Version 1.0
Version as of 19 April 2018

1. General

1.1 These general terms and conditions apply between You who registered as a user on the website www.sbpnordic.com (the “Bulletin Board”) and SBP Nordiska AB (“SBP”) and governs the terms of use of the Bulletin Board.

1.2 You accept these general terms and when register as a potential Lender on the Bulletin Board (below “Lender”, “You”).

1.3 Deviations from these general terms and conditions apply only to the extent that they have been agreed in writing between You and SBP and been signed by authorized representatives of each party.

1.4 If You act as an individual, You must be at least 18 years old and have full legal capacity in order for You to enter into these general terms and conditions and to use the Bulletin Board. If You act on behalf of a corporate entity or other legal person, You must be at least 18 years old, have full legal capacity, and be an authorized signatory, or have the authority to accept and bind the company that You represent in order to enter into these general terms and conditions.

2. The Bulletin Board

2.1 The Bulletin Board is operated by SBP, which is or has filed an application at Finansinspektionen (www.finansinspektionen.se) to become registered as a financial institution at pursuant to the Act (1996: 1006) on registration obligation for certain financial activities. Note that a registration as a financial institution does not mean that SBP is subject to ongoing supervision by Finansinspektionen.

2.2 SBP only act as an intermediary between the Lender and real estate companies in need of capital (“Borrowers”) who wish to market offer of property-related investments through loans or otherwise in private limited liability companies (“Investment”) via the Bulletin Board and Lenders who potentially wish to invest in such Investment.

2.3 All Investments that are marketed via the Bulletin Board are thus made directly between Lenders and Borrowers, and SBP does not offer and is not directly or indirectly liable, for any Investment or agreement and/or dispute between Lenders and Borrowers in connection with an Investment marketed on the Bulletin Board.

2.4 By agreeing to be bound by these general terms and conditions, You agree to receive offers related to Investments via the Bulletin Board.

3. Expression of interest

3.1 You as a Lender are offered the opportunity to submit an expression of interest in Investments marketed by Borrowers on the Bulletin Board. The terms of the respective Investment are stipulated in the Borrower’s offer marketed on the Bulletin Board.

3.2 After You have submitted an expression of interest, You may receive a final investment offer by the Borrower (“Investment Agreement”). An expression of interest for an Investment is therefore not a binding agreement between You and the Borrower. A binding agreement between You and the Borrower will only arise when You and the Borrower have signed the Investment Agreement. An Investment for which You have submitted an expression of interest can thus freely be canceled by the Borrower before a binding agreement has been concluded, e.g., if the Borrower has not received expression of interests covering the full amount of the Investment.

3.3 By accepting to be bound by these general terms and conditions, You guarantee that You will only make Investments and enter into Investment Agreements on your own behalf.

Persons who are resident, registered and/or taxable outside the EEA may not register to the Bulletin Board or submit an expression of interest in or make an Investment.

4.3 No Investments have been registered or will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 or under any equivalent law in any state in the United States, or under any applicable law in another country.

4.4 No Investments marketed via the Bulletin Board are either directly or indirectly directed to any country where the distribution of the Investment or marketing of the Investment is contrary to applicable laws or regulations or which requires that other measures are undertaken than those required under Swedish law, such as, for example, prospectus or registration requirements. No Investments marketed via the Bulletin Board are either directly or indirectly directed to persons whose participation for other purposes requires that other measures (such as the preparation of a prospectus or registration requirements) are undertaken than those measures required under Swedish law. Neither the offer of an Investment or the expression of interest in an Investment or other information available at the Bulletin Board may be distributed in or to countries where the distribution or offer of the Investment requires registration or that other measures than those required under Swedish law are undertaken or where the distribution of the Investment is contrary to applicable provisions of law in such country.

11. Risks

11.3 You acknowledge that an expression of interest does not result in a binding Investment Agreement and that the Borrower, until the conclusion of the Investment Agreement, is freely entitled to withdraw an offer for Investment marketed through the Bulletin Board.

11.4 The Borrower is solely responsible for the execution and management of the offer of the Investment and the Investment Agreement entered into with You. As Investments are made through loans to private limited companies or other investments in private limited companies, You should especially be aware that there may be limited opportunity for You to dispose of the Investment during the term of the Investment Agreement.

12. Limitation of liability

SBP is therefore not responsible for the accuracy of any information related to Investments submitted via the Bulletin Board and does not make any warranties or make any representations regarding such material or any estimates, calculations representations or other information contained therein. This applies regardless of whether the Borrower or other party has produced the material. SBP further does not provide any warranties or representations regarding the Bulletin Board or its function, availability, quality, usability or security.

12.2 As SBP only act as a pure link between Borrowers and Lenders by providing the Bulletin Board which is a pure marketing place, SBP is not responsible for damage, either directly or indirectly, that You suffer as a result of any Investment that are made or that You decide not to make e.g. as a result of (i) the unavailability of the Bulletin Board (ii) direct or indirect loss of capital in connection with an Investment (iii) You are not offered to pursue an Investment (iv) the non-performance of a Borrower of any of its obligations and/or relevant agreements, regulations, laws or other regulations (v) actions and/or decisions due to an Investment has not been taken and/or have been taken at the wrong time or to the wrong extent (vi) Borrowers have provided incorrect or misleading information about themselves, the offer of the Investment or otherwise.

If You are not a Consumer, SBP’s liability is under all circumstances limited to direct damages and SBP’s are thus never liable for indirect damages that You who are not a Consumer suffer and SBP’s liability shall never exceed an amount equivalent to one price base amount calculated in accordance with the Social Insurance Act (SFS 2010: 110).

13. Anti-Money Laundering
