II. ARMC's Representations

ARMC makes the following representations to Broker regarding itself and any loans that are true and correct now and shall remain true and correct during the term of this Agreement:

  1. Loan Approval. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, ARMC is under no obligation to fund any loan submitted to it by Broker and may, in its sole discretion reject any loan it feels does not meet its underwriting criteria, standards or guidelines. Even after a loan has been approved, ARMC shall not fund said loan until all conditions deemed necessary by ARMC have been satisfied;
  2. Rate Sheets. ARMC shall provide rate sheets to Brokers that are not intended for third parties. They do not include important items for consumers such as APR, etc. It is the Brokers responsibility to make certain that any rate sheets provided to consumers meet all applicable laws and regulations and not merely distribute ARMC rates as they appear on this Website intended only for licensed real estate professionals;
  3. No Warranties on information supplied by ARMC. ARMC and its suppliers make no representations whatsoever about the information contained herein. ARMC and its suppliers are not liable for special, indirect or consequential damages or any damages resulting from loss of use, data or profits, whether in an action of contract negligence or other tort, arising out of or in connection with the use or performance of information or failure to provide services or information available on the ARMC Website.
  4. Locking of Rates. ARMC shall not honor a lock request if the request is not submitted prior to the lock cut-off time, there has been a change in the rates, the lock information is inaccurate or incomplete, the pricing is not in accordance with the pricing offered at the time the lock is received (this includes locks received after mid-day rate changes), the program will not allow for the terms requested or the information supplied by the broker is not accurate. ARMC will notify the Broker of confirmation of their lock the same day as received. The Broker must notify ARMC within 24 hours of any discrepancies. If Broker submits a loan with no, partial or inaccurate lock information, ARMC will automatically float the submission until such time as Broker can be contacted and a correct lock request can be obtained.
