Privacy, Legal, Policies, & Additional Resources

LupoToro Group take a strong stance against Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking. The LupoToro Group is a registered and highly regulated company. In order to uphold our high standards both from an internal perspective, as well as from a governmental perspective, we actively adhere to a modern policy to protect our employees, partners, networks, and associates.

Modern Slavery is a term used to encompass slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, bonded and child labour and human trafficking. Human trafficking is where a person arranges or facilitates the travel of another person with a view to that person being exploited. Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights.

LupoToro Group is a company that expects everyone working with us or on our behalf to support and uphold the following measures to safeguard against modern slavery. We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery in our organisation, within our private networks of colleagues, conduits, partners, and within any of our supply chains.

The prevention, detection and reporting of modern slavery in any part of our organisation or supply chain is the responsibility of all those working for us or on our behalf. Employees, contractors, workers, and partners must not engage in, facilitate or fail to report any activity that might lead to, or suggest, a breach of this policy. We are committed to engaging with our stakeholders and networks to address the risk of modern slavery in our operations. We take a risk based, approach to our contracting processes and keep them under review. We assess whether the circumstances warrant the inclusion of specific prohibitions against the use of modern slavery and trafficked labour in our contracts with third parties. Consistent with our risk-based approach we may require; employment and recruitment agencies and other third parties supplying workers to our organisation to confirm their compliance with our policy and suppliers engaging workers through a third party to obtain that third parties’ agreement to adhere to the policy.

As part of our ongoing risk assessment and due diligence processes, we will consider whether circumstances warrant us carrying out audits of suppliers for their compliance with our policy. If we find that individuals or organisations working on our behalf have breached this policy, we will ensure that we take appropriate action. This may range from considering the possibility of breaches being remediated, and whether that might represent the best outcome for those individuals impacted by the breach, to terminating such relationships.

Any supplier of works, services, or support to LupoToro Group may be asked to complete a questionnaire on Anti-Slavery. The LupoToro Group will then decide whether to carry out an on-site, in-person audit of the particular party. The results of the questionnaire will also contribute a particular parties’ overall score rating at LupoToro Group and could affect future business. Any suspected breaches of our policy will be reported to relevant authorities.

The LupoToro Group are proud to strongly uphold a no-compromise and zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, and exploitation of any sort. Any concerns should be immediately raised to legal@lupotoro.com.

If a credit is missing, please contact teams@lupotoro.com to report it.

Certain insights, articles, research notes, and commentary published on this website have been migrated from original online blog posts, media publications, and legacy digital platforms.

17. Site Terms of Service Modifications and Disclaimer of Association, Endorsement, and Website Status

Site Terms of Service Modifications:

i.                LupoToro Group may revise these Terms of Service for its Website at any time without notice. By using this website, you are agreeing to be bound by the then current version of these Terms and Conditions of Use.

Disclaimer of Association, Endorsement and Website Status:

i.                LupoToro Group make no representation, express or implied, of any relationship, involvement, partnership, agency, collaboration, joint venture, investment, sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation with any corporation (whether public or private), defense contractor, government department, research facility, or other external entity whatsoever, unless such relationship is formally executed in writing and expressly published by LupoToro through official channels.

ii.              Any appearance, reference, or incidental use of names, trademarks, images, logos, or related materials belonging to third parties is for illustrative, descriptive, or placeholder purposes only, and shall not be construed as implying any endorsement, authorization, or connection with LupoToro, and have been provided by third-party contractors (governed by separate sections of our terms, disclaimers and policies herein). Best efforts in line with our terms, disclaimers and policies are made to ensure legitimacy, correctness and compliance across all industries, sectors and jurisdictions.

iii.             This website and its contents are considered strictly conceptual in nature and are provided on an “as-is” and “as-available” basis solely for internal, illustrative, and informational purposes while the platform undergoes redevelopment. The website is not intended for reliance by the public and shall not be interpreted as a representation of active business operations, current partnerships, or official communications. Certain items contained on the site - including, without limitation, written text, images, media, documents, or other displayed materials - constitute sample, experimental, or placeholder content only. No such materials are to be relied upon as factual, current, complete, or reflective of LupoToro’s business, strategy, partnerships, or activities.

iv.             For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification obligations in this Section 22 are in addition to, and not in limitation of, the indemnification obligations set forth in Section 21 (Indemnity), and shall survive termination or expiration of these Terms.

By accessing or viewing this website, you expressly acknowledge and agree that:

1.     No reliance of any kind may be placed on the website, its contents, or any perceived association with third parties;

2.     LupoToro disclaims all responsibility and liability for any interpretation, assumption, or reliance made by visitors, third parties, or external entities based on the website or its contents;

3.     No visitor or third party shall have any claim against LupoToro, its affiliates, directors, officers, partners, employees, or agents arising out of or relating to the website, its status, or its placeholder content; and

4.     To the fullest extent permitted by law, LupoToro excludes all liability, direct or indirect, arising from any use, reliance, or interpretation of the website or its contents, whether actual, alleged, or perceived.

18. Group Partners and Assets

Group Partners and Assets are entities on our website who the LupoToro Group either have an ownership stake in (part or in full) or have agreed to host any particular entity on our website (such as a third-party company) which is wholly owned and controlled by a third-party, of who we may have potential mutual benefits. Working example: Placement of a third-party accounting firm on our website, and promoting their services, in exchange for that third-party firm providing LupoToro Group discounted or additional services for our private use. Unless specified specifically, any Group Asset on our website is a third-party entity that we reserve the right to add, remove, or update at any time without notice. We do not take responsibility for any third-party asset on our website, the information they disclose, communication they provide, works they complete or works they are subcontracted to (if any), and are hereby indemnified from responsibility pertaining to any third-party controlled asset on our website. Any person or company will be informed of this specific clause should any Partners and Assets be or form part of any discussion, agreement, or other exchange with the LupoToro Group. Any non-third party entity or asset which the LupoToro Group are currently building, testing, incubating (concept stage and not fully active or in operation), or pending official active release (active operation) will be listed under the Group Asset tab. This includes: DangerPretty and LupoTek at the time of inclusion within this disclaimer.

19. The Reach Foundation and LupoToro Group

i.               The Reach Foundation referenced on our website is an internal, conceptual initiative only, and is not an active charitable or nonprofit organization at this time. Any information provided on our site about the Reach Foundation is for informational and illustrative purposes, reflecting LupoToro’s aspirational community and charitable goals. The Reach Foundation is not operational in any capacity: it does not have legal status as a charity, it conducts no charitable programs or services, and it does not solicit or accept any donations, grants, or contributions whatsoever. We have never represented, and will not represent, the Reach Foundation as a registered nonprofit, nor do we claim any affiliation with any external charitable organizations that might be mentioned or listed in our materials. Any references on our site to other charities or nonprofit groups (for example, charities listed on a Reach Foundation page as examples or inspirations) are for reference only. LupoToro Group and the Reach Foundation do not assert any partnership or formal association with any such third-party nonprofit entities. In summary, the Reach Foundation is currently an “incubation zone” concept within LupoToro, under development for potential future launch, but it is not a functioning or authorized charity, and no user or visitor should interpret it as such.

ii.              Because the Reach Foundation is not active, LupoToro will not accept any form of donation or fundraising on its behalf. If any individual or organization offers or attempts to make a charitable donation or contribution to the Reach Foundation or LupoToro with a charitable intent, we will neither solicit nor retain those funds. At our discretion, we may direct or refer such would-be donors to unaffiliated, registered third-party nonprofit organizations that are properly licensed to accept donations, but LupoToro and the Reach Foundation will not take custody of any charitable funds.

iii.             We also do not seek or accept any public recognition or credit for charitable donations that any person or entity may make to other organizations as a result of our referral. Maintaining the Reach Foundation information on our site is meant solely as a statement of our values and future goals in community engagement, not as a fundraising platform. We reserve the right to continue displaying information about the Reach Foundation concept on our website as a way to encourage interested parties toward legitimate, independent charities or causes (acting as a **“funnel” to direct goodwill to proper channels). We also reserve the right to remove or alter the Reach Foundation content on our site at any time.

iv.             LupoToro emphasizes that any involvement with the Reach Foundation at present is non-commercial and without any financial transactions. We will never ask for money or donations for the Reach Foundation, and any such request purportedly from LupoToro should be considered fraudulent. If LupoToro decides in the future to formally launch the Reach Foundation as an operational charitable entity, we will obtain all necessary licenses, registrations, and regulatory approvals required by law before doing so. Unless and until an official public announcement is made that the Reach Foundation has become a registered and operating non-profit (with details provided on how it will accept support legally), any activities of the Reach Foundation remain strictly exploratory and non-binding. We stress that no user, customer, or other party should rely on the Reach Foundation as a service provider or donate funds under the assumption that it is a charity, because it is not. Any inquiries about charitable efforts or community initiatives should be directed to us at our official contact email, and we will clarify the current status. By including this disclaimer, LupoToro and the Reach Foundation are protected from any misunderstanding or misrepresentation regarding our nonprofit status and avoid any compliance issues with charity laws, until such time (if ever) that the Reach Foundation is properly established in accordance with all legal requirements.

20. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

LupoToro operates internationally, and we have structured our governing law provisions to reflect our operational footprint in different regions. By using this website or any LupoToro services, you agree that the governing law and dispute resolution forum for any claims arising between you and LupoToro will be determined as set forth in this section. In general, the laws of the United Arab Emirates or of Ukraine will apply, depending on the subject matter of the dispute, and certain courts in those jurisdictions will have exclusive jurisdiction, as described below.

        i.     Commercial and General Disputes (UAE Law): For all disputes or claims arising out of your use of the website or LupoToro services other than those primarily involving intellectual property, these Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Arab Emirates. You and LupoToro agree that any such non-IP dispute (including, for example, disputes related to purchases, contracts, or general online conduct) is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Dubai, UAE. You hereby consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of the Dubai courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim, and waive any objections to such venue on the grounds of inconvenience or otherwise.

       ii.     Intellectual Property and Content Disputes (Ukrainian Law): For any disputes that involve intellectual property rights or content – including, without limitation, disputes relating to copyright, trademark, or the use/misuse of content on the website, as well as disputes arising from materials supplied by our European contractors – these Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ukraine. In such cases, you agree that the claim shall be brought in, and you submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of, the courts of Ukraine. This reflects LupoToro’s engagement of European contractors and our intent to resolve content-related matters in a jurisdiction familiar with the relevant laws (e.g., the Law of Ukraine on Copyright and Related Rights, as referenced elsewhere in our policies). As with UAE disputes, you waive any jurisdictional or venue objections to litigating in Ukraine for these specific matters.

     iii.     Overlap or Unclassified Disputes: We recognize that some disputes could involve both general contractual issues and intellectual property issues, or otherwise might not squarely fall into one of the above categories. In the event a dispute between you and LupoToro cannot reasonably be classified under one of the two categories above, or involves a combination of issues, then the parties agree that such dispute will default to the laws of the United Arab Emirates, and the courts of Dubai, UAE shall have exclusive jurisdiction. In other words, unless a dispute is clearly an IP-related dispute covered by Ukrainian law, UAE law will govern. This default also applies to any “mixed” dispute that includes both IP and non-IP claims, to the extent permissible by applicable law. (If a court of competent jurisdiction ultimately determines that a different law must apply to certain claims that by law cannot be governed by the chosen law, then those claims will be governed by the relevant law as required, but the UAE law selection will be enforced to the maximum extent possible for consistency.)

1.      Regardless of which of the above applies, these Terms are not governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG); that convention is expressly excluded. Additionally, no other nation’s conflict-of-law principles will apply – the specified substantive laws of the UAE or Ukraine (as applicable) will govern, without regard to any principles that would cause the law of another jurisdiction to apply.

      iv.     Australian Registration Note: LupoToro Group Pty Ltd is an Australian-registered corporation (established 2023), but this administrative registration does not create any submission to Australian law or jurisdiction for the purposes of these Terms. LupoToro does not maintain an operational headquarters or conduct trading, revenue-generating business, or targeted services in Australia at this time. The choice of UAE or Ukrainian law as set out above remains exclusively in force and is not superseded or altered by the company’s incorporation in Australia. For the avoidance of doubt, the mere fact of LupoToro’s registration in Australia shall not give rise to Australian jurisdiction over disputes related to these Terms, and you agree not to assert any such claim. That said, LupoToro will comply with any mandatory Australian legal requirements that do apply to it (for example, Australian corporate filing obligations, or Australian privacy/data regulations to the extent applicable). Such compliance does not waive the agreed governing law or jurisdiction for dispute resolution. If you are accessing the website from a jurisdiction that provides you with certain non-waivable consumer rights or statutory protections, nothing in this section is intended to deprive you of the benefit of such protections; however, to the extent permitted, the governing law and forum for disputes will be as stated above. By entering into these Terms, you waive any right you may have, under the laws of your home jurisdiction, to claim that the governing law or forum selection provisions should not apply (subject to any statutory rights you hold that cannot lawfully be waived).

       v.     ADR/Dispute Resolution: Prior to commencing court proceedings, the parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute arising under these terms by good-faith negotiation and, if unsuccessful, by mediation conducted in the jurisdiction applicable under Section 20. Litigation may only be commenced if such efforts fail within a reasonable period (not exceeding 30 days). Mediation shall take place under the rules of the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC) for disputes governed by UAE law, or the Ukrainian Mediation Centre for disputes governed by Ukrainian law, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Mediation shall occur within thirty (30) days of a written request, unless extended by mutual agreement. Only after mediation has failed may litigation or arbitration be commenced.

21. Indemnity

User Indemnification:

i.               You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless LupoToro Group, its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, owners, partners, employees, agents, contractors, and representatives (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees) arising out of or relating to:

1.      your use of the website or any content or services obtained through the website; 

2.      any content or material you submit, post, transmit, or otherwise make available through LupoToro (including but not limited to user comments, uploads, or contributions); 

3.      your breach of these Terms or violation of any applicable law or regulation; 

4.      any actual or alleged infringement, misappropriation, or violation of any intellectual property right or other right of any third party by content you provide or actions you take; or 

5.      any fraud, willful misconduct, or negligence by you in connection with your use of the site.

                            ii.     This means that if a third party makes a claim against LupoToro related to your conduct or content, you will be responsible for all costs and damages we incur, including reasonable legal fees. For example, if you post content on our site that infringes someone’s copyright and we are sued as a result, you must indemnify us for that claim (including any damages and legal fees). The indemnification obligations in this section will apply to the fullest extent permitted by law and will survive the termination or expiration of these Terms.

1.      Director and Partner Liability Shield: No user or third party shall have any right of recourse against any director, officer, partner, or owner of LupoToro in their personal capacity. All claims must be brought solely against the company entity (LupoToro Group Pty Ltd or its affiliates). To the fullest extent permitted by law, LupoToro indemnifies its directors, partners, and officers against third-party claims arising from acts or omissions of employees, contractors, or agents acting in good faith within the scope of their duties. This indemnity shall not apply to willful misconduct, gross negligence, criminal acts, or statutory breaches by the individual concerned.

Indemnification Procedure:

i.                If any Indemnified Party receives notice of a claim or legal action to which your indemnity obligation applies, LupoToro will promptly notify you of the claim (provided that any delay in notification will not waive or reduce your indemnification obligations except to the extent you are materially prejudiced by such delay). You may elect to assume control of the defense and settlement of the claim with counsel of your choosing, provided that you give us prior written notice of your intention to do so, you conduct the defense diligently and in good faith, and you keep LupoToro informed of material developments. In any case, LupoToro reserves the right to participate in the defense of the claim, at its own expense, with counsel of its own selection, and to approve any settlement that would impose any obligation or liability on an Indemnified Party. You may not settle any claim without LupoToro’s prior written consent, unless the settlement unconditionally releases all Indemnified Parties from all liability and does not require any admission of fault or payment by any Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Parties agree to reasonably cooperate (at your expense) with your defense of the claim and to use reasonable efforts to mitigate any losses or liabilities arising from the claim. Your indemnification obligations shall survive any termination of your use of the website or these Terms and remain in effect indefinitely with respect to acts or omissions occurring before termination

No Personal Liability of Officers; Company Indemnification of Management: 

i.                You acknowledge that no director, officer, partner, or owner of LupoToro Group shall be personally liable for the acts or omissions of LupoToro, its employees, or its other agents. 

ii.              Any claims, obligations, or liabilities arising out of your use of the site or these Terms are understood to be claims against the company entity (LupoToro Group Pty Ltd or its affiliates), not against any individual associated with LupoToro. In turn, to attract and retain qualified personnel, LupoToro agrees to indemnify its directors, partners, and owners against any third-party claims or liabilities arising from actions taken by LupoToro’s employees or agents in the course of the company’s business, to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, this company indemnification of LupoToro’s management does not apply to the extent a claim is finally adjudicated to result from the individual’s own willful misconduct, gross negligence, or knowing violation of law. In other words, while LupoToro will protect its leadership from personal liability for business activities carried out in good faith, it will not indemnify any individual for that person’s personal wrongdoing. 

iii.             This clause does not limit any other protections (such as D&O insurance or statutory indemnities) that LupoToro’s officers or owners may have. It is intended primarily to clarify that users and third parties must pursue claims against the company, not its people, and that LupoToro stands behind its team members in legal matters arising from good-faith performance of their duties.

Contractor and Contributor Responsibilities:

i.                LupoToro sometimes engages independent contractors, freelancers, vendors, or other third-party contributors to assist with content creation, development, or other services. Any such third-party provider of content or services is required to adhere to strict legal and compliance obligations in their work with LupoToro. In particular, all contractors or contributors must warrant that any materials, content, or work they provide to LupoToro are original to them or fully licensed for LupoToro’s use, and that no such materials will infringe any intellectual property or proprietary rights of others. 

ii.              By submitting or providing any content or deliverables to LupoToro, the contractor represents and guarantees that they have obtained all necessary rights, permissions, consents, and licenses for LupoToro to use the materials in connection with our website or business, and that the materials do not violate any law or the rights of any person or entity. LupoToro reserves the right to request documentation or proof of such rights or licenses at any time for any third-party content supplied. Contributors and contractors are expected to cooperate promptly in providing evidence of ownership or permission for content they supply. In addition, LupoToro may require contractors to maintain appropriate insurance coverage, including (where relevant) insurance for intellectual property infringement liability, with policy limits sufficient to cover potential claims (for example, an errors & omissions or professional liability policy). 

iii.             Contractors must also comply with any professional licensing or regulatory requirements applicable to the services they provide and shall furnish copies of any such licenses or certifications upon request.

Indemnification by Contractors: 

i.                To further protect LupoToro, any third-party contractor, supplier, or contributor who provides materials or services to LupoToro agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold LupoToro harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from or related to the materials or services such third party provided. This means that if a contractor’s work, content, or actions lead to a legal claim against LupoToro (for example, an allegation that content supplied by the contractor infringes someone’s copyright or trademark, or a claim stemming from the contractor’s negligence or unlawful conduct), the contractor is financially responsible for all resulting costs, damages, and legal fees, to the fullest extent permitted by law. LupoToro’s acceptance of work from a contributor does not relieve the contributor of liability for issues arising from that work. 

ii.              LupoToro may, at its discretion, remove, suspend, or demand revisions to any third-party supplied content if we believe the content may violate these Terms, infringe rights, or expose LupoToro to risk. Contractors and contributors are independent parties and not employees or agents of LupoToro; as such, they shall not hold themselves out as having authority to bind LupoToro, and they bear sole responsibility for obeying all laws in connection with their work. Any failure by a contractor to meet the obligations in this clause may result in termination of the engagement and potential legal action by LupoToro to enforce its rights.

Additional information can be found within section 15 of these terms. Further information to the above is provided below; we continue with the following (we’ve made best efforts to avoid any overlap or repetition):

Mandatory Insurance & Licence Verification: Contractors, suppliers, or contributors must:

i.       Maintain insurance policies covering intellectual property and copyright infringement with limits of not less than US $1,000,000 (or local equivalent), issued by a reputable insurer, and Contractors, suppliers, or contributors must:

a.      Maintain insurance policies covering intellectual property and copyright infringement with limits of not less than US $1,000,000 (or local equivalent), issued by an insurer authorised in the jurisdiction where the contributor operates and recognised in the jurisdiction where LupoToro operates (failure to maintain such insurance does not limit the contractor's indemnity obligations);

b.     Ensure such policies expressly cover defence costs;

c.      When required and asked, provide documented proof of coverage prior to publication and annually upon renewal; and

d.     When required and asked, provide documented confirmation of ownership or valid licences for all materials supplied.

ii.     Ensure such policies cover defence costs and remain in effect for the duration of supply.

Claims Handling & Cooperation:

i.       The Indemnified Parties shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate losses and notify you promptly of any claim or proceeding.

ii.     You may assume control of the defence and settlement in good faith, provided you keep the Indemnified Parties informed.

iii.    The Indemnified Parties may participate in proceedings with their own counsel at their own cost.

Disclaimer on Third-Party Conduits:

LupoToro disclaims all responsibility and liability for inaccuracies, omissions, or misrepresentations in information, guarantees, or content provided by third-party conduits (including vendors, suppliers, contractors, consultants, or agents). Full liability rests with the third-party supplier of such information. All third-party content is provided strictly on an “as-is” basis without warranty as to accuracy or completeness. Third-party conduits shall indemnify and hold LupoToro harmless from any claim, loss, or liability arising out of their information or representations.

Director, Partner & Owner Indemnity:

i.                No Director, Partner, or Owner of LupoToro shall be personally liable for wrongful acts committed by employees, third parties, contractors, or conduits acting under LupoToro’s name.

ii.              To the fullest extent permitted by law, LupoToro Group shall indemnify its Directors, Partners, and Owners against claims, liabilities, damages, expenses, or judgments arising from the acts or omissions of employees in the performance of their duties.

iii.             This indemnity shall not extend to any liability arising from a Director’s, Partner’s, or Owner’s breach of statutory duties owed under applicable corporate, fiduciary, or regulatory law.

1.     No personal recourse by users: All claims by users or third parties must be brought solely against the company entity, not against any director, partner, or officer in their personal capacity.

Conditions of Indemnification:

o   The Indemnified Party must cooperate fully with the Company in defending any claim.

o   The Company retains sole control over the defence and settlement; however, the Indemnified Party may participate with counsel of its own choosing at its own cost.

Limitations & Exclusions:

i.       The Company’s aggregate liability under this indemnity shall not exceed the total compensation paid to the relevant employee(s) in the 12 months preceding the claim.

ii.     This indemnity shall not extend to the Indemnified Party’s own breach, wilful misconduct, gross negligence, or criminal acts.

Proportionate Liability:

i.        Where the Indemnified Parties are partly responsible for a claim, indemnification shall apply only to the extent of your contributory fault.

Survival & Severability:

i.        The provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination (including indemnities, limitations of liability, confidentiality obligations, intellectual property provisions, and disclaimers) shall continue to apply after termination or expiry. If any provision of this clause is found invalid or unenforceable, the remainder shall remain in full force and effect.

22. General Terms

These Terms shall be read and enforced in accordance with Section 20 (Governing Law and Jurisdiction). For the avoidance of doubt, jurisdiction shall rest exclusively with the courts of the United Arab Emirates or the courts of Ukraine, depending on the nature of the dispute as set out above. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts. No action or claim may be brought more than one (1) year after the cause of action arose, or the minimum statutory limitation period permitted by applicable law, whichever is longer. Should any part of our Legal Terms be held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed consistent with applicable law (see section 20 for clarifications) and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect. To the extent that any Content in our Website conflicts or is inconsistent with our Legal Terms, our Legal Terms shall take precedence. Our failure to enforce any provision of our Legal Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision nor of the right to enforce such provision. The rights of LupoToro Group under our Legal Terms shall survive the termination of our Legal Terms.

23. Investible Services or Work: General Terms

Any works presented to the LupoToro Group for investment, which are accepted as potential investible projects, are handled with care by the LupoToro Group. In accordance with our internal governing rules, any third-party investor(s), affiliates, or potential partners will first need to be vetted and verified in full (100 points of identification) prior to formally signing onto any project or investment or potential project or investment. The LupoToro Group hereby is indemnified from any responsibility should any potential outside party (investor, partner, or similar) are unable to be verified by the LupoToro Group, or if their identity, financing, or character is suspected or proven to be, false, misleading, or incorrect at any point. The LupoToro Group cannot guarantee or safeguard against third-party bad actors in business and therefore makes no promise to do so. Any third-party investor who may be known in any capacity to any official employee of LupoToro Group, and who may be engaged, is also required to be reverified or verified to the same extent of any third-party who does not fit that depiction. For more information, please contact legal@lupotoro.com.

24. General Social Media

LupoToro Group does not maintain official social media accounts, outside of an Instagram page (www.instagram.com/lupotoro); any other social media page claiming to be the LupoToro Group is not an authorised platform.

25. M&A and Licensing

The LupoToro Group, outside of any deal brokerage not requiring additional licences, will engage a third-party license holder accordingly to remain compliant prior to engaging in any deal or similar, including M&A, which requires appropriate licence holders. The LupoToro Group will not commence or engage in any works that require specific licences or guarantees, that it does not currently hold.

26. Media Releases (Press Releases)

All media releases published by LupoToro Group, including those available on the LupoToro.com website, are provided for general informational purposes only and do not constitute, and must not be relied upon as, legal, financial, investment, or other professional advice.

While LupoToro Group endeavours to ensure that information is accurate and current at the time of publication, no representations or warranties, express or implied, are made as to the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of any content. Any reliance placed on such information is strictly at the reader’s own risk. Readers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence and seek independent professional advice appropriate to their individual circumstances before making any decisions or taking any action.

LupoToro Group maintains original hard-copy records of its media releases (including releases which may no longer appear online for any reason). Certain releases published online may have been scanned, transcribed, or digitally reproduced from these originals. While reasonable efforts are made to ensure accuracy, there remains a risk of clerical, transcription, formatting, or typographical errors, including those arising from ongoing website updates or technical changes. Any such discrepancies are considered clerical in nature.

Where inconsistencies arise, the original hard-copy version shall prevail. LupoToro Group may, upon request, provide a scanned copy of an original media release for private comparison purposes only.

Notwithstanding our obligation to safeguard information, our people may escalate concerns under the Business Integrity Program and report conduct they believe to be in violation of the law to the government or regulators.

As our reliance on the internet and digital devices for business and personal use increases, so do opportunities for criminals seeking to steal information for financial gain. Cyber criminals and fraudsters are also becoming more savvy in their attempts to lure people into clicking suspicious links, downloading email attachments, or “connecting” on social media, which are often gateways to stealing sensitive information. Fraudsters may pose as legitimate organisations and create fraudulent websites, send emails, or make phone calls to solicit monetary payments. These scams are complex as the perpetrators often use genuine real employee names and replicate proprietary documentation.

LupoToro Group places great importance on cybersecurity and fraud prevention and has programs and technical controls in place to protect client accounts and information. To help improve your personal cybersecurity posture, we offer the following information about cyber threats and guidance to help protect you, your family, and your employer from falling victim to a cyber-attack or fraud scam.

Understanding Cybersecurity Threats

Any organisation or individual can be a target of cyber criminals. Here are some of the most common tactics and types of attacks employed by these actors:

1. Malicious Emails and Websites
   An unsuspecting e-mail from your bank or favourite retailer may secretly be an attempt to steal your identity or personal information. “Phishing” is a common tactic of cyber criminals that relies on “spoofed” e-mails or fraudulent websites (that look and feel like a well-known website) to collect personal and financial information or infect your machine with malware and viruses. Criminals use this stolen information to commit identity theft, credit card fraud and other crimes. Phishing can also occur by telephone and is becoming increasingly prevalent on social media and professional networking sites.
   
   When you click a malicious link, you may unknowingly install malware on your device. Malware refers to software that is intentionally designed to cause damage to a digital device. The most common form of malware is a virus, which is typically designed to give the criminals who create it some sort of access to the infected devices. Ransomware is another type of malware that is becoming increasingly prevalent. Ransomware accesses a victim’s files, locks and encrypts them and then demands the victim to pay a ransom to get them back. Ransomware is like the “digital kidnapping” of valuable data – from personal photos and memories to client information, financial records and intellectual property. Any individual or organisation could be a potential ransomware target.

2. Credential-based Attacks
   If you use the same username and password combination across different websites or services, you are particularly susceptible to this cybercrime technique where stolen account credentials are used to gain unauthorised access to a user’s various other online accounts. Credential stuffing attacks can often go unnoticed until funds are transferred.

3. Social Media Impersonation
   Criminals are increasingly using social media to build relationships with victims and ultimately steal data. Typically, these actors create fake accounts that appear (and claim) to be official accounts for an individual or organisation. Social media impersonation can also refer to the takeover of real accounts. These accounts can be used for phishing activities or causing an individual or a company reputational damage.

How You Can Protect Yourself

• Establish Secure Email Protocols: Emails continue to be a common entry point for hackers for performing online fraud. Do not click on links or open attachments from suspicious-looking emails. Expand your communication protocol to verify sensitive information, such as wire instructions, in person or by telephone. Generally, LupoToro Group will never send wiring instructions via email.

• Employ Password Management: Use lengthy, unique, and complex passwords — a great first step toward stopping bad actors. In fact, cybersecurity best practices suggest utilising long, memorable, and hard-to guess passwords such as a favourite song lyric. Avoid reusing passwords. Consider using a password application, such as LastPass, Password or Dashlane to help manage multiple complex passwords.

• Enable 2-Step Authentication Measures: Where available, use 2-factor authentication for account login (2FA) a.k.a. two-step verification or multi-factor authentication, commonly done via a PIN sent over text message or email and done most securely when a hardware token or phone application is used. At a minimum, enable this capability for your email, cellular provider, financial websites, password manager, cloud file storage and social media.

• Lock Down Social Media: Periodically review and adjust social media account settings to better control who can view the content posted. Hackers and social engineers frequently obtain critical information about a target from social media sources. When posting, always consider how that information can be used against you.

• Reduce Your Public Online Footprint: Periodically review all your online accounts. Reduce and/ or obfuscate personal information on the internet, remove unnecessary data, delete unused accounts, and avoid sharing or reusing passwords across accounts to minimise exposure.

• Protect Critical Data: Know where all your sensitive personal information is stored. Ensure that your sensitive data is always stored encrypted, to prevent someone from viewing it if your device gets lost or stolen. Also consider having a second encrypted backup of your sensitive data, whether on a flash drive stored in a safety deposit box or in the cloud using a reputable service such as Dropbox, iCloud, or Google Drive.

• Protect Your Personal Devices: Configure devices securely, considering what your risks would be if your device were stolen. Use a difficult to guess passcode as a backup to biometric security such as a thumb print or Face ID, and be sure your device is encrypted. Ensure that sensitive data, such as email, does not display on the lock screen.

• Update Your Software: Keep all of your software up to date. Apply software updates as soon as possible once they become available. Consider enabling automatic updates where available.

• Secure Wi-Fi Access: Be aware that using public Wi-Fi can expose your communications and devices to risk. If you must use public Wi-Fi, consider a virtual private network (VPN) solution to protect your communications — particularly when traveling and using public Wi-Fi at the airport or hotel. Alternatively, consider using a mobile hotspot, to protect sensitive information. At home, use a guest network for visitors.

• Freeze Credit Lines: Thwart identity theft and minimise fraud risk with a call to major credit-reporting bureaus Experian, TransUnion and Equifax, as well as Innovis, the unofficial fourth credit bureau, to set a security freeze on your credit reports. Considering signing up for an identity theft protection service such as LifeLock, Kroll, or Experian, which also offers credit monitoring. These suggestions apply to all family members.

Understanding Financial Fraud

Financial fraud occurs when someone takes money or other assets from you through deception or criminal activity. Here are some common examples of financial fraud:

1. Investment Scams
   Investment scams involve getting you or your business to agree to a financial transaction on the promise of a questionable financial opportunity. To perpetrate these scams, fraudsters typically present the opportunity by making contact by email, through a website, or by phone, often going through great lengths to gain the victim’s trust and even that they may be in a genuine relationship. These offers are typically low risk –high reward investments that typically sound “too good to be true”— because they are! To evaluate whether you are the target of an investment scam, you should consider:

1. How were you contacted? Any contact with LupoToro Group will come from an @lupotoro.com e-mail address (not from a free email account such as Yahoo, Gmail or any other domain outside of “@lupotoro.com”) and/or be found on the lupotoro.com website

2. Did I find the investment opportunity through a website not associated with LupoToro Group? E.g. a comparison website

3. Have I provided my personal information on a website not associated with LupoToro Group?

4. Have I been contacted by cold call or e-mail offering a low risk – high return investment opportunity?

5. Does the e-mail or documentation contain numerous spelling errors or misprints?

6. Have I provided photo ID or proof of address documentation? If you have, consider notifying the organisation that issued them and contacting your regional fraud prevention service

7. Was I pressured into making a money transfer to avoid missing an opportunity?

2. Identity Theft
   Identity theft occurs when someone steals your personal information and uses it without your permission. Examples of how your information could be used include opening bank accounts, taking out credit cards and loans or applying for government benefits and documents in your name.
   
   There is no definite rule on how to protect yourself from identity theft however, in addition to the cybersecurity good practices listed above, you can protect yourself by:

   1. Not sharing your personal data with anyone/any site you’re not familiar with.

   2. Safely disposing of unwanted documents such as utility bills or bank statements.

3. Business Email Compromise
   Business Email Compromise (BEC) scams are carried out when a cybercriminal compromises legitimate business or personal email accounts to intercept the communication between the victim and their business partner or to conduct unauthorised transfers of funds. Fraudsters commonly tend to intercept email wire instructions from investments firms, real estate agencies, and art dealers to then impersonate a trusted source.
   
   In addition to the cybersecurity good practices listed above, protect yourself by:

   1. Confirming the payment instructions with the recipient verbally, not by email

   2. Watching for irregularities when receiving transfer instructions or sudden change of payment information via email

If you receive a cold call or e-mail from LupoToro Group that you are uncertain about, or which you believe to be fraudulent, please forward it to legal@lupotoro.com. The LupoToro Group will investigate the e-mail and respond back to you. If you are a client of the firm, please notify your sales representative or investment professional, as well.

Specific Data Protection Code

The firm is subject to various privacy laws in the jurisdictions in which it operates. The definition of “personal data” can vary widely, but generally includes information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual (e.g., name and address, government identification number). The relevant data protection laws require the firm to be transparent about how it collects, uses, and discloses personal data. These laws also mandate security controls to protect personal data, and they contemplate taking appropriate steps in situations where personal data may have been improperly disclosed or subject to unauthorised access or misuse. Several laws grant individuals some degree of control over how the firm processes their personal data. Our people and agents are required to: comply with applicable data protection laws and the privacy policies of the businesses of which they are a part; keep personal data secure; and escalate incidents involving the potential misuse of personal data.

Anti-Bribery Code

We are committed to seeking and retaining business based on merit and the excellence of our performance. The firm does not tolerate bribery or corruption of or by our people, agents, vendors, or other business partners. Our people are strictly prohibited from improperly providing anything of value to anyone in order to obtain or retain business or any improper business advantage. This includes: public officials, candidates for office, employees, or officers of state-owned enterprises; employees or officers of counterparties; clients/customers or suppliers; any agent of the aforementioned parties; or any other person with whom the firm does or anticipates doing business. Our people are also prohibited from receiving or accepting bribes. “Anything of value” includes obvious improper payments, such as cash bribes or kickbacks, but also may include other direct or indirect benefits and advantages, such as inappropriate gifts, meals, travel, entertainment, charitable and political contributions, and offers of employment or internships. Some specific activities, such as interacting with government officials, can present increased bribery and corruption risk, and therefore, pre-approval is required before anything of value is provided to such “Restricted Recipients.” Restricted Recipients include employees or representatives of governments, government agencies, public international organisations (e.g., World Bank), state-owned enterprises, and public pension funds. The firm also prohibits facilitation payments, as well as the use of third parties or intermediaries/finders to route any inappropriate payments. In retaining any third parties, we must adhere to our processes and procedures concerning the diligence and oversight of third-party relationships. We must each remain vigilant about potential bribery concerns and escalate them immediately.

Anti-Money Laundering

The firm is committed to ensuring that its people and services are not used to facilitate the flow of, or conceal the origin of, criminally-derived funds or the financing of terrorism (collectively “money laundering”). Our dedication to integrity requires strict compliance with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations. To comply with these procedures, we must adhere to all “know your customer” requirements and be alert for, and promptly report, any unusual or potentially suspicious activity that could involve money laundering, terrorist financing, violations of law or regulation, or any other activity that has no apparent legitimate business purpose or is outside of the ordinary course of a client’s business activity.

Additional Policy: Unauthorised Third-Party Content and Online Representation

As digital activity continues to expand, there has been a growing trend of third parties leveraging the names of established companies, websites, blogs and online platforms to generate traffic. This is typically undertaken to improve their own visibility through search engine optimisation (SEO) techniques, including backlink generation, keyword targeting, and the aggregation or republication of existing content. In some cases, coordinated networks of websites may influence search rankings by creating artificial link structures and amplifying selected content, enabling lower-authority sources to gain increased visibility.

In addition, misleading or inaccurate content may spread rapidly online, particularly when it is repackaged and distributed across multiple platforms to maximise engagement. This environment can result in third-party publishers reproducing, reinterpreting or misrepresenting information in a manner that is not authorised, verified or endorsed by the original source.

Accordingly, any references to or publications involving LupoToro Group that are not expressly issued or confirmed through our official channels should not be considered accurate, authorised or endorsed by LupoToro Group. We encourage individuals and organisations to seek direct confirmation from us where clarification is required as a first port of call and as soon as possible. Our contact information can be found within our online policies, and contact can also be made directly through our official website contact page. We will respond to all requests for clarification on third party media publications, releases, stories and associated questions, in a timely manner.

LupoToro Group maintains a strict policy of not soliciting, arranging, publishing, or co-publishing any news articles, public media content, or interviews through third-party platforms or external outlets. This position reflects a fundamental principle of our operations: the protection of client confidentiality through the delivery of services grounded in discretion and full regulatory compliance.

LupoToro Group takes pride in its professional reputation and operates with discretion and regulatory integrity to benefit its clients, networks, and partners. It will continue to uphold its policies, operating procedures, and standards in full compliance.

The AEON Initiative may involve subject matter connected to financial systems, digital infrastructure, artificial intelligence, strategic technologies, cybersecurity, private capital markets, defence-linked analytics and cross-border operational environments, all of which may be subject to evolving laws, regulatory frameworks, licensing obligations, export controls, jurisdictional restrictions and governmental oversight. LupoToro Group makes no representation that any concept, framework, technology or initiative referenced within The AEON Initiative is legally permissible, operationally available or suitable for use in all jurisdictions or regulatory environments.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, LupoToro Group, together with its affiliates, representatives, directors, contractors, advisors and associated parties, shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, financial, strategic, commercial, technological or reputational loss, damage, liability or claim arising from reliance upon, interpretation of, use of or inability to use any information, statement, concept, analytical framework, technology reference or forward-looking commentary contained within The AEON Initiative.

Certain statements contained within The AEON Initiative may constitute forward-looking statements, conceptual observations, strategic commentary or exploratory projections relating to future technologies, infrastructure models, analytical systems, market developments or commercial environments. Such statements inherently involve significant uncertainty and are subject to technological, regulatory, geopolitical, operational, market and strategic risks which may cause actual outcomes to differ materially from any future-oriented statement or conceptual direction described.

LupoToro Group continues to actively explore, evaluate and expand its research into next-generation intelligence systems, strategic analytical environments, digital infrastructure models and evolving capital-market technologies under The AEON Initiative. The company reserves the unrestricted right to revise, redefine, expand, remove, suspend or discontinue any aspect of The AEON Initiative at any time, without notice or obligation. The AEON Initiative should therefore be understood as an evolving strategic and research-oriented framework rather than a definitive representation of completed products, guaranteed deliverables or future commercial outcomes.
