6.3.3. The reference period and the source of information are clearly stated;
6.3.4. The information contains a prominent warning that the figures refer to the past and that past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

6.4.1. It is not based on and does not refer to simulated past performance;
6.4.2. It is based on reasonable assumptions supported by objective data; and
6.4.3. It contains a prominent warning that such forecasts are not a reliable indicator of future performance.

The Investee acknowledges that the Pitch will be reviewed by Konvi members generally and that the Investee should assume that information included in its Pitch will not necessarily be kept confidential. The Investee agrees that it alone shall bear all responsibility for the content of the Pitch, the Warranties and any disclosures in respect of such Warranties, and shall indemnify and hold Konvi harmless from any loss, liability, cost or expense resulting directly or indirectly from the same.

7.1. The Investee, as a member of Konvi, acknowledges and accepts that the Website may include a forum which is intended as a service to Investees to put them in contact with Investors, and that Konvi’s investigation of the Investees and the content of their Pitches have been limited and depends upon the disclosure, feedback and responses of Investee, and accordingly that Konvi makes no warranties or representations and assumes no liability in respect of the Investees or the content of their Pitches.
7.2. The Investee warrants, represents and undertakes that:
