INVESTMENT
Executives of Ploutos App shall have access to the funds in Vizient (Eti-Osa) Cooperative Multipurpose Society only to collect and invest such funds on behalf of cooperative members. Such funds shall be used in accordance with the terms contained herein.

We expect that each potential participant would determine the suitability of investment proposals relative to his or her financial position and must have taken into account the risks that are normally attributed, especially in pools where the principal is not guaranteed.

It’s important to note that the term “principal” refers solely to the amounts directly contributed to the Cooperative by members and excludes compounded figures or any returns earned. Any investment in pools where the principal is not guaranteed may result in fluctuations in the invested amount and does not assure a fixed return. It may even lead to a negative return or a complete loss. Please only invest in a non-principal guaranteed pool with this understanding and in line with your risk profile.

Each participant or member is aware of the investment risks and is solely responsible for his/her investment decisions and tax penalties. The member or participant is also aware that an investment decision should not be determined by marketing materials of a financial instrument but by the information related to a financial instrument or investment service in its entirety.

The participant or member is aware and accepts that the financial instrument’s historical performance is not a guarantee of future developments and that the financial instruments are related to the risk of losing capital or reduction in it, even if this is not explicitly informed or mentioned.

Ploutos App and Vizient Coop (the company and cooperative) are platforms that allow participants or members to invest in various investment pools and as such, Vizient Coop is therefore indemnified against any event of loss resulting from the application of pooled funds into any investment enterprise if such investment was done in good faith. Therefore, Vizient Coop shall not be liable in any way to the participant unless such loss results from our negligence, breach of contract, bad faith, fraud, or wilful misconduct.

Participants shall be deemed to have consented to the application of all deposits in designated investments either in whole or in part.

It should be noted that no application has been made to the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) for clearance.

If there is any consent to an early withdrawal, it will be a condition of such consent that the amount of any cost or loss suffered by other members because of early withdrawal is deducted from the investment. Such costs and losses may result in a lower rate of return than might be expected or even a negative rate of return. There might also be penalties for early withdrawal.

Vizient Coop has the right to unilaterally amend these terms, and such amendment(s) shall be effective from the next month after the participant has received notification of the amendment in the manner referred to in this term. If a participant does not accept the amendment, such participant has the right to terminate the agreement, in accordance with the standard practice of Vizient Coop before the amendment takes effect.
