3. Description of Website Services and information provided
Lead To Sales is not a financial advisor and/or a mortgage broker. We do not provide any financial advice or mortgage broking services. The website and the services contained herein are designed to provide a technical link between you and a qualified and/or licensed financial advisor, mortgage broker or credit card provider. By submitting the required information in the relevant field, a financial advisor or mortgage broker from a range of participating financial services organisations (a “participating financial services organisation”) is connected with you on the basis of a post code allocation system and will contact you to help you with your financial needs.
Similarly, where you have selected to receive a service from one of our service providers, such as a real estate agent, your information will be passed on to the relevant service provider to enable delivery of the service you have selected to receive.
The participating financial services organisation and/or service provider is not employed by us. We do not sponsor, endorse, recommend or approve any financial services organisation and/or service provider, who offers services through the website.
Lead To Sales may receive a fee for providing your personal information to participating financial services organisation and/or a service provider.

For further information regarding how we collect and use your personal information, please refer to our Privacy Policy located below.
Whilst we use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that participating financial services organisation and/or service providers are qualified and licensed to provide their relevant services, we cannot and do not guarantee, warrant or represent that any participating financial services organisation and/or service provider who offers services through this website is licensed, qualified, or able to perform the relevant services. We therefore strongly recommend that you take all necessary measures and precautions before you engage the participating financial services organisation and/or service provider to act on your behalf and/or seek to rely on any information provided by the participating financial services organisation and/or service provider.
We cannot and do not guarantee that we have a participating financial services organisation and/or service provider allocated to your specific area or postcode. Consequently, you agree and acknowledge that we may not be able to provide the service requested by you notwithstanding the submission of all required information on your part.
