The penalty for late payment is calculated on the outstanding amount for each day of delay starting from the day after the due date.

11.2 Late payments will firstly cover the expenses arising from debt collection, then the principal amount according to the Loan Agreement, thirdly the interest amounts, and then the late payment interest.

11.3 If the amount transferred to the Borrower’s Virtual Account is not sufficient to pay all loan instalments of all the Loan Agreements, the amount is divided between the investors in proportion to the amount of each instalment due.

11.10 If the amount due exceeds the amount of three repayments and the Portal Manager has forwarded the cancellation request to the Borrower with at least an additional two-week deadline, and the amount to be collected has not been paid during this period, the payment schedule will expire. If the payment schedule has expired, the entire loan amount that has become recoverable is due, the collection of the entire loan amount begins, and the investor has the right to demand the payment of the entire loan amount together with the interest payments calculated until the termination of the contract. The notice of emergency cancellation of the Loan Agreement will be forwarded by the Portal Manager to the Borrower in writing.

11.11 By signing the General Terms, the Borrower agrees that the Portal Manager may share the Borrower’s personal data and other data provided on the Portal with credit registers for the purpose of checking their creditworthiness and for storing data.

Precontractual information

Taking a loan is a financial obligation and before assuming any such obligation, all the related terms and conditions should be examined carefully.

It is therefore important to think through whether and how much is needed to be borrowed and how will its refinancing be arranged. The accompanying costs must be made clear, as well as whether your budget allows you to cover the loan instalments and the associated costs throughout the entire contract period.

In order to ensure you are properly informed, read through all the terms and conditions of the agreement you are signing and the documents referred to in the latter (in particular, the General Terms and Conditions for Using the Omaraha OÜ Portal, the price list on our website, and the Procedure for Processing Personal Data).

Be diligent and always provide true and complete information about your financial situation so that we could accurately assess your options for performing your obligations.

If you have any further questions, please contact us by telephone +372 58 070 613 or e-mail info@omaraha.ee. Moreover, be sure to consult with a family member or an expert before committing to the loan.

If you have made the decision to enter into the agreement after giving the matter careful consideration, be sure to pay attention to the following:

Information form

Before signing the agreement, read through the Standard European Consumer Credit Information form given to you. It provides a comprehensive summary of the terms and conditions of the agreement.

Concluding the agreement and issuing the loan

In order to enter into the agreement, you must have first read and signed the General Terms and Conditions for Using the Omaraha OÜ Portal. Upon signing the agreement, you must also pay a contract fee and a guarantee fund fee, which we will deduct from the loan amount paid to you. After signing the agreement, we will transfer the loan amount to your Virtual Account.

Right to withdraw from the agreement

After signing the agreement, you may still withdraw from it within 14 days. For further details on the procedure, read the terms of withdrawal specified in the agreement.

Interest

For using the loan, you must pay a monthly interest, which we will calculate on the balance of the loan starting from the date of conclusion of the agreement up until the full repayment of the loan. The interest rate is stated on the front page of the agreement and will not be subject to changes during the contract period unless a separate agreement has been concluded on the matter.

Repayments

The monthly loan repayments consist of the repayment of the principal amount of the loan and the interest. The repayments are made in accordance with the payment schedule annexed to the agreement, which specifies the number of repayments and their due dates. The payment schedule is based on the principle of annuity, which means that monthly repayments are usually of equal size. Make sure that the necessary funds are available on your Virtual Account on the due date, so that we can debit it from your account when needed.

Early repayment

It is also possible to repay the loan prematurely – if you have decided to do so, please let us know in advance and pay attention to the terms of early repayment specified in the agreement. Note that in such case, we may claim a compensation amounting to 0.5–1% of the repayable amount.

Possible inconveniences in case of non-performance of the agreement

Your primary responsibility is to ensure that a sufficient amount would be available on your Virtual Account and that the loan repayments would be made in accordance with the payment schedule. If you are unable to pay, please contact us immediately – we shall work together to prevent problems and find a solution to the situation.

In case of non-performance, you should take account of additional costs and inconveniences:
