5. Access to Funding
We connect you to funding. We don't provide it.
We do not provide funding directly and are not a lender. We do not guarantee approval for any credit product. Approval is subject solely to the relevant lender's own terms and credit criteria.
- We act as a Credit Representative (number 568624) of QED Credit Services Pty Ltd, Australian Credit Licence 387856 - facilitating introductions, not lending decisions
- Information provided (including comparison results and indicative rates) is general, not financial advice
- Read all product disclosure documents; seek independent advice where appropriate
- We're not responsible for third-party lenders' conduct - disputes on a funded product sit with that lender
6. Intellectual Property
All content, branding, and technology on our Services - including the Cashper engine and S.T.A.R. framework - belongs to Trade Funding Pty Ltd or its licensors.

- Merchantability, fitness for purpose, or non-infringement

This doesn't override any consumer guarantee that can't be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.

On termination:
