Investor Terms

1. Scope

These Terms apply to individuals and organizations using VentureFlo to attend events, review startup information, request introductions, or explore funding opportunities.

They supplement the Terms of Participation and Privacy Policy.

2. Eligibility and representation

You must be at least 18, legally capable of participating, and authorized to act for any organization you represent.

Provide accurate information about your identity, role, investment preferences, and authority. Meet any legal eligibility, authorization, or verification requirements relevant to your proposed transaction.

3. VentureFlo's role

VentureFlo facilitates startup programs, events, and introductions. Registration or an introduction is not, by itself, investment advice, a recommendation, a securities offer, or authorization to conduct a regulated activity.

No term on this website confers regulatory approval. Any regulated activity requires the applicable authorization and separate arrangements.

VentureFlo does not undertake to receive, hold, pool, or manage investment funds through an ordinary investor registration.

4. Verification and startup information

We may review investor profiles and startup information for participation purposes. A "verified" label refers only to the checks expressly described.

Verification does not guarantee financial capacity, commercial performance, legal compliance, or the accuracy of every statement.

Startup materials may contain founder-reported information, estimates, and projections. Review reporting dates, assumptions, and the scope of any independent verification.

5. Independent investment decisions

You are responsible for your due diligence and investment decisions, including assessment of the founders, ownership, financial position, liabilities, business model, valuation, and proposed terms.

Obtain independent legal, tax, and financial advice where appropriate.

Early-stage investments may result in the loss of the entire amount invested. Returns, liquidity, repayment, and exit opportunities are not guaranteed.

6. Interest and commitments

Saving a startup, requesting an introduction, attending an event, or expressing interest does not create a funding commitment.

A funding commitment requires the relevant parties' separate agreement, including the amount, instrument, conditions, payment schedule, and responsibilities.

If you authorize a public announcement, it must accurately distinguish an expression of interest, a conditional commitment, and funds actually disbursed.

7. Payments and transaction terms

Before transferring money, independently confirm the recipient, authority, account details, documentation, and permitted payment route.

Do not transfer funds to VentureFlo or a representative for investment custody or onward investment unless a separate lawful arrangement expressly provides for it.

Any VentureFlo fee, commission, or transaction-related entitlement must be disclosed and agreed before it becomes payable.

8. Confidentiality and permitted use

Use restricted startup materials only to evaluate the relevant opportunity. Do not redistribute them, exploit confidential business information, or disclose personal information without permission or lawful justification.

VentureFlo does not automatically create a separate non-disclosure agreement between you and a founder. Agree one directly where required.

Private investor notes should remain private. Public pitches and publicly released materials are not confidential.

9. Conduct and conflicts

Treat founders and other participants professionally. Do not misrepresent your financial capacity, impersonate an institution, request improper payments, or use introductions for harassment or unrelated solicitation.

Disclose material conflicts relevant to a judging, mentoring, or investment role.

Any VentureFlo commercial interest in a transaction should be disclosed before the parties proceed.

10. Access, disputes, and contact

We may restrict access where reasonably necessary to address misuse, inaccurate information, security concerns, or legal obligations. Account restrictions do not cancel a separate investment agreement.

Pakistani law governs these Terms, subject to mandatory applicable requirements. Disputes may be brought before the courts having jurisdiction under applicable law.
