By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms, including the binding arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in Section 13. If you disagree with any part of the Terms, you may not access the Service.

1. Service Description

taketheloan.com is a loan connecting service that facilitates connections between potential borrowers and third-party lenders. We do not directly provide loans, make credit decisions, or influence the lending terms offered by the lenders in our network.

Our Service is designed to collect and transmit your information to our network of lenders who may provide loan offers based on the information you submit. By using our Service, you authorize us to share your information with our network of lenders and other financial service providers.

2. Eligibility Requirements

• At least 18 years of age
• A legal U.S. resident

• Understand that lenders may perform credit checks and access your credit report
• Acknowledge that we do not guarantee approval for any loan product
• Understand that we do not control the terms, rates, or approval criteria used by lenders
• Agree that any loan agreement is between you and the lender, not with taketheloan.com

5. Third-Party Lenders

Our Service connects you with third-party lenders. We are not responsible for:

• The actions or omissions of any lender
• The terms of any loan offer
• The content of any lender's website
• Any disputes between you and a lender
• The lender's compliance with applicable laws and regulations

We encourage you to carefully review all loan terms provided by any lender and to understand your obligations under any loan agreement before accepting a loan offer.

6. Fees, Charges & Compensation Disclosure

Our loan connecting service is provided free of charge to users. However, lenders may charge various fees and interest in connection with their loan products. These may include:

• Interest charges
• Origination fees
• Application fees
• Late payment fees
• Processing fees
• Other charges as disclosed in the loan agreement

We are not responsible for any fees charged by lenders. All fees and charges will be disclosed by the lender in your loan agreement.

Compensation Disclosure: taketheloan.com may receive compensation from lenders or other third parties when users are matched with a lender or accept a loan offer. This compensation does not increase the cost of any loan to you and does not influence which lenders we display in our network. Lender selection is based on your eligibility profile and the lender's underwriting criteria — not on the amount of compensation we may receive.

12. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any legal action or proceeding arising under these Terms that is not subject to arbitration under Section 13 shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware, and you irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts.

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights.

13. Binding Arbitration & Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, or your relationship with taketheloan.com (including the validity, interpretation, breach, or enforceability of these Terms) shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration shall take place in the State of Delaware, or, at your election, in the county where you reside. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding.

Class Action Waiver: You and taketheloan.com 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, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.

30-Day Opt-Out: You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to legal@taketheloan.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your full name, mailing address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out.

Exceptions: Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. Either party may seek injunctive relief in court for intellectual property infringement.

14. Telephone & SMS Communications Consent (TCPA)

By providing your telephone number to taketheloan.com or our network of lenders, you expressly consent to receive calls and text messages — including those made or sent using an automatic telephone dialing system, an artificial or prerecorded voice, or SMS/MMS — from us, our network lenders, and our service providers, at the telephone number(s) you provide. Such communications may include loan offers, application status updates, account servicing, marketing, and customer support messages.

Consent is not a condition of any purchase or loan. Standard message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies. You may revoke consent at any time by replying STOP to any text message, by calling the sender, or by emailing legal@taketheloan.com. For help, reply HELP. Revoking consent will not affect any loan agreement already in place between you and a lender.

15. Severability & Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and the invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving the parties' original intent.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and Responsible Lending disclosure, constitute the entire agreement between you and taketheloan.com regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements, communications, and understandings, whether written or oral.

16. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of any significant changes by posting the new Terms on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date above.
