Acceptance of terms
These Terms of Use govern access to the GCF IPO website and investor portal. By using the platform you agree to these terms and to any issuer-specific subscription documents executed at checkout.
If you do not agree, do not use the platform or submit allocation requests.
Brand, entities, and what GCF IPO is
“GCF IPO” is a platform and brand operated by GCF Group · GCF Treuwert Ltd., part of the wider GCF Group. References to “GCF” mean the operating group entity that contracts with you and its affiliates as the context requires.
GCF Treuwert Ltd. is not a credit institution and does not conduct banking business in its own name. Custody and account services are carried out exclusively through regulated partner banks in the United States, Switzerland, and the EU. GCF acts as an intermediary and platform operator; it is not your bank, broker-dealer, custodian, or investment adviser unless expressly agreed in writing.
Names, logos, and trademarks of issuers shown on the platform belong to their respective owners and are used for identification only. Their appearance does not imply endorsement of, or by, GCF.
Investor eligibility
Access to live allocations is limited to investors who meet applicable qualified or accredited investor standards in their jurisdiction. GCF may refuse access, suspend accounts, or cancel orders where eligibility cannot be verified.
- You represent that information submitted during onboarding is accurate, current, and complete.
- You will promptly notify us of material changes to your status, residence, or source of funds.
- You will not use the platform on behalf of undisclosed third parties without authorization.
- You act for your own account and the funds you commit are lawfully yours and not the proceeds of crime.
Prohibited persons and politically exposed persons (PEPs)
Access is prohibited where it would breach sanctions, embargoes, or applicable law. You represent that you, and any beneficial owner of the funds you commit, are not subject to UN, EU, UK, Swiss, or US (including OFAC) sanctions and are not located in or a resident of a comprehensively sanctioned or prohibited jurisdiction.
The GCF brand does not directly serve politically exposed persons (PEPs). We do not knowingly onboard or directly provide platform services to PEPs, their immediate family members, or their known close associates. If screening identifies a PEP connection, onboarding is declined or the account is restricted, and any existing relationship is escalated to compliance and may be terminated.
GCF may decline, suspend, restrict, or unwind any account or order, and report as required, where these representations cannot be satisfied.
AML, KYC, and ongoing obligations
Onboarding begins with a short KYC check (identity, contact, residence, tax details, ID document, and PEP / beneficial-owner declarations). Completing it is required to buy from your account balance.
This short check is a starting point, not the limit of our diligence. GCF may at any time request additional information or documentation — including detailed source-of-funds (SOF) or source-of-wealth evidence — for certain deposit methods (for example bank or assisted Luxembourg/UK transfers), for larger tickets, or whenever our compliance team identifies elevated risk. Verification, deposits, or allocations may be held until that information is provided and accepted.
You agree to provide requested documentation promptly and to cooperate with enhanced due diligence where it is triggered. GCF may delay, hold, or reverse transactions, freeze balances, and make reports to competent authorities where required, without liability to you for doing so.
Accounts, balances, and funding
Your investor account balance reflects funds received and confirmed by GCF or its partners. Account funds are operational balances used to settle allocations on the platform; they are not a bank deposit, are not interest-bearing, and are not covered by any deposit-guarantee or investor-compensation scheme.
You may fund your account or settle an allocation by crypto-asset transfer to a reserved address, by bank transfer with the reference provided, or via the agent-assisted KYC + source-of-funds route. You must follow payment instructions and quote your reference exactly; misdirected or incorrectly referenced payments may be delayed or unrecoverable.
Permitted use
You may use the platform to review issuer materials, complete verification, fund your account, place allocations, and access documents related to your holdings. You may not scrape, reverse engineer, interfere with security controls, attempt to access other investors’ data, or misrepresent your identity.
No investment advice
Issuer pages, metrics, valuations, and structure notes are provided for information only and may be indicative or estimated. GCF does not provide investment, tax, or legal advice and gives no recommendation that any allocation is suitable for you. You are solely responsible for your investment decisions and should consult independent advisers where appropriate.
Orders and settlement
An allocation is not binding until required documents are executed, KYC is approved where applicable, and settlement is reconciled using the reference tied to your order. Balance-funded purchases settle when sufficient confirmed balance is available; rail-funded purchases settle once payment is received and confirmed by an operator. GCF may cancel or amend orders affected by issuer capacity, pricing changes, compliance flags, or failed payment reconciliation.
Fees and costs
Applicable fees, spreads, and costs are disclosed before you commit. Network fees for crypto-asset transfers and third-party bank charges are borne by you. GCF may update fee schedules prospectively with notice through the platform.
Intellectual property
The platform, its software, design, text, and the GCF brand are owned by GCF or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property law. You receive a limited, revocable, non-transferable licence to use the platform for its intended purpose. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works without written permission.
Electronic communications and records
You consent to receive agreements, disclosures, receipts, and notices electronically through the portal or by email. Electronic documents and records satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
Suspension and termination
GCF may suspend or terminate access, with or without notice, where required by law, where these terms are breached, or where necessary to protect the platform, investors, or partners. Compliance, settlement, and record-keeping obligations survive termination.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, GCF is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses, or for lost profits, arising from platform use, issuer performance, market or network conditions, or third-party providers. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including for fraud.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless GCF and its affiliates from claims, losses, and expenses arising out of your breach of these terms, your misuse of the platform, or your violation of applicable law.
Force majeure
GCF is not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including outages of banking, blockchain, cloud, or communications infrastructure, or acts of government.
General
If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder continues in effect. We may assign these terms to a group affiliate or successor. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These terms, together with your subscription documents, form the entire agreement for platform access.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws specified in your subscription agreement or, where none applies to platform access alone, the laws of Switzerland. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts agreed in your transaction documents or, failing that, the competent courts in Zurich.
