Terms & Conditions (T&C)
Welcome to New Ventures Group AG (NVG). By accessing and using this website (nvg.ag), its services, and its informational content, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. These Terms and Conditions govern your use of NVG’s platform, investment-related services, startup advisory, bond emissions and other business solutions. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you should discontinue your use of the platform immediately.
1. About New Ventures Group AG
New Ventures Group AG is a Swiss-based company with its registered office in Zurich, Switzerland. The company is active in the field of venture capital investments, startup advisory and innovation-driven business solutions. NVG is not a licensed financial intermediary, investment firm or securities dealer within the meaning of the Swiss Financial Market Supervision Act (FINMASA), nor is it registered as such outside Switzerland. NVG does not provide investment advice, portfolio management, financial advisory or brokerage services. Any financial information provided on the platform is offered solely for informational purposes. Unless explicitly stated in legally binding documents such as a prospectus, term sheet or subscription agreement, the information presented does not constitute an offer, a solicitation or a recommendation to buy or sell securities, financial products or investment instruments.
2. Scope of Services
NVG provides its users with access to selected services that include but are not limited to the publication of market insights, industry reports and analytical content for educational and informational purposes. This material is not tailored to the specific circumstances of individual users and therefore does not represent financial advice. For startups and entrepreneurs, NVG may provide strategic business consulting, assistance with fundraising activities and operational advisory services. Startups can submit applications for venture capital funding, but NVG retains full discretion in evaluating these applications and no assurance is given that an investment will be made. The platform may further facilitate introductions and networking between startups, investors and partners; however, NVG reserves the right to determine which users are granted access to its network and services.
3. No Financial or Investment Advice
All content and tools accessible on the NVG platform serve general informational purposes. They do not take into account the financial situation, investment objectives or risk appetite of any particular user. NVG makes no representation or warranty as to the completeness, accuracy or reliability of the information published. Users remain solely responsible for conducting their own due diligence and for seeking independent advice from qualified professionals such as licensed financial advisors, lawyers or accountants before making investment or business decisions. The use of NVG’s platform does not create an advisory, fiduciary or client relationship between the user and NVG, unless explicitly confirmed through a separate written agreement.
4. Emissions and Financial Instruments
From time to time NVG may publish or facilitate the issuance of bonds, private placements or other financial instruments. The information provided on the platform about such emissions is strictly for informational purposes and does not, by itself, constitute a legally binding offer or solicitation. The only binding terms are contained in the official issuance documents, such as the prospectus, subscription form, or term sheet, which must be reviewed carefully by potential investors prior to making any investment decision. Emissions with a total volume of less than CHF 5 million may, in accordance with Swiss regulatory requirements, also be offered to retail investors, while emissions exceeding this threshold are reserved exclusively for qualified and professional investors as defined by the Swiss Financial Services Act (FinSA/FIDLEG). NVG does not guarantee that an emission will be successfully completed, nor does it guarantee that an investor will receive an allocation. It is the responsibility of each user to verify that their participation complies with the laws and regulations applicable in their jurisdiction. In case of discrepancies between the information on the platform and the official issuance documents, the latter shall always prevail.
5. Who Can Use NVG’s Platform?
NVG’s services are primarily designed for qualified and professional investors under FinSA/FIDLEG, as well as for startups and entrepreneurs seeking investment or advisory support. Where permitted under Swiss law, emissions under CHF 5 million may also be directed to retail investors, but this does not extend to general retail access to all parts of the platform. By using NVG’s services, users confirm that they meet the eligibility requirements applicable to them. Users located outside Switzerland must ensure that their use of the platform complies with their domestic regulatory regime. NVG declines any responsibility for breaches of foreign law resulting from access or participation by users outside Switzerland.
6. Intellectual Property Rights
All intellectual property rights in the content, tools, documents, graphics, logos and design of NVG’s platform remain the exclusive property of NVG. The platform and its content are protected under Swiss copyright and intellectual property law. Users are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the platform for informational and business purposes. Any reproduction, distribution, modification or commercial use of NVG’s materials without explicit prior written consent is strictly prohibited.
7. Data Protection & Privacy
NVG collects, stores and processes personal data strictly for the purpose of authentication, provision of investment tools and delivery of advisory services. The processing of personal data is carried out in compliance with NVG’s Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of these Terms and Conditions. The platform makes use of cookies and analytics technologies in order to improve functionality, optimize performance and monitor engagement. Users may manage their cookie settings through their browsers. NVG may also integrate tools and services from third-party providers. While NVG exercises care in selecting such providers, it assumes no responsibility for their data protection practices or compliance.
8. Liability Limitations
The information and services provided on the NVG platform are offered without warranty of any kind, either express or implied. NVG does not guarantee financial returns, startup success or the performance of any investment products. NVG is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages that may arise from reliance on information published on the platform, from unsuccessful applications for funding, from rejected investment allocations, or from adverse market developments. Users acknowledge that investments, particularly in early-stage companies and private placements, involve significant risks including the potential loss of capital.
9. Verein Ombudsstelle Finanzdienstleister (OFD) (Ombudsman Office)
In line with the requirements of the Swiss Financial Services Act (FinSA/FIDLEG), NVG is affiliated with the Verein Ombudsstelle Finanzdienstleister (OFD), an independent ombudsman’s office. Clients who consider themselves aggrieved by NVG in relation to financial services have the right to seek alternative dispute resolution through the OFD before initiating legal proceedings. The OFD acts as a neutral mediator in such cases. The ombudsman’s contact details are available on its official website www.ofdl.ch, by email at ombudsmann@ofdl.ch, by phone at +41 44 562 05 25, or by post at Bleicherweg 10, 8002 Zurich, Switzerland.
10. Amendments & Termination
NVG reserves the right to amend these Terms and Conditions at any time. Changes will be published on the platform, and continued use of the platform following publication constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. Users are expected to review these Terms and Conditions regularly. NVG may suspend or terminate user access if it determines that there has been a violation of these Terms and Conditions, misuse of the platform or engagement in unlawful activity. NVG also reserves the right to modify, restrict or discontinue any part of its services at any time without prior notice.
11. Governing Law & Jurisdiction
These Terms and Conditions are governed by and shall be interpreted in accordance with Swiss law. The courts of Zurich, Switzerland, shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes arising in connection with these Terms and Conditions, unless an alternative dispute resolution process is initiated with the OFD in accordance with FinSA/FIDLEG.
