Thank you for using NeedQuotes.com. Access to and use of the NeedQuotes.com site is
provided subject to the following terms and conditions. Please read these terms and
conditions carefully, as your use of the site and NeedQuotes.com's services constitutes
acceptance of these terms and conditions. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions,
do not use the site or services. NeedQuotes.com may, in its sole discretion, modify or

any such modification or revision and should therefore visit this page periodically to
review the terms.1. SERVICES
NeedQuotes.com provides a service that allows users to request quotes from multiple
vendors for free. It should be noted, however, that we may not always be able to match
your request with appropriate vendors. Moreover, we cannot guarantee the quality of the
vendors who receive and respond to your request. NeedQuotes.com is simply a way for
matching buyers with vendors, and we cannot be responsible for any transaction that may
occur between your company and a NeedQuotes.com vendor. NeedQuotes.com does not guarantee
the quality, safety or legality of the information provided or the products and services
sold. You should exercise as much caution as you would typically exercise with any
purchase of products of services.
2. DISPUTES
Should you have a dispute with any vendor, you must address such dispute to the vendor
directly, and you hereby agree to release NeedQuotes.com (and our employees and agents)
from any damages or claims (including consequential and incidental damages) of every kind
or nature, suspected and unsuspected, known and unknown, and disclosed or undisclosed,
arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes and your dealings with vendors.
3. YOUR USE OF NEEDQUOTES.COM SERVICES
NeedQuotes.com enables you to initiate transactions for the purchase of products or
services. However, NeedQuotes.com does not actually sell such products or services, nor is
it a party to any transactions involving such products or services. Rather, NeedQuotes.com
merely matches requests for information from users to participating vendors.
You agree that by completing a quote request, you are entering into a business
relationship with NeedQuotes.com and its vendors and thus agree to be contacted by
NeedQuotes.com and its vendors. You acknowledge that these vendors can contact you
regarding your request and that you are expressly consenting to such contact by them or
NeedQuotes.com as necessary to fulfill such request. By submitting a quote request, you
expressly consent to being contacted by us and by our vendors via phone, fax, email, mail
or other reasonable means, at any of your contact numbers or addresses. These contacts are
necessary so that that we may provide the services set forth on our site, to service your
account, to reasonably address matters pertaining to your account or for other reasonable
purposes related to our business.
It is agreed that your use of NeedQuotes.com services is for purchasing purposes and
not for any other purpose including advertising or competitive intelligence. You

obligation) in our sole discretion to deny any request that is in violation of these terms
and conditions.

reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately terminate your access without
