Scope: Jurisdictional eligibility summary for access to investor materials. Informational only.
1. Scope and posture
- dCorps is based in the British Virgin Islands (BVI).
- Access to investor materials is restricted to accredited or professional investors as defined by applicable law.
- This summary is not legal, tax, or investment advice.
- Criteria may change; verification is required.
2. Why accreditation exists
- Accreditation gates help ensure investor materials are shared only with eligible recipients.
- They reduce legal and regulatory risk for dCorps and for recipients who must follow local rules.
- The gate is a compliance safeguard only; it is not a promise of access or allocation.
3. Verification posture (applies everywhere)
- We may require documentation or third-party confirmation.
- Eligibility is not guaranteed; requests may be declined in any jurisdiction.
- Any access decision is a compliance safeguard, not a promise of availability.
4. Access process (high-level)
- Contact dCorps through the standard contact channel and request investor access.
- Provide your jurisdiction and confirmation of accredited or professional investor status.
- Provide supporting documents or a professional letter if required by local rules.
- Requests are reviewed; approval may be granted or denied.
- If approved, access is provisioned to the investor portal.
