As a result, potential investors must conduct their own investigation of the merits and risks of each investment opportunity, and negotiate the terms of their investment. All investors are strongly encouraged to seek legal and other professional counsel prior to making such investments.

Membership in the AoA does not constitute an offer by AoA to sell or the solicitation by AoA of an offer to buy any investment interest in the business ventures of applicant entrepreneurs. Any sale or purchase of an investment interest shall be a private transaction between the entrepreneur and the investor members without any participation by or remuneration to AoA.
