This Agreement and any claim or controversy relating to or arising from the use of our Website or Services, including, but not limited to, any transactions made or entered into at our Website, any information, content, products, services or promotions herein contained or provided from our Website, or any functionality, software or programming contained or provided at or from our Website (hereafter, “Claims”), shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to choice of law provisions and, as applicable, the laws of the United States of America.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE PURCHASE OF A HOME THROUGH A BLACKPINE SALES OFFICE, MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM ARISES.

You agree to arbitrate any and all Claims, including all statutory Claims, and any state or federal Claims. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE GIVING UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY, OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO BE UNAVAILABLE OR MAY BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.

ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PRE-EXISTING, PRESENT OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, CONSUMER PROTECTION, COMMON LAW, INTENTIONAL TORT, INJUNCTIVE AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) BETWEEN YOU AND US ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR USE OF OR PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THROUGH THE WEBSITE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION.

All Claims shall be decided by one arbitrator pursuant to this provision and the commercial arbitration rules and procedures of JAMS, Inc. at their offices located in Orange County, California. For more information on JAMS and/or the rules of JAMS, visit http://www.jamsadr.com. All Claims shall be brought solely in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s Claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding with respect to any such Claims. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN AWARDS FOR AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES (A) ALL RIGHTS TO CLAIM PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, ENHANCED, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AND ANY OTHER DAMAGES, OTHER THAN FOR ACTUAL OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES, AND (B) ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE DAMAGES MULTIPLIED OR OTHERWISE INCREASED. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration. Any proceeding to enforce this arbitration agreement, including any proceeding to confirm, modify, or vacate an arbitration award, shall be conducted in the Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Orange or, where applicable, the federal District Court sitting in the County of Orange, State of California. Likewise, in the event that this arbitration agreement is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any litigation shall be commenced only in the federal or state courts located in Orange County, California.

Although every effort has been made to ensure that the prices and terms contained herein are accurate and current, at any time, such prices and terms are subject to prior sale, selected lot premiums, predetermined options and/or otherwise subject to change. Prices shown generally refer to the base house and do not include any optional features. Photos and/or drawings of homes may show upgraded elevations, landscaping and optional features, and may not represent the lowest-priced homes in the community. BlackPine reserves the right to make changes to its home designs and to build more or fewer homes than currently planned. Square footage numbers are approximate and may vary from the actual plans and homes as built. Any statement, verbal or written, regarding "under air" or "finished area" or any other description or modifier of the square footage size of any home is a shorthand description of the manner in which the square footage was estimated and should not be construed to indicate certainty. Hardscape, landscape, and other items shown may be decorator suggestions that are not included in the purchase price and availability may vary. The availability of certain options is also subject to construction status and schedule. BlackPine cannot control future development or guarantee the preservation of any view of the natural environment surrounding its communities. Views vary significantly by lot location and may be affected by future development. The developer reserves the right to make modifications to materials, specifications, plans, dimensions, pricing, various fees, design, scheduling, availability and delivery of residences without prior notice. BlackPine does not guarantee that any communities with guard gates will be guarded in perpetuity or that the gate will provide additional security or protection for residents. Garage or bay sizes may vary from home to home and may not accommodate all vehicles. Information contained on this Website may contain products, specifications, services, and prices that are not available in your state or local market.

6. Images, Content, Specifications, Site Plan / Community Map Disclaimer

Site plans, renderings, floor plans, depictions of residences, buildings, facilities, improvements, community maps, aerial photos, community photos and/or computer generated or enhanced depictions of communities (collectively “Illustrations”) may be posted on our Website for illustrative purposes only and will vary from the actual plans, residences, buildings, facilities, and buildings as built. All Illustrations shown are conceptual in nature and are merely an artist’s rendition, and may not accurately represent the actual condition of the item being represented. While we make all reasonable efforts to accurately display the attributes of the Illustrations, including any applicable colors, the actual color you see will depend on your computer system and we cannot guarantee that your computer will accurately display such colors.

BlackPine reserves the right to make changes to any of the foregoing at any time, without notice.

7. Energy Savings

Energy calculations and claims are estimates only and were developed by third parties based on the design of the home and the HERS index, and not specific testing of an individual home. Savings will vary due to many variables, including but not limited to, actual utility rates and fees, actual construction, floor plan, occupancy, appliance usage, thermostat settings, weather conditions, number of individuals occupying the home and orientation of the home. We provide no guarantee of savings or efficiency that will be achieved by each homeowner.

8. Disclaimers regarding Wi-Fi or “smart home” type features

Wireless and “smart home” performance in homes will vary due to design changes, construction changes, placement of furnishings and appliances, usage, and local conditions. Network performance will be affected by network configuration, the number of users, and the type of use. Homeowners are responsible for providing their own Internet connection and determining their own bandwidth needs, which may vary. BlackPine does not guarantee that networks, equipment, or services will meet all homeowner needs. Homeowners are also responsible for configuring all security features. BlackPine does not warrant or represent that any network or network device is secure or can prevent all privacy intrusions, malware, or cyber-attacks, even when correctly configured. Certain products or services are provided by third parties, and not BlackPine. BlackPine does not guarantee any equipment or services provided by third parties. See your purchase agreement and related disclosures for details.

9. Not an Offer to Sell Real Property

11. State and Federal Regulatory Requirements and Restrictions on Solicitation

The promotional material on our Website is not intended to constitute an offering in violation of the law of any jurisdiction. Where applicable, obtain the “Property Report” or its equivalent required by federal and/or state law for any BlackPine community of interest and read it before signing anything. No federal or state agency has judged the merits or value, if any, of any BlackPine property referenced on our Website. No binding offer to sell or lease may be made or accepted prior to the issuance of the final required “Public Report” for the property required by the respective state’s real estate registration requirements. In certain communities, and in accordance with specific state laws where applicable, only Lot Reservations or Conditional Sales may be presently offered in certain neighborhoods and/or neighborhoods proposed for future development, and such properties may not be available for sale at this time. Please consult a sales representative at each respective community of interest for further details.

In addition, our Website may contain references or cross-references to subdivisions or housing types within the community that are not currently approved for sale in your state. These references do not imply that BlackPine or the respective unaffiliated Master Developer or Neighborhood Builder intends to seek approval to conduct sales activities in your state. Please consult a BlackPine sales representative for further details on lots offered in particular neighborhoods. Further, the information presented on our Website is provided for general reference only and is not a representation of the content of the sales contract or other offering or governing documents for any community featured on our Website.

12. Offers/Incentives/Promotions

All special offers, incentives and seller contributions (“offers”) are subject to certain terms, conditions and restrictions, which may include the use of designated lenders and closing agents. Certain offers could affect the loan amount. Offers are good for a limited time only and subject to availability, and BlackPine reserves the right to change or withdraw any offer at any time, without notice. Offers are product and community specific and may not be combined. Promotional programs are typically available only on select lots, at select communities, and may not be available in conjunction with other offers. Values on offers are approximate. All offers are void where prohibited or otherwise restricted by law. Offers are not available where prior state registration requirements have not been satisfied.

13. Human Models/Lifestyle Photos or Videos

BlackPine makes no guarantee of present or future market conditions. Real estate market conditions involve risks, variables and uncertainties that may cause the real estate values to differ materially from geographic area, timeframes and product types. Market condition statements, including forecasts, projections, and other predictive statements, are no guarantee of the present or future market conditions and market values, based on available information at time of website posting, and should never be relied upon. Market rates are based on market trends, other factors and they involve risks, variables and uncertainties that can cause predictive statements to differ materially. You should consult your own accounting, legal and tax advisors to evaluate the risks, consequences and suitability of any real estate transaction.

In addition, BlackPine is committed to its compliance with the laws and regulations of other jurisdictions that may add prohibitions against discrimination based on age, parental status, sexual orientation, political ideology, financial status, and the like, and as to those BlackPine Company communities that are age qualified, to qualify for exemption from the familial status portion of the Fair Housing Act and all state age restrictions laws imposed by the state where a particular community is located.
