Basic Information for the investor
Warnings and risks
Investing in the projects published on the Urbanitae website may involve certain risks, such as the risk of total or partial loss of the invested capital, of not obtaining the expected monetary return, or of a lack of liquidity. Therefore, we warn investors to only invest an amount they are willing to lose and we suggest that they diversify their investments to minimize and mitigate potential risks.
The main risks can be the following:
Risk of total or partial loss of the invested capital
The investments made on the Urbanitae platform are not guaranteed, so there is a risk of losing the invested capital in whole or in part.
Risk of not obtaining the expected monetary return
The profitability and value of the investment will depend on the success of the project in which the investment is made. Therefore, if the project's planned objectives are not achieved, the investor may not obtain the expected return and, in negative scenarios, could even lose all or part of the money invested.
The investments made through the platform are not guaranteed. That is, neither the Urbanitae platform nor the project promoters guarantee the recovery of the investment or the obtaining of a minimum return. Nor is there any guarantee fund that guarantees the recovery of the investment or the obtaining of a minimum return.
Risk of lack of liquidity of the investment, resulting from the restrictions on free transferability inherent to the legal regime of limited liability companies
There is a warning of the risk of a lack of liquidity, caused by the difficulty or impossibility for an investor to transfer their shares after acquiring them. In this regard, the restrictions inherent to the free transferability of shares that are inherent to the legal regime of the limited liability companies that have issued them must be taken into account, as well as the restrictions that have been established in their bylaws or shareholder agreements.
Risk of dilution of the share in the LLC
Investments made through Urbanitae may be subject to future dilution. Dilution occurs when a company issues more shares. Dilution affects all existing partners who do not acquire any of the new shares. As a consequence, the partners' share is reduced.
Risk of not receiving dividends
Capital gains will be distributed among the investors in their capacity as partners, using the method that maximizes the return on their investment. The projects published on Urbanitae are real estate projects, and depending on their characteristics, they can be focused on the short or long term. Therefore, in some cases, dividends will not be received, but rather the capital gains at the liquidation of the limited liability company, without the obtaining of a certain return being guaranteed.
Risk of not being able to influence the management of the company
Investors will not be able to influence the management of the companies financed through the crowdfunding platform.

Organizational measures and means to minimize the risk of fraud and operational risk
Urbanitae has designed and implemented policies and procedures to minimize the risk of fraud in its operations. For these purposes, it has the necessary organizational measures and means to minimize such risks, including:
Urbanitae collects all necessary information before accepting the publication of projects. In this sense, Urbanitae has defined a procedure to analyze and assess the projects and their characteristics, as well as the promoters, cross-referencing data with both available public information and by requesting supporting documentation from third parties.
Urbanitae periodically reviews its procedures and systems to supervise the operations carried out on the platform and will cross-reference them with the information it receives from the promoters regarding the payments made for each project, in order to detect that the platform is not being used incorrectly or inappropriately by promoters, investors, or employees.
The management body of Urbanitae analyzes and evaluates the main operational risks it faces in the development of its activity in order to design and approve a plan for operational risk management, which will be reviewed periodically.
Urbanitae has business continuity plans to address the risks associated with possible failures that may occur.
Measures adopted to avoid conflicts of interest.
To avoid conflicts of interest, Urbanitae has an Internal Code of Conduct. If you want more information, you can consult it by clicking here:

The details of the Customer Service to resolve complaints and claims submitted by clients of URBANITAE REAL ESTATE PLATFORM S. L. are as follows:
Head of Customer Service: Ms. Rocío Abalo Nogueira.
Customer Service:
Email: sac.urbanitae@afincompliance.es
Customer Service Phone: +34 91 791 44 28
Postal address: C/ Marqués de Villamejor, 5, 28006, Madrid
URBANITAE REAL ESTATE PLATFORM S. L. is obliged to attend to and resolve complaints and claims submitted by its clients through any means to this service within a period of two months from their submission. After this period, the client may turn to the CNMV's Claims Service.
In any case, it is necessary to exhaust the entity's customer service department or service channel before filing complaints and claims with them, but if you do not agree with the response received, or if one month has passed without a response, there is a Claims Service of the National Securities Market Commission (attached to the CNMV's Investor Department), to which you can file a claim with the CNMV through the following means:
Electronic submission of your claim.
Form addressed to the CNMV Claims Service: Edison, 4, 28006 Madrid - Passeig de Gràcia, 19, 08007 Barcelona.
Additionally, there is an investor helpline: 900 535 015.
The CNMV examines the admissibility of the claim and communicates its admission or a request for correction of any issues necessary for its admission.
Once admitted, the claim is transferred to the claimed entity, for it to present its arguments within twenty-one calendar days. The entity must send these arguments to the claimant so that they can comment on them, also within a period of twenty-one calendar days.
The maximum period for resolving claims is ninety calendar days. If this is not possible, this circumstance must be reported, and the reasons that prevented it will be stated in the final report.
The final report contains clear, precise, and reasoned conclusions about the entity's conduct in the case presented. This report:
It is for informational purposes only and is not binding on the parties. However, the entity must inform the supervisor of the actions taken in relation to claims resolved with a report favorable to the claimant.
It is not considered an appealable administrative act, and therefore cannot be appealed before administrative or judicial bodies.
It does not include economic valuations of possible damages caused to users of financial services, as only courts of law can recognize such requests.
During the process, the interested parties may withdraw the claim, which would lead to the termination of the procedure for the claimant. They can also reach a settlement with the entities and end the file.
The CNMV examines the admissibility of the claim and communicates its admission or a request for correction of any issues necessary for its admission.
Mechanisms for investor protection in the event of the platform's cessation of activity.
In the event that Urbanitae's activity is expected to cease, this will be announced in a visible part of the website [60] days in advance. Likewise, it will be announced that no more projects will be published on the website, nor will new users be allowed to register. However, even if Urbanitae were to cease its activity, the contractual relationship between the Investor and the Promoter and/or partners would not be affected, which will continue in accordance with what is established in the particular conditions subscribed between the parties. These particular conditions will remain in force for the period established therein, and investors and promoters would have to relate directly.
Furthermore, your funds would not be affected in any case, as they are deposited in a segregated, secure, and independent account with the payment entity Lemonway or Mangopay, as the case may be. Both Mangopay and Lemonway manage the payments between all parties involved during the development of the projects.
