Disclaimer and Risk Warning
Our site is a marketplace that allows you to invest directly in a property provided by third parties. As a marketplace,
we do not own or sell the properties or investment opportunities which are displayed on our site.
You acknowledge and agree that no content published on our site constitutes a recommendation that any particular
investment, portfolio of investments, transaction, or investment strategy is suitable or advisable for you or any other
specific person. You further understand that neither we nor any of the information providers, their affiliates nor any
third parties will advise you personally concerning the nature, potential, advisability, value or suitability of any
particular investment, portfolio of investments, transaction, investment strategy, or other matter.
The content and material available on our site are for informational purposes only and are not intended to address
your particular requirements. In particular, the content and material available on our site does not constitute any form
of advice or recommendation by us, should not be regarded as an offer, solicitation, invitation or recommendation to

in making (or refraining from making) any specific investment or other decisions. We recommend that you seek
independent advice from a financial advisor before making any such decision.
The value of investments and the income derived from them can fluctuate, and you may not necessarily recover the
amount you invested. Past performance of an investment is not necessarily a guide to its future performance. It may

of the risks to which they are exposed.

guaranteed by these sources, by us, nor by the information providers or any other person or entity and may not be
complete or accurate.

business factors and other factors outside of our control and we do not guarantee that the returns advertised will be
available to you at any point in time.
Nothing included on our site constitutes an offer or solicitation to sell, or distribution of, investments and related
services to anyone in any jurisdiction.
From time to time, reference may be made on our site to prior investments or data we have published. These
references may be selective or, may be partial. As markets change continuously, previously published information
and data may not be current and should not be relied upon.
