General Terms

 

If any part of these Terms and Conditions are found to be illegal, the term that is found to be illegal will be removed without effecting the other terms which will continue in full force and effect. Each of the paragraphs of these terms and conditions operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

 

Even if we delay in enforcing these Terms and Conditions, we can still enforce same later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms and Conditions, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking these Terms and Conditions, that will not mean that you are no longer subject to these terms and conditions and it will not prevent us taking steps to secure our rights at a later date. For example, in the event you fail to make payment and we do not send you notice of missed payment but we continue to provide the services, we reserve the right to invoice you for a missed payment and require you to make the payment at a later date.

These Terms and Conditions are governed by The laws of England and Wales and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the courts of England and Wales. The Website is owned by Smartmove Estates Limited a company incorporated in England.

USE OF YOUR INFORMATION

In this clause, references to “We” or “us” include the Finance Provider and any intermediary used.

Fraud and credit checks and verifying your identity

Fraud prevention checks:

 

  1. We will verify the personal information you provide to us with fraud prevention agencies before we agree to allow you to proceed with the Pay Later option under these terms and conditions. If false or inaccurate information is provided, or if fraud is identified, details may be passed to fraud prevention agencies. Law enforcement agencies may access and use this information. We, and other organisation, may also use and access this information to prevent crime, including fraud and money laundering, for example, when checking details on applications for credit and credit related or other facilities; managing credit and credit related accounts or facilities and recovering debt.

  2. We may access and use from other countries the information recorded by fraud prevention agencies in addition to accessing and using the information recorded by the Finland's fraud prevention agencies. These organisations may be in countries outside the European Economic Area.

 

 

 

Identity checks

To protect you and us from financial crime, we may be required to verify the identity of our customers. We may do this by either using reference agencies to search sources of information relating to you (an identity search) or relying on the Estate Agent to verify your identity and your residential address. This will not affect your credit rating. If this fails, we may need to approach you to obtain documentary evidence of identity.

Credit reference checks

We will conduct a full credit check using credit reference checking services before we agree to allow you to take our pay later package. We may do this for example if this is necessary for compliance with applicable laws or regulatory rules.

General

 

We may use credit reference agencies (CRAs), including their records, to obtain information on you, including on your credit history and in order to ascertain risks related to the Pay Later option we provide. When CRAs receive a search from us, they will conduct a full credit check on your credit file that may be seen by other lenders and other companies unrelated to us (for example, other CRA customers). These search footprints, personal information and (possibly) account performance data may be used by other lenders and CRA customers. The CRAs may add the details of our search and information we hold about you to their records relating to you.

Credit searches and other information about you which is provided by us to the CRAs may be used and disclosed by CRAs to other companies unrelated to us for the purposes mentioned above and to enable those other companies to trace your whereabouts, recover debts that you owe and verify your identity. Records remain on file at the CRAs for 6 years after they are closed, whether settled by you or defaulted. CRAs may also use the information referred to in this regard for the purpose of statistical analysis about credit ratings.

We may access and use from other countries the information recorded by CRAs, in addition to accessing and using the information recorded by the UK’s CRAs. These organisations may be in countries outside the European Economic Area.

If you tell us that you have a spouse or financial associate with whom you have a personal relationship that creates a joint financial unit in a similar way to a married couple (for example if you have been living at the same address at same the time) we may:

 

  1. search, link and/or record information at CRAs about you both;

  2. link any individual identified as your financial associate, in our own records;

  3. take both your and their information into account in future applications by either or both of you; and

  4. continue this linking until for example one of you notifies us that you are no longer linked.

When CRAs receive a search from us they will link together the records of you and your spouse or financial associate. Links between all such persons will remain on your files and their files until such time as you or the other relevant person successfully files for a disassociation with the CRAs. If your circumstances change such that you are no longer a financial unit with another person you should contact the CRAs about this.

You can contact the CRAs currently operating in Finland to find out what information they hold about you. The information they hold may not be the same so you may wish to contact more than one. They may entitled charge you a small statutory fee.
