Dear Prospective Search Vendor :
We appreciate your interest in becoming a member of TitleSearch247, LLC.
Searching Team. TitleSearch247 is a nationwide Vendor Management Company
dedicated to being superior in Service and Pricing, one search at a time. As a
professional searcher, we know that you have built a career of being detail

company.
Expanding on the success of Notarize247, we are using the same service-oriented
business model to create national network of title searchers and abstractors to meet

available.
As an approved Search Vendor, you commit to the highest level of communication

Terms and Conditions of Service
In consideration of payment by TitleSearch247, LLC. (“TitleSearch247”) for services rendered by
(“Search Vendor”), Vendor agrees to the following terms and conditions for the service it provides.
1. Services. TitleSearch247will provide requests for abstracts of title, judgment searches, document

fulfill these requests, for which SEARCH VENDOR will be paid on a “per complete order” basis.
SEARCH VENDOR’s fee schedule is completed within, or attached to, this vendor packet. Fees
in excess of this fee schedule will not be paid unless escalated fee approval is sought by TITLE
ABSTRACTOR and granted by TitleSearch247, PRIOR to the completion of the order , on a
per-order basis.
2. Procedure. TitleSearch247 will assign orders by phone call, text message & email, in that
order. In order for TitleSearch247to meet the turn times and service requirements of our

email will state the requirements and conditions of the order in addition to the agreed

be considered complete. SEARCH VENDOR will confirm receipt of each order via

Arrival (ETA) for each order currently in progress. Failure to provide an ETA or overall

their stated ETA. If an order cannot be delivered on or before stated ETA, SEARCH
VENDOR will provide TitleSearch247with notice of delay, and provide a revised ETA
for that order. Late orders are subject to cancellation by our clients; therefore orders
delivered late, without sufficient communication and a revised ETA may be subject to a
reduced fee, at the discretion of TitleSearch247.

contain an error or omission, a Request to Correct will be issued immediately and the SEARCH
VENDOR will be contacted by phone and email. Requests to Correct will be addressed by
SEARCH VENDOR in a timely manner. A file with an outstanding Request to Correct is
