Your preliminary quote is based on general assumptions about you (the buyer/borrower) and the property for which you are seeking a quote, which may not be applicable to your transaction. The following is a list of assumptions we assume, but this list is not definitive. Your quote assumes that your property is a residential property with 1-5 units; no survey is required; your lending institution is not a credit union; your deed and mortgage will be recorded concurrently; you are not a first-time home buyer; the property in question will be owner occupied and your principal residence; the property is not an unimproved property; the property is not subject to Agricultural Transfer Tax and you are not filing a Declaration of Intent for agricultural use; that you do not qualify for a partial exemption based on certain qualifications such as blindness, disability, or senior age status; your transaction does not qualify as a conveyance of low or moderate income housing; that you are not required to pay all transfer taxes; that the transaction is not CEMA; that the property is a single-family residence; that the property is not currently a rental property that will be used as a first-time residence; that your property is not a cooperative; that your lender does not require Endorsements beyond the standard endorsements assumed. Because your preliminary quote factors in assumptions that may or may not be applicable to your transaction, which may have raised or lowered the price of your quote, to get an accurate guaranteed quote you should reach out to Aqutitle with your transaction details.

In no event shall Aqutitle be liable for any direct, indirect, special, punitive, incidental, exemplary, or consequential damages, or any damages whatsoever (including lost profits), even if Aqutitle has been previously advised of possibility of such damages, whether in an action under contract, negligence, or any other theory, arising out of or in connecting with the use, inability to use, or performance of the information, services, products, and materials available from Aqutitle, except where required by law.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Aqutitle, its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors and third party suppliers from and against all losses, expenses, damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, resulting from any violation of these terms and conditions or any activity related to your account (including, but not limited to, negligent or wrongful conduct), by you or any other person accessing the website using your User ID and password.

The parties shall, within thirty (30) days of such demand for arbitration, select a mutually agreeable arbitrator and submit the dispute to such arbitrator for binding arbitration, through the New York County American Arbitration Association Regional Office, under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be appointed in accordance with the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association.
