrimination including discrimination against
households with children under the age of 18. This prohibition does not
apply to "housing for older persons". Generally, "housing for older
persons" falls into two categories: housing intended for, and solely occupied
by persons 62 years of age or older; and housing that meets certain
requirements including that at least 80% of the units are occupied by at least
one person who is at least 55 years old. Some sellers who provide
listings to NewRetirementCommunities.com represent to us that they fall under
one of these exceptions, and consequently may restrict occupancy based on
certain age restrictions. In an effort to assist buyers,
NewRetirementCommunities.com identifies those communities that are age
restricted. To find the community that best suits your needs, look for
the "age qualified" and "all ages" indicators on each listing or community
detail page

On some parts of our Site, you may be allowed to post or
