Subject to the terms of this EULA and depending on location, First American will monitor real estate public records for the county/parish where the land purchased through use of the Site is located to detect conveyances and voluntary liens (limited to mortgages, deeds of trusts, trust deeds, security deeds and other instruments securing a loan) recorded against said land. No other document types will be monitored. Within 14 days of detecting a conveyance or voluntary lien, First American will provide a notification to Licensee, termed an "Alert," that a document has been recorded. This notification will be sent to the email address Licensee provided in the Site. A copy of the document may not be provided, and if not provided Licensee must obtain said document through other means. It is Licensee's responsibility to ensure that the email address listed in the Site for notification of Alerts is correct, up to date, and valid. First American is not liable for Alerts that are not delivered to Licensee because of an incorrect or invalid email address or because they are rejected by an email provider or labelled as spam. The foregoing activities are collectively referred to as "Monitoring."For property purchased through use of the Site, Monitoring will begin on the effective date of the owner's title insurance policy issued after closing. Monitoring may be provided for other property owned by the Licensee. Monitoring is available only for properties currently insured by an owner's title insurance policy, whether underwritten by First American or another insurer, and only if a copy of that policy, consisting of Schedule A and Schedule B, is uploaded to the Site. By uploading or submitting a title policy, Licensee grants First American a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, and irrevocable right and license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, and distribute Licensee's policy, in whole or in part, for any purpose whatsoever in First American's sole discretion.
Monitoring is not available for all counties/parishes. If you have questions about whether Monitoring is available for your property, please contact First American through the Site. Licensee agrees First American is not responsible for documents that are mis-indexed in the land records or are otherwise not reasonably discoverable in the title search monitoring process. The time between when a document is recorded in the real estate public records and when First American detects said document varies based on location. First American does not agree to provide Alerts within a certain time after recording.
Monitoring does not include protection for loss due to documents being recorded against Licensee's property, including without limitation forged documents. You may have insurance coverage for loss arising from a document recorded against your property under your title insurance policy. Some policies do not provide coverage for loss due to forged documents that are recorded after the effective date of the policy. First American will not review or advise on any documents and after providing an Alert, the Monitoring service is complete and First American is not responsible for any remedial or other action related to said documents unless First American is the Licensee's title insurer, and a claim is made under Licensee's title insurance policy.
