However, you agree to comply with all relevant laws and regulations that may apply to your use of the platform in any jurisdiction in which you may be located. You agree that under no circumstances will you make any claim to the effect that our activities are conducted in, or subject to, the laws of any country other than those of Switzerland.

7. Identity and Anti-Money Laundering Checks. We have certain responsibilities under the Swiss Rules and other applicable regulations to verify the identity of, and run anti-money laundering checks on, members who act as investors (even if we generally do not manage directly any flow of money). In order to fulfil these responsibilities, we may use third-party identification checking services to confirm your identity when you first seek to transfer money into the Issuer Account. In the event that this service is not able to verify your identity to a sufficient level of authentication, you may be asked to send us physical or scanned versions of certain identification documents. From time to time we may need to run additional identity checks on you. In executing this Agreement, you expressly agree that we may run any and all of these checks on you, and that you may not be able to transfer money into the Issuer Account or make investments until and unless these checks are completed. We will not be liable for any losses, damages or costs arising from our conduct of these checks or your inability to transfer money or make investments while the checks are pending or as a result of the unsatisfactory completion of the checks.
8. Taxation. Your investments may be subject to tax. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and is subject to change in the future. For example, you may be liable to pay taxes on any dividends or gains you receive from your investments. Payment of taxes is entirely your responsibility we will not provide you with any statements or information with respect to your tax position or liability. In addition, you may be eligible for certain tax reliefs on investments you make. The availability of any such reliefs will be described in the relevant campaign and Investment Agreement. If you have any questions with respect to tax matters, you should consult a professional advisor.
9. Information on the Platform. In addition to the information set forth in each campaign, we may provide on the platform information about investing in or operating businesses generally or other matters that we believe may be relevant or of interest to you. We refer to this as “additional information”. None of the additional information, including information about historical returns and content in newsfeeds, can be relied on as a guarantee or indication of any particular result, and the additional information does not constitute any form of advice, recommendation or endorsement by us. We cannot assure you that any additional information is complete, accurate, up-to-date or error free, and we will not be liable to you for any loss, damages or costs if it is not. To the extent that any additional information constitutes links to other websites or third-party contact details, we take no responsibility for the availability or accuracy of such websites or contact details or the acts of such third parties.
10. Communications About Platform Activity. From time to time we may send you emails with information about activity on the platform, including new campaigns and the progress of existing ones. Any emails we send you about activity on the platform do not constitute advice or a recommendation to invest. From time to time we may also send you emails with respect to your membership, campaigns or investments, our business, this Agreement or other matters that we reasonably believe are relevant to you.

1. Secondary market. Smart contract. Buy proposal. Buyer will send crypto currency to the smart contract. Once the Seller will send the related amount of security tokens needed, the switch will be executed. If the Seller won’t comply, it may be admonished, suspended or banned from EDSX.
2. Secondary market. Smart contract. Sell proposal. The smart contract will lock the security tokens in the Seller’s wallet. Once the smart contract will receive the related amount of crypto currency from the Buyer, the switch will be executed. If the Buyer won’t comply, it may be admonished, suspended or banned from EDSX.

In the instance any disagreement shall arise, the Parties agree the Escrow Agent shall not be held liable for any costs, damages, or losses that may arise from duties performed.

If such disagreement between the Seller and Purchaser does occur the Escrow Agent will have the right to be discharged from this agreement by turning all agreements and documentation over to the jurisdiction responsible for this agreement that in this case is the court of Zug, Switzerland.

Any and all costs to the Escrow Agent from such proceedings shall be the responsibility of the Seller and the Purchaser.

2.13.1. Escrow

All funds received with regard to this escrow agreement shall be deposited into a bank selected by the Escrow Agent.

Any fees due to the Escrow Agent at the time of disbursement request may be deducted from the escrow disbursement amount prior to disbursement.

The Escrow Agent will hold any notifications and instructions they may receive as valid without the requirement to investigate or question the sender.

2.13.2. Liabilities

Under the following circumstances the Escrow Agent shall not be held liable or found at fault,

• For any omission or error by a party other than the Escrow Agent themselves.
• Any loss of funds directly related to the suspension, insolvency, or failure of the funds or the bank themselves.
• Any legal proceedings between the Purchaser and Seller
• There won’t be any interest accrued during the term of this Escrow Agreement.

2.14. Electronic Notices

1. Consent to Electronic Delivery. You agree and consent to receive electronically all communications, agreements, documents, receipts, notices and disclosures (collectively, “Communications”) that EDSX provides in connection with your EDSX Account and/or use of the EDSX Services. You agree that EDSX may provide these Communications to you by posting them via the Services, by emailing them to you at the email address you provide, and/or by sending an SMS or text message to a mobile phone number that you provide. Your carrier’s normal, messaging, data and other rates and fees may apply to any mobile Communications. However, your interactions with us and with other Seedrs members will take place almost entirely through the platform. If you are uncomfortable using the platform for these interactions, you should not execute this Agreement and become a EDSX member. You should maintain copies of electronic Communications by printing a paper copy or saving an electronic copy. You may also contact us through support [email protected] to request additional electronic copies of Communications or, for a fee, paper copies of Communications (as described below).
2. Hardware and Software Requirements. In order to access and retain electronic Communications, you will need a computer with an Internet connection that has a current web browser with cookies enabled. You will also need to have a valid email address on file with EDSX and have sufficient storage space to save past Communications or an installed printer to print them.
3. Withdrawal of Consent. You may withdraw your consent to receive electronic Communications by sending a withdrawal notice to support [email protected]. If you decline or withdraw consent to receive electronic Communications, EDSX may suspend or terminate your use of the Services.
4. Requesting Paper Copies. If, after you consent to receive Communications electronically, you would like a paper copy of a Communication we previously sent you, you may request a copy within 30 days after the date we provided the Communication to you by contacting support [email protected]. In order for us to send paper copies to you, you must have a current street address on file with EDSX. Please note that EDSX operates exclusively online and it is very burdensome for us to produce paper copies of Communications. Therefore, if you request paper copies, you understand and agree that EDSX may charge you a processing fee, in the amount described in the Fee Schedule, for each page of Communication requested.
5. Updating Contact Information. It is your responsibility to keep your email address and/or mobile phone number on file with EDSX up to date so that EDSX can communicate with you electronically. You understand and agree that if EDSX sends you an electronic Communication but you do not receive it because your email address or mobile phone number on file is incorrect, out of date, blocked by your service provider, or you are otherwise unable to receive electronic Communications, EDSX will be deemed to have provided the Communication to you. Please note that if you use a spam filter that blocks or re-routes emails from senders not listed in your email address book, you must add EDSX to your email address book so that you will be able to receive the Communications we send to you. You can update your email address, mobile phone number or street address at any time by logging into your EDSX Account. If your email address or mobile phone number becomes invalid such that electronic Communications sent to you by EDSX are returned, EDSX may deem your account to be inactive, and you may not be able to complete any transaction via our Services until we receive a valid, working email address or mobile phone number from you.

2.15. Unclaimed Property

If for any reason EDSX is holding Funds in your EDSX Account on your behalf, and EDSX is unable to return your Funds to your designated External Account after a period of inactivity, then EDSX may report and remit such Funds in accordance with applicable Swiss unclaimed property laws.

Other than class procedures and remedies discussed below, the arbitrator has the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court. Any dispute between the parties will be governed by these Terms and the laws of the Canton in Zug and applicable Swiss law, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. Whether the dispute is heard in arbitration or in court, you and EDSX will not commence against the other a class action, class arbitration or representative action or proceeding.
