Welcome to the FRE.com website ("Website").  This User Agreement ("Agreement") describes the terms and conditions applicable to your use of our Website and the services, tools and applications available on the Website. This Agreement is effective between you, LFC Marketing Services, Inc. ("LFC") and its related companies, and is a condition of use each and every time you use the Website as a visitor or registered user ("User"), and upon your acceptance when registering as a User of the Website.

You must read, agree to and accept all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and our Privacy Policy, which include those terms and conditions expressly set out below and those incorporated by reference, before you may use our Website. As you read this Agreement, we strongly recommend that you also access and read the information contained in the other documents referred to in this Agreement and posted on the Website as they may contain further terms and conditions that apply to you as a User of the Website.

IMPORTANT: If you do not agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and our Privacy Policy please do not access the Website or use our services.

1. Website is a Venue. The Website is not an auctioneer; it is a venue. Although it may be referred to as an online auction website, it is important to realize that it is not a traditional auctioneer. Instead, the Website acts as a venue to allow parties to offer, buy and sell real property, securities and financial instruments ("Assets") in an auction-style format commonly referred to as an auction ("Auction"). The role of LFC is limited to publishing and advertising information provided by owners of the Assets ("Sellers") and their agents and providing a venue for communication about the Auction. LFC offers advertising and Auction information only. This Agreement is meant to clarify LFC's limited role as a publisher of advertising and a venue provider and outline certain limitations regarding LFC's obligations and liabilities. Your use of the Website confirms your understanding and acceptance of this User Agreement.

2. LFC Presents Advertisements. LFC's auction-style advertisements do not involve legally binding offers to sell. They are simply a way for Sellers to advertise their assets to potential buyers.

3. LFC Is Not a Licensed Real Estate Agent. LFC does not purport to broker transactions. LFC does not act in the capacity of a real estate professional and, as a result, has no control over the truth or accuracy of the information conveyed or the title, quality or value of the Assets advertised.

LFC is not responsible for and does not engage in the listing, brokering, selling, purchasing, exchanging or leasing of real estate ("Property") posted on the Website;  nor does it provide a "multiple listing service" as that term is traditionally used for real estate. LFC does not counsel Sellers or buyers, show real estate, negotiate sales contracts, or hold a position of trust and confidence. Accordingly, no brokerage agency or fiduciary relationship is intended to be or shall be deemed to have been created between LFC and any Seller or buyer or you regarding the use of the Website. Further, we have no opinion regarding the ability of a Seller to sell specific real estate nor can we ensure that a buyer or Seller will actually complete a transaction.

4. Registration Required. In order to access certain parts of the Website a visitor is required to register as a User, disclosing certain information to LFC. After validation of the registration, the User may log in to the Website to view more information about Auctions, and perform other functions not available to visitors who are not logged in. In this regard, our Privacy Policy is included by reference.

5. Activities Requiring a License. It is the User's responsibility to seek the appropriate representation or accreditation when conducting any activity on the Website that may require a real estate or other license such as bidding, executing a real estate listing agreement, conducting research, placing information on the Website, negotiating with a buyer and/or a Seller or other real estate-related sale activities.  In certain jurisdictions, such activities may only be conducted by companies and individuals who are licensed real estate professionals.

6. Sellers May Be Represented By an Agent. Sellers of Assets on the Website may be represented by an ("Agent"). Sellers and/or their Agents determine the terms and conditions regarding Auctions on the Website. The Agent's listing agreement defines the terms and conditions under which an Asset is offered. LFC is a venue to assist the Seller and the Seller's Agent in marketing their Asset, but provides no services that require a real estate, securities or any license in any jurisdiction.

7. Auction Terms and Conditions Vary. The terms and conditions of each Auction on the Website may vary. It is important that interested parties be familiar with the terms and conditions for each Auction on which they wish to place a bid, are a Seller, Agent or are otherwise involved.

8. Due Diligence. Prospective bidders/buyers are advised and encouraged to perform all necessary due diligence before bidding on an Auction; and all parties are advised and encouraged to seek the help and guidance of a licensed real estate professional, securities dealer, attorney or other suitable professional before bidding on any Auction.

9. Release of Liability. Because LFC is a venue, in the event that you have a dispute with a Seller and/or an Agent, you agree to release LFC and any of its affiliates, officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees, from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such dispute. You acknowledge and understand that all available Auction information was prepared by parties other than LFC, and further acknowledge and understand that LFC makes no representation or warranty whatsoever, express or implied, with respect to the content, completeness or accuracy of the Auction information. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

10. Hold Harmless. User shall defend, and hold harmless LFC and its affiliates from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by LFC as a result of any violation or failure by User to comply with the provisions of this Agreement or any individual or entity to whom it has disclosed information.

11. Termination of Use of Website.
