Terms and Conditions of Use
Effective date: 3/3/2020
These Terms and Conditions of Use represent a formal agreement between PaydaySeek.com (“PaydaySeek”, “us”, “we”, “our” or “ours”) and a user (“user”, “users”, “you”, “your”, or “yours”) of the PaydaySeek company website at https://paydayseek.com (“the Website”) who attempts to continue accessing the Website and using PaydaySeek’s services. These Terms and Conditions delineate the rules regarding this agreement.
PaydaySeek is not a lender, does not offer financial products and services, nor does it have any authority over credit decisions. PaydaySeek does not represent any bank, credit union, or other financial organization. We offer matching services with a network of third-party lenders (“Lenders”) that can provide financial products and services such as loans. To connect a user with Lenders, we must first receive that user’s registration form, accessible via the Website.
Please read this entire document and other legal documents on the Website in order to better understand how our services work, how to use our services, and what happens when you submit personal information to us. When you submit a registration form, it is a legally-binding agreement that you have read and understood these documents, including these Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy, and that you request to use our services.
Only residents of the United States of America (“USA”) who are 18 years of age or older may access the Website and use our services. Our services are not available to residents in some states due to laws and regulations regarding short-term cash loans. Such states may include, Georgia, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia as well as others; this list is subject to changes by lawmakers, so please check the legal status of these loans in your own state on our Rates and Fees page, which includes resources and information about short-term loans, the industry, and common practices.
To indicate your rejection of these Terms and Conditions, please exit all pages of the Website in your browser and do not attempt to provide us with any personal information.
Company Services
Because PaydaySeek is not a lender or other such financial entity, we have no control over decisions about loans or credit. Our service is to connect users with Lenders who operate independently from PaydaySeek and who can offer users financial products and services. Lenders may offer users short-term loans with term limits that vary from state to state. Some Lenders may have loans of up to $1,000 available.
PaydaySeek has no control over distribution of any loans, nor do we have any to do with credit decisions. Lenders make their own decisions regarding credit. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that our service will result in approval, nor that you will qualify to match with any lender. Lenders may have up to $1,000 available, but not every Lender does.
Any user who has questions, concerns, or doubts about short-term lending or a specific short-term loan offer should seek professional consultation and support. Please note that short-term loans are designed for short-term use in the event of financial emergencies. Long-term use of this loan system can become expensive quickly. It is up to the user to access and manage these loans responsibly.
Because we have no control over the terms of any loan or credit product, we cannot take responsibility for any information or decisions that relate to any specific loan or credit product.
Your continued use of the Website serves as confirmation that you accept these Terms and Conditions and other legal documents that regulate the Website. You also acknowledge that PaydaySeek has no control over, and therefore can bear no responsibility for, any damages or costs that result from your association, communication, or cooperation with any Lender.
You must register with us using the online form on the Website prior to using our services. This requires you to submit personal information, including contact, employment, finances, and other sensitive information that may include a social security number (“SSN”) and banking information. This is the information we use to provide you with our service, searching for and matching you with Lenders. This also requires us to share the information you give us with these Lenders. Do not provide us with any information that you do not want us to collect, store, use, and share.
We collect, store, use, and share information according to policies documented on the Website, including the Privacy Policy, Responsible Lending Policies, and Marketing Practices. Your voluntary submission of your own information legally serves as confirmation that you have read and understood these and all other documents delineating our standards and practices, including these Terms and Conditions of Use. Your voluntary submission of your own information also serves as a request that we use your information and share it with Lenders in order to match you with one or more Lenders; you agree that this gives Lenders authorization to contact you using the contact information provided by you in our online registration form, which may include your email address, telephone number, and direct mailing address. This contact may include offers for financial products and services in which you express your interest when you register with the Website.
Your SSN and banking details are sensitive personal information, which we protect using strict security and management protocols. We may share some of your less-sensitive personal information with third-party marketers with whom we have contracts (“Marketers”). Lenders may also share less-sensitive information with other third-party marketers with whom they have contracts; these other third party marketers may contact you with more financial products and services in which you may have expressed interest.
PaydaySeek is not a lender and will never use your information to perform any type of credit check or other verification. Lenders, however, may require credit verification and may use your information to perform a credit check prior to approving you for any type of financial offer. Approval decisions are up to Lenders. We cannot guarantee approval, nor that individual Lenders will offer all the products matching your wants or needs. Furthermore, we have no information or authority regarding any financial products or services, nor any agreements or contracts regarding such. To access details about a particular transaction, contact the Lender directly.
