Crowdigy Terms & Conditions

Crowdigy connects investors and companies

These Crowdigy Terms and Conditions contain three parts. Part A, Terms of Service governs the general terms of service for the Site and the Services; Part B, Investor Agreement governs the use of the Site by Investors and investments in Listings hosted on the Site; and Part C, Company Agreement governs certain matters applicable to Companies using the Site and/or Services.

A. Terms of Service

Crowdigy LLC and it's affiliates (together, "Crowdigy," "we," "us," "our" or the "Company") operate the website located at Crowdigy.com and the Crowdigy Android and iOS applications (the "Site"). Our mission is to connect entrepreneurs ("Founders") who are working on innovative new businesses ("Companies") with people who may be able to provide financing, advice and other support to those Company ("Investors"). Among other things, Crowdigy may offer in the future web-based tools, including gift cards for investing in early-stage companies ("Crowdigy Gift Cards") and Crowdigy Cash (see "Crowdigy Cash" below), to facilitate fundraising by Founders for their Companies. Crowdigy also provides supplementary materials that educate both Founders and Investors about the nature of entrepreneurship, the process and perils of investing in Company companies and "crowdfunding" – the funding of a project or venture by raising small amounts of money from a large number of people. The services, features, content or applications that may be offered from time to time by Crowdigy in connection with the Site and/or Crowdigy's business, including Crowdigy Cash are collectively referred to as the "Services."

1. Acceptance of the Terms of Service; Changes

By accessing the Site and/or using the Services, you agree to be bound by all of the provisions of the Terms of Service (the "TOS"). IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT AND AGREE TO ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE TOS, OR IF YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE, YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO ACCESS THE SITE OR USE THE SERVICES.

If you are not a resident of the European Union, this TOS provides that all disputes between you and Crowdigy will be resolved by BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under this contract, except for matters that may be taken to small claims court. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury, and your claims cannot be brought as a class action. Please review Section 15.3 ("Dispute Resolution") for the details regarding your agreement to arbitrate any disputes with Crowdigy.

As used in the TOS, the terms "you" and "your" mean each individual or entity that accesses, browses or uses the Site and/or the Services in any manner. If you are accessing the Site and/or using the Services on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant to Crowdigy that you have the authority to bind the entity you represent to the TOS. Your agreement to this TOS will be treated as the agreement of the entity you represent.

Crowdigy may modify the TOS or add or remove terms at any time, and each such modification, addition or deletion will be effective immediately upon posting on the Site. Your use of the Site or the Services following any such posted modification, addition or deletion constitutes your agreement to be bound by and your acceptance of the TOS as so modified. It is therefore important that you review the TOS regularly. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE TERMS OF THE MODIFIED TOS, YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO ACCESS THE SITE AND/OR USE THE SERVICES, AND YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE DOING SO.

2. Privacy Policy; Additional Terms.

Your access to and/or use of certain portions of the Site and certain of the Services will require you to accept terms and conditions applicable to such Services which are in addition to the terms of the TOS and will be presented to you for your acceptance when you sign up for such Services (the "Additional Terms"). For Investors, "Additional Terms" includes the Investor Agreement. For Founders and Companies, "Additional Terms" includes the Company Agreement. The TOS, the Privacy Policy and the Additional Terms (collectively, the "User Agreements") set forth the terms and conditions that apply to your use of the Site and the Services. To the extent there is any conflict between the TOS and any Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will prevail.

3. Eligibility.

Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of any User Agreement, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of this TOS. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS TOS, YOU AND CROWDIGY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

15.3.2. Exceptions. Despite the provisions of Section 15.3.1, nothing in any User Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim; or (e) pursue any available remedies under federal or state securities law. 

15.3.3 Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and Crowdigy will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act, and governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this TOS, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Crowdigy.

15.3.4 Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if such other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail ("Notice"). Crowdigy's address for Notice is: Crowdigy LLC, 811 W. Slaughter Ln, #1309, Austin, TX 78748. The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Crowdigy may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Crowdigy must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.

15.3.5. Fees. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Travis County, Texas, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Crowdigy for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.

15.3.6 No Class Actions. YOU AND Crowdigy AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Crowdigy agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

15.3.7 Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Crowdigy makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to Crowdigy's address for Notice, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Crowdigy's address for Notice, in which case your account with Crowdigy will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.

15.3.8. Enforceability. If Section 15.3.6 is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 15.3 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 15.3 will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 15.1 will govern any action arising out of or related to any User Agreement.

16. Indemnity.

You agree to defend Crowdigy, its subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors and assignees and their respective officers, directors, managers, stockholders, members, agents, partners and employees (the "Crowdigy Indemnitees"), from and against any and all claims, actions, suits, demands or other proceedings brought by or on behalf of any third party, and to indemnify and hold the Crowdigy Indemnitees harmless against any losses, liabilities and other damages (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees), in any case arising out of or related to (i) your access to and/or use of the Site and the Services, including, without limitation, your use of the Site and the Services in connection with any transaction in securities; (ii) a violation or breach by you, or any user of your account, of any provision of the TOS or of any Additional Terms, including, without limitation, a breach of any of the representations, warranties or agreements set forth in the TOS and the Additional Terms; and/or (iii) any content that you post on or through the Site or the Services. This defense and indemnification obligation will survive following the termination of your use of the Site and the Services.

17. Other Terms.

Crowdigy has the right to assign the User Agreements and/or its rights thereunder, in whole or in part, to any third party. You do not have the right to assign the User Agreements, except if and to the extent explicitly permitted in the Additional Terms. If we assign these Terms and your rights materially change, we will notify you and you will have the right to cancel your agreement to these Terms by cancelling your account. The failure of Crowdigy to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the User Agreements shall not operate as a waiver by Crowdigy of such right or provision. The section titles in the User Agreements are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The User Agreements operates to the fullest extent permissible by law. If any provision of the User Agreements are held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, such provision (i) is deemed severable from the User Agreements and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions which shall remain in full force and effect and (ii) shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary to comply with the applicable law. Crowdigy reserves all rights in and to the Site, including the Services and the other content posted thereon, unless otherwise expressly provided by this TOS or the Additional Terms. Crowdigy reserves the right to modify or discontinue any aspect of the Services at any time without prior notice and without any liability to you.

We reserve the right to amend provisions of these Terms at any time, subject to the conditions set out below, if such amendment is reasonable for you, taking into account our interests, and provided that it does not change our main obligations under the contract to your disadvantage. This applies in particular if we have an amendment reason as outlined below.

A reason for the amendment exists:

  • if the change is merely advantageous for you;

  • if the change is purely technical or procedural, unless it has a material effect on you;

  • to the extent that we are obliged to bring these Terms into conformity with applicable law, in particular if the applicable legal situation changes or we are obliged to do so by a court judgment or a decision of the authorities against us; or

  • to the extent that we introduce additional services, services or service elements that require a service description in these Terms.

If we make changes to these Terms, we will notify you by email and by posting a notice to the Services prior to the effective date of the changes. We will also indicate at the top of these Terms the date that revisions were last made. Changes will be deemed approved if you do not object to them electronically within 4 weeks of the announcement of the respective change, provided that in the announcement, we will inform you that the amended Terms shall be deemed to have been accepted by you if you do not object to the new Terms within the aforesaid period after receipt of the e-mail.

Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable for any delay or failure in performance to the extent the delay or failure is caused by events beyond the party’s reasonable control, including, a significant failure of the Internet, fire, flood, acts of God, explosion, war or the engagement of hostilities, acts of terror, coup, strike, embargo, labor dispute, pandemic, government requirement, civil disturbances, or civil or military authority.

20.Your Responsibilities as an Investor.

You are a self-directed investor who is individually responsible for determining the suitability of your investment decisions. Crowdigy is not responsible for the investment decisions made by you or on your behalf. Crowdigy is not responsible for the strategies, actions or inactions taken with respect to your Crowdigy Investments. Crowdigy is not responsible for the gains or losses you incur. The employees, agents and representatives of Crowdigy are not authorized to give you investment advice, and any instructions you receive from Crowdigy with respect to Crowdigy Investments will be limited to technical or administrative guidance. 

You assume individual responsibility for determining the suitability of all investment decisions and strategies you make or implement.

21. Contacting Crowdigy; Reporting of Violations.

You may contact Crowdigy at team@crowdigy.com. Please report any misuse of the Site or the Services or any violation of the TOS by sending an email to Crowdigy at team@crowdigy.com.

22. Crowdigy VIP Program

Crowdigy VIP is a program offered by Crowdigy LLC that allows users of Crowdigy to upgrade their user account to VIP status for additional benefits and perks, which include: ~10% better terms on investments, exclusive investment deals, 20% discount on investors fees, priority on the oversubscription waitlist, and dedicated support from our investors concierge team. Please note that not every offering will offer VIP terms and that companies raising on Crowdigy are not required to participate in the Crowdigy VIP Program.

Regarding the VIP terms, most companies opt to give VIP investors better terms. For example, if the company set a valuation of $30M pre-money for its raise, it might decide to offer a lower $27M valuation to Crowdigy VIP investors, representing a discount of 10% from the standard valuation. The decision to allocate a portion of their raise to Crowdigy VIP members and grant them better terms ultimately rests with the company.

Crowdigy VIP users also have access to exclusive deals. As widely known, companies raising on Crowdigy have the right to accept whoever they want in their listings. However, companies that agree to participate in the Crowdigy VIP Program will allocate a certain portion of their raise to Crowdigy VIP investors ensuring those investors who invest within the allocation that their investment will not be cancelled. Therefore, non-participation in the Crowdigy VIP Program may result in the company conducting the offering retaining the discretion to cancel or decline investments made by users who are not enrolled in the VIP Program.

2. AGREEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO THE SITE AND ALL LISTINGS

2.1 GENERAL ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

  • You understand and acknowledge that Crowdigy is not responsible for any content on the Site provided by any third parties, including Companies, and any service providers or other third parties, or any content provided to you in connection with your use of the Site even if that information is distributed to you on behalf of a third party by Crowdigy, and is not liable for any type of loss or damage associated with your use of the Site.

  • You acknowledge that nothing on the Site constitutes an endorsement, a recommendation to buy securities or any other type of investment advice to you by Crowdigy, and any investment risk is solely your own. You are not a client of Crowdigy or any of its affiliates.

  • You acknowledge that Crowdigy does not independently verify information regarding Companies (although Crowdigy Portal and Crowdigy EU do conduct some diligence on information provided by Companies as required by Reg CF and ECSP) or endorse any Company for direct or indirect investment, and that information on the Site has been prepared without reference to any particular Member’s investment requirements or financial situation. You agree to abide by this and other agreements between you and Crowdigy and service providers that govern or relate to your use of the Site or the services available on the Site.

  • You understand that the Site links to different types of Listings for investment, each of which operate under different regulatory regimes and requirements, and that each type of Listings may have its own unique risks and levels of regulatory involvement.

2.2 CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ASSOCIATED WITH ALL LISTINGS

2.2.1 General

The Site includes Listings showcased and linked to by Crowdigy LLC, Crowdigy Advisors and Crowdigy LLC, Crowdigy Portal, Crowdigy EU, and Third Party Funding Portals. Each of these parties has divergent interests and duties or responsibilities with respect to Members that invest in the Listings they sponsor. Crowdigy Advisors and Crowdigy LLC, Crowdigy LLC, Crowdigy Portal, and Crowdigy EU share members, managers, officers and/or employees that may perform services for various Listings simultaneously. Each of these persons may take actions in the performance of their duties to their other clients that could differ from the timing and nature of action taken with respect to you or a Company in which you invest.

2.2.2 Reserved.

 

2.2.3 Different Fee Structures Associated with Different Listings

Crowdigy LLC, Crowdigy Advisors and Crowdigy LLC, Crowdigy Portal, and Crowdigy EU will devote the time reasonably required to facilitate their respective features of Listings. However, because Crowdigy LLC, Crowdigy Advisors and Crowdigy LLC, Crowdigy Portal, and Crowdigy EU each charge different fees with respect to their featured Listings, and they each share officers and employees, this may create an incentive for their shared employees to favor and spend more time and effort with respect to Listings that may result in higher fees.

2.3 RISKS GENERALLY ASSOCIATED WITH ALL LISTINGS

You should consult your own legal, tax and financial advisers regarding the suitability, desirability and appropriateness of purchasing interests through an Offering. You should also carefully consider the following risks prior to investing through an Offering: 

2.3.1 Significant Risk of Loss; Not a Complete Investment Program

An investment in a Company involves significant risks, only some of which are described in this Agreement, and is suitable only for investors who have limited need for liquidity in their investment, who can afford the potential loss of their investment and who otherwise meet the conditions for eligibility set forth in this Agreement. A direct or indirect investment in a Company is not intended as a complete or diversified investment program and should represent only a small portion of a potential investor’s investment portfolio. 

2.3.2 Companies Are Early Stage Venture Companies with High Risk of Failure

Companies are early stage venture companies. Venture investments involve a high degree of risk and many or most venture company investments lose money and fail at a particularly high rate. You may ultimately receive cash, securities, or a combination of cash and securities (and in some cases nothing at all). If you receive securities, the securities may not be publicly traded, and may not have any significant value. 

2.3.3 Lack of Operational Record

Each Company will have limited or no operational record. 

2.3.4 Limitation on Liability; Indemnification

This Agreement, including the Terms of Service and the Subscription Agreement, limit the liability of Crowdigy, and provide for indemnification in certain circumstances. 

2.4 PRIVACY

Crowdigy maintains a Privacy Policy, which is available on the Site and incorporated into this Agreement.

2.5 USE OF NAME

You consent to the disclosure by Crowdigy of your name (or, if you are acting on behalf of a company or entity, the name of such entity) on the Site.

3.6 RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH REG D LISTINGS 

You should consult your own legal, tax and financial advisers regarding the suitability, desirability and appropriateness of purchasing interests in an Company. You should also carefully consider the following risks prior to investing in any Company: 

3.6.1 General

An investment in a Company involves significant risks, only some of which are described in this Agreement, and is suitable only for sophisticated investors who have limited need for liquidity in their investment, who can afford the potential loss of their investment and who meet the conditions for eligibility set forth in this Agreement. An investment in a Company is not intended as a complete investment program. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any Company will be met. Companies invest in early stage venture companies. Venture investments involve a high degree of risk and many or most venture company investments lose money. You may ultimately receive cash, securities, or a combination of cash and securities (and in some cases nothing at all). If you receive securities, the securities may not be publicly traded, and may not have any significant value. 

3.6.2 No Guarantee of Investment Returns

Neither Crowdigy Advisors and Crowdigy LLC nor any of its affiliates guarantee the future performance or financial results of any Company or any Fund[

, and an investment in a Company through a Company or Fund may result in a gain or loss upon termination or liquidation of your investment.

3.6.3 Limited Financial Information About Companies

You may not receive audited financial statements with respect to any Company or Fund and you will receive only limited information about each such Company or Fund and the Company to which that Company or Fund relates. You may not receive ongoing information about the value or valuation of the Company or Fund, the Company or the securities of the Company held by the Company or Fund, and you understand and agree that any such valuation information would in any event be of limited reliability and use.

3.6.4 Privately-Offered Security Risk

Investing in privately offered securities entails a significant degree of risk and, therefore, should be undertaken only by investors capable of evaluating and bearing those risks. Venture company investments, such as those in the Companies, involve a high degree of risk and many or most venture company investments lose money. 

3.6.5 Limited Market for Interests in Companies and Company Securities

The interests in Companies have not been registered under the 1933 Act or any other law of the United States, or under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction. Therefore, interests in Companies cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are so registered or an exemption from registration is available. A limited market exists for the sale of a Company's securities, and the transferability of those securities is generally restricted. In the event that Crowdigy Advisors and Crowdigy LLC determines to distribute Company securities to investors in a Company or Fund, there may be no market through which the Company securities may be sold, and even if there were such a market, the transfer of Company securities may be subject to significant legal and contractual restrictions, including Federal and state securities laws and regulations. Neither Crowdigy Advisors and Crowdigy LLC nor any of its affiliates, is under any obligation to register interests in a Company or Fund on your behalf or to assist you in complying with an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act. 

In addition, if a distribution of Company securities to investors in a Company or Fund is made prior to the existence of a public market for such securities, the securities distributed would not be registered under Federal securities laws or qualified under any state securities law. Any sale would be required to be made in reliance upon exemptions under those laws. Unless a Company’s securities are registered with the SEC and any required state authorities, or an appropriate exemption from registration is available, if you receive Company Securities in a distribution from a Company or Fund, you may be unable to liquidate those securities, even though your personal financial condition may dictate such liquidation. Moreover, the resale of any Company securities will generally be subject to Section 4(a)(7) of the 1933 Act or Rule 144 of the 1933 Act. If you intend to sell Company securities distributed to you by a Company or Fund, you may be required to aggregate your sales with sales made by other investors for some period of time following the distribution, which may restrict your ability to liquidate the Company securities. Therefore, if you require liquidity in your investment, you should not invest in a Company or Fund. 

3.6.6 Restrictions on Transfer

Interests in Companies generally cannot be traded and cannot be redeemed. Your ability to transfer interests in Companies may be subject to contractual, legal and regulatory restrictions. There is a possibility that your interest in a Company or Fund may only be transferred with the prior written authorization of Brokers, which may be withheld in their absolute discretion. You may not be able to transfer your interests in a Company or Fund at the time or at the price you seek to make a transfer of your interests. You typically must hold your interest in a Company or Fund until a liquidation event has occurred.

3.6.7 No Control Over Management of Companies 

You will not have any right to manage, influence or control the management or operations of Companies. In particular, you will have limited voting rights associated with your interests in a Company or Fund, but in any event will not have voting powers to direct the management of the Company. Further, Brokers typically will not obtain representation on the board of directors or have any control over the management of any Company. The success of any Company or Fund or Company investment depends on the ability and success of the management of the Company, in addition to economic and market factors.

As investment manager of each Company or Fund, Fund or Company managers make all investment and other decisions for each Company or Fund, including (without limitation) whether and on what terms to dispose of Company securities held by a Company or Fund, whether to exercise any conversion, warrant or similar rights on any Company securities held by a Company or Fund, and whether and how to vote on any proxy or other voting matters related to the Company. Except as required by law, you have no right to remove Brokers or Fund managers from its role with respect to a Company or Fund. You should not invest in a Company or Fund unless you are willing to entrust all aspects of the management of the Company or Fund to others. Any determination as to whether to distribute securities, or sell the securities and distribute cash, may be made by the Fund managers or Brokers, in their sole discretion. 

Other Company or Fund managers may, in their sole discretion, determine whether to offer follow-on and other related investment opportunities in a Company to some or all of the investors in a Company or Fund that previously invested in securities of that Company, or to investors who did not invest in that prior Company or Fund.

3.6.8 No Control Over Company Future Valuation

Valuations may fluctuate considerably and the price paid for Company securities by a Company or Fund may bear limited or no relationship to future valuations of the Company’s securities in any market that may develop for such securities, whether private or public.

3.6.9 Investor Expenses That May Not Be Incurred through Other Listings and/or Direct Purchases of a Company Securities

In general, by purchasing interests in Companies through the links in the Site, investors will may be charged certain fees that they may not have been charged if making such investments without the use of the links in the Site. Crowdigy LLC and it’s affiliates or subsidiaries do not make any commission or fees off any expenses or purchases by Investors through links on Site.

3.6.10 Expenses Charged to a Company or Fund

Each Company or Fund may allocate certain extraordinary fees and expenses under the terms of its governing documents. Such fees and expenses will be allocated among the investors in a Company or Fund in accordance with terms of the governing documents. Such fees or expenses may reduce, perhaps materially, your return on investment.

3.6.11 Limited Information About Companies

Due to the nature of private companies, there may be limited information—financial, operating or otherwise—regarding each Company. Any decision to purchase Company securities indirectly through a Company or Fund must be made without certainty of the Company’s financial and operating data. In the context of other investment decisions, such data might be a necessary part of an investor’s appraisal of the advisability of making an indirect investment in the Company. Investors considering an investment in a Company or Fund must be aware that there is a risk that: (i) there are facts or circumstances pertaining to a Company that the public, the Company or Fund and you are not aware of, and (ii) publicly available information and information on the Site concerning the Company upon which you and/or the Company or Fund rely may prove to be inaccurate, and, as a result, you may suffer a partial or complete loss of the investment. 

You should read and understand the risk factors contained in the Company Information before investing in a Company or Fund. Each Company is solely responsible for providing risk factors, conflicts of interest, and other disclosures that you should consider when investing in a Company or Fund. Neither Crowdigy Advisors and Crowdigy LLC nor any of its affiliates has any ability to assure, and has not in any way assured, that any or all such risk factors, conflicts of interest and other disclosures have been presented fully and fairly, or that all applicable risk factors or conflicts of interests have been presented at all.

3.6.12 No Assurance of Profit Distributions

An investment in interests of a Company or Fund may not generate profits for you. A return on investment will depend upon successful liquidity of a Company’s securities and thus, the ultimate value of any investment depends upon factors beyond your or Crowdigy Advisor’s control. You will typically not receive distributions, if any, until a Liquidity Event, which may not occur for many years. You must therefore bear the economic risk of an investment for an indefinite period of time. 

3.6.13 Lack of Performance Record

Each Company or Fund is a newly formed entity with no performance record. 

3.6.14 A Company or Fund Does Not Offer a Complete Investment Program

A Company or Fund investment is not a complete or diversified investment program and should represent only a small portion of a potential investor's investment portfolio.

3.6.15 Potential Liability to Return Prior Distributions

Under the Delaware Limited Liability Act or other governing laws, members of a series of a limited liability company such as a Company or Fund may be liable to return prior distributions made to them by a Company or Fund in the event that such Company or Fund becomes insolvent subsequent to the date of such distributions.

3.6.16 Possibility of Phantom Income

It is possible that your investment will result in "phantom income," which could require you to pay taxes on your investment even though the Company or Fund does not distribute any income (or does not distribute sufficient income to pay the taxes).

3.6.17 Lack of Regulatory Oversight Regarding Reg D Listings and Offering Materials

Offering documents provided by Companies engaging in Reg D Listings are not required to be reviewed by, and are not reviewed by, the SEC or any other federal or state regulatory body. Neither the interests in Companies or Funds nor the underlying Company securities in which Companies invest may have been registered under the 1933 Act or any other law of the United States, or under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction. 

3.7 Reserved.

3.8 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN CONSIDERATIONS 

Individual retirement accounts ("IRAs") are "benefit plan investors," as that term is defined by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and are permitted to invest in the Company or Funds listed on Site. However, it is not expected that the assets of a Company or Fund will be treated as "plan assets" of such benefit plan investors for purposes of the fiduciary responsibility standards and prohibited transaction restrictions of ERISA and the parallel prohibited transaction excise tax provisions of Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Each Company or Fund will limit investments by IRAs and other benefit plan investors so that such investments constitute less than 25% of the value of Company or Fund’s assets.

3.9 TAX CONSIDERATIONS

YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN LEGAL AND TAX ADVISERS REGARDING THE POSSIBLE TAX AND OTHER CONSEQUENCES OF BUYING, HOLDING, TRANSFERRING AND REDEEMING INTERESTS IN ANY INVESTMENT, COMPANY OR FUND.

4.3 CHOOSING AND MAKING INVESTMENTS

4.3.1 Services of Crowdigy Portal with Respect to Reg CF Listings 

Crowdigy LLC or Crowdigy Portal operates the portions of the Site that present Reg CF Listings by Companies. Members may be clients of Crowdigy Advisors or Crowdigy LLC. Although Crowdigy Portal evaluates potential Companies and determines which Companies will be able to engage in Reg CF Listings on the Site, you acknowledge and agree that this evaluation is limited to certain predetermined, objective criteria and does not constitute an endorsement of any particular Company or a recommendation that Members invest in any particular Company, and does not establish an advisory relationship between you and Crowdigy Portal.

Further, you agree clients or Companies labeled as “Sponsored” on Site only represent preferential placement with certain features and functionality for respective Companies and you agree this does not constitute an endorsement of any particular Company or a recommendation that Members invest in any particular Company, and does not establish an advisory relationship between you and Crowdigy Portal or Crowdigy LLC.

For all Companies listed on the Crowdigy Portal Site, Crowdigy Portal performs a limited review of the information provided by each Company to determine whether it is appropriate for inclusion on the Site (including, among other things, to determine whether Crowdigy Portal has a reasonable basis for believing that the Company complies with Reg CF). The information reviewed includes all information in the Company’s profile and in its Form C. This review is not intended to verify any information provided by the Companies regarding their operations, assess the likelihood that a Company will succeed or generate investment returns, or otherwise inform or influence any investment decisions by investors. Neither Crowdigy LLC nor its affiliates performs any separate due diligence on the Companies. Some of the Companies listed on the Crowdigy Portal Site may have been considered for, but not listed by a Third Party Funding Portal.

You acknowledge that as a Member of the Site, you are not in an investment advisory relationship with Crowdigy Portal or Crowdigy LLC.

You also acknowledge that none of Crowdigy Portal, Crowdigy LLC, any Third Party Funding Portal, or any of their affiliates advises Members on the merits of a particular investment or transaction or provides legal or transactional advisory services to Members.

You should always seek the assistance of a professional for advice on investments, tax, the law, or other similar matters.

4.3.2 Investments in Reg CF Listings through Company Securities

In Reg CF Listings, links to third parties provide Companies an opportunity to raise funds by allowing Members to invest either (i) directly in Companies seeking capital or (ii) in SPVs (as defined below) which in turn invest in Companies (as further described in Section 7 below), from both accredited and non-accredited investors. Companies seeking to raise money through Reg CF are limited to raising a maximum of $5 million through Reg CF Listings in a single 12 month period, and are subject to certain investment limitations for all investors, as described below in Section 4.3.8 – "Investor Eligibility Requirements."

Members participating in Reg CF Listings (or SPVs through which Members invest, as applicable) will invest in Company Securities, which will be debt, equity, or convertible securities issued by the Company. The terms of the Company Securities purchased in Reg CF Listings will vary depending on the type of security offered by a Company. Investors should carefully consider the terms of the Company Securities in which they invest (directly or via an SPV) and read the educational materials available on the Site about each type of security.

The terms of your investment will be set forth in the Company Information and will be governed by the investment contract between you and the Company (or the SPV, as applicable). The Company may reject your investment for any reason or for no reason in its discretion.

Once you complete and submit an investment contract, you will be asked to transfer funds from your bank or other type of account into a bank account maintained by a bank for the benefit of the Company and other Companies raising funds through third parties, NOT Crowdigy LLC or the Site. 

4.3.3 Limitation on Subscriptions 

You acknowledge that no Company for which you submit an investment contract has any obligation to accept your investment, and that any fraction of the investment amount stated on the investment page of the Site and/or in the investment contract may be accepted, or your investment may be rejected entirely, for any reason. If you submitted funds in excess of the investment amount accepted, the excess funds may be returned to you without interest in a manner determined in the sole discretion of the Company.

4.3.4 Aggregate Subscriptions

With respect to any Reg CF Listings in which you invest, you agree that you will not use the Site to invest more than you are permitted to invest in any 12 month period under Reg CF, as discussed further below in Section 4.3.8.

4.3.5 Limitation of Liability and Indemnification

The Terms of Service, this Agreement, and the Subscription Agreement limit the liability of Crowdigy Portal, Crowdigy LLC, any Third Party Funding Portal and/or their affiliates, and provide for indemnification in certain circumstances. You acknowledge that Crowdigy Portal, Crowdigy LLC, any Third Party Funding Portal, and any of their affiliates, or any member, manager or employee thereof, shall not be liable in connection with any information or omission of information contained in materials prepared or supplied by a Company or other third party or developed in reliance on information provided by a Company. You acknowledge that such materials may include, but are not limited to, information available through the Site, and materials distributed to investors by Crowdigy Portal, Crowdigy LLC, a Third Party Funding Portal or any of their affiliates (or members, managers, or employees). You acknowledge that the information regarding Companies presented on the Site is provided by the Companies and not by Crowdigy Portal, Crowdigy LLC, any Third Party Funding Portal or any of their affiliates. You acknowledge that none of Crowdigy Portal, Crowdigy LLC, any Third Party Funding Portal, their affiliates, or their members, managers, or employees approves or reviews information prepared or supplied by a Company or otherwise undertakes any due diligence with respect to a Company and shall not be liable with respect to the past, present, or future performance or non-performance by a Company of the activities described in such information. You acknowledge that you understand that the information provided by companies on the Site may not be sufficient or suitable to support an informed investment decision.

4.3.6 Fees Charged in Respect of Reg CF Listings 

Third parties, Brokers and portals from Site links may charge a fee to each Member who invests in a Reg CF Listings, which will be a percentage of the amount the Member invested at the time each Reg CF Offering closes. You acknowledge that Crowdigy Portal and Crowdigy LLC, do not manage, solicit, receive nor are responsible for any such fees from third party sites, Brokers, or transactions that may occur as a result of any engagements with investment related activities.

4.3.7 Subscribing for Company Securities 

The Company Securities offered to Members (directly or via an SPV) in Reg CF Listings will not be registered under the 1933 Act or the securities laws of any state or any other jurisdiction. Companies will generally set a minimum subscription amount for investment for each Fundraising, which will generally be $100 at a minimum.

4.3.8 Investor Eligibility Requirements

In accordance with Reg CF’s requirements, you are not permitted to invest more than a certain amount in listings made under Reg CF (including those not made through the Site) during any single 12 month period, which amount is determined based on your own financial circumstances. In particular, if your annual income or net worth is less than $107,000, you may only invest a maximum amount equal to the greater of $2,200 or 5 percent of the greater of your annual income or your net worth. If both your annual income and net worth are equal to more than $107,000, you may only invest a maximum amount equal to 10 percent of the greater of your annual income or net worth, but you may not invest more than $107,000 through all Reg CF listings.

Further, you understand and agree that Brokers are permitted under Reg CF to rely on your representations regarding your compliance with these investment limits when determining whether to permit you to participate in a Reg CF Offering.

4.3.9 Investor Contract Amendments

You understand and agree Crowdigy LLC and Crowdigy Portal have no relationship or interest in any contracts, amendments or other legal obligations between any Reg CF Offering and you or any other Member on Site. Furthermore, you agree that Crowdigy LLC and Crowdigy Portal do not provide any legal advice, recommendations or endorsements regarding any behaviors, determinations or decisions regarding any Investment contracts from links on the Site, Brokers or third parties.

4.4 RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH REG CROWDFUNDING LISTINGS 

You should consult your own legal, tax and financial advisers regarding the suitability, desirability and appropriateness of purchasing interests in anyt Company. You should also carefully consider the following risks prior to investing in any Company: 

4.4.1 General

An investment in a Company involves significant risks, only some of which are described in this Agreement, and is suitable only for sophisticated investors who have limited need for liquidity in their investment, who can afford the potential loss of their investment and who meet the conditions for eligibility set forth in this Agreement. An investment in a Company is not intended as a complete investment program. Companies are early stage venture companies. Venture investments involve a high degree of risk and many or most venture investments lose money. After a Liquidity Event (if any), you may ultimately receive cash, securities, or a combination of cash and securities (and in some cases nothing at all). If you receive securities, the securities may not be publicly traded, and may not have any significant value.

4.4.2 No Guarantee of Investment Returns

None of Crowdigy Portal, Crowdigy LLC, any Third Party Funding Portal, or any of their affiliates guarantees the future performance or financial results of any Company, and an investment in a Company may result in a gain or loss upon termination or liquidation of your investment.

4.4.3 Restrictions on Resale or Transfer

The Company Securities may be issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the 1933 Act and are not registered thereunder or any other law of the United States, or under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction. Company Securities purchased through links through the Site in Reg CF Listings may be restricted and may not be able to be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of during the one-year period starting with the date of purchase, unless they are transferred: (1) to the Company itself; (2) to an "accredited investor" (as defined in as defined in Regulation D under the 1933 Act); (3) in connection with a registered offering of the Company Securities with the SEC; (4) to a family member of the Member, or to a trust of the Member or one of its family members; or (5) in connection with the Member’s death or divorce.

However, even if you are able to sell or transfer your Company Securities, there is a limited market for the sale of a Company Securities, and there is no guarantee that a market will develop in the future for the Company Securities you purchase. Therefore, if you require liquidity in your investment, you should not invest in a Company.

4.4.4 No Control Over Management of the Companies 

You may not have any right to manage, influence or control the management or operations of Companies. In particular, you may not have, or will have only limited, voting rights associated with your Company Securities, but in any event will not have voting powers to direct the management decisions of the Company. You must refer to the voting provisions in the relevant investment contract that controls your investment. The success of any Company investment depends on the ability and success of the management of the Company, in addition to economic and market factors.

4.4.5 No Control Over Company Future Valuation

Valuations may fluctuate considerably and the price paid for Company Securities by you may bear limited or no relationship to future valuations of the Company’s securities in any market that may develop for such securities, whether private or public.

4.4.6 Limited Information About Companies

Due to the nature of private companies, there may be limited information—financial, operating or otherwise—regarding each Company. You should read and understand the risk factors contained in the Company Information, including the Form C, before investing in Company Securities. Each Company is solely responsible for providing risk factors, conflicts of interest, and other disclosures that you should consider when investing in Company Securities.

4.4.7 No Assurance of Profit 

An investment in Company Securities may not generate profits for you. A return on investment will depend upon successful liquidity of a Company’s securities and thus, the ultimate value of any investment depends upon factors beyond your or Crowdigy Portal’s control. You will typically not receive returns, if any, until a Liquidity Event, which may not occur for many years. You must therefore bear the economic risk of an investment for an indefinite period of time. 

4.4.8 Direct Investment in Companies in Reg CF Listings

In Reg CF Listings, Members will invest in the securities of Companies either directly or via a SPV. The Company will not be managed by Crowdigy Portal, Crowdigy LLC ,or any of its affiliates in any respect. The terms of any investment in a Company effected through a Reg CF Offering will be set by the Company, and to the extent any negotiation occurs, it will be solely between a Member and the Company. 

4.4.9 Lack of Regulatory Oversight of Reg CF Listings and Offering Materials

Crowdigy Portal and Crowdigy LLC are not Brokers and as such, are not registered as funding portals with the SEC and are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). Brokers and Third Party Funding Portals who manage investemtn transactions ARE registered as funding portals with the SEC and are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and as such, must submit certain information and materials to FINRA and the SEC and are subject to examination by FINRA and the SEC. In addition, Companies must file with the SEC a disclosure document called a Form C and updates and amendments to the Form C. However, the funding portal regulatory regime and the Form C are not as comprehensive as the regulatory regime and disclosure documents that apply to listings registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and, as a result, you may not receive the same level of disclosure and oversight that is available in registered listings.

4.4.10 Review of Reg CF Offering Documents by SEC and Crowdigy Portal and/or a Third Party Funding Portal No Indicator of Likely Success of Company or Guarantee of Investment Returns 

Under Reg CF, a Company must file a Form C disclosure document with the SEC and provide the disclosure to prospective investors. As noted above, Crowdigy Portal and Crowdigy LLC will perform a limited review of Companies, including the information proposed to be provided to the SEC and potential investors, to determine whether to permit a Company to engage in Reg CF Listings on the Site. However, none of the SEC, Crowdigy Portal or any Third Party Funding Portal (if applicable) will be reviewing any Company’s Form C or other offering materials with the view to determine the likelihood of success of the Company’s business strategy or the likelihood that it will generate investment returns. Further, the review of a Company’s Form C by the SEC under Reg CF does not indicate the SEC’s endorsement of such Company or its view with regard to the likely financial performance of the Company or the advisability of investing in such Company, and is not a guarantee of investment returns.

4.4.11 An Investment in a Company Does Not Offer a Complete Investment Program

An investment in a Company is not a complete or diversified investment program and should represent only a small portion of a potential investor’s investment portfolio.

4.4.12 Possibility of Phantom Income

It is possible that your investment will result in "phantom income," which could require you to pay taxes on your investment even though the Company does not distribute any income (or does not distribute sufficient income to pay the taxes).

4.4.13 Other Specific Risks Associated with Investing in a Particular Company May Not Be Disclosed by the Company. 

Each Company will disclose in the Company Information the particular risks associated with an investment in the Company. YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN LEGAL AND TAX ADVISERS REGARDING THE POSSIBLE TAX AND OTHER CONSEQUENCES OF BUYING, HOLDING, TRANSFERRING AND REDEEMING COMPANY OR SPV SECURITIES.

4.5 CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ASSOCIATED WITH REG CF LISTINGS 

4.5.1 General

Crowdigy Portal will facilitate discovery of Reg CF Listings, and its affiliates, members, managers, officers and/or employees will manage other businesses, including, without limitation, those associated with Crowdigy Advisors, Crowdigy LLC, and Crowdigy EU. Each of Crowdigy Portal, Crowdigy Advisors and Crowdigy LLC, Crowdigy LLC, and Crowdigy EU are affiliated and related parties. Certain inherent conflicts of interest arise from the activities of Crowdigy Portal and its affiliates. You should carefully consider the conflicts of interest described in the Terms of Service, this Agreement, and on the Site prior to investing in a Company.

5.3 CHOOSING AND MAKING INVESTMENTS

5.3.1 Services of Crowdigy with Respect to Reg A+ Listings

Crowdigy operates the portions of the Site that present Reg A+ Listings by Companies. Companies may or may not be clients of Crowdigy. Although Crowdigy evaluates potential Companies and determines which Companies will be able to engage in Reg A+ Listings on the Site, you acknowledge and agree that this evaluation is limited to certain predetermined, objective criteria and does not constitute an endorsement of any particular Company or a recommendation that Members invest in any particular Company, and does not establish an advisory relationship between you and Crowdigy or any of its affiliates.

The information reviewed includes information regarding a Company’s Founders, business plan, its current and anticipated resources, and, on a high level, its Offering Circular. This review is not intended to verify any information provided by the Companies regarding their operations, assess the likelihood that a Company will succeed or generate investment returns, or otherwise inform or influence any investment decisions by investors. Crowdigy does not perform any separate due diligence on the Companies, and the Companies are solely responsible with providing Members, Brokers and Third Party Portals, in the Company Information, with all material information regarding the Company and to update the Company Information with respect to any material changes to the information contained therein.

The information, materials and services made available on the Site do not constitute a recommendation, endorsement, or any other form of investment advice to Members by Crowdigy or its affiliates to buy or sell any securities or other financial instruments. Crowdigy does not provide any legal, tax, investment, financial or other advice to Members. The content of the Site has been prepared without reference to any particular Member’s investment requirements or financial situation.

5.3.2 Investments in Reg A+ Listings through Company Securities 

In Reg A+ Listings, Crowdigy provides Companies an opportunity to raise funds by allowing Members to discover opportunities to invest directly in Companies seeking capital from both accredited and non-accredited investors through links on Site and through Third Party Portals or Brokers. Companies seeking to raise money through Reg A+ will either choose to engage in a "Tier 1 Reg A+ Offering" or a "Tier 2 Reg A+ Offering." Companies engaging in Tier 1 Reg A+ Listings are limited to raising a maximum of $20 million through Reg A+ Listings in a single 12 month period. Companies engaging in Tier 2 Reg A+ Listings are limited to raising a maximum of $75 million through Reg A+ Listings in a single 12 month period, and are subject to certain investment limitations for non-accredited investors, as described below in Section 5.3.8 – "Investor Eligibility Requirements." Companies engaging in Reg A+ Listings must have their Offering Circular (which will be included in the Company Information) qualified by the SEC prior to closing a Company Securities offering.

Members participating in Reg A+ Listings will invest in Company Securities. While Company Securities purchased in Reg A+ Listings may earn a set interest rate, they are not expected to have any required regular payment obligations by the Company or any specified maturity date. Members are expected to achieve a return on their investment (if any) upon conversion of the Company Securities to another type of instrument during a Liquidity Event, at which time Members will receive funds (if applicable) in exchange for their Company Securities.

Other than requiring that Companies engaged in Reg A+ Listings use this basic structure, the terms of Members’ investment in Companies will generally not be negotiable. The terms of your investment in the Company will be set forth in the Company Information and will be governed by the investment contract between you and the Company, pursuant to which you will make certain representations to the Company. Crowdigy or the Company may reject your investment for any reason or for no reason in its discretion.

Once you complete and submit an investment contract, you will be asked to transfer funds from your bank account into a bank account maintained either by the Company itself or by a Third Party Service Provider. Crowdigy LLC nor it’s subsidiaries or affiliates are responsible for any portion or part of any investment transaction of Members. 

5.3.3 Limitation on Subscriptions 

You acknowledge that no Company for which you submit an investment contract has any obligation to accept your investment, and that any fraction of the investment amount stated on your investment contract may be accepted, or your subscription may be rejected entirely, for any reason. If you submitted funds in excess of the investment amount accepted, the excess funds will be returned to you without interest in a manner determined in the sole discretion of the Company.

5.3.4 Aggregate Subscriptions

With respect to any Tier 2 Reg A+ Listings in which you invest, you agree that you will not use the Site to invest more than you are permitted to invest in a single Reg A+ Offering under Regulation A, as discussed further below in Section 5.3.8.

5.3.5 Limitation of Liability and Indemnification

The Terms of Service, this Agreement, and the investment contract limit the liability of Crowdigy and/or its affiliates, and provide for indemnification in certain circumstances. You acknowledge that Crowdigy, and any of its affiliates, or any member, manager or employee thereof, shall not be liable in connection with any information or omission of information contained in materials prepared or supplied by a Company or developed in reliance on information provided by a Company. You acknowledge that such materials may include, but are not limited to, information available through the Site, and materials distributed to investors by Crowdigy or an affiliate (or member, manager, or employee) thereof. You acknowledge that the information regarding Companies presented on the Site is provided by the Companies and not by Crowdigy or any of its affiliates. You acknowledge that none of Crowdigy, its affiliates, or their members, managers, or employees approves or reviews information prepared or supplied by a Company or otherwise undertakes any due diligence with respect to a Company and shall not be liable with respect to the past, present, or future performance or non-performance by a Company of the activities described in such information. You acknowledge that you understand that the information provided by companies on the Site may not be sufficient or suitable to support an informed investment decision.

5.3.6 Fees Charged in Respect of Reg A+ Listings 

Crowdigy will not charge a fee to Members who invest in a Reg A+ Listings. It is possible that each Company that participates in a Reg A+ Offering may charge fees to Members, and such fees will be disclosed in the Company Information provided wherever they process or present terms of their offering on Third Party Portals or with their Broker.

5.3.7 Subscribing for Company Securities 

Companies will generally set a minimum subscription amount for investment for each Fundraising. 

5.3.8 Investor Eligibility Requirements

In accordance with Regulation A’s requirements, if you are not an "accredited investor," you are not able to invest more than either 10 percent of your annual income or 10 percent of your net worth, depending on which amount is greater, in a Tier 2 Reg A+ Offering. If you are an entity, you will not be able to invest more than either 10 percent of your revenue or 10 percent of your net assets, depending on which amount is greater. You acknowledge and understand that Crowdigy and its affiliates are permitted under Regulation A to rely on your representations regarding your compliance with these investment limits when determining whether to permit you to participate in a Tier 2 Reg A+ Offering. Any investor can invest any amount in a Tier 1 Reg A+ Offering.

5.4 RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH REG A+ LISTINGS 

You should consult your own legal, tax and financial advisers regarding the suitability, desirability and appropriateness of purchasing interests in a Company. You should also carefully consider the following risks prior to investing in a Company: 

5.4.1 General

An investment in a Company involves significant risks, only some of which are described in this Agreement, and is suitable only for sophisticated investors who have limited need for liquidity in their investment, who can afford the potential loss of their investment and who meet the conditions for eligibility set forth in this Agreement. An investment in a Company is not intended as a complete investment program. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any Company will be met. Companies are early stage venture companies. Venture investments involve a high degree of risk and many or most venture company investments lose money. After a Liquidity Event (if any), you may ultimately receive cash, securities, or a combination of cash and securities (and in some cases nothing at all). If you receive securities, the securities may not be publicly traded, and may not have any significant value.

5.4.2 No Guarantee of Investment Returns

None of Crowdigy or any of its affiliates guarantees the future performance or financial results of any Company, and an investment in a Company may result in a gain or loss upon termination or liquidation of your investment. 

5.4.3 Restrictions on Resale or Transfer

Securities sold in Reg A+ Listings are not "restricted securities" under the Securities Act, and are freely tradeable, subject to certain restrictions:

  • With respect to a Company’s initial Reg A+ Offering (whether or not it was presented on the Site), and any additional Reg A+ Listings of such Company during the first 12 months thereafter, the aggregate sales by holders of Company Securities (including affiliates of the Company) in respect of any Reg A+ Offering of such Company may not exceed 30 percent of the aggregate offering price of the particular Reg A+ Offering.

  • After the expiration of the 12 month period referred to above, affiliates of such Company (but not other selling Company Security holders) will be limited to selling no more than $6 million over any 12-month period in respect of a Tier 1 Reg A+ Offering and no more than $15 million over any 12-month period in respect of a Tier 2 Reg A+ Offering.

These restrictions may limit your ability to liquidate Company Securities. Therefore, if you require liquidity in your investment, you should not invest in Company Securities. 

5.4.5 No Control Over Management of the Companies 

You will not have any right to manage, influence or control the management or operations of Companies. In particular, you will not have, or will have only limited, voting rights associated with your Company Securities, but in any event will not have voting powers to direct the management decisions of the Company. You must refer to the discussion of voting in the applicable Offering Circular. The success of any Company investment depends on the ability and success of the management of the Company, in addition to economic and market factors.

5.4.6 No Control Over Company Future Valuation

Valuations may fluctuate considerably and the price paid for Company Securities by you may bear limited or no relationship to future valuations of the Company’s securities in any market that may develop for such securities, whether private or public.

5.4.7 Limited Information About Companies

Due to the nature of Companies, there may be limited information—financial, operating or otherwise—regarding each Company. You should read and understand the risk factors contained in the Company Information, including the Offering Circular, before investing in Company Securities. Each Company is solely responsible for providing risk factors, conflicts of interest, and other disclosures that you should consider when investing in Company Securities. 

5.4.8 No Assurance of Profit. 

An investment in Company Securities may not generate profits for you. You must bear the economic risk of an investment for an indefinite period of time if you are not able to sell your Securities. 

5.4.9 Lack of Involvement of Crowdigy in Reg A+ Listings 

In Reg A+ Listings, Members will invest directly in the securities of Companies. The Company will not be managed by Crowdigy or any of its affiliates in any respect. The terms of any investment in a Company effected through a Reg A+ Offering will be set by the Company, and to the extent any negotiation occurs, it will be solely between a Member and the Company. Once an investment in a Company through a Reg A+ Offering is closed, Crowdigy’s involvement will terminate, and the relationship will exist solely between the Members and the Company.

5.4.10 Lack of Regulatory Oversight of Reg A+ Listings and Offering Materials

Companies must file their Offering Circulars with the SEC, which must be qualified by the SEC before Companies may close on their Reg A+ Offering. However, the regulatory regime surrounding Regulation A is not as comprehensive as the regulatory regime and disclosure documents that apply to listings registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and, as a result, you may not receive the same level of disclosure and oversight that is available in registered listings.

5.4.11 Review of Reg A+ Offering Documents by Crowdigy and Qualification by the SEC No Indicator of Likely Success of Company or Guarantee of Investment Returns 

Under Regulation A, certain offering materials are required to be submitted to, and qualified by, the SEC and provided to prospective investors, including the Offering Circular. As noted above, Crowdigy will perform a limited review of Companies, including the information proposed to be provided to potential investors, to determine whether to permit a Company to engage in Reg A+ Listings on the Site. However, neither the SEC nor Crowdigy will be reviewing any Company’s Offering Circular or other offering materials with the view to determine the likelihood of success of the Company’s business strategy or the likelihood that it will generate investment returns. Further, the review and approval of a Company’s Offering Circular by the SEC under Regulation A does not indicate the SEC’s endorsement of such Company or its view with regard to the likely financial performance of the Company or the advisability of investing in such Company, and is not a guarantee of investment returns.

5.4.12 An Investment in a Company Does Not Offer a Complete Investment Program

An investment in a Company is not a complete or diversified investment program and should represent only a small portion of a potential investor's investment portfolio.

5.4.12 Possibility of Phantom Income

It is possible that your investment will result in "phantom income," which could require you to pay taxes on your investment even though the Company does not distribute any income (or does not distribute sufficient income to pay the taxes).

5.4.13 Other Specific Risks Associated with Investing in a Particular Company May Not Be Disclosed by the Company. 

Because investors in Reg A+ Listings invest directly in a Company, the terms of the investment and other specific information about the Company will be disclosed to you only by the Company in the Company Information, including in the Offering Circular. The Company will disclose in the Offering Circular and other documents included in the Company Information the particular risks associated with an investment in the Company, but Crowdigy does not review the Offering Circular or the Company Information to ensure that any or all risks associated with the Company’s particular management or terms of the offering are disclosed. YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN LEGAL AND TAX ADVISERS REGARDING THE POSSIBLE TAX AND OTHER CONSEQUENCES OF BUYING, HOLDING, TRANSFERRING AND REDEEMING COMPANY OR SPV SECURITIES.

5.5 CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ASSOCIATED WITH REG A+ LISTINGS 

5.5.1 General

Generally, Crowdigy LLC will present on the Site the Reg A+ Listings, and its affiliates, members, managers, officers and/or employees will manage other businesses, including, without limitation, those associated with Crowdigy Advisors and Crowdigy LLC, Crowdigy Portal, and Crowdigy EU. Each of Crowdigy LLC, Crowdigy Advisors and Crowdigy LLC, Crowdigy Portal, and Crowdigy EU are affiliated and related parties. Certain inherent conflicts of interest arise from the activities of Crowdigy and its affiliates. You should carefully consider the conflicts of interest described in the Terms of Service, this Agreement, and on the Site prior to investing in a Company.

I agree to be bound by any affirmation, assent or agreement that I transmit, or have transmitted, to or through this website (the "Platform") by computer or other electronic device, including internet, telephonic and wireless devices, including but not limited to any consent I give or have given to receive communications from Crowdigy LLC or any of its affiliates, including Crowdigy Advisors and Crowdigy LLC LLC and/or Crowdigy Portal LLC, as applicable ("Crowdigy") solely through electronic transmission.

I understand that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notices, disclosures, forms, privacy statements, reports or other communications, including any tax-related information or documents to the extent provided below (collectively, "Communications"), regarding the investments available on the Platform, and my investment in any such investments, may be delivered by electronic means, such as by e-mail or through Crowdigy.com. I consent to electronic delivery as described in the preceding sentence. In so consenting, I acknowledge that e-mail messages are not secure and may contain computer viruses or other defects, may not be accurately replicated on other systems or may be intercepted, deleted or interfered with, with or without the knowledge of the sender or the intended recipient. I also acknowledge that an e-mail from Crowdigy may be accessed by recipients other than me and may be interfered with, may contain computer viruses or other defects and may not be successfully replicated on other systems. I understand that Crowdigy gives no warranties in relation to these matters.

In providing this consent, I also acknowledge that I have received Crowdigy's Information on the Electronic Delivery of Tax Documents, included below.

I further understand and agree to each of the following:

  • As long as my consent remains in effect, Crowdigy may provide all Communications to me electronically in lieu of providing paper Communications.

In order to view and retain the Communications, my computer hardware and software must, at a minimum, be capable of accessing the Internet, with connectivity to an Internet Service Provider or any other capable communications medium, and with software capable of viewing and printing a *.pdf file created by Adobe Acrobat. Further, I must have a personal e-mail address capable of sending and receiving e- mail messages to and from Crowdigy.

  • If these software or hardware requirements change in the future, Crowdigy will notify me through the Platform.

  • To facilitate these services, I must provide Crowdigy with my current e-mail address and update that information as necessary. Unless otherwise required by law, I will be deemed to have received any electronic Communications that are sent to the most current e-mail address that I have provided to Crowdigy.

  • I may withdraw my consent to receive Communications in electronic form by emailing Crowdigy at team@crowdigy.com.
