CRIBBED, LLC

TERMS OF USE

Updated April 9, 2025

Welcome and thank you for your interest in Cribbed, the powerful way to buy and sell real estate without an agent. By accessing our website, mobile app, or other services offered by Cribbed, on www.cribbed.com, as a guest or through a registered user account, you (hereinafter "You" or "Seller" or "Buyer" as the case may be) agree to be bound by the following terms of use ("Terms of Use") and our privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") as updated and revised from time to time. Please read the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy carefully before you start using www.cribbed.com ("Cribbed.com" or the "Website"). These terms of use are entered into by and between You and Cribbed, LLC, and the following terms and conditions govern your access to and use of the Website, including any content, functionality, and services offered on or through the Website, whether as a guest or a registered user.

1. Fair Housing Commitment

Cribbed is fully committed to supporting and upholding the principles of the Fair Housing Act. We do not engage in or condone any business practices that discriminate based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status, or disability, except where explicitly permitted by law (e.g., age-restricted communities).

We encourage all sellers to adhere to fair housing practices and to take personal responsibility for avoiding discriminatory behavior. Cribbed does not display buyer photos until after a showing appointment is accepted, to reduce bias. Listing descriptions should focus on the property itself — not the people who might live there — except in lawful cases like 55+ communities.

2. Cribbed's Role

Cribbed, LLC ("We," the "Company," or "Cribbed") provides a self-service marketing platform — not licensed real estate brokerage. Our tools, tips, and materials are non-transaction-specific and offered for informational purposes only.

Users retain control of all pricing, offers, negotiations, and legal decisions. We strongly encourage consultation with licensed professionals.

We do not:

• Represent buyers or sellers.
• Negotiate contracts or inspection items.
• Buy, sell, lease, or rent property.
• List properties on the MLS.
• Receive any commission.

Our support includes marketing, administrative tools, and staging resources. Analytics are general and automated.

3. Access and Eligibility

3.a. Website Availability

 We may withdraw or amend access at any time without notice. We are not liable for temporary outages or restrictions.

3.b. Registration and Age Limit

 You must be 18+ and a U.S. resident to use Cribbed. All information you provide must be accurate and governed by our Privacy Policy.

3.c. Account Security

 You’re responsible for your username and password. Notify us immediately of unauthorized access.

3.d. Mobile Use

 Mobile data charges may apply. Mobile apps may update automatically. Open-source elements are governed by applicable licenses.

4. Accounts and Fees

4.a. Account Creation

 You may choose to create a Cribbed account ("Account"), which grants you access to the Website. An active account is not required for some features such as accessing informational content or browsing listings. However, functions like messaging, booking appointments, submitting offers, and paying for services require an Account.

4.b. Payment Terms

 By creating a listing on Cribbed.com, you agree to pay the fees associated with the service package you select at registration. You authorize Cribbed to charge your selected payment method for the full amount.

All listings remain active for six (6) months from publication. If your home does not sell within that time and you do not cancel your listing, it will automatically renew month-to-month at $50 per month until cancelled by you via your account dashboard or written notice.

You acknowledge and agree that Cribbed may continue to charge your payment method for renewals unless you cancel. No refunds are given for charges incurred after the initial term, unless required by law.

4.c. Deferred Payment Option

 You may choose to defer part of your listing fee for up to six months or until closing — whichever comes first — only if First American Title or TitleVest is used as settlement agent.

A nonrefundable deposit is required upfront. The deferred portion is paid at closing via the title company. Deferred pricing is higher than upfront pricing and is disclosed clearly in the checkout process.

If you cancel before closing, your deferred balance becomes immediately due, and you authorize Cribbed to charge your payment method.

5. Property Listings and Responsibilities

5.a. Listing Content

 You are solely responsible for all information, photos, videos, disclosures, and offers in your listing ("Seller Content"). Cribbed hosts your listing but does not verify its accuracy. You must ensure that all details — including description, legal disclosures, and marketing content — are truthful and accurate.

5.b. Pricing

 You set the price of your home. Any pricing tools or guidance offered by Cribbed are non-specific and informational only.

5.c. Listing Updates

 You must keep your listing updated. If the status or condition of your property changes, you must promptly update your listing content.

5.d. Signage and Installations

 When you request signs, you are responsible for informing us of any gate codes, access limitations, hazards, sprinkler systems, or other relevant access issues. Failure to provide this information may result in additional fees for re-attempts.

5.e. Sign Responsibilities

 Signs provided as part of your package are loaned and must be returned upon listing closure or cancellation. Lost or unreturned signs are subject to replacement fees:

• Sign Post: $200
• Sign Post and Panel: $250
• Sign Riders (each): $25
• Open House Directional Sign with Stake (each): $35

Any account holder who orders signage is responsible, even if not the seller.

6. Buyer Registration Encouragement

 To maximize your experience and maintain full functionality within Cribbed.com, you should encourage any interested buyer who is not yet registered to create an account on the platform. This ensures that buyer communications, scheduling, and information tracking remain centralized and efficient within your listing dashboard.

7. Compliance with Local Laws, Customs, and Regulations

 You are solely responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, customs, regulations, and ordinances that may impact the marketing, sale, or transfer of your property. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Attorney involvement in closings
• Transfer taxes
• Utility readings and payments
• Signage regulations
• Disclosure obligations
• Fair housing laws

Laws and requirements can vary significantly by state, city, or even neighborhood. If any materials, templates, or guidance provided by Cribbed conflict with applicable local rules or ordinances, you agree not to use them and to rely instead on guidance consistent with your local requirements.

8. Account Deactivation and No Refund Policy

8.a. Account Deactivation

 You may deactivate your Cribbed account at any time by calling 833-856-2343 or emailing [email protected].

8.b. Listing Cancellation

 You may cancel your active listing at any time by clicking “Cancel Listing” within the Listing Builder dashboard or by contacting us directly via phone or email. If you wish to reinstate a cancelled listing, it may be subject to a reinstatement fee. If you selected a deferred payment option at signup, any remaining balance will become immediately due upon cancellation.

8.c. No Refund Policy

 All account and listing fees are non-refundable, including in cases of account deactivation or listing cancellation, regardless of listing activity or outcome.

9. No Guarantee of Sale or Purchase

By using Cribbed, you acknowledge that you are not paying for results, and we make no guarantees that your property will sell or that you will successfully purchase a home.

The outcome of any real estate transaction depends on numerous factors — many of which are entirely within your control — including, but not limited to:

• Listing or purchase price
• Property condition and showing availability
• Market demand and timing
• Offer terms, contingencies, and financing

Cribbed provides access to best-in-class marketing tools and technology, but we do not represent you, negotiate on your behalf, or influence buyer or seller decisions. As such, the Company assumes no responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by users in connection with our services or information available on the Website.

You are paying a flat fee for access to a professional platform designed to empower homeowners with marketing tools comparable to those used by top agents — without paying commission.

10. Platinum Buyers

Platinum Buyer badges are issued based on the good faith belief that the buyer’s self-reported information in the Cribbed platform — including pre-approval and proof of funds — is accurate and consistent with the supporting documentation uploaded.

However, Cribbed does not independently verify the authenticity or completeness of buyer-submitted financial documents. When receiving an offer, it is the seller’s sole responsibility to review and verify any proof of funds or pre-approval documentation to their own satisfaction before proceeding.
