Terms of Service

Accepting these terms

These Terms of Service govern your use of seasidehorizon.com, operated by Seaside Horizon Ventures (“we,” “us,” “our”). By browsing the site or sending us a form, you agree to them. If you do not, please do not use the site.

These terms cover the website. They are not a purchase agreement. If we go on to transact, a signed contract governs that transaction, and where it conflicts with anything here, the contract wins.

You must be at least 18 and legally able to enter a contract to use this site.

We buy as principals — we are not your agent

We are real estate investors. We buy for our own account and we hold an economic interest in every deal we make. On some transactions we assign the contract to another buyer, or bring in a funding partner, before closing.

Nothing on this site — a conversation, an emailed number, a walkthrough — creates an agency, brokerage, fiduciary, partnership or employment relationship between us. We owe you honesty and fair dealing. We do not owe you the duties a licensed agent owes a client, because we are not acting as one.

Where a transaction involves a licensed professional, that person’s licence and their duties are their own, and are disclosed in writing at the time.

Nothing here is legal, tax or financial advice

Everything on this site is general information about how we work. It is not legal advice, tax advice, accounting advice, or investment advice, it is not a recommendation about your particular situation, and reading it creates no professional relationship of any kind.

This matters most with creative structures. Seller financing and subject-to arrangements carry real obligations that outlast the closing, and they interact with your existing mortgage, your credit and your taxes in ways that depend on facts we cannot see from here. We explain them plainly, and we still want your own attorney and tax advisor to read the paperwork before you sign it.

Offers, estimates, and what they are not

Nothing on this site is an offer to buy a specific property. Sending us a form starts a conversation. It does not oblige either of us to anything.

Any number we discuss before we have seen title work and inspected the property is an estimate based on what you have told us, and it is subject to change or withdrawal. A binding offer exists only when it is in writing and signed.

Timelines we quote reflect deals we have actually closed. They are not a promise. Title defects, payoff surprises, lender conditions and inspection findings sit outside our control, and we will not commit to a date we cannot hold. We will tell you early if we see a problem rather than let a closing date pass quietly.

Track record, testimonials and results

The closed transactions and testimonials on this site are real. They describe what specific properties sold for on specific dates, or what specific people experienced. They are individual results.

They do not price your house and they do not predict your outcome. Yours is a different property, in a different condition, in a different market, at a different time. No one who appears in a testimonial was paid for it.

What you send us

When you send us a form or documents, you confirm that the information is accurate as far as you know, that you have the right to share it, and that you are the owner of the property or authorised to act for the owner. If you are an agent, you confirm you have your client’s permission to share what you are sharing.

You keep ownership of what you send. You give us permission to use it to evaluate the property, prepare an offer, and, if you accept, close the transaction. How we handle it is set out in our Privacy Policy.

Please do not send financial account numbers or identification documents through this website or by ordinary email. We do not ask for them, and email is not a secure channel.

Electronic communications

By contacting us electronically you agree that we may respond electronically, and that agreements, notices and disclosures delivered by email or through an electronic signature service satisfy any requirement that they be in writing. You may withdraw that agreement for future communications by telling us at kris@seasidehorizon.com; it does not undo anything already signed.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• submit false, misleading or impersonated information, or another person’s details without their permission;
• use our forms to send spam, solicitations or automated submissions;
• scrape, harvest or systematically copy content or contact details from this site;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site or any system behind it; or
• use the site in any way that breaks the law or interferes with anyone else’s use of it.

We may block access for anyone doing any of the above, without notice.

Our content

The text, design, photography, video and logos on this site belong to Seaside Horizon Ventures or to the parties who licensed them to us, and are protected by copyright and trademark law. You may read, print and share pages for your own non-commercial use. Republishing, reselling, or using this content to promote another business needs our written permission.

Links to other sites

We link to third-party sites and services — scheduling, social profiles, property records — as a convenience. We do not control them, we do not endorse everything on them, and we are not responsible for their content, accuracy or practices. Your use of those sites is governed by their terms.

The site is provided as is

We work to keep this site accurate and available, but we provide it “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that property information, market figures or estimates shown here are complete or current. Some states do not allow certain warranty exclusions, in which case those exclusions may not apply to you.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Seaside Horizon Ventures and its members, managers and employees are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost opportunity or lost data, arising out of your use of this site or your reliance on anything published on it — even if we were told such damages were possible.

Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability arising from your use of this site is limited to one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Seaside Horizon Ventures harmless from claims, losses and reasonable legal fees arising out of your misuse of this site, your breach of these terms, or information you submitted that you had no right to submit or knew to be false.

Governing law, and where disputes are heard

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute arising from this website or these terms will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Sangamon County, Illinois, and we both consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

Before filing anything, please call or email us. Most disagreements are a misunderstanding that a conversation settles faster and cheaper than a court does.

Where a transaction is governed by a signed purchase agreement, that agreement’s governing law and dispute provisions control for that transaction.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. When we do, we change the effective date at the top of this page, and the revised terms apply from the day they are posted. Continuing to use the site after that means you accept them. Changes are not retroactive and do not alter an agreement already signed.

The rest of the fine print

• Severability. If a court finds any part of these terms unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
• No waiver. If we do not enforce a provision on one occasion, we have not given it up.
• Assignment. You may not assign these terms. We may assign them to a successor to our business.
• Entire agreement. These terms and our Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us about this website, and replace anything said about it earlier.
• Headings. Section headings are for navigation and carry no legal weight of their own.
