ARBITRATION AGREEMENT and ADHERENCE TO POLICIES: As a condition of Membership in the Northshore Area Board of REALTORS®:
A. I hereby agree for myself and the firm for which I act, to binding arbitration of disputes as defined in and provided for in the Code of Ethics and Arbitration Manual of the National Association of REALTORS® and/or the Louisiana REALTORS® Association, in accordance with the rules and regulations, or any client covered by the Association rules and regulations. I understand the Greater Baton Rouge Association of Realtors hears grievance and professional standards cases for the Northshore Area Board of Realtors. Agents may be responsible for filing and/or additional fees.
B. Refund Policy: I understand that my annual dues, other registrations and all event tickets/fees, etc. are nonrefundable. Any NSF checks returned or credit card charges declined will be assessed a $25 fee and/or any additional bank charges, per attempt to collect. It is the agent’s responsibility to pay any and all other additional processing fees that may need to be assessed when handling problem situations.
C. Authorization to release and use information and waiver: I am familiar with the Qualification and Election Provisions and the Bylaws of NABOR. I allow verifying information in this application, including contacting any Board/Association, the Louisiana Real Estate Commission, and any current or past broker or business associates. I further authorize any Board/Association in which I have been a member/subscriber to release all membership and disciplinary records to the Northshore Area Board of REALTORS®. I further authorize NABOR to use this information in determining future disciplinary sanctions. I waive any cause of action including, but not limited to, slander, libel or defamation of character, resulting from such verification, evaluation or other processing of this application or use of the information gathered by NABOR and its agents.
D. I agree that should I cease to be a REALTOR®, I will discontinue use of the term REALTOR® in all certificates, signs, seals or any other medium and I will notify NABOR in writing of my decision to terminate my membership.
E. I understand that Orientation and Code of Ethics training, either done as live presentation or online format, is a requirement for membership that must be completed before an agent is considered in good standing.
F. I agree to settle all financial obligations in full that may be assessed involving my membership status. Failure to do so will result in your association membership considered not in good standing. MLS service may be denied and/or interrupted for all members not currently in good standing. G. By becoming and remaining a member, I agree to become familiar with and abide by the Bylaws, Code of Ethics and Arbitration Manual and any other rule as from time to time amended of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®, The Louisiana REALTORS® Association and the Northshore Area Board of REATLORS®
