PROVISION OF THE PARTICIPATORY LENDING SERVICE
Each Member is duly informed herein that crowdfunding involves a number of risks, particularly:
- For Funders, the risk that any Entrepreneur to whom they have granted a Loan may default and be unable to repay said Loan, and/or that any Investment they have made may not recover the total amount of their investment and/or not within the desired timeframe;
- For Entrepreneurs, the risk of taking on excessive debt and thereby being unable to meet their current liabilities with available assets.
Each Member hereby declares that they are aware of these risks and expressly accept them.
4.2.1 Submission of a Project by Entrepreneurs and Selection by OPTIONS
Once a User is validly registered as an Entrepreneur, they can submit their project to OPTIONS from their personal space on the Site.
To do so, the Entrepreneur must complete a form on the Site and provide OPTIONS with the required supporting documents.
OPTIONS reviews each project submitted to it free of charge and informs the relevant Entrepreneur, as soon as practicable, whether the project is eligible on the platform.
4.2.2 Posting of Selected Projects on the Site
Once a project is declared eligible on the platform, OPTIONS contacts the Entrepreneur directly to determine the conditions under which the fundraising campaign will be conducted.
These conditions are governed by the Service Agreement concluded between OPTIONS and the relevant Entrepreneur.
4.2.3 Issuance of Loan Offers and Signing of Loan Agreements by Funders
Each Funder may issue one [1] or more Loan Offers per project. Each Loan Offer issued may be for an amount starting from fifty [50] euros.
Issuance of a Loan Offer is only possible if, at the time of issuance of said Loan Offer, the relevant Funder has a sufficient amount of electronic money in their Basket E-Wallet corresponding to at least the amount of said Loan Offer.
Each issuance of a Loan Offer is formalized by the signing of a Loan Agreement by the relevant Funder on the Site, in accordance with the procedure described below.
Each Funder expressly acknowledges that the implementation of this procedure constitutes an electronic signature of the relevant Loan Agreement by the Lending Funder, as defined in Article 1316-4 of the Civil Code.
Description of the Procedure
- The relevant Funder opens their Personal Space on the Site.
- The relevant Funder enters the modifiable parameters of the Loan Offer to be issued (i.e., the determination of the project to be funded and the amount of funds to be lent) on the Site.
- The Funder is invited to tick a box to reconfirm their acceptance of these general terms and conditions of use and the MANGOPAY T&Cs.
- At the end of the campaign and in the event of its success, the Loan Agreement is made available to the Funder from their personal space on the Site.
Any Loan Offer made in this way is firm and irrevocable. Once the Loan Offer is issued, the relevant Lending Funder may not withdraw in any way.
4.2.4. Debit of Electronic Money in Funders' Basket E-Wallets in the Event of Issuance of a Loan Offer
Each Funder expressly accepts and acknowledges that the issuance of any Loan Offer will result in an irrevocable instruction to MANGOPAY to transfer the amounts corresponding to the Loan Offer from their Basket E-Wallet to the dedicated Project E-Wallet created for the fundraising campaign in question.
Each Funder also accepts and acknowledges that they will no longer be able to demand the return of any sums in electronic money transferred from their Basket E-Wallet during the entire duration of the fundraising campaign in question.
At the end of said campaign, any sums in electronic money transferred will, as the case may be, be returned to the relevant Funder's Basket E-Wallet or used for the purpose of making the Loan available, under the conditions set out in Section 4.2.5 below.
Each Funder expressly grants OPTIONS a mandate to forward any instruction to MANGOPAY, in their name and on their behalf, to make the debit referred to in the first paragraph of this section 4.2.4 without delay from the issuance of the relevant Loan Offer.
4.2.5 Monitoring the Campaign - Conclusion of Loan Agreements
For each project posted on the Site for which a fundraising campaign is ongoing, OPTIONS indicates:
- the Minimum Subscription Threshold;
- the Maximum Subscription Cap;
- the duration (in days) remaining before the end of the campaign as initially agreed between OPTIONS and the relevant Entrepreneur in the Service Agreement they have concluded (hereinafter the "Initially Scheduled End Date");
- the cumulative amount of Loan Offers issued so far.
Each fundraising campaign ends on the Initially Scheduled End Date.
If, on the Initially Scheduled End Date, the cumulative amount of all Loan Offers issued in relation to the project in question is greater than the Minimum Subscription Threshold, then:
- the relevant Entrepreneur must accept all such Loan Offers and sign each corresponding Loan Agreement; and
- OPTIONS (acting on behalf of the relevant Funder) instructs MANGOPAY to transfer the funds corresponding to each Loan (less any amount due to OPTIONS) to the relevant Entrepreneur's Borrower Bank Account and to debit the amount of the sums thus transferred from the electronic money balance in the dedicated E-Wallet created for the fundraising campaign in question.
If, on the other hand, on the Initially Scheduled End Date, the cumulative amount of all Loan Offers issued in relation to the project in question is less than the Minimum Subscription Threshold, then:
- each Loan Offer made through the Site in relation to this project becomes null and void; and
- the sums in electronic money corresponding to each Loan are returned to each relevant Lender by payment to their Basket E-Wallet.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Maximum Subscription Cap for the fundraising campaign in question is reached, said campaign will end on the date the Maximum Subscription Cap is reached.
In this case, on that date:
- the relevant Entrepreneur must accept all such Loan Offers and sign each corresponding Loan Agreement; and
- OPTIONS (acting on behalf of the relevant Funder) instructs MANGOPAY to transfer the funds corresponding to each Loan to the relevant Entrepreneur's Borrower Bank Account and to debit the amounts thus transferred from the electronic money balance in the dedicated E-Wallet created for the fundraising campaign in question.
To execute the present terms, OPTIONS must:
- receive all Loan Offers made through the Site;
- at each stage of the campaign, calculate the cumulative amount of all Loan Offers issued to date and publish this information in real time on the Site;
- at each stage of the campaign, calculate the period remaining before the Initially Scheduled End Date and publish this information in real time on the Site;
- on the occurrence of the Initially Scheduled End Date, determine whether the cumulative amount of Loan Offers issued by that date is above or below the Minimum Subscription Threshold;

4.2.6 Monitoring Loans and Repayment of Instalments
4.2.6.1 Loan Monitoring
OPTIONS provides each Entrepreneur who has contracted one or more Loans with a global amortization schedule for each of these Loans on their personal space accessible on the Site, showing, in particular, the dates and amounts (principal and interest) of past and future instalments for each Loan.
OPTIONS provides each Lending Funder with a global amortization schedule for each Loan they have granted, showing, in particular, the dates and amounts (principal and interest) of past and future instalments for each Loan.

Any payment and any repayment due by each Entrepreneur to any Lending Funder or to OPTIONS (principal, interest, late interest, fees, or other) in respect of a Loan and/or the provision of the Participatory Lending Service shall be payable and must be made by that Entrepreneur on the due date, with same-day value and in immediately available funds.
To this end, the relevant Entrepreneur irrevocably authorizes OPTIONS to give, in their name and on their behalf, instructions to MANGOPAY to debit their Borrower Bank Account for any amount due under the relevant Loan and/or for the provision of the Participatory Lending Service, throughout the duration of each Loan Agreement, and undertakes to:
- take all necessary steps to enable MANGOPAY to make said debit from the Borrower Bank Account throughout the duration of the relevant Loan Agreement (including signing any debit authorization or other document necessary to implement such a debit facility);
- throughout the duration of the relevant Loan Agreement, refrain from objecting to, revoking, or taking any action to terminate MANGOPAY's ability to make said debit and to take any steps necessary, if applicable, to maintain MANGOPAY's ability to debit the Borrower Bank Account; and
- maintain sufficient funds in the Borrower Bank Account on the dates when payments are due by them to the relevant Lending Funder and/or to OPTIONS under the relevant Loan Agreement.
In the event that, on a given date on which payments are to be made by an Entrepreneur to a Funder and/or OPTIONS, the available balance in the Borrower Bank Account is insufficient to fully settle the Lender, the Third-Party Lenders, and the Intermediary, this amount shall be allocated in the order provided for in the provisions of the Model Loan Agreement.
4.2.7 Entrepreneur Default
Each Entrepreneur undertakes to inform OPTIONS without delay of the occurrence of any event constituting a "Default Event" (as defined in the Model Loan Agreement) as soon as they become aware of it.
OPTIONS will inform each relevant Lending Funder of the existence of any "Default Event" so communicated to it, as well as any other "Default Event" of which it becomes aware.
Each Lending Funder expressly mandates OPTIONS, in the event of any default in respect of a Loan they have granted (whether it concerns an instalment due by that Entrepreneur or amounts declared immediately due by the relevant Lending Funder pursuant to the provisions of the relevant Loan Agreement), to send, in their name and on their behalf, any notice reminding the Entrepreneur of their obligation to settle the unpaid amounts.
If OPTIONS deems it necessary to ensure the recovery of unpaid amounts, it may also propose the services of a collection agency to the relevant Lending Funders.
4.2.8 Pricing Terms
