Once the Application has been submitted on the Site, the Investee Company may, at its absolute discretion, choose whether or not to accept your Investment. You will be notified by Concordia Wealth Fund platform if your Investment has been accepted. If you do not receive notice of acceptance of your Investment, your Investment has not been accepted.

2.3 An Investment is only complete once you have made payment of the subscription amount set out in your Application (“Investment Funds”).

3.2 Any investment opportunity made available on the Site may only be accepted by persons ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom, save in circumstances referred to in paragraph 3.12(e). You must notify Concordia Wealth Fund platform in the event you wish to make any Application from outside the United Kingdom. Where an Application appears to be made by a person not so resident, the directors of the relevant Investee Company (“Directors”) may request that you prove that you are entitled to apply under the laws of the country in which you are resident and if they are not satisfied, your Application may be rejected by the Directors.

3.3 The Investee Company may reject any Application. The Investee Company may also, at its absolute discretion, treat as valid any Application which does not fully comply with the conditions set out in the Application, these Terms and any other relevant terms set out on the Site.

The Directors reserve the right to re-open the subscription list in the event that there is a default on payment of the subscription price pursuant to any Application.

3.5 The Directors may extend the Offer End Date (in their sole discretion).

3.6 Where Applications have been received and the Maximum Cash Amount is exceeded, the relevant Investee Company shall seek to issue the debt instruments in accordance with its articles of association and then, if applicable, on a pro-rata basis (proportionate to the value and type of the debt instruments applied for) to all other applicants. This is subject always to the discretion of the Directors who may, by exercising their discretion, issue debt instruments in such proportions as they think fit (subject to the relevant Investee Company’s articles of association).

3.7 Once you have submitted your Application, you shall not be permitted to amend the terms of the Application, including the debt instruments you have applied for. If you wish to increase or decrease the debt instruments you have applied for, you must withdraw your application and re-submit a new application including the amended offer to subscribe for the debt instruments.

If such evidence is not provided, the Directors may, at their absolute discretion, terminate your Application in which event any monies paid by you on acceptance of Application will be returned to you.
