1. Acceptance of these terms
These Terms of Use form a binding agreement between you and the independent publisher of this website (the "Publisher," "we," "us"). By accessing, browsing, or submitting an inquiry through this site, you accept these terms in full. If you do not accept them, you must stop using the site immediately.
These terms incorporate by reference the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Disclaimers and Non-Affiliation Notice, Fair Housing and Real Estate Notice, Accessibility Statement, and Copyright and DMCA Policy published in this Legal Center.
You must be at least eighteen years old and legally capable of entering a contract to use this site.
2. Independence — we are not the HOA
This website is an independent editorial publication. It is not the Morrocroft Estates Homeowners Association, its board of directors, any committee of the association, its management company, its developer, its builder, its gate or security contractor, or any club, school, or governmental body referenced on this site.
We are not authorized to act for, speak for, bind, or accept notice on behalf of any of those entities. Nothing on this site constitutes an official statement, publication, interpretation, or enforcement of any declaration, covenant, condition, restriction, bylaw, rule, architectural guideline, assessment, or governing document.
Names, marks, and place names appear only for identification, description, and editorial commentary. Their use is nominative and does not imply affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, partnership, agency, or joint venture of any kind.
For anything official — dues, covenants, architectural review, gate access, minutes, reserve studies, or estoppel and resale documents — you must contact the association or its management company directly through their own official channels and rely solely on the documents they issue.
3. Informational purpose only — no professional advice
All content is provided for general informational and editorial purposes only. It is not, and must never be treated as, legal, financial, tax, investment, accounting, insurance, appraisal, valuation, brokerage, mortgage, lending, engineering, surveying, construction, inspection, environmental, zoning, land-use, educational-placement, or medical advice.
No attorney-client, fiduciary, agency, brokerage, advisory, or other professional relationship is created by your use of this site, by reading its content, or by submitting an inquiry through it. You should engage your own licensed professionals before making any decision.
4. Accuracy, good-faith effort, and your duty to verify
We compile information in good faith and make commercially reasonable efforts to be accurate, current, and complete. Nevertheless, the information on this site is gathered from third-party and public sources, changes constantly, and may contain errors, omissions, outdated figures, typographical mistakes, or inaccuracies.
We expressly disclaim any duty to update the site, and no statement here should be understood as a representation that the information remains accurate as of the date you read it.
Every figure of any kind published on this site is an approximation for orientation only. This includes but is not limited to:
- Prices, price ranges, price-per-square-foot figures, market statistics, absorption rates, and trend commentary.
- Lot sizes, acreage, square footage, room counts, ceiling heights, and construction dates.
- Association dues, assessments, reserves, insurance figures, and what those amounts cover.
- School assignments, boundaries, admissions calendars, enrollment steps, tuition, and program availability.
- Distances, drive times, map placements, coordinates, and directional descriptions.
- Descriptions of security staffing, gate operations, amenities, services, and community rules.
You are solely responsible for independently verifying any fact you intend to rely on, with the authoritative source — the association and its management company, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools or the individual school, Mecklenburg County records, the City of Charlotte, a licensed real estate broker, a licensed appraiser, a licensed inspector, a surveyor, and your own attorney and accountant, as applicable.
Reliance on any content of this site is undertaken entirely at your own risk.
5. Limited license and permitted use
Subject to your continuous compliance with these terms, we grant you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and view the site and to print or download individual pages for your own non-commercial, personal reference.
No other right or license is granted. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
6. Prohibited conduct
You agree that you will not, and will not permit any other person or system to:
- Republish, redistribute, sell, license, sublicense, syndicate, frame, or commercially exploit any portion of the site without prior written permission.
- Scrape, crawl, harvest, index for resale, or use automated means to extract content, except by well-behaved search-engine crawlers obeying our robots directives.
- Use site content to train, fine-tune, or ground a commercial machine-learning or generative-AI model without prior written permission.
- Misrepresent yourself as, or imply any affiliation with, the Publisher, the homeowners association, any referenced business, school, or governmental body.
- Submit false, misleading, unlawful, defamatory, harassing, obscene, or infringing material through the inquiry form, or submit another person's information without their authorization.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the site, its data stores, or its infrastructure; probe or test its security; introduce malware; or interfere with its normal operation.
- Use the site or its contact channel to distribute unsolicited commercial messages, solicitations, or bulk communications.
- Use the site in violation of any applicable federal, state, or local law, including fair housing, advertising, privacy, and anti-spam laws.
We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, without notice or liability, for any reason, including suspected violation of these terms.
7. Inquiries and submissions
The private inquiry form is the only contact channel offered on this site. Submitting an inquiry does not create any representation, brokerage, agency, employment, or advisory relationship, and does not obligate us to respond, to respond within any timeframe, or to keep the inquiry active.
Do not submit confidential, privileged, sensitive, financial-account, government-identifier, or health information through the form. Communications sent over the internet are not guaranteed to be secure, private, or timely.
By submitting an inquiry you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to read, store, and use its contents for the purpose of responding to and administering your inquiry, and you represent that you have the right to share the information you submit.
8. Third-party links, businesses, and content
The site references and links to independent third parties, including local businesses, schools, maps, and public resources. Those links are provided as an editorial convenience and as references for readers.
We do not control, operate, endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for any third party, their websites, their privacy or security practices, their licensure or insurance status, their pricing, or the quality, timeliness, legality, or outcome of any goods or services they provide.
Any dealing you have with a third party — including any engagement, contract, payment, or dispute — is solely between you and that third party. We are not a party to it and bear no liability arising from it. Verify licensure, insurance, references, and terms before engaging anyone.
Certain referenced businesses may have a commercial, editorial, or family relationship with the Publisher. Where a business is referenced as a resource, treat the reference as a recommendation and not as an impartial certification, and perform your own diligence.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT, TOOLS, ESTIMATES, DATA, AND FUNCTIONALITY ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE SITE OR ITS SERVERS ARE FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN EXCLUSIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
10. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER THE PUBLISHER NOR ITS OWNERS, MEMBERS, OFFICERS, CONTRACTORS, CONTRIBUTORS, OR AFFILIATES WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST OPPORTUNITY, LOST DATA, DIMINUTION IN VALUE, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE OR ANY RELIANCE ON ITS CONTENT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
IN NO EVENT WILL OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SITE EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100.00).
THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY — CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, MISREPRESENTATION, STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE — AND ARE AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN US.
11. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Publisher and its owners, members, officers, contractors, contributors, and affiliates from and against any claim, demand, action, loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to your use of the site, your submissions, your violation of these terms, your violation of any law, or your infringement of any third-party right.
12. Governing law, venue, and time limit
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You and the Publisher consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, for any dispute not otherwise resolved.
Before filing any action, you agree to send a written description of the dispute through the private inquiry form and to negotiate in good faith for at least thirty days.
Any claim relating to the site must be brought within one year after the claim arose, or it is permanently barred, to the extent such a limitation is permitted by law.
You and the Publisher agree that any dispute will be brought only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding.
13. Changes, severability, and entire agreement
We may modify the site or these terms at any time. Material changes take effect when posted with a revised effective date, and your continued use constitutes acceptance. If a provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary and the remainder will stay in effect.
These terms, together with the other documents in this Legal Center, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Publisher regarding the site and supersede all prior understandings. Sections concerning disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law survive termination.
If any provision of this document is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in full force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. These documents may be updated at any time; the effective date above governs, and continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance.
