Terms and Conditions

Kube Innovation Limited – Our relationship with you

Here at Kube Innovation Limited, we don’t really like long terms and conditions, but these are important. Because this document, together with our Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy (our Terms ), sets out the rules which cover our relationship with you. They explain our responsibilities and yours, and how you can use our services. These apply to you if you use our services and are legally binding so please read them – in fact, you might want to print them out or save them on your device in case you ever want to come back to them in the future.

You should also remember that these aren’t a complete list of all your or our rights or responsibilities, as there might be others under general law. If you want more information about your general rights as a consumer, contact a consumer advice organization, such as the Citizens’ Advice Bureau.

What are our services?

We aim to help you take control over your own finances by helping you to build your affordability score based on your bank and/or other transactions which we will only access after receiving your explicit consent.

What is an “affordability score”?

When you click to search for credit offers on our website, we or our service providers will or may record a ‘affordability score’ on your credit file, but this record will be invisible to other lenders. This means the soft search will not affect a lender’s decision whether or not to lend to you and it won’t affect your credit score.

You can opt out of the affordability score if you want to by going on the ‘My Account’ section. But if you do opt out of this, we will not be able to show you offers that are specifically targeted to you and will only be able to show you generic ones, which may be less suited to your financial circumstances.

How often will an “affordability score” be performed for your Kube Innovation Limited account?

By using our services you agree that your records and, where applicable, those of your financial associates (for example, anyone you have a mortgage or joint loan with) will be searched:

  • As part of verifying your identity, we will carry out an authentication search against your credit information. This search will be carried out once at the time you register for our services
  • Whilst you remain an active user of our services, we (or our third party service providers) will carry out searches against your credit information and, where applicable, your financial associates’ credit information in order to provide you with your credit score, credit report and relevant products.

We will hold your details and records on our systems and make this credit information available to you through our website. If there has been a relevant change or addition to information in your credit score or credit report, we may notify you by sending you an email.

We will undertake analysis and profiling of your credit information and, where applicable, your financial associates' credit information (and any other information provided by you or on your behalf). We may also make tools available to you so you can do this yourself. This is to assist you in being better informed about, understand and manage your credit position, and in order to identify and inform you of credit products that are likely to be suited to your circumstances or which we collect about you through our website, apps and your mobile devices. We will use your credit information and any other data you provide or make available to us for the purposes set out in these Terms, including our Privacy Policy.

We may also use your information (and, where applicable, that of your financial associates) to identify whether you may benefit from additional guidance concerning your credit score and steps you can take to improve your score.

Before we delete your account we will send you an email to alert you of our intention to do so. If we delete your account, we may keep records or data relating to you in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We may share your information with third party service providers, such as Credit Reference Agencies, financial services providers and other advertisers, in accordance with our Privacy Policy and your account’s privacy settings.

If you would prefer not to share your information with such third-party service providers. But if you do opt out of this, we will not be able to show you offers that are specifically targeted to you and will only be able to show you generic ones, which may be less suited to your financial circumstances.

If you want us to, we’ll use this information to match you with tailored offers for credit and financial products. The offers won’t be from us, they’ll be from other financial services providers and you don’t have to accept these. We aim to present only economically advantageous products that you have a strong likelihood of being accepted for based on the merits of the product and your profile. Some might save you money, others might not. The key thing to remember is that you need to make your own decision about whether any offers are right for you. We don’t have all the information about you or your individual financial situation and we are not providing you with financial advice.

Making an application for lending from a third-party

Third party lenders will use their own criteria in making decisions about you. Any decisions you make on the basis of your credit score or credit report, or any other information we provide or make available to you, are purely your own choice.

Please ensure that you have fully read and understand any relevant information, such as the credit provider's terms and conditions, which provide full details of the risks involved with any decision you make. You may wish to consider obtaining professional or specialist advice before taking, or refraining from taking, any action on the basis of the content on our website or any other information we provide or make available to you.

Your responsibility

In order to get a quote through our price comparison service, you will need to answer some questions on our site needed by all the different product or service providers and any intermediaries they may use. The answers you give will determine the products or services available to you and the amount you will pay. You must get permission from any other people whose details you propose to use in requesting a quote. If you submit another person's details, you are confirming to us that you have their permission to do so, and that they understand how their information will be used.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that all information you provide us with is true, accurate and complete and you agree to the assumptions we make. If you do not provide accurate information this could lead to your selected product being invalid and claims may not be paid. You agree that we cannot be held responsible if your selected product is invalid as a result of you providing incorrect information, to us or your selected provider.

As we work with a large number of providers it is important that you read the provider’s terms and conditions, and that you read all documents issued to you by your selected provider and ensure that you are aware of any levels of cover, financial limits and any other terms that apply. If any information is not correct, it is your responsibility to identify the mistake and correct this with the provider directly.

To access our services, you may need to create a username and password. You agree to keep confidential the password and any other login details you use to access our services or engage in any disputes process and not to disclose such passwords and other login details to anyone else. If you know or suspect that someone else has your login details and password you must contact us immediately and change your password. We will not be responsible for any activity performed using your login details unless we have acted negligently or in breach of these Terms.

Price delivery

Companies change their prices and amend their rates on a regular basis. Any price quoted to you will be accurate at the time of issue, and may change if your quote is resubmitted.
