4. Equal Housing Opportunity.
All real estate information provided herein is subject to the Federal Fair Housing Act, which makes it illegal to advertise “any preference, limitation, or discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin, or intention to make any such preference, limitation or discrimination.” Your state or local jurisdiction may impose additional requirements. CPH is pledged to the letter and spirit of the United States policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity. CPH encourages and supports an affirmative advertising and marketing program in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, gender, handicap, familial status, or national origin. All dwellings within the United States advertised by CPH and its affiliated entities are available on an equal opportunity basis.
5. Specifications and Virtual Models
Despite CPH's efforts to provide accurate information, it is not possible to completely ensure that the ever-changing information affecting its properties is up-to-date. The information contained on this Website may contain inadvertent errors or oversights. All information should be verified at the particular CPH community from which information is desired and should be confirmed at such time that You may wish to enter into a sales contract for the purchase of a home from CPH.
All virtual models are displayed for illustrative purposes only, and the homes and property actually available to You may differ. Nothing in any virtual display is intended as an agreement, representation, or commitment by CPH to deliver the home or property exactly as depicted in any such display. The virtual display is a computer rendition of the homes and the size, shape, building materials, colors and other features of the homes may differ from the actual as-built condition of the property. Square footage numbers are approximate and may vary depending on the standard measurement used. In addition, square footage and design may change from the original conceptual design throughout the actual construction process. CPH reserves the right to make any changes and substitutions to the models, plans, specifications, amenities, features, designs, dimensions, materials, fixtures and other elements of the homes and property and any residential development project of which they are a part. Prices and availability are subject to change without notice.
Any facilities labeled "proposed" or "future development" are in formative stages and there is no guarantee that they will be completed or developed in accordance with any plans or specifications, if at all. CPH cannot guarantee the continuation of any contiguous or nearby amenities in the area surrounding its communities.
References to home prices that may appear in the Web pages refer to the base house and do not include any optional features. Prices and terms are subject to change, prior sale, selected lot premiums and or predetermined options at any time and without notice. Photos or drawings of homes may show upgraded landscaping and may not represent the lowest-priced homes in the community. Floor plans will vary from the actual plans and homes built. CPH expressly reserves the right to make changes to its home designs, prices, available options and other features, and to build more or fewer homes than currently planned.
You should therefore consult a Design Counselor and refer to the plans and specifications available at the sales center for the individual CPH community to satisfy yourself on details on any particular lot and any particular home design.
6. Home Financing
Financing programs described in these materials are available only through certain vendors specified by CPH, which may be affiliated with CPH. Home buyers are not required to obtain financing from these sources and may obtain financing from any lending institution. Any applications or other information submission pages contained in this Website are neither a full mortgage application nor a promise to provide a loan. For further information, please contact a CPH Design Counselor for information on the CPH community.

18. Binding Arbitration
18.1. Arbitration Procedures. You and CPH agree that, except as provided in Section 18.4 below, all disputes, controversies and claims related to this Agreement (each a “Claim”), will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration, which may be initiated by either party by sending a written notice requesting arbitration to the other party. Any election to arbitrate by one party will be final and binding on the other. The arbitration will be conducted under the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (the “JAMS Rules”) and under the terms set forth in this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms set forth in this Binding Arbitration Section and the JAMS Rules, the terms in this Binding Arbitration Section will control and prevail.
18.2. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 18.4 below, You may seek any non-injunctive remedies available to You under state or local laws in an arbitration action. As part of the arbitration, both You and we will have the opportunity for discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim. The arbitrator will provide a written statement of the arbitrator’s decision regarding the Claim, the award given and the arbitrator’s findings and conclusions on which the arbitrator’s decision is based. The determination of whether a Claim is subject to arbitration will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, (i) You and CPH may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator; and (ii) the arbitrator’s decision will be final, binding on all parties and enforceable in any court that has jurisdiction, provided that any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to follow applicable law.
BY AGREEING TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND CPH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
18.3. Location. The arbitration will be conducted in Orange County, California, unless the parties agree to video, phone and/or internet connection appearances.
18.4. Limitations. You and CPH agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Claim between CPH and You individually. YOU AND CPH AGREE THAT (A) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS-ACTION BASIS OR TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES; (B) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL; AND (C) NO ARBITRATION WILL BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION.
18.5. Exceptions to Arbitration. You and CPH agree that the following Claims are not subject to the above provisions concerning negotiations and binding arbitration: (i) any Claim seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of Your or CPH’s intellectual property rights; (ii) any Claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (iii) any claim for equitable relief. In addition to the foregoing, either party may assert an individual action in small claims court for Claims that are within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration with the other party’s consent.
18.6. Arbitration Fees. The party seeking the Claim is responsible for the initial fees to JAMS. All other fees and costs of the arbitration will be charged pursuant to the JAMS Rules.
18.7. Severability. You and CPH agree that if any portion this Section is found illegal or unenforceable, except any portion of Section 18.4, that portion will be severed and the remainder of the Section will be given full force and effect. If Section 18.4 is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither You nor CPH will elect to arbitrate any Claim falling within that portion of this Section found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Claim will be exclusively decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the Orange County, CA and You and CPH agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
19. Severability
If any term of this Agreement is declared unlawful, void or unenforceable by any court in any jurisdiction, then such term will be deemed severable from the remaining terms in such jurisdiction and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms.
20. English Language
Various portions of the Website may include non-English language, including but not limited to Spanish, Vietnamese or Chinese, and are provided for Your convenience. CPH makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the translation provided and undertake no further obligation to interact with You in that language. CPH conducts its business in American English and You should anticipate any further contact with CPH or CPH New Home Advisors will be in English. If you elect to purchase a home from CPH, the home purchase agreement and any supplemental information and correspondence from CPH, including homeowner warranties and maintenance manuals, will be written in English, and all CPH personnel, including its Design Counselors and service warranty personnel, speak English.
21. Entire Agreement
These Terms and any policies posted on this Website constitute the entire contract between You and CPH and supersede all previous written or oral contracts regarding this Website and its usage.
