Services
Cap Expand Partners offers a range of financial services to its Users. These services are designed to assist Users in making informed decisions about their financial investments. Cap Expand Partners strives to provide accurate and timely information, but cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the information provided. Users are responsible for verifying the accuracy of the information and should seek additional information from other sources when making financial decisions.
Scope of Work
Unless stated otherwise, our services and fees do not include a formal opinion on the valuation of the User’s company or a valuation report. We do not provide any legal, tax, technical or related services. We will discuss with you and advise you as necessary on your proposed negotiating strategy with Capital Source(s). Where we negotiate on your behalf, you remain responsible for determining your own negotiating position and taking all decisions on how to proceed with the Transaction. All information prepared and distributed to (potential) Capital Source(s) will be your responsibility and Cap Expand Partners will act as an advisor only. We accept no responsibility for (the content of) these materials.
Reliance on Information
You will use all reasonable skill, care, and attention to ensure that all information we may reasonably require to perform the service is provided to us on a timely basis by you and is accurate, complete, and not misleading. You will also notify us if you subsequently learn that the information provided is incorrect or inaccurate or otherwise should not be relied on.
While the Engagement may involve an analysis of financial information and accounting records, the Engagement does not include an audit or review in accordance with generally accepted auditing or review standards of the Company’s existing business records. Accordingly, we assume no responsibility and make no representations with respect to the accuracy or completeness of any information provided by and on behalf of you.
Exclusivity
Unless agreed otherwise, all services provided by Cap Expand Partners are offered on an exclusive basis. We only provide financial services to our clients and do not act as a broker or agent for any third-party financial institutions or products. Our clients can trust that our advice and recommendations are based solely on their best interests and financial goals.
Fees and Payments
Cap Expand Partners charges fees for the Services it provides. The fee schedule for each Service is available upon request. Cap Expand Partners reserves the right to change the fee schedule at any time, with prior notice to the User. Invoices should be paid within 14 days, unless otherwise agreed. Any objections to invoices should be made within this period or will be considered null. In the event of a default in payment, Cap Expand Partners shall have the right to recover the outstanding amounts not only from the contracting party but also from its affiliated entities.
Trailing Rights
The capital-raising process often extends beyond the initial fundraising stage. While the primary goal is to secure the required capital from Investors, it frequently involves ongoing supervision and staged disbursements tailored to the User’s needs within the Transaction. This ensures that the capital is used wisely.
Cap Expand Partners, recognizing the dynamic nature of this process, incorporates trailing rights into its agreements. These rights are activated after an investor agrees to fund the User. Cap Expand Partners will receive its Success Fee for any subsequent capital contributions, which are part of the tranche arrangements outlined in the engagement terms.
Key points regarding Trailing Rights:
• Trailing Rights duration is either 24 months or until the last disbursement
• These rights are applicable only to investors introduced to the User by Cap Expand Partners.
Promotion
Cap Expand Partners reserve the right to promote their involvement in the Transaction as the exclusive financial advisor to the Client upon completion, including the use of the Client’s name. In case a press release is issued, the Client will mention Cap Expand Partners as their exclusive financial advisor during the Transaction.

Indemnification
The User agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Cap Expand Partners and its affiliates, agents, directors, employees, shareholders, successors, and assigns from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from the User’s use of the Services.
Termination of Services
Either the Client or Cap Expand Party may terminate the Services at any time, with or without cause, by providing a thirty (30) day written notice. This termination is subject to an applicable follow-on right.
Should a Transaction be finalized with a party identified by Cap Expand Partners within 24 months post-termination of the Services, Cap Expand Partners will be entitled to its predetermined Success Fee.
The follow-on right does not apply if the Services are terminated by a User due to gross negligence or a significant fault attributable to Cap Expand Partners.
