offer the best opportunity for that business owner to prepare for and acquire a business
loan. Once prepared, small business owners are then introduced to the most
appropriate lending source via our proprietary technology.

purposes only and are not deemed to be part of this Terms. Unless otherwise explicitly
stated, the Terms will survive termination of your registration to the Service. The failure
of LenderMatch to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms does not
constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is held
invalid, the remainder of the Terms will continue in full force and effect. Regardless of
any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related
to the use of the Site or the Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or
