Scope of Consent.
This E-Consent applies to all interactions online concerning you and the third party lender and includes those interactions engaged in on any mobile device, including phones, smart-phones, and tablets. By exercising this E-Consent, the third party lender may process your information and interact during all online interactions with you electronically. The lender may also send you notices electronically related to its interactions and transactions. Disclosures may be provided online at our or third party lenders' websites, and may be provided by e-mail.

You may send any questions regarding the hardware and software requirements directly to the third party lenders.
Withdrawing Consent.
Your E-Consent for our matching service and for our third party lenders' consideration of your matching request cannot be withdrawn because it is a one-time transaction. If you are matched with one or more third party lenders, you are free to withdraw your E-Consent with those third party lenders at any time and at no charge. However, if you withdraw this E-Consent before receiving credit, you may be prevented from obtaining credit from the lender. Contact the third party lender directly if you wish to withdraw this E-Consent.
