4.1 Service 1: Presentation of Startups

4.1.1 Presentation of Service 1 – Akka offers a service that consists of providing Members, through its Platform, general information about Startups seeking funds. To present a Startup on its Platform, Akka enters into a service contract with each Startup. It is important to note that the fundraising requested by Startups can take various forms, including capital increases, convertible notes, issuance of bonds, or securities giving access to capital.

4.1.2 No Financial Investment Advice – Akka conducts a preliminary analysis of each Startup and its fundraising project before presenting them on the Platform. It is important for Members to understand that Service 1 consists solely of providing general information about the Startup. Consequently: (i) Service 1 is not an investment advisory activity; (ii) Access to Service 1 does not constitute a personalized investment recommendation; and (iii) Akka will not provide any advice to Members and will not monitor investments made by Members through Service 1.

4.1.3 Knowledge of General Asset Management Principles – The Member expressly declares to know and apply the essential rules of asset management related to investing in unlisted companies' capital, including: Do not invest more than 5-10% of your non-real estate assets in this asset class. Do not invest savings that may be needed in the short or medium term. Diversify investments within this asset class as much as possible. The return on investment depends on the success of the funded project.

4.1.4 Anti-Money Laundering – KYC – Since the Service 1 offered by Akka is limited to presenting Startups, Akka is not a financial intermediary legally obliged to comply with AML regulations. However, Akka reserves the right to request from any Member the necessary KYC documents including: copy of identity document, proof of residence, form on the origin of income and assets. For legal entities: articles of incorporation, certificate of validity, copy of the most recent financial statements, bylaws, certificate of beneficial ownership.

4.2 Service 2: Investment in a Vehicle Created by Akka

The shares are subscribed through investment vehicles created by Akka. Service 2 takes place in two distinct phases: the Intention Period, during which each Member can express their intention to subscribe, and the Subscription Period, during which Members who have expressed an intention must actually subscribe and proceed with payment.

If the intentions expressed exceed the maximum amount planned, Akka will use an algorithm to select the Members eligible to participate. Members who have expressed an intention but have not effectively subscribed within the communicated time period may be excluded from the investment opportunity, and the fees indicated in clause 8.2 will still be due to Akka.

Regarding payments, Akka manages them through the Lemonway payment gateway. Users accept Lemonway's terms and conditions as part of the services offered by Akka.

4.3 Service 3: Access to Events Organized by Akka

Akka will create a tool that allows Members to access events organized by Akka through its clubs. Akka does not guarantee the number of events.
