b. Platform operator: Rendity GmbH, headquartered in Vienna, with the address Lehargasse 7, 1010 Vienna, registered in the Commercial Register of the Commercial Court of Vienna under FN 438425 v is the operator of a crowdinvesting platform for real estate projects

2. Registering

(1) In order to use the Platform to its fullest extent, users must register and provide truthful personal information as requested. Natural persons are only permitted to register if they are at least 18 years of age and fully legally competent. Legal entities may only be registered by their authorized representatives. Multiple registrations are not permissible. There is no entitlement to register and use the Platform. The Platform operator may refuse a potential lender as a user at any time without further explanation and may terminate the Usage Agreement in compliance with Pt. 6 of the GTCs.
(2) Lenders must have their official residence within the European Economic Area and may only use the Platform on their own account. Registrations are highly personal and may not be transferred.
(3) Once registration is complete, the Platform operator will send the user a confirmation email. The user’s email address will only be confirmed when the activation link in this email is opened and registration is completed. After concluding the Agreement, users can review and change their data at any time under “Profile.”
(4) Registering with incorrect data is not permissible, and may cause the user to be blocked from the Platform. The Platform operator reserves the right without prior notice to delete registrations that were created with single-use email addresses (known as “disposable email addresses”) as well as registrations that are not activated within 2 months of being created.
(5) The User shall ensure that all information provided during the use of the Platform is truthful and up to date.
(6) When registering, users of the Platform choose a password for the registered account. The user hereby agrees to ensure that his/her login data, particularly the password, is not made accessible to third parties. The user is exclusively responsible for all activities performed using his/her account. If there is any indication that the account is being misused, or that third parties have nonetheless obtained knowledge of the login data, the user shall inform the Platform operator of this immediately.
(7) The Platform operator will never request personal data, especially login data, by email or phone.

3. Using the Platform

(1) The Platform operator shall provide the users of the Platform with information about real estate projects. Users of the Platform have an opportunity to participate in financing the projects by submitting an offer to conclude loan agreements. Individual offer acceptance by the real estate company shall involve the Platform operator as a carrier of declarations of intent. In this context, the Platform operator shall limit itself to providing sample documents and technical conditions for concluding the agreements, organizing the shipment of documents, and performing certain additional services for the project holders, particularly contract and data management as well as payment coordination. The Platform operator shall not provide any other services.
(2) All real estate companies and information provided by the real estate companies regarding real estate projects were chosen merely on the basis of a simple test, based on certain formal criteria, plausibility and coherence of the overall picture given a reasonable effort and cost. Thus the Platform operator is unable to state whether the real estate companies’ information is accurate. Above all, however, the Platform operator does not review whether or to what extent it is economically sensible for the user to grant a qualified, subordinated loan to the real estate company. This assessment and the associated decision about individual investments must be made independently at the user’s own discretion.
(3) The technical provision of information on the Platform and the ability to conclude agreements through the Platform do not constitute a recommendation or investment advice, nor legal or tax advice, from the Platform operator. Before concluding an agreement, it is recommended that users obtain economic, tax and legal advice, particularly from an attorney and a tax consultant.
(4) The investment process is only considered to be complete when an amount has been chosen, the agreement on granting a qualified, subordinated loan and all other relevant documents and materials for the investment process have been accepted, payment has been provided through a payment service provider, and the user has received a confirmation pertaining to the agreement.
(5) The real estate company as borrower expressly reserves the right to refuse offers from lenders without stating reasons. The lender therefore has no legal right to accept his offer.
(6) Upon acceptance of the offer by the real estate company as the borrower, the lender has the right to withdraw from the loan contract within 14 days.
(7) For a qualified, subordinated loan, the users shall bear a total default risk as lenders. The loan capital, including interest claims, cannot be reclaimed on the basis of the qualified, subordinated claim if this would create grounds for insolvency on the part of the borrower. This may lead to a total loss of the invested capital. Users are asked to please note the detailed risk information.
(8) Payments shall exclusively be made through an external payment service provider. The Platform operator shall not accept and/or make any payments.
(9) Use of the Platform is free of charge for users.
(10) At regular intervals, the platform offers users bonus promotions. These bonus promotions include the start-up bonus and investment bonus. For all bonus promotions (and resulting bonus credits) it applies that they cannot be redeemed in cash and that bonus promotions (and resulting bonus credits) cannot be combined. The Start-up Bonus must be consumed by the User within 14 days of registration on the Platform, after which the Start-up Bonus expires. The investment bonus is to be consumed within the period communicated on the platform. For the consumption of the respective bonus promotion it is sufficient to place a valid investment on the platform. Payment for the confirmation and execution of the investment, taking into account the amount of the bonus promotion, can also only be made subsequently. If no payment has been registered on the platform within four weeks after the investment has been made, the bonus promotion (and the resulting bonus credits) will expire. The platform reserves the right to change or update the terms and conditions of the bonus promotions at any time, in particular the amount and design of the respective bonus promotions.
(11) If there are signs that the Platform is being misused, particularly in the case of agreements concluded through the Platform without payment of the loan amounts owed as per the respective agreements, the operator reserves the right to block the user from use of the platform with immediate effect.
(12) The Platform operator is entitled to reduce, expand or otherwise change the services offered to users on the Platform at any time if this becomes necessary for good cause. (13) If an existing customer ("Referrer") successfully recruits a new customer ("Referred Party") to use Rendity's services, the Referrer and the Referred Party may share a bonus as set forth in the Promotion Terms. This bonus will be credited to the Wallet of the Referrer and the Referred Party. (14) The bonus will be activated only after the Referred has invested in a project on Rendity.com and the statutory withdrawal period has expired without revocation. (15) Once the bonus is credited to the Wallet, it remains valid for a period of 3 months. (16) The bonus can only be paid out after it has been invested at least once in a real estate project on Rendity.com. (17) The bonus cannot be paid out in cash, transferred, exchanged for other products or services, except as stated in these terms and conditions. (18) This promotion is subject to change or termination without prior notice. Any bonus earned prior to the termination of the promotion will remain valid according to the rules set forth in these terms and conditions.
