Welcome to BridgeLoanNetwork.com (the “Site”). Please read through the following terms and conditions before using this Site. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions, do not submit information to or access any information from this Site.

- Use of Site
- BLN’s Non-Circumvention
Our Commitment to You:
While Bridge Loan Network (BLN) affiliates are granted equal access to the BLN platform as lenders or brokers, BLN does not allow any lenders or brokers, including its affiliates, access to borrowers’ information, nor do we allow solicitation to borrowers until such lender or broker has been assigned to the borrower’s loan. BLN promises never to directly contact your borrowers who submit information within our site unless otherwise permitted. However, if your borrower initiates contact with another lender or broker, no breach of contract has been made and therefore that lender or broker can provide communication.
BLN shall not initiate any contact with any of Lender’s Borrowers whose loan information is already listed in the Site, except for notices required under this Agreement, other applicable terms and conditions to the use of the Site and its Services, or to obtain information regarding potential or suspected Lender’s circumvention.
The affiliates, parents, and subsidiaries of BLN and their respective employees, officers, counsel, agents, successors, and assigns shall not be permitted to initiate any contact with any of Lender’s Borrowers whose loan information is already listed in or on the Site; provided the Borrower was not already known to the affiliates, parents, and subsidiaries of BLN and their respective employees, officers, counsel, agents, successors, and assigns prior to the Borrower’s information becoming listed in or on the Site. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither BLN nor any of its affiliates, parents, and subsidiaries of BLN and their respective employees, officers, counsel, agents, successors, and assigns shall initiate any contact with any of Lender’s Borrowers with respect to any loan application such Borrower has listed in or on the Site irrespective of whether the Borrower was known to BLN nor any of its affiliates, parents, and subsidiaries of BLN and their respective employees, officers, counsel, agents, successors, and assigns prior to the Borrower’s information becoming listed in or on the Site.
BLN, its affiliates, parents, and subsidiaries, shall not access any files, data, or Confidential Information of the Lender stored within the Site unless and until it is directed to do so by the Lender for the purposes of technical or other support. BLN shall retain this information in confidence for so long as the information is stored in the Site and remains Confidential. BLN acknowledges that all files, data, and Confidential Information entered into the Site by Lender is and remains property of the Lender.
Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the ability of BLN’s affiliates, parents, and subsidiaries and their respective employees, officers, counsel, agents, successors, and assigns from equally participating in the use of the Site to the same extent as any other Lender, Broker, or Borrower would be entitled to participate in its use.

Lender hereby agrees to notify BLN immediately if it becomes aware any user of the Site that improperly contacts Lender or suggests circumventing BLN. Lenders may submit confidential reports of any suspected circumvention by sending an email message to: support@bridgeloannetwork.com
Lender understands and agrees that if it closes a loan due to its identification, receipt, or acquisition of any information, referral, loan application, lead, loan opportunity, or Borrower information from this Site or from BLN generally, then the Lender must pay BLN its fee, or cause the fee to be paid through the appropriate closing party, such as a title/escrow/closing BLN or attorney. Lender understands and agrees that these terms and conditions form a binding and enforceable contract and the fees payable to BLN are in consideration of the Services provided to Lender. BLN may contact any party to the loan transactions, including title/escrow/closing companies or attorneys if BLN suspects the Lender is circumventing BLN in order to ascertain information in this regard.
- Unsolicited Contact not subject to Non-Circumvention.
Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit any Person, including BLN, its affiliates, parents, and subsidiaries and their respective employees, officers, counsel, agents, successors, and assigns, the Lender and its affiliates, parents, and subsidiaries and their respective employees, officers, counsel, agents, successors, and assigns, any Broker and its affiliates, parents, and subsidiaries and their respective employees, officers, counsel, agents, successors, and assigns from accepting unsolicited contact that is initiated by a Borrower so long as the recipient of the contact has no reason to believe the Borrower is bound by this Agreement or any other applicable term and condition that would prohibit the contact.
