Terms of Service

Last Updated: November 13, 2026

Welcome to the Terms of Service (these “Terms”) for the website, www.stablehomefund.org, operated on behalf of Stable Home Fund (“Company”, “we” or “us”).  The website, www.stablehomefund.org, and any content, tools, features and functionality offered on or through such website are collectively referred to as the “Website”.

Please read these Terms carefully, as they include important information about your legal rights. By accessing and/or using the Website, you are agreeing to these Terms. If you do not understand or agree to these Terms, please do not use the Website.

For purposes of these Terms, “you” and “your” means you as the user of the Website. If you use the Website on behalf of a company or other entity then “you” includes you and that entity, and you represent and warrant that (a) you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind the entity to these Terms, and (b) you agree to these Terms on the entity’s behalf.

1.    GENERAL
The Website provides certain information and other materials related to the Company and its programs. Through the Website, you may, among other things, apply to participate in the Company’s programs (“Programs”), such as its rent relief fund program. The Company may provide loans, including micro-loans, through certain Programs. All loans are subject to the Company’s underwriting and approval and are governed by the applicable loan agreements. Your application to any Program, as well as any loan, financing or other benefit you receive when accepted to a Program, is governed by separate terms and conditions. 

1.1    When you apply to a Program, you agree to provide accurate, current and complete information, and to update that information as needed. We rely on the accuracy of the information you provide, and we may share it with our service providers and partners to verify your identity and determine your eligibility for a Program. We may deny or suspend your application, or your participation in a Program, if any information you provide is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date.

1.2    No Guarantee of Approval or Outcome. Information on the Website about the Programs is for general informational purposes only and is not an offer or commitment to extend credit. Submitting an application does not guarantee that you will be approved for a Program or a loan, that any loan will be funded by a particular date, or that any eviction, late fee, legal proceeding or other action by your landlord will be prevented, delayed or resolved. The Company is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice regarding your lease or any eviction proceeding. If you have received an eviction notice, you should consult a qualified attorney or local legal aid organization. Program availability, terms and eligibility requirements may vary by location and may change or end at any time.

1.3    Property Owners, Property Managers and Program Partners. Certain Programs are available only through participating property owners or property managers, and certain Programs are designed, funded or administered by the Company on behalf of local funders, government agencies or other partners (“Program Partners”). The Company is not a party to your lease and is not responsible for the acts or omissions of any property owner, property manager or Program Partner, including whether a property owner or property manager participates in a Program, reports rent payments, or accepts any payment made through a Program. Programs administered on behalf of a Program Partner may be subject to additional eligibility requirements and terms set by that Program Partner.

1.4    Donations. The Website may allow you to make donations to the Company. All donations are voluntary, final and non-refundable, except as required by applicable law or as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. Donations may be processed by third-party payment processors, and your use of such services is subject to their terms and privacy policies. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Company may use donations for any of its purposes and in its sole discretion, and donations do not give you any right to direct the use of funds or to receive any benefit from a Program. The Company is a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and donations may be tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. The Company does not provide tax advice, and you should consult your own tax advisor regarding the deductibility of any donation.

(b)    THE LAWS OF CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS, INCLUDING THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY, DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES AS SET FORTH BELOW. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, OR LIMITATIONS HEREIN MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.

8.    ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
8.1    Updating These Terms. We may modify these Terms from time to time in which case we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Terms.  If we make changes that are material, we will use reasonable efforts to attempt to notify you, such as by e-mail and/or by placing a prominent notice on the first page of the Website. However, it is your sole responsibility to review these Terms from time to time to view any such changes.  The updated Terms will be effective as of the time of posting, or such later date as may be specified in the updated Terms. Your continued access or use of the Website after the modifications have become effective will be deemed your acceptance of the modified Terms. 

8.2    Electronic Communications and Signatures. You consent to receive notices and other communications from us electronically, including by e-mail or through the Website, and agree that such communications satisfy any legal requirement that they be in writing. You also consent to the use of electronic signatures in connection with any Program application or loan documentation, and agree that your electronic signature has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature.

8.3    Calls and Text Messages. By providing a telephone number to us, you consent to receive calls and text messages from us and our service providers at that number regarding your Program application, any loan and related account servicing, including messages sent using automated technology. Message and data rates may apply. Consent is not a condition of receiving a loan or participating in a Program. You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP.

8.4    Termination of License. If you breach any of the provisions of these Terms, all licenses granted by the Company will terminate automatically. All sections which by their nature should survive the termination of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding any termination of these Terms by the Company or you. Termination will not limit any of the Company’s other rights or remedies at law or in equity. 

8.5    Injunctive Relief. You agree that a breach of these Terms will cause irreparable injury to the Company for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law without a bond, other security or proof of damages.

8.6    California Residents. If you are a California resident, in accordance with Cal. Civ. Code § 1789.3, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.

8.7    Miscellaneous. If any provision of these Terms shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. These Terms and the licenses granted hereunder may be assigned by the Company but may not be assigned by you without the prior express written consent of the Company. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. The section headings used herein are for reference only and shall not be read to have any legal effect. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of laws rules, and the proper venue for any disputes arising out of or relating to any of the same will be the state and federal courts located in Delaware.
