Terms of Use
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing the Groundz website (groundz.estate) or the Groundz investor portal (the "Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Groundz Property Development Ltd ("Groundz", "we", "us"), a company registered in Cyprus.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Platform. By registering, you confirm that you are 18 or older and legally capable of entering into a binding contract under the laws of your jurisdiction.
Access to investment features is restricted to qualified/accredited investors as defined under applicable law. Registering as an investor on the Platform does not, by itself, constitute an offer of investment or financial advice.
3. Investment Risk Disclaimer
Investing involves risk. The value of investments can go down as well as up. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. You may lose some or all of your invested capital.
Groundz is a real estate developer and asset manager. The Platform provides information about investment opportunities in real estate projects in Cyprus and other jurisdictions. Nothing on the Platform constitutes:
- Regulated investment advice under the Cyprus Investment Services and Activities Law (Law 87(I)/2017)
- An offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities
- A guarantee of returns, yields, or capital preservation
Before investing, you should seek independent financial and legal advice appropriate to your circumstances.
4. Account Registration
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately at support@groundz.estate if you suspect unauthorised access.
You agree to provide accurate and complete information when registering and to keep your account information up to date.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we believe pose a security risk to the Platform or other users.
5. KYC / AML Compliance
Groundz is obligated under Cyprus anti-money laundering legislation (Law 188(I)/2007, as amended) to verify the identity of investors before processing any investment commitments. By participating in investment opportunities on the Platform, you agree to:
- Provide accurate identity documents (passport/national ID)
- Submit proof of funds from legitimate, traceable sources
- Complete any enhanced due diligence we may request
We may decline or terminate any investment relationship where we cannot complete satisfactory due diligence.

We are not liable for: indirect, consequential, or special damages; loss of profits or investment returns; or any damages arising from reliance on information provided on the Platform.
9. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Cyprus. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Limassol, Cyprus.
