Effective date: [Month DD, YYYY]
These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website, client portal, and services (collectively, the “Services”) provided by Amethyst Surplus Recovery, a service of Beck Business Solutions, LLC (“Amethyst,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
Amethyst helps former property owners and their heirs identify and recover surplus or overage funds resulting from tax and foreclosure sales. When you engage us, we research potential funds, prepare and submit claims to the appropriate county, court, or agency, and assist you through the recovery process.
Amethyst is not a law firm, and we do not provide legal, tax, or financial advice. Nothing on our website, in our portal, or in our communications constitutes legal advice or creates an attorney-client relationship. If you need legal advice, you should consult a licensed attorney.
You have the right to pursue any claim for surplus funds yourself, directly with the applicable county, court, or agency, at little or no cost and without a representative. You are not required to use our Services to recover funds that may be owed to you.
We do not guarantee that any funds exist, that a claim will be approved, or that any particular amount will be recovered or within any particular timeframe. Outcomes depend on facts, documentation, applicable law, and the decisions of third parties such as courts and agencies.
You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Services. By using the Services, you represent that you meet these requirements and that the information you provide is accurate and complete.
The specific terms of any engagement — including the services we will perform, our fee, and any authorization you grant us — are set out in a separate written recovery agreement that you sign. In general:
If there is any conflict between these Terms and your signed recovery agreement regarding the scope of services or fees, the signed recovery agreement controls.
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information; to cooperate and respond promptly to reasonable requests; to provide documents needed to establish your identity and entitlement; and not to use the Services for any unlawful or fraudulent purpose. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information and documents you submit.
To pursue a claim on your behalf, you may authorize us to act as your representative and to communicate with counties, courts, and agencies regarding your claim. The scope of any such authorization is described in your signed recovery agreement, and you may revoke it as provided in that agreement and by applicable law.
Access to the client portal requires an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials, for enabling and using available security features such as multi-factor authentication, and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.
By providing your email address or phone number and opting in, you consent to receive account- and claim-related communications from us by email and, where you opt in, by text message, including verification and password-reset codes. Message and data rates may apply to text messages; reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help. See our Privacy Policy for details.
You agree not to misuse the Services, including by attempting to gain unauthorized access, interfering with the operation of the Services, submitting false or fraudulent information, or using the Services in violation of any applicable law.
The Services, including our name, logo, text, graphics, and software, are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Services for their intended purpose. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works without our permission.
The Services rely on third-party providers (for example, hosting, document storage, email, and text-message delivery). We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of third parties or for information you submit directly to counties, courts, or agencies.
The Services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Amethyst and its owners, members, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits or funds, arising out of or relating to the Services. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to the Services will not exceed the amount of fees you paid us for the specific claim giving rise to the liability.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Amethyst and its owners, members, employees, and agents from any claims, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your use of the Services, your violation of these Terms, or your submission of inaccurate or fraudulent information.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [State], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in [County/State], and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts, except where applicable law provides otherwise.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective date” above. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver. These Terms, together with your signed recovery agreement and our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services.
