Mon3y is licensed as an Australian Financial Services and Credit Licensee (“AFSL”) pursuant to section 913B of the Corporations Act 2001 and the National Credit Act 2009, under Licence Number 328141.

As part of Mon3y Australian Credit Licence Mon3y makes available factual information that is sourced from credit providers. Mon3y is in no way providing or intending to provide credit assistance to you by suggesting or assisting you apply for, remain in, or increase your credit limit with a particular credit provider. If Mon3y refers you to a credit provider or provider of credit assistance you will be dealing directly with them and not Mon3y.

You agree that content on the Site does not constitute financial, taxation, accounting, legal or other professional advice and will not be relied upon as such.

You should always obtain a Product Disclosure Statement (“PDS”) relating to any product You are considering acquiring directly from a Financial Institution offering the product and You should consider that PDS prior to making any decision about whether to acquire the product.

Accuracy of information on the site

Where we collect information such as rates, pricing and product information we make every effort to ensure that all information displayed on the Site is accurate and we will correct any errors or omissions as soon as practicable after being notified of them. We collect the information displayed on the Site from a variety of sources, including directly from the providers of the products or services and from our own research. We do not guarantee that the Site will be fault free or that all of the information displayed will be completely accurate and we accept no liability whatsoever for any errors of omissions.

We also allow Users to contribute content to the Site through our Ratings and Review system. Mon3y monitors such content for illegal or unauthorised activity but does not endorse any of the opinions expressed by individuals or vouch for their accuracy or authenticity.

You should therefore use the Site as a general information service only, and ensure that You obtain accurate and up to date information directly from the applicable Financial Institution before making a decision to apply for or acquire products or services. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Mon3y disclaims all warranties, representations (whether express or implied) and responsibilities about the reliability, accuracy or completeness of any information contained on the Site. Your use of the Site is at Your own risk. In no event will Mon3y be liable to You or anyone else for any financial decision made or action taken by You or anyone else in reliance upon any information contained on or omitted from the Site.

Third party providers' products and services

You can apply for a third party providers' products and services using hyperlinks on the Site which will connect You to the relevant Financial Institution or by completing an inquiry referral form requesting follow up contact.

You should satisfy yourself that You wish to purchase those products or services before contracting with the third parties. We accept no liability for any products or services or information provided by third party providers. You should obtain further information from the third party providers, and You should not rely solely on the information supplied on our Site.

The third party providers' products and services that are outlined on the Site, (which may include the products or services of a Financial Institution) are only an invitation for You to exchange and not an offer capable of forming a binding contract with Mon3y or the relevant Financial Institution. In addition, the state or country in which You reside or do business may have particular laws which render the information provided inapplicable to Your specific situation. At all times You should seek further information directly from the Financial Institution in order to make a decision to enter into a binding contract with them.

Featured products, product endorsements or recommendations of third party Financial Institutions

Mon3y does not specifically recommend or endorse any particular product, provider or service.

The links or inquiry referral forms to Financial Institutions provided on the Site do not represent a recommendation or endorsement from Mon3y for that institution's product, or an endorsement that the general information that we have provided on the Site is completely up to date and accurate. You should therefore obtain all accurate and up to date information directly from the Financial Institution before making a decision to apply for or acquire their product or services.

These are paid for by the relevant third-party advertisers and are not recommendations or endorsements by Mon3y for the products and services which they are advertising.
