As a Designated REALTOR® and a member of the Virginia Association of REALTORS®, I , agree that I have read and understood the explanation of the Legal Hotline purpose and operation. I understand that the Legal Hotline is intended to keep the Association abreast of legal developments and concerns involving real estate brokerage and sales.

I understand and agree that the Virginia Association of REALTORS® assumes no actual or implied responsibility for any improper use or misuse of responses to questions through this service. I also understand and agree that I may not convey, represent or imply to others, including, without limitations, clients, customers or other licensees that information obtained through this service is legal advice rendered by or on behalf of the Virginia Association of REALTORS®. I also understand that Legal Hotline attorneys will provide periodic summaries of the Legal Hotline inquiries, without attribution to any caller(s), for educational purposes of the Virginia Association of REALTORS® and that my questions may appear in VAR publications.

I understand that the Legal Hotline provides legal information, not legal representation. VAR's attorneys will not represent any party (neither you, your firm, your clients or customers) in any proceeding or transaction. Your firm's attorney should continue to be an important part of your business, and you should encourage your clients to seek legal counsel as appropriate.

By submitting this statement, I am requesting the assignment of a member identification number that will be used only by me to access the Legal Hotline. I will not allow any other person, whether it be an Association member or a client or customer, to access the Legal Hotline with my member identification number. I agree that I will be responsible for informing the Association of those members in my firm who I have designated to use the Legal Hotline. I understand they will have their own member identification numbers upon signing a memorandum of understanding and agreement with the Association.

I further agree that if I and/or any of those I have designated to use the Legal Hotline cease to be members of the Associations and/or cease to be a member of my firm, I will notify the Association to remove their access to the Legal Hotline.
