What does this mean?

The section concerns information about credit assessment, that is, the service provider's check of whether the customer can repay a credit. The customer must be told that an assessment will be made, including by searching databases, and that the customer has the right to be notified of the result when a database search leads to a refusal. The customer must also be told that correct and complete information must be provided within the time limit, and that the service provider can cancel the agreement if the customer has fraudulently provided incorrect information.

The section is the last in the series of information rules from § 3-24 to § 3-29. The duty to provide information in connection with the credit assessment itself also has a separate rule in § 5-3.
