Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: October 3, 2026
Last Updated: October 3, 2026

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of southcarolinafirehousebuyer.com (the “Website”) and services offered through the Website by South Carolina Fire House Buyer, also operating under the brand South Carolina Fire House Buyer (“South Carolina Fire House Buyer,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

Please read these Terms carefully.

By accessing the Website, submitting information concerning real estate, requesting a cash offer, or otherwise interacting with our services, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree with these Terms, do not use the Website.

1. Purpose of the Website

The Website allows homeowners, property owners, and authorized representatives to submit information concerning real estate they may wish to sell, including:

  • Fire-damaged properties;
  • Smoke-damaged properties;
  • Water-damaged properties;
  • Structurally damaged properties;
  • Distressed properties;
  • Vacant properties;
  • Inherited properties;
  • Probate properties;
  • Properties facing foreclosure;
  • Properties subject to liens;
  • Properties requiring substantial repairs; and
  • Other residential or investment properties.

Depending on a particular property and transaction, we may:

  • Evaluate the property ourselves;
  • Purchase or seek to purchase the property;
  • Facilitate a potential cash offer;
  • Match the seller with a prospective cash buyer;
  • Refer or route the opportunity to an affiliated or independent investor;
  • Connect the seller with another prospective purchaser;
  • Enter into a purchase agreement concerning the property;
  • Assign contractual rights where permitted by the applicable contract and law; or
  • Determine that neither we nor another prospective purchaser is interested.

Nothing displayed on the Website constitutes a binding offer to purchase real estate.

2. Our Role

South Carolina Fire House Buyer operates within the real estate investment, cash-buyer, property-acquisition, marketing, referral, and lead-generation marketplace.

Depending on a particular transaction, we may act as:

  • A prospective purchaser;
  • A real estate investor;
  • A property-acquisition business;
  • A marketing or lead-generation platform;
  • A service connecting property owners with prospective purchasers;
  • A purchaser holding a contractual interest in property;
  • An affiliate or business partner of another investor; or
  • A combination of these roles.

Our precise role depends on the actual transaction and governing written agreements.

Unless expressly established through a separate written agreement, we do not act as your:

  • Real estate broker;
  • Seller’s real estate agent;
  • Attorney;
  • Accountant;
  • Financial adviser;
  • Tax adviser;
  • Insurance adviser;
  • Public adjuster;
  • Contractor;
  • Engineer;
  • Appraiser;
  • Fiduciary;
  • Housing counselor;
  • Mortgage broker;
  • Foreclosure consultant; or
  • Other professional adviser.

3. Lead Generation, Contract Assignments, and South Carolina Wholesaling Law

South Carolina law draws distinctions among:

  • Acting as a principal purchaser;
  • Holding contractual rights to purchase property;
  • Assigning contractual rights;
  • Marketing property before acquiring title;
  • Advertising property owned by another person; and
  • Acting as a real estate broker for compensation.

Under current South Carolina real estate law, “wholesaling” has a specific statutory definition.

The statute generally describes wholesaling as having a contractual interest in purchasing residential real estate from an owner and then marketing the property for sale to a different buyer before taking legal ownership.

South Carolina law expressly states that the term “wholesaling” does not refer merely to assigning or offering to assign a contractual right to purchase residential real estate.

Accordingly, not every:

  • Seller referral;
  • Buyer introduction;
  • Contract assignment; or
  • Investor transaction

is legally identical.

Each transaction must be structured consistently with applicable South Carolina real estate licensing and contract law.

4. Advertising Property Owned by Another Person

South Carolina law treats advertising or marketing real estate owned by another individual or entity with an expectation of compensation differently from merely assigning one’s own contractual rights.

Activity constituting real estate brokerage must be performed by an appropriately licensed person unless an exemption applies.

Nothing on the Website authorizes unlicensed brokerage or advertising of another person’s real estate in violation of South Carolina law.

5. No Obligation to Sell

Submitting information or requesting an offer does not obligate you to sell your property.

A Website form submission is an inquiry and is not a real estate purchase agreement.

You may reject a proposed offer unless and until you enter into a legally enforceable written agreement providing otherwise.

6. No Obligation to Purchase

Submitting property information does not require South Carolina Fire House Buyer or any:

  • Affiliate;
  • Cash buyer;
  • Investor;
  • Acquisition partner;
  • Property-acquisition company; or
  • Other prospective purchaser

to:

  • Evaluate the property;
  • Make an offer;
  • Maintain a previously discussed offer;
  • Continue negotiations;
  • Purchase the property; or
  • Complete a transaction.

7. Eligibility and Authority

By using the Website or submitting information concerning a property, you represent that:

  • You are at least 18 years old;
  • You have legal capacity to enter contracts;
  • Information you provide is materially accurate to the best of your knowledge;
  • You own the property, have an ownership interest, or are authorized to communicate concerning it; and
  • Your use of the Website complies with applicable law.

Submission by one co-owner does not necessarily establish authority to bind all owners.

8. Property Information

We may request or obtain information concerning:

  • Property address;
  • Property type;
  • Property condition;
  • Fire damage;
  • Smoke damage;
  • Water damage;
  • Structural damage;
  • Electrical and plumbing conditions;
  • Roof or foundation condition;
  • Occupancy;
  • Repairs;
  • Permits;
  • Insurance claims;
  • Desired sale timeline;
  • Ownership;
  • Mortgages;
  • Liens;
  • Property taxes;
  • Probate;
  • Foreclosure;
  • Inheritance; and
  • Other information relevant to evaluating a potential transaction.

You agree not to knowingly provide materially false, fraudulent, misleading, or unauthorized information.

9. Property Research

When you submit a property, you authorize us and parties evaluating the opportunity to research the property through lawful sources.

Research may include:

  • County assessor records;
  • Register-of-deeds records;
  • Property-tax records;
  • Recorded deeds;
  • Ownership records;
  • Mortgages;
  • Liens and encumbrances;
  • Court records where lawfully available;
  • Probate information;
  • Foreclosure information;
  • Building permits;
  • Zoning information;
  • Property sales history;
  • Comparable sales;
  • Estimated property values;
  • Property characteristics;
  • Mapping information;
  • Commercial property databases; and
  • Other publicly or commercially available information.

10. Matching With Prospective Cash Buyers

The Website may facilitate connections between property owners and prospective purchasers.

After reviewing property information, we may connect you with an affiliated or independent:

  • Cash buyer;
  • Real estate investor;
  • Property-acquisition company;
  • Investment group;
  • Redevelopment company;
  • Contractor;
  • Acquisition partner; or
  • Other prospective purchaser.

A prospective purchaser may independently:

  • Research the property;
  • Contact you;
  • Evaluate property condition;
  • Estimate repairs;
  • Conduct due diligence;
  • Determine an offer amount;
  • Negotiate transaction terms; and
  • Enter into a transaction with you.

Independent purchasers are responsible for their own:

  • Statements and representations;
  • Offers;
  • Valuations;
  • Due diligence;
  • Contracts;
  • Financing;
  • Privacy practices;
  • Licensing obligations;
  • Performance; and
  • Compliance with applicable law.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, we do not guarantee the conduct or performance of an independent third-party purchaser.

11. Preliminary Offers and Valuations

Any:

  • Cash offer;
  • Preliminary offer;
  • Estimated offer;
  • Property valuation;
  • Price range;
  • Repair estimate; or
  • Similar preliminary indication of transaction value

is non-binding unless expressly made binding through a legally enforceable written agreement.

A preliminary offer may be modified or withdrawn before execution of a binding agreement.

12. Factors Affecting Offers

A prospective purchaser may consider factors including:

  • Current property condition;
  • After-repair value;
  • Fire damage;
  • Smoke damage;
  • Water damage;
  • Structural damage;
  • Electrical damage;
  • Property location;
  • Comparable property sales;
  • Estimated repair expenses;
  • Renovation expenses;
  • Demolition expenses;
  • Environmental or remediation expenses;
  • Property taxes;
  • Utilities;
  • Insurance;
  • Attorney and title expenses;
  • Closing costs;
  • Holding costs;
  • Market conditions;
  • Buyer demand;
  • Investment risk;
  • Desired investment return;
  • Mortgages;
  • Liens;
  • Occupancy; and
  • Information discovered during due diligence.

No particular valuation methodology, percentage, property value, or offer amount is guaranteed.

13. Binding Real Estate Transactions

A binding property transaction exists only when the appropriate parties execute legally enforceable written transaction documents.

A transaction may be subject to:

  • Verification of ownership;
  • Verification of authority to sell;
  • Title examination;
  • Property access;
  • Inspection or evaluation;
  • Due diligence;
  • Confirmation of property condition;
  • Resolution of mortgages, liens, or encumbrances;
  • Required disclosures;
  • Federal disclosure requirements;
  • Attorney-closing requirements;
  • Municipal requirements; and
  • Other conditions identified in the applicable agreement.

14. South Carolina Attorney Supervision of Closings

South Carolina treats significant portions of a residential real estate transaction as the practice of law.

The applicable closing process must therefore be handled or supervised by a lawyer licensed to practice in South Carolina as required by applicable South Carolina law and professional rules.

The legal functions associated with a residential transaction may include:

  • Title examination;
  • Preparation of legal instruments;
  • Closing;
  • Recording; and
  • Disbursement.

Nothing on the Website replaces the role of the South Carolina attorney supervising the applicable real estate closing.

15. As-Is Property Sales

The Website advertises potential purchases of property in its current or “as-is” condition.

An as-is transaction may allow a seller to complete a sale without making repairs requested by a particular purchaser.

However, an as-is provision does not automatically eliminate obligations concerning:

  • South Carolina property-condition disclosures;
  • Fraud;
  • Material misrepresentation;
  • Intentional concealment;
  • Known property conditions;
  • Contractual representations;
  • Federal disclosures;
  • Title; or
  • Other duties imposed by law.

The applicable purchase agreement and governing law determine the legal effect of an as-is provision.

16. South Carolina Residential Property Condition Disclosure Act

South Carolina’s Residential Property Condition Disclosure Act generally applies to covered transfers of residential real property consisting of at least one but not more than four dwelling units.

Covered transactions include certain:

  • Sales;
  • Exchanges;
  • Installment land sales; and
  • Leases with an option to purchase.

Subject to statutory exemptions, the property owner must furnish the purchaser the South Carolina Residential Property Condition Disclosure Statement.

Nothing on the Website replaces the official disclosure form.

17. Timing of the South Carolina Disclosure

Where the Residential Property Condition Disclosure Act applies, the owner generally must deliver the required disclosure statement before the real estate contract is signed by the purchaser and owner, unless the parties otherwise agree in the real estate contract as permitted by applicable law.

A cash transaction, investor purchase, fast closing, or as-is transaction does not by itself remove the statutory disclosure requirement.

18. Statutory Exemptions

South Carolina law contains multiple exemptions from the Residential Property Condition Disclosure Act.

Depending on the circumstances, exclusions may apply to certain transfers involving:

  • Court orders;
  • Estate administration;
  • Foreclosure sales;
  • Bankruptcy trustees;
  • Mortgagees acquiring property in connection with default;
  • Fiduciaries;
  • Co-owners;
  • Spouses or certain family members;
  • Tax sales;
  • Governmental entities;
  • The first sale of an uninhabited new dwelling;
  • Public auctions;
  • Residential trusts;
  • Certain vacation interests; and
  • Other transactions specified by statute.

South Carolina law also excludes a transaction where both parties agree in writing not to complete a disclosure statement.

An exemption should not be assumed without evaluating the actual transaction.

19. Effect of an Agreement Not to Complete the Statutory Disclosure

Where both parties validly agree in writing that a transaction falls within the statutory exclusion for not completing the disclosure statement, the statutory disclosure form may not be required under that Article.

That does not authorize:

  • Fraud;
  • Intentional concealment;
  • False contractual representations;
  • Misrepresentation of property condition;
  • Violation of another statute;
  • Violation of federal disclosure law; or
  • Violation of duties imposed by another applicable legal rule.

Any waiver or exclusion must therefore be evaluated together with the actual purchase agreement and applicable law.

20. Matters Covered by the South Carolina Disclosure

The statutory disclosure framework addresses matters including:

  • Water supply and sewage disposal;
  • Roofs;
  • Chimneys;
  • Floors;
  • Foundations;
  • Basements;
  • Structural components and modifications;
  • Plumbing;
  • Electrical systems;
  • Heating and cooling systems;
  • Other mechanical systems;
  • Wood-destroying organisms;
  • Zoning and land-use restrictions;
  • Building-code matters;
  • Encroachments;
  • Government notices;
  • Lead-based paint;
  • Asbestos;
  • Radon;
  • Methane;
  • Underground storage tanks;
  • Hazardous or toxic materials;
  • Environmental contamination;
  • Rental or lease arrangements;
  • Certain utility conservation charges; and
  • Homeowners association governance.

Fire damage may affect one or more of these categories.

21. Official Disclosure Form and Explanations

The official South Carolina Residential Property Condition Disclosure Statement asks owners to answer based on their actual knowledge.

Where an answer identifies a problem or requires a description, the official form may call for an explanation or appropriate supporting information.

Depending on the issue, supporting information may include a report from:

  • An engineer;
  • Contractor;
  • Pest-control professional;
  • Other expert; or
  • Public agency.

This does not mean every fire-damaged seller must automatically provide every historical document relating to a fire.

22. “No Representation” Does Not Authorize Concealment

The official disclosure form permits an owner to make “No Representation” responses for specified items.

That option should not be interpreted as permission to knowingly conceal information or provide false, incomplete, or misleading material information.

The owner remains responsible for complying with applicable statutory, contractual, and fraud-related duties.

23. Changes Discovered Before Closing

If, after delivering a disclosure statement, the owner discovers a material inaccuracy or an event occurs that makes the disclosure materially inaccurate, South Carolina law may require the owner to:

  • Promptly provide a corrected disclosure statement; or
  • Make reasonable repairs necessitated by the occurrence before closing.

The applicable statute and purchase agreement control the parties’ obligations.

24. Consequences of Disclosure Violations

An owner who knowingly violates a duty imposed by South Carolina’s Residential Property Condition Disclosure Act or knowingly provides false, incomplete, or misleading material information may be liable for damages caused to the purchaser.

Court costs and, in appropriate circumstances, attorney fees may also be available under the statute.

25. Failure to Deliver the Form Does Not Automatically Void the Contract

Where South Carolina’s disclosure statute applies, failure to provide the required disclosure form does not automatically:

  • Void the purchase agreement;
  • Create a title defect; or
  • Provide a reason to delay or interfere with closing merely because the form was not provided.

Other legal remedies may nevertheless remain available.

26. Fire Damage and Property Condition

Fire-damaged properties may involve conditions including:

  • Structural damage;
  • Smoke contamination;
  • Water damage caused by firefighting;
  • Mold;
  • Electrical damage;
  • Plumbing damage;
  • HVAC damage;
  • Roof damage;
  • Foundation damage;
  • Hazardous materials;
  • Environmental conditions;
  • Building-code issues;
  • Permit issues;
  • Insurance claims;
  • Prior repairs;
  • Incomplete repairs; and
  • Unpermitted alterations.

Where a covered condition falls within an applicable disclosure category and the seller has the knowledge required by law, the disclosure should be completed accurately.

Nothing on the Website authorizes fraud, concealment, or material misrepresentation.

27. No Universal “Complete Fire History” Requirement

The Website may contain educational language suggesting that sellers assemble:

  • Fire-department reports;
  • Professional inspections;
  • Engineering reports;
  • Repair records;
  • Contractor invoices;
  • Insurance documentation;
  • Remediation records; or
  • Similar fire-related documentation.

These records may be highly useful for:

  • Insurance matters;
  • Valuation;
  • Buyer due diligence;
  • Disclosure explanations;
  • Repair verification; and
  • Transaction negotiations.

However, South Carolina law does not impose one universal rule requiring every seller in every fire-damaged transaction to provide a complete package of every fire, repair, insurance, inspection, and remediation document.

Actual obligations depend on:

  • The statutory disclosure form;
  • Seller knowledge;
  • The purchase agreement;
  • Applicable exemptions;
  • Federal law; and
  • Other applicable legal duties.

28. Purchaser Inspection and Due Diligence

South Carolina’s disclosure statute does not eliminate the purchaser’s responsibility to inspect the physical condition of the property.

The Website may advertise:

  • No inspection;
  • No formal inspection;
  • As-is purchases;
  • No financing contingency;
  • No appraisal contingency; or
  • Similar streamlined structures.

Those statements describe possible transaction structures.

They do not prevent a particular purchaser from conducting due diligence permitted by the applicable agreement.

A purchaser may choose to:

  • Inspect the property;
  • Obtain contractor estimates;
  • Review fire reports;
  • Review structural reports;
  • Review insurance information;
  • Review permits;
  • Examine title;
  • Conduct environmental testing; or
  • Perform other due diligence.

29. Fast Closing and Similar Advertising Statements

The Website may advertise:

  • Cash offers within approximately 24 hours;
  • Closing in approximately seven days;
  • Closing in approximately ten days;
  • Flexible closing dates;
  • No repairs;
  • As-is purchases;
  • No real estate-agent commissions;
  • No seller fees;
  • Buyer-paid closing costs;
  • No inspection;
  • No financing contingency; or
  • Similar streamlined transaction features.

These statements describe transaction structures that may be available.

They do not guarantee identical timing or terms for every seller or property.

Actual terms and timing may depend on:

  • Property condition;
  • Ownership;
  • Title;
  • Mortgages;
  • Liens;
  • Buyer availability;
  • Property access;
  • Due diligence;
  • Required disclosures;
  • Attorney supervision;
  • Closing requirements;
  • Legal requirements; and
  • Other circumstances.

30. Closing Costs, Fees, and Commissions

Where a prospective purchaser agrees to:

  • Pay particular closing costs;
  • Purchase without a listing agent;
  • Charge no seller commission;
  • Charge no particular seller fee; or
  • Pay specified attorney or title expenses,

the actual obligations of the parties will be determined by the signed transaction documents and closing statement.

Website statements such as “no fees,” “no commissions,” or “we cover closing costs” do not override an executed agreement.

31. South Carolina Real Estate Licensing

South Carolina requires an appropriate real estate license to engage in regulated brokerage activity unless an applicable statutory exemption exists.

The law treats differently:

  • Selling an interest a person actually owns;
  • Acting as a principal purchaser;
  • Assigning one’s own contractual rights;
  • Advertising property owned by someone else;
  • Negotiating a transaction for another person; and
  • Soliciting referrals or engaging in brokerage for compensation.

Nothing on the Website authorizes unlicensed activity requiring a South Carolina real estate license.

32. Wholesaling and Licensed Brokerage Firms

South Carolina’s real estate licensing law contains specific rules concerning statutory “wholesaling.”

The law prohibits a real estate brokerage firm and its licensees, when acting under applicable brokerage duties, from engaging in, representing others in, or assisting others in the practice of statutory wholesaling.

Any person or business participating in a transaction involving:

  • Brokerage;
  • Wholesaling;
  • Contract assignments;
  • Marketing of a contractual interest; or
  • Advertising property before acquisition of title

is responsible for ensuring that the transaction structure complies with current South Carolina law.

33. Assignment of Contractual Rights

South Carolina’s statutory definition of “wholesaling” expressly distinguishes wholesaling from merely:

  • Assigning a contractual right to purchase residential real estate; or
  • Offering to assign such a contractual right.

However, assignment of a particular purchase agreement is permitted only to the extent:

  • The agreement allows assignment;
  • The assignment is not otherwise prohibited by law;
  • Required disclosures are made;
  • No person misrepresents ownership of the underlying property; and
  • The transaction does not involve unlawful brokerage.

A purchaser holding contractual rights should not represent that it owns legal title before title has actually transferred.

34. Foreclosure and Financial Distress

The Website may be used by homeowners:

  • Behind on mortgage payments;
  • Facing default;
  • Subject to foreclosure proceedings;
  • Experiencing financial distress; or
  • Seeking a rapid sale.

We are not your:

  • Mortgage lender;
  • Mortgage servicer;
  • Attorney;
  • Financial adviser;
  • Credit counselor;
  • Housing counselor;
  • Mortgage broker; or
  • Foreclosure-rescue consultant

unless expressly established through a separate legally compliant agreement.

Selling property may be one potential response to financial distress, but it is not necessarily the only available option.

You may wish to communicate with:

  • Your lender or mortgage servicer;
  • A South Carolina attorney;
  • A HUD-approved housing counselor;
  • A tax professional; or
  • Another qualified adviser.

35. Mortgage Negotiation and Brokerage

A standard purchase of real estate does not itself authorize us to act as your mortgage broker.

South Carolina separately regulates persons who, for compensation or gain, engage in activities such as:

  • Soliciting a mortgage loan for a borrower;
  • Processing or placing a mortgage loan;
  • Negotiating a mortgage loan;
  • Offering to negotiate a mortgage loan; or
  • Acting in other capacities regulated by South Carolina mortgage-broker law.

Unless a separate legally compliant relationship expressly provides otherwise, we do not provide those services.

36. No Foreclosure-Rescue Guarantees

Unless separately authorized and legally qualified to do so, we do not represent that:

  • We act on behalf of your mortgage lender;
  • We act on behalf of your mortgage servicer;
  • We act on behalf of the State of South Carolina or federal government;
  • We guarantee that foreclosure will be stopped;
  • We guarantee that your mortgage will be modified;
  • We will negotiate your mortgage for you;
  • You should stop communicating with your lender;
  • You should stop making legally required mortgage payments; or
  • Selling property through us is your only available option.

37. Probate and Inherited Property

Submitting information concerning inherited or probate property does not establish that the submitting person has legal authority to sell it.

A transaction may require:

  • Personal representative authority;
  • Executor or administrator authority;
  • Trustee authority;
  • Probate-court documentation;
  • Participation or consent of heirs;
  • Appropriate deeds;
  • Affidavits;
  • Estate documents; or
  • Other evidence of authority.

Some fiduciary and estate transactions may also fall within statutory exemptions from South Carolina’s residential property-disclosure requirements.

38. Insurance Claims and Fire-Damage Proceeds

A fire-damaged property may involve an open or completed insurance claim.

We do not act as your:

  • Insurance company;
  • Insurance agent;
  • Public adjuster;
  • Insurance attorney; or
  • Insurance adviser

unless expressly established through a separate legally compliant arrangement.

You are responsible for understanding matters including:

  • Insurance coverage;
  • Claim requirements;
  • Claim deadlines;
  • Insurance proceeds;
  • Repair obligations;
  • Mortgage-holder rights;
  • Assignment provisions;
  • Recoverable depreciation;
  • Policy conditions; and
  • Tax implications.

If a property is sold while an insurance claim remains pending, the purchase agreement should appropriately address the parties’ rights concerning the claim and proceeds.

39. Permits, Code Enforcement, and Unsafe Structures

A fire-damaged property may be subject to:

  • Building-code violations;
  • Unsafe-building notices;
  • Condemnation proceedings;
  • Repair permits;
  • Building permits;
  • Demolition requirements;
  • Utility restrictions;
  • Environmental requirements; or
  • Other governmental requirements.

An as-is sale does not waive governmental requirements.

The actual obligations of seller and purchaser depend on applicable law and the signed transaction documents.

40. Telephone Communications

By providing a telephone number and requesting information or an offer, you authorize us to respond to your inquiry using the contact information provided.

Calls may concern:

  • Your property;
  • Your requested offer;
  • Property research;
  • Scheduling;
  • Buyer matching;
  • Follow-up;
  • Potential transactions; and
  • Related services.

Where federal or South Carolina law requires additional consent before regulated automated dialing, artificial voice, prerecorded voice, or marketing communications are made, applicable communications will be subject to those requirements.

41. South Carolina Telephone Solicitation Rules

Where a call constitutes a regulated telephone solicitation under South Carolina law, applicable requirements may include:

  • Calls generally being placed only between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. local time at the consumer’s location, absent applicable consent or another legal basis;
  • Identification of the person making the solicitation;
  • Identification of the person or business on whose behalf the solicitation is made;
  • Required disclosures; and
  • Compliance with applicable do-not-call and other solicitation rules.

Nothing in these Terms authorizes communications prohibited by applicable law.

42. Recording of Communications

South Carolina law generally permits a person who is a party to a wire, oral, or electronic communication, or who has prior consent from one party, to record or intercept that communication, subject to applicable limitations.

We or service providers acting on our behalf may record communications for:

  • Quality assurance;
  • Training;
  • Documentation;
  • Compliance;
  • Fraud prevention;
  • Security; or
  • Other legitimate business purposes.

Because communications may involve people located in jurisdictions with stricter recording-consent requirements, additional notice or consent may be required.

Where another applicable law requires all-party consent or another recording procedure, we will comply with that stricter requirement.

43. Text Messages

If you provide a mobile telephone number and applicable consent, we may communicate by text concerning:

  • Your inquiry;
  • Your property;
  • Scheduling;
  • Your requested offer;
  • Prospective purchasers;
  • Buyer matching;
  • Follow-up;
  • Potential transactions; and
  • Related services.

Where legally required, separate or additional consent will be obtained for regulated automated or marketing text communications.

Consent to marketing communications is not a condition of receiving an offer or selling property where prohibited by law.

Message and data rates may apply.

Message frequency may vary.

You may request that applicable messages stop by replying STOP.

44. Email Communications

By providing an email address, you authorize us to respond to your inquiry and communicate concerning:

  • Your property;
  • Prospective purchasers;
  • Potential offers;
  • Scheduling;
  • Follow-up;
  • Services; and
  • Potential transactions.

Marketing emails may be sent where permitted by applicable law.

Applicable promotional emails will provide a method to unsubscribe.

45. Electronic Communications

By interacting with us electronically, you consent to receiving electronic communications where permitted by applicable law.

Electronic communications may include:

  • Email;
  • Text messages;
  • Website notices;
  • Electronic documents; and
  • Other digital communications.

46. Privacy

Our collection, use, disclosure, sharing, sale, retention, and other processing of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.

The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

47. Independent Decision-Making

Selling real estate may have significant:

  • Legal;
  • Financial;
  • Tax;
  • Insurance; and
  • Personal consequences.

You are responsible for determining whether a proposed transaction is appropriate for your circumstances.

You may obtain independent advice from:

  • A South Carolina real estate attorney;
  • A licensed South Carolina real estate professional;
  • A tax professional;
  • An accountant;
  • An insurance professional;
  • A contractor;
  • A structural engineer;
  • An appraiser;
  • A housing counselor; or
  • Another qualified professional.

48. No Professional Advice

Nothing on the Website constitutes individualized:

  • Legal advice;
  • Tax advice;
  • Accounting advice;
  • Financial advice;
  • Insurance advice;
  • Construction advice;
  • Engineering advice;
  • Appraisal advice;
  • Mortgage advice;
  • Foreclosure advice; or
  • Professional advice concerning the value of a particular property.

49. No Brokerage, Agency, or Fiduciary Relationship

Unless separately established through an applicable written agreement, use of the Website does not create:

  • A real estate brokerage relationship;
  • Seller representation;
  • Buyer representation;
  • An agency relationship;
  • A fiduciary relationship;
  • A partnership;
  • A joint venture;
  • An employment relationship; or
  • Another professional advisory relationship.

If a licensed real estate professional participates in a particular transaction, applicable brokerage duties and disclosures are governed by South Carolina law and the applicable written agreements.

50. Acceptable Use

You may not:

  • Use the Website for unlawful purposes;
  • Submit fraudulent property leads;

We do not control and are not responsible for third-party:

  • Content;
  • Availability;
  • Privacy practices;
  • Security;
  • Products;
  • Services;
  • Representations; or
  • Conduct.

Your interaction with a third party is governed by that party’s applicable terms and policies.

We may modify, restrict, suspend, or discontinue any portion of the Website at any time.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or continuously available Website access.

55. No Guarantee of Transaction

We do not guarantee:

56. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE WEBSITE AND WEBSITE CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS.

WE DISCLAIM WARRANTIES THAT MAY LAWFULLY BE DISCLAIMED, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF:

  • MERCHANTABILITY;
  • FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE;
  • TITLE; AND
  • NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE WEBSITE WILL ALWAYS BE:

  • ACCURATE;
  • COMPLETE;

  • ERROR-FREE.

Nothing in these Terms excludes rights or warranties that cannot lawfully be excluded.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR CLAIMS ARISING SOLELY FROM USE OF THE WEBSITE WILL NOT EXCEED $500.

This limitation does not apply to liability that applicable law does not permit to be limited or excluded.

Rights and liabilities arising under a separately executed purchase, assignment, or other real estate agreement are governed by that agreement and applicable law and are not subject to this Website-only liability cap unless expressly provided otherwise.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible for the independent:

  • Conduct;
  • Statements;
  • Representations;
  • Valuations;
  • Pricing decisions;
  • Offers;
  • Contracts;
  • Due diligence;
  • Privacy practices;
  • Financial ability;
  • Performance; or
  • Failure to perform

Nothing in this section excludes liability that applicable law does not permit us to exclude.

59. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless South Carolina Fire House Buyer and its affiliates, owners, officers, employees, agents, and service providers from claims, liabilities, losses, damages, and reasonable expenses arising from:

  • Your material breach of these Terms;
  • Fraudulent information you knowingly submit;
  • Property information you knowingly submit without authority; or
  • Your violation of another person’s rights.

60. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

61. Venue and Disputes

Subject to applicable jurisdiction, venue, consumer-protection, and transaction-specific requirements, proceedings arising solely from use of the Website or these Terms may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Charleston County, South Carolina.

These Website Terms do not impose mandatory arbitration.

A separately executed purchase agreement, assignment agreement, or other transaction-specific contract may contain different dispute-resolution provisions.

Those provisions govern disputes arising under the particular agreement to the extent enforceable under applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive rights that cannot legally be waived under applicable:

  • South Carolina consumer-protection law;
  • South Carolina Residential Property Condition Disclosure Act requirements;

  • South Carolina telephone-solicitation law;
  • South Carolina communications law;
  • South Carolina mortgage-broker law;
  • Data-breach notification law;
  • Federal disclosure requirements; or
  • Other applicable law.

Where these Terms conflict with a non-waivable legal right, applicable law controls.

63. Relationship to Purchase and Assignment Agreements

These Terms govern Website use.

They do not replace:

  • Real estate purchase agreements;
  • Assignment agreements;
  • Option agreements;
  • Attorney-closing documents;
  • Title documents;
  • Settlement statements; or
  • Other transaction-specific agreements.

If these Terms conflict with a signed agreement concerning a particular property transaction, the signed transaction agreement controls with respect to that transaction except where applicable law provides otherwise.

64. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms periodically.

Updated Terms become effective when posted or on another effective date identified in the revised Terms, subject to applicable law.

65. Severability

If a provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the greatest extent legally permitted or severed as appropriate.

The remaining provisions will remain effective.

66. No Waiver

Failure to enforce a provision does not waive our right to enforce that provision or another provision later.

67. Assignment

You may not assign these Website Terms without our prior written consent.

We may assign these Website Terms in connection with:

  • A merger;
  • Acquisition;
  • Financing;
  • Business restructuring;
  • Affiliate restructuring;
  • Sale of assets; or
  • Similar business transaction,

subject to applicable law.

This Website-level provision does not determine whether a particular real estate purchase agreement is assignable. Assignment of a real estate purchase agreement is governed by that agreement and applicable law.

68. Entire Agreement Regarding Website Use

They do not supersede separately executed real estate transaction documents.
