Principal Finance Terms and Conditions

  1. Advance: If we accept your loan application, we will advance the loan to you by way of paying it, at our complete discretion, either to the insurance broker or intermediary named in the loan application (“intermediary”), or to the insurer(s) (“insurer”) under the policy or policies specified in the loan application or in any attached list (“policy or policies”), or to an agent or representative of the insurer. You irrevocably direct and authorise us to so advance the loan on your behalf, in complete discharge of our obligation to pay the loan funds to you. You acknowledge that the sole and mandatory purpose of the loan is for it to fund the premium(s) under the policies, by way of a single upfront payment of such premiums, and that the intermediary and insurer are not our agents and that we will have no liability for their acts or omissions. We may pay commission for persons to introduce your credit business to us.
  2. Payments: You must make the combined interest and principal repayments referred to in the loan application as set out in the loan application. Interest is payable by you on the loan at the interest rate given, and by way of such combined interest and principal repayments. Time is of the essence in respect of payment obligations. If the law permits you to terminate this contract early, you may, but you must pay us an early termination fee of $40.00 in addition to other allowable amounts. If this contract is terminated early, with our prior written consent or in accordance with your legal rights or by us pursuant to clause 5, then all amounts advanced by us under this contract in accordance with clause 1 or otherwise are to be immediately repaid to us and you will continue to be liable to us for such amounts and interest on such amounts until such amounts and interest are recovered in full.
