2. SERVICE-SPECIFIC TERMS

Certain terms and conditions are specific to certain of our Services.  We’ve
broken those out below.


2.1 OPENDOOR ESTIMATES

An Opendoor Home Value, Offer Preview, Preliminary Offer, Instant Offer, and/or
Estimated Offer (each an “Opendoor Estimate”) is an estimate calculated using
publicly-available information and Opendoor’s proprietary valuation model. It
typically takes into account hundreds of data sets related to your home and its
location.

An Opendoor Estimate is not an appraisal. It is an invitation for you to request
an offer to purchase your home (an “Opendoor Offer”).


2.2 SELLING TO OPENDOOR


2.2.1 OPENDOOR OFFERS

An Opendoor Offer is an offer by Opendoor to purchase a home.  You will be
eligible to receive an Opendoor Offer after you provide us with information
about your home and (i) you are the owner or represent the owner of the home,
(ii) the home is in one of our service areas, (iii) the home meets our current
home-buying parameters, which may change from time to time for a given service
area under our sole discretion and (iv) we have had an opportunity to assess
your home.

An Opendoor Offer is not an appraisal. It is the purchase price Opendoor is
willing to pay for your home, subject to additional terms, conditions, and fees
outlined in the offer.

In the event that Opendoor makes you an offer on your home, Opendoor is not
acting as your real estate agent or broker; nor does Opendoor represent you in
any capacity as a seller. Opendoor is merely acting as, or on behalf of, a
purchaser of real estate. As a seller, you have the right, and it is your
responsibility, to independently evaluate and decide whether to accept the
Opendoor Offer.


2.2.2 SERVICE CHARGE

Your Opendoor Offer will reflect a figure for Opendoor’s service charge. This
service charge helps cover the expenses Opendoor incurs in buying and reselling
your home, including holding costs like taxes, utilities, and maintenance.
Service charge may vary dependent on anticipated costs for the particular home.
It does not include negotiated repairs costs or third party charges related to
the settlement of the sale.


2.2.3 AFTER YOU’VE SOLD

Please ensure you’ve contacted the U.S. Postal Service to set up address
forwarding to your new address effective as of your close date. Also, be sure to
update your address anywhere that you regularly order packages from.  Once your
home sale has closed, we disclaim all liability for any mail or packages
delivered to the property.


2.3 VISITING AN OPENDOOR HOME


2.3.1 AUTHORIZED ACCESS

By accessing any home owned by Opendoor (an “Opendoor Home”), you certify and
agree you are entering the home with the express purpose of (1) evaluating the
home for potential purchase, or (2) engaged in authorized business with
Opendoor.  You acknowledge that each access request grants up to 1 hour of time
in the home, unless you have express permission from Opendoor for extended
on-site presence. Opendoor may revoke permission to access one or more of its
homes at any time.  If you are asked to leave one Opendoor Home, you lose
permission to go to any future Opendoor Home unless you receive notification
otherwise from Opendoor.


2.3.2 AUTHORIZED ACTIVITIES

By entering an Opendoor Home, you acknowledge and agree that you will not, and
will not assist or enable others, to:

 * breach or circumvent any applicable law, or terms of this Agreement;
 * access the home if under the age of 18;
 * smoke, vape, consume alcohol, or use any illicit or illegal substances on the
   Premises;
 * abandon, leave behind, dump, or otherwise discard any property including, but
   not limited to, flyers, pamphlets, marketing or promotional materials, trash,
   garbage, waste product, or any other type of personal property on the
   Premises without the express consent of Opendoor;
 * remove any property from the Premises other than marketing or promotional
   materials provided by Opendoor for such use;
 * use any facilities in the home including, but not limited to, pools, showers,
   and appliances other than for the purpose of examining them in the course of
   reasonable evaluation for purchasing the home;
 * request access other than through a method authorized by Opendoor (authorized
   methods include the Opendoor Mobile App, text-to-enter, and a phone call to
   Opendoor’s  Customer Support line);
 * enter the home other than through the front door;
 * bring any weapon including, but not limited to guns, knives, blunt-force
   objects, and projectiles into the home or surrounding yard;
 * avoid, bypass, remove, deactivate, impair, or otherwise attempt to circumvent
   any technological or security measure implemented by Opendoor or any other
   third party to protect Opendoor Homes and their contents and surroundings,
   Services, customers, and/or visitors; or
 * violate or infringe anyone else’s rights or otherwise cause harm to anyone.

If, in accessing an Opendoor Home, whether through an authorized method or not,
you provide access to any individuals who have not expressly accepted this
Agreement, you accept legal and financial responsibility for their behavior
including for any breaches by them of Section 2.3 of this Agreement.

By accessing any Opendoor Home, you accept legal and financial responsibility
for any damage you cause to the Premises and, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, any bodily, mental, or personal injury, including death, relating to or
arising from accessing or visiting the Premises.


2.4 BUYING AN OPENDOOR HOME


2.4.1 AS-IS CONVEYANCE

If you contract to purchase a home from Opendoor (“Seller”), you (“Buyer”) agree
to the following additional terms and conditions regarding your purchase of the
home (the “Property”).  In the event of any conflict with the terms of the
Purchase and Sale Contract (“Purchase Contract”) governing the purchase of the
Property, the Purchase Contract shall prevail.

Seller has provided Buyer with an opportunity to inspect the Property, and
strongly encourages Buyer to seek an inspection on the Property by a licensed
home inspector. Buyer further recognizes Seller has not resided in the Property
and has limited knowledge thereof. Accordingly, to the fullest extent permitted
by law and under the terms of the Purchase Contract:

BUYER AGREES THAT BUYER IS ACQUIRING THE PROPERTY ON AN “AS IS, AND WITH ALL
FAULTS BASIS” WITHOUT REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR COVENANTS OF ANY KIND WITH
RESPECT TO THE QUALITY, PHYSICAL CONDITION OR VALUE OF THE PROPERTY, THE
PRESENCE OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES IN OR NEAR THE PROPERTY, OR EXPENSES ASSOCIATED
WITH THE PROPERTY.

BUYER WAIVES ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY AS TO HABITABILITY AND/OR, ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTY AS TO THE WORKMANSHIP OF ANY REPAIRS OR MODIFICATIONS PERFORMED ON THE
PROPERTY.

BUYER AGREES IT HAS HAD AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL COUNSEL OF ITS
CHOOSING, AND IS RELYING SOLELY ON ITS OWN INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT AND THAT OF ITS
OWN PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANTS, IF ANY, IN ENTERING INTO THE PURCHASE CONTRACT AND
PURCHASING THE PROPERTY.

BUYER WILL CONDUCT SUCH INSPECTIONS OF THE PROPERTY AS BUYER DEEMS NECESSARY
AND, IF BUYER ELECTS TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY, AND AGREES TO ASSUME THE RISK OF
ANY ADVERSE CONDITIONS, INCLUDING ADVERSE CONDITIONS THAT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN
REVEALED BY SUCH INSPECTIONS. 


2.5 BROKERAGE REPRESENTATION AND REFERRALS


2.5.1 ABOUT THE OPENDOOR BROKERAGES

Opendoor Labs Inc. is the parent company of three real estate brokerages,
Opendoor Brokerage LLC, Opendoor Brokerage Inc. (CalDRE# 02061130) and OD Homes
Brokerage Inc. (collectively, the “Opendoor Brokerages,” and each, an “Opendoor
Brokerage”).

Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) notices:

Information About Brokerage Services

Consumer Protection Notice

These brokerages have contractual relationships with certain multiple listing
services (MLSs) that allow them to show you certain pictures and data related to
listed and previously listed properties. Unless you are a licensed agent, you
agree:

 * to use this data only for personal use, and not for commercial uses;
 * that you will not redistribute or otherwise use the data except in connection
   with your consideration of the purchase or sale of an individual property;
   and
 * that the MLS that supplies the data owns such data and has proprietary rights
   and copyright to such data.


2.5.2 REPRESENTATION OF OPENDOOR

In the event you choose to buy an Opendoor Home or sell your home to Opendoor,
an Opendoor Brokerage will represent Opendoor in the transaction.


2.5.3 WORKING WITH AN OPENDOOR PARTNER AGENT

At your request, an Opendoor Brokerage can refer you to a third-party agent that
can represent you in your home purchase or sale (“Opendoor Partner Agent”), and
you may be eligible for promotions for working with that agent. Should you
choose to work with that agent, the referring brokerage will receive a referral
fee. However, we never require you to choose any particular agent to buy or sell
a home.


2.5.4 WORKING WITH AN OPENDOOR AGENT – AGENCY RELATIONSHIPS

In certain service areas, you may have the option to be represented by an agent
at an Opendoor Brokerage (an “Opendoor Agent”) in your home purchase or sale. 
However, an Opendoor Agent will not be able to represent you if you sell your
home to Opendoor, and may not be able to represent you in other types of
transactions where an Opendoor Brokerage is representing another party.  In
those instances, you remain welcome to work with an Opendoor Partner Agent or
another agent of your choice

Opendoor Agents may only enter into single agency representation agreements. 
Dual agency is prohibited for Opendoor Agents including in service areas where
dual agency is permitted by law. Dual Agency or Limited Agency may occur in
transactions where a buyer and a seller are both represented by an Opendoor
Brokerage.  Where eligible Disclosed Dual Agency transactions occur, only the
designated broker may be entered into dual agency representation; each client
will have separate single agency representation in the transaction.


2.5.5 OPENDOOR TOUR ASSISTANTS

In eligible markets, at your request, an agent will meet you to help facilitate
visits to homes (“Tour Assistant”). Prior to a home tour, you will receive an
email with information about your Tour Assistant. Please note that visiting a
home with a Tour Assistant does not establish an agency or contractual
relationship between you and that Tour Assistant. We always welcome you to seek
representation from the agent of your choice.


2.5.6 OPENDOOR ACCESS PROGRAM

Opendoor’s Agent Access program and all advertising and marketing associated is
provided by Opendoor Labs Inc.  All commissions are paid through the Opendoor
Brokerages.


2.5.7 OPENDOOR EXCLUSIVE LISTINGS

Opendoor Exclusive Listings homes are owned and advertised by Opendoor and its
affiliated companies.  No listing, advertising, or marketing services are
provided by, and no commissions received by, the Opendoor Brokerages as part of
the Exclusive Listings Program.


2.6 CURRENT OPENDOOR PROMOTIONS

Please note that, from time to time, we may advertise estimates of what
customers can receive pursuant to a given Opendoor promotion.  However, the
final amounts you will receive, if eligible, will depend on factors like the
final price of the home you buy or sell, as well as other associated costs like
agent commissions.  Consult with your Opendoor representative for more details
as to how these promotions apply to your home sale or purchase. Unless otherwise
stated, Opendoor promotions may not be combined.  


2.6.1 BUYER REFUND INCENTIVE

In certain of our service areas, if you use an Opendoor Agent or Opendoor
Partner Agent to purchase a home, you can save up to 1% off the purchase price
of the home in the form of a commission refund at closing.

The amount is subject to a minimum commission to your agent of $3,000, which
means it is calculated as the lesser of either (a) 1% of the price of the
property you buy, or (b) your agent’s commission minus $3,000. It may be reduced
on the basis of purchase type (e.g., short sale), loan or lender restrictions,
seller contributions, or law.


2.6.2 OPENDOOR BACKED OFFER PROGRAM

The Opendoor Backed Offer Program is designed to help customers to make offers
to purchase eligible homes without the burden of financing, appraisal, and home
sale contingencies. To learn more about the program, including active service
areas, and answers to commonly asked questions, visit offer.opendoor.com. Review
your program documents for full details.

 * The property was not bought at a foreclosure, probate, or short sale

In the case of a Third Party Home, you must provide a copy of a licensed general
inspection report, and we reserve the right not to offer the Guarantee if there
is any material defect identified in the report (e.g., foundation issues, roof
damage, inoperable HVAC systems, unpermitted additions) or if we determine the
purchase price is materially above the fair market value of the home. We will
contact you within 48 hours of receipt of the report if this is the case.

Additionally, to qualify, you must have purchased the home as a primary
residence, and moved into and resided in the home. You may not lease or
otherwise permit tenants in the home. And you may not have previously returned
another home to Opendoor in the past 36 months.

Return Conditions

To return the home, send an email to buyback@opendoor.com no later than ninety
(90) days after the close of escrow (the “Closing Date”) with the following
information:

 * The address of the home.
 * The Closing Date.
 * A request to return the home under the Guarantee.
 * The date on which you will move out of the Property, which must be within 40
   days from the date the email notice is sent (“Notice Date”).

You will then fill out a short application certifying that (1) you purchased the
home as a primary residence and resided in it, (2) no tenants were permitted to
reside at the home, (3) you have not previously returned another home to
Opendoor in the past 36 months, and (4) you will fully vacate and remove
belongings from the home within 40 days of the Notice Date.

Before we re-purchase the home, the following must also be true:

 * There has been no Material Detrimental Change to the property since the
   Closing Date. “Material Detrimental Change” shall mean any change or changes
   to the property subsequent to the Closing Date, regardless of its cause,
   that, taken individually or together, materially impact the property’s value
   or habitability, as determined in Opendoor’s reasonable, good faith sole
   discretion, including, but not limited to, non-minor damage to the property;
   removal or modification of any major fixtures; impacts by acts of God, fire,
   flood, hail, wind, earthquake, war, epidemic, riot or terrorism, casualty
   loss; a housing market decline represented by a 5% or greater annualized
   decline in the seasonally adjusted Case-Shiller Home Price Index for the
   region in which the property is located measured over the most recent month
   for which the index is available; a stock market decline represented by a 10%
   or greater annualized decline in the S&P 500 Index measured from the Closing
   Date to the Notice Date; or in the event that Opendoor becomes insolvent or
   files for bankruptcy.
 * Your certifications in your return application must be true, accurate, and
   complete at the time of the return closing.
 * All liens and encumbrances incurred since the Closing Date must be paid in
   full or otherwise removed by the Buyer at or prior to the return closing.
 * Any solar lease, loan, or power purchase agreement must be fully pre-paid and
   transferred to Opendoor at or prior to the return closing.
 * Title to the property has not changed since the Closing Date and there may be
   no disputes affecting title or liens, other than those arising due to any act
   by Opendoor.

Following receipt of your notice and application, unless the home does not
otherwise qualify for the Guarantee, we will schedule an assessment to evaluate
the condition of the home. We agree to schedule the assessment and you agree to
facilitate it within 5 days of receiving your notice and application. We will
give you the results of the assessment within 5 days of completing it.

Subject to meeting all the above conditions, Opendoor will purchase the home
from you pursuant to its standard form agreement, which we will provide to you,
for the following price:

The purchase price of the home on the Closing Date minus seller concessions
reflected on the closing statement (“Adjusted Purchase Price”) less a 3% fee
(the “Return Fee”), less any commission refund you received for working with an
Opendoor Agent or Opendoor Partner Agent (“Commission Refund”). If our
assessment discloses needed repairs, we will also identify and debit repair
costs.

For the avoidance of doubt, Opendoor’s maximum financial obligation associated
with a return under the 90-Day Guarantee will not exceed 97% of the Adjusted
Purchase Price.
