Express Tech-Financing offers loan and lease request services, explained in more detail below. NOTE: Pursuant to the contracts between Express Tech-Financing and the Lenders on its Network, Express Tech-Financing may also receive information from your Lender regarding the status of your application including, but not limited to, the amount or disposition of your loan. Information specific to your Lenders use of your information will be found in your Lenders specific Privacy Policy. NOTE: You are providing express written consent for Express Tech- Financing and the selected Lender to share this private personally identifiable information for these purposes, litigation, regulatory request(s), law enforcement requests, internal analytics and/or for marketing purposes.
A. Terms Applicable To Loan Request Services
You should rely on your own judgment in deciding which available loan product, terms or Lender best suits your needs and financial means. The Lender is solely responsible for its services to you, and you agree that Express Tech-Financing 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. You understand that Lenders may keep your loan request information and any other information provided by Express Tech-Financing or received by them in the processing of your loan request, whether or not you are qualified for a loan with them or if you make a loan with them. You agree to notify any particular Lender directly if you no longer want to receive communications from them.
The Websites and the services provided by Express Tech-Financing are available in connection with non-mortgage loans unless otherwise specified. Loans may only be made to residents of states where Lenders are licensed or authorized to make such loans. Lenders are not attempting to make loans outside of their authorized states or country by participating in and offering their products on the Websites. Express Tech-Financing and Lenders expressly reserve 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.
Express Tech-Financing does not guarantee acceptance into any particular loan program or specific loan terms or conditions with itself any other Lender; loan approval standards are established and maintained solely by individual Lenders. Likewise, Express Tech-Financing does not guarantee that the loan terms or rates offered and made available by Lenders are the best terms or lowest rates available in the market. A Lender’s conditional loan offer may be subject to market conditions, approval and qualification. The rates and fees actually provided by Lenders 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. Lenders may not offer all products as well as not offer products in all states. You might not be matched with the Lender making any specific offer. To help the government fight identity theft, the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Express Tech- Financing and/or its Lenders may obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account with them. They may ask for your name, Social Security Number, address, telephone number, date of birth and other important information that will allow them to properly identify you. During the Lenders’ formal application process, they may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documentation to further assist in certifying your identity.
Express Tech-Financing is paid a marketing lead generation fee by Lenders for the goods, facilities and services provided. Your use of the Websites and/or Express Tech-Financing’s services constitutes your agreement with this compensation arrangement. At closing, you will be responsible for paying for any closing costs associated with your loan (such as loan processing, underwriting or funding fees).
By clicking on any button indicating an acceptance or agreement to terms, a continuance of processing or submission (“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 lending product through Express Tech-Financing to each of the Lenders to whom your loan request is transmitted. You are also indicating that you are consenting, acknowledging and agreeing to receive important notices, disclosures and other communications (“Disclosures and Communications”) in electronic form (either by email or via the Internet). In addition, you acknowledge that we may access your credit file even if your Social Security Number is not provided and that you have received and reviewed and, where applicable, signed the necessary required disclosures. Not all lenders will receive and/or utilize your SSN to access your credit report and/or credit score. Express Tech-Financing does not perform hard inquiries into credit, rather it does a soft inquiry to adhere to Anti-Money Laundering requirements and to assist in identification and verification of consumers as well as to prevent fraud. The information Express Tech-Financing receives from your credit report and/or credit score is not shared with Lenders, but is used by internal personnel on a need to know basis. From time-to-time Express Tech-Financing is examined by State and Federal Regulators and as such is required to maintain your Personally Identifiable Information to adhere to those requirements. Your information may also be obtained from Lenders after you are matched to adhere to state and federal reporting and record retention requirements. You authorize Express Tech-Financing and its participating Lenders to share such information as required, including for the purpose of providing you with the services for which you apply.
By submitting the loan request containing your electronic signature, you are extending an express invitation to Express Tech-Financing and each Lender you have been matched with to contact you by telephone at the numbers (whether landline or cellular) you have provided so they may assist you with your transaction, and you hereby consent to any such calls even if your phone number is on any Do Not Call list, or by email at the email address you provided or at another address that may be associated with you that we receive from Lenders or other parties and 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. In addition, you consent, acknowledge and agree that Express Tech-Financing, a lender with whom you have been matched or an associated third party may use an automatic dialing system in connection with calls made to any telephone number you entered, even if it is a cellular phone number or other service for which the called person(s) could be charged for such call. By saving your information with Express Tech- Financing or by doing a submission, you give Express Tech-Financing permission to retain all such provided information and to make live or recorded calls to discuss, provide or remind you of any information in regards to your submission, including incomplete loan requests, the delivery of loan request matches, deadlines, quality of services or other matters in connection with your loan request. For any service, you represent that all of the information you have provided in your submission and loan request is true and complete. You expressly consent to receive email and text (SMS) communications for marketing and collections purposes. You have the right to receive any document in non-electronic form and to withdraw your consent to electronic delivery at any time by contacting Express Tech-Financing Customer Service at 1-800-795-2132 or by emailing customercare@express-simple.com.
When you “submit” information, create an account or otherwise register for services through Express Tech-Financing, and its website or otherwise, you understand and agree that you have established a business relationship between you and Express Tech-Financing, which is the owner of this site. Accordingly, Express Tech-Financing may send your information to its affiliates as provided in the Privacy Policy and you agree that Express Tech-Financing may contact you using information you provided with information and offers of services available through Express Tech-Financing and the Websites. You hereby consent to any such communication or phone calls even if your phone number is on any Do Not Call list. If at any time you do not wish to continue to receive communications from Express Tech-Financing, LLC or its Companies or its affiliates communications, you may email your request to unsubscribe@express-simple.com or follow the unsubscribe process within email communication sent to you. In addition, you agree to notify Express Tech-Financing Customer Care at 1-800-795-2132 or by emailing privacy@express-simple.com directly if you no longer want to receive other forms of communications from us.
B. Express Tech-Financing Loan Request Services
The Express Tech-Financing services provide for multiple loan conditional offers through their networks of nonaffiliated Lenders. By submitting the loan request form and/or Express application, you authorize Express Tech-Financing to provide information provided by you or that Express Tech-Financing has or may receive from others, to Lenders on their networks, along with any additional Lenders or investors necessary to complete your loan transaction. You also authorize Express Tech-Financing and its Lenders along with any additional Lenders or investors necessary to complete your loan transaction, to request from one or multiple credit bureaus /reporting agencies, your credit bureau report including any ancillary credit scores or ratings and to verify that your request is true and accurate. By clicking “Continue” (or any button indicating acceptance) you are certifying that all of the information you have provided in your loan request is true, accurate and complete. At the present time, Fair Isaac Corporation (the company that provides “FICO” credit scores) reports that, for mortgage or auto loans, it disregards those inquiries made in the 30 days prior to the lender receiving the credit score and that beyond the 30 days, it consolidates all credit inquiries that occur within a 14-day period into one inquiry for scoring purposes. Some Lenders will require addition information prior to providing an offer. In these situations, the Lender(s) will contact you directly to discuss your loan request and to discuss the specific terms of your offer(s). In the GetSmart process, you may be given the option to provide your Social Security Number and/or have your credit pulled in order to improve your Lender matches. The Lenders you are matched with may later require a Social Security Number to proceed with your loan request.
To determine which Lenders may be matched with you, Lenders provide us criteria about the type of loan (for example, loan amount or credit terms) and the type of loan customer (for example, state of residence or creditworthiness) in which the Lender is interested. Express Tech- Financing will provide your information to Lenders whose criteria match your profile.
C. Additional Terms Applicable To Auto Loan Request Services
If you request an auto loan and qualify for the Dealer Referral Program, Express Tech-Financing may also provide your information with one or more of the Lenders, providers or third-party marketing companies in that program. In addition, you may be matched with one or more Lenders offering unsecured loans with which you could finance your automobile or motorcycle. As such, when you click on the submit button you are consenting, acknowledging and agreeing to a hard pull of credit by up to five lenders in relationship to your automobile loan inquiry. Please note, that you are providing Written Consent for such inquiry and that this may impact your credit score. FICO (Fair Isaac Corporation) recognizes that borrowers typically shop around, and consumers are encouraged to find the best deal that works for them and their personal financial situation. That’s why inquiries from multiple auto loan applications generally will not hurt your score for 30 days. Once a month has passed, the FICO scoring model treats multiple inquiries for one of those loan types as a single inquiry, provided the applications all took place within a relatively short window of time such as 45 days. That consolidation of inquiries helps limit the FICO score damage that would otherwise be caused by multiple credit checks, each counted individually. You may contact FICO online at http://www.fico.com/en/Pages/Contact.aspx with questions.
D. Additional Terms Applicable To Credit Card, Personal Loan And Commercial Loan Request Services
If you request a credit card, personal loan or commercial loan, Express Tech-Financing may also provide your information with one or more of the lenders or providers in that program.
Notice For California Residents:
A married consumer may request separate credit. A married consumer may include a spouse’s income even when requesting for a separate account.
Notice For Ohio Residents:
The Ohio laws against discrimination require that all creditors make credit equally available to all credit worthy customers, and that credit reporting agencies maintain separate credit histories on each individual upon request. The Ohio Civil Rights Commission administers compliance with the law.
Notice For Married Wisconsin Residents:
No provision of a marital property agreement (pre-marital agreement), a unilateral statement under Section 766.59 of the Wisconsin Statutes, or a court decree under Section 766.70 of the Wisconsin Statutes adversely affects the interest of the creditor unless, prior to the time the credit is granted, the creditor is furnished a copy of the marital property agreement, statement, or decree or has actual knowledge of the adverse provision when the obligation to the creditor is incurred. If the loan for which you are applying is granted, your spouse will also receive notification that credit has been extended to you.
3. REQUEST FOR OTHER PRODUCTS AND SERVICES (INCLUDING FINDER/LOCATOR SERVICES)
Express Tech-Financing offers requests for other products and services on the Websites. You may be able to access these products and services when you complete a request and either (i) get matched with potential third party providers (“Provider” includes any third-party affiliate or finder of a Provider) who will respond with conditional offers for products or services or (ii) get provided with the name and information about potential Providers who may able to respond with the requested products or services or information about the requested products or services without any offers. The Providers that can provide you with conditional offers may not respond with offers until they speak with you to get additional information. NOTE: You are providing express written consent for Express Tech-Financing and the selected Lender to share this private personally identifiable information for these purposes, collection, litigation, regulatory request(s), law enforcement requests, internal analytics and/or for marketing purposes.
A. Terms Applicable To All Requests For Other Products And Services
Express Tech-Financing does not make any decisions in connection with the products or services offered by Providers. Express Tech- Financing does not endorse or recommend the products or services of any particular Provider on any of its Websites. Express Tech-Financing is not an agent of either you or any Provider. You should rely on your own judgment in deciding which available product or service and Provider best suits your needs and financial means. The Provider is solely responsible for its services to you, and you agree that Express Tech- Financing 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 Provider products or services. You understand that Providers may keep your request information and any other information provided by Express Tech- Financing or received by them in the processing of your request, whether or not you are qualified for the product or service with them or if you acquire a product or service with them. You agree to notify any particular Provider directly if you no longer want to receive communications from them. Products and services may only be made to residents of states where Providers are licensed or authorized to make such products or services available. Express Tech-Financing and Providers expressly reserve the right to discontinue, suspend or terminate the offering of any product or service in any specific state through the Websites at any time, without prior notice.
The data and other information you may provide Express Tech-Financing is not, and is not treated as, an application for that product or service. Express Tech-Financing does not guarantee acceptance into any particular program or specific term or condition with any Provider; approval standards are established and maintained solely by individual Providers. Likewise, Express Tech-Financing does not guarantee that the terms or rates for the products or services offered and made available by Providers are the best terms or lowest rates available in the market. A Provider’s products or services may be subject to market conditions, approval and qualification. The terms and rates actually provided by Providers may be higher or lower depending on your individual financial profile, your location and other considerations. Unless expressly stated in writing, nothing contained herein shall constitute an offer or promise for a product or service. Providers may not offer all products or services as well as not offer products or services in all states. You may not be matched with the Provider making any specific offer. Express Tech-Financing is paid a marketing lead generation fee by either the Provider or a third party “finder” (if the finder markets for or to the Provider) for the goods, facilities and services Express Tech-Financing provided. Your use of the Websites and/or Express Tech- Financing’s services constitutes your agreement with this compensation arrangement. You will be responsible for paying for any cost associated with the product or service.
By clicking on any button indicating an acceptance or agreement to terms, a continuance of processing or submission (“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 lending product through Express Tech-Financing to each of the Lenders to whom your loan request is transmitted.

In addition, if you proceed with a Loan Application with any Express Tech-Financing Network Lenders, can provide you with the Disclosures and Communications in Electronic form. You understand that you will need, and have access to an email address, Internet access and PDF software to review the Disclosures and Communications. In addition, you acknowledge that we may access your credit file even if your Social Security Number is not provided and that you have received and reviewed and, where applicable, signed the necessary required disclosures. By submitting the request containing your electronic signature, you are extending an express invitation to each Provider to contact you by telephone at the numbers (whether landline or cellular) you have provided so they may assist you with your transaction, and you hereby consent to any such calls even if your phone number(s) are on any Do Not Call list, or by email at the email address you provided or at another address that may be associated with you that we receive from Providers or other parties and 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. In addition, you consent, acknowledge and agree that Express Tech- Financing, a lender with whom you have been matched or an associated third party may use an automatic dialing system in connection with calls made to any telephone number you entered, even if it is a cellular phone number or other service for which the called person(s) could be charged for such call. By saving your information with Express Tech-Financing or by doing a submission, you give Express Tech-Financing permission to retain all such provided information and to make live or recorded calls to discuss, provide or remind you of any information in regards to your submission, including incomplete requests, the delivery of request matches, deadlines, quality of services or other matters in connection with your request. For any product or service, you represent that all of the information you have provided in your submission and request is true and complete.

Express Tech-Financing does not operate or control in any respect any information, software, products or services available on such websites. Express Tech-Financing’s inclusion of a link to a website does not imply any endorsement of the services or the website, its contents, or its sponsoring organization.

15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the use of the Websites, to the goods or services provided by Express Tech-Financing, or to any acts or omissions for which you may contend Express Tech-Financing is liable, including but not limited to any claim or controversy as to arbitrability (“Dispute”), shall be finally, and exclusively, settled by arbitration. The arbitration shall be held before one arbitrator under the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) dated September 15, 2005. The arbitration shall be venued in consumer location reasonably convenient to the consumer. The arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the AAA rules. Should no AAA rule regarding the selection of an arbitrator be in effect, the parties shall agree on an arbitrator mutually agreeable to both parties. Should the AAA decline to accept a matter submitted for individual (non-class) arbitration under these Terms of Use, the parties shall jointly select another arbitrator. In the event the parties are unable to agree on a neutral arbitrator, the claimant may file suit in any court of competent jurisdiction solely for the purpose of requesting the appointment of an arbitrator for individual (non-class) arbitration, as provided for in Section 5 of the Federal Arbitration Act. To begin the arbitration process, a party must make a written demand therefor.
Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The agreement to arbitrate shall not be construed as an agreement to the joinder or consolidation of arbitration under this agreement with arbitration of disputes or claims of any non-party, regardless of the nature of the issues or disputes involved. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under this Agreement shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this Agreement, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise.
THIS AGREEMENT PROVIDES THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND Express Tech-Financing WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU THUS GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS. YOU ALSO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN OR BRING CLASS ACTIONS. YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE DETERMINED BY NEUTRAL ARBITRATORS AND NOT A JUDGE OR JURY. You are entitled to a fair hearing, and the arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court. Arbitrator decisions are enforceable as any court order and are subject to very limited review by a court. By using Express Tech-Financing’s goods, facilities and services, you consent to these restrictions.
Should a Dispute arise and should the arbitration provisions herein become inapplicable or unenforceable, or in any instance of any lawsuit between you and Express Tech-Financing, the parties agree that jurisdiction over and venue of any suit shall be exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in Los Angeles, California. If either party employs attorneys to enforce any right in connection with any Dispute or lawsuit, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees.

All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.
