4. Description of the Services

The Services offered to Members are as follows:

  • Access Startup profiles (hereinafter "Service 1 ”);
  • Invest in an SPV dedicated to taking a stake in a Startup (hereinafter ” Service 2 ”);
  • Access the Marketplace, which facilitates the resale of shares (hereinafter ” Service 3 ”);
  • Access the events organized by Blast Club (hereinafter ” Service 4 ”).

Blast Club offers its Members access to economic and financial information published on its Website concerning Startups wishing to raise funds and who, in this context, wish to offer investors the opportunity to participate in this fundraising, by making an investment, generally as part of a capital increase, under the terms and conditions described below. All of this information can be found in the KIIS that can be consulted for each Participatory Financing Offer present on the Website.

4.1 Service 1: Startup Presentation Service

4.1.1 Overview of Service 1

Blast Club provides a Service that consists in presenting to Members on its Website general information on Startups wishing to raise funds.

To present a Startup on its Website, Blast Club enters into a service agreement with each Startup that specifies the terms and conditions for presenting the Startup and its Participatory Financing Offer to Members.

Blast Club carries out a preliminary study and analysis of each Startup and its Participatory Financing Offer.

4.1.2 Absence of financial investment advice

Members are informed that Service 1, as referred to and governed herein, is defined solely as an activity of providing general information about the Startup.

Therefore, under no circumstances may a Member consider that Service 1 provided by Blast Club can be assimilated in any way to a financial investment advisory service under Article L. 321-1 and D. 321-1 of the French Monetary and Financial Code. In this respect, by registering, Members acknowledge and accept that:

  1. the Service 1 provided does not constitute a financial investment advisory activity, as governed by the provisions of the Monetary and Financial Code;
  2. Members' access to Service 1 in no way constitutes a personalized investment recommendation; and
  3. Blast Club will not provide any advice to Members and will not monitor any investments made by Members through Service 1.

Throughout the Member's browsing on the Website, Blast Club informs that investing involves risks of total or partial loss of the capital invested and illiquidity.

It is up to each Member, when considering making an investment in a Startup presented on the Website, to ensure, by means of his/her own due diligence, studies and analyses and, where applicable, those of informed and competent professionals, that this investment is part of his/her investment strategy and corresponds to his/her personal, financial, asset and tax situation.

It is therefore recommended that each Member, in addition to the tests carried out on the Website, carry out a precise and detailed analysis for each investment envisaged in a Startup:

  1. of his/her financial capacity to bear the economic risk of the planned investment,
  2. that he/she has sufficient means to meet his/her current and future needs and those of his/her family and loved ones and
  3. has no need for liquidity in relation to the planned investment.

4.1.3 Knowledge of the general principles of  asset management

The Member expressly declares to know and apply the essential asset management rules concerning investment in the capital of unlisted companies, including in particular the following principles:

  • Do not invest more than 5 to 10% of your non-real estate assets in this asset class,
  • Do not invest savings that may be necessary in the short or medium term,
  • Diversify your investments as much as possible within this asset class, so that each investment never represents more than 10% of the invested portfolio and
  • The return on investment depends on the success of the funded project.

These general points are provided for information purposes, and compliance with them does not imply any obligation on the part of Blast Club.

4.1.4 Anti-money laundering — KYC

As Service 1 offered by Blast Club is limited to a presentation of Startups and their Participatory Financing Offer to Members, Members are informed that Blast Club is not a financial intermediary legally required to comply with regulations relating to the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism and tax fraud.

However, Blast Club reserves the right to ask any Member, when requesting access to the Services or later, for information concerning him/her required by the regulations relating to the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism and tax fraud.

To this end, Blast Club reserves the right to request the production of the following documents:

  • copy of a valid identity document;
  • copy of a proof of address less than three (3) months old;
  • form on the origin of income and assets;
  • If a legal entity
    • kbis extract less than three (3) months old,
    • copy of latest financial statements,
    • list of beneficial owners.

4.2 Service 2: Investing in an SPV dedicated to acquiring a stake in a Startup

Subscriptions are made via SPVs created by Blast Club. The Blast Club team is in charge of legally creating the SPV so that Members can participate in it. It is then this same SPV created for the occasion that takes the stake in the Startup.

Service 2 will take place in two (2) phases: an intent phase during which each Member may indicate an intent to subscribe to financial securities of the SPV dedicated to taking a stake in a Startup (the” Intent Period ”) and a Subscription phase during which the Member who has indicated an intent during the Intent Period must effectively subscribe to the financial securities of the SPV dedicated to taking a stake in a Startup and release his/her Subscription, in particular through the intermediary of PSP Bank (the” Subscription period ”).

In the event that at the end of the Intent Period, the intents expressed by all Members exceed the maximum amount to be invested in the SPV dedicated to taking a stake in a Startup, Blast Club will select the Members who can participate in the Participatory Financing Offer using the Algorithm.

In addition, members with an intent at the end of the Intent Period who did not actually subscribe to the financial securities of the SPV dedicated to taking a stake in a Startup and release their Subscription, in particular through the PSP Bank within eight (8) calendar days following the start of the Subscription Period, may be excluded from the Participatory Financing Offer and the investment fees provided for in Article 5.2 will remain due to Blast Club.

It is specified that Subscribers who are said to be “uninformed” at the end of the Risk Questionnaire will benefit from a period of reflection during which they can, at any time, revoke their investment offer or their expression of interest in the Participatory Financing Offer without giving any reason and without incurring any penalty. The cooling-off period starts when the uninformed Potential Subscriber makes an investment offer or indicates an expression of interest and expires after four (4) calendar days from that moment.

PSP Bank will create a payment account called a “wallet” to be funded by Members by bank card, transfer or direct debit in order to validly indicate an intent to subscribe to SPV financial securities dedicated to taking a stake in a Startup. In case of Subscription, the Subscriber's Subscribed Amount will be directly withdrawn from his/her wallet. Thus, before making a Subscription, the Member must therefore ensure that he/she has the money available on his/her wallet.

During the Subscription Period, the funds will be placed on a restricted and secure payment account hosted at PSP Bank and not accessible by the Startup, by the SPV or even by Blast Club.

4.3 Service 3: Access the Marketplace

Blast Club has set up the Marketplace within which Members can announce the sale or purchase of all or some of the financial securities of the SPV dedicated to taking a stake in Startups that were initially offered via the Website.

It is recalled, as necessary, that the Marketplace is not a trading platform in accordance with the Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 and as such, does not consist of an internal matching system executing orders multilaterally.

Any purchase or sale activity on the Marketplace is carried out at the discretion of each Member and under his/her sole responsibility.

Announcements of sale on the Marketplace are not equivalent to placing an order and may call into question the tax advantage that a Member would have potentially enjoyed when subscribing to the titles concerned; Blast Club assumes no responsibility and cannot be held liable for the loss of a previously obtained tax advantage.

4.4 Service 4: Meetings between Members and Startups

In order to allow the Member to position him/herself and mark his/her intent on a Participatory Financing Offer and to subscribe to this offer, he/she will have the opportunity to access meeting and discussion times. Insofar as Blast Club provides general information and the Member remains responsible for carrying out his/her own due diligence for the purposes of the Subscription, the objective of these meetings will be to enable Members and Startups to discuss the proposed Participatory Financing Offers.

No volume is guaranteed. If no meeting is organized, the Member will not have access to any meeting.

This Service 4 is offered free of charge.

5. Blast Club compensation

The Services offered by Blast Club are of an onerous nature, with the exception of Service 4, which is offered free of charge. The pricing conditions applicable to Members are set out below.

5.1 Right of access to Services

The term “membership” used on the Website corresponds to the right of access to the Services that a Member must pay. Registration as a Member on Blast Club is subject to a fee and valid for one (1) year. The cost of this registration is an essential prerequisite for making investments.

Only a Member may subscribe to financial securities of the SPV dedicated to acquiring stakes in a Startup. The membership fees paid by the Member therefore depend on the investment envisaged by the Member during the period.

These membership fees therefore constitute a connection between a Member and Startups involving financial securities and are therefore exempt from VAT.

Thus, depending on the status of the membership, the Member will be entitled to:

  • “Bronze” status, a right to invest a maximum amount of €2,000 per Participatory Financing Offer and €10,000 in total over 1 year in return for payment of a €1,000 access fee to Services. No Priority Voucher;
  • “Silver” status, a right to invest a maximum amount of €5,000 per Participatory Financing Offer and €25,000 in total over 1 year in return for payment of a €1,500 access fee to Services. No Priority Voucher;
  • “Gold” status, a right to invest a maximum amount of €15,000 per Participatory Financing Offer and €50,000 in total over 1 year in return for payment of a €3,000 access fee to Services. 1 Priority Voucher;
  • “Platinum” status, a right to invest a maximum amount of €30,000 per Participatory Financing Offer and €100,000 in total over 1 year in return for payment of a €5,000 access fee to Services. 2 Priority Vouchers; and
  • “Diamond” status, a right to invest a maximum amount of €100,000 per Participatory Financing Offer and an unlimited amount in total over 1 year in return for payment of a €10,000 access fee to Services. 3 Priority Vouchers.

A Member may, provided that the Blast Club selection committee has issued a favorable opinion, modify his/her status to a higher status provided that he/she has made this request within thirty (30) calendar days following the payment of his/her initial membership. As such, the Member will benefit from the higher status from the date of the favorable opinion notified by the Blast Club selection committee and payment of the amount of the right to access the Services corresponding to the new status. The amount invested under the former status will be deducted from the amount to be invested under the new status.

For example, if a Member with “Silver” status since the 1s January and having invested under this statusan amount of €5,000 is authorized to upgrade to “Gold” status by the Blast Club selection committee on 1July, he ll have the option to invest between uly and December 31 a total amount of €45,000 (i.e. the difference between the maximum amount to invest from the “Gold” status of €50,000 minus the amount already invested under ilver” status).

Membership payment is made exclusively by bank transfer or bank card directly on the Website, using the secure payment module, or by direct debit from the wallet opened in the PSP Bank accounts in the name of the Member. The amounts mentioned in this article are exclusive of VAT and VAT is determined in accordance with the applicable rules.

A Member may cancel his/her membership by notifying his/her request to Blast Club during a withdrawal period fixed at fourteen (14) calendar days from the payment of his/her membership and provided that the Member has no intention of subscribing to financial securities from a SPV dedicated to taking a stake in a Startup and/or has not taken out any financial security from a SPV dedicated to taking a stake in a Startup and/or has not taken out any financial security from a SPV dedicated to taking a stake in a Startup.

A Member also has the option of changing the status of his/her membership during the duration of the membership as follows:

  • either by choosing a lower status for a period of fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of payment of his/her membership: in this case, the Member will benefit from the reimbursement of a share of the price of his/her initial membership but will not benefit from the deferral of his/her credits or, where applicable, of the initial unused priority vouchers. The duration of the membership under this inferior status will remain that of his/her initial membership.

For example, a Member who has held a “Gold” membership since February 10 of year N and who chooses a “Bronze” membership within 14 calendar days following the payment of his “Gold” membership (i.e. no later than February 24 of the year N), will benefit from a refund of a portion of the price of his “Gold” membership (up to 2,000€, i.e. the difference between the price of a “Gold” membership at 3,000€ and the price of a “Bronze” membership at 1,000€) and will then have 10,000 credits and no priority voucher. His/her “Bronze” membership will expire 12 months after the payment of his/her initial “Gold” membership (i.e. February 10 of year N+1);

  • either by choosing a higher status, at any time during the duration of his/her membership: in this case, the Member must pay the full price of this new membership and will not benefit from a refund of the price of his/her initial membership. However, he/she will benefit from the deferral of his/her credits and, where appropriate, his/her initial unused priority vouchers. Membership under this higher status will expire 12 months after payment for this new membership.

For example, a Member holding a “Gold” membership since February 10 of year N who chooses a “Platinum” membership and pays the price of the “Platinum” membership on June 10 of year N, will then have 150,000 credits (the 50,000 credits of his/her “Gold” membership, provided he/she has not used them, as well as the 100,000 credits of his/her “Platinum” membership) and 3 priority vouchers (1 priority voucher from the “Gold” membership, provided that he/she did not use it, as well as 2 priority vouchers from his/her “Platinum” membership ”). His/her “Platinum” membership will expire 12 months after the payment of this new membership (i.e. June 10 of year N+1).

At the end of the period of one (1) year (unless the Member subscribes for a new membership before the end of the initial membership period), the membership ends and the rights associated with it are stopped. The Member thus no longer has the option of investing in Participatory Financing Offers but maintains access to his/her personal space for the monitoring of Subscriptions made prior to the expiration of this period of one (1) year.

If the membership is renewed before the end of the initial membership period, the portion of the amount to be invested in respect of his/her status that was not invested during the initial membership period will be carried over to the renewed membership period.

For example, in the event of renewal before the end of the initial membership period of a Member who initially subscribed to a “Silver” status and who invested an amount of €5,000 during the initial membership period to

  • a “Bronze” status, the Member will have the option of investing a total amount of €30,000 during the renewed membership period (€20,000 carried forward as part of the initial membership, increased by €10,000 as part of the renewed membership);
  • a “Silver” status, the Member will have the option to invest a total amount of €45,000 during the renewed membership period (€20,000 carried forward as part of the initial membership, increased by €25,000 as part of the renewed membership); and
  • a “Gold” status, the Member will have the option of investing a total amount of €70,000 during the renewed membership period (€20,000 carried forward as part of the initial membership, increased by €50,000 as part of the renewed membership).

5.2 Investment costs

As part of Service 2 at the end of the Subscription Period, Blast Club receives investment fees remunerating the subscription of securities and its intermediation activity, set at between 3% and 5% of the Subscribed Amount on each investment made.

The remuneration portion is set according to the status of the Subscriber and is degressive according to the importance of the Subscriber as shown below:

3%

* as a percentage of the Subscribed Amount for each investment made under Service 2

In addition, 5% of the Subscribed Amount as part of the investment made by the Subscriber in the SPV will be kept in said SPV and then invoiced by Blast Club as operating costs, regardless of the duration of ownership of the stake subscribed by the SPV in the Startup in question.

5.3 Capital gains charges

Blast Club will collect:

  1. on the occasion of any transfer validly carried out by a partner of an SPV under the terms of the statutes of said SPV, a commission of 20% on the gain made by the selling partner, calculated as follows: [Selling price per share net of selling transaction costs] MINUS [Acquisition price per share, excluding the price of membership in the Blast Club, excluding Blast Club membership fee, investment costs, structuring costs,  transaction costs or any other investment-related costs]. This amount will be deducted by Blast Club prior to the payment of the gain made;
  2. on the occasion of any distribution or proceeds from the total or partial liquidation of an SPV to an associate of said SPV, a commission of 20% on the gain realized by the selling associate, calculated as follows: [Liquidation bonus per share] MINUS [Acquisition price per share net of buyer transaction costs, excluding Blast Club membership fee, investment costs, structuring costs, transaction costs or any other investment-related costs]. This amount will be collected by Blast Club in the form of a delegation of payment made by the associate to the SPV concerned to pay this commission to Blast Club prior to payment of the realized gain;

3.on the occasion of any reduction in the capital of an SPV following a total or partial sale of the shares held by the said SPV in the Startup, a commission of 20% on the gain realized by the selling partner, calculated as follows: [Redemption price per share] MINUS [Acquisition price per share excluding Blast Club membership fee, investment costs, structuring costs, transaction costs or any other investment-related costs]. This amount will be collected by Blast Club in the form of a payment delegation made by the associate to the SPV concerned to pay this commission to Blast Club prior to payment of the realized gain.

It is specified, as necessary, that this commission will apply to transactions made on the Marketplace.

The amounts mentioned in this article are exclusive of VAT and VAT is determined in accordance with the applicable rules.

5.4 Extra credits & boosters

The Member will have the possibility, through the store available on the Website, to purchase the following services, directly related to the planned investment and allowing him/her to increase his/her investment by going beyond what is allowed according to the membership formula chosen:

  • Additional investment credits, starting at €350, allowing you to invest beyond the total limits set by your membership package.
  • Boosters starting at €150, allowing you to invest more than the authorized limit on a given operation.
  • Packs including credits and boosters, starting at €500.

Services paid for in this way are exempt from VAT insofar as they are likely to create, modify or extinguish the rights and obligations of Members and Startups on securities.

Payment for credits and boosters purchased from the store available on the Website is made exclusively by bank transfer or credit card directly on the Website, using the secure payment module, or by direct debit from the wallet opened in the accounts of PSP Bank in the Member's name.

Credits and boosters purchased on the store available on the Website may be used by the Member as soon as they have been paid in full and for the remaining term of their membership. At the end of the membership period, credits and boosters purchased on the store available on the Website that have not been used will be lost as long as the membership is not renewed before the end of the initial membership period. If the membership is renewed before the end of the initial membership period, any credits and boosters purchased on the store available on the Website that have not been used will be carried over to the renewed membership period.

A Member may cancel a purchase made on the store available on the Website by notifying his/her request to Blast Club during a withdrawal period set at fourteen (14) calendar days from the payment of this purchase and provided that the Member did not use the investment credits and/or boosters purchased on the store available on the Website.

5.5 Information on taxation on the sale of shares and capital gains

The Subscriber acknowledges that he/she has been informed that the sale of shares in unlisted companies is subject to registration duty and that capital gains on the sale of shares are subject to taxation under conditions specific to the particular situation of each tax household.

6. Commitments and liability of Blast Club

Blast Club is committed to providing the Services in accordance with the Terms and Conditions. Blast Club undertakes to provide the Services diligently, it being specified that it has an obligation of means, to the exclusion of any obligation of result, which the Member expressly acknowledges and accepts.

Blast.Club OPTF Terms and Conditions

It is important to carefully read the Terms and Conditons of the Blast.Club website and to understand them. By accepting these terms and conditions, you agree to comply with the following terms and conditions, as well as the Terms and Conditions of Docusign and LemonWay.


Members' attention is drawn to the fundamental difference between:

  • the offer of Blast.Club as a financial intermediary and regulated by the AMF as an ECSP authorized under the number FP-2023-12 and
  • the so-called “OPTF” offer relating to securities offered by companies controlled by Blast or its main partners (Blast acting strictly within the scope of Article L. 531-2 of the Monetary and Financial Code).

These General Terms and Conditions relate exclusively to this second offer called “OPTF” and Members understand and accept that they are not in the ECSP universe.


Preamble

The “OPTF” section of Blast.club allows natural or legal persons with a valid subscription to Blast.club (hereinafter the “Members”) to have access to Offers to the Public of Financial Securities (OPTF) offered by companies controlled by Blast or its main partners, as issuers (hereinafter the “Issuers”), in order to invest indirectly in projects in which they wish to invest.

The Issuers will be formed in the form of public limited companies and will have a share capital of at least 37,000 euros. Detailed information relating to the Issuers will be provided to Members at the time of each planned investment transaction.

The purpose of the Issuers will be:

  • the acquisition, the holding and management of shares in unlisted companies;
  • the carrying out of any related or complementary activities related to this object;
  • and, more generally, any operations that strictly contribute to the achievement of this object.

The Offers to the Public of Financial Securities that are proposed by Blast meet the requirements of Regulation 2017/1129 and the provisions of Article L.411-2-1 of the Monetary and Financial Code relating in particular to the issuance of an offer to the public below the threshold of 8 million euros over twelve rolling months. In this perspective, Investor Members will have access, prior to any subscription, either to the Prospectus or to the Synthetic Information Document issued and specific to each offer in accordance with the AMF Recommendation Position 2018-07.

The Issuers use the Blast.Club website. Investor Members therefore have the possibility to invest in the projects they offer directly online and in a completely dematerialized manner.

Blast has set up a dedicated email address in order to allow each Investor Member to be able to contact it directly regarding an Issuer's operation: support-membre@blast.club

      It should be noted that the ECSP process requires the suitability test to be renewed each year, or before that date if Blast Club is informed by the Member of a change concerning, as the case may be, his/her family situation, financial situation or investment objectives, and if these changes are likely to significantly alter the results of his/her last suitability test;
    2. Communicate additional information about his or her identity (e.g. date of birth, address, tax residence, SIRENE number, etc.); and

This notification is made, as far as possible, within twenty-four (24) working hours of the date on which all the information listed above was communicated on the Website.

4. Description of offers and services

Apart from the projects proposed by the ECSP Blast.Club platform on the dedicated Website interface, Members have access to Issuers' Offers and to information relating to their operations (should they become shareholders in some of them).

4.1 Issuer offers

4.1.1 Introduction

The Issuing Companies will occasionally offer Members to invest in their capital to help finance investment projects in high-potential companies (hereinafter the Targets).
These fundraisings fall strictly within the scope of European regulations relating to OPTFs laid down by EU Regulation 2017/1129 requiring the preparation of a Prospectus subject to AMF approval if the Offer addressed to a circle of investors greater than 149, is greater than 8 million euros and the minimum ticket per investor is less than 100,000 euros.

Such fundraising may also be less than eight (8) million euros calculated over a twelve (12) month period. As such, these fundraisings will be exempt from the requirement to prepare a prospectus subject to AMF approval under Article 3. 2. b) of Prospectus Regulation 2017/1129 of June 14, 2017.
All information and conditions of financing of the Offers will be found in the documentation sent to the Member prior to the finalization of his/her investment (statutes, subscription form and SID).
In accordance with the provisions of article 212-44 of the AMF's General Regulations and Position Recommendation 2018-07, the Issuers will send Members a SID prior to any subscription, containing the information listed in article 4.1.2 hereof.
The SID is also sent to the AMF for information. Members are advised that this SID is not subject to validation by the AMF.
Due to certain constraints of the markets on which Issuers may invest, Target identities and related information may not be available until after the Member has invested in the capital of an Issuer. In this case, the Member will be offered the possibility (opt out) of withdrawing from the investment in the light of said information, by selling his or her shares and having any shareholder current account reimbursed, without remuneration or penalty.

4.1.2 Supplementary Information Document

In accordance with Position Recommendation 2018-07, each SID includes:

  • a presentation of the Issuer and a description of its activity, its project and the use of the funds raised, including the latest accounts if they exist, forecasts on activity, fundraising, financing and cash flow, as well as an organization chart of the management team and shareholders;
  • information on the level of participation to which the directors of the Issuer have themselves committed themselves in the context of the proposed Offer;
  • comprehensive information on all the rights attached to the securities offered under the proposed Offer (voting rights, financial rights and information rights), as well as on the categories of beneficiaries of these securities;
  • a description of the provisions contained in the articles of association or a pact and organizing the liquidity of the securities or an explicit mention of the absence of such provisions;
  • the conditions under which the copies of the entries in the individual accounts
  • Members investing in the Issuer's books, materializing the ownership of their shares and any shareholders' current accounts, will be issued;
  • a description of the risks specific to the Issuer's activity and project;
  • if they exist, a copy of the reports of the corporate bodies for the attention of the general meetings of the last financial year and the current financial year as well as, where applicable, a copy of the report (s) of the auditor (s) carried out during the last financial year and the current financial year;
  • the date of the version of the Supplementary Information Document.

Each Issuer will be responsible for the completeness, accuracy and balance of the information provided in this respect.

4.1.3 Risk warning

The decision to express interest, subscribe or withdraw is fully the responsibility of the investing Member and is their own responsibility. An Issuer cannot be held responsible for the financial and tax consequences of decisions taken by the investing Member.

Members are therefore invited to carefully read all the documentation made available to them on the Website before expressing their interest or investing.

It is also recalled that any investment in unlisted companies involves specific risks such as:

  • risk of partial or total loss of invested capital;
  • risk of illiquidity of the subscribed securities (resale not guaranteed);
  • risk of partial or zero repayment of their possible shareholders' current accounts;
  • risk of unavailability of the amounts invested (the return on investment depending on the success of the investments of a financed Issuer).

It is up to each Member, when considering investing in an Offer, to ensure, by means of their own due diligence, studies and analyses and, where applicable, those of knowledgeable and competent professionals, that this investment is part of their investment strategy and corresponds to their personal, financial, asset and tax situation.

It is therefore recommended that each Member, in addition to the tests carried out on the Website, carry out a precise and detailed analysis for each investment envisaged in an Issuer:

  1. of their financial capacity to bear the economic risk of the planned investment,
  2. that he/she has sufficient means to meet his/her current and future needs and those of his/her family and loved ones and
  3. has no need for liquidity in relation to the planned investment.

By subscribing to an Offer, the Member will be deemed to expressly declare that he/she knows and applies the essential wealth management rules concerning the investment in the capital of unlisted companies, including in particular the following principles:

  • Do not invest more than 5 to 10% of your non-real estate assets in this asset class,
  • Do not invest savings that may be necessary in the short or medium term,
  • Diversify your investments as much as possible within this asset class, so that each investment never represents more than 10% of the invested portfolio and
  • The return on investment depends on the success of the investments of a financed Issuer.

These general points are recalled for information purposes, without compliance with them constituting any obligation on the part of Blast Mars.

4.2 Meetings between Members and Startups — Service 2

In order to allow the Member to position him/herself and to mark his/her intent on an Offer and to subscribe to this offer, he/she will have the possibility of accessing meeting and discussion times. Insofar as Blast Club provides general information and the Member remains required to carry out his/her own due diligence for the purposes of the Subscription, the objective of these meetings will be to allow Members and Startups to discuss the Offerings offered.

No volume is guaranteed. If no meeting is organized, the Member will not have access to any meeting.

This Service 2 is offered free of charge.

5. Blast Club compensation

The Services offered by Blast Club are of an onerous nature, with the exception of meetings with Startups, which are offered free of charge. The pricing conditions applicable to Members are set out below.

5.1 Right to access the Services

The term “membership” used on the Website corresponds to the right of access to the Services that a Member must pay. Registration as a Member on Blast Club is free and valid for one (1) year. The costs of this registration are the essential prerequisite for making an investment.

Only a Member has the possibility to subscribe to the Offers. The membership fees paid by the Member therefore depend on the investment envisaged by the Member during the period.

Thus, depending on the status of the membership, the Member will have the right to:

  • “Bronze” status, a right to invest a maximum amount of €2,000 per Offer and €10,000 in total over 1 year upon payment of a right of access to the Services in the amount of €1,000. No Priority Vouchers;
  • “Silver” status, a right to invest a maximum amount of €5,000 per Offer and €25,000 in total over 1 year upon payment of a right of access to the Services in the amount of €1,500. No Priority Vouchers;
  • “Gold” status, a right to invest a maximum amount of €15,000 per Offer and €50,000 in total over 1 year upon payment of a right of access to the Services in the amount of €3,000. 1 Priority Voucher;
  • “Platinum” status, a right to invest a maximum amount of €30,000 per Offer and €100,000 in total over 1 year upon payment of a right of access to the Services in the amount of €5,000. 2 Priority Vouchers; and
  • “Diamond” status, a right to invest a maximum amount of €100,000 per Offer and an unlimited amount in total over 1 year upon payment of a right of access to the Services in the amount of €10,000. 3 Priority Vouchers.

A Member will have the possibility, provided that the Blast Club selection committee has issued a favorable opinion, to modify his/her status to a higher status provided that he/she has made this request within thirty (30) calendar days following the payment of his/her initial membership. As such, the Member will benefit from higher status as of the favorable opinion notified by the Blast Club selection committee and the payment of the amount of the right to access the Services corresponding to the new status. The amount invested under the former status will be deducted from the amount to be invested under the new status.

For example, if a Member with “Silver” status since January 1 and who has invested an amount of €5,000 under this status is authorized to upgrade to “Gold” status by the Blast Club selection committee on July 1, he/she will have the option to invest between July 1 and December 31 a total amount of €45,000 (i.e. the difference between the maximum amount to invest from the “Gold” status of €50,O00 minus the amount already invested under its “Silver” status).

Membership payment is made exclusively by bank transfer or bank card directly on the Website, using the secure payment module, or by direct debit from the wallet opened in the PSP Bank accounts in the name of the Member. The amounts mentioned in this article are exclusive of VAT and VAT is determined in accordance with the applicable rules.

A Member may cancel his membership by notifying his/her request to Blast Club during a withdrawal period fixed at fourteen (14) calendar days from the payment of his/her membership and provided that the Member has not indicated any intention to subscribe or has not subscribed to an Offer offered by Blast Mars.

A Member also has the option of changing the status of his/her membership during the duration of the membership as follows:

  • either by choosing a lower status for a period of fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of payment of his/her membership: in this case, the Member will benefit from the reimbursement of a share of the price of his/her initial membership but will not benefit from the deferral of his/her credits or, where applicable, of the initial unused priority vouchers. The duration of the membership under this inferior status will remain that of his/her initial membership.

For example, a Member who has held a “Gold” membership since February 10 of year N and who chooses a “Bronze” membership within 14 calendar days following the payment of his “Gold” membership (i.e. no later than February 24 of the year N), will benefit from a refund of a portion of the price of his “Gold” membership (up to 2,000€, i.e. the difference between the price of a “Gold” membership at 3,000€ and the price of a “Bronze” membership at 1,000€) and will then have 10,000 credits and no priority voucher. His/her “Bronze” membership will expire 12 months after the payment of his/her initial “Gold” membership (i.e. February 10 of year N+1);

    • either by choosing a higher status, at any time during the duration of his/her membership: in this case, the Member must pay the full price of this new membership and will not benefit from a refund of the price of his/her initial membership. However, he/she will benefit from the deferral of his/her credits and, where appropriate, his/her initial unused priority vouchers. Membership under this higher status will expire 12 months after payment for this new membership.
    For example, a Member holding a “Gold” membership since February 10 of year N who chooses a “Platinum” membership and pays the price of the “Platinum” membership on June 10 of year N, will then have 150,000 credits (the 50,000 credits of his/her “Gold” membership, provided he/she has not used them, as well as the 100,000 credits of his/her “Platinum” membership) and 3 priority vouchers (1 priority voucher from the “Gold” membership, provided that he/she did not use it, as well as 2 priority vouchers from his/her “Platinum” membership ”). His/her “Platinum” membership will expire 12 months after the payment of this new membership (i.e. June 10 of year N+1).

At the end of the period of one (1) year (unless the Member subscribes for a new membership before the end of the initial membership period), the membership ends and the rights associated with it are stopped. The Member thus no longer has the option of investing in Offers but maintains access to his personal space for the monitoring of Subscriptions made prior to the expiration of this period of one (1) year.

If the membership is renewed before the end of the initial membership period, the portion of the amount to be invested in respect of its status that was not invested during the initial membership period will be carried over to the renewed membership period.

For example, in the event of renewal before the end of the initial membership period of a Member who initially subscribed to a “Silver” status and who invested an amount of €5,000 during the initial membership period to

  • a “Bronze” status, the Member will have the option of investing a total amount of €30,000 during the renewed membership period (€20,000 carried forward as part of the initial membership, increased by €10,000 as part of the renewed membership);
  • a “Silver” status, the Member will have the option to invest a total amount of €45,000 during the renewed membership period (€20,000 carried forward as part of the initial membership, increased by €25,000 as part of the renewed membership); and
  • a “Gold” status, the Member will have the option of investing a total amount of €70,000 during the renewed membership period (€20,000 carried forward as part of the initial membership, increased by €50,000 as part of the renewed membership).

5.2 Fees

No specific fees will be invoiced to Members for the Offers that will be offered to them and their possible subscriptions.

On the other hand, Members' attention is drawn to the fact that Blast will charge fees and commissions to Issuers, due to the services that Blast will provide them. Such fees and commissions will, on a case-by-case basis, be described on the Website and in the fundraising documentation, the SID or the Prospectus (depending on the nature of the Offers), for each transaction.

5.3 Information on taxation on the sale of shares and capital gains

The Subscriber acknowledges being informed that the sale of shares in the capital of unlisted companies is subject to a registration fee and that capital gains on the sale of shares are subject to taxation under conditions specific to the particular situation of each Member.
