Fundraising Success Fee
For introductions made by the Organiser through the Blue Earth Ventures network or at Blue Earth Summit, the Partner agrees to pay a Success Fee for any funds raised. The Success Fee is structured as follows:
- 5% on the value of any funds raised up to £2,000,000.
- 2.5% on funds raised beyond £2,000,000.
This fee applies to investments resulting directly from introductions made by the Organiser. A list of existing investor relationships must be provided within 7 days of signing the agreement. The Success Fee does not apply to future investments made by investors on this list.
Data Collection
As part of the membership application, the Partner agrees to provide the following information:
- Main Contact Name
- Main Contact Email
- Trading Name
- Company Name (if different from trading name)
- Company Registration Number
- Company Address
- Company Website
Confidentiality
Both the Organiser and the Partner agree to maintain confidentiality regarding any sensitive information shared. The Organiser will not disclose any information without the Partner’s written approval, unless required by law or regulatory authority. This confidentiality clause remains in effect for one year after the termination of this agreement.
Termination and Payment Obligations
There is a minimum initial commitment of 6 months for the membership. After the initial 6-month period, either the Partner or the Organiser may terminate the membership agreement with 1 month’s notice, provided in writing.
In the event of termination, if the Partner completes a fundraising round within 18 months of termination with any party introduced by the Organiser, the Organiser will still be entitled to the Success Fee as outlined in the agreement.
This now reflects the 6-month commitment and the 1-month notice period post that timeframe.
Non-Circumvention
The Partner agrees not to circumvent or bypass the terms of this agreement to avoid payment of the Success Fee. The Partner must report all investments resulting from introductions made by the Organiser.
General
The Organiser is not responsible for providing any specialist advice outside the scope of this agreement, such as legal, financial, or regulatory counsel.
All final business and financial decisions are the responsibility of the Partner, who should seek appropriate advice where necessary.
By signing up as a Blue Earth Ventures Member, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these terms and conditions.
