At the time of reviewing an Application, InvestaX may assess if the Issuer or Issuer Obligors fulfill the Indicative Eligibility Criteria either alone or in combination.

InvestaX also reserves the right to vary any such condition(s) or impose additional conditions.

A Relevant Investor is required to pre-fund/transfer the investment amount through wire transfer or any other banking channels into the account tagged to such Relevant Investor.

Under that agreement, the Trust Account is a master account maintained by the Bank as a trust account pursuant to its obligations under the SFA; and (i) all moneys deposited in the Trust Account are held on trust for InvestaX’s customers and the Bank cannot exercise any right of set-off against the moneys for any debt owed by InvestaX to the Bank; and (ii) the Trust Account is designated as a customer's account, which shall be distinguished and maintained separately from any other account in which InvestaX deposits its own moneys.

14. Investor Assets - Custody Provisions

Investors understand that when making an Investment into a Deal listed on the InvestaX Primary Platform, their Security Tokens could be held in custody by them either (i) directly; in a digital wallet set up and used by the Investor independently of its Agreement with InvestaX (“Self Custody”), or (ii) through a segregated custody account provided by a third party custodian (“Third Party Custody”). An Investor may either choose Self Custody or Third Party Custody. InvestaX may screen the digital wallet addresses provided by an Investor for Self Custody. Only a whitelisted digital wallet can be used for Self Custody.

To provide Third Party Custody, InvestaX has entered into certain arrangements with a licenced Securities Custodian. Investors will also have to acknowledge and agree to a Custody Agreement. If an Investor wishes to avail of Third Party Custody services provided on InvestaX Platform, the Investor will have to pay the standard custody fees at the rate notified by InvestaX, from time to time.

The Third Party Custody services provided by the Securities Custodian will allow each Investor to hold their Security Tokens in a segregated custody wallet of such Investor with the Securities Custodian and to withdraw supported Security Tokens from the Investor’s segregated custodial wallet, in each case, pursuant to instructions that the Investor provides the Securities Custodian through InvestaX (each such transaction is a "Custody Transaction"). The Security Tokens are held in custody pursuant to the Custody Agreement. The Securities Custodian is the legal owner of the Security Tokens and holds it for the benefit of the Relevant Investors. InvestaX is only an intermediary between the Securities Custodian and Relevant Investor and is hereby authorized by the Relevant Investor to give all directions, instructions notices, requests, instructions, and undertake any administrative functions any other communications is respect of the Security Tokens custodized with the Securities Custodian.

The Securities Custodian does not provide investment, tax, or legal advice, nor does it broker transactions.

All deposit and withdrawal transactions are executed based on the instructions given by InvestaX on behalf of the Relevant Investor and Relevant Investor is solely responsible for determining whether any investment, investment strategy, or related transaction involving the Security Tokens or any digital assets is appropriate for the Relevant Investor based on its own investment objectives, financial circumstances, and risk tolerance.

InvestaX reserves the right to appoint a different entity as the Securities Custodian subject to such entity being qualified and eligible to deliver the custody services that are necessary and/or incidental to the Security Tokens without the need for any consent, authorisation or further act from the Relevant Investor. InvestaX shall notify each Relevant Investor of any new Securities Custodian.

Deals are made available on the Restricted Portion of the Website for the Investors to evaluate and they may be required to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement prior to viewing the documents related to any Deal.

Subject to InvestaX’s approval in each case, which approval shall be in InvestaX’s sole discretion, an Issuer may start fundraising for a Deal on the Website. The details of the Deal are meant for the Investor’s information and InvestaX does not provide any warranty as to the accuracy, truth and completeness of an Issuer’s Deal. InvestaX may also undertake (which may include social media reach-outs, reach-outs to targeted investors, marketing campaigns like ask-me-anything sessions etc.) on behalf of the Issuer. An Investor may make an offer in respect of a Deal and such offer shall be subject to the approval of the Issuer. All Deals are open on the Website for a maximum period i.e. from Listing Date to Closing date (“Fundraising Period”) which are specified by the Issuer on the Website. However, if the funds are raised before the Closing Date the Issuer may choose to close the Deal at its sole discretion. Investors may put in their offers for a Deal by specifying the number of Security Tokens, the purchase amount and the custody solution they would like. In the event that the offer is accepted by the Issuer, the Relevant Investors may be required to sign a subscription document and any other document to complete the investment. On the Closing Date, InvestaX shall release the funds to the Issuer and the Security Tokens would be transferred to the digital wallet of the Investor for either self Custody or to the Third Party Custody as opted by the Investor.

InvestaX does not guarantee that a Deal will be funded or successful, or that a Deal will remain open for funding for any guaranteed amount of time. A Deal may be terminated or cancelled at the discretion of the Issuer, or by InvestaX for violation of these Terms of Use or the Engagement Agreement, or for any reason and at any time by providing prior notice to the Issuer, if it is terminated by InvestaX. If a Deal is cancelled at any time before the Closing Date, all funds committed by the Relevant Investors shall be returned to the Relevant Investors.

InvestaX will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Issuers provide regular updates to the Relevant Investors regarding any ongoing Deals. In the event of a default on a Deal, InvestaX will continue to facilitate communications between the Relevant Investors and Issuers and assist Relevant Investors with different recovery options, provided; however, all costs (if any) in connection with any such recovery efforts shall be borne by the Relevant Investors.

Issuers are obligated to provide ongoing administration and communicate directly with the Relevant Investors who have invested into their Deals in the event of cessation of the InvestaX business. All Registered Users will have the opportunity to download all documents and files stored on the InvestaX Platform and will be provided adequate notice prior to cessation of business.

Any decision to invest in a Deal is solely the decision of the Investor. Under no circumstances shall InvestaX be involved in or liable for the non-payment of any investment amount by any Relevant Investor or for any settlement process. InvestaX accepts no responsibility for any failure by an Investor to successfully make a specific investment as a result of any incorrect or incomplete payment submitted by the Investor or any non-receipt of committed funds into the virtual account during the Funding Period (for example, where funds are sent by bank wire transfer and do not arrive in time). Any funds committed pursuant to a Deal that arrive in the Investor’s account after the end of the Funding Period will be returned. No interest will be payable on any amounts held in the account.

Any funds paid into a Trust Account by an Investor by bank wire transfer and subsequently returned or withdrawn, will be repaid to the same bank account from which they were originally sent.

You will also be given the opportunity to unsubscribe from commercial messages in any such email we send to you.

31. Electronic Transactions And Disclosures

Some of the Services we provide allow you to transact business online and electronically. As a Registered User, you consent to transact business with us online and electronically, provided that such transactions are permitted under applicable law in the jurisdiction where you reside. You also expressly consent to receiving calls and messages, including auto-dialed and pre-recorded message calls, and SMS messages (including text messages) from us, our affiliates, marketing partners, agents and others calling at their request or on their behalf, at any telephone numbers that you have provided or may provide in the future (including any cellular telephone numbers). Your cellular or mobile telephone provider will charge you according to the type of plan you carry.

As part of doing business with InvestaX, you must also consent to our giving you certain disclosures electronically, either via our Website or to the email address you provide to us. By agreeing to the Terms of Use, you agree to receive electronically all documents, communications, notices, contracts, and agreements, including tax forms, schedules or information statements, arising from or relating to your registration as an Investor on our Website, any investments you may make, your use of this Service, and the servicing of any investment you may make (each, a “Disclosure”), from InvestaX or any service provider either of us may use.

If you have no outstanding investments made through the Website and wish to withdraw consent to doing business electronically, we will terminate your Account with us.

32. Forks

Software protocols governing a Digital Asset can experience sudden changes in operating rules that are outside InvestaX’s control (each change being a “Fork”). A Fork can have a material change on the operation, functionality, value or even name of a Digital Asset. If a Fork occurs, it may result in the creation of a new Digital Asset (“New Asset”) which is related to an existing Digital Asset (“Previous Asset”). Therefore, Forks may result in multiple versions of a Digital Asset and each version could have a very different, and possibly lower, value than before the Fork.

If a Fork occurs, each User understands, acknowledges and agrees that InvestaX may temporarily suspend the operations of the InvestaX Platform while InvestaX determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, whether to support the New Asset, the Previous Asset, or both, and InvestaX shall have the right to continue such suspension for such length of time as InvestaX deems necessary to make such a determination.

InvestaX may, in its sole and absolute discretion: (a) obtain and retain the New Asset as InvestaX’s own property; or (b) recall and burn Previous Assets and make the New Assets available to Users according to each User’s corresponding holdings of the Previous Asset at the time of the Fork, subject to the withholding and retention of reasonable compensation by InvestaX for the cost of making the New Assets available to Users (at InvestaX’s sole and absolute determination). For the avoidance of doubt, Users have no right to any New Asset.

Each User agrees that InvestaX is not responsible or liable to any User and any User shall hold InvestaX harmless in respect of any losses or damages (including lost profits) which may occur as the result of a change in the underlying software protocol of a Digital Asset, a Fork, InvestaX’s determination to support or not support any particular Fork or modified software protocol, and any suspension to the InvestaX Platform while InvestaX makes such determination.

33. User Disputes
