17. NATURE OF AND DISCLAIMERS OF SERVICES

Esteem is not licensed, or acting or intending to act, as an insurance agency, agent, broker or producer, investment advisor, life or viatical settlement provider, life or viatical settlement broker or life or viatical settlement representative.  Esteem is not an agent, broker, fiduciary or representative of any holder of or insured under a life insurance policy or any person that uses Esteem’s referral services.  No policyholder is under an obligation to sell a life insurance policy. We do not charge any fees to a user of our referral services, but we may receive a referral fee from a life or viatical settlement broker or a life or viatical settlement provider to which we refer a user.  Esteem’s referral services do not constitute a solicitation or offer by Esteem or its affiliates to buy or sell any life insurance policy, or to provide any viatical or life settlement or investment advice or service. Esteem’s referral services do not constitute business, insurance, financial, investment, estate planning, legal or tax advice or recommendations, and a policyholder should not rely on Esteem referral services as a basis for making a decision to sell or not to sell a life insurance policy or any viatical or life settlement transaction decision.  A holder of or insured under a life insurance policy should seek advice about the life insurance policy and any potential viatical or life settlement transaction from the policyholder’s and insured’s own business, financial, insurance, investment, estate planning, legal and tax advisors.  Through the policyholder’s and insured’s Authorization of Policy Owner and Insured for use and Disclosure of Non-Public Personal Information for Referral for Potential Life Settlement Transaction granted to Esteem, the policyholder and insured have authorized Esteem to use and disclose their non-public personal information (including the insured’s protected health information) and, through the insured’s Authorization for Disclosure of Protected Health Information granted to Esteem, the insured has authorized Esteem to obtain the insured’s protected health information, for purposes of Esteem’s referral services.
