Changes to these Terms of services
We may amend any part of these Terms by adding, deleting, or varying their content. These amendments as it may be made required from time-to-time at our discretion.
The notice of the proposed amendment shall be placed by posting an amended version of these Terms of services with a new version number. We will include a link to the previous version of the terms beneath the new version number. The amendments will take effect 30 days after the date on which the amended version is posted. Prior to that date, the previous version of the Terms will continue to apply.
If you disagree with any amendments, you may terminate these Terms by ceasing to use the Services at any time within the 30-day notice period. The termination of these Terms pursuant to the previous paragraph will not affect any contracts that you have concluded with third-party financial institutions, nor will it affect any other contract you have concluded with HVR Financial Inc.
HVR Financial Inc involvement in Providing Services and in Related Transactions
To get the most out of the Services, it is important to understand our position in providing to you the Services.
When we provide information about mortgages to you the consumer, including approval criteria and interest rates, we are acting as an information organizer and aggregator. We do not directly generate any of the information, instead the information is provided to us by third parties (generally financial institutions and Mortgage Investment Corporations). This information may be inaccurate or incomplete through no fault of ours (for example, because the financial institution has changed its interest rate or policies, but has not yet told us about the change). When this happens, your ability to use our Services may be compromised through no fault of ours, and we cannot accept any responsibility for any problems or damages which might occur.
If you decide to conclude a mortgage service through HVR Financial Inc you will be dealing with third-party financial institutions. We do not ourselves offer mortgages or other financial products and services. Your conclusion of a mortgage or other transaction is not governed by these Terms and will be the subject of a separate contract with the financial institution. It may also be the subject of an additional contract with us.
Purchase of Mortgages Services Through HVR Financial
The Services are brokerage services only, which means that we, HVR Financial Inc, does not offer any mortgages ourselves. Should that change in the future the amendment to this policy shall reflect as such. Instead, we act as a mortgage broker. This means that we help you to find mortgages offered by third parties, to select a mortgage that you qualify for, and then we put you in touch with the third-party financial institution which offers that mortgage so that you can sign a contract with them. We also provide advice and facilitation services for which there is usually a fee charge of 2% of the funding amount.
In our role as a broker, we are helping both sides to the transaction. Just as we provide you with services and information, we also provide services and information to the financial institutions. Our role is not to favor the interests of either side, but instead to help both sides reach a win-win result.
The final decision about whether you qualify for a given mortgage will be made by the third-party financial institution, and we have no control over such decision.
Your mortgage (and any other financial products and services you purchase) will be subject to a separate contract with the third party, rather than these Terms of services. We, HVR Financial Inc are not a party to your contract with the third-party financial institutions. As such, we cannot accept any responsibility for problems arising from or related to these third-party contracts nor any third-party services (including websites or apps) which may be used in the process.
Use of the HVR Financial Inc web Site
HVR Financial Inc, gives you permission to download forms and utilize any calculators for the purpose of obtaining estimations about the costs related to your enquiry. Our role is to make the App/Site and App/Site-delivered Services reasonably available, and to provide mortgage brokerage services. As explained in the previous section, we cannot control or neither accept any responsibility for any other issues. We may update the web site from time to time in order to improve our services to the end user.
