It appears to be a scrivener’s error. The document is otherwise very clear the investor is providing an investment Viroment for three years with the designated payment schedule providing an APR of 17% paid at the end of each calendar year (pro-rata for the first partial year). On a side note - Wefunder sends us an invoice for your payments about a month ahead of time. We wire them the funds and Wefunder distributes them back to your account. Also, we are regulated so you can be assured the payments will find their way to you fairly.
