Terms of Use

1. Purpose of this website

This website provides general information about EGM Foundry, its activities, capabilities and services.

EGM Foundry's activities are focused primarily on legal entities, commercial transactions, trade flows, contracts, commodities, logistics, financial information, technology and other corporate or transaction-level information.

Website content is provided for general business and informational purposes only. It should not be treated as a substitute for transaction-specific professional, legal, financial, tax, regulatory or other specialist advice.

2. Permitted use

You may use this website for legitimate business and informational purposes.

You must not:

• use the website unlawfully or fraudulently;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, servers or connected systems;
• introduce viruses, malicious software or other harmful material;
• interfere with the operation or security of the website;
• systematically scrape, harvest or reproduce website content without permission;
• misrepresent your identity or authority when communicating with EGM Foundry; or
• use EGM Foundry's content, name or branding in a misleading or unauthorised manner.

We may restrict or block access where we reasonably believe the website is being misused.

3. No financial, investment, legal or regulated advice

Nothing on this website constitutes financial advice, investment advice, legal advice, tax advice, credit advice or a personal recommendation.

EGM Foundry is not represented through this website as a bank, deposit-taking institution, custodian, payment institution, investment firm, investment adviser, broker, exchange, fund manager, money transmitter or other regulated financial institution.

Where a proposed transaction requires an activity that may only lawfully be performed by an authorised or regulated person, that activity must be undertaken by an appropriately authorised third party.

Nothing on this website constitutes an offer, commitment, guarantee or solicitation to finance, fund, arrange, execute, settle, tokenise, purchase or sell a transaction, asset or financial instrument.

Any commercial engagement with EGM Foundry is subject to separate agreement, appropriate due diligence and any applicable contractual, legal or regulatory requirements.

4. Corporate and transaction analysis

EGM Foundry's commercial methodologies are designed primarily to assess legal entities, commercial transactions and transaction characteristics.

These may include matters such as corporate information, financial statements, commodities, contracts, pricing, logistics, insurance, collateral, settlement structures, documentation, transaction milestones and market information.

EGM Foundry does not ordinarily use its website or its corporate transaction-assessment methodology to conduct personal credit scoring, behavioural profiling, personal wealth assessment or individual reputation scoring.

References on this website to screening, assessment, eligibility, risk analysis, monitoring or similar activities should therefore be understood in the context of corporate entities and commercial transactions unless expressly stated otherwise.

5. Identity verification and KYC

The website is not intended to operate as an identity-verification portal or repository for personal KYC documentation.

Unless EGM Foundry specifically requests otherwise through an appropriate process, you should not submit through this website or its general contact channels:

• passports or national identity documents;
• personal bank statements;
• personal credit reports;
• source-of-wealth documentation;
• criminal-record information;
• health information;
• PEP screening reports;
• detailed individual sanctions-screening records; or
• other sensitive personal information.

Where a bank, financier, regulated institution or other independent organisation requires identity verification, sanctions screening, PEP screening or other KYC procedures relating to individuals, that organisation may request and process the necessary information directly under its own legal, regulatory and privacy responsibilities.

EGM Foundry may rely on an appropriate corporate or transaction-level confirmation that required verification has been completed where this is relevant to a commercial transaction.

6. Enquiries and information submitted to us

You may contact EGM Foundry through the contact methods made available on the website.

Information submitted through the website should be limited to information reasonably necessary for the relevant business enquiry.

The website and general email address should not be treated as a secure virtual data room.

You should not submit commercially sensitive transaction documents, confidential financing materials, identification documents or other sensitive information unless EGM Foundry has requested them and an appropriate method of transmission and, where appropriate, confidentiality arrangement has been established.

Submitting an enquiry does not create an advisory, fiduciary, agency, financing, brokerage or other professional relationship between you and EGM Foundry.

7. Privacy

EGM Foundry processes limited personal information in connection with the administration, marketing and record-keeping of its own business.

Information about how we handle personal information, including business contact information and website enquiries, is provided in our Privacy Policy.

The Privacy Policy forms the primary statement governing EGM Foundry's handling of personal information through this website.

8. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the website and its contents—including text, designs, graphics, methodologies, diagrams, branding, logos and other materials—are owned by or licensed to EGM Foundry.

You may view the website and share links to publicly accessible pages for legitimate business purposes.

You may not, without prior written permission:

• reproduce substantial parts of the website;
• commercially exploit website content;
• reproduce or imitate EGM Foundry branding;
• modify and redistribute our materials as your own;
• use our proprietary materials to create competing commercial materials; or
• represent that EGM Foundry endorses or is associated with you where no such relationship exists.

Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual-property rights to you.

9. EGM Foundry methodologies and terminology

Terms used on this website such as “Deal Passport”, “controlled trade flow origination”, “eligibility assessment”, “risk mapping” and similar terminology may describe proprietary commercial concepts or methodologies developed or used by EGM Foundry.

Descriptions published on the website are high-level explanations only.

They do not create an obligation on EGM Foundry to apply any particular methodology, approve any transaction, provide financing, introduce any counterparty or achieve any particular commercial result.

10. Third-party organisations, links and services

The website may contain links or references to third-party websites, professional services, technology providers, financial institutions, platforms, publications or other organisations.

These are provided for convenience or informational purposes.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, the existence of a link or reference does not constitute an endorsement, partnership, agency relationship or recommendation.

EGM Foundry does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for their content, security, availability, privacy practices or terms.

Third parties may process information independently under their own terms, privacy notices and legal responsibilities.

11. Accuracy of information

We seek to ensure that information published on the website is useful and reasonably accurate when published.

However, markets, regulations, commercial circumstances, technology and other information may change.

We do not guarantee that all website information will at all times be complete, current, accurate or suitable for a particular transaction or purpose.

You should independently verify information that is material to a commercial, financial, legal or investment decision.

We may update, amend or remove website content without notice.

12. No reliance or transaction commitment

No person should enter into or refrain from entering into a transaction solely in reliance on information published on this website.

A transaction involving EGM Foundry will arise only where the relevant parties enter into the appropriate separate contractual arrangements.

Nothing on the website constitutes a representation that:

• a transaction will qualify for financing;
• capital will be available;
• a counterparty will be approved;
• a transaction will satisfy a financier's requirements;
• particular commercial terms will be available; or
• a transaction will successfully complete.

Any examples, structures or scenarios presented on the website are illustrative unless expressly stated otherwise.

13. Website availability and security

We aim to keep the website reasonably available and secure, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access.

We may suspend, restrict, change or discontinue any part of the website for maintenance, security, operational or other legitimate reasons.

You are responsible for maintaining appropriate security on the device, network and systems through which you access the website.

14. Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

Subject to those limitations and to the fullest extent permitted by law, EGM Foundry is not responsible for losses arising from:

• reliance solely on general website content;
• decisions made without appropriate independent professional or transaction-specific assessment;
• temporary website unavailability;
• third-party websites or services;
• information supplied by third parties; or
• unauthorised or unlawful use of the website.

Where you use this website in the course of business, EGM Foundry will not be liable for indirect or consequential business losses arising solely from use of, or reliance on, the website.

Nothing in this section affects liability arising under a separate written agreement with EGM Foundry, which will be governed by the terms of that agreement.

15. Confidentiality and separate agreements

These Terms govern use of the public website only.

They do not replace or modify any non-disclosure agreement, engagement letter, services agreement, transaction agreement or other written agreement entered into separately between EGM Foundry and another party.

Where there is a conflict between these website Terms and a separate written agreement concerning a specific engagement or transaction, the separate written agreement will govern that engagement or transaction.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our website, business activities, legal requirements or commercial practices.

The current version will be published on this website together with its most recent update date.

Continued use of the website following an update is subject to the version then in force.

17. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms and any non-contractual obligations arising from use of this website are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

The courts of England and Wales will have jurisdiction over disputes arising in connection with the website or these Terms, subject to any mandatory legal rights or jurisdictional rules that cannot lawfully be excluded.
