In the event of my election, I agree to abide by the Code of Ethics of the National Association of REALTORS®, and the constitution, bylaws, rules and regulations of the Orlando Regional REALTOR® Association, the Florida REALTORS®, and National Association of REALTORS®.
I agree to arbitrate when required by the Code of Ethics and to abide by the decision of the professional standards committee of the Association, or the decision of the appeals board in the event of an appeal. I irrevocably waive all claims against the Association, or any of its officers, directors, members, or employees, for any act in connection with the business of the Association, and particularly as to its or their acts in electing or failing to elect, advance, suspend, expel, or otherwise discipline me as an applicant member. I acknowledge that if accepted as a member, and I subsequently resign from the Association or otherwise cause membership to terminate with an ethics complaint pending, that the board of directors may condition renewal of membership upon my certification that I will submit to the pending ethics proceeding and will abide by the decision of the hearing panel. If I resign or otherwise cause membership to terminate, the duty to submit to arbitration continues in effect even after membership lapses or is terminated, provided the dispute arose while I was a REALTOR®.
I understand that I must: a) complete an Orientation course; b) complete the Code of Ethics course; and c) pay all required dues and fees at the time of application submission as a condition of maintaining my membership.
I understand that if I fail to complete Orientation and the Code of Ethics course within two scheduled orientation classes and/or I fail to pay the required total fees and dues, this application may be automatically deemed abandoned by the Association. Should it be abandoned, or should I voluntarily withdraw my application prior to completing the requirements, I understand that the application fee and dues will be forfeited, and that I must reapply should I seek membership in the future.
I hereby grant permission to ORRA, its employees, and/or representatives, to take and use photographs/digital images of me for use in promotional and/or educational materials, including printed or electronic publications, websites, or other electronic communications. I further agree that my name and identity may be revealed in descriptive text or commentary in connection with the image(s). I authorize the use of these materials indefinitely without compensation to me. All negatives, prints, and/or digital reproductions shall be the property of ORRA. I hereby release, discharge, and agree to save harmless ORRA from any liability that may occur or be produced in the taking of said picture or in any subsequent processing thereof, as well as any publication thereof, including without limitation any claims for libel or invasion of privacy.
