You are providing written instructions and express consent under the Fair Credit Reporting Act to Credova, the originating Merchant, other financial institutions authorized by Credova, or any of their agents or service providers, as applicable, to obtain your credit report and other information from consumer reporting agencies for the purposes (as applicable) of evaluating your prequalification request, processing your loan application, and/or administering your Account, including without limitation, when (1) you submit your request for prequalification for a financing product and (2) at their discretion, from to time thereafter, during the servicing and/or collection of any financing product you obtain.

In addition, you also expressly consent to the release of your information related to your creditworthiness and credit capacity from one or more consumer reporting agencies to Credova, the originating Merchant, other financial institutions authorized by Credova or any of their agents or service providers, as part of your credit report, and if applicable, to periodically re-validate this information prior to or during the term of your loan. You understand and acknowledge that this written authorization permits multiple “soft inquiries” for your credit report from one or more consumer reporting agencies. Soft inquiries do not impact your credit score.
7. PREQUALIFICATION AND APPLICATION AND CHECKOUT.
The financing for your purchase is provided either through (1) an unsecured retail installment sales contract or closed-end consumer lease originated by the Merchant or (2) through an unsecured installment loan originated by Credova, FDIC and NCUA insured financial institutions, or other financial institutions authorized by Credova. Your financing product will be determined by your state of residency, credit approval and your selection.
Prior to submitting an application for financing to Credova or a Merchant, you must request an initial determination of your eligibility and the terms that may be available to you (“Prequalification”). The Prequalification terms are not the final terms on which financing will be available and may change when final agreement is presented to you. At or up to thirty (30) days from the date of your Prequalification, Credova and/or a Merchant may obtain your most recent credit report in accordance with Section 6, which may result in new terms or a denial of credit terms. Your Prequalification may expire and you may be required to resubmit a Prequalification.
If Prequalification determines that you are initially eligible, you may submit an application to Credova and/or a Merchant. If you are approved, financing will be available to you through either (1) an unsecured retail installment sales contract or lease originated by the Merchant or (2) through an unsecured installment loan originated by Credova, FDIC and NCUA insured financial institution, or other financial institutions authorized by Credova. Financing products originated by a Merchant are originated under the laws of your state of residency, however for financing products originated in-store may be governed by the laws of the merchant’s state. Loans originated by Credova, FDIC and NCUA insured financial institution, or other financial institutions, will have loan proceeds paid on your behalf directly to the Merchant, minus any fees owed to Credova by the Merchant as further outlined in your loan agreement.
At Prequalification, upon submitting an application to Credova or a Merchant, or at any other time, you may be denied credit and use of the Services for any reason permitted by applicable law, including, but not limited to, your creditworthiness, suspected fraud, your history of using the Services, or your violation of any agreement with us, Credova, a Merchant, or other financial institutions authorized by Credova including these Terms. Any transaction may be held as pending, delayed for processing, or canceled at any time prior to the issuance of your financing product by Credova, the originating Merchant, or other financial institutions authorized by Credova. All retail installment sales contracts and leases are subject to final approval by Credova or the Merchant. All loans are subject to final approval and funding by Credova, FDIC and NCUA insured financial institutions, or other financial institutions authorized by Credova.
You certify that the information you have provided as part of your prequalification request and application for the Services is true and correct. You authorize Credova, the originating Merchant, or other financial institutions authorized by Credova, to verify the information you have provided, including contacting third parties to do so. You represent and certify that you intend to use the Services to finance a purchase for your personal, family, or household use only, and not for any commercial or business use. Prequalifications and approvals remain valid for 30 days.
You authorize your wireless carrier to use or disclose information about your account and your wireless device, if available, to Credova or its service provider for the duration of your business relationship, solely to help them identify you or your wireless device and to prevent fraud. See our Privacy Policy for how we treat your data.
If a financing product is issued to you by Credova, a Merchant, or other financial institution authorized by Credova,, you will have an agreement with the applicable issuer that you will agree to at checkout through the Credova API. The final agreement and disclosures have important terms that you should read prior to signing. Credova’s services do not permit you to split your payment between a financing product and another form of payment.
Depending on the Merchant through which you check out, there may be some delay in the issuance of any loan proceeds to the Merchant, or loan proceeds may be issued to the Merchant before they have fulfilled shipment of the goods to you. The terms of your financing product are set out in your agreement with Credova or the Merchant and apply regardless of the timing of Merchant fulfillment of goods or services. Therefore, interest may start accruing on your retail installment contract or loan or your payments may become due before you have received your goods or services from the Merchant, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law. You should notify the Merchant if there are any unexpected delays or issues with your order.
After a financing product has been issued to you, you also will receive a notice at the email address you provided as part of your registration that will contain instructions on how to access Credova’s Portal and/or any servicing portal, where you can view your Account information and your final agreement.
8. RELATIONSHIP WITH MERCHANTS.
Although the Credova’s Services may be used in connection with the sale of goods and services on Merchant websites, you acknowledge that Credova is acting as unaffiliated third party to the Merchant and is not responsible for any defect or warranty associated with such goods or services. Credova is not responsible for your use of the goods or services and you acknowledge and agree that you will not hold Credova liable under any theory of products liability, personal injury, or breach of warranty for your purchase from the Merchant. Likewise, Credova is not responsible for the content of or your use of Merchant websites, which are governed by the Merchants’ own terms of use and privacy policies, or the Merchant’s return and refund policy.
9. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OBTAINING A FINANCING PRODUCT.
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who obtains a financing product.
What this means for you: When you obtain a financing product, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.

6. FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT CONSENT.
You are providing written instructions and express consent under the Fair Credit Reporting Act to Credova, the originating Merchant, other financial institutions authorized by Credova, or any of their agents or service providers, as applicable, to obtain your credit report and other information from consumer reporting agencies for the purposes (as applicable) of evaluating your prequalification request, processing your loan application, and/or administering your Account, including without limitation, when (1) you submit your request for prequalification for a financing product and (2) at their discretion, from to time thereafter, during the servicing and/or collection of any financing product you obtain. If adverse action is taken on your prequalification request, loan application, or your Account, we will advise you of the name, address, and telephone number of the consumer reporting agency and you will have the right to obtain within 60 days of adverse action a free copy of the consumer credit report from the consumer reporting agency. You also have the right to dispute the accuracy or completeness of any information in the credit report furnished by the consumer reporting agency.
In addition, you also expressly consent to the release of your information related to your creditworthiness and credit capacity from one or more consumer reporting agencies to Credova, the originating Merchant, other financial institutions authorized by Credova or any of their agents or service providers, as part of your credit report, and if applicable, to periodically re-validate this information prior to or during the term of your loan. You understand and acknowledge that this written authorization permits multiple “soft inquiries” for your credit report from one or more consumer reporting agencies. Soft inquiries do not impact your credit score.
7. PREQUALIFICATION AND APPLICATION AND CHECKOUT.
The financing for your purchase is provided either through (1) an unsecured retail installment sales contract or closed-end consumer lease originated by the Merchant or (2) through an unsecured installment loan originated by Credova, FDIC and NCUA insured financial institutions, or other financial institutions authorized by Credova. Your financing product will be determined by your state of residency, credit approval and your selection.
Prior to submitting an application for financing to Credova or a Merchant, you must request an initial determination of your eligibility and the terms that may be available to you (“Prequalification”). The Prequalification terms are not the final terms on which financing will be available and may change when final agreement is presented to you. At or up to thirty (30) days from the date of your Prequalification, Credova and/or a Merchant may obtain your most recent credit report in accordance with Section 6, which may result in new terms or a denial of credit terms. Your Prequalification may expire and you may be required to resubmit a Prequalification.
If Prequalification determines that you are initially eligible, you may submit an application to Credova and/or a Merchant. If you are approved, financing will be available to you through either (1) an unsecured retail installment sales contract or lease originated by the Merchant or (2) through an unsecured installment loan originated by Credova, FDIC and NCUA insured financial institution, or other financial institutions authorized by Credova. Financing products originated by a Merchant are originated under the laws of your state of residency, however for financing products originated in-store may be governed by the laws of the merchant’s state. Loans originated by Credova, FDIC and NCUA insured financial institution, or other financial institutions, will have loan proceeds paid on your behalf directly to the Merchant, minus any fees owed to Credova by the Merchant as further outlined in your loan agreement.
At Prequalification, upon submitting an application to Credova or a Merchant, or at any other time, you may be denied credit and use of the Services for any reason permitted by applicable law, including, but not limited to, your creditworthiness, suspected fraud, your history of using the Services, or your violation of any agreement with us, Credova, a Merchant, or other financial institutions authorized by Credova including these Terms. Any transaction may be held as pending, delayed for processing, or canceled at any time prior to the issuance of your financing product by Credova, the originating Merchant, or other financial institutions authorized by Credova. All retail installment sales contracts and leases are subject to final approval by Credova or the Merchant. All loans are subject to final approval and funding by Credova, FDIC and NCUA insured financial institutions, or other financial institutions authorized by Credova.
You certify that the information you have provided as part of your prequalification request and application for the Services is true and correct. You authorize Credova, the originating Merchant, or other financial institutions authorized by Credova, to verify the information you have provided, including contacting third parties to do so. You represent and certify that you intend to use the Services to finance a purchase for your personal, family, or household use only, and not for any commercial or business use. Prequalifications and approvals remain valid for 30 days.
You authorize your wireless carrier to use or disclose information about your account and your wireless device, if available, to Credova or its service provider for the duration of your business relationship, solely to help them identify you or your wireless device and to prevent fraud. See our Privacy Policy for how we treat your data.
If a financing product is issued to you by Credova, a Merchant, or other financial institution authorized by Credova,, you will have an agreement with the applicable issuer that you will agree to at checkout through the Credova API. The final agreement and disclosures have important terms that you should read prior to signing. Credova’s services do not permit you to split your payment between a financing product and another form of payment.
Depending on the Merchant through which you check out, there may be some delay in the issuance of any loan proceeds to the Merchant, or loan proceeds may be issued to the Merchant before they have fulfilled shipment of the goods to you. The terms of your financing product are set out in your agreement with Credova or the Merchant and apply regardless of the timing of Merchant fulfillment of goods or services. Therefore, interest may start accruing on your retail installment contract or loan or your payments may become due before you have received your goods or services from the Merchant, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law. You should notify the Merchant if there are any unexpected delays or issues with your order.
After a financing product has been issued to you, you also will receive a notice at the email address you provided as part of your registration that will contain instructions on how to access Credova’s Portal and/or any servicing portal, where you can view your Account information and your final agreement.
8. RELATIONSHIP WITH MERCHANTS.
Although the Credova’s Services may be used in connection with the sale of goods and services on Merchant websites, you acknowledge that Credova is acting as unaffiliated third party to the Merchant and is not responsible for any defect or warranty associated with such goods or services. Credova is not responsible for your use of the goods or services and you acknowledge and agree that you will not hold Credova liable under any theory of products liability, personal injury, or breach of warranty for your purchase from the Merchant. Likewise, Credova is not responsible for the content of or your use of Merchant websites, which are governed by the Merchants’ own terms of use and privacy policies, or the Merchant’s return and refund policy.
9. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OBTAINING A FINANCING PRODUCT.
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who obtains a financing product.
What this means for you: When you obtain a financing product, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
