You can contact Faire using the contact details in the privacy policy to request human review or contest a credit limit decision.

Faire now explicitly authorizes collection of inferred or predicted business attributes (such as store type or category) based on information you provide, publicly available data, your website, and your activity on the platform. The policy also discloses that Faire uses automated decision-making to assess credit risk and automatically set credit limits on retailer accounts, which determines payment terms.
