Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Close with Elevate website, digital content, and related online services operated by Elevate Title ("Elevate," "we," "us," or "our"), including digital experiences associated with the Free and Clear podcast and any Elevate-authorized application or integration. By accessing or using these services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use them.

1. About Elevate

Elevate Title provides title, closing, escrow, short-sale, and related real estate services and operates the Close with Elevate website. Elevate also produces the Free and Clear podcast and related digital content.

2. Website and Digital Services

The website and related digital services are provided for general informational, communication, and business purposes. You may use them only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.

3. Title and Closing Information

Information available through the website is general in nature and does not by itself create a title, escrow, closing, fiduciary, legal, or other professional engagement. Submitting a website form or contacting Elevate does not guarantee acceptance of a transaction or engagement. Specific services may be subject to separate agreements, instructions, disclosures, authorizations, fees, and legal or regulatory requirements.

Website and podcast content is not intended as legal, tax, financial, or other professional advice. You should consult an appropriately qualified professional regarding your specific circumstances.

4. Free and Clear Podcast

The Free and Clear podcast and related videos, clips, posts, interviews, and educational materials are provided for informational and educational purposes. Views expressed by guests or other third parties are their own and do not necessarily represent Elevate. Podcast content should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional advice tailored to a specific transaction or circumstance.

5. Third-Party Platforms and Integrations

Elevate may publish, distribute, manage, or measure content using third-party services and platforms, including Google and YouTube. Elevate may also operate authorized integrations or APIs that connect to third-party platforms. Your use of a third-party platform remains subject to that platform's own terms, policies, and account controls.

Where an integration requires access to a third-party account, you are responsible for authorizing only the permissions you intend to grant. You may revoke third-party authorization using the controls made available by the applicable platform. Elevate's handling of personal information is also governed by its Privacy Policy.

6. User Responsibilities

When using our website, digital services, or authorized integrations, you agree that you will not:

• Use the services for unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, abusive, or unauthorized purposes.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to systems, accounts, data, APIs, networks, or security controls.
• Interfere with or disrupt the operation, availability, or security of the website or related services.
• Upload, transmit, or distribute malicious code, harmful content, or material that violates applicable law or third-party rights.
• Misrepresent your identity, authority, affiliation, or right to authorize access to an account.
• Copy, scrape, reproduce, distribute, or commercially exploit protected content except as permitted by law or with appropriate authorization.

7. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the Close with Elevate website, Elevate branding, Free and Clear branding and original content, graphics, text, audiovisual materials, and other original materials are owned by or licensed to Elevate and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. These Terms do not transfer ownership of any Elevate intellectual property to you.

8. Third-Party Content and Links

Our website and content may contain links to or incorporate services, content, or functionality provided by third parties. Elevate does not control and is not responsible for the availability, content, security, terms, or privacy practices of independent third-party services.

9. Availability and Changes

We may modify, suspend, discontinue, or update website features, digital content, or integrations from time to time. We do not guarantee that every feature or integration will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with every device or third-party platform.

10. Disclaimers

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the website, podcast content, and related digital services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Elevate does not warrant that general website or podcast information will be complete, current, error-free, or suitable for every user's particular purpose. Nothing in these Terms limits obligations that Elevate may separately owe under an executed service agreement or applicable law.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Elevate will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising solely from use of, or inability to use, the public website, podcast content, or related digital functionality. This limitation does not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be limited and does not alter obligations arising under separate transaction or service agreements.

12. Suspension or Termination

Elevate may restrict or terminate access to website or digital functionality where reasonably necessary to address misuse, security risks, unlawful conduct, violations of these Terms, third-party platform requirements, or discontinuation of a service or integration.

13. Privacy

Our collection and handling of personal information is described in the Elevate Title Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy should be reviewed together with these Terms when you use our website or authorize an Elevate digital integration.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes in our services, technology, business practices, third-party platform requirements, or applicable law. The Effective Date above identifies the current version. Continued use after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by law.

15. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where another law is required to apply. These Terms do not replace any governing-law provision contained in a separate written agreement between you and Elevate.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the extent permitted by law.
