Investor and Issuer Qualifications

If you are an Investor, you represent and warrant that if you are an individual, at least 18 years old, and that all registration information you submit is accurate and truthful.

If you are using the Site on behalf of any entity, you represent and warrant that you are Authorised to accept this Agreement on such entity’s behalf, and that such entity agrees to indemnify AX Financial Services for violations of this Agreement.

If you are an Issuer you must expressly designate at least one natural person to act on your behalf as your Agent (“Agent”). We will only accept your instructions from your Agent. Your Agent must be one of your directors, officers or staff. You may have more than one Agent at any one time, and you may replace your Agent from time to time, by giving us written notice of your intention to do so.

Your status as an Investor or Issuer is personal to you and cannot be transferred or assigned in any way.

Private Placement of Securities

Securities listings on this Site are only suitable for Investors who are familiar with and willing to accept the high risk associated with private placement investments.

Securities sold through private placements are not publicly traded and, therefore, are less liquid than other securities. Investors may receive restricted units that may be subject to holding period requirements. Investors in equity Securities are highly unlikely to be paid dividends and their investment may be diluted through further funding rounds.

Securities offerings on AX Financial Services will target companies seeking private placement investments, which tend to be in earlier stages of development and have not yet been fully tested in the public marketplace. Investing in private placements requires high risk tolerance, low liquidity concerns, and long-term commitments. Investors may lose their entire capital investment and must be able to afford to do so.

The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. You should not rely on any past performance as a guarantee of future investment performance.

For those reasons, these offerings may be made available only to certified High Net Worth Individuals or Self-Certified Sophisticated Investors as defined by the Financial Services and Markets Act (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (SI 2005/1529) (the “FPO”).

As with all alternative investments, investors must meet certain eligibility tests to qualify as purchasers. You will provide to us information that we require, which you warrant to be truthful and accurate, in order that we can classify you as either a Certified High Net Worth Individual (within the meaning ascribed to that term by article 48 of the FPO) or a Self-Certified Sophisticated Investor (within the meaning ascribed to that term by article 50A of the FPO).You undertake and warrant that if you no longer fall into at least one of the categories above, you will give immediate written notice to AX Financial Services and you will not access, or try to access the, Service unless and until you fall into one or more of these categories again.

The contents of this Site do not constitute financial, legal, or tax advice. We carry out due diligence on Issuers to satisfy our statutory anti money laundering obligations. We do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the information or documents on the Website; and we do not expressly or impliedly recommend that you buy any, or any particular, securities that are available on the Website from time to time.

If you are an Investor, and you choose to invest in an Issuer’s Securities, you will be able to make a commitment to invest a certain amount on the Site which counts towards AX Financial Services’ allocated amount available for the overall investment. If the Allocation is filled and the investment goes ahead, you will be irrevocably bound to invest this amount unless the terms of the investment change materially.

AX Financial Services may charge the Investor and the Issuer fees related to individual investments, including but not limited to an arrangement fee (a percentage of the amount of investment raised), a listing fee (a fixed price per offer of Securities), an annual management fee (a percentage of the amount invested) and success fees (a proportion of the financial gain on realisation of an Investment, howsoever structured). These fees will be determined on a case by case basis and clearly laid out on the Site. By committing to invest, you are deemed to have accepted these fees and are irrevocably bound to pay them on demand.
