CONSUMER INFORMATION SECURITY POLICY
While no data transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, LENDERLINE® understands your concerns with the safety of your personal information. The following is a summary of the measures LENDERLINE® takes to protect your information and descriptions of ways we implement these measures for different types of information you may provide to us.
Secure Web Pages and Encryption
LENDERLINE® uses well-known and vetted security technologies to protect your data and transmissions between you, LENDERLINE®, banks, loan brokers and real estate professionals participating in the LENDERLINE® Websites. Transmissions between LENDERLINE®, banks, lenders, loan brokers and real estate professionals are encrypted using public key cryptography algorithms with a minimum key size of 128 bits. Those pages on the Websites that ask for your personal financial information are delivered to your browser through HTTPS, a secure server communications layer. Transmission between your browser and our web server, including when you send your personal financial information to us, is implemented using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. SSL encrypts it, making the information unreadable by anyone except LENDERLINE®. SSL does not allow anyone to intercept and read your personal information; only we can decode the encryption. This technology requires any modern web browser such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari or Opera. You can verify that your communications with LENDERLINE® are secure by checking for the key or lock icon on your browser. If your browser’s security feature has been turned on, a pop up box will notify you when you enter a secure page. Another important information security measure in place throughout the Websites is the timeout feature. This feature will log you out if there has been no activity within a specified amount of time.
Firewall Protection
Firewalls are special purpose devices that protect and screen-out malicious attempts to access information and networks. LENDERLINE® deploys firewalls at several points in its environment, including between you and the webserver, the database servers, and LENDERLINE®’s internal production networks.
OUR SERVICES
LENDERLINE® offers several services, each of which is explained in more detail below.
• The first service option is our Standard Application process that occurs when you complete a traditional full-form Uniform Residential Loan Application (1003) and get matched with Lenders who will respond with conditional loan offers.
• The second service option is our DECISIONLINE™ service, which you may use prior to or after completing our Standard Application process. If you select the DECISIONLINE™ service, we will match you with Lenders on the LENDERLINE® network using a subset of the information contained on our Standard Application process to determine mortgage eligibility based on the Lenders’ underwriting guidelines, and we will provide you with the resulting information through our Website. Because these matches are generated from a subset of information from the full-form loan request, the Lenders on the LENDERLINE® network will not be able to respond with customized offers until they speak with you to get additional information. The DECISIONLINE™ service is not available for all loan programs.
• The third service option is our RATELINE™ service, which you may use prior to or after completing our Standard Application process. If you select the RATELINE™ service, we will match you with Lenders on the LENDERLINE® network using a subset of the information contained on our Standard Application process to obtain real-time mortgage rates, and we will provide you with the resulting information through our Website. Because these matches are generated from a subset of information from the Standard Application process, the Lenders on the LENDERLINE® network will not be able to respond with customized offers until they speak with you to get additional information. The RATELINE™ service is not available for all loan programs.
• The fourth service option is our RATETRACKER™ service, which you may prior to or after completing the Standard Application process. If you select the RATETRACKER™ service, we will match you with Lenders on the LENDERLINE® network using a subset of the information contained on the Standard Application process to obtain updates to mortgage rates, and we will provide you with the resulting information via email. Because these matches are generated from a subset of information from the Standard Application process, the Lenders on the LENDERLINE® network will not be able to respond with customized offers until they speak with you to get additional information. The RATETRACKER™ service is not available for all loan programs.
• The fifth service option is a “Closing Costs Calculator” service. This service is being provided by Closing.com®. If you select the Closing Costs Calculator service, Closing.com® will match you with settlement service Providers via their proprietary SmartClosing™ calculator through our Website. The settlement service Providers will not be able to respond with customized offers until they speak with you to get additional information. The Closing Costs Calculator service may not include all settlement service Providers.

• The sixth service option is the LENDERLINE® “Find a REALTOR®” service. If you use the Find a REALTOR® service, we will match you with real estate agents and brokers on the LENDERLINE® network, and we will provide you with the resulting information through our Website. Because these matches are generated from only those real estate agents and brokers that have completed the registration process on the LENDERLINE® Websites, this service may not include all real estate agents and brokers that provide services in the requested area. The real estate agents and brokers on the LENDERLINE® network will not be able to respond with customized offers until they speak with you to get additional information.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the use of the Websites, to the goods or services provided by LENDERLINE®, or to any acts or omissions for which you may contend LENDERLINE® is liable, including but not limited to any claim or controversy as to arbitrability (“Dispute”), shall be finally, and exclusively, settled by arbitration. The arbitration shall be held before one arbitrator under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in force at that time. The arbitration shall be venued in Orange County, California. The arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the AAA rules. Should no AAA rule regarding the selection of an arbitrator be in effect, the consumer shall select an arbitrator from a panel of arbitrators acceptable to LENDERLINE®. In any arbitration, LENDERLINE® will pay the filing fee, plus the costs associated with the first day of arbitration, with the remaining costs of arbitration paid by the non-prevailing party. To begin the arbitration process, a party must make a written demand therefor.
Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction in Orange County, California. The arbitrators shall not have the power to award damages in connection with any Dispute in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, and each party irrevocably waives any claim thereto, except in Maine where state law will control all rights and remedies in the arbitration. The agreement to arbitrate shall not be construed as an agreement to the joinder or consolidation of an arbitration under this agreement with an arbitration of disputes or claims of any non-party, regardless of the nature of the issues or disputes involved. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under this Agreement shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this Agreement, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise.
THIS AGREEMENT PROVIDES THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LENDERLINE® WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU THUS GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS. YOU ALSO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN OR BRING CLASS ACTIONS. YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE DETERMINED BY NEUTRAL ARBITRATORS AND NOT A JUDGE OR JURY. You are entitled to a fair hearing, and the arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court. Arbitrator decisions are enforceable as any court order and are subject to very limited review by a court. By using LENDERLINE®’s goods, facilities and services, you consent to these restrictions.
Should a Dispute arise and should the arbitration provisions herein become inapplicable or unenforceable, or in any instance of any lawsuit between you and LENDERLINE®, the parties agree that jurisdiction over and venue of any suit shall be exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in Orange County, California. If either party employs attorneys to enforce any right in connection with any Dispute or lawsuit, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees.

This Agreement shall be subject to and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflict of laws principles. If any part of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision, and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in effect. A printed version of this Agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.
