III. Use of the Website, the Services, and Our Role

The Website and Services are a technology platform intended to permit Accredited Investors to review and participate in real estate development investments submitted by potential borrowers. Equitie Capital provides the Website and the Services for the following purposes: (1) to disseminate information regarding Equitie Capital’s investment opportunities in connection with real estate lending opportunities to third party real estate owners; and (2) provide such information to potential investors seeking investments in such opportunities. All information provided by and through the Website and/or the Services is strictly for informational purposes only. Nothing contained herein shall constitute an offer to sell to or solicitation of an offer to purchase from any investor in any jurisdiction. Nothing contained herein is intended to aid in or form the sole basis of any investment decision. Each user is expected to perform his/her own full due diligence and ask questions, receive answers, and obtain additional information and conduct their own due diligence review concerning a particular investment. Any investment undertaken must comply with all legal requirements in each jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers, or sells securities.

A limited license is granted to you by us to view, download, and use a single copy of the Website or the Services solely for your personal, non-commercial use and only as an aid to participating on the Website or the Services. The Website and the Services may only be used in a manner consistent with this purpose, and only within the context of the products, services and information set forth on the Website. Except as provided in this Terms of Use, you are not permitted to download (other than page caching), copy, share, retransmit, or change any portion of the Website, unless you have our express written consent.

Any securities summarized or made known to a user by and through the Website or the Services have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any such offerings will be subject to additional disclosures and conditions related to the specific offering. The publicly accessible portions of the Website or the Services are not an offer to sell, nor an invitation or an offer to buy, any securities. Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, nor any state securities commission or other regulatory authority, has approved or endorsed the merits of any offering identified, referenced, or disclosed through the Website or Services.

We attempt to ensure that information on the Website and the Services is complete, accurate and current. Despite our efforts, the information on the Website or the Services may occasionally be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date, and we make no representation or promise to you about the completeness, accuracy, or timeliness of any information on the Website or the Services.

No Solicitation; No Advice Provided; Due Diligence Required

The investment opportunities to purchase securities that may be offered only through the Website and/or Services have not been registered under the Act of 1933, based upon the reliance on the exemptions from registration provided under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

None of the information contained on the Website or the Services constitutes a recommendation, investment advice, or a solicitation to buy or sell securities. Equitie Capital is not a registered broker-dealer, funding portal, or investment advisor under U.S. securities laws and does not conduct any activity that would require registration as such.

The information contained on the Website or the Services has been prepared by us without reference to any particular user’s investment requirements or financial situation, and does not constitute financial, legal, or tax advice. We do not guarantee the performance of any offerings made through its Website. To the extent that certain investment summaries and/or overviews made available on or through the Website and/or the Services contain summary information regarding the character of the investment opportunities and/or lending opportunities, as well as their principal business terms, such summaries are intended for informational purposes only and do not purport to be complete, and each is qualified in its entirety by reference to the more detailed discussions contained in any investor document package (including but not limited to a private placement memorandum or other offering circular or prospectus) relating to any such investment opportunity. Any and all projections, estimates, and expectations for investments offered through the Website or the Services are merely opinions, which should not be relied upon for any purpose whatsoever. You are solely responsible for conducting your own legal, accounting or due diligence review of the offerings, and we strongly encourage you to consult with professional tax, legal and financial advisors before making any investment. Investment products are not FDIC-insured. They may lose value, and there is no bank guarantee.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms of Use, in no event shall anything in these Terms of Use be deemed to be a waiver, and Equitie Capital will not assert there has been a waiver, that would not be permissible under Section 14 of the Securities Act, Section 29(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or any other applicable provision of federal and state securities laws.

Account Registration

Certain functions of the Website or the Services may require registration, such as posting or reviewing investment opportunities, responding to surveys, or participating in promotions or contests. If you register or provide information to us in any manner, you agree to provide only true, accurate, current and complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account, and you are fully responsible for all activities and actions that occur in connection with the account. If we issue a username and/or password to you, you agree to protect that information by, among other things, keeping your password and other information confidential. If, in spite of the foregoing obligation, you allow another party to use your account, you accept that you will be responsible for all use of the Website or the Services and all other activities performed by the party using your account. You must immediately notify us of any unauthorized uses of your account or any other breaches of security as soon as you become aware of or suspect it. We will not be liable for your acts or omissions, including but any damages of any kind incurred as a result of those acts or omissions. If you delete your account, we may still need to retain certain information for record keeping, administrative, legal, and technical purposes. By registering for an account, you grant us permission to send emails, surveys, offers, promotions and other marketing material to you via email, including both commercial content and transactional/relationship content. You may unsubscribe at any time.

Accredited Investors

Certain areas of our Website and Services are restricted to certain qualified, registered and authorized users. Specifically, investments offered through the Website or the Services are available only to “accredited investors,” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act. In summary, “Accredited Investor” means an individual: (a) with a net worth of more than one million U.S. dollars ($1,000,000.00) (excluding his/her primary residence), or (b) with a gross income for each of the last two years of at least two hundred thousand U.S. dollars ($200,000.00) or (c) with a combined three hundred thousand U.S. dollars ($300,000.00) with his/her spouse with the expectation of a similarly qualifying income during the current year. In some cases, we may require you to provide supporting documents as proof that you are an Accredited Investor.

You understand that under certain circumstances you may not participate in certain investment opportunities, without becoming subject to certain “bad actor” disqualifying events described in Rule 506(d) (a “Disqualifying Event”). You represent that you are not subject to a Disqualifying Event and that you will promptly notify Equitie Capital in writing should any Disqualifying Events be applicable to you.

By registering as an Accredited Investor, you represent that you are an accredited investor pursuant to the Securities Act, are of legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, and have an understanding of, and ability and willingness to bear the consequences of, economic, financial and investment risk. You acknowledge that the value of investments and the income from them can both rise and fall. Past performance is not a guarantee of future performance. Investments described on the Website or the Services will target real estate investments that vary in size, scope, term, and return profiles, and therefore each potential investment may contain different degrees of risk. Any investment can only be offered subject to its own offering documents. By registering as an Accredited Investor and using the Website, you understand and acknowledge that all of the investments offered are inherently risky, and that you are comfortable with the possibility of losing your entire investment.

You hereby affirm and acknowledge (i) that real estate investments are generally highly risky, volatile, and unpredictable; (ii) the real estate industry, the real estate lending industry, and the real estate finance industry in general are subject to significant ebbs and flows and market shifts; (iii) that any investment opportunity you participate in by and through the Website or the Services may not generate sufficient cash flow, returns, and/or repayment monies to return your investment, provide sufficient cash flows, or otherwise satisfied any of your investment goals and/or budgetary requirements; (iv) you further affirm, acknowledge, and agree that the value of any underlying real estate property associated with any investment opportunity that you participate in by and through the Website and/or the Services may decline after such participation, thereby potentially lowering the value of your investment or the likelihood of achieving a return of your investment monies; and (v) you further affirm, acknowledge, and agree that while the Website and the Services may provide access to investment opportunities that purport to be “backed”, “secured by”, or otherwise linked to a real property asset, these items cannot and do not guarantee any return of your investment.

If you fail to provide any information and documentation requested by us to confirm your status as an Accredited Investor or if you provide any deceptive or misleading information when registering for the Service, we have the option, in our sole discretion, to immediately discontinue your use of the Website or the Services, in addition to any other rights or remedies at law or in equity. Should you cease to be an Accredited Investor at any time, you agree to immediately notify us and to refrain from accessing such restricted portions of the Website or the Services.

Because access to the restricted portions of the Website or the Services is limited by applicable law to Accredited Investors, you agree that you will not allow anyone else to access such restricted portions of the Website, or share or disclose any information obtained through the restricted portions of the Website with anyone else, regardless of whether you believe such person or entity is also an Accredited Investor.

To the extent that certain investment summaries and/or overviews made available on or through the Website and/or the Services contain summary information regarding the character of the investment opportunities, as well as their principal business terms, such summaries are intended for informational purposes only and do not purport to be complete, and each is qualified in its entirety by reference to the more detailed discussions contained in the investor document package (including but not limited to a private placement memorandum or other offering circular or prospectus) relating to any such investment opportunity.

Non-Disclosure/Non-Circumvention

The investments and other opportunities contained in the non-public areas of the Website or the Services are proprietary and confidential to the Company (the “Confidential Information”).

IX. Procedure for Making and Responding To Claims of Copyright Infringement

We will respond to claims of copyright infringement, and will promptly process and investigate notices of alleged infringement by third-parties and will take appropriate actions under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c)(2), where applicable. In keeping with the DMCA, notifications of claimed copyright infringement by third parties should be sent to the Website’s designated agent (the “Designated Agent”). If you believe that your copyrighted work has been infringed under U.S. copyright law and is accessible on the Website or Services, please notify us by contacting the Designated Agent.

To give effective notification of a claim of copyright infringement by a third-party under the DMCA, you must send a written communication to the Designated Agent that includes substantially the following: (1) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (2) identification of the copyrighted work, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works that are claimed to have been infringed; (3) 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 on the Website; (4) information reasonably sufficient to permit Company to contact the complaining party, such as an address or telephone number, and, if available, an e-mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted; (5) a statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that neither the copyright owner, nor its agent nor the law has authorized the use of the material in the manner complained of; and (6) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

The Designated Agent for notice of claims of copyright infringement can be reached at:

Equitie Capital Corporation

300 Main Street – Suite 812

Madison, NJ 07940

Attn: Designated Copyright Agent

If a valid notification of alleged copyright infringement is received, we will remove or disable access to the material identified in the notice as being infringing or as being the subject of infringing activity, and take reasonable steps to notify the alleged infringer that this material has removed or had access disabled. Please note that under the DMCA, an alleged infringer has the right to submit a counter-notice to have the allegedly infringing material re-published on the Website or Services. Should that occur, you will receive notification from us and, should you wish to have the material subsequently removed, you will be required to file a copyright infringement claim in a US federal court.

Additionally, a claimant who makes a misrepresentation concerning copyright infringement may be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer who is injured by the misrepresentation as a result of reliance upon the misrepresentation by us in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.

Further Tax and IRS Circular 230 Disclosure

The United States Treasury Department has issued final regulations governing the issuance of written tax advice commonly referred to as “Circular 230” rules. Circular 230 contains new extensive due diligence requirements for “covered opinions” and “other written tax advice”. It also sets forth minimum required practice rules with respect to a written discussion of a federal tax issue. The regulations are intended to bolster the efforts of the Treasury Department and the IRS to combat abusive tax shelter advice and to enhance public confidence in the honesty and integrity of tax professionals. The regulations are also intended to deter taxpayers from engaging in abusive transactions by limiting or eliminating their ability to avoid penalties through inappropriate reliance on tax advisor’s advice. Additionally, the regulations are aimed at preventing unprincipled tax advisors and promoters from marketing abusive transactions to large numbers of customers based on opinion that fails to consider adequately the facts of the particular transaction. The information on the Website or the Services does not constitute tax advice and was not written or intended by Equitie Capital to be used 1) to avoid any penalty that may be imposed under federal tax law, or 2) for promotion, marketing or recommending to another person the transaction(s) or matter(s) addressed herein. If you intend to seek tax advice then you should seek advice based on your particular circumstances from your advisor.
