The Title Source® family of companies (collectively "Company") are dedicated to revolutionizing the Title Insurance and Settlement Services Industry. A big part of that "revolution" is based upon prompt and convenient communication with our clients, vendors and others. For that reason, we offer various means of communication including e-mail, fax, telephone, chat, snail-mail, express mail, voice mail, etc. To demonstrate our commitment to prompt and convenient communications, we have adopted the following terms and conditions, regarding e-mail, which are incorporated by reference into all e-mails sent and received by our Team Members (i.e., our employees). Our communications with you via e-mail are conditioned upon your agreement to the following terms.
Email in General
E-mail is an effective means of communicating a message. However, due to its brief and informal nature, e-mail may not accurately represent the entire or final disposition of a matter or the official business records of the Company. In most instances, communications on a particular matter are exchanged through multiple channels such as through e-mails, faxes, voicemails, letters, IM, telephone, and in person. Indeed, communications on a particular matter may be exchanged through multiple channels, all at the same time, such as when an e-mail responds to a voicemail, a fax follows-up a personal meeting, a voicemail responds to an e-mail, etc. Accordingly, e-mail, by itself, may not accurately reflect the complete communication or intent of the Company as to the subject matter referred to within the communication, nor constitute an official business record of the Company. All official matters should be subsequently confirmed in signed writings. Also, the mere receipt of an e-mail by the Company may not put the Company on notice, timely or otherwise, of the matters contained within that e-mail.
