If you are an Issuer, the terms set forth in this section apply to your access to and use of our Platform. These terms are in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Agreements.
4.1. Registration. Your registration will not be automatically accepted, and you will be required to provide substantial documentation and answers to questions to allow us to properly vet you and your Offering to ensure you are qualified to make an Offering on our Platform and that your Offering meets the requirements for a relevant regulation offering.
4.2. Suspension or Termination. We may deny your application for any or no reason, in our sole discretion, and may at any time terminate your registration and any active Offering if we have reason to believe that you or the Offering do not comply with, or are not in compliance with, the requirements for a relevant regulation offering.
4.3. Representations and Warranties. As an Issuer, you represent and warrant that:
(a) You, all of your affiliated entities and individuals, and your Offering(s) do and will comply with all laws, regulations, rules, and guidance related to Relevant regulation and applicable governing bodies; and

5. ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR INVESTORS
If you are an Investor, the terms set forth in this section apply to your access to and use of our Platform. These terms are in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Agreements.
5.1. Registration. You must provide registration information to receive access to the ability to make an investment in any of the Offerings on our Platform. Any investment you attempt to make will not be automatically accepted and we will utilize a third party to verify your identity and any concerns we, or our affiliates, may have with allowing you to make any investments or commitments on our Platform for any or all Offerings. We may reject your registration or any commitment or investment you attempt to make at our sole discretion.
5.2. Investment Process. This Platform does not facilitate anything beyond the introduction of the Investor and the Issuer. The process for making an investment in a particular Offering on our Platform is performed directly between the Investor and the Issuer.
5.3. Information and Timelines About Offerings.
(a) Except as provided in these Terms, each Offering will remain open as long as the Issuer still make the Offerings available.
(b) In the event an Issuer reaches its published goal for an Offering before the Issuer’s target closing date, the Issuer may decide to close the Offering early
5.4. Risks. There are risks associated with investing. As it relates to investments made through or in connection with our Platform:
(a) An investment in any Offering through our Platform carries the risk that you could lose some or all of your investment and you may not be able to transfer your interest when you want to due to transfer restrictions applicable to your interest.
(b) Issuers may offer equity interest, either preferred or common, which each carry their own risks. For preferred interests, you may be able to obtain a promise to receive payments before holders of common interest, but there may never be any cash available by the Issuer to pay you anything anyway and preferred interests typically restrict you from any participation in the operations and management or voting of the Issuer. Common equity will likely mean that you will receive payments of profit, if any such payments are made, concurrently with the other owners, including the creators of the project, which could result in receiving a lower return than you would like, and still runs the risk of complete loss, as all investments do. Any equity investment could carry with it a risk of dilution if the Issuer later determines that more funds are needed and your return may be reduced by such dilution, or if you had a vote, your relative influence may be reduced.
(c) Other risks may apply to each Offering. Please review the Offering specific details for a disclosure of such risks by the Issuer.
(d) After a successful closing of an Offering, the Issuer may make available its annual reports, which include financial statements, and disclosures, either on its own site or on our Platform and under some situations, the Issuer may be allowed to cease making annual filings available to Investors. This means that you may or may not have current information available regarding the performance and condition of the Issuer and your interest.
5.5. Investment Limitations. As an Investor, you are limited in the amount you are allowed to invest according to the jurisdiction you’re in, no matter what portals, including, but not limited to, our Platform, you use to make the investments.
5.6. Our Rights to Provide Information. As an Investor, you grant us and the Issuer the right to display your first name, state of residence, and amount invested for promotional purposes during the term of the Offering, or, if granted as a perk of your investment, at the time and in the place as explained in the perk description. Despite granting this right, if you do not want us or the Issuer to publicly disclose your information, we will provide you the ability to indicate your wishes in the investment funnel.
5.7. Our Compensation. We may receive compensation from the Issuer for any successfully closed Offering in a combination of the securities in the Offering and cash, each paid at the time of closing of the Offering.
5.8. No Promotion. You may not promote an Issuer’s Offering for compensation of any kind without disclosing clearly that you are affiliated with the Issuer and that your communications are promotional activities.
5.9. Retention of Data, Communications, and Interactions. All data submitted by you to us, and communications and interactions with us, either on or through the Platform or otherwise, are maintained and you consent to this information being retained, including any personal information contained in those communications and interactions.
5.10. Additional Information Requests. Your communication may not include spam messages, advertisements, repetitive requests for the same information that you or other investors have already requested, posting of irrelevant information or questions not related to the Offering, or for any other reason not designed to provide or discover relevant information related to the offering or a potential investment in the Offering.

Such notification must contain the following:
(a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
(b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site;
(c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material;
(d) information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address;

We will forward any complete counter-notification to the person who provided the initial DMCA notice. The copyright owner(s) may elect to file a lawsuit against you for copyright infringement. If we do not receive notice that such a lawsuit has been filed within ten (10) business days after we provide notice of your counter-notification, we may, but are not obligated to, restore Your Content and other materials. Until that time, Your Content and other materials will remain removed.
13.4. Repeat Infringers. Without limiting anything else in the Agreements, we will terminate your account if you receive three (3) DMCA Takedown Actions. A “DMCA Takedown Action” occurs each time Your Content or other materials are removed due to a DMCA notice. We may group multiple DMCA notices received in a short period of time as a single DMCA Takedown Action. We may remove a DMCA Takedown Action in appropriate circumstances, such as where: (1) the material is restored due to a DMCA counter-notification; or (2) the party who provided the DMCA notice withdraws their complaint.
