1.1 The DealMaker Hub Platform is an online deal flow network that enables registered users (“Members”) and certain third parties who seek equity investments (“Investment Entities”) to publish such equity investments on the DealMaker Hub Platform (“Listings”) and to communicate and transact directly with Members that are seeking to invest in such investment deals (“Investors”).

1.2 As the provider of the DealMaker Hub Platform, DealMaker Hub does not own, create, sell, resell, provide, control, manage, offer, deliver, or supply any Listings or investment Services. Investment entities alone are responsible for their Listings. When Investors make or invest an investment deal, they are entering into a contract directly with each other. DealMaker Hub is not and does not become a party to or other participant in any contractual relationship between Members, nor is DealMaker Hub a real estate broker, business broker or insurer. DealMaker Hub is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any Member, except as specified in the Payments Terms.

1.3 While we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes, DealMaker Hub has no control over and does not guarantee (i) the existence, quality, suitability, or legality of any Listings or Investment entity Services, (ii) the truth or accuracy of any Listing descriptions, Ratings, Reviews, or other Member Content (as defined below), or (iii) the performance or conduct of any Member or third party. DealMaker Hub does not endorse any Member, Listing or specific Service. Any references to a Member being “verified” (or similar language) only indicate that the Member has completed a relevant verification or identification process and nothing else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by DealMaker Hub about any Member, including of the Member’s identity or background or whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable. You should always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to invest in a particular investment deal. Verified Images (as defined below) are intended only to indicate a photographic representation of a Listing at the time the photograph was taken, and are therefore not an endorsement by DealMaker Hub of any Investment Entity or Listing.

1.4 If you choose to use the DealMaker Hub Platform as an Investment Entity (as defined below), your relationship with DealMaker Hub is limited to being independent and not an employee, agent, joint venturer or partner of DealMaker Hub for any reason, and you act exclusively on your own behalf and for your own benefit, and not on behalf, or for the benefit, of DealMaker Hub. DealMaker Hub does not, and shall not be deemed to, direct or control you generally or in your performance under these Terms specifically, including in connection with your provision of the Service. You acknowledge and agree that you have complete discretion whether to list your investment deal and engage in other business development activities.

DealMaker Hub cannot guarantee the accuracy or quality of such translations and Members are responsible for reviewing and verifying the accuracy of such translations.
