Interference or entry to the Site with intent to corrupt, damage or deny service from the Site is taken seriously and we will take such action as is necessary to protect the Site from any such activities. You acknowledge that damages may not be an adequate remedy for any infringement and that we are entitled to the remedies of injunction, specific performance, an order to deliver up materials which infringe our intellectual property rights and any other statutory or equitable relief and that no proof of special damages is necessary for reliance on such remedies.

Terms and conditions of our products and services
The content of the Site does not constitute an offer by us to sell products and services. Your request to purchase a product or service represents an offer by you that we may accept or reject and will be subject to the terms and conditions of that product or service.

The information and descriptions on the Site do not necessarily represent complete descriptions of all terms and conditions in relation to our products and services. Specific details will be included in the documents and/or conditions issued to you.

Any examples and tax models provided in the Site or generated by AutoQuote Online � are for indicitative purposes only and should not be relied upon. You should contact your accountant or other competent, qualified advisor for specific tax planning advice.

You must ensure that the details you give to us while using this Site are correct and that you disclose all facts relevant to the processing of credit applications.

Consent to Process Data under the Data Protection Act 1998
Focus Leasing will use the information provided to apply for suitable finance facilities for you. We may disclose the information to other companies including suppliers of equipment and services, and lenders for the purpose of considering this credit application.

The lender may assess your application using credit scoring. Declines based on this automated technique can be reviewed manually on request. They may make searches at one or more credit reference agencies (CRAs). A record of this search will be kept and may be used by other lenders in assessing applications from you for credit in the future. Any information held about you by the CRAs may already be linked to records relating to one or more of your partners, including previous and subsequent names of parties to an account. In this case, this application may be treated as financially linked and assessed with reference to any "associated records". For joint applications a new "association" may be created at the CRAs (except for limited companies and partnerships) which will link your financial records. If this is a joint application, you must be entitled to disclose information about your co-applicant and/or anyone else referred to by you, and to authorise the lender to search and/or record information at CRAs about both of you. When an application is received from a business, information may be sought from CRAs on the company directors and/or partners as individuals. The lender will check your details with fraud prevention agencies and if false or misleading information is given on the application and fraud is suspected, this will be recorded. Other lenders will check this information to help prevent fraud. The information may be retained for an indefinite period and may be used for marketing (by post, telephone, email and fax) and other purposes. If you do not want your details to be used in this way please inform us in writing. You have a right to see a copy of any information held about you by applying in writing. A fee will be payable.
