4. THIRD PARTY SERVICES

Third Party Processors

We use financial information to process your transaction, to improve and expand our service, and to determine your financial health. If you register as a borrower, we will use financial information about you to facilitate your loan request and service your loan. We use this information to process your loan application or transaction and enable payments and fund transfers with financial institutions. If you consent to have NAF request your financial information directly from your financial institution, we may work with a third party to access and collect such information on our behalf.

Software

Company's Websites and Apps may use the Google Maps API, Google Places API Google Geocoding API, Google Geolocation API, Google Street View Static API, Google Maps Elevation API, and/or other Google offerings. Google's Privacy Policy is incorporated herein by reference.

5. OPT-OUT PREFERENCE SIGNALS

The Sites recognize the Global Privacy Control ("GPC") signal. If you are using a browser setting or plug-in that sends an opt-out preference signal to each website you visit, we will treat that as a valid request to opt out. To download and use a browser supporting the GPC browser signal, click here: https://globalprivacycontrol.org/orgs. If you choose to use the GPC signal, you will need to turn it on for each supported browser or browser extension you use.

Some internet browsers incorporate a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Given that there is not a uniform way that browsers communicate the "Do Not Track" signal, the Sites do not currently interpret, respond to, or alter their practices when they receive "Do Not Track" signals.

6. SECURITY

We maintain commercially reasonable security measures to protect the personal data we collect and store from loss, misuse, destruction, or unauthorized access. However, no security measure or modality of data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. Although we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. THIRD PARTY LINKS

The Sites may contain links that will let you leave the Sites and access another website. Linked websites are not under our control. We accept no responsibility or liability for these other websites.

8. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

The Sites and Services are not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal data from children under 13.

9. NOTICE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 ("CCPA"), requires that we provide California residents with a privacy policy that contains a comprehensive description of our online and offline practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, sale, sharing, and retention of personal information and of the rights of California residents regarding their personal information. This section of the Privacy Policy is intended solely for, and is applicable only as to, California residents. If you are not a California resident, this section does not apply to you and you should not rely on it.

The CCPA defines "personal information" to mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular California resident or household. Personal information does not include publicly available, deidentified or aggregated information or lawfully obtained, truthful information that is a matter of public concern. For purposes of this "NOTICE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS" section, we will refer to this information as "Personal Information."

The CCPA's privacy rights described below do not apply to Personal Information that we collect, process, sell, or disclose subject to the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and its implementing regulations or the California Financial Information Privacy Act. Because we are subject to those laws and regulations, much of the Personal Information that we collect is exempt from the CCPA. Your choices and rights with respect to our use and sharing of that information are subject to our U.S. Financial Privacy Notice.

The CCPA's privacy rights also do not apply to certain types of Personal Information subject to the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act ("FCRA"). Some of our services are subject to the FCRA and, therefore, exempt from the CCPA on that basis.

If you are a California resident and a current or former employee, job applicant, or independent contractor of ours, please see our California Privacy Policy for Applicants and Employees for more information on our collection and use of your Personal Information in that capacity.

Your Rights

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights with respect to your Personal Information:

  1. The right to know what Personal Information we have collected about you, including the categories of Personal Information, the categories of sources from which we collected Personal Information, the business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing Personal Information (if applicable), the categories of third parties to whom we disclose Personal Information (if applicable), and the specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you;
  2. The right to delete Personal Information that we collected from you, subject to certain exceptions;
  3. The right to correct inaccurate Personal Information that we maintain about you;
  4. If we sell or share Personal Information, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing;
  5. If we use or disclose sensitive Personal Information for purposes other than those allowed by the CCPA and its regulations, the right to limit our use or disclosure; and
  6. The right not to receive discriminatory treatment by us for the exercise of privacy rights the CCPA confers.

How to Submit a Request to Know, Delete, and/or Correct

You may submit a request to know, delete, and/or correct through our interactive webform available here or by calling us toll free at (800) 450-2010 Ext. 7100.

As mentioned above, if you are a California resident who has a financial product or service with us, much of the Personal Information that we collect is exempt from the CCPA and, therefore, is not subject to the rights discussed in this "NOTICE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS" section. Your choices and rights with respect to our use and sharing of that information are subject to our U.S. Financial Privacy Notice.

If you are submitting a request on behalf of a California resident, please submit the request through one of the designated methods discussed above. After submitting the request, and if the request is not subject to an exemption or exception, we will require additional information to verify your authority to act on behalf of the California resident.

Our Process for Verifying a Request to Know, Delete, and/or Correct

If we determine that your request is subject to an exemption or exception, we will notify you of our determination. If we determine that your request is not subject to an exemption or exception, we will comply with your request upon verification of your identity and, to the extent applicable, the identity of the California resident on whose behalf you are making such request.

If you maintain a password-protected account, we may verify your identity through existing authentication practices available through your account. Prior to disclosing or deleting the Personal Information, we may ask you to re-authenticate yourself with respect to that account.

If you do not maintain a password-protected account, or if you are an account-holder but we suspect fraudulent or malicious activity with your account, we will verify your identity either to a "reasonable degree of certainty" or a "reasonably high degree of certainty" depending on the sensitivity of the Personal Information and the risk of harm to you by unauthorized disclosure, deletion, or correction as applicable. To do so, we will ask you to verify data points based on information we have in our records concerning you.

Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

If you are a California resident, you have the right to direct us to stop selling or sharing your Personal Information.

You may submit a request to opt out of sales or sharing through our interactive webform available here. If you have enabled privacy controls on your browser (such as a plugin), we will also treat that as a valid request to opt out. Please see the "OPT-OUT PREFERENCE SIGNALS" section above for more information.

Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information

California residents also have the right to limit our use or disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information if we use it for purposes other than those specified in the CCPA and its regulations. As stated above, we do not currently use or disclose Sensitive Personal Information for purposes other than those allowed by the CCPA and its regulations. However, if you are a California resident, you still may submit a request to limit, and we will record your instructions and incorporate them in the future if our policy changes. You may submit requests to limit through our interactive webform here or by calling us toll free at (800) 450-2010 Ext. 7100.

11.1 Email Policy

Email in General

Our communications to you in email may not accurately represent the entire or final disposition of a matter or constitute our official business, due to brevity or informality. Email is one medium through which information may be exchanged, as when an email message responds to a voice mail. Accordingly, email, by itself, may not accurately reflect the complete communication or our intent as to the subject matter referred to within the communication, nor constitute an official business record of Company. Any official content present in an email communication is qualified in its entirety by any signed writings, which shall govern such content according to their provisions. Also, unless explicitly permitted in a signed writing or necessary by law, the mere receipt of an email by us may not put us on notice, timely or otherwise, of the matters contained within that email.

Confidential Information

The emails we send are confidential (and all attachments to such emails are confidential) and are to be reviewed and/or disclosed to only the individual or entity to whom they are addressed and intended. If you receive an email in error or if it is improperly forwarded to you, the information contained in the email should, at all times, remain confidential and such circumstances shall not authorize you to use or disclose the confidential information. You agree to notify the sender immediately by telephone or email, and delete or destroy the original and any copies. Any unauthorized use, disclosure, reproduction, or distribution is strictly prohibited. Emails marked as "Confidential" contain confidential and/or proprietary information that is disclosed under the condition that you treat and maintain such information strictly in a confidential manner and in compliance with all applicable privacy laws and that you ensure such information is not disclosed or used by others, except for the limited and confidential purpose for which it is being provided. By accepting receipt of and/or reviewing confidential information that we provide, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, or expenses, including attorneys' fees that we may incur as a result of the unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information due to your acts or omissions.

Privileged Information

Emails exchanged with or involving our lawyers and legal staff may contain privileged information subject to the attorney-client privilege and/or the attorney work product privilege. Such privileged information shall not be waived if you receive an email in error or if it was improperly forwarded or delivered to you or you otherwise receive such communication by any means. If you are not the intended recipient of privileged information, you agree to notify the sender immediately by telephone or email and delete or destroy the original and any copies. Any unauthorized use, disclosure, reproduction, or distribution of confidential or privileged information is strictly prohibited.

Time Sensitive Instructions & Official Matters; Filters

Do not use email to communicate time-sensitive instructions or official company matters; they may not be received or reviewed by us in a timely manner. Emails are processed through various virus and spam filters which may delay or reject the delivery of an email altogether. Urgent matters should be communicated in person directly with the person of concern via telephone and then confirmed in writing with the appropriate person via fax or email. We reserve the right to block any email source we deem inappropriate.

Business Purposes

Our email facilities are to be used only for conducting business with us. Vendors, suppliers, clients and others receiving email from us may not use our email addresses or contact information (or any other person's email address appearing on or in our email) for any purpose other than corresponding with us for lawful and legitimate business purposes relating to our business.

22. MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER

In the event that we are not able to resolve a dispute, and with the exception of the claims for injunctive relief by us as described above and otherwise set forth herein, you hereby agree that either you or we may require any dispute, claim, or cause of action ("Claim") between you and us or any third parties arising out of use of the Site, the Services, and any other actions with us (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory) to be arbitrated on an individual (non-class) basis. However, both parties retain the right to seek relief in a small claims court (or a state court equivalent) for a Claim within the scope of its jurisdiction so long as the small claims action does not seek to certify a class, combine the claims of multiple persons, recover damages in excess of the limit for a small claim under applicable state law or is not transferred, removed, or appealed from small claims court to any different court. Additionally, if you are a California resident, you retain the right to obtain public injunctive relief from any court with proper jurisdiction.

THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS VERY LIMITED. ADDITIONALLY, ANY ARBITRATION OF A DISPUTE WILL BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND, THEREFORE, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. AS PART OF THIS WAIVER, YOU AGREE THAT YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO ACT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL IN AN ARBITRATION; THAT EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, CLAIMS BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST YOU MAY NOT BE JOINED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH CLAIMS BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST ANY OTHER PERSON; AND THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO CONDUCT A CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ARBITRATION OR MULTIPLE-PARTY ARBITRATION.

You and we agree that your use of the Services involves interstate commerce, and that this arbitration agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) set forth in Title 9 of the U.S. Code to the fullest extent possible, notwithstanding any state law to the contrary, regardless of the origin or nature of the Claims at issue. The arbitrator must follow, to the extent applicable: (i) the substantive law of the state in which we entered into the transaction giving rise to this arbitration agreement; (ii) the applicable statutes of limitations; and (iii) claims of privilege recognized at law. The arbitrator will not be bound by federal, state or local rules of procedure and evidence or by state or local laws concerning arbitration proceedings.

If either you or we elect to arbitrate a Claim, the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered under the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). Either you or we may elect to resolve a particular Claim through arbitration, even if the other party has already initiated litigation in court related to the Claim, by: (a) making written demand for arbitration upon the other party, (b) initiating arbitration against the other party, or (c) filing a motion to compel arbitration in court.

If this is a consumer-purpose transaction, the applicable rules will be the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules. The applicable AAA rules and other information about arbitrating a claim under AAA, including how to submit a dispute to arbitration, may be obtained by visiting its website at https://www.adr.org/ or by calling 1-800-778-7879. If AAA will not serve as the administrator of the arbitration, and you and we cannot then agree upon a substitute arbitrator, you and we shall request that a court with proper jurisdiction appoint an arbitrator. However, we will abide by the applicable AAA rules regardless of the forum. Arbitration shall be conducted in the county and state where you accepted these Terms, you reside, or another reasonably convenient place to you as determined by the arbitrator, unless applicable laws require another location. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Except as provided in applicable statutes, the arbitrator's award is not subject to review by the court and it cannot be appealed. The parties will have the option to request and receive a statement of reasons for the arbitration award.

If you elect to file the arbitration, and this is a consumer-purpose transaction, you will pay the filing fee to the extent required by AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules but not to exceed the cost of filing a lawsuit. Any amount above what it would cost you to file a lawsuit, we will pay. All other arbitration fees and expenses shall be allocated to us according to AAA rules. Except for the arbitration fees and expenses, each party shall pay its own costs and fees incurred (including attorneys' fees), unless the arbitrator allocates them differently in accordance with applicable law. This paragraph applies only if this is a consumer-purpose transaction.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, and except as otherwise set forth in this paragraph, the agreement to arbitration may be amended by us only upon advance notice to you. If we make any amendment to this agreement to arbitration (other than renumbering the agreement to align with any other amendment to the Terms) in the future, that amendment shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding or action against us prior to the effective date of the amendment. The amendment shall apply to all other Claims governed by this agreement to arbitration that have arisen or may arise between you and us. However, we may amend this agreement to arbitration and not provide you notice; in that case, the amendments will not apply to you and the agreement to arbitration contained in these Terms to which you agreed will continue to apply to you and us as if no amendments were made.

If any part of this arbitration provision is invalid, all other parts of it remain valid. However, if the class action limitation is invalid, then this arbitration provision is invalid in its entirety, provided that the remaining Terms shall remain in full force and effect. This arbitration provision will survive the termination of your use of the Site, the Services, and any other actions with us.

You may reject this arbitration provision within thirty (30) days of accepting the Terms by emailing us at legalnoticesandlawsuits@nafinc.com and including in the subject line "Rejection of Arbitration Provision."

Without waiving the foregoing arbitration agreement, this Agreement and its provisions shall be construed, interpreted, governed, and applied in accordance with the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflict of law principles.

On-Time Closing Guarantee - Terms and Conditions

New American Funding (NAF) provides an on-time closing guarantee, subject to the following terms and conditions:

  • NAF must receive from the borrower a copy of a fully executed purchase agreement for a specific residential real property located in a state where NAF is licensed to originate mortgage loans. The fully executed purchase agreement must identify a specific closing date not to occur sooner than thirty (30) calendar days after the date that the purchase agreement is received by NAF, and the specified closing date cannot be moved to a sooner date at any time. The fully executed purchase agreement must identify no contingencies that extend more than ten (10) calendar days after the purchase agreement is received by NAF, except for a contingency that (i) relates to the approval of borrower for financing on application made to NAF, or (ii) relates to the borrower selling a primary residence on or before the specified closing date in the purchase agreement. The specified closing date in the purchase agreement for borrower’s loan must be a day that NAF is open for business, excluding specifically all Saturdays, Sundays and federal holidays.
  • Borrower must fully complete and sign a standard loan application with NAF for a first lien position mortgage loan on the residential real property identified in the fully executed purchase agreement not more than sixty (60) calendar days prior to the date that the purchase agreement is received by NAF. The specific residential real property cannot change prior to the specified closing date in the purchase agreement. The application and all supporting documentation, whether submitted with the application or at any other time, cannot contain any fraudulent or misleading information or representations. Once the completed and signed application is received by NAF, there cannot be any change in borrower’s employment or any other change in borrower’s loan qualifying information that has an adverse effect on borrower’s qualifying eligibility, in NAF's sole discretion. No assignment of the purchase agreement or substitute borrower is eligible for this offer. If more than one borrower, all of these terms and conditions relate separately to each borrower.
  • Borrower must return to NAF all required signed disclosures and a signed Intent to Proceed document within three (3) business days after the fully executed purchase agreement is received by NAF.
  • Each borrower must completely satisfy all loan program requirements and conditions for approval at least eight (8) business days prior to the specified closing date in the fully executed purchase agreement.
  • NAF’s offer of an on-time closing guarantee is void if closing is delayed beyond the specified closing date in the fully executed purchase agreement first delivered to NAF due to the acts or omissions of either the seller(s) or borrower(s); the acts, omissions, negligence or malfeasance of another party not the seller, borrower or NAF; any delay by a government agency in delivering any item or approval necessary for closing; or any natural disaster or an extraordinary event or circumstance beyond the control of the parties (including, among others, weather or catastrophic event, war, strike, riot, crime, or act of terrorism). Likewise, the offer of an on-time closing guarantee is void if, at least five (5) days prior to the specified closing date in the fully executed purchase agreement, the appraised value of the real property identified in the purchase agreement does not equal or exceed the sales price identified in the purchase agreement, or any required repairs or other work identified in the appraisal is not complete. Further, the on-time closing guarantee is void if a contingency for the sale of borrower’s primary residence is not clear prior to or at the closing specified in the fully executed purchase agreement.
  • The offer is void where prohibited by applicable law or investor requirements. The offer is also void in the event that, due to re-disclosure prior to closing, federal or state regulatory requirements require any waiting period that extends beyond the specified closing date in the fully executed purchase agreement.

NAF reserves the right to amend or terminate its on-time closing guarantee at any time, with or without notice; however, a borrower remains eligible to receive the terms and conditions of the on-time closing guarantee available on the date that NAF has received both (i) a fully executed purchase agreement with a closing date not less than thirty (30) calendar days from NAF’s receipt for a specific residential real property located in a state where NAF is licensed to originate mortgage loans, and (ii) fully completed and signed standard loan application documents. Other restrictions may apply, so please contact NAF for specific details at the time of submitting the required documents.

This is not an offer to lend or to extend credit, nor is this a guaranty of loan approval or commitment to lend. The information here may not be up-to-date and may no longer be accurate. Consumers must independently verify the accuracy and currency of the on-time closing guarantee terms and conditions. All of the above terms and conditions are subject to the borrower(s) satisfying all underwriting guidelines and loan approval conditions and providing an acceptable property, appraisal and title report.
