You agree to keep the User ID secure and will not allow any third party access to it or to the Platform or Website through your User Account. You may contact SourceFunding.org to cancel your User Account at any time and, if you so cancel, you will lose all details therein and use of the Services. By opening your User Account, you authorize us to collect information about you, including information from third parties such as credit reporting agencies and information about your transactions with Partners. You authorize us to share such information about you or your account with Partners.

Term and Termination

SourceFunding.org may in its sole discretion disable your User Account at anytime and without note and, if so, you will lose access to all details therein and use of the Services.

Campaign Agreements

SourceFunding.org uses a tech-enabled process to match Clients with Partners using documents and information provided by Clients to us including but not limited to business name and address, amount and intended purpose of funding sought, certain financial information and documents regarding the business, and certain information and documents regarding your business owner (the “Application Information”). You agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete Application Information. By providing the Application Information to SourceFunding.org, you authorize us to obtain information, including from third-party sources, to allow you to complete and verify certain fields of your Application Information. SourceFunding.org reserves the right to obtain this information at any time during your use of the Platform until either you or SourceFunding.org terminate its rights under the Terms. If any of the Application Information does not match information SourceFunding.org obtains from third-party sources pursuant to the Terms, you may elect to modify any of the Application Information. You also agree that SourceFunding.org may contact you, including by telephone or by email, to verify the Application Information, to request additional Application Information, and to provide assistance.

If your Application Information matches with a Partner, we may identify the existence of such Partner or Partners to you (each one, a “Matched Partner”), along with general non-identifying data regarding each Matched Partner. We may limit the number of Matched Partners we identify to you based on our determination of which Partners may be the best match for you based on our analysis of the Application Information. You may instruct us to specifically identify the Matched Partners by name and/or identify you to one or more Matched Partners, in which case we will identify you to such Matched Partner and furnish them with your Application Information and a completed financing application on your behalf (each such identification, a “Campaign”). Campaigns are subject to a separate Secure Application Service Agreement that will be provided to you prior to us initiating a Campaign. You acknowledge and agree that SourceFunding.org provides the Application Information to the Matched Partner on your behalf once a Campaign is initiated and that an initiated Campaign does not guarantee that you will receive funding from any Matched Partner.

Once we initiate a Campaign to any Matched Partner, the Matched Partner will begin its underwriting process based on the Application Information and will determine, according to its own terms and conditions, whether to provide funding to you. You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for selecting each Campaign to a Matched Partner. Furthermore, you acknowledge and agree that in the event that a Campaign is successful and you are approved for financing by a Matched Partner, you will determine whether or not to enter into a separate agreement with the Matched Partner upon such legal terms and conditions as they agree (“Campaign Agreement”).

Each of the parties to a Campaign Agreement are independent from SourceFunding.org. SOURCEFUNDING.ORG MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE INDIVIDUAL PARTIES, THEIR EXPERIENCE, QUALITY OF SERVICES, INSURANCE STATUS, OR LEGITIMACY. FOR CAMPAIGN AGREEMENTS WE OPERATE ONLY AS AN MATCHMAKING INTERMEDIARY BETWEEN THE PARTIES, ALLOWING THEM TO CONTACT EACH OTHER AND COLLECTING A FEE FOR OUR SERVICES. Parties’ interactions with each other and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between those parties. Each party must make whatever investigation it feels necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any interaction or Campaign Agreement. SourceFunding.org shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings.

If you enter into any Campaign Agreement with any Matched Partner, you agree that you must notify us within five (5) days of the date thereof. You also grant us unrestricted authorization at any time during, and any time after, the Term to confirm directly with any Matched Partner(s) the existence of any Campaign Agreement. Upon closing of such effective Campaign Agreement, you authorize us to collect the fee for same from the Matched Partner as follows: the amount of any funds approved by a Matched Partner pursuant to a Campaign Agreement (a “Campaign Fund”) shall be inclusive of a seven percent (7%) fee, with such fee being paid to SourceFunding.org directly by the Matched Partner simultaneously with transfer of the Campaign Fund from the Matched Partner to the Client, and with such fee being part of the Campaign Fund for which Client is responsible to Matched Partner under the respective Campaign Agreement. In no event shall Client be permitted, for five years from the later of (i) a Matched Partner being identified to Client by SourceFunding.org or (ii) termination or expiration of any Campaign Agreement between Client and Matched Partner, to contract with each other or any affiliates thereof without applicable fees to SourceFunding.org being paid therefor. You understand and agree that your failure to notify SourceFunding.org of any Campaign Agreement(s) with any Matched Partner(s) in the notification period agreed upon herein amounts to a theft of our Services and will result in an additional and non-negotiable fee of ten percent (10%) of the funding total of each applicable Campaign Fund paid directly by you to us and due upon notification by us to you.
