All personal information collected through this Website is subject to our Privacy Policy that is incorporated herein by reference.

2. About Our Services

Not a Lender. We are not a lender or broker. We do not take applications, make loans, or make credit decisions in connection with your loans. We are not registered or licensed by any state or federal governmental entity for our services. You may contact us using the information in the Notice and Contacting Us section below.

Matching You with Lenders. We work to arrange for the extension of credit through one of our Lenders. We use the information you provide us to allow our Lenders to offer loans that may be of interest to you. We collect information from you to register you as a user of our Website and to determine if you meet a Lender’s eligibility criteria. After we analyze the information you provide, we will work with Lenders to arrange a loan offered by a Lender. If you are eligible to apply for loans offered by Lenders, then we may display choices that may interest you. You will then have the opportunity to select one of the choices. If you do not meet the eligibility criteria for the Lenders, then we may not provide you with any choices. You will have to complete an application with a Lender before they will offer you a loan. Lenders offer these terms directly to you. We may transfer your information to Lenders at your request and with your authorization to allow the Lender to prepare your application with them for you to submit. This is the point that you start an application process for a loan from the Lender that you have selected. The application process takes place with the Lender; we do not offer you the loan.

Relationship with Lenders. You must rely on your own judgment to decide which product and Lender suits your needs. You are under no obligation to use our Website to find a loan. We do not guarantee that completing a request will result in a match with a Lender. You may not receive an offer from a Lender. We do not have any control over the criteria that Lenders use in accepting or rejecting your application. We do not guarantee that the options available to you from the Lenders are the best terms or the lowest rates available. If we do not provide you with any choices, then you will not be able to be transferred to a Lender from our Website to apply for a loan.

No Endorsement. We do not recommend or endorse the products or offerings of any Lender. The Lender is solely responsible for its services and relationship with you. We are not liable for any damages or costs related to your relationship with the Lender.

Not an Agent. Unless stated otherwise, we are not your agent. Furthermore, we are not the agent for any participating Lender.

Collection of Information and Verification. We may require that you furnish us and the Lender with identifying information. We use this information as detailed under our Privacy Policy. We also use this information to match you with potential loan offers from Lenders. You authorize us and Lenders to obtain a personal credit profile from a credit bureau for credit pre-qualification and identity verification. You further agree that we may verify your identity and the information you provide us with third parties. A Lender may require more information from you to apply for a loan. The terms and conditions of any loan available from the Lender may change depending on information available to the Lender or your complete credit profile. We, or a Lender, may require further information from you to comply with our legal obligations, including, without limitation, anti-terrorism laws and regulations. You agree that any information you provide us will be governed by the Terms of Use, including, without limitation, the Conditions of Use section below.

Sharing of Information. You agree that we may share your information with Lenders to provide you with potential Loan choices. You acknowledge that Lenders have their own privacy practices and that you should review and understand their privacy policies and website terms of use when you apply for a loan with these Lenders. You agree that both the Lender and we may communicate with you regarding your use of the Website, the Service, and the information you shared with us.

Fees. We do not charge you fees for the use of our Services. Lenders compensate us for services that we provide to them. This compensation varies with each Lender, loan, or service. Your loan, loan rate, or loan terms may include an origination fee paid by the Lender.
