We will work with you and the payment processor in good faith to resolve the issue.
Where you specify an allocation preference (e.g., "Community Solution Labs", "School Clubs"), we will make best efforts to honor that preference. However, BWEN reserves the right to direct funds where they are most needed if a specified allocation is overfunded, no longer active, or otherwise impractical.
The content on the Site relating to Golden Agency Minerals — including but not limited to the "Invest" page — is informational only. It is not, and shall not be construed as, an offer to sell, a solicitation to buy, or a recommendation to invest in any security or financial instrument.
The Site provides general information about BWEN, the IMAGI-NATION/AIME network, the Golden Agency Minerals investment thesis, and BWEN's broader work. The Site allows you to express interest by requesting an Investment Brief.

If you choose to engage with BWEN's investment process by submitting the Investment Brief request form, you confirm that:
BWEN reserves the right to refuse to process any investment inquiry or to require investors to meet specified eligibility criteria (e.g., accredited investor, sophisticated investor, qualifying institutional investor) under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction.
Nothing on the Site constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. You should consult your own qualified advisors before making any investment decision.
Any information you submit through Site forms (contact, donation, investment brief request, newsletter) is governed by our Privacy Policy.
You confirm that information you submit is accurate, up to date, and that you have the right to submit it.
You grant BWEN a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use feedback, suggestions, and ideas you submit (excluding personal information) to improve our work — without obligation to compensate or credit you.
The Site contains links to third-party websites (e.g., AIME, Instagram, payment processors, news outlets). BWEN is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of those third-party sites. Following a link to a third-party site is at your own risk and subject to that site's own terms.
The Site is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, BWEN disclaims all warranties — including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted operation.
BWEN does not warrant that:
To the fullest extent permitted by law, BWEN, its officers, directors, employees, volunteers, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from or related to your use of the Site — including but not limited to loss of profits, data, business opportunity, or goodwill — even if BWEN has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Where liability cannot be excluded under applicable law, BWEN's aggregate liability to you in any matter arising from or related to the Site shall not exceed the greater of: (a) the total amount of donations you have made to BWEN in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) USD 100.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless BWEN, its officers, directors, employees, and affiliates from and against any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Site, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
BWEN may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, for any reason, without notice. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law) will survive.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Uganda, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
Any dispute arising from or related to these Terms or the Site shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of Kampala, Uganda — except where mandatory consumer protection law in your jurisdiction requires otherwise.
For investors and donors based outside Uganda, BWEN may agree to alternative governing law and dispute resolution provisions in separate agreements (e.g., the Subscription Agreement). Those agreements take precedence over these general Terms for matters covered by them.
BWEN may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent change. For material changes, we will post a prominent notice on the Site at least 30 days before the new Terms take effect. Continued use of the Site after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
For any question about these Terms:
These Terms of Service are a working draft. Before public launch, they should be reviewed and finalized by qualified counsel in Uganda and in BWEN's primary investor and donor jurisdictions. The "Effective" date will be set upon counsel sign-off. The investment-related disclaimers in particular must be reviewed and approved by securities counsel before any pipeline activation.
