Use of Our Service
SERVICE DESCRIPTION
SunFunder provides a place for Users to provide financing for solar energy projects around the world. Using our Service, you can select to fund a project posted in partnership with a solar energy company or organization (Solar Partner), track the financial and impact statistics for the projects that you funded, receive project updates, and then earn back the money you funded. Solar Partners are financing recipients that work with SunFunder to post projects on our Service. When you invest in a project, SunFunder facilitates loan financing to the Solar Partner, who uses this capital to fund the deployment of solar energy technology in the communities where the Solar Partner works. In most instances, these loans are considered "high risk" by traditional lenders for a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the "start up" nature of the Solar Partners, risks associated with revenues generated from a project and the ability of the Solar Partner’s customers to make payments to the Solar Partners, general solar technology risks, and geographic location risks including, but not limited to, the risk of financial instability and foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Please review the website and project description page to learn more.
By participating in a project or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you hereby acknowledge and agree that (a) SunFunder makes no representation, warranty, covenant or guarantee that any funds you submit to a project via the Service will be repaid in whole or in part, (b) investments and other similar transactions made via the Service are unsecured and bear a high risk of non-repayment and (c) given your financial situation and objectives, you will lend only those amounts on the Service that you can afford to lose. Your contributions made via the Service offer no rate of return and, as such, are not intended as, and cannot be considered as, an investment in a financial instrument or security.
(1) Fund Disbursement. SunFunder serves as a middle-man by facilitating the disbursement of project funds to the Solar Partner who uses this capital to fund the deployment of solar energy technology. If after a reasonable amount of time, as determined by SunFunder, the project is not fully funded, SunFunder may decide to stop raising funds for this project. In this case, users who had already invested in this project will be able to have the amount funded returned to them. Users may also be given the option to have the funds returned to them or transferred to another project of their choice.
(2) Collection and Repayment. During the financing term, as the Solar Partner receives payments from their customers (often the people who directly benefit from the solar technology), the Solar Partner makes repayments to SunFunder. During the financing term, SunFunder repays you your principal investment and you may be eligible to receive Impact Points. Both the repayment and Impact Points can then be used to reinvest in more projects. However, Impact Points cannot be converted into money and cannot be withdrawn. When you fund projects using Impact Points, 100% of the amount funded will be repaid with more Impact Points, which can be used again to fund more projects, giving you an opportunity to grow your impact. On the “My stats” page on the platform, you’ll be able to track the financial performance of your projects you have funded as well as the social, environmental and economic impact of the projects. Please refer to our FAQ for more details http://www.sunfunder.com/about/faq. Project funds are repaid directly by the Solar Partners to SunFunder. Any amounts actually received by SunFunder from a Solar Partner as principal repayment will be distributed among the Users on a pro rata basis in accordance with the amounts provided by such Users to the project. These distributions may, in SunFunder’s sole discretion, be made periodically or in one lump sum once 100% of all proceeds for a particular project have been received by SunFunder. Repayment terms for each project will be described on the page on the platform that describes each project. Furthermore, please note that timing of distributions to you of any collected repayment may vary and may be materially impacted because of circumstances that, in SunFunder’s judgment, require SunFunder to conduct further reviews with respect to the collected repayments (by way of one example, to resolve issues regarding accuracy of repayment amounts and corresponding data, or for other issues). If, for any reason, SunFunder is unable to collect repayments directly from the Solar Partners repayment of your contribution amounts, you understand and agree that you could be at risk of partial or total delay or non-repayment and a loss of some or all of your principal could occur. You hereby acknowledge and agree that neither the Solar Partner nor its customers will have direct contractual obligation or liability to pay you any principal and that is obligated to repay only such Loan principal to the extent actually received by SunFunder from a Solar Partner. None of SunFunder or any Solar Partner will have any obligation to pay interest on the project funds or other fees or amounts to you or any other User in connection with any contributions you make.
(3) Tax Deductibility. You acknowledge that because you are making an investment subject to repayment, and not donating any money, you are not eligible to receive a tax deduction as might otherwise be available in connection with a charitable contribution to a tax-exempt public charity. You also understand that you are solely responsible for determining the proper tax treatment for any amounts you receive through the Service. SunFunder has not and will not provide any tax or legal advice to you in connection with any funding you might provide. This Agreement does not attempt to define the tax implications of participating in a project. If you participate in a project, you should consult with your own accountants, tax advisors and legal advisors.
(4) Account Balance. Records of each payment you make are kept by SunFunder and, on the “My stats” page on the platform, you’ll be able to track the repayment status of your investments and the notional amount of your Impact Points as well as the social, environmental and economic impact of the projects you have funded.
(5) Loss Scenarios. You understand and hereby consent (without any prior notice thereof) to any restructuring of the repayment plan for your investment and/or, in SunFunder’s sole discretion, any extension of the length of the term of your investment in order to increase the chances that your investment is repaid. SunFunder will generally deem a project investment to be in default if SunFunder determines that collection of funds from a Solar Partner for such project is doubtful or a repayment is six (6) months past the originally scheduled repayment date (for any expected repayment, including interim repayments), although case by case differences may exist based on pending prospects for repayment. In cases where an investment is in default, and subject to the repayment provisions noted in Section 1.A.(2) above, each applicable User will have the option to recover whatever principal has been repaid up to that point. If for any reason less than 100% of your investment is repaid, you agree that SunFunder and its Solar Partners shall have no liability therefor, and you hereby release and forever hold harmless SunFunder and its Solar Partners for any loss you may incur. You should consult with your accountant and/or tax advisors to determine the appropriate tax treatment of such a loss.
(6) Insufficient Funds. In the event you make an investment and your payment does not clear, you agree that SunFunder may (or through its payment processor), in its sole discretion, (i) offset the amount of the insufficiently funded amount against your Account Balance and/or Impact Points or (ii) withdraw or cancel your insufficiently funded amount from the project.
