This consent is required in terms of the Code of Banking Practice. I hereby irrevocably authorise the financial institution selected by Bird & Co to contact any of the referees (including but not limited to banks or auditors) mentioned in this application form and to obtain any additional information which the financial institution, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary; and authorise the financial institution to cross refer any documents or information regarding my personal, business or financial affairs to one another, in as far as it may be necessary for either of them to comply with their agreement.
I declare that the information provided in this application form is, to the best of my knowledge, true, correct and accurate in all material respects. I acknowledge that failure to disclose any information relevant to this application, or the provision of untrue, incorrect or inaccurate information, will render this application or any subsequent agreement null and void.
I declare that the amount stated in the application as own contribution has not been borrowed from any source where it is repayable in the future or where it may cause any financial liability to the business. I further acknowledge that this application does not constitute any form of agreement or contract between the franchisor, the financial institution and myself, and is in no way binding on either party. However, if any finance is granted to me as a result of this application, the information contained herein will apply throughout the duration thereof and form the basis for such financing.
I acknowledge that if finance is approved by the financial institution, I will be required to complete and sign further documentation and to pay the costs involved where applicable. I authorise the financial institution to disclose full particulars regarding the approval of my application to Bird & Co.
I accept that all information provided in this application is correct, factual and a true reflection of my state of affairs, and that it will be used to determine my suitability for a Bird & Co franchise. Should information provided be found inaccurate, Bird & Co reserves its right to institute legal action and claim any losses suffered as a result.
