1. DEFINITIONS
Eyevestor offers a modern digital solution for what has been possible analogue for centuries.
In this digital environment, companies can set up a legal structure (venture) and manage and issue these digitised securities (shares) in a fully transparent way to registered users as holders of the securities (shares). By means of multiple types of transactions, the entire lifecycle of the legal structure can be served to different types of eye-con account holders, who, under certain circumstances, can carry out transactions between them.
Securities are all financial instruments permitted for crowdfunding such as shares, certificates or convertible loans that may or may not be safely traded or sold on a digital bulletin board at a later time and that may increase or decrease in value and potentially yield periodic dividends.

- The venture terms and conditions on which a share agreement can be made may differ per venture and are stated in the venture environment of the Eyevestor platform.
- After the payment is made by the buyer to the payment partner, the share agreement is settled and the seller is entitled to the funds. With the exception of the persons referred to in Article 5.5.
- The sale price is paid to the payment partner, after which the payment partner pays the sale price to the seller or escrow account minus transaction fees remitted to Eyevestor.
- The payment partner confirms that they have received the money. Then the buyer gets the shares and the money is finally transferred to the seller. It is no longer possible to revoke. With the exception of the users referred to in Article 5.5.
- If the payment partner is designated as the payment address, it is emphasized that the buyer can only pay to the payment partner and not to the seller himself. This means that the buyer has fulfilled their payment obligation when the money is transferred to the payment partner's payment account (IBAN account). The payment partner then has an independent obligation to pass on the funds received to the seller.

Summary of article 19 - EYEVESTOR IS MADE FOR A BETTER WORLD
- Eyevestor strives to improve society by creating more involvement and ambassadorship with organizations and companies.
- The platform aims to increase equity and capital capabilities and liquidity to increase value.
19. EYEVESTOR IS MADE FOR A BETTER WORLD
- Not to forget. Eyevestor wants to make the world a better place in a unique way. Think of us as a Social Enterprise or any other organization that moves socially and culturally. We consider organizations, clubs and companies and their stakeholders to be the primary cradle of any society. If we can create more involvement, kinship and ambassadorship with these organizations, then we are well on our way. You can find out more about it on our website.
Offering more options and liquidity in your equity is therefore a logical step. Liquidity is nothing more than the ability and simplicity of supply and demand to come together. There is no value without liquidity. And the more recognition your equity gets, the more in demand it will be. That is why companies go public and investors go to the stock exchange in an accessible way because they find liquidity there.
