** mellohome GRAND SLAM TERMS & CONDITIONS

The following disclosures, terms, conditions, and restrictions apply to all Grand Slam options (except as expressly indicated below):

The mellohome Grand Slam is not available in Alabama, Alaska, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Tennessee. Offer is only valid where mellohome has network real estate agents available. Some program features and benefits may not be available in other states.

Customers must (a) enter into a purchase contract with a mellohome approved partner agent and (b) close on said home pursuant to the purchase contract, with the previously retained mellohome approved partner agent, no later than 12 months after accepting a Buy-and-Sell Grand Slam certificate, 24 months after accepting a Buy Grand Slam certificate, or 6 months after accepting a Sell Grand Slam certificate, whichever is shorter. A certificate is considered accepted upon receipt. Offer void where mellohome approved partners are not available and partners may not be available in all markets. mellohome partners are not employees of mellohome.

For Buy-and-Sell Grand Slam and Buy Grand Slam Offers, once the customer has entered into a purchase contract facilitated by a mellohome network real estate agent, the customer must lock a mortgage loan rate with loanDepot. The mortgage for the purchase transaction must close with loanDepot. Buy-and-Sell Grand Slam and Buy Grand Slam Offers are subject to credit approval by loanDepot and upon other applicable mortgage application terms and conditions. The Buy-and-Sell Grand Slam and the Buy Grand Slam Offers are not available without a loanDepot mortgage.

Minimum purchase price and loan amounts must fall within loanDepot loan program guidelines to be eligible for the Buy-and-Sell Grand Slam and the Buy Grand Slam. The Grand Slam Program may not be available for certain loan programs based on cash back and other restrictions. The Offer is not available for refinance transactions.

mellohome will pay the corresponding cash back directly to the customer within 30 days after closing of all transactions needed to qualify for the customer’s corresponding Grand Slam program, unless required by state law to be provided at closing. Customers’ use of mellohome network Realtors must be confirmed to mellohome’s satisfaction.

Tax laws may require mellohome to collect your tax identification number and/or social security number and to issue you a 1099-MISC or 1099 form. mellohome may also be required to report the benefits provided to you under the Grand Slam Program to the Internal Revenue Service. Please consult your tax advisor.

The cash back is subject to adjustments or cancellation if mellohome is required to share any portion of the real estate transaction commissions with parties other than the buyer’s agent and the seller’s agent, or if mellohome is otherwise prohibited by law or contract from distributing the cash back to customers. In some cases, parties to a purchase and/or sale transaction, or certain lenders financing a loan transaction, will not allow a buyer to receive a cash back and/or may otherwise restrict mellohome from distributing any or all of the cash back offered here in. Customers should discuss the Grand Slam Program with parties to a real estate transaction and with their lender regarding the program benefits. After issuance of an offer certificate, customers must promptly advise mellohome of sales price changes or changes to participants in purchase and sale transactions (including, without limitation, changes in the buyer, seller, lender, or real estate agent). Such changes could affect customer eligibility for Grand Slam program. Although you were not required to use a mellohome network agent or to close your loan with loanDepot, as explained in these terms, the Offer is no longer valid if you do not use a mellohome network agent or if you do not use a loanDepot mortgage to finance your home purchase.

By accepting mellohome’s first time home buyer Grand Slam promotion, you acknowledge you have not owned or have not had a vested interest in real property within the last (3) years, validation of such ownership may include information provided from credit reporting bureau s and public records via 3rd parties. First time home buyer eligibility and requirements for home mortgage financing are separate of those for mellohome and may include but not be limited to similar eligibility and requirements.

Offers cannot be retroactively applied to previously closed loans or loans already in process. Only one offer valid per transaction. Offer is non-transferable and may not be used with other discounts, promotions, or special pricing. Participation in the Grand Slam program is optional and is not required in order to obtain services from loanDepot or mellohome.

Each of these businesses may refer you to the services of another and each are owned directly or indirectly by LD Holdings Group, LLC. Because of these relationships, the referral of a customer by any of the affiliated companies to another may provide the referring company, its parent companies, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and/or their employees, with a financial or other benefit. You are not required to use any of these service providers as a condition for the purchase, sale, or refinance of any subject property or to obtain access to any settlement service. There are frequently other settlement service providers available with similar services. You are free to shop around to determine that you are receiving the best service and the best rate. For more information, see affiliated business arrangement disclosures provided by mellohome and affiliates.

The Offer may include products or services offered by third parties unaffiliated with mellohome or its affiliates. Neither mellohome nor its affiliates make any representation about the quality, fitness for use, or any other aspect of such goods or services, and neither mellohome nor its affiliates will be responsible for customers’ use or non-use of such products or services, or for any monthly, subscription, or other recurring charges and fees associated with such products or services.

mellohome reserves the right to rescind or modify the terms of the offer without prior notice.

The Closing Guarantee is only available for Buy -and-Sell Grand Slams and Buy Grand Slams where the purchase contract has not been signed as of the date of the Buyer’s referral to mellohome and the date of issuance of a Grand Slam certificate to the Buyer. The Closing Guarantee is only valid for purchase of a property where loanDepot is licensed to do business and is void where prohibited by law.

Total potential payout under the Closing Guarantee is $1,000 to Buyer and $1,000 to Seller, regardless of the number of individual borrowers and sellers participating in the purchase transaction. Only the Buyer can make a claim against the Closing Guarantee.

Buyer and Seller must enter into a standard purchase agreement with close of escrow date scheduled at least 30 days after signing the agreement and the completed RESPA/TRID ap plication date, whichever is later.

The claim must be sent in writing by email to hello@mellohome.com and must include a copy of the borrower’s name, address of the subject property, loan number, confirmation that all eligibility criteria were met, and a reason for the claim. loanDepot and/or mellohome may request additional information and may perform multiple independent reviews of the relevant loan files, documents, and facts before assessing the validity of a claim.1

Tax laws may require loanDepot and/or mellohome to collect Buyer’s and/or Seller’s tax identification number and/or social security number and to issue Buyer and/or Seller a 1099 -MISC or 1099 form. loanDepot and/or mellohome may also be required to report any payments made under the Closing Guarantee to Buyer and/or Seller to the Internal Revenue Service.
