By submitting your vehicle request through First Nation Approval, you acknowledge and agree to the following:
You authorize First Nation Approval to share your submitted information with:
This sharing is necessary to evaluate your eligibility and secure vehicle financing or approval options on your behalf.
By submitting your request — and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Canadian law, simply by accessing or using this website — you expressly and voluntarily authorize First Nation Approval and its participating dealerships, lenders, and financial partners (collectively, the "Authorized Parties") to do the following for the purpose of evaluating your vehicle financing eligibility:
This authorization is required to determine financing eligibility and is given voluntarily. Where a lender's guidelines require it, the Authorized Parties are permitted to obtain both a soft pull (for pre-qualification) and a subsequent hard pull (for formal credit adjudication) on the same file, and you consent to both. This authorization remains valid from the time you access or submit through this site until your financing is completed, your application expires or is withdrawn, or you withdraw consent in writing. A copy of this authorization may be relied upon by participating lenders as your written consent to pull a full credit report.
Your consent is provided in accordance with, and the Authorized Parties' use of your credit information is limited by, applicable Canadian law, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA, S.C. 2000, c. 5), the Consumer Reporting Act (British Columbia: RSBC 1996, c. 75), the Consumer Reporting Act (Alberta: RSA 2000, c. C-23), and the corresponding consumer-reporting and privacy legislation of each province and territory where you reside or apply. For residents of Quebec, this authorization is also provided in accordance with Quebec's Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (CQLR c. P-39.6, as amended by Law 25) and the Charter of the French language (CQLR c. C-11), which require that consent be clear, specific, freely given, and informed. Where Quebec leads are captured, consent is collected on the same explicit clickwrap basis described below and a French version of this authorization, together with French privacy practices, is available on request to info@firstnationapproval.ca. You have the right to access, correct, or request the source of your credit information and may withdraw this consent in writing at any time, subject to the obligations of lenders who have already relied on it.
Nothing in this section limits any other right or authorization available to the Authorized Parties under applicable Canadian federal or provincial law. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remainder continues in full force and effect.
For the specific, sensitive act of pulling your credit file — which may affect your credit score — we do not rely on "browse-wrap" (passive consent from merely visiting this site). Instead, at the moment you submit your application the form requires an affirmative, unambiguous clickwrap act: a consent checkbox that is never pre-checked, is displayed immediately above the submit button, and displays text reading (or substantially reading) "I authorize First Nation Approval and its lending and dealership partners to obtain my credit report, including soft and hard inquiries, to evaluate my financing eligibility." That box must be actively checked by you for the submission to proceed. No credit inquiry is requested, and no consent is inferred, from your presence on the site, scrolling, navigation, or passive browsing alone — only from that active click tied to that specific submission.
This means the authorization on this page is layered: the general terms above describe what you are authorizing, and the checkbox on the form captures your binding consent to that authorization at the precise moment of submission. If you do not check the box, your application is not submitted and no credit pull occurs.
To make your consent verifiable and defensible — and to satisfy lender and credit-bureau audit requirements — at the moment you submit we create and securely retain a consent record tied to that specific application. The record includes, at minimum: the exact consent statement text displayed to you at that submission, your name and contact details, the date and time (timestamp, UTC) of your consent, your IP address, your browser user agent, the unique application or session identifier the consent is bound to, and the version of these Legal Agreements in effect at that time. This record is retained as evidence of your affirmative clickwrap consent and is available to you and to participating lenders upon request.
If a participating lender uses information from your credit file in whole or in part to decline your application, offer less-favourable terms, or take any adverse action, you have the right to be informed, and — to the extent required by the applicable provincial consumer-reporting statute and PIPEDA — to obtain a copy of the report relied upon and a statement of the reasons, directly from the consumer reporting agency that supplied the report (e.g., Equifax Canada or TransUnion of Canada). If you are declined or offered adverse terms and wish to exercise this right, contact us at info@firstnationapproval.ca and, where required by law, we will provide (or direct you to) the name and address of the reporting agency and the steps to obtain your report so you may verify its accuracy and dispute any incorrect information before it is used again.
You also retain the broader rights available to you under PIPEDA and provincial consumer-protection statutes to access, correct, and request the source of personal and credit information held about you, and to withdraw this consent in writing at any time — subject to the lawful obligations of lenders who have already relied on your consent.

To the extent permitted by applicable Canadian provincial consumer-protection and privacy legislation, you agree to release and hold the Authorized Parties harmless from any claims, demands, causes of action, or liability arising out of the credit inquiries (soft or hard), verification of employment and income, and information sharing authorized in this Agreement. Nothing in this section excludes or limits any liability or consumer right that cannot be excluded or limited under Canadian law (including rights under PIPEDA and provincial consumer-protection statutes).
You agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this site, your use of it, or the credit and information authorizations above shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, and you attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of British Columbia, except where a provincial consumer-protection statute requires otherwise.
By proceeding with your submission and accepting the site's consent checkbox, you confirm that:
If you do not agree with any part of these Legal Agreements, you must not access or use this website or submit any request.
