By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, you must not use the Platform. We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time, with changes effective upon posting. Continued use of the Platform after changes constitutes acceptance.
3. Eligibility
The Investor Club is intended for sophisticated investors, wholesale investors, angel investors, venture capital firms, family offices, and other professional investors who meet eligibility criteria under Australian securities law, including sections 708(8) and 708(11) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
By registering, you represent and warrant that you qualify as a sophisticated or wholesale investor under the Corporations Act, or that you are seeking general information only and understand the risks associated with early-stage investing.
4. No Financial Advice
Neither Scalare Partners, Inhouse Ventures, nor Founders Union provides financial advice, investment recommendations, or advisory services. All information presented through the Platform is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute a financial product or service under the Corporations Act 2001.
You should seek independent professional advice from a licensed financial adviser before making any investment decisions. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Any financial projections, forecasts, or estimates presented by founders on the Platform are their own and have not been independently verified by us.
5. Platform Purpose & Introductions
The Platform facilitates introductions between investors and startups. We do not endorse, guarantee, or make any representations about the viability, financial standing, prospects, or suitability of any startup, founder, or investment opportunity listed on or introduced through the Platform.
All investment decisions are made solely by the investor at their own risk. We are not a party to any investment transaction and accept no responsibility for the outcome of any introduction or investment made through the Platform.
6. No Offer of Securities
Nothing on the Platform constitutes an offer, solicitation, or recommendation to buy, sell, or subscribe for any securities or financial products. Any investment opportunity presented through the Platform is provided by the relevant startup or issuer, not by us. You must conduct your own due diligence and satisfy yourself as to the merits and risks of any investment.
