(b) Following receipt of such details, Floww Markets shall provide a disclosure framework to the Company setting out the information required to be disclosed to Investors prior to initiating the Fundraising Round (the “Disclosure Information”).

(i) to individual or categories of Investors on Floww that the Company has identified in accordance with the functionality available on Floww from time to time;
(ii) to the contact details (provided by the Company) of Investors that are not on Floww; and
(iii) subject to Clause 8.2 (Introducers), to an Introducer,
and the Company acknowledges and agrees that a Teaser is not a financial promotion for the purposes of the FCA Rules.
(e) Subject to the Investors: (i) satisfying the onboarding checks undertaken by Floww Markets and the Investor eligibility requirements (including any such requirements specified in the Teaser or otherwise notified by the Company or Floww Markets); and (ii) agreeing to the Investor Terms, the Investors that make an expression of interest in participating in the Fundraising Round (either directly or via an Introducer) will qualify as participating investors (together, the “Participating Investors”) and appear in the Company’s order book on Floww.

(vii) the Disclosure Information; and
(viii) a disclosure letter setting out certain additional specific disclosures (“Disclosure Letter”).
(g) The Invitation to Invest will remain open until the earlier of: (i) the Investment Deadline for such Invitation to Invest; or (ii) Settlement (the “Investment Window”).

Any additional Invitation to Invest and Investment Offer made in respect of each additional Invitational to Invest will not affect the validity of any previous Invitation to Invest or Investment Offer.
(i) If, within the relevant Investment Window, a Participating Investor wishes to increase the value of any Investment Offer, it shall provide an updated Offer Range within the relevant Investment Range using the functionality available on Floww from time to time. Such updated Offer Range shall be deemed an Investment Offer and replace such Participating Investor’s existing Investment Offer in respect of that Invitation to Invest.
(j) A Participating Investor may alternatively make a non-binding expression of interest to invest in the Company for a specified amount within the Investment Range in accordance with the parameters set by Floww and using the functionality available on Floww from time to time. The Company acknowledges and agrees that such expression of interest is not an offer to invest.

The Investor may also waive an Investment Condition if it is permitted to do so by any Invitation to Invest. The Company acknowledges and agrees that Floww Markets shall have no liability, of whatever nature, for any Losses incurred by the Company or any third party arising out of or in connection with any waiver of an Investment Conditions permitted by such Invitation to Invest.

15. FINANCIAL SERVICES COMPENSATION SCHEME
15.1 Floww Markets is covered by the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme (“FSCS”). The FSCS can pay compensation to investors if Floww Markets is unable to meet its obligations, including through insolvency. If the Company is an eligible claimant, the Company may be entitled to compensation from the scheme if Floww Markets cannot meet its obligations. This depends upon the type of business and the circumstances of the claim. The Company’s eligibility for compensation from the FSCS is not impacted by the Company categorisation specified in Clause 17.1 (Company Categorisation) but rather on how the Company’s organisation is constituted. The Company should note that the FSCS does not cover trading losses.
15.2 For further information about the FSCS (including the amounts covered and eligibility to claim) the Company may contact Floww Markets or please refer to the FSCS website at www.fscs.org.uk or call 0800 678 1100. There is a limit on how much compensation can be paid, currently (October 2022) that limit is at £85,000, and the Company should note that some conditions apply to qualify for compensation under the FSCS.

35.2 Each party acknowledges that, in entering into this Agreement, it does not rely on any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether it was made negligently or innocently) of any person (whether a party to this Agreement or not) (“Representation”) other than as expressly set out in this Agreement.

37. VARIATION
37.1 Floww Markets may, in its discretion, make changes to this Agreement from time to time. Any changes:
(a) to the duration of this Agreement;
(b) resulting in an increase in Fees; and/or
(c) that Floww Markets considers, in its absolute discretion, to be sufficiently material so as to constitute a material change,
(each a “Material Variation”) will be notified in writing to the Company no less than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed Material Variation coming into effect. No later than the expiry of the thirty (30) day notice period, the Company must notify Floww Markets in writing if it does not accept the proposed Material Variation, following which this Agreement will terminate with effect upon receipt of such notice by Floww Markets, and Clauses 31.8 to 31.10 (Consequences of Termination) shall apply. If the Company fails to notify Floww Markets in writing that it does not accept the proposed Material Variation within the thirty (30) day notice period, and continues its use of Floww thereafter, the Company will be deemed to have accepted such Material Variation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Material Variation that is required in order to comply with Applicable Law will become effective on notification by Floww Markets.
37.2 Any change that is not a Material Variation will be notified on Floww. The Company shall be responsible for monitoring any such notification e-mails and variations to this Agreement regarding non-Material Variations.
37.3 The continued use of Floww by the Company and the Company’s Registered Users following implementation of any variation to this Agreement will constitute acceptance of such variation.
37.4 Subject to the rest of this Clause 37, no variation or amendment of this Agreement shall be valid unless it is agreed in writing between the parties. Unless expressly agreed, no variation or amendment shall constitute a general waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor shall it affect any rights or obligations under or pursuant to this Agreement which have already accrued up to the date of variation or amendment, and the rights and obligations under or pursuant to this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, except and only to the extent that they are varied or amended.
38. SEVERANCE
38.1 If any provision or part-provision of this Agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed deleted, but that shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of this Agreement.
38.2 If any provision or part-provision of this Agreement is deemed deleted under Clause 38.1, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree a replacement provision that, to the greatest extent possible, achieves the intended commercial result of the original provision.
