This Lead Sale Plan ("Plan") Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between The QBI Companies (Getqbi, LLC and QBI, LLC), a California limited liability company (“QBI”) and (“Lead Purchaser”) (together, the “Parties”).  This Agreement is effective as of the date of last signature below (the “Effective Date”).  

 

RECITALS

QBI is a company that offers a trademarked process of measuring an individual’s readiness for potential homeownership based on certain information self-reported by the individual in response to questions relating to credit-readiness, housing affordability, and information fundamental to the loan approval process. 

​

Lead Purchaser is a mortgage company that originates, underwrites, and funds mortgage loans using its own funds and sells some of those loans to CBC Mortgage Agency and desires to markets its products and services to potential mortgage borrowers.  

In the course of its business, QBI is in a position to identify prospective borrowers who are interested in buying a home, with or without possible downpayment assistance.

​

The Parties desire to enter into this Agreement so that QBI can sell to Lead Purchaser the name and contact information for persons who are potentially interested in obtaining products or services from lenders in the near future (“Leads”). 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

​

AGREEMENT

  1. Recitals.  The foregoing recitals are hereby incorporated into and made a part of the Agreement, including all defined terms referenced therein.

  2. Leads.  QBI shall furnish to Lead Purchaser the name and contact information for each Lead.  QBI shall ensure that all required permissions, if any, under applicable law are obtained to provide the Leads to Lead Purchaser.  

    1. Delivery of Leads.   Lead data is to be delivered to Lead Purchaser in a format and to a location as mutually agreed upon. 

    2. No Guarantees or Warranties for Leads.  QBI makes no guarantees, representations, or promises to Lead Purchaser regarding the quality of the Leads, the potential value of the Leads to Lead Purchaser, the revenue that Lead Purchaser may derive from the Leads, or the likelihood or propensity of the Leads to conduct any business with Lead Purchaser.  The Leads are provided on an “as-is, where-is” basis without any express or implied warranties of any kind, including warranties of merchantability or fitness for any purpose. 

    3. No Referrals.  The Parties agree that they do not intend for the Leads to be “referrals” or for QBI to “affirmatively influence” the selection of Lead Purchaser as a lender as those terms are used in the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, 12 U.S.C. § 2607, and its implementing regulation.  To that end, QBI shall refrain from recommending Lead Purchaser to any Leads or from otherwise referring any Leads to Lead Purchaser, including, but not limited to, identifying Lead Purchaser as a potential “match” for any prospect or as a “preferred” lender or other similar designation, or by discussing its qualities.  Likewise, Lead Purchaser shall refrain from informing any Lead, directly or indirectly, that Lead Purchaser contacted the Lead at the suggestion of QBI.

  3. Compensation.  Lead Purchaser shall pay to QBI as set forth on the Website for access to all Lead data generated within QBI’s platform.  Payment shall be made as set forth on the Website.  Lead Purchaser will pay these fees to QBI, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, regardless of the quantity of Leads actually generated during such quarterly period, regardless of the QBI score associated with a given Lead, and whether or not Lead Purchaser actually receives a mortgage loan application or extends a loan to any person included within the Lead data.  

  4. Term and Termination.  This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue for one year unless terminated earlier as follows.  This Agreement may be terminated by either Party upon thirty (30) days prior notice to the other Party.  Upon termination, Lead Purchaser shall immediately cease to have access to Lead data.  Notwithstanding any other part of this Agreement, should it be determined by a court of law, new interpretation of a court ruling, or change in regulation, that this Agreement violates any state, federal, or governmental law or regulation, this Agreement shall terminate immediately, and no further payments shall be due to QBI.  Subject to the foregoing, termination by either Party shall not otherwise relieve the Parties of any obligations or liabilities incurred prior to the effective date of such termination.

  5. Other Terms and Conditions. 

    1. Representation and Warranty.  Each Party has all necessary right, power and authority and has taken all necessary action to enter into and perform this Agreement and to grant the rights herein. 

    2. Relationship. The relationship between QBI and Lead Purchaser shall be that of independent contractors and neither Party shall be or represent itself to be an agent, employee, partner or joint venture of or with the other, nor shall either Party have or represent itself to have any power or authority to act for, bind or commit the other.

    3. Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersede all oral or written negotiations of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

    4. Interpretation. The headings used for the provisions of this Agreement are provided for convenience only and should not be used in interpreting this Agreement where necessary.

    10. Indemnification.  Any Party that fails to adhere to the No Referrals provision in Paragraph 2(c) above shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Party from and against any third-party claims against one or both of the Parties arising out of conduct.
