Where you choose to send us funds that are not in AED, the funds will need to be exchanged to AED and the exchange rate and any exchange and transfer fees charged by your bank, FAB or a correspondent bank are solely your responsibility.

1. You agree that each time you make an Investment using the Platform the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement will apply to such an Investment.

2. Each Investment Round will include the Investment Term that is a period of time that you will agree to commit to prior to making an Investment. Prior to the end of the Investment Term, we will undertake a valuation of the Property and you and your co-Investors will be asked to vote on whether you want the SPV to sell the Property or extend the Investment Term. Please refer to Clause 15 for further details on the voting process.

3. Where the Property Manager believes it to be necessary, owing to market conditions, to amend the Investment Term, we will advise you accordingly and provide you and your co-Investors an opportunity to vote to amend the Investment Term. An amendment to an Investment Term may result in the sale of a Property earlier or later than previously agreed.

4. The minimum Investment Amount in some cases is AED 500, although we reserve the right to increase this amount for a range of reasons, including, for example, in the case of a higher Total Funding Target.

5. In making an Investment you agree that you have done so at your discretion based solely on information contained on the Platform, together with any independent knowledge that you may have and professional advice that you may have received. Nothing we have done, nor anything that is on the Platform, is to be construed as advice or a recommendation by us in relation to an Investment. You agree that you have complete control and discretion as to whether or not you make an Investment and you further agree that you have all the information that you deem necessary to make that decision.

6. You agree that in making an Investment through the Platform, you agree to invest in such Property through purchasing Shares in the relevant SPV. We will combine your Investment to purchase Shares with other Investors that have also made an Investment in the relevant SPV.

7. You acknowledge that investing in real estate is speculative. The market value of a Property can fall and rental income is not guaranteed. When you make an Investment, you acknowledge that you are investing for the Investment Term. You also acknowledge that it may be difficult to sell the Property at the end of the Investment Term owing to a lack of market interest or other factors.

8. Your percentage of Shares will be calculated in relation to the value of the Property, less all other relevant Fees which will arise in the acquisition of the Property. For example, if the Total Funding Target is AED500,000 and you have invested AED5,000, excluding Fees related to completing the purchase of the Property, you will acquire 1% of the Shares in the relevant SPV.

9. WeProperties has the discretion to reduce the Total Funding Target for a Property at any time if it reasonably considers this is in the interest of Investors (for example, in the event that a reduced sale price is negotiated with the Seller). WeProperties reserves the right not to list a Property for sale, to decline Investments and/or bid requests via its Platform at its sole discretion.

10. Completion of an Investment Round will be conditional on the following:
    • the Total Funding Target being raised during the Investment Round;
    • you having agreed to purchase the Shares;
    • the Seller completing the sale of their Property to the SPV; and
    • WeProperties not having exercised its discretion to terminate any Property acquisition process.

11. No single Investor will be entitled to secure more than 49% of the Shares of an SPV.

12. We accept no responsibility and disclaim all liability for any information about a Property made available to you through the Platform, except to the extent set out in this Agreement.

6. COOLING OFF PERIOD

1. You may exercise your right to withdraw from an Investment during the Cooling Off Period which will result in your Investment Amount being made available to you in your Wallet. You will be entitled to request a refund of these funds subject to Clause 4.7.

2. If you exercise your right to withdraw from an Investment during the Cooling Off Period, you will not be entitled to any Dividend distributions, interest or other benefit and you shall only be entitled to the return of your Investment Amount.

3. The Cooling Off Period does not apply in circumstances where you have purchased Shares via our Share Transfer dashboard because you will be doing so from another Investor who has offered their Shares for sale on our Share Transfer dashboard. Consequently, the price will depend on fluctuations in our Share Transfer dashboard for example, supply and demand factors that are outside our control. All details regarding the Share Transfer dashboard will be disclosed on the Platform.

If after one month a tenant is still in default of the rental payment the Property Manager will advise you and your co-Investors of their recommended course of action on the Platform and by email.

You will vote on the next course of action and where fees to recover the amounts are to be incurred, you and your co-Investors will bear the cost. An attempt to reclaim all legal fees from the tenant will be made with a view to repaying you and your co-Investors.

12. AML/CTF

1. Money laundering is the process of disguising illegally obtained money so that the funds appear to come from legitimate sources or activities. Money laundering occurs in connection with a wide variety of crimes, including illegal arms sales, drug trafficking, robbery, fraud, racketeering, securities fraud and terrorism. Terrorism financing is the provision of funds or providing financial support to individual terrorists or non-state actors.

2. As per the DFSA AML Rules and in accordance with UAE Federal AML Laws, WeProperties has implemented a robust AML/CTF framework to ensure that WeProperties mitigates the risk of money laundering or terrorist financing activity through the Platform. WeProperties's AML/CTF framework includes, but is not limited to, the designation of a Money Laundering Reporting Officer, employee AML training and the implementation of a CDD process. As part of our CDD process, you will be asked to provide information and supporting documentation in order for WeProperties to verify your identity and your sources of wealth and income. Until you provide the information or documents and your identity has been verified, you may not be able to open an account or effect any transactions through the Platform.

This measure is implemented in line with regulatory compliance requirements and the platform's due diligence obligations.

These reviews may include re-verification of identity documents and reassessment of account activity to ensure continued compliance with applicable regulatory standards and the platform's internal risk management policies.

Sellers are required to provide accurate declarations regarding any sanctions or financial crime risks and must notify the platform of any material changes. Where applicable, additional checks may be conducted. The outcomes of these verifications, as well as any limitations, will be made available to investors.

You may request re-categorisation as a professional client under the DFSA Rules, but any such re-categorisation will be conditional upon you meeting various tests required by the DFSA. If you are re-categorised as a professional client, it would also mean that there would be more limitations to the level of client protections with which you would be provided than if you remained as a retail client.

We will provide you with a summary of our Conflicts of Interest Policy upon request.
