relevant information to their clients.

7. AGENT'S DUTIES. Agent agrees to provide Seller the benefit of Agent's knowledge, experience and advice in the marketing and sale of the Property. Seller understands that Agent makes no representation or guarantee as to the sale of the Property, but Agent agrees to use his best efforts in good faith to find a buyer who is ready, willing and able to purchase the property. Seller acknowledges that Agent is required by law to disclose to potential purchasers of the Property all material facts pertaining to the Property about which
the Agent knows or reasonably should know, and that REALTORS® have an ethical responsibility to treat all parties to the transaction honestly. Seller further acknowledges that Agent is being retained solely as a real estate professional, and understands that other
professional service providers are available to render advice or services to Seller, including but not limited to an attorney, insurance agent, tax advisor, surveyor, engineer, environmental consultant, architect, or contractor. Although Agent may provide Seller the names
of providers who claim to perform such services, Seller understands that Agent cannot guarantee the quality of service or level of expertise of any such provider. Seller agrees to pay the full amount due for all services directly to the service provider whether or not the
transaction closes. Seller also agrees to indemnify and hold Agent harmless from and against any and all liability, claim, loss, damage, suit, or expense that Agent may incur either as a result of Seller's selection and use of any such provider or Seller's election not to have
one or more of such services performed.

Seller authorizes Agent, upon execution of a sales contract for the Property, to notify the listing service of the pending sale, and upon closing of the sale, to disseminate sales information, including sales price, to the listing service, appraisers and real estate brokers.

NOTE: Once information about the Property has been placed on the Internet or furnished to any listing service in which any of Agent's sales associates participates, Agent cannot control access to or uses of the information.
