Welcome to Loan Arena. Please read these Terms and Conditions ("Terms") carefully before using our website, www.loan-arena.co.uk ("Website"). These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you", or "your") and LOANARENA LIMITED ("we", "us", "our", or "Loan Arena"). By accessing or using this Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately cease using the Website.

Important Information: LOANARENA LIMITED is a credit broker and not a lender. We do not make credit decisions, offer loans directly, or act as an agent for any specific lender. All loans are subject to status, credit checks, and affordability assessments by the respective lenders. Services are available to UK residents aged 18 or over only.

1. Intellectual Property Rights

All content, design, text, graphics, logos, images, software, and source code on this Website are the intellectual property of LOANARENA LIMITED or our licensors. These works are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws in the United Kingdom and internationally.

You are granted a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to view and download elements of the Website solely for personal, non-commercial use in connection with submitting a credit broker inquiry. You must not copy, reproduce, republish, redistribute, modify, or sell any content from this Website without our prior written consent.

2. Eligibility & Website Use

To submit an application or use our service, you must satisfy the following criteria:

Any attempt to submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information is strictly prohibited and may result in the immediate termination of your access to our services, as well as potential referral to relevant fraud prevention databases and UK law enforcement.

• You must be at least 18 years of age.
• You must be a permanent resident of the United Kingdom.
• You must provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date personal and financial information on all submission forms.

3. Our Credit Brokerage Service

We operate as an independent intermediary matching platform. Our goal is to securely route your loan inquiry to our panel of over 30 UK lenders and broker partners to help you secure a competitive APR quote.

• Soft Searches: To provide this matching service, our partners will perform preliminary soft credit checks. These checks do not affect your credit rating and are not visible to other prospective lenders.
• Hard Searches: If you choose to progress your match into a formal application on a partner's platform, that partner will execute a hard credit search, which can affect your overall credit score.
• Broker Decisions: We do not guarantee that any matching lender will approve your loan request, nor do we guarantee that any rate offered represents the lowest possible rate on the wider market. The final APR is determined entirely by the individual lender based on your specific financial circumstances.
• Secondary Introductions: If we are unable to identify a traditional loan match, we may with your permission direct you to alternative service providers (such as credit-builder services or debt advice). Please note that some alternative tools may charge a separate monthly fee if you choose to utilize them.
