iMowazi, a securities-based digital crowdfunding platform, is designed to connect Kuwaiti business with a diverse range of investors. While the platform provides access to various crowdfunding opportunities; however, it is important to note that iMowazi does not recommend or endorse any specific projects or investment opportunities presented on the platform. Furthermore, iMowazi does not provide support for the growth or development of the companies listed. 

Investors bear full responsibility for conducting their own due diligence including analyzing and assessing the risks associated with any crowdfunding opportunity made available through the platform. The inclusion of any company or project on the platform shall under no circumstances be considered an endorsement, recommendation, or guarantee by iMowazi of the project’s future investment performance. Users of the platform should be aware that all investments involve substantial risks, and past performance is not indicative or reliable indicator of future results. 

iMowazi treats all investors equally, ensuring no one receives preferential treatment. The annual investment amount for each investor varies based on their classification, which is determined by factors like income, net worth, and prior investment experience. This approach aims to protect investors and encourage responsible investing.
