you are doing so in compliance with all applicable laws;
all information provided is accurate, complete and up-to-date, and you will not omit to mention anything that may be material to an investor making a decision whether to invest in you or otherwise or to mislead an investor in any manner whatsoever; and
you shall be liable in damages accordingly for any costs or losses suffered by Crowdo or any of its directors, as a result of any such non-compliance or alleged non-compliance.
Change of Information. You agree to notify us should any of the details which you have provided to us have changed. This is particularly important for any change in email address, as email is the principal medium of communication from Crowdo to you.
Ceasing to be Eligible. You must inform us as soon as reasonably practicable if you cease to be eligible to be a Member or an Entrepreneur/ Issuer Member. If that happens, your membership will be suspended in accordance with Clause 12.3. If you later become eligible to be a Member or an Entrepreneur/ Issuer Member and inform us of this, your membership may be reinstated.
Foreign Investor. All Offers launched through the Platform are made within Malaysia. You should note, however, that foreign investors who are not residents in Malaysia are eligible to invest through the Platform, provided that they comply with all laws in their country of residence or from which they may access the Platform. Should you wish to restrict the investors who can invest in your business, you must set out such restrictions in your Offer.
Entrepreneur Membership. Upon execution of this Agreement, you will become an Entrepreneur Member under the Platform, and you will remain an Entrepreneur Member until and unless your membership is terminated or suspended in accordance with Clause 12.
Client. If and to the extent that you seek to raise capital through the Platform, you are our client, and we will treat you as our client for such capital raising effort.
No Advice. We do not provide advice with respect to any aspect of transactions conducted through the Platform, other than advice on the technical use of the Platform. This means, among other things, that we cannot give you any investment, legal, taxation or other advice in connection with your membership, and nothing on the Platform or in any communications we send to you is intended to constitute advice. If you need or want advice, you should consult an appropriate professional financial, legal, taxation or other adviser.

If we invest in you, our relationship will be as between shareholders.
Location of Activities. In executing this Agreement, you agree that all of the activities that we conduct with you take place within Malaysia. This means that you agree that our activities are subject only to the laws of Malaysia and not to the laws of any other country in which you may be physically present at any given time, and therefore that any redress you may seek from us in any circumstances must be sought under Malaysia law.

The Offer will stay active for a specified period of time, to be agreed between Crowdo and the Issuer Member.

When an Entrepreneur Member creates an Offer for a business as described in paragraph 7.1, the individual who signed up as an individual or on behalf of a corporate entity will be designated the "lead entrepreneur" with respect to that business. This means, among other things, that you will be the main contact person with respect to the Offer and you will be required to disclose certain information about yourself as part of the Offer process.

Our Review and Approval. The purpose of our review of your offer is to ensure the business meets the eligibility criteria described in paragraph 7.9. We may ask you to make modifications to the Offer or to submit additional evidence, and we may decide to not approve the Offer for any reason or no reason. Your and our rights and obligations with respect to the review and approval of an Offer will be as set forth in the relevant the relevant section of the Platform and this Agreement.

If the investment is completed, it will continue to be listed in the “Your Offer” section, and through that section you will be able to provide information and conduct certain activities on behalf of the business, all as set forth in the relevant Subscription Agreement.
Confidentiality and Appropriate Use of Offers. Offers are presented on the Platform in order for the investors to make their investment decisions and not for any other purpose. You may not use it in any way (a) to compete with or otherwise impede the success of the relevant company; or (b) to solicit employees, customers or suppliers of the companies, and if you do so we may bring an action against you for any damage you have ca used to our reputation, to our business or otherwise.
Escrow Arrangement. When Investors make an investment through the Platform, the investment funds will be placed in the Escrow Account pending completion of your fundraising or the expiry of the Offer. Before the launching of the Offer, you will be required to execute the Escrow Agreement in a form agreed between Crowdo and the Escrow Agent, and all the investment funds in the Escrow Account will be released to you after the Escrow Agent’s receipt of the written confirmation issued by Crowdo in accordance with terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement.

Failure to do so will result in a reversal of funds back to the contributing investor(s).
Cooling-off Period. The cooling-off period is 6 business days from the day we confirm the payment of your investment funds. During the cooling-off period, (a) investors are allowed to withdraw the investment funds and cancel the investment by notifying us; and (b) you are also allowed to reject such investment as well.
Material Adverse Changes. The following will constitute a Material Adverse Change:
the discovery of a false or misleading statement in the disclosure document in relation to the Offer;
the discovery of a material omission of information required to be included in the disclosure document;
there is a material change or development in the circumstances relating to the Offer and the Issuer; or
revision of valuation during or after close of the Offer period but before confirmation of success of fund raising and funds are transferred to you.
In the event of a Material Adverse Change, the investors will be given an opt-out option within 14 calendar days from the day that the investor receives email notification from us of the event of Material Adverse Change. In the event the 14th calendar day lands on a weekend or a public holiday, the opt-out option will last until the end of business (5pm UTC + 8) of the first following business day in Malaysia.
If the Material Adverse Change (a) happens less than 14 calendar days before the expiry date of the Offer period; or (b) happens after the closing of the Offer period but before the our decision whether to continue with the fund raising, confirmation of success of fund raising and funds are transferred to you (as the case may be, which we will determine at our discretion), the participating investors will be immediately notified and the Offer period will be extended by 14 calendar days in the case of (a), and our decision whether to continue with the fund raising, the confirmation of success of fund raising and funds transfer to you (as the case may be, which we will determine at our discretion) will be delayed for a further 14 calendar days from the date of notification in case of (b). In the event we decide not to proceed with the fundraising, the investors' investments will be refunded in accordance with Clause 7.8.
Payment of all taxes is entirely your responsibility, and save as required by Malaysian law we will not deduct or withhold any taxes for you or provide you with any statements or information with respect to your tax liability.

Privacy Notice. You are agreeable to the terms of our Privacy Notice. As set out in our Privacy Notice, we may from time to time need to disclose personal data provided to us by you to government agencies, including potentially the SC and the Central Bank of Malaysia.
Information on the Platform. In addition to the information set forth in each Offer, we may provide on the Platform information about investing in or operating early-stage businesses generally or other matters that we believe may be relevant or of interest to you. We refer to this as “additional information”. None of the additional information, including information about historical returns, can be relied on as a guarantee or indication of any particular result and the additional information does not constitute any form of advice, recommendation or endorsement by us. We cannot assure you that any additional information is complete, accurate, and up-to-date or error free and we will not be liable to you for any loss, damages or costs if it is not. To the extent that any additional information constitutes links to their websites or third-party contact details, we take no responsibility for the availability or accuracy of such websites or contact details or the acts of such third parties.
Communications about Platform Activity. From time to time we may send you emails with information about activity on the Platform, including new Offers and the progress of existing ones. Any emails we send you about activity on the Platform do not constitute advice or a recommendation to invest. From time to time we may also send you emails with respect to your membership, our business, this Agreement or other matters that we reasonably believe are relevant to you. We will do our best to ensure that these emails are relatively infrequent, but we may send you such emails at our discretion.
Period of Retention. In accordance with legal and regulatory requirements, we will retain the records relevant to your membership and any activity you conducted on the Platform for a minimum period of seven years following the termination of your membership pursuant to Clause 12. This period may be extended or reduced by force of law, regulatory requirement or by the mutual consent of you and us.
No Request for Deletion. You will not be able to request the destruction or deletion of any of the records relevant to your membership and any activity you conducted on the Platform unless we are required to destroy or delete them by force of law or other regulatory requirement.
Conclusive Evidence. The records of the Platform kept by us shall be conclusive evidence of the facts and matters they purport to record.
We do our best to ensure that our interests do not conflict with yours, and we have deliberately designed our fee structure so that we primarily make money when you succeed in raising capital. Nevertheless, as a platform provider we are not your representative or agent, and at times our interest may conflict with yours. You should note that once an investment has been completed, we will sometimes be serving as the [directors of the public company held by the investors] and will therefore be acting on behalf of investors in our relations with you.
We may from time to time decide to invest in the Issuer. Our investment in the Issuer’s Offer is subject to a cap of 30% of the controlling shares in the Issuer and such investment will be disclosed on the Offer-dedicated webpage for all participating Investors to view.
We will notify you as soon as possible after we have taken a decision to cease to trade, and at that stage all active Offers will be terminated and any amounts contained in the Account will be returned to your nominated account without any interest and after deduction of any transaction fee(s) and/ or exchange rate loss. The shares/ interests in which you have invested will be handled as set forth in the relevant Articles of Association of the respective Issuer.
