Subscription Agreements

What subscription agreements are and why they matter

A subscription agreement is the legal document that formalizes your investment. Here is what you need to know.

What Is a Subscription Agreement?

A subscription agreement is the legal contract between you (the investor) and the SPV (the investment vehicle). It formalizes the terms of your investment and outlines your rights and obligations as a participant in the SPV.

Every investment you make through Play Money has a subscription agreement. It is the official record of your investment.

When Do I Receive It?

Your subscription agreement becomes available after the funding close is settled. This means:

Payment received

Your payment has been received and confirmed.

Deal officially closes

The deal has officially closed its fundraising round.

Funds finalized

All investor funds have been finalized for the close.

Agreement available

The subscription agreement appears in the Documents section of your investment detail page.

The agreement may not be immediately available when your investment moves to "Funded" status — it becomes available specifically when the funding close is settled, which may happen shortly after.

What Does It Contain?

While the specifics vary by deal, a subscription agreement typically includes:

  • Investment amount and terms — The amount you invested, the SPV structure, and the deal terms
  • Your representations — Confirmations you made during the investment process, such as your accreditation status and acknowledgment of risks
  • Risk factors — A description of the risks, including the possibility of losing your entire investment
  • Fund terms — The fee structure (10% platform fee, 20% carry on most deals), distribution waterfall, and other financial terms

Do I Need to Sign It?

You accept the subscription agreement electronically when you confirm your investment during the investment flow. The checkboxes on the review screen include your acknowledgment and acceptance. No separate signing step is required.

Where to Find It

Your subscription agreement is available on your investment detail page in the Documents section. Navigate to your portfolio, click on the investment, and scroll to the Documents card.

Common Questions

Can I get a copy before investing? The terms are summarized on the deal page and review screen before you confirm. The formal document is generated after the funding close is settled. Contact support if you have questions about terms before investing.

What if I disagree with something in the agreement? The agreement reflects the terms you agreed to when you confirmed. If you have concerns, reach out to support before investing. Once confirmed, the terms are binding.

I do not see my subscription agreement yet. Where is it? Subscription agreements become available after the funding close is settled, not immediately when your investment is funded. Check back after settlement, or look for the "Investment finalized" event in your timeline.
