Thank you for using Quali. These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) are an agreement between you (the “user,” “you” or “your”) and Real Quali, Inc. d/b/a Quali (“Quali,” “we,” “us” or “our”), which governs your access to and use of our website www.realquali.com, our lead generation platform, services and any of our websites, mobile applications, products, media forms and/or channels (collectively, the “Services”).
By using or accessing our Services in any way, you acknowledge and agree that you are subject to the Terms herein, as well as our Privacy Policy, and the Referral Agreement, which also govern your use of and access to the Services, and are incorporated fully herein by reference. Collectively, the Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the Referral Agreement make up the entire “Agreement” between you and Quali, which is legally binding on you as an individual, and, if you represent a business entity, on that business entity as well.
Our Services are intended for users who are at least 18 years old or otherwise have the permission of their
parent(s) or legal guardian(s) to access the Services.
Please read these Terms carefully, as they contain important information about limitations of liability and
resolution of disputes through arbitration rather than court.
Quali is a real estate lead generation platform that connects buyer and seller leads with top real estate agents in exchange for percentages of commissions after closings. Quali focuses on quality, by generating, qualifying, and nurturing leads before turning them over to agents, which increases the likelihood of successful transactions. We are highly selective in our screening processes, and we consistently find ways to incentivize and add value to the performance of the real estate agents with whom we do business. This is how we create and continue our proven track record.
Quali is not a party to any rental, purchase or other real estate agreement between you and third-party consumers. This is true even in the event that you are able to use our Services to interact with consumers, set appointment times, track transaction progress, or otherwise engage in customer relationship management functions (“CRM”). As a result, any part of an actual or potential transaction between you and a consumer, including the quality, condition, safety or legality of the properties advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings (including the content thereof or any review relating to any traveler or property), are solely the responsibility of each user. Additionally, prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
You agree to be responsible for, and agree to abide by, all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the services you provide and your use of our Services. You further agree that you are responsible for and agree to abide by all laws, rules, ordinances, or regulations applicable to conduct of your real estate business, including but not limited to any and all laws, rules, ordinances, regulations or other requirements relating to taxes, credit cards, data and privacy, permits or license requirements, zoning ordinances, safety compliance and compliance with all anti-discrimination and fair housing laws, as applicable. Please be aware that, even though we are not a party to any transaction, there may be circumstances where we are nevertheless legally obligated (as we may determine in our sole discretion) to provide information related to your services in order to comply with requests from governmental bodies in relation to investigations, litigation or administrative proceedings, and we may choose to comply with such obligations in our sole discretion. You agree to provide disclosures (in the form we provide) to any third party upon our request.
By signing up to use our Services, you are granted a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to access and use the Services solely for the purpose of accepting leads, tracking leads, communicating with Quali and/or leads, and other related services as permitted by Quali and in accordance with these Terms.

We charge a fee for our Services which is paid as a percentage of commissions of the real estate agent at the time of closing, as further detailed in the Referral Agreement (our “Fees”). You understand, acknowledge and agree that all leads assigned by us are our property, and that we are only licensing you the leads in exchange for the commission set forth in the Referral Agreement. Quali reserves the right to take back or assign to another agent any lead, at any time, without notice to you. You are responsible for tracking all lead activity and reporting it to Quali through the CRM to which you are given access to on a weekly bases. This is a material term of the Agreement, and failure to track and report lead progress may lead to the taking back of leads and or termination of your access to our Services.

IN THE EVENT THAT YOU HAVE A DISPUTE WITH ONE OR MORE OTHER USERS OF THE SERVICES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN USERS REGARDING ANY TRANSACTION OR USER SUBMISSIONS) OR ANY THIRD-PARTY PROVIDER OR ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICES THAT MAY BE LINKED TO OR FROM OR OTHERWISE INTERACT WITH OUR SERVICES, YOU HEREBY AGREE TO RELEASE, AND FOREVER DISCHARGE QUALI AND ANY AND ALL OF ITS RESPECTIVE AGENTS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND ALL OTHER RELATED PERSONS OR ENTITIES FROM ANY AND ALL MANNER OF RIGHTS, CLAIMS, COMPLAINTS, DEMANDS, CAUSES OF ACTION, PROCEEDINGS, LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LEGAL FEES, COSTS, AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, WHICH NOW OR HEREAFTER ARISE FROM, RELATE TO, OR ARE CONNECTED WITH SUCH DISPUTE AND/OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.

Quali is committed to customer satisfaction, so if you have a problem or dispute, we will try to resolve your concerns. But if we are unsuccessful, you may pursue claims as explained in this section. You agree to give us an opportunity to resolve any disputes or claims relating in any way to the Services, any dealings with our customer experience agents, any services or products provided, or any representations made by us (“Claims”) by contacting us. If we are not able to resolve your Claims within 60 days, you may seek relief through arbitration or in small claims court, as set forth below.
Any and all Claims will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except you may assert Claims on an individual basis in small claims court if they qualify. This includes any Claims you assert against us, our subsidiaries, users or any companies offering products or services through us (which are beneficiaries of this arbitration agreement). This also includes any Claims that arose before you accepted these Terms, regardless of whether prior versions of the Terms required arbitration.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including statutory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs), and must follow and enforce these Terms as a court would.
Arbitrations will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA Arbitration Consumer Rules (together, the “AAA Rules”). Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules, except as provided in this section. If your total Claims seek less than $10,000, we will reimburse you for filing fees you pay to the AAA and will pay arbitrator’s fees. You may choose to have an arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the state where you live or at another mutually-agreed upon location.
By agreeing to arbitration under the AAA Rules, the parties agree, among other things, that the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive power to rule on any objections with respect to the existence, scope, or validity of the arbitration agreement or to the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your Claims to “Quali Arbitration, 1489 Turquoise Drive, Carlsbad, California 92011.” If we request arbitration against you, we will give you notice at the e-mail address or street address you have provided.
The AAA’s rules and filing instructions are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Any and all proceedings to resolve Claims will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a Claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms. An arbitration decision may be confirmed by any court with competent jurisdiction.
Our relationship with you is that of independent contractors, and no agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by the Agreement or your use of our Services.
Except as explicitly stated otherwise, any notices to us shall be given by postal mail to: realquali.com, 1489 Turquoise Drive, Carlsbad, California 92011.
When we need to send you notice, it will be sent to the e-mail address you provide through the Services during the registration process or as later updated in your account (if applicable). Notice shall be deemed given upon receipt or 24 hours after an e-mail is sent, unless the sending party is notified that the e-mail address is invalid. Alternatively, we may give you notice by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, to any physical address provided to us during the registration process or as later updated in your account (if applicable). Notice shall be deemed given three (3) days after the date of mailing to a physical address and one day after mailing to an electronic address.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to amend these Terms, in whole or in part, at any time. Notification of any amendment will be posted by the indication of the last amendment date at the top of these Terms and will be effective immediately. When users renew subscriptions, the terms in effect at the time of renewal will govern, provided that such Terms may change as described above.
These Terms, the Privacy Policy and the Referral Agreement together constitute the entire agreement between us and you with respect to the matters set forth herein and supersede any prior agreement between us and you with respect to your use of the Services.
Headings in these Terms are for reference only and do not limit the scope or extent of such section. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and any other terms and conditions applicable to any of our Services, the Terms herein shall prevail. If any portion of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect. Further, any provision of these Terms held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.
We may assign these Terms in our sole discretion. Users must obtain our prior written consent to assign these Terms, which may be granted or withheld by us in our sole discretion.
