OUR SERVICE

Helping you to decide

We offer the availability of finance facilities in order to help you pay for any products or services that we may supply, and the availability of certain insurance products.

We do not offer advice or make recommendations when arranging your finance or insurances, but we will ask some questions to allow us to narrow down a choice of lender or insurer and to provide a quotation; you will then need to make your own choice about how to proceed.

The capacity in which we act for you

In providing our credit broking service, we will act on your behalf. We are not a lender. In arranging insurances, we will act on your behalf as an insurance intermediary. We are not an insurer.

Our product range and finance provider used

We only offer finance and insurance products from a carefully selected limited range of finance providers. You can ask us for details of the finance providers and insurers that we use.

DETAILS OF ANY PROPOSED FINANCE PRODUCT

We will provide you with all required information in relation to any proposed finance product (including a Pre Contract Credit information form, adequate explanations in relation to the proposed credit agreement, and a copy of a Regulated Credit Agreement) prior to the completion of the finance arrangements.

SuperBike Factory acts as a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a limited number of lenders and finance products to assist you with your vehicle purchase. We act on the lender's behalf when making this introduction. We will not provide advice or recommendations.  You must decide whether the finance product you choose is right for you.

Each credit provider may have different interest rates and charges.  Our role as credit broker is to determine which lender on our panel to introduce you to based on factors including your Credit profile, Age, Age of the asset you are looking to purchase, Driving licence held, Amount of income received, affordability based on disposable income and other factors linked to a lenders criteria.  We will look to match you to a lender based on your needs to allow you to finance the asset you are looking to purchase at an affordable amount to you.  The Finance Lenders on our panel provide Hire Purchase, Conditional Sale, Personal Contract Purchase and Personal Loans.  The Product available will be dependent on the lender that issues the approval based on the information you provided.  

CANCELLATION OF AGREEMENTS

The finance provider or insurer will provide you separately with details of your rights to cancel your credit agreement or insurance policy. Please be aware that if you exercise your right to cancel the credit agreement, finance will not be provided, and you will still need to find an alternative source of finance to fund your purchase.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

You are responsible for answering any questions in relation to any proposal for finance or insurance honestly and to the best of your knowledge, providing complete and accurate information which the finance provider or insurer will require. If you fail to disclose information or misrepresent any fact that may influence the finance provider's decision to provide finance, or the insurer's decision to provide insurance, this could invalidate the credit agreement or insurance policy and mean that the finance may not be provided or that an insurance claim may not be paid. You must check all details on any application form or and pay particular attention to any declaration you may be asked to sign.

It is important that you read all finance or insurance documents issued to you and ensure that you are aware of the costs, repayments, and other terms that apply.

In your dealings with us, you may provide us with information that may include data that is known as personal data. Where we process personal data we comply with statutory data processing requirements as set out by the Data Protection Act 2018. The personal data we will collect will include information relating to your name, address, date of birth, contact details, and criminal offences or convictions.

Where you have agreed, and in circumstances where doing so will be in our mutual interests, your personal data will be used to market our services. You can opt out from receiving marketing services by e-mailing marketing@superbikefactory.co.uk.

In processing personal data for insurance purposes about health or criminal offences, we will only do so to enable us to provide our service to you and based on it being in the public interest.

CREDIT CHECKS

The finance provider or insurer may use public and personal data from a variety of sources including credit reference agencies and other organisations. The information is used to help tailor a price, to ascertain the most appropriate payment options for you, and to help prevent fraud. Any credit reference search will appear on your credit report whether or not your application proceeds. If you have any questions about this or any other matter, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Your details will initially be shared with Experian who will conduct a soft credit search to help ascertain which lenders can be approached.  Lenders will need to conduct a credit search to help them make their decision.  Any credit search conducted will be recorded on your credit file.  As part of the credit application process, a Hard credit search can be carried out, which will then be visible to other lenders and can impact your credit score.  Most lenders will conduct a soft credit search, which will have no impact on your credit score, up until the point you commit to take out the finance agreement.  

CONFLICT OF INTERESTS

Occasions can arise where we, or one of our clients or product providers, may have a potential conflict of interest with business being transacted for you. If this happens, and we become aware that a potential conflict exists, we will write to you and obtain your consent before we carry out your instructions and we will detail the steps we will take to ensure fair treatment.
