4. SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED FOR YOU BY SOURCEFUNDING.ORG

4.1 The Secure Application Service.
This Agreement applies to the following service (the “Secure Application Service”), which SourceFunding.org will perform upon your request: Identifying you to lenders and other sources of funding (each one, a “Partner”; once matched, a “Matched Partner”) and furnishing Matched Partner(s) with information and documents submitted by you to SourceFunding.org, including but not limited to, your business name and address, amount and intended purpose of funding sought, certain financial information and documents regarding the business, and certain information and documents regarding your business owner (the “Application Information”). You may also be asked to provide tax returns or to sync SourceFunding.org to your bank’s transactional data (the “Verified Data”). If any of the Application Information you provide is inconsistent with information derived from Verified Data, we will automatically substitute the inconsistent Application Information with information from Verified Data. Each identification of you to a Matched Partner constitutes a “Referral”.

5. SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED FOR YOU BY MATCHED PARTNER.

Once SourceFunding.org makes a Referral to any Matched Partner, the Matched Partner will initiate its underwriting process based on the Application Information and will determine, according to its own terms and conditions, whether to provide funding to you. If a Matched Partner chooses to provide funding to you, the Matched Partner will provide you with detailed information about your funding options, including loan amounts, interest rates, points, fees and other terms. SourceFunding.org is an information technology platform and has no role in a Matched Partner’s decision to provide or not provide funding to you or the terms and conditions under which the Matched Partner chooses to offer you a loan.

6. YOUR USE OF THE SECURE APPLICATION SERVICE.

Use of the Secure Application Service in Accordance with this Agreement, the Terms of Use and associated terms and conditions and Applicable Law. You will not use the Secure Application Service for any illegal purpose. You will only use the Secure Application Service in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any Applicable Law.

6.2 Business Purpose.
You will only use the Secure Application Service for business purposes. You will not use the Secure Application Service for personal, family or household purposes. You may not use the Secure Application Service to obtain information about or make decisions about anyone but yourself and/or your business, or on behalf of a business which has provided documented authorization or consent.

6.3 Acknowledgements and Agreements.
(a) You agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete Application Information at all times.
(b) You agree to allow SourceFunding.org to automatically substitute Application Information that is inconsistent with Verified Data.
(c) You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for maintaining your Application Information. If you believe that your Application Information or a device that you use to access any Site has been lost or stolen, that someone is using the Service using your Application Information without your authorization, or that an unauthorized transaction has occurred, you must notify us immediately at support@sourcefunding.org.
(d) You acknowledge and agree that a Referral does not guarantee that you will receive funding from any Matched Partner.
(e) You acknowledge and agree that the Funding Terms may differ from the terms and conditions that apply to funding you ultimately receive from a Matched Partner.
(f) You acknowledge and agree that SourceFunding.org has no role in a Matched Partner’s decision to provide or not provide funding to you, and that SourceFunding.org provides the Application Information to the Matched Partner on your behalf.

7. FEES

If you enter into any Campaign Agreement with any Matched Partner, you agree that you must notify us within five (5) days of the date thereof. You also grant us unrestricted authorization at any time during, and any time after, the Term to confirm directly with any Matched Partner(s) the existence of any Campaign Agreement. Upon closing of such effective Campaign Agreement, you authorize us to collect the fee for same from the Matched Partner as follows: the amount of any funds approved by a Matched Partner pursuant to a Campaign Agreement (a “Campaign Fund”) shall be inclusive of a seven percent (7%) fee, with such fee being paid to SourceFunding.org directly by the Matched Partner simultaneously with transfer of the Campaign Fund from the Matched Partner to the Client, and with such fee being part of the Campaign Fund for which Client is responsible to Matched Partner under the respective Campaign Agreement. In no event shall Client be permitted, for five years from the later of (i) a Matched Partner being identified to Client by SourceFunding.org or (ii) termination or expiration of any Campaign Agreement between Client and Matched Partner, to contract with each other or any affiliates thereof without applicable fees to SourceFunding.org being paid therefor. You understand and agree that your failure to notify SourceFunding.org of any Campaign Agreement(s) with any Matched Partner(s) in the notification period agreed upon herein amounts to a theft of our Services and will result in an additional and non-negotiable fee of ten percent (10%) of the funding total of each applicable Campaign Fund paid directly by you to us and due upon notification by us to you.

8. ADDITIONAL TERMS SPECIFIC TO SBA GUARANTEED LOANS

8.1 Fee Information.
If Client meets the pre-qualification criteria for Small Business Administration (“SBA”)-guaranteed
financing, client can instruct SourceFunding.org to prepare Client’s loan application in a manner that streamlines the application process and organizes Client’s information in a way that a lender can more accurately and quickly underwrite it. The service of preparing the Client’s loan application for SBA guaranteed financing is called Packaging. When the Client asks the SourceFunding.org team to prepare Client’s loan application, then we become the Packaging Agent for Client. Because Client is required to pay the SBA Packaging Fee to SourceFunding.org even if Client’s loan is not ultimately funded, we will engage in extensive prequalification of Client’s business and use commercially reasonable efforts to only package a loan application for an Client if we believe, based on the information Client has provided to us, that Client’s business is eligible to receive the loan for which we help it apply. It remains Client’s responsibility to ensure that the information Client provides to us about Client’s business is not contradicted by documents, such as, but not limited to, tax returns, that lenders with whom we work may request when reviewing Client’s application. Our Packaging Fee, paid in relation to applications for SBA guaranteed financing in lieu of our standard 7% fee outlined in section seven (7) of this Agreement, will be less than or equal to two percent (2%) of the amount of the loan amount applied for by Client. If Client’s loan is approved, you agree to allow the Matched Partner to directly pay us the SBA Packaging Fee from Client’s loan proceeds. Please note that the Small Business Act does not require the use of an agent for referral or packaging services to apply for SBA guaranteed financing.

8.2 SBA Loans For More Than $25,000.
If you apply for SBA guaranteed financing of more than $25,000, please note that the Matched Partner will require a lien on business assets, including assets such as accounts receivable or inventory, as well as fixed assets such as new equipment purchased with loan proceeds, and commercial real estate owned by the business. The Matched Partner may require additional collateral as well.

9. INDEMNIFICATION.

You agree to release, indemnify, and hold harmless SourceFunding.org and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way related to: (a) your access to, use of, or inability to use the Secure Application Service; (b) your breach of this Agreement; (c) your violation of any rights of a third party; (d) your interaction with any Funding Provider; (e) any duties, responsibilities, or obligations you may have to a Matched Partner, including with respect to, but not limited to, a Referral; (f) your violation of any Applicable Law; (g) the violation of any Applicable Law by a Matched Partner; or (h) your failure to provide and maintain true, accurate, current and complete Application Information, User Account, Verified Data, and Account Information.
