Signed a contract with Taramarc Capital Partners (Tara Azaroff) to get up to $1M of funding for our project. The contract was clearly discussed and stated that $1600 of upfront money would be returned if the company was not funded within 60 days. Several emails from her during that time stated she was talking to people, but each email said the same thing and the same names. Never once did she introduce me to any investors.
After 3 months, the contract was terminated and Tara was asked to return the $1600. 6 months have gone by and numerous attempts to contact her by phone and email have never been returned. She has been asked to return the $1600 and has not replied in over 4 months.
This is a blatant ripoff. Do not fall to this woman's false promises. She has since ripped off others that I have been in contact with. Here is the portion of the contract that clearly states that she has to return the money.
Retainer: In consideration of the Services to be provided by TMC, the Company agrees to pay TMC a retainer fee in an amount equal to $1,600.00 due prior to 2PM EST December 23, 2016 and payable in immediately available funds upon the Company’s execution hereof. The fee will reflect as a credited to the Company upon closing and the drawdown of funds.
If TMC’s Investor(s) contact does not close a funding deal with Autowraptec within 60 days of this fully executed agreement, TMC will return the $1600.00 to Company within 15 days of written and email notice. If Company and TMC’s Investor(s) are in discussion, the $1,600.00 will be credited to the company at closing or the refund will be provided within 15 days of the Company’s request for refund only if the Investors do not proceed and fund.
