4. TERMS APPLICABLE TO THE BORROWER

4.1     FundTier will conduct an assessment on the Borrower’s application to borrow funds and during the process, FundTier may contact any relevant authorities or private companies to ascertain, verify and confirm relevant information about the Borrower including, but not limited to, its legal, operational or credit history. The Borrower hereby gives FundTier its express permission to do so.


4.2     Unless FundTier is required by the Law or has received prior written permission by the Borrower, FundTier will not reveal or disclose the documents provided by the Borrower to any third party.


4.3     Upon conclusion of FundTier’s assessment, FundTier will inform the Borrower of the outcome of the application and if successful, the proposed terms and conditions of the proposed financial instrument to be facilitated.


4.4     Upon the Borrower’s consent to the proposed terms and conditions, FundTier will invite prospective Lenders to commit funds to the Borrower. Please be informed that such facility request does not constitute an agreement to extend capital to the Borrower. It is only an agreement to open the request to the Lenders to commit funds to the facility. As such, this facility request will not be deemed as an offer to the Borrower.


4.5     The Borrower may elect whether or not to disclose its name in the facility request. The facility request will remain open for up to 30 calendar days, or for such period as may be agreed between Borrower and FundTier, starting from the day the facility request is first publicised to Lenders (the “Open Request Period”). At the expiry of the Open Request Period, if the total amount of funds pledged by the Lenders in aggregate toward the facility request is below 80% of the requested facility amount, the facility request shall be deemed to have expired and incapable of being accepted by the Borrower. The Borrower may withdraw the facility request at any time during the Open Request Period as long as the total amount pledged is below 80% of the requested facility amount.


4.6     Once the Lenders pledge a minimum of 80% of the requested facility amount, the Borrower will receive notification from FundTier. Upon receiving such notification:


a)     if the Borrower had elected to disclose its name in the facility request, the Borrower may at this point elect to either accept or reject the facility within 7 calendar days of receipt of the notification, or before the expiry of the Open Request Period, whichever is earlier (the “Borrower Decision Period”). If the Borrower neither accepts nor rejects the facility within the Borrower Decision Period, the Borrower is deemed to have accepted the facility amount that will be granted to the Borrower will equal the total amount pledged at the expiry of the Borrower Decision Period; or


b)     if the Borrower elected not to disclose its name in the facility request, the Borrower is obliged to disclose its name to Lenders who have pledged funds to the Borrower, Lenders have up to three (3) calendar days to withdraw their offer of funds to the Borrower. If at the expiry of the said timeframe, the pledged facility is maintained at a minimum of 80% of the requested facility amount the facility will remain open for further pledges until the Borrower elects to either accept or reject the facility within 7 calendar days in accordance with the terms and procedure set out in Clause 4.6(a) above. If the facility pledged falls below 80% of the requested facility amount the requested facility will be reopened and the terms and procedures set in Clauses 4.5 and 4.6 will apply.


4.7     The maximum facility amount that can be granted to the Borrower is the amount proposed to the Borrower by FundTier under the terms and conditions of the proposed financing instrument.


4.8     Upon the Borrower’s acceptance of the facility and the proposed terms and conditions of the financial instrument to be facilitated as stated at Clause 4.3, the Borrower agrees to enter into the relevant instrument and any related documents within the stipulated timeframe communicated to them by FundTier. The Borrower agrees to pay a sum of 1% of the facility amount to FundTier should they fail to enter into the relevant instrument on its part within that stipulated timeframe, whether due to its own act or failure to act.


4.9     Upon execution of the relevant agreement, the pledged amount held in the Escrow Account by the Escrow Agent will be made available to the Borrower, by way of a cheque, cashier’s order or bank transfer.


4.10     Upon registration, the Borrower will be able to input a referral code indicating a company or person that referred the Borrower to FundTier. Upon the Borrower’s successful application and following the execution of the relevant instrument, the Borrower and/or the referral partner may be compensated with a fee or a commission as regulated by the referral partnership agreement entered into between the referral partner and FundTier.


4.11     In consideration for the Services provided on the Platform, the Borrower agrees to pay the following:


a)     a one-time Origination Fee (subject to goods and services tax) to FundTier for arranging and rendering its Services to facilitate this loan which will be deducted upfront from the loan amount;


b)     a Processing Fee payable to FundTier every month for the duration of the loan tenor, as set out in an agreement entered into between the Borrower and FundTier; and


c)     all relevant fees to FundTier and/or any other relevant parties for arranging, facilitating, and administering the facility and the relevant instrument, whereby such relevant fees will be subject to goods and services tax.


5. TERMS APPLICABLE TO THE LENDER

5.1     FundTier reserves the right to reject the Lender’s application to any of the Services provided by FundTier.


5.2     As a registered user of the Platform, the Lender shall, inter alia, be able to:


a)     at the sole and complete discretion of FundTier, view a fact sheet on the Borrower; and


b)     pledge funds to note issuance requests from Borrowers on the Platform, such note issuance requests will remain open for the duration of the Open Request Period, or for such period as may be agreed in writing between the Borrower and FundTier.


5.3     The Lender will pledge funds via transferring such funds into the Escrow Account, whereby the Lender will be bound by the terms set out in the Escrow Account Agreement.


5.4     The Lender acknowledges that the funds held in the Escrow Account will be solely for the purpose of arranging an offer to fund the Borrower’s issuance requests. The holding of such funds should not be construed in any way to be the taking of deposits as defined under the Banking Act (Chapter 19) of Singapore.


5.5     The Lender further agrees that FundTier shall not, in any way, be liable or be charged for any interest and/or any other fees in relation to the funds held in the Escrow Account.


5.6     At the expiry of the Open Request Period, if the total amount of funds pledged by the Lenders in aggregate toward the facility request is below 80% of the requested facility amount, the facility request shall be deemed to have expired and will be cancelled.


5.7     Once the Lenders pledge a minimum of 80% of the requested facility amount, the Borrower will receive notification from FundTier. Upon receiving such notification:


a)     if the Borrower had elected to disclose its name in the facility request, the offer of facility made by the Lenders is binding and irrevocable unless the facility is cancelled (within a 30-day period). The Borrower may at this point elect to either accept or reject the facility within the Borrower Decision Period. If the Borrower neither accepts nor rejects the facility within the Borrower Decision Period, the Borrower is deemed to have accepted the facility, and the facility amount that will be granted to the Borrower will equal the total facility amount pledged at the expiry of the Borrower Decision Period; or


b)     if the Borrower elected not to disclose its name in the facility request, the Borrower is obliged to disclose its name to Lenders who have pledged funds to the Borrower, Lenders have up to three (3) calendar days to withdraw their offer of funds to the Borrower by sending an email to support@FundTier.com. If at the expiry of the said timeframe, the pledged facility is maintained at a minimum of 80% of the requested facility amount, the facility will remain open for further pledges until the Borrower elects to either accept or reject the facility within 7 calendar days in accordance with the terms and procedure set out in Clause 4.6(a) above. If the facility pledged falls below 80% of the requested facility amount, the request facility will be reopened and the terms and procedures set out in Clauses 4.5 and 4.6 will apply.


5.8     Each Lender can pledge a minimum of S$1,000.00, up to a maximum of the requested facility amount. The Borrower can only accept and be granted a maximum of 100% of the facility amount. The Lenders who pledged funds up to, and inclusive of, 100% of the facility amount will be considered first in funding the note issuance request or such other instrument as may be determined by FundTier from time to time. Should any of the Lenders first considered be unable to enter into an instrument to give effect to the facility, then FundTier may contact other Lenders who have pledged funds but were not first considered to participate as a Lender in the facility, provided always that FundTier retains its sole and absolute discretion in deciding who would be the Lenders in a proposed financing instrument.


5.9     Upon the Borrower’s acceptance of the facility, FundTier shall effect the transfer of such funds to the Borrower from the Escrow Account.


5.10     Prior to the successful transfer of such funds to the Borrower, FundTier will not, without the Lenders’ prior written consent, disclose any information of the Lenders, including but not limited to the Lenders’ name, unique entity number, directors of the Lenders, and any other information that may reveal its identity, to the Borrower until the date of the successful transfer of such funds to the Borrower.


5.11     Upon the successful transfer of such funds to the Borrower, the identities of the Lenders will not be made known to each other, but will be made known to the Borrower in order to effectuate the facility. Following the successful transfer of such funds, each Lender will earn interest based on the agreed rate on the facility amount that it has provided to the Borrower.


5.12     The Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that FundTier would serve as a facilitator and administrator with respect to, in relation to and in connection with the transfer of such funds made to the Borrower. The Lender further understands that in performing its rights and obligations under these Terms and the Escrow Account Agreement, it will bear the risk of any capital loss which may occur, in which case the Lender will not hold FundTier liable for any event or occurrence not within the control of FundTier including, but not limited to, the default or non-performance of the Borrower.


5.13     Upon the Borrower’s default or failure to comply with the obligations as set out in the relevant instrument, FundTier will serve as an administrator and facilitator in recovering, either through its own means, or by engaging a third party professional debt collection agency, the amount owed by the Borrower to the Lender. The Lender understands and agrees that despite FundTier using its best efforts, the full amount owed by the Borrower to the Lender may not be fully recovered.


5.14     The Lender acknowledges that he is solely responsible for understanding and complying with his tax obligations (including the payment of all taxes imposed by relevant authorities on any interests received) in all jurisdictions in which those obligations arise and relating to use of FundTier’s Services. Certain countries may have tax legislation with extra-territorial effect regardless of the Lender’s place of domicile, residence, citizenship or incorporation. FundTier does not provide tax advice. The Lender is advised to seek independent legal and tax advice, FundTier is not responsible for the Lender’s tax obligations in any jurisdiction which may arise including any that may relate specifically to the use of Services provided by FundTier.
