Downing is providing a crowdfunding platform for registered members to access details of, and apply to invest in, or lend to, a variety of UK businesses. Such opportunities could include bonds, loan agreements, shares or other investments, each of which will be detailed in related offer documents on our Funding Platform. In these terms and conditions (Terms) we refer to these opportunities as investment products. The entity or company which registered members apply to invest in or lend to, and which issues the investment products, is referred to in these Terms as the borrower. The borrower will be identified in the related offer document as well.
These Terms set out important information including, without limitation, information regarding how you may make use of our Website as well as your rights, obligations and the restrictions that may apply when you use our Website. We recommend that you read these Terms carefully before using the Funding Platform.
Any reference to our group of companies is to any fund, co-investment fund, investment trust, company (whether limited or unlimited) or partnership managed or advised by Downing, any direct or indirect subsidiaries of Downing, or any partnership or company carrying on business in succession to Downing or of which any such party is the general partner.

The custodian is responsible for holding your investment money in its client account before it is invested in the investment product, and once any interest or capital is repaid from the borrower.
We may change the identity of the custodian or undertake this role ourselves directly but we will notify you before we make any changes to where your money is held. Any replacement custodian will be capable of fulfilling the appropriate legal and regulatory requirements and references to custodian will apply to any replacement custodian as is notified to you from time to time.
Any reference to the client account is to the custodian's aggregated client account where your money is held, segregated from Downing LLP's own funds.

These Terms govern the relationship between you and us when you access and use our Website. By accessing and continuing to use this Website, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms.
Please note that we may update and amend these Terms from time to time and any material changes will be both posted on this Website and sent to all registered users by email. Any such changes shall not apply to applications that have been accepted prior to the date of the change. However, it is your responsibility to ensure you review these Terms regularly to familiarise yourself with any changes. If you do not agree with any of our Terms or changes to these then you must not use our Website.
You will be asked to agree to further terms and conditions when buying specific investment products via this Funding Platform and in all cases the offer document will cover any terms specific to each investment product. If there is any inconsistency between these Terms and any such terms and conditions, the latter terms and conditions shall prevail.
You will be required to register your details and open an account to access the Funding Platform including to invest into any investment products. Short summaries of available offers can be viewed when browsing our Funding Platform hosted on the Website, but you will only be given access to detailed information about the investment products once you become a registered member.
Becoming a registered individual member involves providing us with your personal information including your name, email address, date of birth and address. You undertake to complete the registration form fully, and that all information provided is up-to-date, true, accurate and complete.
You must also provide us with the account details of the bank account from which you intend to make and receive payments (your nominated account) before we can make any interest or other payments to you. Your nominated account must be in the same name as the person who is registered as a member with us and must be held with a bank within the United Kingdom. Once you have nominated a bank account, we are required to verify that the bank account is in your name. If we cannot confirm this using our online bank account verification tool, we will require you to send us a certified copy of a bank statement header which clearly displays your name, address, sort code and account number. This must not be older than 3 months from the date you submit it to us.
We may accept or reject applications to register as a member and invest into investment products at our discretion acting reasonably.
Each registration is for a single user only. Your registration is not transferable and you must keep your registration details secure at all times, as these details will be used to identify you. You are responsible for all information and activity on this Funding Platform by any person using your details. If you authorise an agent, family member, employee or sub-contractor to use your registered member account with our Funding Platform (in contravention of these Terms), you will be responsible for the third party's activity on the account.
We have the right to disable any username or password at any time, if, in our opinion, you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these Terms.
Any breach of security, loss, theft or unauthorised use of your security details must be notified to us immediately. We reserve the right not to act on your instructions where we suspect that the person logged into your registered member account is not you or we suspect illegal or fraudulent activity or unauthorised use.
We do not accept responsibility for any loss you or anybody else may suffer because any instructions or information sent by you or us are sent in error, fail to reach the recipient or are distorted unless such loss results from our negligence, failure to exercise reasonable skill and care, fraud or our deliberate default.
We may rely on all communications given or made by you or anyone else using your username, account number and password which we reasonably believe to have been made by you or on your behalf. You will be bound by any agreement entered into or expense incurred on your behalf in reliance upon such a communication.
We will not be responsible for any payments from your nominated account or any loss you may suffer caused by your failure to keep your registration details confidential, your fraud or your failure to comply with these Terms. We will not be responsible for any act, omission, failure, fraud, delay, negligence, insolvency or default of any bank, financial institution, clearing or payments system, or regulatory, governmental or supra-national body or authority, nor for any failure or any disruption to any communications systems required to operate in order for any monies to be transferred. We shall not be responsible if it is or becomes unlawful for us to give any instruction or make any payment required by these Terms.
You agree not to adapt or circumvent the systems in place in connection with this Website, nor access our systems other than by using the credentials assigned to you and by following the instructions that we have provided for that type of connection.
As an Investor of the Downing Crowd platform you have been classified according to FCA guidelines as a Retail Client. Downing will notify you in writing if we wish to change this classification. Downing shall inform you in a durable medium about any right that clients have to request a different categorisation, and about any limitations to the level of protection that a different categorisation would entail. As a Downing Crowd investor, you have the right to request a different client categorisation at anytime via the investor type section of the website. However, if you choose to do so and if Downing agrees to such categorisation you may lose protections afforded by certain FCA Rules. More guidance relating to investor categorisation can be found here.
Services we provide to registered members.
If you become a registered member for the purposes of using the Funding Platform, we agree to provide you with the following services:
The ability to:
As a condition of your use of this Funding Platform, you agree to appoint Downing as a security trustee acting on your behalf. This means that you appoint us to hold the security interests (if any) granted by a borrower to secure the repayment of the investment products. This will involve us acting as your agent with authority to:
We will provide these services subject to these Terms.
There are no charges associated with setting up a registered member account, although there will be other charges if you choose to invest in an investment product. See section headed "Charges to Investors" below. You will be able to log in at any time in order to monitor your investment portfolio and/or investments at any time through the "My Account" section of this Funding Platform.
We will carry out what we consider to be reasonable due diligence on all borrowers and investment opportunities before featuring them on this Funding Platform, and where appropriate, will explain the extent of such due diligence in the relevant offer document. However, you should conduct your own research and analysis of an investment product and seek independent advice where appropriate. Please refer to the section on "Reliance on Information Posted and Disclaimer" below for more details.
When you become a registered member we are required by law to undertake checks to verify your identity and undertake fraud checks and we will need to ask you for details about you in order to undertake these checks. By providing us with any personal details or any details of your business, you authorise us to carry out checks using credit reference agencies. If we cannot obtain adequate information from third party sources, we will ask you to send us certified copies (copies which have been certified as true by a solicitor or other acceptable professionally qualified individual) or originals of the relevant identification documents. This may include you providing us with your passport or driving licence. We may need to ask you for further information in order to complete the verification process.
If we are unable to verify your identity you will not be able to invest in any investment products.
If you intend to invest in investments products through this Funding Platform, depending on the nature of the investment product, you will need to complete the following two exercises, in order for us to confirm that you understand the risks which are inherent in making investments in those investment products and ensure that you meet our investment criteria:
You should only continue to use your account if the following statements are, and continue to be, true:
By accepting these Terms, you warrant (promise) that each of the statements above is true and accurate at all times whilst being a registered member or (if longer) at all times that you have an outstanding interest in an investment product.
You can terminate your registered member account at any time by giving us 30 day’s written notice, by email, to crowdfunding@downing.co.uk
We can terminate your registered member account at any time by writing to you in the following circumstances:
Where either you or we have given notice to terminate your registered member account and you have invested in an investment product in which your investment is outstanding, your registered member account will be suspended pending repayment or redemption of your investment product and repayment of any funds due to you (after any fees payable to us) at which stage we will close your registered member account. Following suspension of your account, you will not be able to invest in any further investment products but you will be able to access your account to monitor any outstanding investments.
Details in relation to each investment product will be set out in the related offer documentation provided on this Funding Platform. You must always read the offer document in full to understand the offer-specific terms. We do not guarantee that there will be sufficient investment products for you to invest in, or that any investment product that you would like to buy will be available to you.
Please note that once you apply to invest in an investment product you are expected to proceed, subject to the cooling off period (see below).
In certain circumstances we may not be able to fulfil your application. This could be for a number of reasons such as, but not limited to where:
Minimum and maximum fundraising amounts will be made clear in the offer document. We will notify you once the minimum fundraising target is hit, and after the cooling off period has expired (as explained below). If you have not cancelled your application, your application to invest is unconditional and you will have to remain invested in the investment product.
You will have 14 days from the date that you make your application to invest to change your mind, cancel your application to invest and request the return of any monies paid without interest. Such period is referred to as the cooling off period.
Unless you notify us that you wish to cancel your application during the cooling off period, funds will, subject as set out above, be transferred to the borrower, and we will enter into any necessary contractual arrangements with the borrower or investee company acting as your agent as explained above.
We will only transfer the money from the client account to the borrower after the cooling off period has expired and once either the minimum fundraising target has been met or the offer (or the relevant portion of a multiple tranche offer) has closed.
When you make your application, the additional terms on which you are making that investment will be in the offer document.
If the offer does not reach any minimum fundraising target before the end of the specified period (which will be clear on the offer document), the investment opportunity will be removed from the active investments on this Funding Platform and any applications you have made to invest in that investment product will be cancelled. You will be notified and any monies paid in respect of the application will be returned to you without interest.
There is currently no secondary market available through which you may sell our investment products. You therefore acknowledge and agree that once you have invested in an investment product, it may not be possible to sell your investment to another party.
Where you have invested in a transferable investment product and have found a buyer for the investment product in question, that buyer must already be or must become a member of the Funding Platform and agree to the terms in force at the relevant time. Please refer to the contractual documents (such as bond instruments) that form part of the offer document for more details on any specific transfer restrictions and remember that each investment product is different. You should consider the lack of liquidity in your decision as to whether to invest.
If we do develop a secondary market, that secondary market does not guarantee that you will be able to find someone to whom you can transfer your investment product, whether at all or on terms acceptable to you.
Depending on the nature of the investment product, the borrower may not deduct any tax from your investment returns. It is your responsibility to account for any income tax and other personal taxes that may be payable to the appropriate authorities.
Most communications will be sent to you by email. However, we may telephone you to discuss matters related to you.
All Bond offers and respective documentation listed on this platform have been prepared and approved as a Financial Promotion, under S.21 of The Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, by Downing LLP (FRN: 545025). The communication of such offers and any respective documentation is restricted solely to the Downing Bond platform and its registered users.
All documents of title, contracts and other information and documentation in relation to the investments you buy through this Funding Platform can be accessed via your portfolio.
On the rare occasion that we may need to send any printed documents, these will be sent to the last known postal address that we hold for you and we will not be responsible if you do not receive them for any reason.
You must inform us immediately of any changes to your personal details, including your postal address, your email address, your telephone numbers (mobile and landline), tax status and, if relevant, your bank details.
When we receive returned mail, emails or payments, we will take reasonable steps to contact you to get your new details. However, we do not have to send further communications to the old address or old email address.
You agree that all communications from the borrower to you and from you to the borrower shall come via us and you appoint us as your agent for these purposes.
What you must tell us:
You agree to notify us immediately if you become aware of any of the following:
If we send communications to you:
We will not ask for any acknowledgement of receipt from you in respect of communications sent in accordance with the above.
We may also communicate with you by publishing information on this Funding Platform in which case the information will be treated as received by you when it is published, for example as and when new investment products are made available. You agree to us providing you with information, including information about the nature and risks of investments by posting that information on this Funding Platform and you must check this Funding Platform regularly for up-to-date information, which we may also choose to send to you by email. Information on this Funding Platform is subject to change without notice.
If you need to contact us urgently, you should email us at crowdfunding@downing.co.uk in the first instance. You can also telephone us on 020 7416 7780 from Monday to Friday between 09.00 and 17.30 hours.
If you use an intermediary in connection with your decision to invest in an investment product through this Funding Platform, your intermediary is responsible for disclosing to you their fees that relate to the advice or service that they give to you.
We may from time to time pay a commission to your intermediary on particular investments as permitted by the Financial Conduct Authority. These commissions will be fully and clearly disclosed in the relevant offer document. We may also facilitate adviser fees. In this instance, you will be asked to explicitly confirm and accept the fee which will then be deducted from your payment and order prior to investment: the amount of your investment will be the order size net of the confirmed adviser fee. In applying for an investment you are accepting all the terms set out in the offer document including any such fees or commissions.
We will enter into any contractual documentation with the borrower on your behalf as your agent. You authorise us to take any decisions necessary as agent in connection with that contractual documentation, whether at the time the contract is entered into or during the term that the contract is outstanding. This will include any such steps as we may consider necessary, in our absolute discretion, to attempt to ensure that the borrower complies with the terms of the underlying contractual arrangements.
If any investment product is secured, the security will be held in the name of Downing as security trustee. You authorise Downing to act as security trustee. As security trustee we will hold the security relating to the investment product on trust for the investors. In the event that there is an event of default in relation to the terms of any contract by the borrower or any third party that means the security becomes enforceable, the security trustee shall have your authority to take such steps as it considers appropriate in its absolute discretion to enforce the security. You acknowledge that the security trustee is not obliged to take any such steps.
We will have authority (as agent or as security trustee) to instruct third parties, such as solicitors. You agree that we (as agent or as security trustee) will pay back to investors their proportionate share of any funds successfully recovered, less our costs and expenses incurred during that recovery. All recoveries made by us will be paid into the client account less only our costs and expenses.
Where an investment product is not secured but the borrower misses a payment that was contractually due to you or only partially pays the amount due to you and the payment has not been made in full within 7 days of the due date for payment, as your agent we may (but are not obliged to) place the borrower into default and pass the debt to a debt collection agency, who may attempt to collect the total outstanding amount immediately. Any costs and expenses incurred by us or on our behalf in seeking recovery shall be deducted from the amount realised before it is available to be returned to you.
The existence of security should not be considered to be an absolute guarantee of certain repayment in the event that the borrower fails to meet any obligations it has to you.

We will conduct what we consider to be a reasonable level of due diligence on investments products offered via this Funding Platform, and the level of such due diligence may be detailed in the specific offer document. It does not, however, validate claims made by the borrower.
Nothing in these Terms shall restrict your statutory rights (including your rights to receive a reasonable standard of service, more details about which can be obtained from your local Trading Standards Office or Citizen's Advice Bureau), nor shall anything in these Terms exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence or from any fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation nor any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

If we fail to comply with these Terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the process.
We have exercised reasonable skill and care in undertaking due diligence on investment products. However, we cannot guarantee that your assessment of such investment products would be the same as ours. You acknowledge and agree that you must conduct your own independent assessment of the investment product and, unless we fail to exercise reasonable skill and care, you acknowledge and agree that we are not liable to you for any loss or damage you suffer from the results of our due diligence on investment products.
You acknowledge and agree that we will not be liable to you for any third party failures that impact you or our ability to provide services to you including, without limitation, where such failures are by the borrower, custodian or any bank involved in the service.

Subject to the above terms, our maximum aggregate liability to you for any other use of the Website (including the Funding Platform) whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, shall in all circumstances be limited to £5,000 which you acknowledge and agree is reasonable.

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) deposit protection scheme does not apply to Downing Crowd Bonds. It does, however, apply to funds held in the client money account prior to investment in Downing Crowd Bonds or once the proceeds of that investment are returned from the borrower. The client money account is held by Thompson Taraz Depositary Limited at the Royal Bank of Scotland Plc. Downing LLP is authorized and regulated by the FCA and is responsible for arranging and promoting the Downing Crowd Bonds. Under the FSCS investment protection scheme there may be circumstances in which investors can claim up to £50,000 of compensation where Downing LLP is unable or unlikely to honour legally enforceable obligations against it (e.g. claims for fraud or misrepresentation). However, investors will not be able to claim under the FSCS simply because a bond fails to repay capital or pay interest. This is unlikely to significantly affect the risk of investing in the Downing Crowd Bonds. For more details on the FSCS and its eligibility criteria click here: http://www.fscs.org.uk/what-we-cover/.
If the bank or building society holding your money in the client account becomes insolvent, you may be able to claim compensation from the FSCS. In such an event, we will inform you of the identity of the credit institution to enable you to pursue such claim. Further details are available from the FSCS, whose address is 10th Floor, Beaufort House, 15 St Botolph Street, London EC3A 7QU and telephone contact details are 0800 678 1100, the web address is www.fscs.org.uk.
In the event of our insolvency, we may enter into arrangements with an appropriately qualified third party service provider, in order to wind up any outstanding investment products. You will be notified of any such arrangements if and when these become relevant to you.
