Borrower Rates

1. The annual percentage rate which applies to your loan (the Borrower Rate) will be set out in the Loan Contract.
2. An annual percentage rate displayed on the Website for a variable rate loan is calculated using current Lending Market Order Rates and is stated as an average rate that assumes the loan is repaid over the entire indicated term. If Lending Market Order Rates in the market or markets from which a loan is funded change, or you repay part or all of your loan early, the average annual percentage rate over the term of your loan may differ from this displayed annual percentage rate.
3. If you obtain a variable rate loan, the Borrower Rate set out in your Loan Contract may change in order to, inter alia, ensure that the correct amount of interest is charged across the term of the loan. This may result in both increases and decreases in the Borrower Rate over the term of your loan.

5. Processing of Orders

1. Once an Order is matched, you will not be able to change the terms of your Order even if you had intended to withdraw your Order but failed to do so or the message to us to withdraw your Order was not received and processed by us before the Order was matched on the Platform.
2. You must inform us as soon as you become aware of any errors with respect to your Blue Loans Profile or any calculations with respect to any Orders you have placed. We reserve the right to remove from the Platform any Orders which are the subject of any error.

4. We may determine, at our absolute discretion, when the Platform is available for the posting of Orders and may suspend the Platform at any time in our absolute discretion.
5. Orders may only be created using our Platform in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. Any purported acceptance or confirmation made by means other than by completing the ‘Confirm Order’ or ‘Pre-contractual disclosure and loan contract’ screen for the relevant Order on the Website will be ineffective, unless otherwise specified by us.
