Users must register their information for a User-type specific account.

Funders: Funders are high net worth individuals and organizations that qualify as accredited Funders and who have expressed an interest in impact investing opportunities. These organizations may include: private foundations, financial institutions, corporations, social venture capital/private equity funds, donor-advised funds, trusts, estates, etc. Funders may connect with any other User type, however the other User(s) must accept the Funder’s invitation. Some bespoke configurations of the system may allow for other options whereby other Users may not initiate contact with an Funder, or only specific Users may initiate contact with an Funder. The Impact Organizations described in the Pipeline may only be purchased by Accredited Funders, as defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Regulation D").

The Network makes no representation as to the completeness or accuracy of the information provided on the Website. The Network is a knowledge sharing community and does not endorse or represent the reliability or accuracy of any content or information distributed through or accessed from the Website. The Network shall not be liable for any investment decisions made based upon such information. You agree that any reliance upon any content or information distributed through or accessed from the Website is at your sole risk. The Network is entitled to rely upon the information provided by its users. The Network cannot guarantee that Promoters will use the proceeds of their investment in accordance with the stated purpose. To the extent provided by law, the Network assumes no liability or responsibility for any errors or omissions in the content of the Website. The Network has not reviewed all of the links provided on the Website and is not responsible for the content of any off-Website pages. Clicking on hyperlinks and visiting any off-Website pages is done at your own risk.
All Funders engaged in the community on the Website agree that any contracts relating to diligence and arising as a result of connections formed on the Website may not be invoiced or paid through the Platform. No fees are generated through usage of the Platform by any User.
No payments for diligence contracts are at present executed through the Website; all payments between parties for diligence contracts must be handled offline, and should be made transparently so as to benefit all parties involved fairly in a given diligence process.
The Website presents a collaborative online environment whereby registered Users may work together in concert to complete a diligence report on any given Impact Organization listed in the Pipeline. There are approximately a dozen standardized Diligence “modules” at the disposal of Users of the Platform, all of which are optional and customizable and that reflect the aggregation of the diligence methodologies of several practitioners in the sector. These may increase or decrease in number over time, and some may be better suited for funds. [These modules are inclusive of a series of guidance questions that fulfil each of the areas of diligence typically including, but not limited to: the business opportunity, company analysis, governance and management, customer base, financial analysis, financial management, funding strategy, industry/market analysis, investment proposition, legal, risk assessment, social impact, technology, target population, and documentation requests. Each one of these modules reflects a series of standard queries and ‘information capture’ fields under each of the topic headings.]
[The first Funder to “signal interest” in any opportunity will be considered an ‘Interested Funder’, and will thereon determine (for a defined period of 30 days) which other Funders in the community may (or may not) join in to share in the process of Diligence. The Diligence process is split into a series of stages, where upon an Funder signals interest, initiates Diligence, signals that Diligence is underway, and signals that Diligence has been completed. The ‘interested Funder’ and any other engaged Funder may at any time signal that an investment commitment has been made to an Impact Organization. The final stage of confirmation is comprised of signaling only, and it is important to note that funds are not uploaded, transferred or transacted in any way through the Website at anytime. Furthermore, structuring any transaction must happen offline and outside the parameters of the Website.]
A number of options are presented to a given Funder once initial interest is signaled in an opportunity: 1) Diligence may be conducted by themselves, together with the help and input of the Promoter of the Impact Organization, 2) Diligence may be opened to a bidding/tender process involving a selected network of 3rd Parties who are Users of the Website, or 3) Diligence may be conducted together with which 3rd Party or ESO or peer Funder user the lead Funder may choose. The process thereon is self-explanatory, and the system is designed to maximize communication and encourage information sharing as it pertains to management of the transaction costs of seeing Funders achieve comfort with the Impact Organization the Network aims to support.
In the event that a User selects the option to either invite 3rd Parties to bid or appoint a 3rd Party entity capable of supporting the exercise of Diligence on a particular Impact Organization, the bid process and the entities party to it function independently of the Network and the Network does not take responsibility in any form for the outcome of such activities.
3rd Parties receiving information about an opportunity to conduct Diligence on behalf of an Funder on an Impact Organization are responsible for their own bid in terms of content, pricing and structure. They may or may not receive acknowledgement or a response from Funders in this process. It is the responsibility of 3rd Parties to negotiate their own agreements for service rendered to the Funders and to close their own contracts (including effectuation of invoicing and payment) as they see fit. The Network does not have any role, direct or indirect, in influencing or setting the pricing or terms for such work.
The Network incurs financial, administrative and other expenses associated with the operation of the Website and provision of Services. Invited Users of the system do not however have to pay any fees at the current time. We simply ask you to inform the Network community whether you plan to make an investment based on the diligence sourced through the Platform and to indicate the amount of such planned investment. The purpose of the Network continues to be knowledge-sharing and community building for the purpose of supporting greater collaboration in impact investment.
With the purpose of fostering cooperation in investments by each other in Impact Organizations, and considering the sharing of research and diligence documents which report upon Users’ investigations of Impact Organizations ("Materials") to be necessary to enable the co-investment by two or more Funders in Impact Organizations (a "Syndication"), the Users agree to abide by the following terms with respect to sharing of diligence:
Unless otherwise represented in writing by a User providing a particular set of Materials, it shall be understood by any User receiving Materials from another for the purposes of a Syndication that such Materials are provided "as is," without warranty, implied or otherwise, of accuracy, consistency or thoroughness about a given Impact Organization or its investment prospects. It shall be further understood that each Funder shall be responsible to conduct its own diligence independently, and that any reliance by one Funder upon the Materials of another shall be at such Funder’s own risk. No Funder is acting as agent or broker for the Impact Organization or for each other and the sharing of information is not intended as and shall not be deemed an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security. Users agree that the information being shared is highly confidential and is being made available solely for review in connection with each Funder’s evaluation of the Impact Organization. The information shall not be disclosed to any third party not affiliated with the User and may not be used or reproduced for any other purpose without the prior written consent of both the disclosing party and the Impact Organization.
All Funders acknowledge that the information, analysis, and conclusions contained in any diligence reports (regardless of the format of the submission, including Word documents, .pdfs, Powerpoints, Excel documents, or media of any kind) developed and/or posted by Users do not reflect recommendations of the Network or ANI. Neither the Network nor ANI shall, under any circumstances, be liable to any User for any loss or harm incurred as a result of reliance on such material. Neither ANI nor the Network is responsible for, nor can be held liable for, any misuse of any confidential material provided by the Promoters or any other person to the Funder in a diligence process or posted by any User on the Website.
You agree, in your individual capacity and on behalf of any Promoter for which you are an authorized representative, that the Network may send communications to you via your mailing address, email, telephone or facsimile number provided by you on your Account. You agree to notify us of any changes in your address or contact details. The Network may also deliver information verbally. Communications shall be deemed delivered to you when sent and not when received. Your use of electronic signatures to sign documents legally binds you in the same manner as if you had manually signed such documents.

You are obligated to review the Website periodically for changes and modifications and agree not to contest the admissibility or enforceability of the Website's electronically stored copy of this Agreement in any proceeding arising out of this Agreement.

You may revoke consent to electronic delivery of communications and receive a paper version at your election. The Network shall have a reasonable period to effect such a change and the Network may charge you a reasonable fee for sending such paper copies. If you elect to use electronic delivery, you agree and represent that you have a suitable computer with Internet access, an email address and the availability to download, save and/or print communications to retain a record of such communications. You agree that you are solely responsible for maintaining such equipment and services required for online access. You agree that any information that you transmit to the Website or to the Network in any manner including, but not limited to, pictures, videos, questions, comments, suggestions, website addresses and links to other website/articles, etc. is non-confidential and non-proprietary and can be used by the Network or its affiliates for any purpose. The Network is free to use any idea, concepts, know-how, techniques, etc. contained in any communication to the Website of the the Network for any purpose.
Expiry of Impact Organizations on the Platform In the event that an Impact Organization is listed in the Pipeline for longer than twelve months without receiving any signal of interest in conducting diligence, the Network reserves the right to remove the Impact Organization from the Pipeline, in which case the Promoter(s) responsible for originally posting the opportunity will be notified.

The failure of the Network to enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of the Network. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms of Use, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms of Use will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms of Use or otherwise. If for any reason a court or arbitral, as applicable, of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms of Use invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
Except as expressly provided in these Terms of Use, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to the Terms of Use. The Network shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate any of its responsibilities under these Terms of Use to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Network for the sale of substantially all of its assets. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. You further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.
