Terms of Use
Version 1.1 · Effective 3 September 2026 · Version française
1. Purpose
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the KAPEX platform (the “Platform”), published by Gelios Investment & Partners Ltd within the Capital & Finance Cluster of the CEO Summit Indian Ocean.
The Platform's purpose is to connect, in strict confidence, project owners with qualified investors active in the Indian Ocean and Africa.
2. Acceptance
Registering on the Platform constitutes full acceptance of these Terms and of the Privacy Policy. Every user declares having read these documents and being legally capable of contracting.
Your acceptance is recorded together with the version number of the Terms then in force. When a new version takes effect it is presented to you on your next sign-in, and your acceptance is recorded again.
3. Services
- Submission of funding files by project owners;
- Confidential introductions to investors of the CEO Summit network;
- Activity tracking on each file (views, saves, expressions of interest);
- Email and in-app notifications on the progress of each file;
- Access to qualified deal flow for investor members of the network.
4. Confidentiality of files
4.1 — Nothing is public. No file appears on any page reachable without an account. Files are not indexed by search engines and are disclosed to no third party outside the cases described below.
4.2 — Four access tiers. What an investor sees of a file depends on their tier, and moving from one tier to the next always requires a distinct act. These rules are enforced by the database, not by the interface: a user cannot obtain by another route what their tier does not give them.
- Tier 0 — registered, unverified. The file appears under a code (“Dossier A1B2C3”), with its sector, stage, country, the type and amount of funding sought, the state of verification and the number of documents on file. Not the project name, not its description, not its city, no image, and not the owner's identity.
- Tier 1 — investor profile completed. The project name, its short description and its city are added.
- Tier 2 — profile verified by our team. Visuals and the full file are added. Only at this tier may an investor express interest and request access to the documents.
- Tier 3 — data room, file by file. Source documents open only after the investor's request, the project owner's agreement, our team's approval, and the investor's signature of a confidentiality undertaking specific to that file. Tier 3 on one file confers no right over any other.
4.3 — The owner keeps control. The project owner may at any time, from their own space, exclude countries and categories of investor from their file. The exclusion is enforced by the database: an excluded investor does not see the file, cannot express interest and cannot request the data room. The owner may also send our team a written instruction excluding named parties; that instruction is read and honoured by our team, but is by its nature not enforced automatically.
4.4 — What our team sees. Authorised staff of Gelios Investment & Partners Ltd and of its team have access to files, including the documents on them, solely for qualification, verification and introduction. This access is not subject to the exclusions in 4.3, which address investors. It is named, logged, and limited to those whose role requires it.
4.5 — Network partners. Certain partners and service providers of the CEO Summit network — advisors, structurers, law firms, guarantee funds — may be admitted to the Platform. They are registered under the same status as investors, subject to the same tiers, the same exclusions and the same confidentiality undertaking, and receive no wider access by virtue of being partners. By accepting these Terms, the project owner consents to their file being accessible to them within the limits of 4.2.
4.6 — Every consultation is recorded. Each opening of a data-room document is time-stamped and recorded with the identity of the person opening it; the owner sees this history from their file. File views and expressions of interest are likewise recorded and visible to the owner.
4.7 — Afterwards. The confidentiality undertaking binds the investor for twenty-four (24) months from signature, including after closure of their account or withdrawal of the file. Revoking access ends consultation, not that obligation. The text of that undertaking can be read here, before making any request.
5. User commitments
Users undertake to:
- Provide accurate, up-to-date and verifiable information;
- Not use the Platform for money laundering, tax fraud or illicit financing;
- Respect the confidentiality of files accessed within their mandate;
- Not solicit other users directly outside the process facilitated by our team.
6. Intellectual property
The Platform's content (excluding user files) is the exclusive property of Gelios Investment & Partners Ltd. Any unauthorised reproduction, distribution or exploitation is strictly prohibited.
Submitted files remain the property of their authors; the Platform is granted use solely for qualification and introduction purposes.
7. Limitation of liability
The Platform is neither an investment advisor nor a licensed financial intermediary within the meaning of applicable regulations. It exclusively facilitates introductions. No financial transaction is executed through the Platform, and nothing on the Platform constitutes an offer of subscription, investment advice or a recommendation. Any investment carries a risk of partial or total loss of capital and of illiquidity.
Investment decisions are the sole responsibility of the parties. Gelios Investment & Partners Ltd accepts no liability for the outcome of discussions, negotiations and agreements between users.
8. Termination
Users may delete their account at any time from the “Account & security” area. We reserve the right to suspend any account in case of breach of these Terms.
9. Changes to the Terms
These Terms may be amended at any time. Users will be notified by email and through the Platform of any substantial change. Continued use after notification constitutes acceptance.
10. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the law of Mauritius. Any dispute falls under the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Port-Louis (Mauritius), unless mandatory law provides otherwise.
