(c) upon the successful completion by a Registered User of all the above steps and any further necessary steps, as may be determined by InvestaX, InvestaX may, at its sole discretion, approve the Registered User such that the Registered User shall thereafter be deemed an Approved Registered User and/or Investor, and be permitted access to the Restricted Portion.
Each Approved Registered User shall:
(a) maintain the security of their Approved Registered User Account, password and identification (if any);
(b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data, if any and any other information provided to InvestaX as an Approved Registered User; and
(c) be fully responsible for all use of the Approved Registered User’s Account and for any actions that take place using the Account.

Therefore, InvestaX recommends that Investors change their passwords from time to time, maintain the confidentiality of their respective username and passwords, and refrain from disclosing their passwords to anyone.
InvestaX also asks that Investors notify InvestaX immediately upon any suspicion that the Investor’s Account has been misappropriated or that that Investor’s password has been compromised.
Any Investor can terminate the Investor’s Account registration at any time by contacting InvestaX at support@investax.io.
08. Investor's Representations and Warranties
The securities laws applicable to private company finance are complicated and unclear in many jurisdictions, but are intended to protect unsophisticated people from making bad investments. Our Website is intended for “accredited investors”, “institutional investors” and “expert investors” (as defined under the SFA) who understand risk and are willing to bear the consequences, which may involve losing your entire investment. InvestaX may, in its sole discretion and without liability, refuse to offer the Services to any person or entity and change its eligibility criteria at any time.
If an Investor is a natural person, the Investor represents and warrants:
(a) the Investor is at least the age of majority in the Investor’s jurisdiction, and understands and is willing to bear the risks associated with investing into any Investment, which may involve losing all of the Investor’s funds. However, if the Investor resides in a state, country or other jurisdiction that requires a higher minimum age or criteria for the Investor’s use of the Website or participation in the Services, the Investor must comply with the Applicable laws and Regulations in that jurisdiction;
(b) the Investor has a working knowledge of the usage and intricacies of Digital Securities, and cryptographic and blockchain-based systems; and
(c) the Investor is not an undischarged bankrupt.
If an Investor is using the Website and/or the Services on behalf of a legal entity, the Investor represents and warrants that:
(a) such legal entity understands and is willing to bear the risks associated with investing into any Investment, which may involve losing all of such legal entity’s funds;
(b) such legal entity has a working knowledge of the usage and intricacies of Digital Securities, and cryptographic and blockchain-based systems;
(c) such legal entity is not the subject of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy or any voluntary or involuntary proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership or liquidation or contemplating ceasing its business;
(d) the Investor has the right and/or authority to make such representations and/or warranties on behalf of such legal entity; and
(e) the Investor may have to submit documents to show that the Investor has the authority to enter into agreements on behalf of a legal entity.
Furthermore, each Investor represents and warrants that all Registration Data the Investor submits to InvestaX is true and accurate.
09. Issuer and Applicant Approval
To become an Issuer or an Applicant, a Registered User will be required to fill out the requisite forms, which includes providing Registration Data such as personal, financial, tax information, and pass the KYC/AML process. Upon the successful completion by a Registered User of all the above steps and any further necessary steps, as may be determined by InvestaX, InvestaX may, in its sole and absolute discretion, approve the Registered User such that the Registered User shall thereafter:
(a) be deemed an Approved Registered User and Issuer, provided that the Approved Registered User and Issuer executes an agreement with InvestaX; or
(b) be deemed an Approved Registered User and Applicant, and permitted to submit a Listing Application to InvestaX to list such Applicant’s Digital Securities on the IX Exchange.
10. Issuer Offering Forms
Any prospective Issuer seeking to list a proposed Offering may be required to submit certain Offering Forms and documents to InvestaX. InvestaX shall, at its absolute discretion, review any such Offering Forms and documents by assessing if the Issuer fulfills the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements either alone or in combination, but:
(a) the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements are not exhaustive and InvestaX may impose additional requirements via any Additional Agreement entered into between InvestaX and Issuer, including but not limited to an Engagement Agreement; and
(b) compliance with the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements may not of itself ensure the suitability of the Offering for Listing on the Restricted Portion. While the size of an Issuer is important, greater emphasis is placed on factors such as the integrity of the management and the controlling shareholder(s) of the Issuer, an Issuer’s relative stability, an Issuer’s reputation and the quality of the Offering set out in the Offering Forms and documents submitted by the Issuer. In reviewing any such Offering Forms, InvestaX may contact the Issuer to understand the Issuer’s requirements and the details of the proposed Offering.
InvestaX has the sole and absolute discretion at any time to:
(a) modify the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements;
(b) consider all relevant circumstances in determining whether an Issuer satisfies the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements in respect of an Offering; and/or
(c) waive compliance in respect of all or any requirements mentioned in the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements. Upon review of any Offering Forms and documents, InvestaX may, as it deems appropriate, enter into any Additional Agreements with the Issuer for the purposes of listing the Offering.
11. Verification of Registration Data
Upon creation of an Account, and from time to time thereafter, the Registration Data a User submits for registering with InvestaX will be subject to verification, screening and monitoring, including, but not limited to, validation against third-party public and private databases or the verification of identity documents or any official government or legal documents confirming User’s identity, address, source of funds or ability to act on behalf of a legal entity, verification of corporate appointments and directorships.
Each User authorises InvestaX, directly or indirectly, through third parties, to conduct any verification of the Registration Data which may be deemed necessary by InvestaX, including to establish the User’s identity and location, accreditation status and to confirm the User’s ownership of the User’s digital wallet (if any), subject to the Applicable Laws and Regulations.
All Investments are subject to customer due diligence checks and onboarding, which include KYC/AML checks. InvestaX is required to obtain, verify and record information which may include information that identifies natural persons, ultimate beneficial owners for legal entities and source of funds prior to allowing any Approved Registered User to participate in any Investment. Such Approved Registered User may be required to update such information and any Registration Data from time to time.
If an Approved Registered User’s Account has been involved in any fraud or crime or violation of any laws and regulations, or has been accessed unlawfully, or is otherwise involved in suspicious activity, then InvestaX reserves the right to investigate any such suspicious activity and to request documentation to confirm authenticity and accuracy of any Registration Data the Approved Registered User provided to InvestaX. The Approved Registered User’s Account may be restricted, closed or frozen while the investigation is pending.
Any Registration Data the User is required to provide InvestaX during the Account registration and approval process will be handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
12. Enhanced Due Diligence
InvestaX may, in its sole and absolute discretion and at any time, require any User to submit additional information, documents and/or records about the User or the entity on whose behalf the User acts, or provide information about the User’s key management personnel, beneficial owners and/or directors (collectively, “Enhanced Due Diligence”).

InvestaX conducts due diligence prior to any Offering, Listing or Trading on the Restricted Portion. However, InvestaX does not make any representations or warranties to any Users in respect of any such due diligence and InvestaX shall not be held liable for any errors, insufficiency, omissions or any inaccurate, misleading or false information contained in any such due diligence.
In order to make any Investment, each Investor accepts and acknowledges the following:
(a) Investment opportunities are made available on the Restricted Portion for the Investors to evaluate. Prior to making an Investment decision, the Investor should make the Investor’s own determination of the accuracy, adequacy, completeness and reliability of the information and materials available on the Website, perform the Investor’s own due diligence and seek advice from an independent legal, tax or financial advisor, where necessary, to determine the suitability and appropriateness of the Investment;
(b) The Investor is responsible for undertaking the Investor’s own independent investigation and assessment of all Investment opportunities, and the independent verification of any information provided through the Website;
(c) The Investor has made all necessary inquiries in respect of the relevant Digital Securities, including, but not limited to, their nature and objective, their key benefits and risks, their key rights and obligations, the ease of liquidating the Digital Securities, the commitment required, pricing, the fees and charges to be borne by the Investor, and any applicable charges or restrictions on withdrawal, surrender, buy back or redemption of the Digital Securities;
(d) The Investor shall be solely responsible, to the exclusion of InvestaX, for any and all of the Investor’s tax obligations that may arise from the Investor’s use of the Website;
(e) The Investor is financially and technically sophisticated enough to understand the inherent risks associated with using cryptographic and blockchain-based systems, and the Investor has a working knowledge of the usage and intricacies of Digital Securities, including that:
(i) blockchain-based transactions are irreversible;
(ii) markets for Digital Securities are highly volatile due to factors such as adoption, speculation, technology, security, thefts, fraud, loss of Digital Securities, digital wallets and/or private keys, and regulation;
(iii) the cost and speed of transacting with cryptographic and blockchain-based systems are variable and may increase dramatically at any time; and
(iv) Digital Securities may lose some or all of their value while they are invested through the InvestaX Platform, through the fluctuation of prices or volatility in the market.
(f) The Investor may be required to agree to certain disclosures before being allowed to make any Investment;
(g) The Investor is fully aware of the risks involved in any Investment. The Investor shall not make any Investment if the Investor does not understand the risks of such an Investment. Any Investment made by the Investor is at the Investor’s own risk;
(h) InvestaX shall not be liable for any loss, damage or liability which the Investor may incur in respect of any Investments made through InvestaX Platform;
(i) The InvestaX Platform is dependent on the availability of telecommunication and internet access. Therefore, the Investor accepts the risk of any failure of access to an internet network due to local, hardware and/or software issues. InvestaX shall not be responsible for any communication failures, technical disruption, errors, or delays, howsoever caused, which the Investor may experience when making Investments on the InvestaX;
(j) InvestaX shall not be liable for any act or omission of the Investor which causes any default, failure or cessation of any Investment, including but not limited to any incorrect or incomplete payment or transfer of Funds by the Investor. InvestaX accepts no responsibility for any such act or omission of the Investor;
(k) There may be resale restrictions applicable to a Digital Securities in respect of an Investment, which the Investor is required to and deemed to have knowledge of;
(l) Any document or material in connection with any Investment does not constitute an offer or solicitation by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is not authorized or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation;
(m) Participation in any Investment will be subject to the specific terms of that Investment. InvestaX makes no representation or warranty that any Investment will take place, or that if it takes place, that any Investor will be allowed to participate; and
(n) InvestaX reserves the right to discontinue any Investment activity at any time and in its sole and absolute discretion. In such circumstances, Investors shall not have any right, claim or cause of action in any way whatsoever against InvestaX in relation to such discontinuation.
Each Investor acknowledges that he/she/it is fully aware of the risks involved in undertaking any Investment, including but not limited to, the following:
(a) The regulation of Digital Securities is still in a very nascent stage of development, globally. A high degree of uncertainty as to how Digital Securities and related activities are to be treated, exists. The applicable legal, regulatory and tax framework may change in future. It is not possible to anticipate with any degree of certainty the nature of such regulatory evolution and the subsequent impact on Digital Securities. Each Investor should seek independent advice prior to deciding whether to undertake any Investment;
(b) Digital Securities are blockchain-based and the security, transferability, storage and accessibility of Digital Securities depend on factors outside of InvestaX control, such as the security, stability and suitability of the underlying blockchain, mining disruptions, and who has access to the private key of any digital wallet where Digital Securities are stored. InvestaX does not represent or otherwise assure that it can prevent such external factors from having any direct or indirect adverse impact on any of the Digital Securities. Adverse events caused by such external factors may result in the loss of some or all Digital Securities acquired and such loss may be irreversible;
(c) Digital Securities transactions may be irreversible. This includes transactions made fraudulently, erroneously, or accidentally. Digital Securities involved in such irreversible transactions may not be recoverable;
(d) The computer code for the Smart Contract for Digital Securities may contain flaws, errors, defects and bugs, which may disable some functionality of the such Digital Securities, expose an Investor’s information or otherwise be harmful to the Investor. Each Investor should review the functioning of the Smart Contract underpinning Digital Securities and seek advice from third party experts, if necessary, to understand it, before undertaking any Investment. Should the Smart Contract, based on which the Digital Securities are operated, cease to function for any reason, the ability of any existing Investor to transfer such Digital Securities to third parties or the ability of the transferees of such Digital Securities to exercise the rights associated with such Digital Securities may be impaired;
(e) No assurance can be given that an active and liquid trading market, or even a market at all, will develop or continue for the Digital Securities. The market price of Digital Securities (to the extent such a market develops) may be highly volatile. Such volatility could be caused not only by events involving the Issuer or Applicant but also by changes in general conditions in the economy or the financial markets. As a result of such fluctuations, Investors may not be able to resell their Digital Securities and may incur losses. Factors that could cause this volatility of the market price of Digital Securities include but are not limited to:
(i) perception of the success and impact of the Applicant or Issuer, and/or Digital Securities;
(ii) the entrance of new competitors or new products in the markets of the Applicant or Issuer, and/or Digital Securities;
(iii) the liquidity of the market for the Digital Securities;
(iv) new laws or regulations or changes in interpretations of existing laws and regulations affecting the Applicant or Issuer, and/or Digital Securities;
(v) general market and economic conditions; (vi) sentiment in the crypto industry; (vii) announcements of developments related to the Applicant’s or Issuer’s business; and/or
(viii) local market conditions;
(f) Digital Securities may be subject to the risk of market manipulation if the number of Digital Securities available for trading is low and/or the venues available for trading Digital Securities, such as exchanges, are limited;
(g) Digital Securities may be affected if the Applicant or Issuer becomes the subject of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy, or any voluntary or involuntary proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership or liquidation for the benefit of creditors, or ceases doing business. In such circumstances, Investors may not have full or any recourse;
(h) Each Investor is responsible for knowing such Investor’s digital wallet private keys and keeping them a secret. A private key, or a combination of private keys, is necessary to control and dispose of Digital Securities stored in the Investor’s digital wallet. The loss of an Investor’s private keys associated with the Investor’s digital wallet may result in the loss of the Investor’s Digital Securities through misappropriation or otherwise. Investawill never ask for an Investor’s private keys; and
(i) InvestaX is not responsible for and/or obliged to take steps to retrieve Digital Securities lost in any manner.
In the event of a default, failure or cessation of any Investment not due to the fault or election of Investors, InvestaX may, in its sole and absolute discretion, assist Investors with different recovery options, provided, however, that any costs in connection with any such recovery efforts shall be borne by the Investors.
15. Forks
Software protocols governing a Digital Security can experience sudden changes in operating rules that are outside InvestaX control (each change being a “Fork”). A Fork can have a material change on the operation, functionality, value or even name of a Digital Security. If a Fork occurs, it may result in the creation of a new Digital Security (“New Asset”) which is related to an existing Digital Security (“Previous Asset”). Therefore, Forks may result in multiple versions of a Digital Security 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 Securities, a Fork, InvestaX 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.
16. Approved Registered User's Monies
Unless otherwise specified by an Approved Registered User in writing, all Approved Registered User’s monies are deposited in a designated client money account (“Client Monies Account”) with a specified financial institution or a specified custodian as defined under SF (LCB)R. All Approved Registered User’s monies received by InvestaX shall be held in Client Monies Account segregated from its own monies and assets.
An Investor is required to transfer the Investment amount through wire transfer or any other banking channels into the Client Monies Account. Approved Registered User’scan transfer Fiat in Client Monies Account in US Dollars.
InvestaX allows an Investor to make an Investment in an Offering listed on IX Prime in Stablecoins. An Investor will be required to pre-fund Stablecoins in its whitelisted digital wallet on InvestaX. Upon Investment, the requisite Stablecoins will have to be transferred by the Investor to the Custody Account where it shall be kept on hold until the Closing Date.
The Funds of the Investor shall be kept on hold until the Closing Date.
In the event that the Offering does not progress or for any reason the Offering is cancelled by the Issuer, the hold shall be released and such Funds shall again become available to the Investor. If the Offering is fully funded, then on the Closing Date the Funds committed by the Investor shall be transferred to the Issuer without any interest and after deduction of all fee(s) payable to InvestaX, if any.
InvestaX may charge a withdrawal fee on any withdrawal by an Investor from the Client Monies Account at the rate notified to the Investor from time to time. InvestaX may also charge withdrawal fees from any Stablecoins withdrawn by an Investor at the rate notified to the Investor from time to time.
The Investors hereby acknowledge and agree that that for the purpose of the safe custody of their monies denominated in US dollars, InvestaX has a right to deposit the US dollars of such Investors in a segregated account which is designated as a trust or client account with a custodian or a financial institution outside Singapore which is licensed, registered or authorised to conduct a regulated business in the country or territory where the account is maintained. The Investors acknowledge the fact that the laws and practices relating to trust accounts in the country or territory under which the custodian or the financial institution is licensed, registered or authorized may be different from the laws and practices in Singapore relating to trust accounts, and such differences may affect the Investors ability to recover the monies deposited in the Client Monies Account.
The Investors hereby acknowledge and agree that for the purpose of the safe custody of their Stablecoins, InvestaX has a right to deposit such Stablecoins of Investors in a Custody Account with the Custodian or a financial institution outside Singapore which is licensed, registered or authorised to conduct a regulated business in the country or territory where the Custody Account is maintained. The Investors acknowledge the fact that the laws and practices relating to Custody Account in the country or territory under which the Custodian or the financial institution is licensed, registered or authorized may be different from the laws and practices in Singapore relating to Custody Account, and such differences may affect the Investors ability to recover the Stablecoins deposited in the Custody Account.

Investor’s understand that when making an Investment into an Offering listed on the IX Prime, or while trading on IX Exchange their Digital Securities would be held in custody in a custody account provided by a third party custodian (“Third Party Custody”).
To provide Third Party Custody, InvestaX has entered into certain arrangements and opened a Custody Account (“Custody Account”) with a Custodian. Investors looking to avail Third Party Custody will have to acknowledge and agree to certain Third Party Custody Terms and Conditions. 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 Custodian will allow Investor’s to hold their Digital Securities and/or Stablecoins in a Custody Account maintained by the Custodian and to withdraw supported Digital Securities and/or Stablecoins from such Custody Account, in each case, pursuant to instructions that the Investor provides the Custodian through InvestaX (each such transaction is a "Custody Transaction"). The Custodian is the legal owner of the Digital Securities and Stablecoins and holds it for the benefit of the Investors. InvestaX is only an intermediary between the Custodian and the Investor and is hereby authorized by the Investor to give all directions, instructions, notices, requests, and undertake any administrative functions any other communications with respect to the Digital Securities and/or Stablecoins custodized with the Custodian.
The Custodian does not provide investment, tax, or legal advice, nor does it broker transactions. The Investors acknowledge that the Custodian has not provided and will not provide any advice, guidance or recommendations to the Investors with regard to the suitability or value of any Digital Securities and/or Stablecoins. All deposit and withdrawal transactions are executed based on the instructions given by InvestaX on behalf of the Investor and Investor is solely responsible for determining whether any investment, investment strategy, or related transaction involving the Digital Securities or any Stablecoins is appropriate for the Investor based on its own investment objectives, financial circumstances, and risk tolerance.
InvestaX reserves the right to appoint a different entity as the custodian subject to such entity being qualified and eligible to deliver the custody services that are necessary and/or incidental to the Digital Securities or Stablecoins without the need for any consent, authorisation or further act from the Investor. InvestaX shall notify each Investor of any new custodian.
18. IX Prime
An Issuer may list an Offering on IX Prime by executing an Engagement Agreement with InvestaX, subject to InvestaX’s approval in each case, which approval shall be in InvestaX’s sole and absolute discretion.
The details of any Offering are provided by Issuers and are only meant for the Investors’ information, and InvestaX does not provide any warranty as to the accuracy, truth and/or completeness of any such details. InvestaX shall not be held liable for any errors, omissions or any inaccurate, misleading or false information provided by any Issuer in respect of any Offering.
InvestaX may undertake social media reach-outs, reach-outs to targeted prospective Investors and/or marketing campaigns such as ask-me-anything sessions, on behalf of the Issuer.
In respect of any Offering, Investors may be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement with the Issuer prior to viewing the documents related to any Offering.
An Investor may make an offer in respect of an Offering by specifying the number of Digital Securities sought and the purchase amount, and such offer shall be subject to the approval and/or acceptance of the Issuer and/or InvestaX. All Offerings are open on the InvestaX from Listing until the Closing Date (“Fundraising Period”), which shall be specified, and may be extended, by the Issuer on IX Prime. However, if the prescribed soft cap (if any) is fulfilled before the Closing Date, the Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, choose to close the Offering before the Closing Date.
When making an offer in respect of an Offering:
(a) an Investor shall deposit the relevant Funds;
(b) such Funds shall be locked until the Investor’s offer is accepted and/or approved by the Issuer and/or InvestaX;
(c) upon approval and/or acceptance by the Issuer and/or InvestaX, the Investor may be required to sign a purchase agreement/subscription document and any other document necessary to complete the Investment into the Offering, and thereafter:
(i) such Funds shall be released to the Issuer, less any applicable fee(s) payable to InvestaX; and
(ii) the corresponding Digital Securities in respect of that Offering shall be transferred or made available to the Investor for Third Party Custody.
InvestaX does not guarantee that an Offering will be successful or fulfill its soft cap (if any), or that an Offering will remain open for any guaranteed amount of time. An Offering may be terminated or cancelled:
(a) at the discretion of the Issuer; or

19. IX Trading
InvestaX operates IX Trading, a platform for peer to peer trading of Digital Securities. Investors who desire to enter into peer to peer Digital Securities purchase and sale transactions (“Transactions”) without being subject to the rules of any established central limit order book exchange can use IX Trading.
For any Transactions on IX Trading, InvestaX merely acts as a facilitator connecting buyers and sellers. Investors may submit buy and/or sell orders (“Quotes”) on IX Trading. Each Quote on IX Trading has a unique number called Order ID. The buyer Quotes for any Digital Security shall only be visible to the sellers and the seller Quotes will only be visible to the Buyers.
When a buyer responds to a seller’s Quote and has the requisite amount of Funds to fulfill the seller’s Quote, the trade is matched and settled. Similarly, when a seller responds to a buyer’s Quote, and if the seller has requisite amount of Digital Securities the trade gets matched and settled. Settlement is automatic and executed through smart contracts and onchain via the relevant blockchain.
On IX Trading, partial fills for a particular Quote is also allowed. In case of a partial fill for any Quote, the Quote gets adjusted to the extent the same has been filled, while the unfilled portion continues to appear on the IX trading Platform as an open Quote. Buyer and sellers are able to see their open trades, past trades and their trading history.

The Listing Committee shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, approve or reject such Listing Application for any reason it deems fit, and InvestaX shall not be required to provide any reason for such approval or rejection. The Listing Committee shall notify the Applicant of its decision to approve or reject such Listing Application.

(c) upon the successful completion by a Registered User of all the above steps and any further necessary steps, as may be determined by InvestaX, InvestaX may, at its sole discretion, approve the Registered User such that the Registered User shall thereafter be deemed an Approved Registered User and/or Investor, and be permitted access to the Restricted Portion.
Each Approved Registered User shall:
(a) maintain the security of their Approved Registered User Account, password and identification (if any);
(b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data, if any and any other information provided to InvestaX as an Approved Registered User; and
(c) be fully responsible for all use of the Approved Registered User’s Account and for any actions that take place using the Account.

Please keep in mind that InvestaX will treat anyone who uses an Investor’s Account as the Investor himself/herself/itself. Therefore, InvestaX recommends that Investors change their passwords from time to time, maintain the confidentiality of their respective username and passwords, and refrain from disclosing their passwords to anyone.
InvestaX also asks that Investors notify InvestaX immediately upon any suspicion that the Investor’s Account has been misappropriated or that that Investor’s password has been compromised.
Any Investor can terminate the Investor’s Account registration at any time by contacting InvestaX at support@investax.io.
08. Investor's Representations and Warranties
The securities laws applicable to private company finance are complicated and unclear in many jurisdictions, but are intended to protect unsophisticated people from making bad investments. Our Website is intended for “accredited investors”, “institutional investors” and “expert investors” (as defined under the SFA) who understand risk and are willing to bear the consequences, which may involve losing your entire investment. InvestaX may, in its sole discretion and without liability, refuse to offer the Services to any person or entity and change its eligibility criteria at any time.
If an Investor is a natural person, the Investor represents and warrants:
(a) the Investor is at least the age of majority in the Investor’s jurisdiction, and understands and is willing to bear the risks associated with investing into any Investment, which may involve losing all of the Investor’s funds. However, if the Investor resides in a state, country or other jurisdiction that requires a higher minimum age or criteria for the Investor’s use of the Website or participation in the Services, the Investor must comply with the Applicable laws and Regulations in that jurisdiction;
(b) the Investor has a working knowledge of the usage and intricacies of Digital Securities, and cryptographic and blockchain-based systems; and
(c) the Investor is not an undischarged bankrupt.
If an Investor is using the Website and/or the Services on behalf of a legal entity, the Investor represents and warrants that:
(a) such legal entity understands and is willing to bear the risks associated with investing into any Investment, which may involve losing all of such legal entity’s funds;
(b) such legal entity has a working knowledge of the usage and intricacies of Digital Securities, and cryptographic and blockchain-based systems;

(a) be deemed an Approved Registered User and Issuer, provided that the Approved Registered User and Issuer executes an agreement with InvestaX; or

10. Issuer Offering Forms
Any prospective Issuer seeking to list a proposed Offering may be required to submit certain Offering Forms and documents to InvestaX. InvestaX shall, at its absolute discretion, review any such Offering Forms and documents by assessing if the Issuer fulfills the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements either alone or in combination, but:
(a) the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements are not exhaustive and InvestaX may impose additional requirements via any Additional Agreement entered into between InvestaX and Issuer, including but not limited to an Engagement Agreement; and
(b) compliance with the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements may not of itself ensure the suitability of the Offering for Listing on the Restricted Portion. While the size of an Issuer is important, greater emphasis is placed on factors such as the integrity of the management and the controlling shareholder(s) of the Issuer, an Issuer’s relative stability, an Issuer’s reputation and the quality of the Offering set out in the Offering Forms and documents submitted by the Issuer. In reviewing any such Offering Forms, InvestaX may contact the Issuer to understand the Issuer’s requirements and the details of the proposed Offering.
InvestaX has the sole and absolute discretion at any time to:
(a) modify the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements;
(b) consider all relevant circumstances in determining whether an Issuer satisfies the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements in respect of an Offering; and/or
(c) waive compliance in respect of all or any requirements mentioned in the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements. Upon review of any Offering Forms and documents, InvestaX may, as it deems appropriate, enter into any Additional Agreements with the Issuer for the purposes of listing the Offering.
11. Verification of Registration Data
Upon creation of an Account, and from time to time thereafter, the Registration Data a User submits for registering with InvestaX will be subject to verification, screening and monitoring, including, but not limited to, validation against third-party public and private databases or the verification of identity documents or any official government or legal documents confirming User’s identity, address, source of funds or ability to act on behalf of a legal entity, verification of corporate appointments and directorships.
Each User authorises InvestaX, directly or indirectly, through third parties, to conduct any verification of the Registration Data which may be deemed necessary by InvestaX, including to establish the User’s identity and location, accreditation status and to confirm the User’s ownership of the User’s digital wallet (if any), subject to the Applicable Laws and Regulations.
All Investments are subject to customer due diligence checks and onboarding, which include KYC/AML checks. InvestaX is required to obtain, verify and record information which may include information that identifies natural persons, ultimate beneficial owners for legal entities and source of funds prior to allowing any Approved Registered User to participate in any Investment. Such Approved Registered User may be required to update such information and any Registration Data from time to time.
If an Approved Registered User’s Account has been involved in any fraud or crime or violation of any laws and regulations, or has been accessed unlawfully, or is otherwise involved in suspicious activity, then InvestaX reserves the right to investigate any such suspicious activity and to request documentation to confirm authenticity and accuracy of any Registration Data the Approved Registered User provided to InvestaX. The Approved Registered User’s Account may be restricted, closed or frozen while the investigation is pending.
Any Registration Data the User is required to provide InvestaX during the Account registration and approval process will be handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
12. Enhanced Due Diligence
InvestaX may, in its sole and absolute discretion and at any time, require any User to submit additional information, documents and/or records about the User or the entity on whose behalf the User acts, or provide information about the User’s key management personnel, beneficial owners and/or directors (collectively, “Enhanced Due Diligence”).

In order to make any Investment, each Investor accepts and acknowledges the following:

Prior to making an Investment decision, the Investor should make the Investor’s own determination of the accuracy, adequacy, completeness and reliability of the information and materials available on the Website, perform the Investor’s own due diligence and seek advice from an independent legal, tax or financial advisor, where necessary, to determine the suitability and appropriateness of the Investment;
(b) The Investor is responsible for undertaking the Investor’s own independent investigation and assessment of all Investment opportunities, and the independent verification of any information provided through the Website;
(c) The Investor has made all necessary inquiries in respect of the relevant Digital Securities, including, but not limited to, their nature and objective, their key benefits and risks, their key rights and obligations, the ease of liquidating the Digital Securities, the commitment required, pricing, the fees and charges to be borne by the Investor, and any applicable charges or restrictions on withdrawal, surrender, buy back or redemption of the Digital Securities;
(d) The Investor shall be solely responsible, to the exclusion of InvestaX, for any and all of the Investor’s tax obligations that may arise from the Investor’s use of the Website;
(e) The Investor is financially and technically sophisticated enough to understand the inherent risks associated with using cryptographic and blockchain-based systems, and the Investor has a working knowledge of the usage and intricacies of Digital Securities, including that:
(i) blockchain-based transactions are irreversible;
(ii) markets for Digital Securities are highly volatile due to factors such as adoption, speculation, technology, security, thefts, fraud, loss of Digital Securities, digital wallets and/or private keys, and regulation;
(iii) the cost and speed of transacting with cryptographic and blockchain-based systems are variable and may increase dramatically at any time; and
(iv) Digital Securities may lose some or all of their value while they are invested through the InvestaX Platform, through the fluctuation of prices or volatility in the market.
(f) The Investor may be required to agree to certain disclosures before being allowed to make any Investment;

Each Investor acknowledges that he/she/it is fully aware of the risks involved in undertaking any Investment, including but not limited to, the following:
(a) The regulation of Digital Securities is still in a very nascent stage of development, globally. A high degree of uncertainty as to how Digital Securities and related activities are to be treated, exists. The applicable legal, regulatory and tax framework may change in future. It is not possible to anticipate with any degree of certainty the nature of such regulatory evolution and the subsequent impact on Digital Securities. Each Investor should seek independent advice prior to deciding whether to undertake any Investment;
(b) Digital Securities are blockchain-based and the security, transferability, storage and accessibility of Digital Securities depend on factors outside of InvestaX control, such as the security, stability and suitability of the underlying blockchain, mining disruptions, and who has access to the private key of any digital wallet where Digital Securities are stored. InvestaX does not represent or otherwise assure that it can prevent such external factors from having any direct or indirect adverse impact on any of the Digital Securities. Adverse events caused by such external factors may result in the loss of some or all Digital Securities acquired and such loss may be irreversible;
(c) Digital Securities transactions may be irreversible. This includes transactions made fraudulently, erroneously, or accidentally. Digital Securities involved in such irreversible transactions may not be recoverable;
(d) The computer code for the Smart Contract for Digital Securities may contain flaws, errors, defects and bugs, which may disable some functionality of the such Digital Securities, expose an Investor’s information or otherwise be harmful to the Investor. Each Investor should review the functioning of the Smart Contract underpinning Digital Securities and seek advice from third party experts, if necessary, to understand it, before undertaking any Investment. Should the Smart Contract, based on which the Digital Securities are operated, cease to function for any reason, the ability of any existing Investor to transfer such Digital Securities to third parties or the ability of the transferees of such Digital Securities to exercise the rights associated with such Digital Securities may be impaired;
(e) No assurance can be given that an active and liquid trading market, or even a market at all, will develop or continue for the Digital Securities. The market price of Digital Securities (to the extent such a market develops) may be highly volatile. Such volatility could be caused not only by events involving the Issuer or Applicant but also by changes in general conditions in the economy or the financial markets. As a result of such fluctuations, Investors may not be able to resell their Digital Securities and may incur losses. Factors that could cause this volatility of the market price of Digital Securities include but are not limited to:
(i) perception of the success and impact of the Applicant or Issuer, and/or Digital Securities;
(ii) the entrance of new competitors or new products in the markets of the Applicant or Issuer, and/or Digital Securities;
(iii) the liquidity of the market for the Digital Securities;
(iv) new laws or regulations or changes in interpretations of existing laws and regulations affecting the Applicant or Issuer, and/or Digital Securities;
(v) general market and economic conditions; (vi) sentiment in the crypto industry; (vii) announcements of developments related to the Applicant’s or Issuer’s business; and/or
(viii) local market conditions;
(f) Digital Securities may be subject to the risk of market manipulation if the number of Digital Securities available for trading is low and/or the venues available for trading Digital Securities, such as exchanges, are limited;
(g) Digital Securities may be affected if the Applicant or Issuer becomes the subject of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy, or any voluntary or involuntary proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership or liquidation for the benefit of creditors, or ceases doing business. In such circumstances, Investors may not have full or any recourse;
(h) Each Investor is responsible for knowing such Investor’s digital wallet private keys and keeping them a secret. A private key, or a combination of private keys, is necessary to control and dispose of Digital Securities stored in the Investor’s digital wallet. The loss of an Investor’s private keys associated with the Investor’s digital wallet may result in the loss of the Investor’s Digital Securities through misappropriation or otherwise. Investawill never ask for an Investor’s private keys; and
(i) InvestaX is not responsible for and/or obliged to take steps to retrieve Digital Securities lost in any manner.
In the event of a default, failure or cessation of any Investment not due to the fault or election of Investors, InvestaX may, in its sole and absolute discretion, assist Investors with different recovery options, provided, however, that any costs in connection with any such recovery efforts shall be borne by the Investors.
15. Forks
Software protocols governing a Digital Security can experience sudden changes in operating rules that are outside InvestaX control (each change being a “Fork”). A Fork can have a material change on the operation, functionality, value or even name of a Digital Security. If a Fork occurs, it may result in the creation of a new Digital Security (“New Asset”) which is related to an existing Digital Security (“Previous Asset”). Therefore, Forks may result in multiple versions of a Digital Security 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 Securities, a Fork, InvestaX 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.
16. Approved Registered User's Monies
Unless otherwise specified by an Approved Registered User in writing, all Approved Registered User’s monies are deposited in a designated client money account (“Client Monies Account”) with a specified financial institution or a specified custodian as defined under SF (LCB)R. All Approved Registered User’s monies received by InvestaX shall be held in Client Monies Account segregated from its own monies and assets.
An Investor is required to transfer the Investment amount through wire transfer or any other banking channels into the Client Monies Account. Approved Registered User’scan transfer Fiat in Client Monies Account in US Dollars.
InvestaX allows an Investor to make an Investment in an Offering listed on IX Prime in Stablecoins. An Investor will be required to pre-fund Stablecoins in its whitelisted digital wallet on InvestaX. Upon Investment, the requisite Stablecoins will have to be transferred by the Investor to the Custody Account where it shall be kept on hold until the Closing Date.
The Funds of the Investor shall be kept on hold until the Closing Date.
In the event that the Offering does not progress or for any reason the Offering is cancelled by the Issuer, the hold shall be released and such Funds shall again become available to the Investor. If the Offering is fully funded, then on the Closing Date the Funds committed by the Investor shall be transferred to the Issuer without any interest and after deduction of all fee(s) payable to InvestaX, if any.
InvestaX may charge a withdrawal fee on any withdrawal by an Investor from the Client Monies Account at the rate notified to the Investor from time to time. InvestaX may also charge withdrawal fees from any Stablecoins withdrawn by an Investor at the rate notified to the Investor from time to time.
The Investors hereby acknowledge and agree that that for the purpose of the safe custody of their monies denominated in US dollars, InvestaX has a right to deposit the US dollars of such Investors in a segregated account which is designated as a trust or client account with a custodian or a financial institution outside Singapore which is licensed, registered or authorised to conduct a regulated business in the country or territory where the account is maintained. The Investors acknowledge the fact that the laws and practices relating to trust accounts in the country or territory under which the custodian or the financial institution is licensed, registered or authorized may be different from the laws and practices in Singapore relating to trust accounts, and such differences may affect the Investors ability to recover the monies deposited in the Client Monies Account.
The Investors hereby acknowledge and agree that for the purpose of the safe custody of their Stablecoins, InvestaX has a right to deposit such Stablecoins of Investors in a Custody Account with the Custodian or a financial institution outside Singapore which is licensed, registered or authorised to conduct a regulated business in the country or territory where the Custody Account is maintained. The Investors acknowledge the fact that the laws and practices relating to Custody Account in the country or territory under which the Custodian or the financial institution is licensed, registered or authorized may be different from the laws and practices in Singapore relating to Custody Account, and such differences may affect the Investors ability to recover the Stablecoins deposited in the Custody Account.
17. Investor Assets - Custody Provisions
Investor’s understand that when making an Investment into an Offering listed on the IX Prime, or while trading on IX Exchange their Digital Securities would be held in custody in a custody account provided by a third party custodian (“Third Party Custody”).
To provide Third Party Custody, InvestaX has entered into certain arrangements and opened a Custody Account (“Custody Account”) with a Custodian. Investors looking to avail Third Party Custody will have to acknowledge and agree to certain Third Party Custody Terms and Conditions. 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 Custodian will allow Investor’s to hold their Digital Securities and/or Stablecoins in a Custody Account maintained by the Custodian and to withdraw supported Digital Securities and/or Stablecoins from such Custody Account, in each case, pursuant to instructions that the Investor provides the Custodian through InvestaX (each such transaction is a "Custody Transaction"). The Custodian is the legal owner of the Digital Securities and Stablecoins and holds it for the benefit of the Investors. InvestaX is only an intermediary between the Custodian and the Investor and is hereby authorized by the Investor to give all directions, instructions, notices, requests, and undertake any administrative functions any other communications with respect to the Digital Securities and/or Stablecoins custodized with the Custodian.
The Custodian does not provide investment, tax, or legal advice, nor does it broker transactions. The Investors acknowledge that the Custodian has not provided and will not provide any advice, guidance or recommendations to the Investors with regard to the suitability or value of any Digital Securities and/or Stablecoins. All deposit and withdrawal transactions are executed based on the instructions given by InvestaX on behalf of the Investor and Investor is solely responsible for determining whether any investment, investment strategy, or related transaction involving the Digital Securities or any Stablecoins is appropriate for the Investor based on its own investment objectives, financial circumstances, and risk tolerance.
InvestaX reserves the right to appoint a different entity as the custodian subject to such entity being qualified and eligible to deliver the custody services that are necessary and/or incidental to the Digital Securities or Stablecoins without the need for any consent, authorisation or further act from the Investor. InvestaX shall notify each Investor of any new custodian.
18. IX Prime
An Issuer may list an Offering on IX Prime by executing an Engagement Agreement with InvestaX, subject to InvestaX’s approval in each case, which approval shall be in InvestaX’s sole and absolute discretion.
The details of any Offering are provided by Issuers and are only meant for the Investors’ information, and InvestaX does not provide any warranty as to the accuracy, truth and/or completeness of any such details. InvestaX shall not be held liable for any errors, omissions or any inaccurate, misleading or false information provided by any Issuer in respect of any Offering.
InvestaX may undertake social media reach-outs, reach-outs to targeted prospective Investors and/or marketing campaigns such as ask-me-anything sessions, on behalf of the Issuer.
In respect of any Offering, Investors may be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement with the Issuer prior to viewing the documents related to any Offering.
An Investor may make an offer in respect of an Offering by specifying the number of Digital Securities sought and the purchase amount, and such offer shall be subject to the approval and/or acceptance of the Issuer and/or InvestaX. All Offerings are open on the InvestaX from Listing until the Closing Date (“Fundraising Period”), which shall be specified, and may be extended, by the Issuer on IX Prime. However, if the prescribed soft cap (if any) is fulfilled before the Closing Date, the Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, choose to close the Offering before the Closing Date.
When making an offer in respect of an Offering:
(a) an Investor shall deposit the relevant Funds;
(b) such Funds shall be locked until the Investor’s offer is accepted and/or approved by the Issuer and/or InvestaX;
(c) upon approval and/or acceptance by the Issuer and/or InvestaX, the Investor may be required to sign a purchase agreement/subscription document and any other document necessary to complete the Investment into the Offering, and thereafter:
(i) such Funds shall be released to the Issuer, less any applicable fee(s) payable to InvestaX; and
(ii) the corresponding Digital Securities in respect of that Offering shall be transferred or made available to the Investor for Third Party Custody.
InvestaX does not guarantee that an Offering will be successful or fulfill its soft cap (if any), or that an Offering will remain open for any guaranteed amount of time. An Offering may be terminated or cancelled:
(a) at the discretion of the Issuer; or
(b) by InvestaX for violation of the Terms of Use or the relevant Engagement Agreement.
If an Offering is terminated or cancelled at any time before the Closing Date:
(a) all Funds committed by each Investor into the Offering shall be returned to the Investor without interest and after deduction of any fee(s) payable to InvestaX; and
(b) the Investor understands and accepts such risk, and the Investor acknowledges that the Investor shall have no recourse against InvestaX in such circumstances.
InvestaX may use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Issuers provide regular updates to Investors regarding any ongoing Offerings.
Any Fiat paid into the Client Monies Account by an Investor by bank wire transfer or any other means, if withdrawn by the Investor shall be returned, or will be repaid to the same bank account from which they were originally sent.
19. IX Trading
InvestaX operates IX Trading, a platform for peer to peer trading of Digital Securities. Investors who desire to enter into peer to peer Digital Securities purchase and sale transactions (“Transactions”) without being subject to the rules of any established central limit order book exchange can use IX Trading.
For any Transactions on IX Trading, InvestaX merely acts as a facilitator connecting buyers and sellers. Investors may submit buy and/or sell orders (“Quotes”) on IX Trading. Each Quote on IX Trading has a unique number called Order ID. The buyer Quotes for any Digital Security shall only be visible to the sellers and the seller Quotes will only be visible to the Buyers.
When a buyer responds to a seller’s Quote and has the requisite amount of Funds to fulfill the seller’s Quote, the trade is matched and settled. Similarly, when a seller responds to a buyer’s Quote, and if the seller has requisite amount of Digital Securities the trade gets matched and settled. Settlement is automatic and executed through smart contracts and onchain via the relevant blockchain.
On IX Trading, partial fills for a particular Quote is also allowed. In case of a partial fill for any Quote, the Quote gets adjusted to the extent the same has been filled, while the unfilled portion continues to appear on the IX trading Platform as an open Quote. Buyer and sellers are able to see their open trades, past trades and their trading history.
20. IX Exchange
InvestaX also operates IX Exchange, a platform which allows the secondary trading of Digital Securities. Only an Approved Registered User will be eligible to access the IX Exchange. Any Applicant seeking to list such Applicant’s Digital Securities on the IX Exchange shall submit a Listing Application to InvestaX, unless IX Exchange determines otherwise. In accordance with a Listing Application and the IX Exchange Rules, InvestaX Listing Committee shall review such Listing Application and any Registration Data provided in support of the same, in assessing, in its sole and absolute discretion, whether the Applicant passes the KYC/AML process and whether to approve (unconditionally or subject to any condition) or reject such Listing Application. The Listing Committee shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, approve or reject such Listing Application for any reason it deems fit, and InvestaX shall not be required to provide any reason for such approval or rejection. The Listing Committee shall notify the Applicant of its decision to approve or reject such Listing Application.
While accessing and using the IX Exchange, each Approved Registered User hereby acknowledges and confirms that such Approved Registered User:
(a) is fully aware of the risks involved in buying and selling Digital Securities.
(b) will not use the IX Exchange if they do not understand the risks of trading in Digital Securities.

InvestaX shall not be liable for any loss, damage or liability

Each Approved Registered User shall:
(a) maintain the security of their Approved Registered User Account, password and identification (if any);
(b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data, if any and any other information provided to InvestaX as an Approved Registered User; and

Please keep in mind that InvestaX will treat anyone who uses an Investor’s Account as the Investor himself/herself/itself. Therefore, InvestaX recommends that Investors change their passwords from time to time, maintain the confidentiality of their respective username and passwords, and refrain from disclosing their passwords to anyone.
InvestaX also asks that Investors notify InvestaX immediately upon any suspicion that the Investor’s Account has been misappropriated or that that Investor’s password has been compromised.
Any Investor can terminate the Investor’s Account registration at any time by contacting InvestaX at support@investax.io.
08. Investor's Representations and Warranties
The securities laws applicable to private company finance are complicated and unclear in many jurisdictions, but are intended to protect unsophisticated people from making bad investments. Our Website is intended for “accredited investors”, “institutional investors” and “expert investors” (as defined under the SFA) who understand risk and are willing to bear the consequences, which may involve losing your entire investment. InvestaX may, in its sole discretion and without liability, refuse to offer the Services to any person or entity and change its eligibility criteria at any time.
If an Investor is a natural person, the Investor represents and warrants:
(a) the Investor is at least the age of majority in the Investor’s jurisdiction, and understands and is willing to bear the risks associated with investing into any Investment, which may involve losing all of the Investor’s funds. However, if the Investor resides in a state, country or other jurisdiction that requires a higher minimum age or criteria for the Investor’s use of the Website or participation in the Services, the Investor must comply with the Applicable laws and Regulations in that jurisdiction;
(b) the Investor has a working knowledge of the usage and intricacies of Digital Securities, and cryptographic and blockchain-based systems; and
(c) the Investor is not an undischarged bankrupt.
If an Investor is using the Website and/or the Services on behalf of a legal entity, the Investor represents and warrants that:
(a) such legal entity understands and is willing to bear the risks associated with investing into any Investment, which may involve losing all of such legal entity’s funds;
(b) such legal entity has a working knowledge of the usage and intricacies of Digital Securities, and cryptographic and blockchain-based systems;
(c) such legal entity is not the subject of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy or any voluntary or involuntary proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership or liquidation or contemplating ceasing its business;
(d) the Investor has the right and/or authority to make such representations and/or warranties on behalf of such legal entity; and
(e) the Investor may have to submit documents to show that the Investor has the authority to enter into agreements on behalf of a legal entity.
Furthermore, each Investor represents and warrants that all Registration Data the Investor submits to InvestaX is true and accurate.
09. Issuer and Applicant Approval
To become an Issuer or an Applicant, a Registered User will be required to fill out the requisite forms, which includes providing Registration Data such as personal, financial, tax information, and pass the KYC/AML process. Upon the successful completion by a Registered User of all the above steps and any further necessary steps, as may be determined by InvestaX, InvestaX may, in its sole and absolute discretion, approve the Registered User such that the Registered User shall thereafter:
(a) be deemed an Approved Registered User and Issuer, provided that the Approved Registered User and Issuer executes an agreement with InvestaX; or
(b) be deemed an Approved Registered User and Applicant, and permitted to submit a Listing Application to InvestaX to list such Applicant’s Digital Securities on the IX Exchange.
10. Issuer Offering Forms
Any prospective Issuer seeking to list a proposed Offering may be required to submit certain Offering Forms and documents to InvestaX. InvestaX shall, at its absolute discretion, review any such Offering Forms and documents by assessing if the Issuer fulfills the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements either alone or in combination, but:
(a) the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements are not exhaustive and InvestaX may impose additional requirements via any Additional Agreement entered into between InvestaX and Issuer, including but not limited to an Engagement Agreement; and
(b) compliance with the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements may not of itself ensure the suitability of the Offering for Listing on the Restricted Portion. While the size of an Issuer is important, greater emphasis is placed on factors such as the integrity of the management and the controlling shareholder(s) of the Issuer, an Issuer’s relative stability, an Issuer’s reputation and the quality of the Offering set out in the Offering Forms and documents submitted by the Issuer. In reviewing any such Offering Forms, InvestaX may contact the Issuer to understand the Issuer’s requirements and the details of the proposed Offering.
InvestaX has the sole and absolute discretion at any time to:
(a) modify the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements;
(b) consider all relevant circumstances in determining whether an Issuer satisfies the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements in respect of an Offering; and/or
(c) waive compliance in respect of all or any requirements mentioned in the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements. Upon review of any Offering Forms and documents, InvestaX may, as it deems appropriate, enter into any Additional Agreements with the Issuer for the purposes of listing the Offering.
11. Verification of Registration Data
Upon creation of an Account, and from time to time thereafter, the Registration Data a User submits for registering with InvestaX will be subject to verification, screening and monitoring, including, but not limited to, validation against third-party public and private databases or the verification of identity documents or any official government or legal documents confirming User’s identity, address, source of funds or ability to act on behalf of a legal entity, verification of corporate appointments and directorships.
Each User authorises InvestaX, directly or indirectly, through third parties, to conduct any verification of the Registration Data which may be deemed necessary by InvestaX, including to establish the User’s identity and location, accreditation status and to confirm the User’s ownership of the User’s digital wallet (if any), subject to the Applicable Laws and Regulations.
All Investments are subject to customer due diligence checks and onboarding, which include KYC/AML checks. InvestaX is required to obtain, verify and record information which may include information that identifies natural persons, ultimate beneficial owners for legal entities and source of funds prior to allowing any Approved Registered User to participate in any Investment. Such Approved Registered User may be required to update such information and any Registration Data from time to time.
If an Approved Registered User’s Account has been involved in any fraud or crime or violation of any laws and regulations, or has been accessed unlawfully, or is otherwise involved in suspicious activity, then InvestaX reserves the right to investigate any such suspicious activity and to request documentation to confirm authenticity and accuracy of any Registration Data the Approved Registered User provided to InvestaX. The Approved Registered User’s Account may be restricted, closed or frozen while the investigation is pending.
Any Registration Data the User is required to provide InvestaX during the Account registration and approval process will be handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
12. Enhanced Due Diligence
InvestaX may, in its sole and absolute discretion and at any time, require any User to submit additional information, documents and/or records about the User or the entity on whose behalf the User acts, or provide information about the User’s key management personnel, beneficial owners and/or directors (collectively, “Enhanced Due Diligence”). InvestaX may charge the User fees for such Enhanced Due Diligence but InvestaX will provide the User with prior notice in such circumstances.

14. Investments
All Registered Users can access general information but only Investors can access the Restricted Portion to make Investments. An Investor can also see details and documents regarding any Offering, Listing or Trading, before making an Investment decision.
InvestaX conducts due diligence prior to any Offering, Listing or Trading on the Restricted Portion. However, InvestaX does not make any representations or warranties to any Users in respect of any such due diligence and InvestaX shall not be held liable for any errors, insufficiency, omissions or any inaccurate, misleading or false information contained in any such due diligence.
In order to make any Investment, each Investor accepts and acknowledges the following:
(a) Investment opportunities are made available on the Restricted Portion for the Investors to evaluate. Prior to making an Investment decision, the Investor should make the Investor’s own determination of the accuracy, adequacy, completeness and reliability of the information and materials available on the Website, perform the Investor’s own due diligence and seek advice from an independent legal, tax or financial advisor, where necessary, to determine the suitability and appropriateness of the Investment;
(b) The Investor is responsible for undertaking the Investor’s own independent investigation and assessment of all Investment opportunities, and the independent verification of any information provided through the Website;
(c) The Investor has made all necessary inquiries in respect of the relevant Digital Securities, including, but not limited to, their nature and objective, their key benefits and risks, their key rights and obligations, the ease of liquidating the Digital Securities, the commitment required, pricing, the fees and charges to be borne by the Investor, and any applicable charges or restrictions on withdrawal, surrender, buy back or redemption of the Digital Securities;
(d) The Investor shall be solely responsible, to the exclusion of InvestaX, for any and all of the Investor’s tax obligations that may arise from the Investor’s use of the Website;
(e) The Investor is financially and technically sophisticated enough to understand the inherent risks associated with using cryptographic and blockchain-based systems, and the Investor has a working knowledge of the usage and intricacies of Digital Securities, including that:
(i) blockchain-based transactions are irreversible;
(ii) markets for Digital Securities are highly volatile due to factors such as adoption, speculation, technology, security, thefts, fraud, loss of Digital Securities, digital wallets and/or private keys, and regulation;
(iii) the cost and speed of transacting with cryptographic and blockchain-based systems are variable and may increase dramatically at any time; and
(iv) Digital Securities may lose some or all of their value while they are invested through the InvestaX Platform, through the fluctuation of prices or volatility in the market.
(f) The Investor may be required to agree to certain disclosures before being allowed to make any Investment;
(g) The Investor is fully aware of the risks involved in any Investment. The Investor shall not make any Investment if the Investor does not understand the risks of such an Investment. Any Investment made by the Investor is at the Investor’s own risk;
(h) InvestaX shall not be liable for any loss, damage or liability which the Investor may incur in respect of any Investments made through InvestaX Platform;
(i) The InvestaX Platform is dependent on the availability of telecommunication and internet access. Therefore, the Investor accepts the risk of any failure of access to an internet network due to local, hardware and/or software issues. InvestaX shall not be responsible for any communication failures, technical disruption, errors, or delays, howsoever caused, which the Investor may experience when making Investments on the InvestaX;
(j) InvestaX shall not be liable for any act or omission of the Investor which causes any default, failure or cessation of any Investment, including but not limited to any incorrect or incomplete payment or transfer of Funds by the Investor. InvestaX accepts no responsibility for any such act or omission of the Investor;
(k) There may be resale restrictions applicable to a Digital Securities in respect of an Investment, which the Investor is required to and deemed to have knowledge of;
(l) Any document or material in connection with any Investment does not constitute an offer or solicitation by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is not authorized or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation;
(m) Participation in any Investment will be subject to the specific terms of that Investment. InvestaX makes no representation or warranty that any Investment will take place, or that if it takes place, that any Investor will be allowed to participate; and
(n) InvestaX reserves the right to discontinue any Investment activity at any time and in its sole and absolute discretion. In such circumstances, Investors shall not have any right, claim or cause of action in any way whatsoever against InvestaX in relation to such discontinuation.
Each Investor acknowledges that he/she/it is fully aware of the risks involved in undertaking any Investment, including but not limited to, the following:
(a) The regulation of Digital Securities is still in a very nascent stage of development, globally. A high degree of uncertainty as to how Digital Securities and related activities are to be treated, exists. The applicable legal, regulatory and tax framework may change in future. It is not possible to anticipate with any degree of certainty the nature of such regulatory evolution and the subsequent impact on Digital Securities. Each Investor should seek independent advice prior to deciding whether to undertake any Investment;
(b) Digital Securities are blockchain-based and the security, transferability, storage and accessibility of Digital Securities depend on factors outside of InvestaX control, such as the security, stability and suitability of the underlying blockchain, mining disruptions, and who has access to the private key of any digital wallet where Digital Securities are stored. InvestaX does not represent or otherwise assure that it can prevent such external factors from having any direct or indirect adverse impact on any of the Digital Securities. Adverse events caused by such external factors may result in the loss of some or all Digital Securities acquired and such loss may be irreversible;
(c) Digital Securities transactions may be irreversible. This includes transactions made fraudulently, erroneously, or accidentally. Digital Securities involved in such irreversible transactions may not be recoverable;
(d) The computer code for the Smart Contract for Digital Securities may contain flaws, errors, defects and bugs, which may disable some functionality of the such Digital Securities, expose an Investor’s information or otherwise be harmful to the Investor. Each Investor should review the functioning of the Smart Contract underpinning Digital Securities and seek advice from third party experts, if necessary, to understand it, before undertaking any Investment. Should the Smart Contract, based on which the Digital Securities are operated, cease to function for any reason, the ability of any existing Investor to transfer such Digital Securities to third parties or the ability of the transferees of such Digital Securities to exercise the rights associated with such Digital Securities may be impaired;
(e) No assurance can be given that an active and liquid trading market, or even a market at all, will develop or continue for the Digital Securities. The market price of Digital Securities (to the extent such a market develops) may be highly volatile. Such volatility could be caused not only by events involving the Issuer or Applicant but also by changes in general conditions in the economy or the financial markets. As a result of such fluctuations, Investors may not be able to resell their Digital Securities and may incur losses. Factors that could cause this volatility of the market price of Digital Securities include but are not limited to:
(i) perception of the success and impact of the Applicant or Issuer, and/or Digital Securities;
(ii) the entrance of new competitors or new products in the markets of the Applicant or Issuer, and/or Digital Securities;
(iii) the liquidity of the market for the Digital Securities;
(iv) new laws or regulations or changes in interpretations of existing laws and regulations affecting the Applicant or Issuer, and/or Digital Securities;
(v) general market and economic conditions; (vi) sentiment in the crypto industry; (vii) announcements of developments related to the Applicant’s or Issuer’s business; and/or
(viii) local market conditions;
(f) Digital Securities may be subject to the risk of market manipulation if the number of Digital Securities available for trading is low and/or the venues available for trading Digital Securities, such as exchanges, are limited;
(g) Digital Securities may be affected if the Applicant or Issuer becomes the subject of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy, or any voluntary or involuntary proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership or liquidation for the benefit of creditors, or ceases doing business. In such circumstances, Investors may not have full or any recourse;
(h) Each Investor is responsible for knowing such Investor’s digital wallet private keys and keeping them a secret. A private key, or a combination of private keys, is necessary to control and dispose of Digital Securities stored in the Investor’s digital wallet. The loss of an Investor’s private keys associated with the Investor’s digital wallet may result in the loss of the Investor’s Digital Securities through misappropriation or otherwise. Investawill never ask for an Investor’s private keys; and
(i) InvestaX is not responsible for and/or obliged to take steps to retrieve Digital Securities lost in any manner.
In the event of a default, failure or cessation of any Investment not due to the fault or election of Investors, InvestaX may, in its sole and absolute discretion, assist Investors with different recovery options, provided, however, that any costs in connection with any such recovery efforts shall be borne by the Investors.
15. Forks
Software protocols governing a Digital Security can experience sudden changes in operating rules that are outside InvestaX control (each change being a “Fork”). A Fork can have a material change on the operation, functionality, value or even name of a Digital Security. If a Fork occurs, it may result in the creation of a new Digital Security (“New Asset”) which is related to an existing Digital Security (“Previous Asset”). Therefore, Forks may result in multiple versions of a Digital Security 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 Securities, a Fork, InvestaX 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.
16. Approved Registered User's Monies
Unless otherwise specified by an Approved Registered User in writing, all Approved Registered User’s monies are deposited in a designated client money account (“Client Monies Account”) with a specified financial institution or a specified custodian as defined under SF (LCB)R. All Approved Registered User’s monies received by InvestaX shall be held in Client Monies Account segregated from its own monies and assets.
An Investor is required to transfer the Investment amount through wire transfer or any other banking channels into the Client Monies Account. Approved Registered User’scan transfer Fiat in Client Monies Account in US Dollars.
InvestaX allows an Investor to make an Investment in an Offering listed on IX Prime in Stablecoins. An Investor will be required to pre-fund Stablecoins in its whitelisted digital wallet on InvestaX. Upon Investment, the requisite Stablecoins will have to be transferred by the Investor to the Custody Account where it shall be kept on hold until the Closing Date.
The Funds of the Investor shall be kept on hold until the Closing Date.
In the event that the Offering does not progress or for any reason the Offering is cancelled by the Issuer, the hold shall be released and such Funds shall again become available to the Investor. If the Offering is fully funded, then on the Closing Date the Funds committed by the Investor shall be transferred to the Issuer without any interest and after deduction of all fee(s) payable to InvestaX, if any.
InvestaX may charge a withdrawal fee on any withdrawal by an Investor from the Client Monies Account at the rate notified to the Investor from time to time. InvestaX may also charge withdrawal fees from any Stablecoins withdrawn by an Investor at the rate notified to the Investor from time to time.
The Investors hereby acknowledge and agree that that for the purpose of the safe custody of their monies denominated in US dollars, InvestaX has a right to deposit the US dollars of such Investors in a segregated account which is designated as a trust or client account with a custodian or a financial institution outside Singapore which is licensed, registered or authorised to conduct a regulated business in the country or territory where the account is maintained. The Investors acknowledge the fact that the laws and practices relating to trust accounts in the country or territory under which the custodian or the financial institution is licensed, registered or authorized may be different from the laws and practices in Singapore relating to trust accounts, and such differences may affect the Investors ability to recover the monies deposited in the Client Monies Account.
The Investors hereby acknowledge and agree that for the purpose of the safe custody of their Stablecoins, InvestaX has a right to deposit such Stablecoins of Investors in a Custody Account with the Custodian or a financial institution outside Singapore which is licensed, registered or authorised to conduct a regulated business in the country or territory where the Custody Account is maintained. The Investors acknowledge the fact that the laws and practices relating to Custody Account in the country or territory under which the Custodian or the financial institution is licensed, registered or authorized may be different from the laws and practices in Singapore relating to Custody Account, and such differences may affect the Investors ability to recover the Stablecoins deposited in the Custody Account.
17. Investor Assets - Custody Provisions
Investor’s understand that when making an Investment into an Offering listed on the IX Prime, or while trading on IX Exchange their Digital Securities would be held in custody in a custody account provided by a third party custodian (“Third Party Custody”).
To provide Third Party Custody, InvestaX has entered into certain arrangements and opened a Custody Account (“Custody Account”) with a Custodian. Investors looking to avail Third Party Custody will have to acknowledge and agree to certain Third Party Custody Terms and Conditions. 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 Custodian will allow Investor’s to hold their Digital Securities and/or Stablecoins in a Custody Account maintained by the Custodian and to withdraw supported Digital Securities and/or Stablecoins from such Custody Account, in each case, pursuant to instructions that the Investor provides the Custodian through InvestaX (each such transaction is a "Custody Transaction"). The Custodian is the legal owner of the Digital Securities and Stablecoins and holds it for the benefit of the Investors. InvestaX is only an intermediary between the Custodian and the Investor and is hereby authorized by the Investor to give all directions, instructions, notices, requests, and undertake any administrative functions any other communications with respect to the Digital Securities and/or Stablecoins custodized with the Custodian.
The Custodian does not provide investment, tax, or legal advice, nor does it broker transactions. The Investors acknowledge that the Custodian has not provided and will not provide any advice, guidance or recommendations to the Investors with regard to the suitability or value of any Digital Securities and/or Stablecoins. All deposit and withdrawal transactions are executed based on the instructions given by InvestaX on behalf of the Investor and Investor is solely responsible for determining whether any investment, investment strategy, or related transaction involving the Digital Securities or any Stablecoins is appropriate for the Investor based on its own investment objectives, financial circumstances, and risk tolerance.
InvestaX reserves the right to appoint a different entity as the custodian subject to such entity being qualified and eligible to deliver the custody services that are necessary and/or incidental to the Digital Securities or Stablecoins without the need for any consent, authorisation or further act from the Investor. InvestaX shall notify each Investor of any new custodian.
18. IX Prime
An Issuer may list an Offering on IX Prime by executing an Engagement Agreement with InvestaX, subject to InvestaX’s approval in each case, which approval shall be in InvestaX’s sole and absolute discretion.
The details of any Offering are provided by Issuers and are only meant for the Investors’ information, and InvestaX does not provide any warranty as to the accuracy, truth and/or completeness of any such details. InvestaX shall not be held liable for any errors, omissions or any inaccurate, misleading or false information provided by any Issuer in respect of any Offering.
InvestaX may undertake social media reach-outs, reach-outs to targeted prospective Investors and/or marketing campaigns such as ask-me-anything sessions, on behalf of the Issuer.
In respect of any Offering, Investors may be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement with the Issuer prior to viewing the documents related to any Offering.
An Investor may make an offer in respect of an Offering by specifying the number of Digital Securities sought and the purchase amount, and such offer shall be subject to the approval and/or acceptance of the Issuer and/or InvestaX. All Offerings are open on the InvestaX from Listing until the Closing Date (“Fundraising Period”), which shall be specified, and may be extended, by the Issuer on IX Prime. However, if the prescribed soft cap (if any) is fulfilled before the Closing Date, the Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, choose to close the Offering before the Closing Date.
When making an offer in respect of an Offering:
(a) an Investor shall deposit the relevant Funds;
(b) such Funds shall be locked until the Investor’s offer is accepted and/or approved by the Issuer and/or InvestaX;
(c) upon approval and/or acceptance by the Issuer and/or InvestaX, the Investor may be required to sign a purchase agreement/subscription document and any other document necessary to complete the Investment into the Offering, and thereafter:
(i) such Funds shall be released to the Issuer, less any applicable fee(s) payable to InvestaX; and
(ii) the corresponding Digital Securities in respect of that Offering shall be transferred or made available to the Investor for Third Party Custody.
InvestaX does not guarantee that an Offering will be successful or fulfill its soft cap (if any), or that an Offering will remain open for any guaranteed amount of time. An Offering may be terminated or cancelled:
(a) at the discretion of the Issuer; or
(b) by InvestaX for violation of the Terms of Use or the relevant Engagement Agreement.
If an Offering is terminated or cancelled at any time before the Closing Date:
(a) all Funds committed by each Investor into the Offering shall be returned to the Investor without interest and after deduction of any fee(s) payable to InvestaX; and

19. IX Trading
InvestaX operates IX Trading, a platform for peer to peer trading of Digital Securities. Investors who desire to enter into peer to peer Digital Securities purchase and sale transactions (“Transactions”) without being subject to the rules of any established central limit order book exchange can use IX Trading.
For any Transactions on IX Trading, InvestaX merely acts as a facilitator connecting buyers and sellers. Investors may submit buy and/or sell orders (“Quotes”) on IX Trading. Each Quote on IX Trading has a unique number called Order ID. The buyer Quotes for any Digital Security shall only be visible to the sellers and the seller Quotes will only be visible to the Buyers.
When a buyer responds to a seller’s Quote and has the requisite amount of Funds to fulfill the seller’s Quote, the trade is matched and settled. Similarly, when a seller responds to a buyer’s Quote, and if the seller has requisite amount of Digital Securities the trade gets matched and settled. Settlement is automatic and executed through smart contracts and onchain via the relevant blockchain.
On IX Trading, partial fills for a particular Quote is also allowed. In case of a partial fill for any Quote, the Quote gets adjusted to the extent the same has been filled, while the unfilled portion continues to appear on the IX trading Platform as an open Quote. Buyer and sellers are able to see their open trades, past trades and their trading history.
20. IX Exchange
InvestaX also operates IX Exchange, a platform which allows the secondary trading of Digital Securities. Only an Approved Registered User will be eligible to access the IX Exchange. Any Applicant seeking to list such Applicant’s Digital Securities on the IX Exchange shall submit a Listing Application to InvestaX, unless IX Exchange determines otherwise. In accordance with a Listing Application and the IX Exchange Rules, InvestaX Listing Committee shall review such Listing Application and any Registration Data provided in support of the same, in assessing, in its sole and absolute discretion, whether the Applicant passes the KYC/AML process and whether to approve (unconditionally or subject to any condition) or reject such Listing Application. The Listing Committee shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, approve or reject such Listing Application for any reason it deems fit, and InvestaX shall not be required to provide any reason for such approval or rejection. The Listing Committee shall notify the Applicant of its decision to approve or reject such Listing Application.
While accessing and using the IX Exchange, each Approved Registered User hereby acknowledges and confirms that such Approved Registered User:

Our Website is intended for “accredited investors”, “institutional investors” and “expert investors” (as defined under the SFA) who understand risk and are willing to bear the consequences, which may involve losing your entire investment. InvestaX may, in its sole discretion and without liability, refuse to offer the Services to any person or entity and change its eligibility criteria at any time.
If an Investor is a natural person, the Investor represents and warrants:
(a) the Investor is at least the age of majority in the Investor’s jurisdiction, and understands and is willing to bear the risks associated with investing into any Investment, which may involve losing all of the Investor’s funds. However, if the Investor resides in a state, country or other jurisdiction that requires a higher minimum age or criteria for the Investor’s use of the Website or participation in the Services, the Investor must comply with the Applicable laws and Regulations in that jurisdiction;
(b) the Investor has a working knowledge of the usage and intricacies of Digital Securities, and cryptographic and blockchain-based systems; and
(c) the Investor is not an undischarged bankrupt.
If an Investor is using the Website and/or the Services on behalf of a legal entity, the Investor represents and warrants that:
(a) such legal entity understands and is willing to bear the risks associated with investing into any Investment, which may involve losing all of such legal entity’s funds;
(b) such legal entity has a working knowledge of the usage and intricacies of Digital Securities, and cryptographic and blockchain-based systems;
(c) such legal entity is not the subject of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy or any voluntary or involuntary proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership or liquidation or contemplating ceasing its business;
(d) the Investor has the right and/or authority to make such representations and/or warranties on behalf of such legal entity; and
(e) the Investor may have to submit documents to show that the Investor has the authority to enter into agreements on behalf of a legal entity.
Furthermore, each Investor represents and warrants that all Registration Data the Investor submits to InvestaX is true and accurate.
09. Issuer and Applicant Approval
To become an Issuer or an Applicant, a Registered User will be required to fill out the requisite forms, which includes providing Registration Data such as personal, financial, tax information, and pass the KYC/AML process. Upon the successful completion by a Registered User of all the above steps and any further necessary steps, as may be determined by InvestaX, InvestaX may, in its sole and absolute discretion, approve the Registered User such that the Registered User shall thereafter:
(a) be deemed an Approved Registered User and Issuer, provided that the Approved Registered User and Issuer executes an agreement with InvestaX; or
(b) be deemed an Approved Registered User and Applicant, and permitted to submit a Listing Application to InvestaX to list such Applicant’s Digital Securities on the IX Exchange.
10. Issuer Offering Forms
Any prospective Issuer seeking to list a proposed Offering may be required to submit certain Offering Forms and documents to InvestaX. InvestaX shall, at its absolute discretion, review any such Offering Forms and documents by assessing if the Issuer fulfills the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements either alone or in combination, but:
(a) the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements are not exhaustive and InvestaX may impose additional requirements via any Additional Agreement entered into between InvestaX and Issuer, including but not limited to an Engagement Agreement; and
(b) compliance with the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements may not of itself ensure the suitability of the Offering for Listing on the Restricted Portion. While the size of an Issuer is important, greater emphasis is placed on factors such as the integrity of the management and the controlling shareholder(s) of the Issuer, an Issuer’s relative stability, an Issuer’s reputation and the quality of the Offering set out in the Offering Forms and documents submitted by the Issuer. In reviewing any such Offering Forms, InvestaX may contact the Issuer to understand the Issuer’s requirements and the details of the proposed Offering.
InvestaX has the sole and absolute discretion at any time to:
(a) modify the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements;
(b) consider all relevant circumstances in determining whether an Issuer satisfies the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements in respect of an Offering; and/or
(c) waive compliance in respect of all or any requirements mentioned in the Issuer Indicative Eligibility Requirements. Upon review of any Offering Forms and documents, InvestaX may, as it deems appropriate, enter into any Additional Agreements with the Issuer for the purposes of listing the Offering.
11. Verification of Registration Data
Upon creation of an Account, and from time to time thereafter, the Registration Data a User submits for registering with InvestaX will be subject to verification, screening and monitoring, including, but not limited to, validation against third-party public and private databases or the verification of identity documents or any official government or legal documents confirming User’s identity, address, source of funds or ability to act on behalf of a legal entity, verification of corporate appointments and directorships.
Each User authorises InvestaX, directly or indirectly, through third parties, to conduct any verification of the Registration Data which may be deemed necessary by InvestaX, including to establish the User’s identity and location, accreditation status and to confirm the User’s ownership of the User’s digital wallet (if any), subject to the Applicable Laws and Regulations.
All Investments are subject to customer due diligence checks and onboarding, which include KYC/AML checks. InvestaX is required to obtain, verify and record information which may include information that identifies natural persons, ultimate beneficial owners for legal entities and source of funds prior to allowing any Approved Registered User to participate in any Investment. Such Approved Registered User may be required to update such information and any Registration Data from time to time.
If an Approved Registered User’s Account has been involved in any fraud or crime or violation of any laws and regulations, or has been accessed unlawfully, or is otherwise involved in suspicious activity, then InvestaX reserves the right to investigate any such suspicious activity and to request documentation to confirm authenticity and accuracy of any Registration Data the Approved Registered User provided to InvestaX. The Approved Registered User’s Account may be restricted, closed or frozen while the investigation is pending.
Any Registration Data the User is required to provide InvestaX during the Account registration and approval process will be handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
12. Enhanced Due Diligence
InvestaX may, in its sole and absolute discretion and at any time, require any User to submit additional information, documents and/or records about the User or the entity on whose behalf the User acts, or provide information about the User’s key management personnel, beneficial owners and/or directors (collectively, “Enhanced Due Diligence”). InvestaX may charge the User fees for such Enhanced Due Diligence but InvestaX will provide the User with prior notice in such circumstances.
13. Fees and Payments

14. Investments
All Registered Users can access general information but only Investors can access the Restricted Portion to make Investments. An Investor can also see details and documents regarding any Offering, Listing or Trading, before making an Investment decision.
InvestaX conducts due diligence prior to any Offering, Listing or Trading on the Restricted Portion. However, InvestaX does not make any representations or warranties to any Users in respect of any such due diligence and InvestaX shall not be held liable for any errors, insufficiency, omissions or any inaccurate, misleading or false information contained in any such due diligence.
In order to make any Investment, each Investor accepts and acknowledges the following:
(a) Investment opportunities are made available on the Restricted Portion for the Investors to evaluate. Prior to making an Investment decision, the Investor should make the Investor’s own determination of the accuracy, adequacy, completeness and reliability of the information and materials available on the Website, perform the Investor’s own due diligence and seek advice from an independent legal, tax or financial advisor, where necessary, to determine the suitability and appropriateness of the Investment;
(b) The Investor is responsible for undertaking the Investor’s own independent investigation and assessment of all Investment opportunities, and the independent verification of any information provided through the Website;
(c) The Investor has made all necessary inquiries in respect of the relevant Digital Securities, including, but not limited to, their nature and objective, their key benefits and risks, their key rights and obligations, the ease of liquidating the Digital Securities, the commitment required, pricing, the fees and charges to be borne by the Investor, and any applicable charges or restrictions on withdrawal, surrender, buy back or redemption of the Digital Securities;
(d) The Investor shall be solely responsible, to the exclusion of InvestaX, for any and all of the Investor’s tax obligations that may arise from the Investor’s use of the Website;
(e) The Investor is financially and technically sophisticated enough to understand the inherent risks associated with using cryptographic and blockchain-based systems, and the Investor has a working knowledge of the usage and intricacies of Digital Securities, including that:
(i) blockchain-based transactions are irreversible;
(ii) markets for Digital Securities are highly volatile due to factors such as adoption, speculation, technology, security, thefts, fraud, loss of Digital Securities, digital wallets and/or private keys, and regulation;
(iii) the cost and speed of transacting with cryptographic and blockchain-based systems are variable and may increase dramatically at any time; and
(iv) Digital Securities may lose some or all of their value while they are invested through the InvestaX Platform, through the fluctuation of prices or volatility in the market.
(f) The Investor may be required to agree to certain disclosures before being allowed to make any Investment;
(g) The Investor is fully aware of the risks involved in any Investment. The Investor shall not make any Investment if the Investor does not understand the risks of such an Investment. Any Investment made by the Investor is at the Investor’s own risk;
(h) InvestaX shall not be liable for any loss, damage or liability which the Investor may incur in respect of any Investments made through InvestaX Platform;
(i) The InvestaX Platform is dependent on the availability of telecommunication and internet access. Therefore, the Investor accepts the risk of any failure of access to an internet network due to local, hardware and/or software issues. InvestaX shall not be responsible for any communication failures, technical disruption, errors, or delays, howsoever caused, which the Investor may experience when making Investments on the InvestaX;
(j) InvestaX shall not be liable for any act or omission of the Investor which causes any default, failure or cessation of any Investment, including but not limited to any incorrect or incomplete payment or transfer of Funds by the Investor. InvestaX accepts no responsibility for any such act or omission of the Investor;
(k) There may be resale restrictions applicable to a Digital Securities in respect of an Investment, which the Investor is required to and deemed to have knowledge of;
(l) Any document or material in connection with any Investment does not constitute an offer or solicitation by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is not authorized or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation;
(m) Participation in any Investment will be subject to the specific terms of that Investment. InvestaX makes no representation or warranty that any Investment will take place, or that if it takes place, that any Investor will be allowed to participate; and
(n) InvestaX reserves the right to discontinue any Investment activity at any time and in its sole and absolute discretion. In such circumstances, Investors shall not have any right, claim or cause of action in any way whatsoever against InvestaX in relation to such discontinuation.
Each Investor acknowledges that he/she/it is fully aware of the risks involved in undertaking any Investment, including but not limited to, the following:
(a) The regulation of Digital Securities is still in a very nascent stage of development, globally. A high degree of uncertainty as to how Digital Securities and related activities are to be treated, exists. The applicable legal, regulatory and tax framework may change in future. It is not possible to anticipate with any degree of certainty the nature of such regulatory evolution and the subsequent impact on Digital Securities. Each Investor should seek independent advice prior to deciding whether to undertake any Investment;
(b) Digital Securities are blockchain-based and the security, transferability, storage and accessibility of Digital Securities depend on factors outside of InvestaX control, such as the security, stability and suitability of the underlying blockchain, mining disruptions, and who has access to the private key of any digital wallet where Digital Securities are stored. InvestaX does not represent or otherwise assure that it can prevent such external factors from having any direct or indirect adverse impact on any of the Digital Securities. Adverse events caused by such external factors may result in the loss of some or all Digital Securities acquired and such loss may be irreversible;
(c) Digital Securities transactions may be irreversible. This includes transactions made fraudulently, erroneously, or accidentally. Digital Securities involved in such irreversible transactions may not be recoverable;
(d) The computer code for the Smart Contract for Digital Securities may contain flaws, errors, defects and bugs, which may disable some functionality of the such Digital Securities, expose an Investor’s information or otherwise be harmful to the Investor. Each Investor should review the functioning of the Smart Contract underpinning Digital Securities and seek advice from third party experts, if necessary, to understand it, before undertaking any Investment. Should the Smart Contract, based on which the Digital Securities are operated, cease to function for any reason, the ability of any existing Investor to transfer such Digital Securities to third parties or the ability of the transferees of such Digital Securities to exercise the rights associated with such Digital Securities may be impaired;
(e) No assurance can be given that an active and liquid trading market, or even a market at all, will develop or continue for the Digital Securities. The market price of Digital Securities (to the extent such a market develops) may be highly volatile. Such volatility could be caused not only by events involving the Issuer or Applicant but also by changes in general conditions in the economy or the financial markets. As a result of such fluctuations, Investors may not be able to resell their Digital Securities and may incur losses. Factors that could cause this volatility of the market price of Digital Securities include but are not limited to:
(i) perception of the success and impact of the Applicant or Issuer, and/or Digital Securities;
(ii) the entrance of new competitors or new products in the markets of the Applicant or Issuer, and/or Digital Securities;
(iii) the liquidity of the market for the Digital Securities;
(iv) new laws or regulations or changes in interpretations of existing laws and regulations affecting the Applicant or Issuer, and/or Digital Securities;
(v) general market and economic conditions; (vi) sentiment in the crypto industry; (vii) announcements of developments related to the Applicant’s or Issuer’s business; and/or
(viii) local market conditions;
(f) Digital Securities may be subject to the risk of market manipulation if the number of Digital Securities available for trading is low and/or the venues available for trading Digital Securities, such as exchanges, are limited;
(g) Digital Securities may be affected if the Applicant or Issuer becomes the subject of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy, or any voluntary or involuntary proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership or liquidation for the benefit of creditors, or ceases doing business. In such circumstances, Investors may not have full or any recourse;
(h) Each Investor is responsible for knowing such Investor’s digital wallet private keys and keeping them a secret. A private key, or a combination of private keys, is necessary to control and dispose of Digital Securities stored in the Investor’s digital wallet. The loss of an Investor’s private keys associated with the Investor’s digital wallet may result in the loss of the Investor’s Digital Securities through misappropriation or otherwise. Investawill never ask for an Investor’s private keys; and
(i) InvestaX is not responsible for and/or obliged to take steps to retrieve Digital Securities lost in any manner.
In the event of a default, failure or cessation of any Investment not due to the fault or election of Investors, InvestaX may, in its sole and absolute discretion, assist Investors with different recovery options, provided, however, that any costs in connection with any such recovery efforts shall be borne by the Investors.
15. Forks
Software protocols governing a Digital Security can experience sudden changes in operating rules that are outside InvestaX control (each change being a “Fork”). A Fork can have a material change on the operation, functionality, value or even name of a Digital Security. If a Fork occurs, it may result in the creation of a new Digital Security (“New Asset”) which is related to an existing Digital Security (“Previous Asset”). Therefore, Forks may result in multiple versions of a Digital Security 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 Securities, a Fork, InvestaX 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.
16. Approved Registered User's Monies
Unless otherwise specified by an Approved Registered User in writing, all Approved Registered User’s monies are deposited in a designated client money account (“Client Monies Account”) with a specified financial institution or a specified custodian as defined under SF (LCB)R. All Approved Registered User’s monies received by InvestaX shall be held in Client Monies Account segregated from its own monies and assets.
An Investor is required to transfer the Investment amount through wire transfer or any other banking channels into the Client Monies Account. Approved Registered User’scan transfer Fiat in Client Monies Account in US Dollars.
InvestaX allows an Investor to make an Investment in an Offering listed on IX Prime in Stablecoins. An Investor will be required to pre-fund Stablecoins in its whitelisted digital wallet on InvestaX. Upon Investment, the requisite Stablecoins will have to be transferred by the Investor to the Custody Account where it shall be kept on hold until the Closing Date.
The Funds of the Investor shall be kept on hold until the Closing Date.
In the event that the Offering does not progress or for any reason the Offering is cancelled by the Issuer, the hold shall be released and such Funds shall again become available to the Investor. If the Offering is fully funded, then on the Closing Date the Funds committed by the Investor shall be transferred to the Issuer without any interest and after deduction of all fee(s) payable to InvestaX, if any.
InvestaX may charge a withdrawal fee on any withdrawal by an Investor from the Client Monies Account at the rate notified to the Investor from time to time. InvestaX may also charge withdrawal fees from any Stablecoins withdrawn by an Investor at the rate notified to the Investor from time to time.
The Investors hereby acknowledge and agree that that for the purpose of the safe custody of their monies denominated in US dollars, InvestaX has a right to deposit the US dollars of such Investors in a segregated account which is designated as a trust or client account with a custodian or a financial institution outside Singapore which is licensed, registered or authorised to conduct a regulated business in the country or territory where the account is maintained. The Investors acknowledge the fact that the laws and practices relating to trust accounts in the country or territory under which the custodian or the financial institution is licensed, registered or authorized may be different from the laws and practices in Singapore relating to trust accounts, and such differences may affect the Investors ability to recover the monies deposited in the Client Monies Account.
The Investors hereby acknowledge and agree that for the purpose of the safe custody of their Stablecoins, InvestaX has a right to deposit such Stablecoins of Investors in a Custody Account with the Custodian or a financial institution outside Singapore which is licensed, registered or authorised to conduct a regulated business in the country or territory where the Custody Account is maintained. The Investors acknowledge the fact that the laws and practices relating to Custody Account in the country or territory under which the Custodian or the financial institution is licensed, registered or authorized may be different from the laws and practices in Singapore relating to Custody Account, and such differences may affect the Investors ability to recover the Stablecoins deposited in the Custody Account.
17. Investor Assets - Custody Provisions
Investor’s understand that when making an Investment into an Offering listed on the IX Prime, or while trading on IX Exchange their Digital Securities would be held in custody in a custody account provided by a third party custodian (“Third Party Custody”).
To provide Third Party Custody, InvestaX has entered into certain arrangements and opened a Custody Account (“Custody Account”) with a Custodian. Investors looking to avail Third Party Custody will have to acknowledge and agree to certain Third Party Custody Terms and Conditions. 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 Custodian will allow Investor’s to hold their Digital Securities and/or Stablecoins in a Custody Account maintained by the Custodian and to withdraw supported Digital Securities and/or Stablecoins from such Custody Account, in each case, pursuant to instructions that the Investor provides the Custodian through InvestaX (each such transaction is a "Custody Transaction"). The Custodian is the legal owner of the Digital Securities and Stablecoins and holds it for the benefit of the Investors. InvestaX is only an intermediary between the Custodian and the Investor and is hereby authorized by the Investor to give all directions, instructions, notices, requests, and undertake any administrative functions any other communications with respect to the Digital Securities and/or Stablecoins custodized with the Custodian.
The Custodian does not provide investment, tax, or legal advice, nor does it broker transactions. The Investors acknowledge that the Custodian has not provided and will not provide any advice, guidance or recommendations to the Investors with regard to the suitability or value of any Digital Securities and/or Stablecoins. All deposit and withdrawal transactions are executed based on the instructions given by InvestaX on behalf of the Investor and Investor is solely responsible for determining whether any investment, investment strategy, or related transaction involving the Digital Securities or any Stablecoins is appropriate for the Investor based on its own investment objectives, financial circumstances, and risk tolerance.
InvestaX reserves the right to appoint a different entity as the custodian subject to such entity being qualified and eligible to deliver the custody services that are necessary and/or incidental to the Digital Securities or Stablecoins without the need for any consent, authorisation or further act from the Investor. InvestaX shall notify each Investor of any new custodian.
18. IX Prime
An Issuer may list an Offering on IX Prime by executing an Engagement Agreement with InvestaX, subject to InvestaX’s approval in each case, which approval shall be in InvestaX’s sole and absolute discretion.
The details of any Offering are provided by Issuers and are only meant for the Investors’ information, and InvestaX does not provide any warranty as to the accuracy, truth and/or completeness of any such details. InvestaX shall not be held liable for any errors, omissions or any inaccurate, misleading or false information provided by any Issuer in respect of any Offering.
InvestaX may undertake social media reach-outs, reach-outs to targeted prospective Investors and/or marketing campaigns such as ask-me-anything sessions, on behalf of the Issuer.
In respect of any Offering, Investors may be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement with the Issuer prior to viewing the documents related to any Offering.
An Investor may make an offer in respect of an Offering by specifying the number of Digital Securities sought and the purchase amount, and such offer shall be subject to the approval and/or acceptance of the Issuer and/or InvestaX. All Offerings are open on the InvestaX from Listing until the Closing Date (“Fundraising Period”), which shall be specified, and may be extended, by the Issuer on IX Prime. However, if the prescribed soft cap (if any) is fulfilled before the Closing Date, the Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, choose to close the Offering before the Closing Date.
When making an offer in respect of an Offering:
(a) an Investor shall deposit the relevant Funds;
(b) such Funds shall be locked until the Investor’s offer is accepted and/or approved by the Issuer and/or InvestaX;
(c) upon approval and/or acceptance by the Issuer and/or InvestaX, the Investor may be required to sign a purchase agreement/subscription document and any other document necessary to complete the Investment into the Offering, and thereafter:
(i) such Funds shall be released to the Issuer, less any applicable fee(s) payable to InvestaX; and
(ii) the corresponding Digital Securities in respect of that Offering shall be transferred or made available to the Investor for Third Party Custody.
InvestaX does not guarantee that an Offering will be successful or fulfill its soft cap (if any), or that an Offering will remain open for any guaranteed amount of time. An Offering may be terminated or cancelled:
(a) at the discretion of the Issuer; or
(b) by InvestaX for violation of the Terms of Use or the relevant Engagement Agreement.
If an Offering is terminated or cancelled at any time before the Closing Date:
(a) all Funds committed by each Investor into the Offering shall be returned to the Investor without interest and after deduction of any fee(s) payable to InvestaX; and
(b) the Investor understands and accepts such risk, and the Investor acknowledges that the Investor shall have no recourse against InvestaX in such circumstances.
InvestaX may use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Issuers provide regular updates to Investors regarding any ongoing Offerings.
Any Fiat paid into the Client Monies Account by an Investor by bank wire transfer or any other means, if withdrawn by the Investor shall be returned, or will be repaid to the same bank account from which they were originally sent.
19. IX Trading
InvestaX operates IX Trading, a platform for peer to peer trading of Digital Securities. Investors who desire to enter into peer to peer Digital Securities purchase and sale transactions (“Transactions”) without being subject to the rules of any established central limit order book exchange can use IX Trading.
For any Transactions on IX Trading, InvestaX merely acts as a facilitator connecting buyers and sellers. Investors may submit buy and/or sell orders (“Quotes”) on IX Trading. Each Quote on IX Trading has a unique number called Order ID. The buyer Quotes for any Digital Security shall only be visible to the sellers and the seller Quotes will only be visible to the Buyers.
When a buyer responds to a seller’s Quote and has the requisite amount of Funds to fulfill the seller’s Quote, the trade is matched and settled. Similarly, when a seller responds to a buyer’s Quote, and if the seller has requisite amount of Digital Securities the trade gets matched and settled. Settlement is automatic and executed through smart contracts and onchain via the relevant blockchain.
On IX Trading, partial fills for a particular Quote is also allowed. In case of a partial fill for any Quote, the Quote gets adjusted to the extent the same has been filled, while the unfilled portion continues to appear on the IX trading Platform as an open Quote. Buyer and sellers are able to see their open trades, past trades and their trading history.
20. IX Exchange
InvestaX also operates IX Exchange, a platform which allows the secondary trading of Digital Securities. Only an Approved Registered User will be eligible to access the IX Exchange. Any Applicant seeking to list such Applicant’s Digital Securities on the IX Exchange shall submit a Listing Application to InvestaX, unless IX Exchange determines otherwise. In accordance with a Listing Application and the IX Exchange Rules, InvestaX Listing Committee shall review such Listing Application and any Registration Data provided in support of the same, in assessing, in its sole and absolute discretion, whether the Applicant passes the KYC/AML process and whether to approve (unconditionally or subject to any condition) or reject such Listing Application. The Listing Committee shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, approve or reject such Listing Application for any reason it deems fit, and InvestaX shall not be required to provide any reason for such approval or rejection. The Listing Committee shall notify the Applicant of its decision to approve or reject such Listing Application.
While accessing and using the IX Exchange, each Approved Registered User hereby acknowledges and confirms that such Approved Registered User:
(a) is fully aware of the risks involved in buying and selling Digital Securities.
(b) will not use the IX Exchange if they do not understand the risks of trading in Digital Securities.
(c) uses IX Exchange on their own risk;
(d) is fully responsible for undertaking their own independent investigation and assessment of all trades and their own independent verification of any information provided through IX Exchange;

(g) shall assume the risks of such investments and to the extent appropriate, has consulted a tax, legal and other advisers;
InvestaX shall not be liable for any loss, damage or liability
(a) which the Investor may incur in respect of any transactions entered into through IX Exchange;
(b) arising out or relating to any use of IX Exchange by an Approved Registered User; and
(c) for any: a) omission, inaccuracy or defect of price data in relation to Digital Securities; b) interruption or corruption of such data; c) error or delay in communication of such data; d) the actions of other Investors not authorized by us or in violation of these Terms of Use affecting price data.
21. Termination of User Account
InvestaX reserves the right to erase any or all of a User’s information from the Website, as well as to suspend, terminate or cancel a User’s Account without notice or liability, at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion. However, InvestaX may maintain copies of any User’s information insofar as necessary to comply with any record-keeping obligations prescribed by Applicable Laws and Regulations.

Additionally, the User may write to InvestaX at support@investax.io to request to suspend, terminate or cancel the User’s Account, where it may take up to thirty (30) days to process such request. Suspension, termination or cancellation of any User’s Account shall not be effective until the User has discharged all of the User’s obligations to any other User and/or to InvestaX.
22. International Investors
InvestaX currently does not accept persons or entities from the U.S. (except Issuers), Iran, Myanmar, Democratic People's Republic of Korea and any sanctioned country or any countries that InvestaX may specify, at its sole discretion, as Investors. InvestaX also does not accept any U.S. tax residents. InvestaX may accept persons or entities from any other country or jurisdiction as Investors where such Investors shall be permitted access to the Investment opportunities on the Restricted Portion insofar as such access does not violate the law of the Investors’ respective country or jurisdiction of residence.
23. U.S. and U.N. Economic Sanctions
Each Register User represents that the Registered User User or the legal entity on whose behalf the User acts, is not:

(b) located, organised or resident in a country or territory that is the subject of Sanctions or the FATF’s Blacklist; and/or
(c) listed in any list of sanctioned persons, including those maintained under the Sanctions, the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons or the Foreign Sanctions Evaders List maintained by OFAC.

Each User hereby grants to InvestaX and our agents a perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty free, irrevocable licence and right to transfer and transmit the User Data to these Third Parties Service Providers, subject to the Privacy Policy.
25. No Professional Advice Provided
