Privacy Policy
Advertiser Terms of Use Parcelion offers services to you, the "Real Estate Professional", conditioned on your agreement to adhere to the following Terms of Use without modification of any kind. Your registration with Parcelion and/or use of Parcelion's services constitutes your agreement to these Terms of Use. These Terms of Use are subject to change at any time, without prior notice.

Fees and Registration Requirements for Real Estate Professionals
Parcelion offers services targeted to Real Estate Professionals. To receive these services, Real Estate Professionals must accurately complete a registration for a desired service and agree to payment obligations for such service.
Payment of Charges
A. On Time Payment
A Real Estate Professional is expected to pay all Charges on time and may be required to submit an accompanying payment and/or payment authorization in connection with Charges. Credit card transactions require an acceptable and currently working credit card number. In certain cases, a non-refundable setup fee may be charged before the account will be enabled. Parcelion may terminate or disable Real Estate Professional's account if Real Estate Professional fails to pay any amount due to Parcelion when due. If the credit card expires or otherwise declines payment, access to Parcelion can be modified or suspended. If payment is more than thirty (30) calendar days past due, interest will be charged on the unpaid balance at the lower of (a) an additional 15% of the balance, or 1.5% per month whichever is larger, or (b) the maximum allowable by law. The entire amount of unpaid Charges or other outstanding balance (if any), plus this assessment, will become immediately due and payable. The Real Estate Professional shall pay all costs of collection, including legal fees, incurred by Parcelion. Each time Parcelion services are used, the Real Estate Professional affirms that Parcelion is authorized to obtain payment from Real Estate Professional through the selected payment method. All fees are quoted and payable in United States dollars. The Real Estate Professional is also responsible for paying all applicable taxes for information, contents, goods, products or services and any other costs incurred in connection with the use of or access to Parcelion including Charges incurred on your account by the Real Estate Professional, or anyone the Real Estate Professional allows to use the Real Estate Professional's account.
B. Payment Methods
Real Estate Professional’s complete billing address and telephone number must be provided to process payments. Parcelion accepts major credit cards including Visa and MasterCard and for some Charges may accept bank drafts including personal checks, money orders, cashiers checks, and company checks. However, for non-credit card payment methods Parcelion may not credit the applicable Membership account until additional procedures are completed and after the bank certifies receipt of funds - typically ten (10) business days. Parcelion may charge a twenty-five dollar ($25.00) handling fee, or the maximum allowable by law, whichever is less, for each check returned unpaid for insufficient funds or any other reason.
C. Account Discrepancies
A Real Estate Professional may always contact Parcelion customer relations by e-mail or telephone concerning Charges or other questions regarding the status of a Membership account. If Real Estate Professional disputes any charges made or believes that there is a discrepancy with respect to traffic delivered by Parcelion, Real Estate Professional must notify Parcelion in writing within 30 days from the date of the charge; failure to so notify Parcelion shall result in the waiver by Real Estate Professional of any claim relating to any such disputed charge or discrepancy.
