(This may arise in the rare event that you request that we provide services in relation to either a product that is offered by a lender that we do not hold an accreditation with, or a product that is outside our usual arrangements with our product providers).


You will be invoiced for any one-off fee and will be given 30 days to make payment.


Conflict of interests and Commissions
