Lot Hold Terms & Conditions

1. AGREEMENT OVERVIEW

These Terms & Conditions ("Agreement") govern the Lot Hold ("Lot Hold") submitted through natalranch.com. By completing payment of the Lot Hold Deposit, the buyer ("Buyer") agrees to all terms set forth below.

This Lot Hold is administered by Northclub LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("Administrator"), acting on behalf of the Seller. The identity of the Seller will be disclosed in full in the purchase contract upon execution.

2. THE LOT HOLD

The Lot Hold grants the Buyer an exclusive 30-day hold on one specific lot within the NATAL master-planned community in Valle de Guadalupe, Baja California, Mexico ("the Property").

During the hold period:

— NATAL will not sell or accept deposits from any other buyer for the same lot.

— NATAL and the Buyer will work toward executing a formal purchase contract.

The Lot Hold does not constitute a purchase contract, a binding offer to sell, or a guarantee of final sale terms. It grants exclusivity only — not ownership.

3. BUYER REPRESENTATIONS & BACKGROUND AUTHORIZATION

By submitting payment, the Buyer represents and warrants to NATAL and Northclub LLC that:

— The Buyer is at least 18 years of age and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement.

— The Buyer is acting on their own behalf. No undisclosed third party has a beneficial interest in this Lot Hold or any future purchase.

— The funds used for the Lot Hold Deposit and any future purchase are from lawful sources and are not the proceeds of any illegal activity.

— The Buyer is not listed on any U.S. government sanctions list, including OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list, nor any equivalent international sanctions list.

— All information provided by the Buyer to NATAL is accurate and complete.

The Buyer explicitly authorizes NATAL and Northclub LLC to conduct identity verification and background due diligence as a condition of processing the Lot Hold and advancing toward a purchase contract. NATAL may request additional documentation at any time prior to contract execution. Failure to provide requested documentation within a reasonable timeframe is grounds for cancellation under Section 14 of this Agreement.

4. NO ASSIGNMENT

The Buyer may not assign, transfer, sell, or otherwise convey this Lot Hold or any rights under this Agreement to any third party without the prior written consent of NATAL and Northclub LLC. Any attempted assignment without such consent is void. NATAL may withhold consent in its sole discretion.

5. LOT HOLD DEPOSIT

Total Amount: $1,000 USD

Payment is processed via Stripe. The Buyer will receive a confirmation email upon successful payment, including the lot identifier, hold start date, and hold expiration date.

$750 — Refundable Portion

Returned in full if the Buyer submits a written cancellation request within 14 calendar days of the deposit date. Processed to the original payment method within 5–10 business days.

$250 — Non-Refundable Portion

Covers the administrative processing fee for processing the Lot Hold and following up with the Buyer. Retained by Northclub LLC in all cases, regardless of whether the Buyer proceeds to purchase.

If the Buyer proceeds to purchase, the full $1,000 is credited toward the purchase price or down payment.

6. PRICE LOCK CLARIFICATION

The Lot Hold Deposit does not lock or guarantee any specific purchase price. Final pricing is established solely in the executed purchase contract. Any pricing discussed, quoted, or referenced prior to contract execution — verbally or in writing — is non-binding and subject to change. If the Buyer does not execute a purchase contract within the hold period, no pricing representation of any kind creates an obligation on NATAL.

7. HOLD PERIOD

The 30-day hold begins on the date the deposit payment is received and confirmed ("Hold Start Date"). The hold expires at 11:59 PM Pacific Time on the 30th calendar day ("Hold Expiration Date").

If no signed purchase contract is executed before the Hold Expiration Date:

— The hold expires automatically.

— The $750 refundable portion may be returned upon written request submitted before the Hold Expiration Date.

— Requests submitted after expiration are not guaranteed and reviewed case-by-case.

— The $250 non-refundable fee is retained in all cases.

— The Property returns to active listing status.

NATAL reserves the right to extend the hold period at its discretion, in writing, upon mutual agreement.

8. CANCELLATION & REFUNDS

To cancel and request a refund of the $750 refundable portion, the Buyer must submit a written cancellation request to the contact information provided in the confirmation email within 14 calendar days of the Hold Start Date.

Cancellations submitted after 14 days but before the Hold Expiration Date are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and are not guaranteed. The $250 non-refundable fee is never returned.

Refunds are issued to the original payment method via Stripe. Processing time is 5–10 business days after approval.

9. NEXT STEPS AFTER DEPOSIT

1. Confirmation email sent to Buyer with lot details, hold dates, and contact information.

2. NATAL will reach out within 3 business days to begin the purchase process.

3. Buyer will receive a formal purchase contract for review, which will include the full identity of the Seller.

4. Buyer is encouraged to retain independent legal counsel prior to signing any purchase contract.

10. FINANCING & TITLE TRANSFER

Buyers who do not pay the full purchase price in cash at closing will not receive a property title (fideicomiso) until the total purchase amount has been paid in full.

Upon contract execution, financed purchases are governed by a Contrato Promesa de Compraventa (Promise of Purchase-Sale Agreement), a legally recognized instrument under Mexican law that establishes the terms of the installment agreement and commits both parties to the future transfer of title upon full liquidation of the agreed purchase price.

Title transfer via fideicomiso will be initiated only upon receipt of the final payment. During the financing period, the Buyer has no claim to title or beneficial ownership rights through the fideicomiso.

In the event the Buyer defaults on any payment obligation under the Contrato Promesa de Compraventa, NATAL reserves the right to cancel the agreement, retain payments made as liquidated damages, and return the Property to active inventory. The specific remedies for buyer default will be defined in the purchase contract and govern in all cases.

11. THIRD-PARTY COSTS

All costs associated with the purchase and transfer of title are the sole responsibility of the Buyer, including but not limited to:

— Mexican notary (Notario Público) fees

— Fideicomiso bank setup fees and annual trust maintenance fees

— Closing costs and transfer taxes

— Buyer's independent legal counsel fees

— Currency conversion costs

— Any costs associated with obtaining financing

NATAL makes no representation regarding the total acquisition cost beyond the stated lot price.

12. PROPERTY DISCLOSURES

The property subject to this Lot Hold is located in Baja California, Mexico. The Buyer acknowledges and accepts the following:

— The lot is raw land. Dirt road access is included. No utilities (water, electricity, sewer) are provided as part of the lot unless explicitly stated in writing.

— Foreign nationals purchase Mexican property in the restricted zone through a bank trust (fideicomiso), which is the standard, legally recognized ownership structure. The fideicomiso grants full beneficial ownership including the right to sell, lease, improve, or transfer.

— Building on the lot is permitted subject to NATAL community building codes, which govern setbacks, height limits, materials, and permitted uses. These codes are embedded in the purchase contract.

— Title is held with individual parcel numbers (folio real) assigned.

— Closing typically takes 30 to 90 days after contract execution for cash purchases.

— Past appreciation or performance of surrounding properties is not a guarantee of future value.

13. NATAL'S RIGHT TO MODIFY COMMUNITY PLANS

NATAL reserves the right, at its sole discretion and without prior notice to the Buyer, to modify, amend, or discontinue any aspect of the NATAL master-planned community, including but not limited to: infrastructure plans, road layout, phasing schedules, amenity offerings, community design guidelines, and neighboring lot development. Such modifications do not constitute a breach of this Agreement, provided the specific lot dimensions and dirt road access are not materially affected. The Buyer does not rely on any community plan, site map, rendering, or amenity description as a guarantee of future delivery.

14. RIGHT TO REJECT OR CANCEL

NATAL and Northclub LLC reserve the right, at their sole discretion, to reject any Lot Hold submission, cancel an active Lot Hold, or decline to proceed with a purchase contract — at any stage prior to execution of a final, signed purchase contract — for any reason, including but not limited to:

— The Buyer's identity, source of funds, or background raises concerns during NATAL's due diligence review.

— The Buyer fails to provide documentation reasonably requested by NATAL or its legal representatives.

— The Buyer's conduct, communications, or representations are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

— Any other reason determined by NATAL in good faith.

In the event NATAL exercises this right, the Lot Hold Deposit ($1,000) will be refunded in full to the Buyer within 5–10 business days. NATAL shall have no further obligation to the Buyer beyond the return of the deposit.

15. INDEMNIFICATION

The Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless NATAL, Northclub LLC, and their respective members, officers, agents, and representatives from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) the Buyer's misrepresentation of any fact in connection with this Agreement; (b) the Buyer's breach of any provision of this Agreement; (c) the Buyer's intended or actual use of the Property; or (d) any claim brought by a third party asserting rights through the Buyer.

16. NO BROKERAGE REPRESENTATION

NATAL and Northclub LLC are not licensed real estate brokers in California, Texas, or Mexico. This transaction is a direct sale by the property owner. The Buyer is encouraged to seek independent legal and financial advice. The Buyer is not represented by any agent or broker in this transaction unless independently retained by the Buyer at the Buyer's sole expense.

17. FORCE MAJEURE

NATAL and Northclub LLC shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform obligations under this Agreement caused by circumstances beyond their reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, war, civil unrest, government actions, regulatory changes affecting Mexican real estate or fideicomiso structures, banking system failures, or any other event outside NATAL's reasonable control. In such events, NATAL's obligations are suspended for the duration of the force majeure condition. If the condition persists beyond 90 days, either party may terminate the Lot Hold and the Buyer will receive a full refund of the deposit.

18. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

NATAL and Northclub LLC's total liability to the Buyer arising from or related to this Lot Hold shall not exceed the amount of the Lot Hold Deposit paid ($1,000 USD). Neither party shall be liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages of any kind, regardless of whether NATAL has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

19. NO PARTNERSHIP OR AGENCY

Nothing in this Agreement creates or shall be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, employment relationship, or agency relationship between the Buyer and NATAL or Northclub LLC. The Buyer has no authority to bind NATAL or Northclub LLC to any obligation.

[To be defined by legal counsel.]

21. NOTICE

Any written notice required or permitted under this Agreement shall be delivered by email to the address provided by each party at the time of the Lot Hold. Notice is deemed received on the date sent, provided no delivery failure notification is received within 24 hours. NATAL's notice address is the email address in the Buyer's confirmation email. The Buyer's notice address is the email address provided at the time of payment.

22. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if modification is not possible, severed from this Agreement. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

23. WAIVER

NATAL's failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement at any time shall not be construed as a waiver of that provision or of any other provision. No waiver is effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Northclub LLC.

24. ENTIRE AGREEMENT & NO ORAL MODIFICATIONS

This Agreement, together with the confirmation email and deposit receipt, constitutes the entire agreement between the Buyer and Northclub LLC with respect to the Lot Hold. It supersedes all prior and contemporaneous verbal and written representations, negotiations, and understandings. No verbal statement, promise, or representation made by any NATAL representative — before or after this Agreement — is binding unless expressly incorporated in a written amendment signed by both parties. The formal purchase contract, once executed, will govern the actual sale transaction.

25. ACCEPTANCE
