Services Description
Spinwheel is a financial technology platform that helps customers better manage their financial decisions by giving them access to information and tools related to debt management, including re-financing, new financing, existing liabilities, and one-time or recurring payments. Spinwheel Services help customers manage one-time and recurring payments to loan or other debt providers as well as existing liabilities (e.g., bill payment). Spinwheel Services also include a comparison service that helps customers evaluate certain third party financial products and services.
One-time and Recurring Payments
The Services enable you or a third party to make payments on loan or bill-pay obligations via an external bank account linked through the Services. Spinwheel partners with one or more partner banks to make the Services available to you. By using the Services, you direct us to transfer information and instructions provided by you or your authorized representatives to the partner bank, in order to allow the partner bank to make all necessary arrangements and transactions to perform the payment services, or the amounts you provide to partner bank, to pay your lender and until this Agreement terminates. Where applicable, in the event that the minimum payment amounts that you owe on your payment obligations change, you instruct the partner bank, through the Services, to change the withdrawal amounts in order to meet the new minimum payment amounts.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, WE ARE SOLELY PROVIDING YOUR INFORMATION TO BANKS ON A PASS-THROUGH BASIS. THE PARTNER BANK IS SOLELY AUTHORIZED TO HOLD YOUR FUNDS AND TO INITIATE OR EXECUTE TRANSACTIONS, PAYMENTS AND TRANSFERS ON YOUR BEHALF. AT NO TIME WILL WE RECEIVE, CONTROL OR HOLD YOUR FUNDS, CONSTRUCTIVELY OR OTHERWISE.
By using the Services, you further authorize us and our bank partner to (i) obtain information regarding your loan/bank account from your lenders, banks, billers, partners, or service providers; (ii) release information regarding your loan/bank account(s) as needed to make a transaction, comply with governmental reporting obligations, legal processes or court orders, or when investigating a loss involving our partner bank and another financial institution. This information may be obtained at any time during this Agreement, and any such information obtained may be utilized by us to provide the Services. This information may include ordering a credit report and performing other credit checks or verifying the information you provide against third party databases. Credit checks will be performed via “soft pull” and will not affect your credit score. See more below in the section ‘Use of Consumer Credit Information’ regarding credit checks and soft credit pulls.
An estimated term reduction or savings does not include the impact of transaction fees and is only an estimate. Actual term reduction may vary. We do not guarantee term reductions and make no representations that the Services will result in savings on your loan or other debt obligation(s).
Loan Information and Comparison Decision Service
The Services may include an independent comparison service provider that allows you to obtain general information, including but not limited to, the ability to find third party financial providers for certain financial request services and products. The Services are designed to provide consumers with information about various lenders, issuers, financial institutions, non-bank financial institutions, and/or financial services providers and a lending marketplace through the Services’ content and tools. Such information, content and tools are provided as part of the Services but is not a lending institution or other financially related service provider itself. Any product or service offered or related transaction to which you are a party as a result of your use of the Services is solely transacted between you and the applicable service provider and is not part of the Services. We do not issue loans, credit cards, or any other financial products nor do we act as an agent or advisor to you or any financial provider. Third party financial request providers are solely responsible for any services they may provide you.
All rate, fees, and terms are presented without guarantee and are subject to change pursuant to each provider’s discretion and may not be available in all states or for all types of loans. There is no guarantee that you will be approved or qualify for the advertised rates, fees, or terms presented. We do not guarantee acceptance into any particular program or specific terms or conditions with any financial provider—approval standards are established and maintained solely by financial providers. We do not guarantee that the rates offered include the lowest rates available in the market or the rate that will ultimately be charged. The comparative Services do not include all lending companies or all available lending offers that may be available to you.
Use of Consumer Credit Information
To provide the Services, including, but not limited to, checking the rates and terms you may qualify for, we access your consumer credit information by conducting a ‘soft pull’ to avoid affecting your credit score. However, if you choose a product and continue your application, we may request your full credit report from one or more consumer reporting agencies, which is considered a ‘hard pull’ and may affect your credit and/or credit score or rating. You understand that, by using the Services or submitting or enrolling for any Services, you have provided ‘written instructions’ in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, as amended (FCRA), for Spinwheel and its employees, agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, contractors, third party data sources and suppliers, and all other credit reporting agencies under the FCRA to access your credit files from each such national credit reporting agency in order to verify your identity and to provide the Services to you. You agree and hereby authorize Spinwheel, its agents and employees, to provide your personally identifiable information to third parties as provided in our Privacy Policy, as may be amended from time to time. You waive any and all claims against Spinwheel and its agents and employees for the acts or omissions of these third parties with regard to the use or disclosure of such information. You further authorize Spinwheel and its agents and employees to obtain various information and reports about you in order to provide the Services, including, but not limited to, address history reports, name and alias reports, criminal reports or sex offender reports, and to provide monitoring and alerts. You further understand and agree that, by using the Services, you have provided Spinwheel ‘written instructions’ in accordance with the FCRA for Spinwheel to obtain and use information you have provided, and your credit report(s) and/or score(s) to notify you of credit opportunities and other products and services that may be available to you through Spinwheel or Spinwheel’s Platform Partners and affiliated third parties.

Dispute Resolution
MOST CUSTOMER CONCERNS CAN BE RESOLVED QUICKLY AND TO THE CUSTOMER’S SATISFACTION BY CONTACTING SPINWHEEL’S CUSTOMER SUPPORT DEPARTMENT AT SUPPORT@SPINWHEEL.IO. IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT SPINWHEEL’S CUSTOMER SUPPORT DEPARTMENT IS UNABLE TO RESOLVE A COMPLAINT YOU MAY HAVE TO YOUR SATISFACTION (OR IF SPINWHEEL HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE A DISPUTE IT HAS WITH YOU AFTER ATTEMPTING TO DO SO INFORMALLY), WE EACH AGREE TO RESOLVE THOSE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF IN COURTS OF GENERAL JURISDICTION TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. ARBITRATION IS MORE INFORMAL THAN A LAWSUIT IN COURT. ARBITRATION USES A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF A JUDGE OR JURY, ALLOWS FOR MORE LIMITED DISCOVERY THAN IN COURT, AND IS SUBJECT TO VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY COURTS. ARBITRATORS CAN AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF THAT A COURT CAN AWARD.
ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. IN ARBITRATION, THE PREVAILING PARTY WILL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ATTORNEYS’ FEES FROM THE OTHER PARTY.
Arbitration Agreement:
- Any claim, dispute, or controversy, arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before this or any prior Agreement; claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement (“Claim”), no matter how described, pleaded or styled, shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding individual arbitration conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules in your state of residence at a location that is reasonably convenient for both parties.
- A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Spinwheel should be addressed to: Spinwheel Solutions, Inc. Attn: Notices, 490 43rd St. Unit 24, Oakland, CA 94609 (“Notice Address”). The Notice must describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and set forth the specific relief you seek from Spinwheel (“Demand”). If Spinwheel and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Spinwheel may commence an arbitration proceeding. During arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Spinwheel or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determined the amount, if any, to which you or Spinwheel is entitled. You may obtain more information about arbitration from www.adr.org
