§1No investment advice
Nothing on forfait.me — whether in the Country Intelligence Module, the Opportunity Marketplace, the Scenario Lab, narrative briefs generated by the Forfait Intelligence Engine, exported PDFs, or any other Platform surface — constitutes investment advice, financial advice, legal advice, tax advice, or any other form of professional advice. The Platform is an information and connection service.
§2No offer or solicitation
Information surfaced on the Platform does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security, financial instrument, or interest in any vehicle in any jurisdiction. Offers and solicitations, where applicable, occur only through the specific legal documentation of an individual mandate, executed between the relevant counterparties.
§3Country intelligence — sourcing and limitations
Country intelligence material is sourced from public datasets including the World Bank, World Health Organization, OECD, IMF, REST Countries, and similar bodies. Forfait curates and synthesises this material; we do not warrant its accuracy, completeness, or current applicability. Macroeconomic and political conditions change; readers should treat the material as a baseline rather than a definitive position.
§4Scenario outputs
Scenario Lab outputs are projections based on user-selected parameters applied to historical baseline data. They are not forecasts. They illustrate sensitivity to defined shocks under simplifying assumptions and should not be relied upon for capital allocation decisions without independent modelling.
§5AI-generated content
Where the Platform incorporates AI-generated narrative (Forfait Intelligence Engine, framework-specific briefs, automated summaries), such content is produced by language models that may make errors, including errors of fact, calibration, and emphasis. AI output is clearly marked. Verify factual claims before relying on them in any decision-making context.
§6Marketplace opportunities
Opportunities listed in the Marketplace are submitted by contributors (sponsors) external to Forfait. While Forfait curates listings, we do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or commercial merit of any sponsor materials. We do not endorse any specific opportunity. Members must conduct their own due diligence.
§7Forfait-led mandates
Where Forfait acts as exclusive capital-raise mandatary for a specific opportunity (clearly identified in the materials), Forfait has a financial interest in the success of the transaction. The full nature of that interest, including any structuring or success fee, is disclosed in the relevant deal materials provided to Investor and Professional members under appropriate confidentiality terms.
§8Risk warning
Private-market opportunities carry substantial risk including total loss of capital, illiquidity, valuation uncertainty, currency exposure, political and regulatory risk, and concentration risk. They are suitable only for sophisticated investors capable of bearing such risks and conducting independent due diligence. Past performance of comparable opportunities is not indicative of future results.
§9Jurisdictional notice
The Platform is operated from the United Arab Emirates. Access from a jurisdiction where doing so would breach applicable law is prohibited. Members are responsible for ensuring that their use of the Platform — including participation in any mandate or transaction — complies with the laws applicable to them. Forfait does not actively market to retail investors in any jurisdiction.
§10Forward-looking statements
Narrative briefs, scenario outputs, country dossiers, and sponsor materials may contain forward-looking statements, projections, and assumptions. These are inherently uncertain and subject to material change. Forfait disclaims any obligation to update forward-looking statements.
§11Third-party content
Where the Platform displays content from third parties — datasets, logos, sponsor materials — such content is provided as-is and remains the property of its respective owners. Forfait does not endorse or warrant third-party content.
§12Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Forfait, its directors, employees, and licensors shall not be liable for any loss or damage of any kind arising out of or in connection with the use of the Platform or reliance on Platform content, including but not limited to direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages.
§13Get independent advice
Before acting on any information surfaced by the Platform, consult qualified professionals — a regulated investment adviser, legal counsel, and tax adviser — in your own jurisdiction. The Platform is a tool to inform that process, not a substitute for it.
