TERMS OF SERVICE
Operated by ZingThis, LLC d/b/a ZingRally
Effective Date: April 20, 2025
Last Updated: April 5, 2026
Applies to: zingrally.com and all associated subdomains and services
By accessing or using zingrally.com, submitting a contact or inquiry form, or signing a Client Service Agreement with ZingRally (collectively, the “Services”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Services.
THESE TERMS CONTAIN AN ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, LIMITS YOUR ABILITY TO SEEK RELIEF IN A COURT OF LAW, AND WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASS ACTIONS, CLASS ARBITRATIONS, OR A JURY TRIAL FOR CERTAIN DISPUTES.
1. About ZingRally
ZingThis, LLC, doing business as ZingRally (“ZingRally,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), is a property tax sale surplus recovery service and a registered trade name (DBA) of ZingThis, LLC — a Maryland limited liability company. ZingRally assists former property owners in identifying and reclaiming unclaimed surplus funds held by county governments and the Maryland State Comptroller resulting from tax sales.
ZingRally provides the following services:
- Researching and identifying unclaimed tax sale surplus funds held by county Finance Departments and equivalent state agencies in Maryland, Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Colorado, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Tennessee on behalf of former property owners
- Locating former property owners entitled to unclaimed surplus funds through public county records, the Maryland SDAT database, and Virginia property records
- Assisting former property owners in completing and submitting surplus fund claims directly to the appropriate county Finance Department or the Maryland State Comptroller’s unclaimed property program at claimitmd.com
- Earning a contingency-based service fee from the recovered amount as agreed in a signed Client Service Agreement — no upfront cost to the client
All recovered funds are paid directly from the county or state to the former property owner. ZingRally does not take custody of surplus funds at any time. ZingRally makes no guarantee of recovery. Surplus fund availability and eligibility depend on individual county records and applicable state law.
Important Disclosure — Your Right to File Without Us
FORMER PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO FILE SURPLUS FUND CLAIMS THEMSELVES AT NO COST THROUGH THEIR COUNTY FINANCE DEPARTMENT OR DIRECTLY AT CLAIMITMD.COM. ZINGRALLY’S SERVICE IS OPTIONAL AND PROVIDED FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE. YOU ARE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO USE ZINGRALLY TO RECOVER YOUR FUNDS.
Professional Advice Disclaimer
THE SERVICES ARE NOT INTENDED TO PROVIDE LEGAL, FINANCIAL, TAX, ACCOUNTING, OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVICE. ZINGRALLY IS NOT A LAW FIRM AND DOES NOT PROVIDE LEGAL REPRESENTATION. BEFORE MAKING ANY LEGAL OR FINANCIAL DECISIONS RELATED TO YOUR SURPLUS CLAIM, YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH AN APPROPRIATE LICENSED PROFESSIONAL. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ZINGRALLY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DECISION YOU MAKE BASED ON INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH OUR SERVICES.
1.1 Parent Company
ZingRally operates separately from ZingThis LegacyLoop. For information about ZingThis LegacyLoop — our creator visibility platform — please visit zingthis.com. The two services are governed by separate legal documents.
2. Eligibility and Client Requirements
2.1 Eligibility
ZingRally’s services are intended solely for individuals who are 18 years of age or older and who are, or believe they may be, the former record owner of real property sold at a tax sale in any state where ZingRally operates, or the legal heir, executor, or authorized representative of such a former owner. By using our Services or signing a Client Service Agreement, you represent and warrant that:
- You are at least 18 years of age
- You are the former record owner of the property, or are legally authorized to act on behalf of the former owner
- You are not prohibited from accessing or using the Services under any applicable laws or regulations
- All information you provide to ZingRally is accurate, current, and complete to the best of your knowledge
2.2 Identity Verification
To process your surplus fund claim, ZingRally may require you to provide a government-issued photo ID, proof of prior property ownership (such as a prior deed, tax bill, or title document), and any other documentation required by the relevant county Finance Department or state agency. You agree to provide requested documentation in a timely manner. ZingRally reserves the right to decline services if documentation cannot be verified or if eligibility cannot be established.
2.3 Accuracy of Information
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information in all communications with ZingRally and in all claim documentation. Providing false, misleading, or fraudulent information in connection with a surplus fund claim is a violation of these Terms, may constitute fraud under applicable state law, and may result in immediate termination of your Client Service Agreement and referral to appropriate authorities.
3. Client Service Agreement and Fees
3.1 Client Service Agreement Required
Before ZingRally takes any action on your behalf to locate, prepare, or submit a surplus fund claim, you must sign a Client Service Agreement. The Client Service Agreement sets forth the specific terms of your engagement with ZingRally, including the property address, the county or state agency holding the funds, your agreed service fee, and the contingency basis of payment. The Client Service Agreement is legally binding and is governed by Maryland law.
3.2 Contingency Fee — All States
ZingRally’s standard service fee is ten percent (10%) of the total amount successfully recovered on your behalf, regardless of the state in which the claim is filed. This rate is at or below the legally mandated cap in all states where ZingRally operates. The fee is due only upon successful recovery — meaning the county or state has released funds to you. No fee is charged if your claim is unsuccessful.
Your specific fee, the state in which your claim will be filed, and all material terms of your engagement are set forth in your signed Client Service Agreement prior to ZingRally taking any action on your behalf.
3.3 State-Specific Compliance Notes
While ZingRally’s 10% fee applies uniformly across all states, certain states impose additional procedural requirements that will be disclosed in your Client Service Agreement:
- Maryland: The 10% fee complies with Maryland Real Property Article and applicable Maryland law. Maryland clients have a statutory 10-day right of rescission as described in Section 3.5.
- Florida: Florida Statute § 45.033 caps total compensation at 12% of the surplus for foreclosure surplus assignments, and Florida Statute § 197.582 governs tax deed surplus claims. ZingRally’s 10% fee is at or below the applicable Florida cap. Florida claimants have 120 days from the date of the Notice of Surplus Funds to submit a notarized claim to the county Clerk and Comptroller. Certain Florida foreclosure surplus claims may require a licensed Florida attorney; ZingRally will advise you if that applies to your claim.
- Virginia, Ohio, Colorado, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Tennessee: These states do not currently impose a statutory fee cap for surplus recovery services. ZingRally’s standard 10% rate applies.
- Other states: If ZingRally expands to additional states, your Client Service Agreement will confirm the applicable fee and any state-specific requirements.
3.4 No Upfront Fees
ZingRally does not charge any upfront fees, retainers, application fees, or processing fees. Any person or entity claiming to be affiliated with ZingRally and requesting upfront payment is not authorized to do so. Please report any such request to [email protected] immediately.
3.5 Right of Rescission — Maryland Clients
In compliance with Maryland Real Property Article §§ 7-314 and 7-315, Maryland clients have the right to rescind their Client Service Agreement at any time within 10 days after the auditor states the account of the foreclosure sale. A Notice of Rescission form will accompany your Client Service Agreement. To rescind, deliver written notice to ZingRally at the address specified in your agreement, with a copy to the court-appointed auditor. Rescission is without penalty or obligation during the rescission period.
3.6 Payment of Fee
Upon successful recovery of your surplus funds, you agree to pay ZingRally the agreed service fee as set forth in your Client Service Agreement. Payment is due within 10 business days of your receipt of the recovered funds. ZingRally may invoice you directly or, where agreed in your Client Service Agreement, the fee may be deducted from the recovered amount prior to disbursement where permitted by applicable county or state procedures.
3.7 No Guarantee of Recovery
ZINGRALLY MAKES NO GUARANTEE, REPRESENTATION, OR WARRANTY THAT YOUR SURPLUS CLAIM WILL BE SUCCESSFUL. RECOVERY DEPENDS ON FACTORS OUTSIDE ZINGRALLY’S CONTROL INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: THE SPECIFIC COUNTY’S CLAIM PROCEDURES, THE EXISTENCE AND AMOUNT OF SURPLUS FUNDS, COMPETING CLAIMS FROM LIENHOLDERS OR HEIRS, YOUR ABILITY TO PROVIDE REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION, AND APPLICABLE STATE AND LOCAL LAW. ZINGRALLY IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY UNSUCCESSFUL CLAIM OR FOR ANY DELAY IN THE RECOVERY PROCESS CAUSED BY COUNTY OR STATE AGENCIES.
4. Scope of Services and Limitations
4.1 What ZingRally Does
ZingRally’s services are limited to: researching public county and state records to identify unclaimed surplus funds; locating former property owners through publicly available sources; assisting with the preparation and submission of claim forms to county Finance Departments or the Maryland State Comptroller; and communicating with you throughout the claim process.
4.2 What ZingRally Does Not Do
ZingRally does not provide legal representation or legal advice; does not file court documents or appear in court on your behalf; does not take custody of or handle surplus funds directly; and does not guarantee any specific outcome or timeline. ZingRally currently operates in Maryland, Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Colorado, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and other U.S. states. Your Client Service Agreement will specify the state in which your claim will be filed.
4.3 Court-Involved Claims
Some surplus fund claims — particularly those involving competing lienholders, contested ownership, or foreclosure surplus held by a Circuit Court — may require court involvement and a licensed attorney in the applicable state to file on your behalf. In such cases, ZingRally will inform you that the claim falls outside the scope of our direct filing services and may refer you to a licensed attorney. ZingRally is not responsible for legal fees charged by any referred attorney.
5. Prohibited Uses
You agree not to use ZingRally’s services for any of the following purposes:
- Any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws or regulations
- To submit false, fraudulent, or misleading information in connection with a surplus claim
- To file a claim on behalf of another person without proper legal authorization (e.g., power of attorney, letters testamentary, or court order)
- To interfere with or disrupt ZingRally’s operations or systems
- To impersonate any person or entity or falsely represent your authority to act on another’s behalf
- To attempt to collect surplus funds to which you are not legally entitled
- To harass, abuse, harm, defame, or intimidate ZingRally personnel or affiliated parties
Violation of this section may result in immediate termination of your Client Service Agreement, forfeiture of any pending recovery, and referral to appropriate law enforcement or state authorities.
