COURTESY TITLE, INCORPORATED, herein called Agent, is authorized and agrees by acceptance of said 
Escrow Deposit, to hold same in escrow and subject to clearance, disburse them in accordance with terms and 
conditions of the Contract. (Contract being the Real Estate Contract between Buyers and Sellers.) Failure of 
funds to clear shall not excuse Buyer’s performance. If in doubt as to Agent’s duties or liabilities under the 
provisions of the Real Estate Contract, Agent may, at Agent’s option, continue to hold the subject matter of the 
escrow until the parties hereto agree to its disbursement or until a judgement of a court of competent jurisdiction 
shall determine the rights of the parties, or Agent may deposit same with the Clerk of the Circuit Court having 
jurisdiction of the dispute. Upon notifying all parties concerned of such action, all liability on the part of the 
Agent shall fully terminate, except to the extent of accounting for any items previously delivered out of escrow 
and any suit wherein between Buyer and Seller wherein Agent is made a party because of acting as Agent 
hereunder, or in any suit where Agent interpleads the subject matter of the escrow, Agent shall recover 
reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred with these amounts to be paid from and out of the escrowed funds, 
or equivalent and charged and awarded as court costs in favor of the prevailing party. The Agent shall not be 
liable to any party or person for misdelivery to Buyer or Seller of items subject to the escrow, unless such 
misdelivery is due to willful breach of the provisions of the Real Estate Contract or gross negligence of Agent. 
  
DEPOSITS:  All checks, money orders or drafts will be processed for collection in the normal course of 
business. Escrow Agent may commingle funds received by it in escrow with escrow funds of others, and may, 
without limitation, deposit such funds in its custodial or escrow funds of others, and may, without limitation, 
deposits such funds in its custodial or escrow accounts with any reputable trust company, bank, savings 
association, or other financial services entity, including any affiliate of Escrow Agent. It is understood that 
Escrow Agent shall be under no obligation to invest the funds deposited with it on behalf of any depositor, nor 
shall it be accountable for any earnings or incidental benefit attributable to the funds which may be received by 
Escrow Agent while it holds such funds. 
 
Upon completion of the disbursement of the funds and delivery of instruments, if any, Escrow Agent shall be 
automatically released and discharged of its escrow obligations hereunder.
