These Terms of Use, together with Lendersa®’s Privacy Policy, set forth the terms and conditions (“Terms”) that apply to your access and use of all Lendersa®  products and services. “Lendersa® ” includes Lendersa® , Inc. and its officers, directors, employees, consultants, affiliates, subsidiaries and agents.

By using or accessing the Lendersa®  Services you agree to these Terms, as updated from time to time.

Lenders and service providers may need to provide information such as credit card or bank account numbers to third parties. For more information at our Privacy Policy.

1. Registration and Account Security.

To use the Services you must (i) be at least eighteen (18) years of age; (ii) have not previously been suspended or removed from the Services; and (iii) register for and use the Services in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations.

a) Account Registration.

 To access some features of the Services, you may be required to register for an account. When you register for an account, we may ask you to give us certain identifying information about yourself, including but not limited to your email address and other contact information, and to create a username and password (“Registration Information”).

I hereby authorize Lendersa®  and its wholly-owned subsidiaries to periodically obtain and use consumer reports about me in order to provide me with recommendations regarding financial products and services that may be of interest to me, including home loans and other financial products and services offered by Lendersa®  partners.

2. Specific Requirements for Certain Services.

Your use of the Services constitutes your acknowledgment and acceptance of the following specific requirements and terms of use for certain of the Lendersa®  Services.

Terms Applicable to Realty Services

By clicking on any button indicating an acceptance or agreement to terms, a continuance of processing or submission (collectively, a “submission”), including any submission made in connection with a Loan Request Form for other Lendersa®  products or services on which you indicate your desire to be connected with a real estate company, you understand that you are agreeing to the stated terms and conditions of that submission and that you are submitting an inquiry to Lendersa®  and its network of real estate companies, brokers, and agents (“Real Estate Companies”). You authorize Lendersa®  to forward your information to the Real Estate Companies. You further understand and agree that by selecting a Real Estate Company or other provider, you are providing express written consent for them to contact you by telephone at the numbers (whether landline or cellular) you have provided, including for marketing purposes, and you hereby consent to any such calls even if your phone number is on the Do Not Call list.

Terms Applicable to Lendersa®

By creating a Lendersa®  account (whether directly or in conjunction with submitting a Loan Request Form), you understand and consent to Lendersa®  receiving and accessing consumer report information about you from one or more credit bureaus. By registering with Lendersa® , you are providing express written instructions under the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act that we may use and analyze your information as follows: to (a) present you an overview of your credit profile including detailed information where available; (b) provide you with customized recommendations and general information about you; and/or (c) serve you targeted ads and other communications based on your information, (d)identify affiliate and non-affiliate Providers that may be able to provide valuable services to you; (e) so that Lendersa®  may perform analysis and data modeling in order to offer customers better Services in the future. This information could include, but might not be limited to, your credit report, credit score, and other credit information. For as long as you maintain a Lendersa®  account, you are providing express written consent for us to maintain and share information provided by you, and about you by third parties, to assist with litigation, regulatory request(s), law enforcement requests, internal analytics, marketing purposes, and any other legally permissible purpose.

Terms Applicable to Mortgage Loan Request Services

We provide multiple mortgage request services that you can use to comparison shop for mortgage products. There is a subset of Providers on the Lendersa®  network that may need your SSN to make a conditional offer; there is also a subset of Providers on the Lendersa®  network that prefer to take leads without an SSN. To use either service, you must provide the information requested on the form, agree to the full Electronic Consent, this Agreement, the Privacy Policy, and any additional terms that are included in the individual form you complete.

Lendersa®  empowers consumers to comparison shop for mortgage products and is licensed as a Mortgage Broker in California. Lendersa®  DOES NOT take formal mortgage applications as defined under applicable state laws, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Truth In Lending Act (“TILA”), and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (“RESPA”). Lendersa®  is not a lender or a creditor. Lendersa®  DOES NOT originate Loans or make credit decisions in connection with Loans, nor does Lendersa®  issue commitments or lock-in agreements. Lendersa® ’s services are only administrative. Any Loan Request Form you submit is NOT an application for credit. Rather, it is an inquiry to be matched with Providers that may be able to present conditional offers. You will have to complete a formal application with the Provider you choose before the Provider will extend an unconditional offer.

If you close a Loan with a Provider, you will be responsible for paying for any settlement services or closing costs associated with your Loan (such as Loan processing, underwriting, funding fees, appraisals, title insurance premiums, attorney and notary fees, etc.). The Provider, not Lendersa® , and the settlement service providers you select will determine the amount of any such fees. Unless expressly stated in writing, nothing contained herein shall constitute an offer or promise for a Loan commitment or interest rate lock-in agreement. The Websites and the Services provided by Lendersa®  are available in connection with Loans made on real property located in the fifty states and the District of Columbia unless otherwise specified. Providers may not offer all products as well as not offer products in all states.

You might not be matched with any specific Providers making any specific offers. We will continue to attempt to match you for up to 10 days and in certain cases longer after you submit your last edited request and may contact you via telephone at the number you provided to attempt to help you obtain a match. If we are able to identify a match not originally identified on your online offers page, you agree we may call or contact you to identify such Providers and you may elect to be connected with those Providers to learn more about their products and services. Lendersa®  cannot and will not select a Provider for you.

When you complete a Loan Request Form online, by clicking on any button indicating an acceptance, acknowledgement or agreement to terms, a continuance of processing or submission you understand that you are consenting, acknowledging and agreeing to the stated terms and conditions of that submission and that you are submitting an inquiry as to a product to which Lendersa®  will match you with Providers to whom your Loan Request data and personal information is transmitted. Lendersa®  will also try to find you matches for similar products for which you sought as well as alternative products that may be suitable for your financial needs. For example, if you sought a home equity Loan or home equity line of credit but are also over the age of 62 then Lendersa®  may present to you a reverse mortgage Provider for a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage.

Terms Applicable to Commercial Loan Requests

Lendersa® ’s commercial Loan Websites and Services, are designed for businesses and are not intended for individuals’ personal, family or household use. Accordingly, we treat all personal information collected for commercial Loan products, including information about any visitors to our website, as pertaining to individuals acting as business representatives, rather than in their personal capacity.

Terms Applicable to Financial Education Content

We provide content and tools on our Websites that allow you to enhance your financial education and learn how certain financial decisions could impact your financial well-being. We provide these materials for informational, educational, and entertainment purposes only, and at no time are we providing legal, financial, investment, tax planning, or medical advice. Our Websites do not include the entire universe of available credit or financial offers.

Terms Applicable to All Services

We provide educational content and operate online marketplaces that enable consumers to comparison shop on Lendersa® ’s Website for financial products and services offered by Lendersa® ’s network of Providers.

By submitting any Loan Request or Registration Form containing your electronic signature through a Lendersa®  Website, and separately for each such request you submit, you are indicating that you desire to be contacted by Providers, and you are providing express written consent that Lendersa® , a third party on Lendersa® ’s behalf, and Lendersa® ’s Network Partners with whom you are matched, may deliver calls or text messages to you, including for marketing purposes, using an automatic telephone dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded voice to the phone number you have provided. You understand that you are providing this consent to receive such telephone calls even if your telephone number is currently listed on any federal, state, local, internal, or corporate Do-Not-Call (“DNC”) Lists. You understand that you are not required to consent to receive these communications as a condition of using Lendersa® ’s services.

You consent to receive email from Lendersa® , its affiliates, and its Providers at the email address you provided or at other addresses that may be associated with you that we receive from Providers or other parties. You hereby consent to any such email, so it will not be considered spam or unauthorized by any local, state or federal law or regulation. You agree that the consents described herein shall remain valid and in effect until you revoke them by opting out as described below.

You may opt out of receiving calls from Lendersa®  at any time by engaging in any of the following reasonable means: (1) emailing info@Lendersa® .com to expressly state in writing that you no longer wish to be contacted by Lendersa®  and are revoking your consent to be contacted; (2) notifying a Lendersa®  customer service representative that you no longer wish to be contacted by Lendersa®  and are revoking your consent to be contacted; or (3) Responding to any SMS, mobile, or text message you receive from Lendersa®  in accordance with the express written instructions of that particular messaging program. At any time, you may update your preferred method of contact by emailing info@Lendersa® .com. You agree to notify any particular Provider directly if you no longer want to receive communications from them. You further agree that Lendersa®  is not responsible for a Provider’s failure to follow your or our instructions to stop contacting you.

Lendersa®  is not a lender or a creditor. Lendersa®  is not an agent of either you or any Provider. Except as otherwise provided for in your state (please see the Licenses section of the Websites), Lendersa®  is not acting as your agent or as the agent of any Provider. Lendersa® ’s services are only administrative. You agree you will rely on your own judgment and research independent of any communications or information you receive from Lendersa®  in deciding which available product, terms and Provider best suits your needs and financial situation.

Any Loan Request Form you submit is not an application for credit. Rather, it is an inquiry to be matched with Providers that may be able to present conditional offers. The Provider is solely responsible for its services to you, and you agree that Lendersa®  shall not be liable for any damages or costs of any type arising out of or in any way connected with your use of such services or your interactions with any Provider. You understand that Providers may keep your Loan Request Form information and any other information provided by Lendersa®  or received by them in the processing of your Loan Request or Registration Form, whether you are qualified for a product with them or complete a formal application for services with them.

For any Service, by saving your information with Lendersa®  or submitting a Loan Request Form, you represent that all the information you have provided is true, accurate, current and complete. You further acknowledge that you alone will use your account to access the Services. You must not sell, transform or assign your account to anyone else. You agree to keep your login information confidential, to employ reasonable and appropriate safeguards to prevent unauthorized access to your account, and to not share your account credentials with any third party or allow anyone else to log into our Services as you. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your member account. If you believe that your account is no longer secure, you agree to notify us immediately.

When you “submit” information, create an account or otherwise register for Services through our Websites, you understand and agree that you have established a business relationship between you and Lendersa® . Accordingly, Lendersa®  may send your information to certain affiliates and third parties as provided in the Privacy Policy and you agree that Lendersa® , its affiliates, and persons calling on Lendersa® ’s behalf may contact you using information you provided with information and offers of services available through Lendersa®  and the Websites. You also give Lendersa®  permission to retain all such provided information and to make live or recorded calls to discuss, provide or remind you of any information regarding your submission, including incomplete Loan Request Forms or Registration Forms, the identification of matched Providers, deadlines, quality of services or other matters in connection with your Loan Request Form or Registration Form.
In addition, certain state and federal laws require that the information you provide us is housed and securely maintained and cannot be removed, purged, or destroyed until the expiration of certain prescribed periods. Providers may also from time-to-time be required to share the information you submit to them with Lendersa®  in order to adhere to applicable laws. Providers and Lendersa®  may also maintain and share information provided by you and about you by third parties for internal marketing and analytics. You are providing express written consent for the retention of this information upon completion of an inquiry form for Lendersa®  and the selected Provider to share this information for these purposes.

By submitting a Loan Request Form, you are providing express written instructions under the Fair Credit Reporting Act for Lendersa®  and Provider partners with whom you are matched to obtain your consumer credit report from your credit profile or other information from contracted Credit Bureau(s) for the purpose of matching you to a Provider, product, or service through the Lendersa®  network. This information could include, but might not be limited to, your credit report, credit score, and other credit information. Lendersa®  will obtain a limited credit report (“soft pull”) regardless of whether you provide your Social Security Number. To help the government fight identity theft, the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, and to help attempt to verify your identity, Lendersa®  and its Providers may obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account with us and Providers. Lendersa®  and its Providers may ask for your name, Social Security Number, address, telephone number, date of birth and other important information including, but not limited to, information received from your credit file, that may allow us and Providers to properly identify you. It is possible that a Provider may perform a soft inquiry on your credit at the same time for the same or similar purposes, but the soft inquiry into your credit does not impact your credit score. Not all Providers will receive your Social Security Number and, for those that do, not all will perform the soft inquiry of credit. Lendersa®  does not perform hard inquiries into credit. From time-to-time Lendersa®  is examined by state and federal regulators and as such is required to maintain your Personally Identifiable Information to adhere to certain jurisdictions’ data retention requirements. Your information may also be obtained from Providers after you are matched to adhere to state and federal reporting and record retention requirements. You authorize Lendersa®  and its participating Providers to share such information as required.

Services offered by Providers may only be made to residents of states where Providers are authorized to make such Loans. A Provider’s participation in and offering of its products on the Websites does not constitute an offer by any Provider or by Lendersa®  to provide services outside of their authorized jurisdictions, and to the extent you seek or receive information from a Provider regarding any prospective service which would be outside of the Providers’ authorized jurisdiction, that information is for informational purposes only. Providers shall have the right to discontinue, suspend or terminate the offering of any Loan product in any specific state through the Websites at any time, without prior notice.

We do not guarantee acceptance into any particular program or specific terms or conditions with any Provider; approval standards are established and maintained solely by individual Providers. Likewise, we do not guarantee that the rates offered by Providers include the lowest rates available in the market or the rate that the Providers will ultimately charge. A Provider’s conditional Loan offer may be subject to market conditions, approval and qualification. The rates and fees actually provided by Providers may be higher or lower depending on your complete credit profile, collateral/property considerations (if applicable) including but not limited to location, equity and value and income/asset consideration including but not limited to Loan to value and debt to income ratios. Unless expressly stated in writing, nothing contained herein shall constitute an offer or promise for a Loan commitment or interest rate lock-in agreement. Providers may not offer all products as well as not offer products in all states. You might not be matched with the Provider making any specific offer. If you agree to terms with any Provider with whom you are matched on our Websites, you will be responsible for paying for any closing costs associated with your Loan (such as settlement services, Loan processing, underwriting or funding fees) at closing.

By clicking on any button indicating an acceptance or agreement to terms, a continuance of processing or submission (collectively, a “submission”) you understand that you are consenting, acknowledging and agreeing to the stated terms and conditions of that submission and that you are submitting an inquiry for a Service through Lendersa®  to each of the Providers to whom your Loan Request is transmitted. You are also indicating that you are consenting, acknowledging and agreeing to receive notices, disclosures and other communications (“Disclosures and Communications”) in electronic form (either by email or via the Internet) as provided for in the Consent for Electronic Disclosures and Communications from Lendersa®  and its Providers.

3. Third Party Services.

9. Disclaimers of Warranties.

The Services are provided “as is” and on an “as available” basis, without warranty or condition of any kind, either express or implied. Although Lendersa®  seeks to maintain safe, secure, accurate, and well-functioning services, we cannot guarantee the continuous operation of or access to our Services, and there may at times be inadvertent technical or factual errors or inaccuracies.

a) No Warranties.

 Lendersa®  specifically (but without limitation) disclaims (i) any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quiet enjoyment, or non-infringement; and (ii) any warranties arising out of course-of-dealing, usage, or trade. You assume all risk for any/all damages that may result from your use of or access to the Services.

10. Limitation of Liability.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of warranties or limitation of liability in certain circumstances. Accordingly, some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

11. Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver.

In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Lendersa®  in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, you and Lendersa®  agree to resolve disputes through binding arbitration or small claims court instead of in courts of general jurisdiction (“Agreement to Arbitrate”). Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. You acknowledge and agree that the arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that individual party’s claim(s). Any relief awarded cannot affect other users.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND Lendersa®  ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

 

a) Claims To Be Resolved By Binding Arbitration.

 You and Lendersa®  agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to: claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory; claims that arose before this or any prior Terms; claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.

b) Exceptions.

Notwithstanding Section 12(A), you and Lendersa®  agree that no statement herein shall be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either party’s right to (i) bring an individual action in small claims court; (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available; (iii) seek injunctive relief in any competent court of law; or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.

c) Arbitrator.

Any arbitration between you and Lendersa®  will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Lendersa® .

d) Notice and Process.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Lendersa®  should be addressed to: Lendersa® , Inc.,  22527 CRENSHAW BLVD ST E 200,

TORRANCE, CA. 90505, USA “Notice Address”). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If you and Lendersa®  do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Lendersa®  may commence an arbitration proceeding.

e) Fees.

In the event that you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Lendersa®  will, at your request, reimburse you for your payment of the arbitration filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees shall be decided by the AAA Rules. Any request for payment of fees by Lendersa®  should be submitted by mail to the AAA along with your Demand for Arbitration and Lendersa®  will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to the AAA. In the event the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), you agree to reimburse Lendersa®  for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by Lendersa®  on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA’s rules.

If your claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in San Francisco County, California. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

f) No Class Actions.

Unless both you and Lendersa®  agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

YOU AND LENDERSA®  AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

 

g) Opt-Out.

If you are a new Lendersa®  user, you can choose to reject the arbitration agreement contained in this Section 12 (“opt-out”) by mailing us a written opt-out notice (“Opt-Out Notice”). The Opt-Out Notice must be postmarked no later than thirty (30) days after the date you accept these Terms for the first time.
