2. The Services
2.1 Generally. WisePal provides a platform that allows users to access general information about products or services that may be advantageous in reducing a user’s monthly bills ("Platform"). In order to use the Services, you must permit WisePal to access (via machine learning means) your emails in order to extract monthly bills and locate information related to your monthly bills. The Services allow you to generate a comparison (the "Comparison") of the price you pay for certain products and services with other prices available for the same or similar products or services. Based, among other things, on such Comparison, you may view through the Platform, or through certain third-party partners of WisePal ("Partners"), terms for various products or services from third-party providers ("Providers") which may be available to you and, if you are eligible and approved for the product or service, may reduce your monthly expenses. You are not required to use our Platform or Services in order to obtain any credit or other products viewable through our Platform or Services. Any product or service offered, or related transaction to which you are a party, is solely between you and the applicable Partner or Provider and is not a part of the Services.
2.2 Financial Services. Through the Services, you also have the option to use services offered by our Partners to compare quotes from Providers of credit cards, loans or other related financial services (the "Financial Services").
Although we make the Financial Services available to you, WisePal is not a lender or other financially related service provider itself. We do not we offer financial products directly nor do we act as an agent or advisor to you or any Partner or Provider. WisePal does not represent the Partners or Providers on our Platform, and we do not endorse or recommend any particular Partner(s), Provider(s), or product(s). WisePal does not accept applications, make credit decisions, or guarantee a particular result. Any Partner or Provider may require you to submit an application to them for their consideration before extending an offer of credit. Any product or service offered or related transaction to which you are a party is solely transacted between you and the applicable Partner or Provider and is not a part of the Services. Partners and Providers are solely responsible for any services they may provide to you.
WisePal does not issue loan approvals, loan commitments, or make any guarantees on behalf of any Partner or Provider and all rates, fees, and terms are presented without guarantee. Rates, fees, and terms are presented without guarantee and are subject to change pursuant to each Partner’s or Provider’s discretion and may not be available in all states or for all types of financial products. You may receive loan offers that vary in amount from what you requested. Partners’ and Providers’ privacy policies and/or security practices may also differ from WisePal’s.
The Financial Services do not include, and we do not connect you with, every financial institution, financial services provider, or lending offer that may be available to you, so other institutions, providers, or financial products not listed on our Platform may be available to you, subject to different terms and conditions, including lower rates. We cannot guarantee the lowest price or best terms available in the market. Your personal financial situation is unique, and it is your responsibility to evaluate the information and content provided, before making any financial decisions.
We do not guarantee you will be approved or qualify for advertised rates, fees, or terms presented. We do not guarantee acceptance into any particular program or specific terms or conditions with any Partner or Provider. Approval standards are established and maintained solely by an applicable Partner or Provider.
2.3 Non-Discrimination. We support the principles of the federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act (the "ECOA"). We do not engage in business practices that discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age (provided the applicant has the capacity to contract), the fact that all or part of the applicant's income derives from a public assistance program, or the fact that the applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act. Similarly, we are committed to compliance with any applicable state and local anti-discrimination laws.
