7. The Website and Services

Alta provides a social and meeting platform for crowdfunding on the Website. Entrepreneurs may submit the campaigns of their respective Companies to Alta through the Website in accordance with the conditions stated thereon, or otherwise communicated by Alta to the Entrepreneur, for such submissions. All crowdfunding campaigns shall be conducted in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreement(s) governing each such campaign. Alta is not and will not be acting in any capacity as a placement agent or a financial advisor for any potential transactions that take place, if any. Investors who participate in and Issuers who hold any campaign on the Website or through Alta understand and acknowledge that Alta does not assume any advisory, fiduciary, professional, or similar or other duties or act as any type of professional adviser to such Investor. No such Investor should rely on any information contained on the Website in making an investment or other decision. Alta assumes, and you agree that we are entitled to rely on the assumption, that every such Issuer or Investor has taken or will take the necessary independent legal, tax, financial, or other advice in connection with any activity in any campaign or on the Website.

Each crowdfunding campaign on the Website shall be conducted as an investment-based crowdfunding campaign, where Investors who are accredited investors or institutional investors (as defined in section 4A of the Securities and Futures Act (Cap.289)) (each, an “AI” or “II” respectively) may invest funds in Companies that have initiated a fundraising round on the Website by purchasing non-transferable Securities; convertible Securities; or equity issued by suchCompanies to the AI or II Members (the “Securities”) and receive a return in such form pursuant to such Securities as pre-defined by the relevant Company.

For the avoidance of doubt, Investment-based Crowdfunding campaigns may only be accessed by AIs or IIs. Investors who access our Investment-based Crowdfunding campaigns must confirm that they are either an AI or an II and provide such documentation and information as requested by Alta to verify such status prior to making any investment via any of the Investment-based Crowdfunding campaigns. Please note that AIs will additionally be sent a notice on the consequences of being treated as an AI, and must provide to Alta their acknowledgement of this and consent to such treatment, before they may be accepted as AIs. This is required under Singapore law as part of the conditions applicable to financial institutions in onboarding persons as AIs.

8. Operation of Website

Alta reserves the right to control the look and feel of the Website.

Alta shall be entitled to publish any notices or disclaimers on the Website at any time in connection with a User, Company profile, or fundraising campaign in the manner and to the extent deemed necessary by Alta at its sole discretion (such as for the purposes of our internal operational policies or any guidelines or regulations applicable to us).

Alta may, at its sole discretion, deny you access to the Website or Services for any reason, including if Alta believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with this Terms of Use, any of the other Website Agreements, or any other relevant agreement; or, if in Alta's opinion or the opinion of any regulatory authority, Alta is not suitable to continue providing you access to the Website or Services.

9. Member Materials

The Website may include content, information, text, graphics, logos, icons, images, sound clips, video clips, data compilations, or other materials submitted by Members for inclusion in or posting through theWebsite or Services (the “Member Materials”).

Alta neither endorses nor assumes any responsibility in respect of the Member Materials. The Members submitting their Member Materials: (i) are solely responsible for their Member Materials, including the truth, completeness, and accuracy thereof; (ii) warrant and represent that they have the right and authority to submit their Member Materials and that theirMember Materials do not infringe the intellectual property rights or any other rights of any third party; and (iii) hereby grant to Alta a non-exclusive, worldwide royalty-free, irrevocable licence and right to host, transmit, distribute, or use (which will include the right to copy, reproduce, or publish) the Member Materials in connection with the operation of the Website and the provision of the Services to Users and for the purposes such Members have instructed or requested of Alta.

Alta reserves the right to immediately remove any Member Materials or other content from the Website that Alta at its sole discretion deems to be in breach of this Terms of Use or any terms or conditions applicable to the Website or the Services; in breach or potential breach of any applicable law or regulation; or is or may be otherwise harmful for Alta or its Users.

10. Fundraising

Entrepreneurs seeking funds for their Companies may, subject to Alta's prior approval, list their respective Companies on the Website for fundraising purposes. Investment-based Crowdfunding will be undertaken in the form of Securities, which will be issued by the relevant Company.

Subject to Alta's approval in each case, a Company profile may be created or a campaign initiated to start a fundraising round by an Entrepreneur acting on behalf of the Company. The Company profile is for Investors to understand the Company’s business model. Company profiles are based on information provided by the Entrepreneur or Company to Alta, and Alta does not make any warranty as to the completeness or accuracy of any Company profile created with reference to such information. The fundraising round is an investment round during which binding offers may be made to contract for the fundraising product utilised by a Company.

All campaigns must not be for an illegal purpose and must not degrade, abuse, or offend any individual, entity, or class. Alta has the sole discretion to immediately cancel, interrupt, or suspend any campaign at any time, subject only to prior notice to the relevant Entrepreneur and Company. Such notice shall be deemed to have been provided when Alta sends an email to the email account the Entrepreneur provides to Alta, regardless of whether such email is actually received or seen by the Entrepreneur or the Company. A campaign may also be cancelled due to the relevant Entrepreneur, the Company, or the campaign violating this Terms of Use, any of the other Website Agreements, or any other relevant agreement. Alta does not make any warranty as to the truth, completeness, or accuracy of information which is part of any campaign.

The campaign shall be open for the maximum period of time set forth on the Website from time to time. Notwithstanding this, should the total amount of funds targeted by the Company to be raised through the sale of Securities (the “Target Amount”) be reached before the end of the time frame set for the campaign, the campaign may be closed automatically at the discretion of the relevant Entrepreneur (acting on behalf of the Company). Once the campaign has closed, Alta will remove the ability of AI or II Members to provide binding offers to purchase the Securities, though such campaign may still be visible to Members as an example of a former campaign.

During an investment-based crowdfunding campaign, an AI or II Investor may report its interest to contract into the fundraising by specifying the number of Securities that it would like to invest in. Only AI or II Investors may report interest in contracting into an investment-based crowdfunding campaign and make binding offers to contract for Securities.

The Company shall provide to all accepted AI or II Investors all documentation necessary for completing the investment. After a suitably qualified Investor wishes to make a binding offer to contract for Securities, such Investor shall, subject to the satisfactory completion of necessary ‘know-your-client’, anti‑money laundering, and countering the financing of terrorism checks, enter into the relevant binding agreement(s) for the transaction concerned (the “Transaction Agreement”). Each Transaction Agreement may be executed electronically or physically. Upon the execution of the required Transaction Agreement(s), the Investor shall arrange for the transfer of the monies for the purchase of the Securities to the prescribed bank account of the company.

Where a campaign successfully raises the Target Amount, the Company has the sole discretion to decide which offers to accept. The Company shall promptly issue the Securities under the terms of the relevant Transaction Agreement to the relevant Investors.

11. Alta as facilitator only

You agree that Alta is only a social and meeting platform for Members (i.e., both Entrepreneurs seeking funds for their Companies and Investors interested in funding Companies) and that Alta does not provide any advice (financial, tax, legal, or otherwise). Apart from certain general prerequisites such as the type of investment instrument and the type of investors, Alta does not at any time set the specific prerequisites for any campaign. Such specific prerequisites include, but are not limited to, the number of Investors that may be accepted, the number or value of Securities to be offered or sold, the valuation of any Company, and investment amount, and shall always be set by the Company.

With respect to investment-based crowdfunding campaigns, as an AI or II, you agree and are aware that any Subscription Agreement you enter into will be between the Company and yourself only. Alta will neither be a party to the Subscription Agreement nor collect or handle any Monies.

Any decision to contract for Securities is solely the decision of such Investor. Under no circumstances shall Alta be involved in or liable for the non-payment of any investment amount by any Investor or for any settlement process.

Each Transaction Agreement is an agreement entered into directly and only between the relevant Company and an Investor investing in a campaign. In no event shall Alta establish or be required to establish any Transaction Agreement with such an Investor.

12. Entrepreneurs and Companies

Alta has the right to deny access to any Company profile, campaign, the Website, or Services at any time and for any reason. Entrepreneurs agree, represent, and warrant that all the content, information, data, or materials provided for posting or distribution on or through the Website or Services or by Alta generally is true, complete, and accurate.

Entrepreneurs further represent and warrant that the Company possesses or has obtained all necessary rights and permissions for such content to be displayed and uploaded on the Website, and can demonstrate to Alta's full satisfaction upon request that the Company or Entrepreneur (i) owns or otherwise controls all rights to all content that is or will be so displayed or uploaded, or that content in such display or upload is in the public domain and (ii) where applicable, has full authority to act on behalf of any and all owners of any right, title, or interest in and to any content for purposes of such display or upload, or such use as contemplated by these Terms of Use.

Entrepreneurs agree to provide Investors with all information requested by Alta or as set forth on the Website from time to time. The relevant Entrepreneur (acting on behalf of the Company) further agrees to, without undue delay at the end of the Company’s campaign, accept or reject any binding offer to invest submitted by an Investor by sending a confirmation or rejection to that Investor via the Website. After closure of a campaign where the Target Amount is successfully raised in full, the relevant Entrepreneur (acting on behalf of the Company) undertakes to ensure that the Company issues the relevant Securities to the Investors in accordance with all applicable legislation and regulations and the terms of the relevant Transaction Agreements. Entrepreneurs (each acting on behalf of the relevant Company) are responsible for drafting and providing all documentation needed (including legally required documentation) for completing the campaign.

Alta has the right to, at any time and at its sole discretion, cancel, interrupt, or suspend any campaign subject only to providing prior notice to the relevant Entrepreneur and the Company. Such cancellation, suspension, or interruption may be required due to such reasons as a violation by the relevant Entrepreneur, Company, or campaign of any applicable legislation or regulation, this Terms of Use, or any other terms and conditions applicable to the Website or Services. Such prior notice shall be deemed to have been provided once Alta sends an email to the email address the Entrepreneur provides to Alta, regardless of whether such email is actually received or seen by the Entrepreneur or other representative of the Company.

Alta is not obliged to review such messages, and every Member is personally responsible for all messages the Member sends through the Services.

14. Liability and Indemnification

Users and Members

You represent, warrant, and fully understand and agree that the provision of the Website and the Services and any approval of any campaign by Alta are not: (i) an endorsement of any Company or Securities referred to in relation to the Services or on the Website; (ii) a representation that Alta has performed any due diligence on any such Company or Securities; or (iii) a representation by Alta that any information provided by the Entrepreneur or Company is complete, accurate, true, fair, and not misleading.

Alta is not responsible or liable for the accuracy and completeness of any such information and for the performance or outcome of any investment made by you after receipt of such information.

You acknowledge that you are aware that the Companies involved in the campaigns are often in a very early stage and are seeking financing to grow their business. You warrant that you are aware that investing in a campaign involves a high degree of risk, that a campaign may never be realised, and that all or parts of your investment may be lost. You agree that Alta shall not be liable for any transactions undertaken by you further to any campaign or the Services. The Securities offered by Companies may not be suitable for all Investors, and certain Members may not be eligible to participate in some or all of the campaigns featured on the Website. Investors should independently evaluate the Securities and, where necessary, seek advice from a financial advisor regarding the suitability of such items in light of their specific investment objectives, financial situation, and particular needs before making a commitment to purchase any such items. Members are advised to conduct their own evaluation and consult with their own legal, business, financial, tax, and professional advisers to determine the appropriateness and consequences of any investment in the Securities. Alta does not represent that any of its agents, nominees, directors, officers, or employees has any authority to advise Members, and Alta does not purport to advise Members on any investment contemplated or undertaken.

You agree that you are solely responsible for the use of the Services and any decision to invest in a campaign, and agree to be solely liable for all consequences arising therefrom.

15. General

Furthermore, you agree to fully indemnify and hold Alta and its related parties harmless from and against all claims, costs (including reasonable legal costs), damages, expenses, liabilities, and losses that Alta may sustain or incur, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of our having: made available the Website or Services to you; entered into the Website Agreements with you; enforced or attempted to enforce our rights under the Website Agreements; or acted upon any instructions which you may give in relation to the Website or Services, or any negligence, fraud, or misconduct on your part or your breach of any of the Website Agreements.

16. Disclaimer of liability

This Website may contain, or the Services may provide, links to other websites or content on the Internet that are owned or operated by third parties (collectively, “Third Party Content”).

The relevant Website Agreement shall continue in force as if such unlawful, invalid or unenforceable provision was severed from the same.

19. No Waiver
