Investor Offering Limitations

Securities offered pursuant to Regulation Crowdfunding are highly speculative and expose investors to higher risk of complete loss of their investment. Congress and the SEC impose certain restrictions under Regulation Crowdfunding limiting the amount that an investor can invest in such offerings to protect investors. Non-accredited users are permitted, over a 12-month period, to invest in the aggregate across all offerings made pursuant to Regulation Crowdfunding (whether on the Platform or through other intermediaries) up to the following amount: (a) if either their annual income or net worth is less than $124,000, than the greater of $2,500 or 5 percent of the lesser of User’s annual income or net worth; (ii) if both their annual income and net worth are equal to or more than $124,000, 10 percent of the lesser of User’s annual income or net worth. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the 12-month period preceding your proposed investment, the aggregate amount of such investments may not exceed $124,000. The amount accredited investors are allowed to invest is unlimited. You represent and warrant that you are in compliance with the above limitations and rules under Regulation Crowdfunding each time you invest in an offering.

 

Issuer Offering Limitations

Issuer represents and warrants that it is eligible to conduct an offering pursuant to Regulation Crowdfunding and complies with all applicable rules, regulations and laws. Regulation Crowdfunding may not be relied upon by (i) non-U.S. companies, (ii) reporting companies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (iii) certain investment companies, (iv) companies that are subject to disqualification under Regulation Crowdfunding, (v) companies that have failed to comply with the annual reporting requirements under Regulation Crowdfunding during the two years immediately preceding the filing of the offering statement, and (vi) companies that have no specific business plan or have indicated that their business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies. Issuer represents and warrants that it has not raised up to a maximum aggregate amount of $5 million pursuant to Regulation Crowdfunding in a 12-month period (regardless of whether such securities are sold through the Platform or other intermediary).

 

Private Issuers

The Issuer represents and warrants to the Platform that it has complied with the disclosure requirements under Rule 201(d) of Regulation Crowdfunding and complied with all filing requirements under Form C. Each issuer is solely responsible for the material it posts on this Platform and, by posting such material, represents that: (i) it has complied in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations; and (ii) such information will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make such statements not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they are made. The Platform and its Users are entitled to and will rely upon any representations made by each Issuer. Platform makes no representations regarding whether any offering materials or content on the Platform are complete, truthful and accurate; nor is Platform responsible for verifying or investigating the completeness, truthfulness and accuracy of such representation or offering materials. The information and materials on the Platform may contain typographical errors or inaccuracies. Any dated information is published as of its date only, and does not undertake any obligation or responsibility to update or amend any such information. Users of the Platform acknowledge that Platform is not liable for and will not verify or investigate the accuracy and completeness of the offering material and other information posted on the Platform.

 

No Disqualifying Events

Each Issuer warrants and represents that none of its predecessors, any affiliated issuer, any director, executive officer, other officer of the Issuer participating in the offering, any beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Issuer’s outstanding voting equity securities, calculated on the basis of voting power, any promoter (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) connected with the Issuer in any capacity at the time of sale nor any compensated solicitor or any director, executive officer, other officer of the compensated solicitor participating in the Offering (each, an “Issuer Covered Person” and collectively, “Issuer Covered Persons”) is subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifying events described in Section 302(d)(2) of Regulation Crowdfunding (a “Disqualifying Event”). Each Issuer warrants and represents that it has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Issuer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualifying Event. Issuer shall cooperate with the Platform in its due diligence obligation pursuant to Regulation Crowdfunding. The Issuer agrees to promptly notify Platform in writing should any Disqualifying Events occur or prior Disqualifying Events come to the Issuer’s notice despite its reasonable efforts to discover.

 

Securities Products

The securities offerings posted on the Platform are only appropriate for sophisticated investors who are familiar with and willing to accept the high risks associated with private investments. Securities sold through Regulation Crowdfunding are not publicly traded and, therefore, are illiquid unless registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Additionally, securities are subject to restrictions on resale or transfer including holding period requirements. Investing in private placements requires high risk tolerance, low liquidity need, and long-term commitments. Users must be able to afford to lose their entire investment without a change in their lifestyle. Securities offered on the Platform are not FDIC insured, may lose value, and there is no guarantee of any success whatsoever.  The securities being offered have not been registered under the Securities Act, in reliance, among other exemptions, on the exemptive provisions of Regulation Crowdfunding. Similar reliance has been placed on apparently available exemptions from securities registration or qualification requirements under applicable state securities laws. No assurance can be given that any offering currently qualifies or will continue to qualify under one or more of such exemptive provisions due to, among other things, the adequacy of disclosure and the manner of distribution, the existence of similar offerings in the past or in the future, or a change of any securities law or regulation that has retroactive effect. Although the offering materials have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, no governmental agency has reviewed the offerings posted on this Platform and no state or federal agency has passed upon either the adequacy of the disclosure contained herein or the fairness of the terms of any offering. The exemptions relied upon for such offerings are significantly dependent upon the accuracy of the representations of the Users to be made to the Platform and Issuers on the Platform in connection with the offering, including compliance with investment limitations. In the event that any such representations prove to be untrue, the registration exemptions relied upon by an Issuer in selling the securities might not be available and substantial liability to such Issuer would result under applicable securities laws for rescission or damages. These risks are non-exhaustive and are intended to highlight certain risks associate with investing in securities that are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We strongly advise you to consult a legal, tax and financial professional before investing, and carefully review all the specific risk disclosures provided as part of any offering materials and ask the Issuer directly any questions or request any additional information through the Platform.

 

We take no part in the negotiation or execution of transactions for the purchase or sale of securities and at no time have possession of funds or securities. We cannot guarantee that Issuers on the Platform will use the proceeds of any offering in accordance with the stated purpose. Users acknowledge and agree that we make no representations, warranties or provide any assurances that the offering posted on the Platform are made in accordance with Federal and/or state securities law, including the exemption to the sale of unregistered securities, or the legality of any offerings therein. Regulation Crowdfunding only requires us to conduct limited due diligence on the offering and issuer. Platform is not engaged to serve as an underwriter or placement agent.

 

User Conduct Guidelines

Users are expressly prohibited from doing the following acts: (a) using the Platform, or any services and or tools if you are temporarily, or indefinitely, suspended from using the Platform, services or any tools; (b) collecting personal information about other Users; (c) interfering with other Users’ listings; (d) posting false, inaccurate, misleading, defamatory, or libelous content. Platform grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferrable license to view, copy and print content on the Platform for personal, non-commercial purposes.

The Platform allows registered Users to post publicly viewable messages regarding securities offerings posted on the Platform. This feature allows Users to communicate with other registered users regarding an offering as well as to ask the Issuer questions. We believe that providing a forum where prospective investors can share their views on the offering will enhance “crowd diligence” or the collective review by a group of prospective investors with the aim to better understand the terms of an offering and share their opinion. The message boards and forums we provide on the Platform are intended to allow information exchanges, and for Users to express their opinions in good faith.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, you acknowledge and agree that the Platform permits the posting of messages by Users only and such function may not be used by Users in connection with any commercial endeavors, including business solicitation of any type, including advertising a product or service, offering a product or service for sale, or directing readers to a location for more information about a product or service. User shall not post offensive, illegal, harmful, threatening or personally identifying content on or through the Platform, including the following types of content, as determined by Platform in its discretion that is (a) patently offensive content and/or content that may promote racism, bigotry, hatred or physical harm of any kind against any group or individual, (b) harasses or advocates harassment, (c) solicits personal information from another User, (d) promotes information that User know is false or misleading or conduct that is abusive, threatening, obscene, defamatory or libelous, offensive, fraudulent, unlawful, threatening, disingenuous, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic or profane, or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, gives rise to civil liability, or otherwise violates any law, (e) furthers or promotes any criminal activity or enterprise or provides instructional information about illegal activities, and/or (f) contradicts the purpose of permitting prospective investors to an offering to share concerns, ideas or personal opinions regarding a prospective offering. Issuer and Users agree that Platform shall not remove content which provide negative constructive criticism of an offering or an Issuer, including its management team, if done in good faith and in furtherance of crowd-diligence. Permitting or removing a post shall not be deemed an endorsement, adoption of the content or investment advice under any circumstances. Platform will retain a log content for the purposes of its books and records, investigations or for purposes of facilitating periodic reviews to ensure adherence to our policies. Platform will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing Platform to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials on the Platform.

 

If you believe that a message was posted in violation of these Terms of Use, please copy the text of the message into an email and submit to info@Andescfp.com. You agree that the Platform cannot and will not act as arbiter of disputes arising from third party communications or transmission to the Platform. Without limiting our rights or remedies, violations of any of the above rules may result in a warning notification, removal of offending content or termination of your account.

Dispute Resolution

 

Unless otherwise agreed to in writing with an Account holder, in the event of any claim, controversy or alleged dispute between you and Platform, its members or affiliates (“Dispute”), you hereby agree to attempt in good faith to amicably resolve any Dispute at least thirty (30) days before instituting any legal proceeding. Each party agrees to submit any Dispute for resolution by final binding arbitration after serving written notice, which notice shall set forth in detail the controversy, question, claim or alleged breach along with your attempt to resolve such Dispute. Upon such notice and attempt to resolve, the party may then commence an arbitration proceeding pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) to be held in the State of Illinois, before an arbitrator to be selected by the AAA. Any such arbitration may only be commenced within one year after the party requesting arbitration obtains knowledge of the cause of action forming the basis of the controversy or claim accrued.

In any arbitration and subject to the ultimate discretion of the presiding arbitrator, each side will be limited to a maximum of one (1) day of argument (including rebuttal), and the parties agree in good faith to minimize discovery burdens (e.g. confine the scope to actual areas in dispute and limit the topics and number of pages on which information is requested to matters directly relevant). The decision(s) of the arbitrator shall be final and binding and may not be appealed to any court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise, except upon claim of fraud or corruption as by law provided, provided, however, that implementation of such decision(s) shall in no way be delayed or otherwise impaired pending the outcome of any such appeal. Judgment upon the award rendered in such arbitration may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. You agree that all Disputes will be limited between you, individually, and Platform. To the full extent allowable by law, you agree that no arbitration proceeding or other dispute resolution proceeding shall be joined with any other party or decided on a class-action basis.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that the following matters shall not, at the election of Platform, be subject to binding arbitration: (1) any Dispute related to, or arising from allegations of criminal activity; (2) any Disputes concerning Platform’s intellectual property rights; and (3) any claim for injunctive relief.

Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act/Uniform Electronic Transactions Act

The Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (“ESIGN”) and similar state laws, particularly the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (“UETA”), authorize the creation of legally binding and enforceable agreements utilizing electronic records and signatures. ESIGN and UETA require businesses that want to use electronic records or signatures in consumer transactions to obtain the consumer’s consent to receive information electronically. When an Issuer or potential Investor registers on the platform, we obtain his or her consent to transact business electronically and maintain electronic records in compliance with ESIGN and UETA requirements. Your use of electronic signatures to sign documents legally binds you in the same manner as if you had manually signed such documents.

You are obligated to review the Platform periodically for changes and modifications and agree not to contest the admissibility or enforceability the Platform’s electronically stored copy of this Agreement in any proceeding arising out of this Agreement.

You may revoke consent to electronic delivery of communications and receive a paper version at your election. Platform shall have a reasonable period to effect such a change and Platform may charge you a reasonable fee for sending such paper copies. If you elect to use electronic delivery, you agree and represent that you have a suitable computer with Internet access, an email address and the availability to download, save and/or print communications to retain a record of such communications. You agree that you are solely responsible for maintaining such equipment and services required for online access.

 

Integration and Severability

The failure of Platform to enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Platform. These Terms of Use and other referenced materials are the entire agreement between you and Platform with respect to the Service, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communication and proposals (whether oral, written or electronic) between you and Platform with respect to the Service and govern the future relationship. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms of Use, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms of Use will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms of Use or otherwise. If for any reason a court or arbitral, as applicable, of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms of Use invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect and enforceable.

 

Miscellaneous

Except as expressly provided in these Terms of Use, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to the Terms of Use. Platform shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate any of its responsibilities under these Terms of Use to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, consolidation or reorganization of Platform for the sale of substantially all of its assets. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. You further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision. Our affiliates, officers, directors and members shall be deemed third party beneficiaries to these Terms of Use. These Terms of Use supersede any other Terms of Use prior to the date hereof.
