Rather, it is an inquiry that may be able to present conditional offers. You understand that Arena may keep your form information and any other information provided or received in the processing of your form, whether you are qualified for a product with them or complete a formal application for services with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u200bFor any Service, by saving your information with Arena or submitting a form through the Arena website, you represent that all the information you have provided is true, accurate, current and complete.

Unless expressly stated in writing, nothing contained herein shall constitute an offer or promise for a Loan commitment or interest rate lock-in agreement. Providers may not offer all products as well as not offer products in all states. You might not be matched with the Provider making any specific offer. If you agree to terms with any Provider with whom you are matched on our Websites, you will be responsible for paying for any closing costs associated with your Loan (such as settlement services, Loan processing, underwriting or funding fees) at closing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By clicking on any button indicating an acceptance or agreement to terms, a continuance of processing or submission (collectively, a \u201csubmission\u201d) you understand that you are consenting, acknowledging, and agreeing to the stated terms and conditions of that submission and that you are submitting an inquiry for a Service through Arena to each of the Providers to whom your Loan request is transmitted. You are also indicating that you are consenting, acknowledging, and agreeing to receive notices, disclosures, and other communications (\u201cDisclosures and Communications\u201d) in electronic form (either by email or via the Internet) as provided for in the Consent for Electronic Disclosures and Communications from Arena and its Providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Termination<\/strong>. You may terminate your relationship with us by notifying us in writing using the information in the Contact Us section below. We may terminate your use of the Website on any grounds, without notice, and without liability to you or any third party. If your use of the Website is terminated, you will still remain liable for any obligations you have incurred in connection with using the Website.
