APPENDIX - PROMISEPAY AGREEMENT
Overview of CrowdfundUP’s proposed alternate payment arrangements
CrowdfundUP (CfUP) engages a third party electronic payment processing service, (PromisePay https://promisepay.com/) in order for PromisePay’s service to be linked within CfUP’s business introduction service platform (Platform).
When an Issuer creates a project profile on the Platform, it also enters into PromisePay’s User Terms (http://www.promisepay.com/seller_agreement) and any other PromisePay terms and conditions applicable to the Issuer. All such terms and conditions constitute an agreement directly between the Issuer and the PromisePay.
(a) CfUP is not a party to that agreement.
(b) CfUP has no authority to control funds paid to the Issuer by Investors using the PromisePay payment gateway
The Issuer’s project fundraising campaign commences (with a specified funding goal and funding period).
When an Investor wishes to express its interest in an Issuer’s project that is published on the Platform, the Investor creates a stored value account with PromisePay. This is an arrangement directly between the Investor and PromisePay.
(a) CfUP is not a party to that arrangement.
(b) CfUP has no authority to control funds in the Investor’s stored value
In accordance with the Platform’s procedures, the Investor and the Issuer proceed with expression of interest, offer and acceptance, all of which occur outside the Platform.
At the conclusion of the Issuer’s project fundraising campaign, either:
(a) the funding goal has been reached; or
(b) the funding goal has not been reached.
If the funding goal has not been reached, then:
(a) the Issuer’s securities offers lapse;
(b) the Issuer is not obliged to issue any securities to the Investor; and the Investor is not required to transfer any funds from its stored value account to the Issuer
The arrangements between the Investor and that Issuer are at an end.
(a) the Issuer issues the securities that the Investor has subscribed for;
(b) the Issuer sends the Investor an email requesting that the Investor transfer funds from the Investor’s stored value account to the Issuer, enclosing a link enabling the Investor to do so;
(c) the Investor authorises the payment from its stored value account to the Issuer; and
(d) the Issuer pays CrowdfundUP’s fee for the successful fundraising campaing out of the funds received from the Investor uder paragraph (c), by authorizing PromisePay to deduct CrowdfundUP’s fee from those funds
The transaction is thus concluded.
