Terms of Service
Effective Date: July 26, 2025
Welcome to YourLocalLoan.com ("Site"). These Terms of Service ("Terms," "Agreement") govern your use of the website operated by YourLocalLoan ("we," "us," or "our"). By using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please exit the Site immediately.
1. Nature of Our Services
YourLocalLoan is not a lender, broker, or financial institution. We do not originate loans, make credit decisions, or issue credit. We operate as a lead generation and affiliate marketing platform that connects consumers with third-party lenders or financial service providers ("Partners").
We do not guarantee that you will be matched with a lender, receive a loan offer, or be approved for a loan. Any loan products are offered solely by the third-party lenders or Partners, subject to their terms and conditions.
2. Eligibility Requirements
To use this Site, you must:
- Be at least 18 years old or the age of majority in your state
- Be a legal resident of the United States
- Submit truthful, complete, and accurate information
- Use the Site for personal, non-commercial purposes only
3. Loan Request and Data Sharing
By submitting a loan inquiry through the Site, you authorize YourLocalLoan and its third-party Partners to collect, process, and share your personal and financial information. This may include:
- Identifiers such as your name, contact information, and IP address
- Financial data like income, employment, and banking details
- Use of your data to determine potential eligibility for loan offers
- Communication with you via email, phone, SMS, or automated/pre-recorded calls
You grant express written consent under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), CAN-SPAM Act, and other applicable laws. Consent is not a condition of purchase. You may revoke consent by opting out via provided mechanisms.
We use a ping tree model in which your loan inquiry may be submitted to multiple lenders, and the lender offering the highest bid may be presented to you.
4. No Guarantees or Endorsements
We do not:
- Guarantee that you will be matched with a lender
- Guarantee that you will receive an offer or be approved
- Endorse or recommend any specific lender or financial product
- Control the terms, fees, interest rates, or decisions of third-party lenders
Lenders may conduct credit checks through national credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, TransUnion) or alternative credit reporting agencies.
5. Third-Party Services and Websites
This Site may link to or redirect you to third-party websites. These sites operate independently and have their own privacy policies and terms of use. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, legality, or availability of third-party services. Your dealings with such parties are solely between you and them.
6. Intellectual Property
All content on the Site, including but not limited to logos, text, images, and graphics, are owned by or licensed to YourLocalLoan. You may not copy, reproduce, or distribute any material without prior written consent.

8. Session Recordation and Compliance Tools
We may use technologies such as Jornaya LeadiD and ActiveProspect TrustedForm to record user activity for compliance, verification, analytics, and fraud prevention purposes.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties
This Site is provided "as is" and "as available." We do not warrant that the Site will be error-free or uninterrupted. We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

12. State Restrictions and Tribal Lending
Some lenders may not operate in all U.S. states due to state regulations. YourLocalLoan does not operate in states where such services are prohibited. Some Partners may be Tribal Lending Entities, subject to tribal rather than state law. Review all loan terms carefully before proceeding.
13. Late Payments and Credit Reporting
Late or missed payments may result in additional fees and damage to your credit score. Always review repayment terms before accepting a loan.
14. Changes to These Terms
We may modify these Terms at any time. Updates will be posted on this page. Your continued use of the Site constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
