The Platform is an intermediary platform providing loans to Borrowers with loan amounts financed
by the direct assignment of loan claims to Investors who provide the money for the Borrower’s projects. For their projects, Borrowers are seeking to obtain funds over the Platform. Therefore, Borrowers and Maclear conclude a loan agreement (Loan Agreement). The loan amount that has been issued to the Borrower shall be repaid to Maclear by the Borrower plus the interest set in advance and transferred to the Investors by Maclear in proportion to their investments.

Investors may finance part or all of the loan by acquiring from Maclear the assignment of the loan
claims under the Loan Agreement. When an Investor finances a project or part thereof, it becomes bound to Maclear by an assignment agreement (Claim Purchase & Assignment Agreement).
