    "returnAllInfo": true,
    "factoryDescription": {
      "label": "",
      "featureSpecific": {}
    },
    "customPreferences": {
     "FIND_DPV": "true",
     "FIND_SUITELINK": "true"
    }
  },
  "addresses": [
    {
      "addressLines": [
        "2502 N ROCKY POINT DR"
      ],
      "country": "USA",
