Sending information

• Those Promoters who wish to obtain financing through investment crowdfunding must send Crowdfunding Bizkaia all the information and documentation required in relation to their project.

• Crowdfunding Bizkaia assumes the commitment to carry out the validation process, this implies making a decision on the publication of projects, as quickly as possible. It also undertakes to take a decision within ten (10) working days from the date on which the Promoter has made available to Crowdfunding Bizkaia all the information and documentation requested.

• Crowdfunding Bizkaia will communicate to the Promoters the result of the project selection process by e-mail (whether or not it has been selected for publication).

Consulting

• Once the project has successfully passed the selection process, the Crowdfunding Bizkaia team works together with the Promoters, offering the necessary accompaniment and advice.

Publication of projects

• After publication of the project, the project will remain active on the platform for a maximum period of fifty (50) calendar days, unless the funding objective is achieved earlier.

• Once published, the project cannot be modified.

• In the event that fifty (50) days have elapsed since the opening of the financing round without at least 100% of the financing requested having been reached, Crowdfunding Bizkaia reserves the right to extend this period by 25% in order to complete the funding target.

• In case that 100% of the requested financing is not reached within the period (including the extension mentioned in the previous paragraph), Crowdfunding Bizkaia reserves the right to grant the financing provided that at least 90% of the funding target is reached, once deducted the shares that the Crowdfunding Bizkaia platform itself may have in the project.

• After the formalization of the investment, the Promoters assume the commitment to send to the investors, the information related to the evolution of the project.
