An Assured shall notify the Company promptly in writing in case knowledge shall come to an Assured
hereunder of any claim of title or interest which is adverse to the title to the estate or interest, as stated
herein, and which might cause loss or damage for which the Company may be liable by virtue of this
Guarantee. If prompt notice shall not be given to the Company, then all liability of the Company shall
terminate with regard to the matter or matters for which prompt notice is required; provided, however, that
failure to notify the Company shall in no case prejudice the rights of any Assured under this Guarantee
unless the Company shall be prejudiced by the failure and then only to the extent of the prejudice.
3.No Duty to Defend or Prosecute.
The Company shall have no duty to defend or prosecute any action or proceeding to which the Assured is
a party, notwithstanding the nature of any allegation in such action or proceeding.
4.Company's Option to Defend or Prosecute Actions; Duty of Assured Claimant to Cooperate.
Even though the Company has no duty to defend or prosecute as set forth in Paragraph 3 above:
(a)The Company shall have the right, at its sole option and cost, to institute and prosecute any action or
proceeding, interpose a defense, as limited in (b), or to do any other act which in its opinion may be
necessary or desirable to establish the title to the estate or interest as stated herein, or to establish the
lien rights of the Assured, or to prevent or reduce loss or damage to the Assured. The Company may
take any appropriate action under the terms of this Guarantee, whether or not it shall be liable
hereunder, and shall not thereby concede liability or waive any provision of this Guarantee. If the
Company shall exercise its rights under this paragraph, it shall do so diligently.
(b)If the Company elects to exercise its options as stated in Paragraph 4(a) the Company shall have the
right to select counsel of its choice (subject to the right of such Assured to object for reasonable cause)
to represent the Assured and shall not be liable for and will not pay the fees of any other counsel, nor

the defense of any action or proceeding, and all appeals therein, and permit the Company to use, at its

of the Assured to furnish the required cooperation, the Company's obligations to the Assured under the
Guarantee shall terminate.

damage. The proof of loss or damage shall describe the matters covered by this Guarantee which
constitute the basis of loss or damage and shall state, to the extent possible, the basis of calculating the
amount of the loss or damage. If the Company is prejudiced by the failure of the Assured to provide the
required proof of loss or damage, the Company's obligation to such assured under the Guarantee shall
terminate. In addition, the Assured may reasonably be required to submit to examination under oath by
any authorized representative of the Company and shall produce for examination, inspection and copying,
at such reasonable times and places as may be designated by any authorized representative of the
Company, all records, books, ledgers, checks, correspondence and memoranda, whether bearing a date

authorized representative of the Company to examine, inspect and copy all records, books, ledgers,
checks, correspondence and memoranda in the custody or control of a third party, which reasonably
pertain to the loss or damage. All information designated as confidential by the Assured provided to the
Company pursuant to this Section shall not be disclosed to others unless, in the reasonable judgment of
the Company, it is necessary in the administration of the claim. Failure of the Assured to submit for
examination under oath, produce other reasonably requested information or grant permission to secure
reasonably necessary information from third parties as required in the above paragraph, unless prohibited
by law or governmental regulation, shall terminate any liability of the Company under this Guarantee to the
Assured for that claim.

(a)To Pay or Tender Payment of the Amount of Liability or to Purchase the Indebtedness.

any claim which could result in loss to the Assured within the coverage of this Guarantee, or to pay the

a lienholder, the Company shall have the option to purchase the indebtedness secured by said
mortgage or said lien for the amount owing thereon, together with any costs, reasonable attorneys' fees
and expenses incurred by the Assured claimant which were authorized by the Company up to the time
of purchase.
Such purchase, payment or tender of payment of the full amount of the Guarantee shall terminate all
liability of the Company hereunder. In the event after notice of claim has been given to the Company
by the Assured the Company offers to purchase said indebtedness, the owner of such indebtedness
shall transfer and assign said indebtedness, together with any collateral security, to the Company upon
payment of the purchase price.
Upon the exercise by the Company of the option provided for in Paragraph (a) the Company's obligation to

person or property necessary in order to perfect this right of subrogation. The Assured shall permit the
Company to sue, compromise or settle in the name of the Assured and to use the name of the Assured in

WFG Privacy Policy
Williston Financial Group Privacy Notice
Williston Financial Group LLC, WFG National Title Insurance Company, and each of the affiliates listed below
(collectively “WFG” or the “WFG Family”) believe it is important to protect your privacy and confidences. We
recognize and respect the privacy expectations of our customers. We believe that making you aware of how we
collect information about you, how we use that information, and with whom we share that information will form the
basis for a relationship of trust between us. This Privacy Notice provides that explanation. We reserve the right to
change this Privacy Notice from time to time.
WFG’s primary business is providing appraisal, title insurance, and escrow services for the sale or refinance of real
property. This can be a complicated process involving multiple parties, many of whom have been selected by our
customers, each filling a specialized role. In part, you have hired WFG to coordinate and smooth the passage of the
information necessary for an efficient settlement or closing.
In the course of this process, WFG collects a significant amount of personal and identifying information about the
parties to a transaction, including sensitive items that include but are not limited to: your contact information,
including email addresses, Social Security numbers, driver’s license, and other identification numbers and
information; financial, bank and insurance information; information about past and proposed mortgages and loans;
information about properties you currently or previously owned; your mortgage application package; and the cookie,
IP address, and other information captured automatically by computer systems.
Much of this information is gathered from searches of public land, tax, court and credit records to make certain that
any liens, challenges or title defects are addressed properly. Some of the information that is collected is provided
by you or the computer systems you use. We also may receive information from real estate brokers and agents,
mortgage brokers and lenders, and others working to facilitate your transaction, as well as information from public,
private or governmental databases including credit bureaus, ‘no-fly’ lists, and terrorist ‘watch lists’.
What Information is Shared?
WFG DOES NOT SELL any of your information to non-affiliated companies for marketing or any other
purpose.
However, some of the same information does get shared with persons inside and outside the WFG Family in order
to facilitate and complete your transaction.

Surveys, appraisals, and inspections may be ordered.
Within the WFG Family of companies, we may divide up the work to handle each closing in the most
efficient manner possible and to meet specific legal and licensing requirements. Certain parts of your
closing (for example a search or disbursement) may be handled by another division or company within the
WFG Family.

When it is time for signatures, your complete closing package may be sent to a notary, remote online
notary, or notary service company who will arrange to meet with you to sign documents. The notary will, in
turn, send signed copies back to us along with copies of your driver’s license or other identity documents,
usually by mail, UPS, Federal Express or another courier service.
Your deed, mortgage and other documents required to perfect title will be recorded with the local recorder
of deeds.
In some cases, we use an outside service to coordinate the recording or electronic-recording of those
instruments, and they will receive copies of your deeds, mortgages and other recordable documents to
process, scan and send on to the recording office.
Information within your title policy may be shared with WFG National Title Insurance Company title policy
issuing agents to facilitate future financial transactions involving your property.
Various government agencies get involved. The law requires us to provide certain information to the IRS,
the U.S. Department of the Treasury, local and state tax authorities, and other regulatory and governmental
