TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. MODIFICATION OF THESE TERMS
We reserve the right to modify these Terms from time to time. Your use of the Site or our services after such a modification will constitute your acceptance of those changes. We may notify you of any such changes by any reasonable means, including by posting the revised version of these Terms to the Site. You can determine when we last changed this Agreement by referring to the "LAST UPDATED" date above.
2. IMPORTANT PRELIMINARY DISCLOSURES AND POLICIES
You acknowledge that you understand and agree to the disclosures made in our Ad Disclosure and terms of our Privacy Policy. The terms and disclosures made in those documents are incorporated into and considered a part of these Terms.
As described in more detail in our Ad Disclosure, we receive financial compensation from various lenders, third-party lender networks, other consumer financial service providers and other marketers in exchange for connecting you with them, sharing your information with them and/or marketing their products and services to you. This compensation allows us to offer our services for free to you and generate revenue for our business. This compensation may impact which providers you are connected with and the placement of ads. You are likely to be connected with the highest bidder(s) or see ads for the highest bidder(s).
Our Privacy Policy sets out your rights and our responsibilities with regard to your personal information. We will not use your information in any way inconsistent with the purposes and limitations provided in our Privacy Policy.
3. HOW OUR LOAN REQUEST SERVICE WORKS
Our loan request service (“Loan Request Service”) acts as an online marketplace that allows you to request a loan (“Loan Request”) and attempts to connect you with prospective lenders or other creditors (“Lenders”) that may offer you a loan or other form of credit (together, “Loan”) or invite you to apply for a Loan. These Lenders may participate in our direct network of lenders or participate in other third-party lender networks we work with (together with Lenders, “Lending Clients”).
To use our Loan Request Service, you must complete an online loan request form (“Loan Request Form”) that asks for certain information about you and your Loan Request. You agree that all information you provide to us is true, accurate and complete and that you will not misrepresent your identity, impersonate any third party or enter information on behalf of any third party.
As described in more detail in our Ad Disclosure and in our Privacy Policy, your Loan Request information is passed on to our Lending Clients so they choose whether to respond to your Loan Request by inviting you to apply for a Loan – or to help find a Lender willing to accept your Loan Request. Your information may also be used to otherwise market Loans to you.
If no Lenders accept your loan request, we may present you with an offer to submit another Loan Request or an offer for a different product. We reserve the right at any time after submission of your Loan Request Form to accept or decline your Loan Request for any reason in our sole discretion.
Depending on the information you submit in your Loan Request Form, we may market other consumer financial products and services (“Financial Services”) from other financial service providers (“Financial Providers”) to you and/or share your information with them or marketers so they can market Loans or Financial Services to you.
If a Lender chooses to respond to your Loan Request and/or you otherwise express interest in a Lender (eg. by clicking on an advertisement), your browser will be redirected to their website and they will likely also reach out to you by email, phone and/or SMS about your Loan Request.
You understand and agree that, once you have been redirected to a Lender or Financial Provider’s website, we have no involvement in your relationship with them or any transactions you enter into with them. Your interactions with Lenders and Financial Providers are subject to privacy policy, terms of use, and other policies or terms enforced by that Lenders or Financial Provider.
4. WE ARE NOT A LENDER AND DON’T MAKE CREDIT DECISIONS
We act solely as a paid marketing company. We are not a lender, creditor or broker and do not make any credit decisions. We are not involved in any credit transaction you may enter into with a Lender. All credit decisions are made by the Lender.
Our Loan Request Form is not an application for credit or a request for Loan pre-qualification. It is an inquiry to be connected with Lenders and to receive offers for related Financial Services.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY LENDER CLIENTS, FINANCIAL PROVIDERS OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES.
5. NO GUARANTEE OF LOAN OR CREDIT
You acknowledge and agree that we cannot and do not guarantee that a Lender will offer you a Loan or a Loan with any specific terms. We do not guarantee that any Loan offer you receive includes the best terms or lowest rates available in the market.
6. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR FINANCIAL DECISIONS
We are not affiliated with any Lenders or Financial Providers and do not endorse any specific Lenders or Financial Providers. We are not your agent, nor are we the agent of any Lenders or Financial Providers with respect to your request.
Our Loan Request Service is not designed to find you the best Loan terms. It is designed to find a Lender that is willing to offer you a loan. Any offer you receive may not be the best offer available to you. Lenders’ and Financial Providers’ offers may be subject to market conditions, approval and qualification.
We do not guarantee that we validate or investigate the licensing, certification or other requirements and qualifications of any Lenders or Financial Providers. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to investigate any such parties.
We urge you to carefully review the terms of any Loan offers or Financial Service offers you may receive and compare all options available to you before agreeing to any specific terms. We further urge you to obtain the advice of qualified financial advisors or other qualified professionals who are fully aware of your individual circumstances before you make any financial decisions. Any information we provide you is not a substitution for qualified professional advice, should not be construed as the provision of advice or recommendations and should not be relied upon as the basis for any financial decision. You acknowledge and agree that you rely on your own judgment and that of such advisors in selecting any Loans or Financial Services.
You hereby release us of any and all losses, costs, damages or claims in connection with, arising from or related to your use of a Lenders’ or Financial Provider’s products or services, including any fees that may be charged by them.
7. LENDERS WILL CHECK YOUR CREDIT
You understand and agree that by using the Loan Request Service you authorize the Lenders that review your Loan Request (and their service providers) under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) to obtain credit report and credit score from a credit reporting agency in order to verify your identity, choose whether to offer you a Loan and/or as otherwise permitted under the FCRA.
These credit checks may be a “hard” credit inquiry that leaves a record on your credit report and may affect your credit score or could be a “soft” inquiry which that will not affect your credit score. These credit checks may be performed through the “big three” credit reporting agencies, TransUnion, Equifax, or Experian, or through other alternative credit reporting agencies or data aggregators (such as Microbilt, Teletrack, DP Bureau, or DataX) that track consumer transactions with lending institutions.
Although Lenders may obtain your credit report, we do not do so and we have no involvement in that action by a Lender.
Lenders that check your credit may be required under the FCRA to provide you with certain notices relating to the credit check. You acknowledge and agree that we have no involvement with such notices.
You can learn more in our Credit Authorization Agreement, which you agree to when you use our Loan Request Service.
8. YOU CONSENT TO RECEIVE OFFERS, QUOTES & ADVERTISEMENTS
BY USING OUR LOAN REQUEST SERVICE, YOU EXPRESSLY CONSENT TO US, LENDERS AND FINANCIAL PROVIDERS CONTACTING YOU DIRECTLY WITH OFFERS, QUOTES OR ADVERTISEMENTS VIA MAIL, TELEPHONE, TEXT MESSAGE, FAX, EMAIL, AND OTHER MEANS OF COMMUNICATION.

THIS IS THE CASE EVEN IF YOU ARE ON THE NATIONAL DO NOT CALL REGISTRY OR ANY OTHER DO NOT CALL REGISTRY. CONSENT IS NOT REQUIRED IN ORDER TO PURCHASE GOODS AND SERVICES FROM US, LENDERS OR ANY FINANCIAL PROVIDERS.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT BY USING OUR LOAN REQUEST SERVICE, YOU HAVE ESTABLISHED A BUSINES RELATIONSHIP WITH US.

You may also receive other SMS messages from us, Lenders or Financial Providers in response to your Loan Request or your other expression of interest in Loans or Financial Services.
You may also receive subsequent “follow up” SMS messages or future offers in response to your initial request or expression of interest.
By using our Loan Request Service, you expressly consent to receiving such messages. You further acknowledge and agree that such messages are in response to your Loan Request or your other expression of interest in Loans or Financial Services.
You acknowledge and agree that message and/or data rates from your carrier may apply.

Our Loan Request Service may require you to submit information about your income. We do not independently verify the information you provide us about your income on our Loan Request Form.

22. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
NEITHER WE NOR OUR AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR SHAREHOLDERS (together, “SITE PARTIES”) SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE TO, OR LIABLE TO, YOU, OR ANY THIRD PARTY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFIT, REVENUE OR BUSINESS, AS A DIRECT OR INDIRECT RESULT OF: (A) YOUR BREACH OR VIOLATION OF THE TERMS; (B) YOUR ACCESS AND USE OF OUR SITE OR SERVICES; (C) YOUR DELAY IN ACCESSING OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE OUR SITE OR SERVICES FOR ANY REASON; (D) YOUR DOWNLOADING OF ANY OF THE CONTENT ON THE SITE FOR YOUR USE; (E) YOUR RELIANCE UPON OR USE OF THE INFORMATION PROVIDED ON THE SITE OR (F) ANY INFORMATION, SOFTWARE, PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OBTAINED THROUGH OUR SITE OR SERVICES, OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OUR SITE OR SERVICES, WHETHER RESULTING IN WHOLE OR IN PART, FROM BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORTIOUS BEHAVIOR, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGES.

In the event that any limitation on the period of time for bringing an action, claim, dispute or proceeding against us, located in this section of the Terms is determined or held to be inapplicable or unenforceable by any court, arbitration panel or other tribunal, then the statute of limitations for the State of Nevada shall apply to any such action, claim, dispute or proceeding referred to final or binding arbitration.
23. YOUR INDEMNIFICATION OF US
To the greatest extent permitted under applicable law, you shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless all Site Parties from and against all claims and expenses, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, arising out of, or attributable to: (a) any breach or violation of these Terms by you; (b) your failure to provide accurate, complete and current personally identifiable information requested or required by us; (c) your access or use of the Site or its services; and/or (d) any personal injury or property damage caused by you.
24. OUR REMEDIES
You acknowledge that we may be irreparably damaged if these Terms are not specifically enforced, and damages at law would be an inadequate remedy. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of these Terms by you, we shall be entitled, in addition to all rights and remedies, to an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post an injunction bond, and/or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions of these Terms.
For purposes of this Section, you agree that any action or proceeding regarding such injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach shall be brought in the courts of record of Clark County, Nevada or the United States District Court having jurisdiction therein. You consent to the jurisdiction of such court and waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in such court. You agree that service of any court paper may be effected on such party by mail or in such other manner as may be provided under applicable laws, rules of procedure or local rules.
25. ARBITRATION & CLASS ACTION WAIVER
25.1 As used in this section, “Agreement to Arbitrate” means the terms and conditions of this section of the Terms.
25.2 You and we each agree to resolve exclusively through final and binding arbitration any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and us (including any affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents), whether or not such dispute or claim involves a third party, relating in any way to any aspect of our relationship or any contact between us, direct or indirect, or arising out of this or previous versions of these Terms, your use of or access to our Site or services, or any products or services sold, offered, or purchased through our Site or services (“Dispute”).
25.3 You and we agree as follows:
(a) To submit the Dispute to a single arbitrator under the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), including when applicable the Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection and the Consumer Arbitration Rules, or, by separate mutual agreement, at another arbitration institution. The AAA’s rules, information regarding initiating a claim, and a description of the arbitration process are available at www.adr.org. The location of the arbitration and the allocation of fees and costs for such arbitration shall be determined in accordance with the AAA rules. As an alternative, you or we may bring a claim in your local “small claims” court, if permitted by that small claims court’s rules.
(b) The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate, and the arbitrability of the Dispute. The arbitrator will decide whether the Dispute can be arbitrated.
(c) You and we agree that each of us may bring a Dispute against the other only on our own behalf, and not on behalf of a government official or other person or entity, or a class of persons or entities. You and we agree, if we are a party to the proceeding, not to participate in a class action, a class-wide arbitration, a claim brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or a consolidated claim involving another person’s use of the site or our services. You and we agree not to combine a claim that is subject to arbitration under these Terms with a claim that is not eligible for arbitration under these Terms. You and we agree to waive the right to a trial by jury for all disputes.
(d) If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained in Section 25.3 is found to be unenforceable, then all of Section 25.3 will be null and void as to that Dispute.
(e) This Agreement to Arbitrate will survive the termination of your relationship with us.
25.4 To the extent permitted under applicable law, all aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
25.5. Unless you and we agree otherwise, if the Agreement to Arbitrate is found by a court to be unenforceable, if your claim is not covered by the Agreement to Arbitrate, or if you neither are a resident of nor have a principal place of business in the US, you agree that any Dispute that has arisen, or may arise, between you and us must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Clark County, Nevada. You and we agree to submit to personal jurisdiction in such court.
25.6. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, you and we agree that if we make a change to this Agreement to Arbitrate (other than a change to the notice address or the site link provided herein) in the future, that change shall not apply to a claim that was filed in a legal proceeding between you and us prior to the effective date of the change. The change shall apply to all other disputes or claims governed by the Agreement to Arbitrate that have arisen, or may arise, between you and us. We will notify you of a change to this Agreement to Arbitrate by posting the amended terms on the Site at least 30 days before the effective date of the change and/or by email.
25.7 You may opt out of this Agreement to Arbitrate. If you do so, neither you nor we can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must notify us in writing within 30 days of the date that you first became subject to this arbitration provision. Notice must be provided by email to support@verifiedadvance.com with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out.”
