THE AUCTION PROCESS

6 Making a Sales Offer

6.1 Invoice Discounting Agreements can only be entered into as a result of Auctions via the Platform.

6.2 A Sales Offer shall be made in written format using the form set out in Annex 1 and must attach a copy of the Invoice, the Buyer's confirmation of the Invoice, the details of the Buyer and the Invoice, and the payment terms and conditions.

6.3 In order to initiate an Auction, following Acceptance in accordance with paragraph 5 above, the platform shall set out in the Sales Offer the Maximum Interest and the Minimum Sales and the end date of the Auction for Seller to approve.

6.4 If the Investors do not make Purchase Offers in the Auction that meet the Minimum Purchase Price, the Auction shall be deemed as failed and no Invoice Discounting Agreements shall be entered into as a result of that Auction.

6.5 Each Sales Offer shall be deemed as a binding offer (the "Offer") to all the Investors. After the Invoice Seller has confirmed the Sales Offer by entering the Investly password, the Platform shall confirm the Sales Offer matches the Accepted Invoice and if the Invoice is Accepted, the Platform shall launch an Auction, which shall last until the date specified in the Sales Offer.

6.6 In the course of the Auction, the Platform shall not disclose to the Investors the date of birth or the exact address of the Representative, the bank account statement of the Invoice Seller, the personal data of the Invoice Seller's creditors (except the details of the Buyer), amounts or unit prices on the invoice.

6.7 In the course of the Auction, the Platform may disclose to the Investors all information about the Invoice which the Invoice Seller has disclosed, except for the data specified in paragraph 6.6 above.

6.8 Every User shall see the Purchase Offers made in real time, including the highlighted Purchase Offer that would be the winning offer if the Auction were to end at that moment of time.

7 Sales prices and interest

7.1 The maximum interest of the Invoice Discounting Agreement to be entered into the Auction, i.e. the fee for financing the Invoice and using the funds (the "Maximum Interest") shall be agreed in the Sales Offer with the Invoice Seller.

7.2 The Maximum Interest will be the maximum annual interest established by the Platform in the course of Invoice Acceptance and which the Invoice Seller agrees to offer the Investor(s) for financing the Invoice pursuant to the Sales Offer.

7.3 The Minimum Sales Price is the minimum price calculated by the Platform during Acceptance and confirmed by the Invoice Seller in the Sales Offer, below which the Invoice Seller shall not assign the Claims arising from the Contract indicated on the Invoice. The Minimum Sales Price is calculated by the Platform using the following formula:

Minimum Sales Price = (Invoice amount – Agreement Fee, incl. VAT) / (1 + Maximum Interest / 365 * Invoice Financing Period)

7.4 The Invoice Financing Period shall be the number of days from the end of the Auction until the Repurchase Date.

7.5 As a result of the Purchase Offers made by the Investors in an Auction, the final interest may decrease in the course of the Auction and fall below the Maximum Interest established by the Invoice Seller upon initiating the Auction and thus the final fee for the assignment of Claims (the "Sales Price") may rise in the course of the Auction above the Minimum Sales Price on the basis of the final interest determined in the course of the Auction (the "Interest").

7.6 The Interest is the annual interest determined in the course of the Auction, for which the Investor(s) finance the Invoice and which determines the final fee for the assignment of the Claims (the Sales Price) for which the Investor(s) acquire the Claims arising from the Contract indicated on the Invoice from the Invoice Seller.

7.7 Upon financing an Invoice, interest shall not be charged on the Agreement Fee payable to the Platform by the Invoice Seller (see the formula in paragraph 7.3).

7.8 The Interest shall be presented with the accuracy of one decimal point both by the Invoice Seller in the Sales Offer upon initiating the Auction and by the Investors upon making Purchase Offers in the Auction.

8 Making a Purchase Offer

8.1 Investors shall be able to make Purchase Offers in the course of the Auction by specifying the offered purchase amount (the "Purchase Amount") and the offered minimum Interest (the "Minimum Interest"). On the basis of the Minimum Interest, the Platform shall automatically calculate the corresponding maximum sales price for the Claims (the "Maximum Sales Price") at which the Investor wishes to acquire all or a part of the Claims in the extent of the Purchase Amount.

8.2 The Purchase Amount is the amount specified by the Investor in the Purchase Offer, for which the Investor wishes to acquire all or a part of the Claims from the Invoice Seller.

8.3 The Minimum Interest or the return on the investment is the minimum annual interest specified by the Investor in the Purchase Offer, for which the Investor agrees to finance the Invoice fully or partly in the extent of the Purchase Amount during the Invoice Financing Period.

8.4 The Maximum Sales Price is the maximum price, for which the Investor wishes to acquire the Claims fully or partly in the extent of the Purchase Amount. The Maximum Sales Price is determined upon the calculation of the Minimum Interest for the Invoice Financing Period on the basis of the following formula:

Maximum Sales Price = (Invoice amount – Agreement Fee, incl. VAT) / (1 + Minimum Interest / 365 * Invoice Financing Period)

8.5 The Minimum Interest specified by the Investor in the Purchase Offer shall be lower than or equal to the Maximum Interest established by the Invoice Seller for that Auction. The Purchase Amount offered by the Investor shall be at least ten (10) pounds.

8.6 Making a Purchase Offer in an Auction shall be deemed acceptance of the respective Sales Offer (the 'acceptance') on the condition that the given Purchase Offer proves to be the winning offer of the Auction, considering the methods for determining the results of the Auction stipulated in paragraph 9 below and the Sales Price, Interest and Penalty Payment determined as a result thereof. A Purchase Offer shall be effective when a User submits their Purchase Offer and confirms their Investly password which is equivalent to the User's signature. Once the password is confirmed, the Purchase Offer shall remain valid and binding for the Investor who made the Purchase Offer until the end of the respective Auction after all the Invoice Discounting Agreements have been concluded or when, according to the methods for determining the Auction results as stipulated in paragraph 9 below, better binding Purchase Offers have been made than the respective Investor's Purchase Offer at least in the extent of the Sales Price determined in the course of that Auction.

8.7 In order to make a Purchase Offer, the Investor making the offer shall need to have unreserved funds in the extent of the offered Purchase Amount on their Investly account (and to the extent such funds are not available, the Investor may not submit the Purchase Offer). Upon a Purchase Offer being made, the offered amount shall be reserved on the Investly account of the Investor who confirmed the Purchase Offer with their Investly password.

8.8 The User shall not be able to use the reserved amount to make new Purchase Offers or transfer it from their Investly account, except to the Investly account of the Invoice Seller upon entry into an Invoice Discounting Agreement on the basis of the respective Purchase Offer. This restriction (and the reservation on the account) shall expire if the Auction ends without the Invoice Seller entering into an Invoice Discounting Agreement with the Investor who made the respective Purchase Offer and after expiry, the Investor shall be free to use the funds as it sees fit. Investors may not alter or withdraw their submitted Purchase Offers during the Auction. An Investor's Purchase Offer shall be binding for the Investor from the moment they have confirmed it with the Investly password.

9 Special provisions for Surety Factoring

9.1 Where, though the Acceptance process described in paragraph 5 above, the Invoice Seller is required to provide a guarantor, the Platform may accept an Invoice for sale in the Platform in accordance with this paragraph.

9.2 The Invoice Seller shall procure that its guarantor shall register as a User of the Platform and the guarantor shall execute a guarantee (in the form provided by Investly) and provide a copy to the Platform no later than the end of the Auction. The guarantee may be signed digitally or by hard copy. Hard copy guarantees shall be sent to the Platform Operator's postal address 65 London Wall, London EC2M 5TU.

9.3 The User acting as guarantor shall also be required to provide confirmation of their identity to Investly before the end of the Auction at the latest.

9.4 In the event that the User acting as guarantor has not submitted a signed guarantee to the Platform in a form acceptable to the Platform or has not provided sufficient evidence of their identity to the Platform of their person by the end of the Auction at the latest, the Auction shall be deemed as failed.

10 Special provisions for Secured Factoring

10.1 Where requested by the Platform as part of the Acceptance process, it shall be possible to enter into an Invoice Discounting Agreement secured by the granting of security over assets, such as a mortgage or other legal charge and such intention shall be noted on the applicable Sales Offer.

10.2 Before the end of the Auction at the latest, the User acting as surety or the Invoice Seller shall establish a security in favour of the Platform in a form acceptable to the Platform to secure the claims arising from the Invoice Discounting Agreement(s) to be signed between the Invoice Seller and the Investor(s).

10.3 The costs related to establishing the security (including any legal fees) shall be covered by the Invoice Seller.

10.4 In the event that the User acting as surety or the Invoice Seller has not established the security by the end of the Auction at the latest, the Auction shall be deemed as failed.

11 Creating the legal agreement to buy/sell invoices

11.1 The Invoice Discounting Agreement shall be deemed automatically entered into as of the end of the Auction between the Users who the Sales Offer and the Purchase Offer(s) that won the Auction.

11.2 The Platform shall register all the Purchase Offers made in the Auction in chronological order. The time provided by the Investly system shall be decisive.

11.3 Purchase Offers shall be ranked on the basis of the Minimum Interest and the Purchase Offer with the lowest Minimum Interest shall be deemed better than the others. In the event that the Minimum Interest of two or more Purchase Offers is equal, the offers shall be ranked on the basis of the time of making the offers, the earlier offer being ranked before the later offer(s). A Purchase Offer or Purchase Offers shall be deemed as successful, if the Purchase Amount thereof at least partly satisfies the Sales Price upon adding up the Purchase Amounts offered in the Purchase Offers ranked in such a manner as described above. The Users who have made the respective Purchase Offers shall be deemed as successful Investors.

11.4 An Invoice Discounting Agreement shall be deemed as entered into on the basis of the Sales Offer and the Purchase Offers ranked on the basis of the offered Minimum Interest (and chronologically, if necessary) as described in paragraph 11.3 so that an Invoice Discounting Agreement shall be first entered into with the Investor who made the best Purchase Offer and thereafter with the Investor who made the second best Purchase Offer. The total of Purchase Amounts of the Invoice Discounting Agreements entered into on the basis of one Sales Offer shall be at least equal to the Minimum Sales Price and shall not be higher than the Invoice amount, less the Agreement Fee, including VAT. If more Purchase Offers have been made than are required to fulfil a single Invoices' Sales Price, then the Investor who made the last ranked Purchase Offer (applicable to that Sales Price) shall only be required to contribute part of the Purchase Amount of the respective Purchase Offer so that the total of the Purchase Amounts of all the Invoice Discounting Agreements entered into on the basis of one Sales Offer is equal to the Sales Price as at the end of the Auction.

11.5 In the event that more than one Purchase Offer wins the Auction and the Minimum Interest offered in the respective Purchase Offers is different, the Invoice Discounting Agreements shall be entered into with the same interest as the highest Minimum Interest offered in the winning Purchase Offers (i.e. the interest of all the winning Purchase Offers shall be raised to the same level as the highest Minimum Interest offered among the winning Purchase Offers).

11.6 In the event that the total of the Purchase Amounts of the Purchase Offers made by the end of an Auction is lower than the Minimum Sales Price, the Auction shall be deemed as failed, the Sales Offer and the Purchase Offers as terminated and no Invoice Discounting Agreements shall be entered into on the basis of the Sales Offer. If no Claim assignment took place due to the failure of the Auction, the Platform may re-record the Invoice on the Platform or extend the Auction period on notice to the Invoice Seller and Investor(s).

11.7 At the end of the Auction, the Platform shall notify all the Investors who participated in the Auction of the result of the Auction, indicating the winning Investors of the Auction and the offers between whom and on the basis of which the Invoice Discounting Agreements were entered into. The Platform shall only disclose to other Users the usernames of the winning Investors and the Purchase Amounts and Minimum Interest offered.

11.8 The Platform shall transfer the funds reserved on the basis of the respective Purchase Offers on the Investly accounts of the Investors who won the Auction to the Investly account of the Invoice Seller after the end of the Auction. By making a Purchase Offer, the Investors grant the Platform the authorisation to make this transfer.

11.9 At the end of the Auction, the Platform shall immediately make the Sales Offer confirmed by the Invoice Seller with the Investly password available to every Investor who won the Auction, and the Purchase Offers confirmed by the winning Investors with the Investly password available to the Invoice Seller.

11.10 At the same time, the Platform shall make available to the Invoice Seller the confirmation of the official results of the Auction with regard to every offer that won the Auction in written reproducible format, indicating the name of the Invoice Seller and its Representative, the name(s) of the Investor(s), the time and/or code of the registration of the respective Purchase Offer(s), the offered Purchase Amounts, the offered interest, the date of entry into of the Invoice Discounting Agreement(s) entered into, the Purchase Amount(s) of the Loan Agreements entered into, the final Interest, the final Sales Price, the due date of the Invoice and the due date for the automatic re-assignment of the Claims (the Repurchase Date). The said data shall form an integral part of the Invoice Discounting Agreement(s) and binding for both the Invoice Seller and the Investor. This info also shall simultaneously be available to every Investor who won the Auction in written reproducible format.

12 Assignment of Claims

On payment in full of the Sales Price by the Investor(s) to the Invoice Seller, the applicable Claims (which are the subject of the relevant Invoice) shall be deemed assigned to the Investor(s).

13 Assignment and Notification of assignment of Claims

13.1 As part of making the Sales Offer, the Invoice Seller shall agree with Investly whether the Invoice Seller or the Platform Operator shall be responsible for giving the Buyer first notification of the assignment of their debt.

13.2 Where the Invoice Seller opts to use Investly for such notifications, the Platform shall after the successful end of the Auction automatically send the applicable Buyer notification of the assignment of the Claims to the e-mail address indicated in the Sales Offer and present the data and details of the new creditor(s), i.e. the Investor(s) for the payment of the Invoice to the Investly Account. The Claims shall be deemed as assigned with regard to the Buyer, when the Platform has sent the respective notification about the assignment of the Claims to the Buyer's e-mail. As of the moment of being notified of the assignment of the Claims, the Buyer shall be obliged to make payment of any outstanding amounts indicated on the Invoice together with any applicable value added tax, to the Investor(s) instead of to the Invoice Seller.

13.3 Investly also might request scan and paper copy of signed invoice assignment from the Seller. Once Investly has forwarded the request, Seller is responsible of delivering it to Investly.

13.4 Where the Invoice Seller does not choose to use Investly for notifications, the Invoice Seller shall upon the successful end of the Auction immediately send the Buyer an order by e-mail (with a copy also sent to Investly) to notify the Buyer that any outstanding payments should be sent to a settlement account, providing the following details:

15 Payment of Invoices

15.1 The Platform shall deduct the Agreement Fee payable to the Platform from the Invoice Amount paid by the Buyer. The Platform shall then transfer the remaining amount received from the Buyer to the Investly account(s) of the Investor(s) who are entitled to receive the respective payment under the Invoice Discounting Agreement(s) (i.e. the Platform shall divide and transfer the remaining amount to the Investors' Investly accounts proportionately to the ratio of the Purchase Amount related to the Invoice Discounting Agreement concluded with each Investor to the Invoice Sales Price).

15.2 If the amount paid by the Buyer is not sufficient to pay the Invoice amount, the Platform shall automatically divide the amount paid by the Buyer between the Investors proportionately to the ratio of the Purchase Amount related to the Invoice Discounting Agreement concluded with each Investor to the Invoice Sales Price. The Platform shall have the right to first deduct the Agreement Fee (inclusive of VAT) from the amounts received from the Buyer for the payment of the Invoice.

15.3 In the event of a delay in the payment of the amount indicated on the Invoice, the Investor shall be entitled to interest on the late payment, payable at the Interest rate set during the Auction, interest on the late payment shall be payable by the Buyer in accordance with the Contract or if no interest is stipulated in the Contract, interest shall be payable in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act. The Invoice Seller shall be responsible for paying the Interest to the Investor(s) and if the Interest rate set during the Auction is higher than that set out in the Contract (and recoverable by the Invoice Seller from the Buyer), the Invoice Seller shall pay the difference.

15.4 If (contrary to the order given under paragraph 13.3) the Buyer pays the Invoice Seller for the Claims assigned to the Investor(s), the Invoice Seller shall give immediate notice of the payment to the Platform and transfer the respective amount to the Invoice Seller's Investly account within three (3) Working Days at the latest from the receipt thereof. Upon the receipt of the payment from the Invoice Seller, the Platform shall transfer the respective amount from the Invoice Seller's Investly account to the Investly account(s) of the Investor(s) entitled to receive the respective payment under the Invoice Discounting Agreement(s).

15.5 The Platform Operator shall keep records of the assigned Claims and shall in the event specified in paragraph 13.2 send reminders to the Buyer's e-mail address, requesting the payment of the overdue Invoice.

15.6 If the Invoice Seller, with the consent of the Investor(s), sends the Buyer a credit invoice or otherwise reduces the amount payable by the Buyer under the Invoice or if the Buyer makes a proposal to the Invoice Seller to apply a discount, the Invoice Seller shall pay the amount corresponding to the reduction or discount part of the amount payable under the Invoice to the Investor(s) within five (5) Working Days as of applying such a concession. In order to pay the respective amount to the Investor(s), the Invoice Seller shall transfer the respective amount to its Investly account.

16 Conduct in case of payment problems

16.1 In the event of payment problems, the Platform shall retain the right to send notices to the Buyer regarding the arrears, using all the contact details disclosed by the Invoice Seller to the Platform Operator as well as other public data.

16.2 In the event that the Invoice Seller has entered into more than one Invoice Discounting Agreement via the Platform and the funds that the Buyer or the Invoice Seller has transferred to the Investly account for Invoice payment, Repurchase Price payment or any other payment are not sufficient for satisfying all the claims of the Investors, the claims for the collectible Invoice amount, Repurchase Price or other payments related to the Purchase Amounts paid by the Investors for the acquisition of the Claims shall be satisfied first, dividing the amount received from the Buyer or the Invoice Seller between the Investors proportionally according to the ratio of the Purchase Amount related to the Invoice Discounting Agreement entered into with every Investor to the Sales Price of the Invoice.

16.3 In the event that the Invoice Seller delays payment of the Repurchase Price or the Agreement Fee upon the application of the Repurchase Obligation, the Invoice Seller shall pay the Investor(s) or the Platform interest on the outstanding amount calculated from the moment the respective payment obligation becomes collectible until the proper fulfilment thereof. The rate of the interest shall be the final rate of the Interest determined in the course of the Auction.

16.4 The Platform shall not be liable for the non-performance or improper performance of the obligations of any Buyer or Investly User, including the delay in payment of an Invoice Seller, Investor or Buyer and any damage caused thereby.

17 Other contractual penalties

17.3 A breach of the obligations stipulated in paragraphs 5.6 to 5.8 shall be deemed as a material breach of the terms and conditions of the Invoice Discounting Agreement, for which the Investor(s) shall have the right to charge the Invoice Seller a contractual penalty via the Platform. The contractual penalty for every breach shall be five (5) percent of the Sales Price of the respective Invoice, which shall be divided between the Investors proportionately to the ratio of their Purchase Amount to the Sales Price.

17.4 If the Invoice Seller fails to properly fulfil the obligations arising from the Invoice Discounting Agreement and the Platform therefore sends the Invoice Seller a notice on behalf of the Investor, the Platform shall in the case of every breach have the right to demand compensation for the administration thereof and for the preparation and forwarding of the notice, in accordance with the Price List available here.
