By asking us to quote for and arrange a finance application, you are providing your informed agreement to this Information Notice (IDD). We draw your particular attention to the section headed ‘The processing of your personal data’, specifically the sub-section headed ‘Credit checks’.
As we are a credit broker we have commercial relationships with the lenders, our advice is not impartial, but we will make introductions in line with your needs, subject to your circumstances. If you wish to obtain impartial advice on the full range of potential finance options that may be available to you, you will need to make your own arrangements but are free to do so as part of the purchase of your motorbike. No fees will be charged to you for our service. However, if you decide to proceed with the proposed finance agreement, we will receive a commission from the finance provider for arranging the finance. If you have been introduced to us via a dealer who is providing you with your motorbike, part of this commission we receive may be passed on to this dealer. The commission we receive may be a fixed fee, or a percentage of the amount borrowed, and you will be informed of this amount before finalising the finance agreement. While different finance providers may offer varying commission rates, the commission we receive will not affect the amount you repay under the credit agreement.
For your own benefit and protection, you should read these terms carefully. If you are unsure about any aspect of our Terms of Business or have any questions regarding our relationship with you, please contact us.

If you fail to disclose information or misrepresent any fact which may influence the finance provider’s decision to provide finance, this could invalidate the credit agreement and mean that the finance may not be provided.
