TERMS AND CONDITIONS

gbt

This website https://globatalent.com/ (the "Website"), is a Website of Globatalent, a trademark owned by GBT World Limited a company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales, with corporate address at One Canada Square, Canary Wharf, Level 39, E14 5AB London, the United Kingdom, and registered with the Companies House under number 12266729 ("Globatalent", "we", "us", or "our").

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement ("Agreement") between you and Globatalent governing your access to, registration and use of the Website, including any subdomains thereof, and any other websites through which Globatalent makes its services available (collectively, "Site"), our mobile, tablet and other smart device applications, and application program interfaces (collectively, "Application") and all associated services (collectively, "Globatalent Services").

Our collection and use of personal information in connection with your access to and use of the Globatalent Marketplace is described in our Privacy Policy.

Issuers (as defined below) alone are responsible for identifying, understanding, and complying with all laws, rules and regulations that apply to their Listings (as defined below). In some countries, Issuers may have to register or obtain a license before carrying out any Listings or comply with specific requirements prior to the commercialisation of any tokens. Issuers are alone responsible for identifying and obtaining the relevant permits and authorisations. Certain types of Listings may be prohibited altogether. Penalties may include fines or other enforcement. If you have questions about how local laws apply to your Listing(s) on the Global Marketplace or on the Globatalent Exchange, you should always seek legal guidance.

1. Scope of Globatalent Services

Globatalent's core business is to provide athletes and clubs with access to peer-to-peer financing so that anyone in the world can invest in them and obtain a return depending on the professional evolution of the relevant club or athlete. With this purpose in mind, Globatalent has built and made available to investors, athletes and clubs a technology ecosystem consisting of an online marketplace in which most projects are shown to the public for the first time, which standardizes and digitizes the process of origination of the unsecured financing agreement (the “Tokenization Agreement”) that will be entered between athletes/clubs and investors to formalize the legal relation (the "Globatalent Marketplace") and an online trading platform that acts as a secondary market so investors may execute and ordinary non-recourse assignment of their contractual position under the aforementioned Tokenization Agreements in a frictionless way (the "Globatalent Exchange").

1.2 The Tokenization Agreement is a new type of financing agreement by means of which, the relevant club or athlete (the “Issuer”) receives peer-to-peer funding from investors all around the world (the “Investors”) in exchange for a percentage of the Issuer’s future revenues linked to its sports professional activity. The Tokenization Agreement does not follow the typical repayment scheme (i.e., each month the borrower pays an instalment in order to repay the loan, plus interest) instead, the repayment by the Issuer of the amount invested by the Investors will be dependant on the ability of the club or the athlete to generate income (for example, a tennis player that improves its performance and is able to climb positions in the ATP ranking, will be in a better position to turn out as a good investment for the Investors. On the other hand, in case the tennis player was not able to climb any position in the ATP ranking, it is less likely that Investors will see a return on their investment). Therefore, in exchange for a potential greater profit than the average lending investment, the Investors acknowledge and agree that there is a risk that upon the termination date, the amounts paid by the Issuer in connection with the Tokenization Agreement are inferior to the funding received by the Issuer initially. Just to clarify, in a Tokenization Agreement, the repayment of the funding provided and the interest rate are substituted by a payment that is contingent on the future performance of the athlete or club.

1.3 In this Terms, an Investor that purchases Tokens may also be referred to as a “Purchaser” and the term “Purchaser” may be used to jointly denominate Investors, Purchasers, Issuers and other third parties.

1.4 Once the Tokenization Agreement has been executed and, in order to ease the assignment of the contractual position of the Investors in the Globatalent Exchange, a number of tokens specific for each Tokenization Agreement will be generated (the “Tokens”). The Tokens represent a percentage of the contractual position of the Investors in the Tokenization Agreement (i.e., an Investor holding 3.5 Tokens, holds the 3.5% of the contractual position under the relevant Tokenization Agreement, being entitled to receive a 3.5% of the amount paid by the Issuer from time to time) and may only be issued in the Globatalent Marketplace (or in the Globatalent Exchange when applicable) and listed (the “Listing”) and traded in the Globatalent Marketplace. Each time a Token is transferred in the Globatalent Exchange, an assignment document will be generated automatically and stored by Globatalent (the “Assignment Document”).

1.5 To promote the Globatalent Marketplace and to increase the exposure of Listings to potential Purchasers and other Members, certain information referred to such Listings may be displayed on other websites, in applications, within emails, and in online and offline advertisements. To assist Members who speak different languages, Listings and other content may be translated, in whole or in part, into other languages. Globatalent cannot guarantee the accuracy or quality of such translations and Members are responsible for reviewing and verifying the accuracy of such translations.

1.6 While we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes, Globatalent has no control over and does not guarantee (i) the existence, quality, or legality of any Listings, (ii) the truth or accuracy of any Listing descriptions, ratings, reviews, or other Member Content (as defined below), or (iii) the performance or conduct of any Member or third party. Globatalent does not endorse any Member or Listing. Any references to a Member being "verified" (or similar language) only indicate that the Member has completed a relevant verification or identification process and nothing else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by Globatalent about any Member, including of the Member's identity or background or whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable. You should always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to support any Listings, or communicate and interact with other Members, whether online or in person.

1.7 If you choose to use the Globatalent Marketplace or the Globatalent Exchange as an Issuer, your relationship with Globatalent is limited to being an independent, third-party contractor, and not an employee, agent, joint venturer or partner of Globatalent for any reason, and you act exclusively on your own behalf and for your own benefit, and not on behalf, or for the benefit, of Globatalent. Globatalent does not, and shall not be deemed to, direct or control you generally or in your performance under these Terms. You acknowledge and agree that you have complete discretion whether to carry out any Listings or otherwise engage in other business activities.

1.8 To promote the Globatalent Marketplace and Globatalent Exchange and to increase the exposure of Listings to potential Purchasers and other Members, certain information referred to such Listings may be displayed on other websites, in applications, within emails, and in online and offline advertisements.

You are responsible for keeping your Listing information accurate and up-to-date at all times.

7.1.2 You are solely responsible for setting an initial price for your Listing ("Listing Fee"). Thereafter, the price of the Tokens will be determined by market conditions.

7.1.3 Any terms and conditions included in your Listing must not conflict with these Terms, unless Globatalent has expressly and in writing authorised such terms.

Globatalent reserves the right to require that Listings have a minimum number of Images of a certain format, size and resolution, as well as to request the Issuer to include further information.

7.1.5 The placement and ranking of Listings in search results on the Globatalent Marketplace or the Globatalent Exchange may vary and depend on a variety of factors, such as Purchasers search parameters and preferences, Issuers requirements, price and categories, reviews and ratings, type of sport, and/or any other elements Globatalent deems appropriate.

7.1.6 When you enter into a Tokenization Agreement and post a Listing, you are entering into a legally binding agreement with the Purchasers acquiring the relevant Tokens and are required to comply with your obligations as described in your Listing. You also agree to pay the applicable Issuer’s Fee and any applicable taxes.

7.1.7 The Issuer acknowledges that Globatalent (and/or its nominee) is duly authorised, mandated and empowered to act on behalf of the Purchasers or Assignees under the circumstances set out in paragraph 8.1.3 below, and undertakes to carry out any actions required to recognise such mandate and empowerment in an enforcement process or before any courts. The Issuer shall hold Globatalent harmless from any claims of the Purchasers filed as a result of the Issuer refusing to accept Globatalent as representative of the Purchasers.

8.1.1 Subject to meeting any requirements (such as completing any verification processes) set by Globatalent, you can purchase Tokens from a Listing available on the Globatalent Marketplace or the Globatalent Exchange by following the respective purchasing process.

You agree to pay the Total Fees for any purchases requested in connection with your Globatalent Account.

8.1.2 Upon receipt of a purchase confirmation from Globatalent, a legally binding agreement is formed between you and the relevant Issuer or Seller (as applicable).

Each Token represents a percentage of ownership of the Lender’s contractual position, granting the Purchaser all rights proportional to the amount of Tokens held. The Purchasers or Assignees will have no recourse whatsoever against any previous Lender, Assignee or against Globatalent.

8.1.3 The Purchaser mandates Globatalent to act on its behalf in case of enforcement against the Issuer due to a breach of the agreements binding the Issuer to the Purchaser and/or this Terms, or upon insolvency of the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing Globatalent shall have total discretion whether to act on its own name or through a nominee on behalf of the Purchaser and whether to initiate any enforcement actions against the Issuer, being Globatalent free of any liabilities whatsoever arising in connection with its actions pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph.
