1. About us

2. Our services

Yakan partners with small and medium businesses that own assets to help increase the size of their asset base and grow revenue. The specific terms of any partnership, financing, or investment arrangement will be set out in a separate written agreement between Wakan Holding Limited (trading as Yakan) and the relevant business, which will take precedence over these Terms in the event of any conflict. Nothing on our website constitutes a binding offer of financing or investment, and any such offer is subject to due diligence, credit assessment, and formal documentation.

3. Eligibility

Our services are intended for businesses and their authorised representatives, not consumers. By using our website or services, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old, have authority to act on behalf of the business you represent (where applicable), and will provide accurate and complete information to us.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Wakan Holding Limited shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss or damage arising out of or in connection with your use of our website or services. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded, including liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

9. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold Wakan Holding Limited harmless from any claims, losses, or expenses arising from your breach of these Terms or misuse of our website or services.

Any non-public business or financial information shared with us in connection with a potential or actual partnership will be treated as confidential and used solely for the purpose of evaluating and, where applicable, performing that partnership, subject to any separate confidentiality or partnership agreement entered into between the parties.

11. Termination

We may suspend or restrict your access to our website at any time, without notice, where we reasonably consider this necessary to protect our business, users, or legal position. Termination of any specific partnership or financing arrangement will be governed by the applicable written agreement for that arrangement.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of our website or services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised.
