12. FURTHER IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES
Prometheus Financial is an affiliate of Prometheus, a registered broker-dealer and a member of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The PAI Platform offers access to the brokerage services of Prometheus Financial, which include placement agent services for self-directed alternative investments. Neither Prometheus nor Prometheus Financial provides any investment advice with respect to any investments. The investment options available to users of the PAI Platform, through Prometheus Financial's brokerage services, include products sponsored or managed by product providers unrelated to Prometheus or Prometheus Financial. Prometheus Financial requires that the product provider or sponsor enter into private placement agreements with it and agree to make payments to it for compensation purposes, revenue sharing and, in certain cases, for administrative feeder fund services. These payments may be based on the value of the user's investment in one or more products. The inclusion of an alternative investment product on the PAI Platform by Prometheus Financial shall not in itself deem such product a recommendation to User by Prometheus Financial. User and/or User’s financial adviser (if any) shall make the final decision on whether to buy, sell or hold such alternative investment product. User’s use of the Services is not in any way conditioned on User purchasing any one or more alternative investment products. There are a limited number of products in which Prometheus, Prometheus Financial or their affiliates may have an interest.
Although Prometheus Financial may provide User with product offerings and related advice that is incidental to brokerage transactions executed through the PAI Platform, neither Prometheus nor Prometheus Financial provides initial or on-going investment recommendations or advice for transactions in your account. Neither Prometheus nor Prometheus Financial acts in the capacity of an investment adviser for your account. From time to time, Prometheus Financial may voluntarily review the holdings in your account for the purposes of determining whether to make a product offering available to you. Neither Prometheus nor Prometheus Financial has any discretionary authority over your account and can only transact the purchase or sale of investment products that you authorize. This means that you make all decisions for your account. You are permitted to disregard our offerings or otherwise make your own investment decisions to execute transactions other than those we recommend to you.
Prometheus Financial only offers alternative investment products (e.g., hedge fund and private equity fund investments) through the PAI Platform where Prometheus Financial receives distribution fees from the fund administrator, manager or their affiliates. The percentage and method of calculation of the distribution fees paid to Prometheus Financial from the fund administrator, manager or their affiliates shall be, to the extent required by Applicable Law, disclosed in the subscription documents and/or offering documents for each fund. Certain hedge funds and private equity funds that would otherwise meet Prometheus Financial's criteria for inclusion on the PAI Platform will not be available for purchase in your Account if the distribution fees are not paid to us. In addition, the availability of certain hedge funds or private equity funds or features of these funds (e.g., co-investment opportunities) will depend on your and your investment advisor’s qualifications and eligibility. Not all alternative investments are available for purchase by all Users.
All investments involve risk, the degree of which varies significantly. Investment performance can never be predicted or guaranteed, and the value of any investment you may make will fluctuate due to market conditions and other factors. Investments that included on the PAI Platform by Prometheus Financial and any actions undertaken by you and/or Prometheus Financial to execute transactions for your account are subject to various market, liquidity, currency, economic, geographic and political risks and are not necessarily profitable. You assume the risks of investing in securities and other alternative investments, and you could lose all or a portion of their value.
User understands that diversification of investments across multiple asset classes, issuers, sectors and industries may reduce the additional investment risk frequently associated with concentrated investments. User understands that the decreased diversification resulting from holding concentrated positions in a single security, sector or asset class typically results in increased risk and volatility, which can result in losses.
Prometheus Financial only offers, through the PAI Platform, alternative investment products where Prometheus Financial receives distribution or placement fees from the fund administrator, manager or their affiliates. In certain circumstances, Prometheus Financial may sponsor an aggregated feeder fund in connection with a specific alternative investment product (a “PF Feeder Fund”). For all PF Feeder Funds we make available to our clients, Prometheus Financial or an affiliate provides only administrative services in connection with such PF Feeder Fund and receives an administrative fee from the fund administrator, manager or their affiliates. These administrative services may include aggregating and processing purchases, redemptions, exchanges, consolidated account statements, tax reporting, and other related processing and recordkeeping services. Prometheus Financial will not provide any advice to User on whether to buy, sell or hold such alternative investment. For any alternative investment products purchased by User on the PAI Platform, whether directly in the alternative investment product or through a PF Feeder Fund, User and or its advisor will be deemed to have consulted and relied on the offering documents for any such investment with respect to risks associated with such investment. If you cannot find these documents, please contact Prometheus or Prometheus Financial to help you find them.
User has read and understands the Prometheus Policies. User agrees that (i) it is not using the Services for purposes of accessing any one particular adviser or fund and (ii) no investor including User may invest in a fund advised by another user of the Services within thirty (30) days of subscribing or accessing the Services and (iii) an investor must meet all eligibility requirements of each fund and adviser, as determined by such fund and adviser (and not Prometheus), in order to invest in such fund or adviser's product. If User represents that it is a “qualified purchaser” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(51)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 or that it is a “qualified client” within the meaning of Rule 205-3 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, User also represents that it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Reg D"). To the extent that any subsequent investment by a User is deemed to have been made pursuant to a “general solicitation” as contemplated under Rule 506(c) of Reg D, User understands and agrees that it will be subject to certain verification requirements in respect of its status as an “accredited investor” as such means of verification are set out in subparagph (2)(ii) of Rule 506(c) of Reg D. The information posted, provided or presented on or through the Services (including, without limitation, Account Information and User-Posted Materials) is made available solely for general information purposes. Prometheus is not responsible for and does not represent or warrant the accuracy, timeliness, completeness or usefulness of this information. Any reliance User places on such information is strictly at its own risk and such information is subject to definitive documents between advisers, funds and investors. Prometheus has not independently verified Account Information or User-Posted Materials or other adviser or investor information. Prometheus disclaims all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such information by User or by anyone who may be informed of any of its contents. It is User’s responsibility to observe all applicable securities laws and financial regulations of any relevant jurisdiction.
User acknowledges and agrees that the Services may not be used to invest, purchase, assume, distribute, offer to sell, or sell any security or financial instrument or to carry out any financial service except as expressly pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including but not limited those set forth in this Section 12. Except as expressly set forth in Section 12 hereof, nothing provided on or through the Services shall constitute or be construed as an offer or solicitation to purchase any security or financial instruments, or as financial, legal, tax, or investment advice, or as suitability or investment recommendations (i.e., recommendations as to whether or not to “buy”, “sell”, “hold”, or to enter or not to enter into any other transaction) or endorsement of any adviser, its strategies or any investor. Data and other information available on or through the Services should not be considered as information sufficient upon which to base an investment decision. Information prepared by an adviser or fund is not complete, does not contain important risk and other information about an adviser and its funds or other products/services and may constitute only subjective views of the adviser. The registration of any user of the Services, or such user’s use of the Services, shall not in any way be construed as a recommendation or endorsement by Prometheus or Prometheus Financial of such User (either as investor or adviser) or any investment, product, or service offered by such User, and neither Prometheus nor Prometheus Financial shall have (and nothing herein shall be read to imply or otherwise be interpreted as creating) any duty to evaluate or otherwise bear any responsibility whatsoever with respect to the qualifications of any user of the Services as an investor or adviser or any investments that are offered by any user of the Services. Investors assume sole responsibility and risk of their investment decisions and the due diligence related thereto. Advisers assume the sole responsibility and risk of their decisions regarding investors and the due diligence and obligations related thereto. All information provided on or through the Services is impersonal and not tailored to the need of any person, entity or group of persons. Neither Prometheus nor Prometheus Financial express an opinion on the future or expected value of any security or other interests, does not explicitly or implicitly recommend or suggest an investment strategy of any kind and is not responsible for investment decisions or results. No representation is made that any adviser or fund will be successful. Past performance of an adviser is not indicative of future results of such adviser or a potential investment with such adviser. Except with respect to the Services of Prometheus Financial as expressly set forth in this Section 12, Prometheus does not provide investment, financial, tax or business advice, is not a broker-dealer, third party marketer, agent of any user of the Services, or an investment adviser and is not compensated based on transactions, capital raised or the value of investments. Investors assume the sole responsibility and risk of their investment decisions and the diligence related thereto. All investments are subject to the terms of definitive documents that would be provided by the adviser (and not Prometheus or Prometheus Financial). Neither Prometheus nor Prometheus Financial is responsible for any investment, statement, action or omission of any adviser, fund or investor.
The Services include content provided by third parties, including materials provided by other users of the Services and third-party licensors, syndicators, aggregators and/or reporting services. All statements and/or opinions expressed in these materials, all responses to questions and other content, other than the content provided by Prometheus, are solely the opinions and the responsibility of the person or entity providing those materials. These materials do not necessarily reflect the opinion of Prometheus. Any assumptions, assessments, statements or the like (“statements”) regarding future events or that are forward-looking constitute only subjective views, outlooks, estimations or intentions, are based upon our or the source’s expectations, intentions or beliefs, should not be relied on, are subject to change due to a variety of factors, including fluctuating market conditions, and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, many of which cannot be predicted or quantified and are beyond Prometheus’s control. Any indices (including financial benchmarks) shown are provided for illustrative purposes only, are unmanaged, and may or may not reflect reinvestment of income and dividends or the impact of advisory fees with respect to the investments presented. Comparisons to indices have limitations because indices have material characteristics that may differ from a particular investment strategy. Indices should not be relied upon as an accurate measure of comparison. We may permit users of the Services to access to data rooms whose access and content is controlled by advisers; for purposes herein such information is considered User-Posted Materials. We are not responsible or liable to User, or any third party, for the content or accuracy of any materials provided by any third parties, including any users of the Services.

User hereby assigns to Prometheus all right, title, and interest in and to the Feedback and, to the extent not assignable, User grants to Prometheus a perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, royalty-free and fully paid-up license, with the right to sublicense, to use and exploit such Feedback and related information in any manner and for any purpose whatsoever.
