2. Nature of Our Services
Austop Lending Pty Ltd provides lending and financial services, including assistance with loan enquiries, comparisons of available options, and referrals to suitable lending products where appropriate. The information published on this website is general in nature and is provided for informational purposes only.
Nothing on this website constitutes personal financial advice, credit assistance, taxation advice or legal advice. We do not take your objectives, financial situation or needs into account when publishing general content on this website. Before acting on any information contained on this website, you should consider whether it is appropriate for your circumstances and, where appropriate, seek independent professional advice.
3. Enquiries and Quotes
When you submit an enquiry or quote request through this website, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate, complete and not misleading. Submission of an enquiry does not create any obligation on us to provide you with a loan, and does not create any agreement between you and us.
Any indicative quote or estimate provided in response to an enquiry is subject to confirmation, assessment and the requirements of any relevant lender. Final terms, rates, fees and conditions will be set out in formal documentation issued before any facility is entered into, and may differ from any indicative figures provided earlier.
4. Eligibility
Our services are available to Australian residents aged 18 years or over. By using this website and submitting an enquiry, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age and are legally capable of entering into binding contracts under Australian law.
5. Responsible Lending
We are committed to responsible lending practices. Where credit assistance or credit activities are involved, we will comply with our obligations under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009 (Cth) and associated regulations. Any loan approval is subject to assessment of your suitability and capacity to repay, and approval is never guaranteed.
6. Fees and Costs
Where fees apply to any of our services, they will be disclosed to you in writing before you incur them. We will not charge you any fee that has not been previously disclosed and agreed. Third-party lenders may charge their own fees, interest and charges, which will be disclosed in the lender’s documentation.
7. Australian Consumer Law
Nothing in these Terms of Service excludes, restricts or modifies any rights that you may have under the Australian Consumer Law set out in Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), or any other rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. For services of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use, you are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the services remedied if they fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, and subject always to section 7 above, Austop Lending Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of this website or reliance on information published on it, including indirect or consequential loss.
