Terms and conditions applicable to facilities issued by the JLG Group PLC and Group companies.

These Terms and Conditions are important and form part of the legal agreement between you and us. Please ensure you read and understand the contents detailed below.

We go to great efforts to simplify matters for you and to avoid using banking or legal jargon. There are some matters in this document, however that have to be phrased in a particular way to ensure that we set out the correct legal position to you.

If you don’t understand what any of those terms or conditions mean you should speak to your legal adviser before you accept any offer that we make to you.

These Terms and Conditions and the Facilities to which they apply.

These Terms and Conditions apply to your Facility Agreement (as we define that term below). It is your responsibility to ensure that anyone entering into the Facility Agreement (including the Guarantor, if there is one) reads and retains a copy of these Terms and Conditions for future reference as they contain binding arrangements between you, them and us.

These Terms and Conditions will apply from the point in time at which you sign and return your Facility Agreement to us. Once you have accepted the offer contained in your Facility Agreement you will be legally bound to comply with these Terms and Conditions.

These Terms and Conditions apply to the facilities which we list below (the Facilities or the Facility). Your Facility Agreement will detail the particular type of facility that you have been offered and any specific terms that apply to it. The types of facility that we offer and to which these Terms and Conditions will apply are:

1.1.1

Revolving Credit Facilities (‘RCF’)

1.1.2

Business Builder

1.1.3

Business Accelerator

1.1.4

Portfolio Builder RCF

1.1.5

VAT Loan

1.1.6

VAT on Purchase Loan

1.1.7

Personal qualifying loans

The above examples are not intended to be exhaustive and these Terms and Conditions may be used to apply to other types of facility that we may offer from time to time.

If you have previously entered into a Facility Agreement with us that relates to one of the above types of Facilities, these Terms and Conditions will apply from the Commencement Date (as that term is defined in your Facility Agreement) and, from that point, any previous terms and conditions applicable to your Facility Agreement will cease to be of effect. For the avoidance of doubt any liabilities owed to us under any Facility Agreement at that point will continue to be outstanding until discharged in full by you.

In the event there is any conflict between the terms of any Facility Agreement and these Terms and Conditions the provisions of your Facility Agreement will prevail. In all other respects these Terms and Conditions will govern each type of Facility issued.

They can be found at https://www.just-cashflow.com/terms

The use of the term ‘JLG’ or ‘we’ throughout these terms and conditions will be equally applicable to facilities issued by Just Cash Flow PLC and Just Bridging Loans PLC.

We may from time to time change, vary or supplement these Terms and Conditions. We will notify you of any such changes by email. From the date of that notification, all Facility Agreements will be governed by the then changed Terms and Conditions.

Credit appeals process

If you apply for credit and are declined we operate a transparent credit appeals process which we will make available to you. All decisions to decline formal applications for credit to business borrowers are subject to assessment. If upheld, the decline decision and reason(s) will be communicated to you verbally and in writing.

Payments

You (or the Guarantor if you fail to do so) must punctually make the repayments at the times and on the dates specified in your Facility Agreement. You may be required to complete a direct debit and/or a standing order instruction for the purpose of your repayments. At our discretion notwithstanding any intervening expiry date, any direct debit(s) and/or standing order(s) for the agreed periodic repayment amounts may continue to be presented until the full amount of the loan and any other amounts due in respect of the loan have been repaid.

4.1.2

If the Interest Rate varies during the repayment period we may, but are not under any obligation to, (i) vary the amount of the repayments by changing the amount of the direct debit or by accepting a new standing order instruction for the revised payment; or (ii) adjust the number of the repayments; or (iii) adjust the amount of the final balancing payment.

Any residual balance outstanding at the end of a repayment period (whether arising from fluctuations in the Interest Rate, an Act of Default relating to the repayment of principal or interest on the due dates, timing of drawdown, scheduled repayments falling due on non-Business Days, or otherwise) will attract default interest at the Default Interest Rate together with excess interest and will become immediately due and payable until the full amount of the residual balance and any other amounts due in respect of the loan have been repaid.

Any credit balance which remains outstanding will be promptly paid to you after the deduction of all sums due to us howsoever arising.

4.3

Early Repayment Fee – Business Builder and Business Accelerator

If you have a Business Builder, Business Accelerator or any other term loan agreement with us and you wish to terminate and repay that agreement before the end of the applicable Term you must give us 10 Business Days prior notification in writing of your intention to do so.

You will be required to pay any Early Repayment Fee to us immediately upon cancelling and/or repaying your Facility.

4.4

Overpayment

Unless otherwise agreed we will use any overpayment to reduce the remaining term of the loan and your scheduled repayments will remain unchanged and will continue to fall on the scheduled repayment dates until your loan is repaid in full. You may request, at the time of making the overpayment, that you want to use it to reduce your scheduled repayment and to leave the Term unchanged. An overpayment is any payment which is in addition to a scheduled repayment and is insufficient after paying off any arrears to repay the outstanding balance due under the agreement. We will charge you an administration fee where we are required to maintain or administer any such overpayment.

free of any deduction or withholding for or on account of tax unless you are required by law to make such a deduction or a withholding in which case the amount of the payment to us will be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that we receive a sum equal to that which we would have received had no deduction or withholding been made.

If the liabilities to be set off are expressed in different currencies, we may convert either liability at a market rate of exchange for the purpose of set-off. Any exercise by us of our rights under this clause will not limit or affect any other rights or remedies available to us under the Finance Documents or otherwise.

What is an Annual Percentage Rate ‘APR’?

The APR is the annual rate charged for borrowing and is expressed as a percentage that represents the actual yearly cost of an unsecured loan up to £25,000 over its term. This applies to Just Cash Flow PLC’s fixed term loans as well as our revolving credit facilities. The calculation includes any fees and costs associated with the transaction (if any) and compounding of interest.

APR example for a Revolving Credit Facility for £10,000 over 1 year:

Please note that

Fees and costs will vary according to the size of the loan and the circumstances of each applicant; they will always be made known in advance.

Default interest rates may apply, the standard being 1.5% per day; as this is a variable element it cannot be taken into account in the calculation of APR.

The assumption is made that the facility will operated within limits and payments of interest are made on time.

What is the Representative APR (variable) ?

The Representative APR (variable) is based on the interest rate we reasonably expect 51% of our customers taking out a loan will pay. In respect of a loan product advertised as ‘27.375% Representative APR (variable)’, this means that 51% of accepted applicants will have an APR of 27.375% and up to 49% will have a different (probably higher) rate.

In the same example of a Revolving Credit Facility for £10K over 1 year with those same costs, Just Cash Flow PLC indicates that its Representative APR is 27.8% being our best estimate of take up, at the advertised rates, of 51% of our customers.

Comparisons

Both the APR and Representative APR (variable) are published so that applicants for our products can conveniently draw comparisons with similar products on offer by other lenders.
