PulteGroup Terms of Use


Website Terms of Use

Last update:  December 2021

 

Please read these Website Terms of Use carefully (the “Terms”).   These Terms are a binding legal agreement between you and PulteGroup, Inc. (“Pulte,” “us,” “we,” or similar terms).  “You” means you, the individual using this website (including all subordinate web-pages and sections), as well as any other person or entity on whose behalf you are using this website or who may have rights through you.  You agree to these Terms by doing any of the following: (a) using or visiting the website (including mobile websites), applications, or other services on which these Terms appear (collectively, the PulteGroup Property); and/ or (b) clicking an “I Agree” or similar button or link in connection with creating and account or submitting information to or through any website.

 

These Terms may change from time to time. If we make changes, we will let you know by posting the changes on our website. Your continued use of the website after any change constitutes your agreement to the revised Terms.  These Terms and any other legal terms found elsewhere on this website are the entire agreement between you and PulteGroup with respect to your use of our website. These Terms and other legal terms on our site supersede any and all other understandings or agreements, written or oral, specifically regarding your use of our website.  These Terms, however, are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other separate agreement between you and Pulte – for example if you have signed a Purchase Agreement to purchase a home through us.

 

You agree to review these Terms periodically to ensure that you are familiar with the most recent version. Pulte may, in its sole discretion, and at any time, discontinue this PulteGroup Property or any part thereof, with or without notice, or may prevent your use of this PulteGroup Property with or without notice to you. You agree that you do not have any rights in this PulteGroup Property and that PulteGroup will have no liability to you if this PulteGroup Property is discontinued or your ability to access the PulteGroup Property or any content you may have posted on the PulteGroup Property is terminated.
