In the context of AAIN facilitating any introduction (the ‘AAIN Services’) between a Member, on the one hand, and any business or organisation in the initial stages of operations that requires capital to order to achieve mass scale via private investment/debt (a ‘Start-Up’), on the other hand:

• I will conduct myself in an ethical and professional manner at all times, acting with honesty, equity and without discrimination.
• I will respect the privacy of other AAIN members and the Start-Ups I meet with and not provide their name or any contact or other information to any third party without their permission and solely in accordance with my AAIN Membership Agreement.
• I will keep all Information provided to me by Start-Ups, other AAIN Members, suppliers, partners or any other organisation, confidential and will not disclose any information to any third parties without the express written permission of the impacted party/parties and solely in accordance with my AAIN Membership Agreement.

• I understand that I must conduct my own analysis and due diligence to determine the appropriateness of any investment I make in any Start-Up or other company to which I am introduced through RAIN. I recognize and agree that none of AAIN or any of its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates or related body corporates are liable for any investment decision I make as a result of, or in connection with, being a member of AAIN or receiving the AAIN Services. The choice to use and the manner of utilisation of information and knowledge gained through the AAIN Services is my individual and personal choice.
