Federal law restricts the sale of unregistered securities. You represent and warrant that if you are an individual, you are of legal age to form a binding contract, and that all registration information you submit is accurate and truthful. To view and invest in any securities offering on the Site, you must be an Accredited Investor which is defined as:

A natural person who has individual net worth, or joint net worth with the person’s spouse, that exceeds $1 million at the time of the purchase, excluding the value of your primary residence; [Explanation: Explanation. In calculating net worth, you include all of your assets (other than your primary residence) whether liquid or illiquid, such as cash, stock, securities, personal property and real estate based on the fair market value of such property MINUS all debts and liabilities (other than a mortgage or other debt secured by your primary residence). ]

a director, executive officer, or general partner of the company selling the securities;
a business in which all the equity owners are accredited investors; or

AgFunder IS ENTITLED TO RELY UPON YOUR REPRESENTATION. YOU AGREE TO IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY US OF ANY MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE IN SUCH INFORMATION.

Although only Accredited Investor may view and invest in securities offerings, the Site offers other services and feature for non-Accredited Investors. The Site permits non-Accredited Investors to view general presentations about different companies in the Agriculture industry. Issuers are prohibited from soliciting non-Accredited Investors or providing any information that may be deemed to be a general solicitation. Presentations and other third-party marketing material that is made available to non-Accredited Investors are provided for information purposes only. Additionally, the Site may also offer third-party research reports, industry news and career positing in connection with the agriculture sector.

Each Issuer is solely responsible for the material its posts on this Site and, by posting such material, represents that: (i) it has complied in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations; and (ii) such information will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make such statements not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it is made. The Site and Investors are entitled to rely upon any representations made by the Issuer.

Securities Products
Any Issuer listings on this Site are only suitable for Accredited Investors who are familiar with and willing to accept the high risk associated with private investments. Securities sold through private placements are not publicly traded and, therefore, are less liquid. Additionally, Investors may receive restricted stock that may be subject to holding period requirements. Companies seeking private placement investments tend to be in earlier stages of development and have not yet been fully tested in the public marketplace. Investing in private placements requires high risk tolerance, low liquidity concerns, and long-term commitments. Investors must be able to afford to lose their entire investment. For those reasons, these offerings may be made available only to certain institutional investors and high net worth individuals and entities.

The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise. Past performance is not a guarantee of future performance. Investors are solely responsible for conducting any legal, accounting or due diligence review. Investment products are not FDIC insured, may lose value, and there is no bank guarantee.

The securities being offered have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance, among other exemptions, on the exemptive provisions of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D under the Securities Act. Similar reliance has been placed on apparently available exemptions from securities registration or qualification requirements under applicable state securities laws. No assurance can be given that any offering currently qualifies or will continue to qualify under one or more of such exemptive provisions due to, among other things, the adequacy of disclosure and the manner of distribution, the existence of similar offerings in the past or in the future, or a change of any securities law or regulation that has retroactive effect. No governmental agency has reviewed the offerings posted on this Site and no state or federal agency has passed upon either the adequacy of the disclosure contained herein or the fairness of the terms of any offering. The exemptions relied upon for such offerings are significantly dependent upon the accuracy of the representations of the Investors to be made to the Company in connection with the offering. In the event that any such representations prove to be untrue, the registration exemptions relied upon by the Company in selling the securities might not be available and substantial liability to the Company would result under applicable securities laws for rescission or damages. These risks are non-exhaustive and are intended to highlight certain risks associate with investing in securities that are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

None of the information contained in the publicly available portions of the Site constitutes a recommendation, solicitation or offer to buy or sell any securities, options or other financial instruments or other assets or provide any investment advice or service. The information contained in the Site has been prepared by without reference to any particular user’s investment requirements or financial situation.
