INTRODUCTION |

They may
optionally removed or amended to suit all of the parties in the agreement. |

INVESTOR DEFAULT |
|
Investors are
paid from revenues and exit proceeds so if one or more investors either
fail to meet their commitment or are late in delivery the the entrepreneur
and remaining investors would suffer a reduction in their rewards.
In the event that this occurred the system
would estimate the financial impact of that non delivery or lateness on
the entrepreneur and other investors for all of the subsequent pre-exit
stages will need to be evaluated followed by the entrepreneur and other
investors will be authorised by the defaulting investor to take the
following actions.
-
To rearrange an alternative
investor to fulfill the non or late delivery after a period of two
working days or 10% of the delivery duration of the supply whichever was
shorter and allocate the replacement investor all of the defaulting
investors reward.
-
It is envisaged that one or more
replacement investors would be lined up to replace investors providing a
critical resource or one that is difficult to obtain and that from the
outset all of the investors for a stage agree to a reduced reward
to allow the replacement of a percentage of the investor base at an
associated higher costs where required.
-
To mark the user profile of the
defaulting investor with details of the default to include a negative
quantative score to be used by the Pie Finance fulfillment matching
engine and a link to the project log detailing the default.
-
Where the defaulting investor felt that
they had been unfairly treated they would be free to appoint an
independent moderator to review the record of the default and advise us
to get their score and the project log changed if it was found to be
incorrect.
