You agree to notify Dalmore immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account or any other breach of security. You will not share your password, let anyone else access your Account, or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of your Account and the Site. You agree that you shall be solely responsible for any loss or consequences resulting from activities attributed to your Account, either authorized or unauthorized.

You agree that your Account will be entirely “self-directed,” by which we mean you are solely responsible for all purchases, orders, investment decisions and instructions placed in or through your Account. Although the Site may provide data, information or content provided by other parties relating to investment strategies and/or opportunities to buy and/or sell securities, you should not interpret any such content as tax, legal, financial, or investment advice or as a recommendation to invest in any offering posted on the Site. Any decision by you to invest must be solely your own decision based on your due diligence and analysis of the risks involved in a particular offering. It is made at your own risk. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for determining the suitability of an investment or strategy and that you accept the risks associated with your decisions, including the risk of loss of the entire amount that you invest. You are strongly advised to consult a licensed professional for any legal, tax, insurance, or investment advice; the Site does not and cannot provide any of those types of professional services, advice or analysis.

The Site permits authorized users to invest online. Site users are expressly prohibited from: (a) using the Site, or any services and or tools on it, if they are not able to form legally binding contracts, are under the age of 18 or are temporarily, or indefinitely, suspended from using the Site, services or any tools provided by it; (b) collecting other users’ personal information; and (c) posting false, inaccurate, misleading, defamatory, or libelous content. Dalmore, in its sole discretion, may refuse to allow any person or entity to use the Site and may change its eligibility criteria at any time. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time and for any reason including your misrepresentation of information or abuse of information. Use of this Site is void where prohibited by law and the right to access the Site is revoked in such jurisdictions. If you are using the Site on behalf of any entity, you represent that you are authorized to accept this Agreement on such entity’s behalf, and that such entity agrees to indemnify Dalmore for violations of this Agreement (as set forth below).

Investor Requirements

The Site will display securities offerings being conducted under Regulation Crowdfunding under the Securities Act.

Anyone can invest in offerings under Regulation Crowdfunding. Because of the risks involved with this type of investing, however, you are limited in how much you can invest during any 12- month period in these transactions. The limitation on how much you can invest depends on your net worth and annual income. Accredited investors have no limit on how much they can invest.

Investment opportunities on the Site are intended only for investors who are able to bear the potential loss of the entire amount of their investment. All securities listed here are being offered by, and all information included on this site is the responsibility of, the applicable issuer of such securities. Dalmore has not taken any steps to verify the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information. Neither Dalmore nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates or representatives makes any warranty, express or implied, of any kind whatsoever related to the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information on this Site or the use of information on this Site. Investors are responsible for conducting, and may rely only upon, any legal, accounting or due diligence review they decide is appropriate. Investment products are not FDIC insured, may lose value, and are not guaranteed.

Issuer Requirements

Federal securities law requires securities offered or sold in the US to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or be exempt from such registration. Offerings hosted on this Site may be done pursuant to a registration, or be done under an exemption from registration, such as Regulation Crowdfunding.

Risks of Investing in Securities Offered; Restrictions on Resale or Transfer of the Securities

The securities offered on the Site are only suitable for prospective investors who are familiar with and willing to accept the high risks associated with private investments, including the risk of complete loss of your investment. Securities sold through the Site are not publicly traded and, therefore, are illiquid unless registered with the SEC. Securities will be subject to restrictions on resale or transfer including holding period requirements. Investing in private placements requires high risk tolerance, low liquidity need, and long-term commitments. Users must be able to afford to lose their entire investment. Investment products are not FDIC insured, may lose value, and there is no bank guarantee.

The securities being offered have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance, among other exemptions, on the exemptive provisions of the Securities Act. No governmental agency has reviewed the offerings posted on this Site and no state or federal agency has passed upon either the adequacy of the disclosure contained herein or the fairness of the terms of any offering. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Because these securities are subject to legal restrictions on transfer and resale, investors should not assume they will be able to resell their securities. You will be limited in your ability to resell your investment for the first year and may need to hold your investment for an indefinite period of time. Unlike investing in companies listed on a stock exchange where you can quickly and easily trade securities on a market, you may have to locate an interested buyer when you do seek to resell your crowdfunded investment.

Compensation to Dalmore

Dalmore is a SEC and FINRA registered broker-dealer and receives compensation calculated by reference to the purchase or sale of securities through the Site for services provided to offerings under Regulation Crowdfunding.

Communication Channel Guidelines

Offerings under Regulation Crowdfunding are required to have online communication channels that are monitored by Dalmore. These communication channels are for the purpose of prospective investors engaging in dialog with each other and the issuer in any particular offering. Any individual who promoted an offering in exchange for compensation, or who is a founder or an employee of an issuer must disclose the fact that he or she is engaging in promotional activities on behalf of the issuer. Issuers are encouraged to participate in the communication channels so long as comments adhere to the following guidelines and do not violate the communication requirements as outlined in Regulation Crowdfunding. The following types of comments are not permitted and will be removed:
