Terms of Use / Privacy Policy

Please Read Carefully

1. Terms of Use

a. Summary- These Terms of Use (“Agreement”) should be read carefully before using the services offered by FNEX, LLC and those of its subsidiaries and affiliates, including FNEX CAPITAL, LLC (collectively referred to as “FNEX”), or accessing the websites of FNEX or those of its subsidiaries and affiliates. This Agreement sets forth the legally binding terms and conditions for your use of the website at www.fnex.com (the “Site”) and the services owned and operated by FNEX (the “Service”). Usage of the Site or Service in any manner constitutes acceptance of this Agreement and any other rules, policies or procedure present on the site. This Agreement and additional rules, policies and procedures will be updated. These updates are hereby incorporated by reference. Use of this site is governed by the most recently published Agreement and applicable rules, policies and procedures. No notice will be provided upon publishing of an updated Agreement. This Agreement applies to all users of the Site and Service. If you do not agree to all the terms of this Agreement and/or FNEX’s Privacy Policy, you are not eligible to participate in FNEX’s Service or otherwise use this Site.

b. Investor Qualifications- Offerings on the Site are available only to Accredited Investors. FNEX follows the definition of Accredited Investor found in SEC Regulation Rule D. Some offerings may not be available to all Accredited Investors. By using this Site, you certify that you are an Accredited Investor or an advisor to Accredited Investors. By using this Site, you verify that you are legally capable of forming a binding contract and that all the information you submit is accurate and truthful. By completing an investment you certify that you are qualified for that investment and the investment is suitable considering your financial needs and investment criteria. You hereby acknowledge that FNEX may receive a fee from the Issuer or Selling Parties for any offering you access through the platform. If you are using the Site on behalf of any such entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to accept this Agreement on the entity’s behalf, and that such entity agrees to indemnify FNEX for violations of this Agreement.

c. Securities Products- Offerings on this Site are only suitable for prospective investors who are familiar with, fully comprehend and are willing to accept high risk. Securities sold through private placements are not publicly traded and, therefore, are less liquid. Additionally, Investors may receive restricted stock that may be subject to holding period requirements and other restrictions on resale. Companies seeking private placement investments tend to be in earlier stages of development and thus have not yet been fully tested in the public marketplace. Investing in such private placements requires high risk tolerance, low liquidity concerns, and long-term commitments. For those reasons, Investors must be able to afford to lose their entire investment. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise. Past performance is not a guarantee of future performance. The contents of this Site do not constitute financial, legal or tax advice. Investors are solely responsible for conducting any legal, accounting or due diligence review. You should obtain investment and tax advice from your advisers before deciding to invest. Investment products are not FDIC insured, may lose value, and there is no bank guarantee.

The information contained in the Site has been prepared without reference to any particular User’s investment requirements or financial situation.

Referral Fee Terms

These Referral Fee Terms constitute a legal agreement between you, as the user of the FNEX.com Website, and FNEX, LLC, as the owner of the Website. Throughout these Referral Fee Terms we will refer to you as “you”, and we will refer to FNEX, LLC as “we”, “us” or “FNEX”.

1. Application

These Referral Fee Terms set out the terms on which we intend to pay you fees for referring new users to FNEX. They apply to you as soon as you first use the Website, and you are deemed to have agreed to be bound by them upon your first use of the Website. If you do not wish to continue to be bound by these Referral Fee Terms, please stop using the Website now.

2. Relationship to Other Agreements

In addition to these Referral Fee Terms, our Confidentiality terms and Terms of Use apply to you and everyone else who uses the Website. A Privacy notice also sets out details of how your personal data will be used. Together, these are the “Website Agreements”.

During the course of your use of the Website, you are bound by these Website Agreements. If you wish to join FNEX as a member, you will need to agree to the Website Agreements which set out the substantive terms that govern your relationship with us when you make use of our Website.

With respect to our Referral Fees:

You cannot refer yourself;

You cannot refer a person that is an existing or past member or client with FNEX or FNEX Capital in any capacity;

FNEX reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to decline services to a referred party at any time;

FNEX may discontinue its Referral Program at any time and will not be liable for any loss of income or further referral fees;

FNEX may decline a referral at any time without giving a reason;

In the event of conflicting referrals, FNEX reserves the right to determine who receives the credit for such referrals;

You are not permitted, under any circumstances, to represent that you are acting on behalf of FNEX or that you have the authority to enter in any agreement on behalf of FNEX;

Referral fees will be paid, based upon these terms, quarterly; and

Referral Fees are ONLY paid upon the first investment by a referred party. Subsequent investments by a referred party are not eligible for a Referral Fee.

3. Structure of Referral Fees

From time to time, we may have in place arrangements by which we pay you referral fees for referring investors or businesses to FNEX.

Currently, we have one type of referral fee arrangement in place:

$1000 Referral Fee: this referral fee is paid to you when you, as a FNEX member, (a) refer a new investor to www.FNEX.com with a link provided on the Website, AND (b) the new investor uses this referral link to sign up for the FNEX.com platform AND (c) that new investor makes an investment with FNEX. Upon the occurrence of all three of these actions a Referral Fee will be paid directly to you by check. Referral Fees are ONLY paid on the first investment by a referred party. Subsequent investments by a referred party are not eligible for a Referral Fee.

Our Referral Fees are subject to change or be withdrawn at any time and entirely at our discretion. Such changes may impact the fees payable in respect of referrals you have already made. Any new referral fee system will be described on one or more pages of the Website or in another form of notice to you. All referral fees will be paid gross of any tax you may be required to pay.

4. Identification and Regulatory Requirements

We will generally pay your referral fees to you at the time the relevant investment transaction is completed. However, we may require you to pass anti-money laundering checks or other identification checks, or to satisfy other regulatory requirements, and we may decline to pay you any referral fees until and unless you have done so. If you do not pass such checks or satisfy such requirements within a reasonable period of time, we may cancel your referral fees.

5. Exceptions

Our referral fee system is intended to encourage you to refer genuinely new investors to FNEX. We therefore reserve the right to refuse to pay referral fees in respect of an individual or business that is directly connected with you. That may include an immediate family member or a company which you control, but it may also include other relationships where we believe that payment of referral fees would not be consistent with the purpose of this system. The determination as to whether to refuse to pay referral fees will be made entirely at our discretion.

6. Severability

However, in the event that any of these provisions are found to be unlawful, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, that provision is to be deemed severed from these Referral Fee Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining Referral Fee Terms. This clause on “Severability” shall apply only within jurisdictions where a particular term is illegal.

7. No Waiver

In the event that either you or we fail to exercise any right or remedy contained in these Referral Fee Terms, that does not mean you or we (as applicable) have waived that right or remedy and so shall not be construed as a waiver.

8. Revisions

From time to time we may update these Referral Fee Terms to take account of changes in the law or for any other reason. If we update these Referral Fee Terms, we will post a new version on the Website, and as soon as you use the Website after they are posted, you will be deemed to have agreed to the updated version, but you will still be bound by the terms of any previous versions to which you have agreed or been deemed to agree. If there is a conflict between two versions of the Referral Fee Terms to which you have agreed or been deemed to agree, the more recent version shall take precedence unless it is expressly stated otherwise.

9. Communications

If you wish to communicate with us about anything related to these Referral Fee Terms, you may do so by sending an email to info (at) FNEX.com.

10. Choice of Law

These Referral Fee Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Indiana.

11. Jurisdiction

You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts Marion County, Indiana. This means that if you want to bring a legal action against us, or we want to bring a legal action against you, it must be done in one of these courts.

12. Definitions

We have used a few capitalized terms in this agreement, which means that they have specific definitions. In some cases the definition is set out when they are first used, but in a few cases we give the meaning below instead.

This Agreement is mutually binding upon the Parties as to each provision. Hereinafter, for purposes of this Agreement the term “Company” shall refer to the party furnishing certain confidential information and “you” shall refer to the party that received or will receive from the Company certain confidential information.

As a condition of being furnished that information, you shall treat any and all information concerning the Company (whether prepared by the Company, its advisors or otherwise, and whether written or oral) which has been or will be furnished to you by or on behalf of the Company or any affiliate thereof whether in writing or oral, or whether received directly or indirectly, (collectively “Confidential Information”) in accordance with the provisions of this confidentiality agreement and shall take or abstain from taking certain other actions herein set forth. The term “Confidential Information” does not include information which (i) is already in your possession (other than information previously furnished to you by the Company or any affiliate thereof), provided that such information is not known by you to be subject to another confidentiality agreement with or other obligation of secrecy to the Company, or (ii) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by you or your directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors, representatives, lenders and others associated with you (collectively “Representatives”), or (iii) becomes available to you on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or its advisors, provided that such source is not known by you to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other obligation of secrecy to the Company, or (iv) is independently developed by you. Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be generally available to the public or in the public domain merely because any part of any Confidential Information is embodied in general disclosures or because individual features, components, or combinations thereof are now known or become known to the public.

Without limitation, the term “Confidential Information” includes (i) financial statements, financial data and financial information regarding the Company, its financial conditions and the results of its operations, (ii) Company’s materials, reports, plans, analyses, financial projections, documents, drawings, machines, writings, samples, studies, compilations, tools, models, devices, business plans, strategies, customer information, marketing and proposal information, financial and rate information, personal information, and the terms and provisions of the Company’s leases, (iii) the tax returns of the Company, and (iv) all analyses, compilations, excerpts, forecasts, summaries, studies, or other documents prepared by you or your Representatives which contain or relate to information about the Company and/or your interest in the Company.
