Terms and Conditions

1.		Background. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Services Agreement between the Client identified in the Client Information section and LSI (including these Terms and Conditions, any addenda and any document referred to herein), upon acceptance and set-up of Client by LSI, and upon acceptance of each Client order, LSI will furnish Client flood zone determinations, life of loan monitoring, and HMDA census data for loans secured by residential (up to 1-4 multifamily) or commercial property referred to LSI by Client and related information and reports (“Provider Information”) and related services offered by LSI or its suppliers (Provider Information and such related services are referred to collectively as “Services”).
2.		Basic Service: For each property referred to LSI by Client, LSI shall: (a) make a determination, given the best information available, as to whether the improvements on the Subject Property (as defined below) are located in a Special Flood Hazard Area (“SFHA”) as set forth on the applicable Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) flood map effective at the time of the determination; and (b) deliver a report (“Certification”) to Client of such determination on a Standard Flood Hazard Determination Form. Client may use the Certification in connection with the loan transaction for which it was ordered. If Client is not a mortgage lender, Client may transfer a copy of the Certification to the mortgage lender Funding such transaction.
3.		Life of Loan Service:

a.

LSI Responsibility. Upon Client’s request for Life of Loan Service and payment of the applicable fee, LSI will make a determination and deliver a Certification for each order as provided in Basic Service above; and, for the term of the loan identified on the order for the Subject Property, LSI will provide the following Life of Loan Services: (1) monitor such property for: (A) changes to the Special Flood Hazard Area as a result of FEMA flood map revisions; and (B) changes to the community participation status of such property located in an SFHA making flood insurance for such property unavailable; and (2) notify Client of any such change within 60 days of the effective date of the applicable flood map revision or community participation revision.

b.

Client Responsibility. If a loan covered by LSI’s Life of Loan Service is paid off, declined or cancelled, Client shall notify LSI within 30 days of such loan payoff, decline or cancellation. If a loan covered by LSI’s Life of Loan Service is sold and/or servicing is transferred to a subsequent mortgagee, the Client shall notify LSI within 30 days of such sale or transfer. Notification from Client under this sub-section (b) shall be made by mutually acceptable electronic or other means. Failure of Client to timely notify LSI shall release LSI of any obligation to provide services under LSI’s Life of Loan Service for the applicable loan(s) of Client.

4.		Orders. Client orders and LSI Certifications shall be transmitted via mutually acceptable electronic or other means. Client shall furnish a correct and complete property street address, legal description and, if available, tax parcel number for each order (the “Subject Property”). Client acknowledges: (a) that LSI shall have no responsibility to verify that the legal description or tax parcel number matches the street address furnished by Client for the Subject Property; and (b) that LSI will use the street address furnished by Client to locate the Subject Property even in case of a conflict between the street address and either the legal description or the tax parcel number furnished by Client. Normally, LSI will deliver a Certification within 24 hours of receipt of a complete order, but in no event will a response to an order be delivered later than 48 hours after receipt of the order without LSI notifying Client of a delay in processing (e.g., additional research may be required), excluding Saturdays, Sundays and national banking holidays. It is the responsibility of Client to verify: (1) that LSI has received an order for Basic Service if Client has not received a response within two Business Days; and (2) that LST has acknowledged receipt of an order for Life of Loan Service on its invoice for such service.
5.		Charges: Client shall pay the applicable charges then prevailing for the various Services requested using Client Account Codes/Passwords. LSI will invoice Client Payment by Client shall be due 30 days from the invoice or statement date.

Client shall pay a fee of $25 for each check returned (e.g., for non-sufficient funds or account closed). Client may be billed for out-of-pocket costs incurred by LSI to perform expedited service requested by Client. Client is responsible for paying, or reimbursing LSI, for all taxes that may be imposed in connection with the Services furnished to Client by or for LSI, excluding there from only taxes based on net income of LSL.
6.		Certain Remedies: If Client is delinquent in any payment or has otherwise breached any term of this Agreement, LSI shall have the unrestricted right to suspend or terminate service immediately, without prior notice, including any requests currently in process. Should LSI, or any of its suppliers, suspect or become aware of any past or continuing misuse or unauthorized use of any Client Account Code, Password or system used to access Services, then LSI reserves the right to cancel Client’s Account Codes/Passwords and terminate access to

		Services immediately, with or without prior notice to Client. Client waives any and all claims for damages arising out of any rejection of orders or any suspension, cancellation or termination of this Agreement or of any Services. Any such rejection, suspension, cancellation or termination shall not limit any other right or remedy to which LSI is otherwise entitled nor discharge any obligation of Client arising hereunder.
