Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment outcomes and projections are hypothetical in nature and cannot be guaranteed.

  • You acknowledge that the Issuer reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to decline your request to subscribe in the offering, in whole or in part.

Background Checks

We, either ourselves or through third-party service providers, may perform background checks on Users of our Site or Services and all subscribers in the offering of securities listed on our Site. These background checks are to confirm whether a subscriber or User’s name and identity matches the identity of anyone listed on a terrorist or criminal database or watch list or is associated with any foreign government. By subscribing for the securities, if any, available through our Site, you consent to such background checks. With respect to background checks (including, but not limited to data which we obtain from third parties regarding publicly available information pursuant to the requirements of the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control, U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, USA PATRIOT Act, criminal law, bankruptcy, or other laws), the data and information contained in our investigations is obtained from numerous regulatory, private, and public sources and is thought to be reliable. The Issuer may have legal obligations under the USA PATRIOT Act or other applicable laws designed to detect money laundering or other crimes, including obligations to report suspicious activity. We reserve the right to deny any individual the right to access investment products that are otherwise available on our Site for any reason, including, without limitation, as a result of information obtained in connection with background checks and whether or not such information is accurate, truthful, or complete.

“Know Your Customer” Inquiries

You acknowledge and agree that we and any broker-dealer, as applicable, will perform Know Your Customer (“KYC”) procedures on all subscribers, as required by internal policies and, in the case of those broker-dealers, as required by applicable FINRA guidelines and federal and state regulations for financial institutions. You agree that this is a general requirement and in compliance with regulatory rules and guidance, and in no way creates or is deemed to be any form of recommendation or advice by us. Such issuers and broker-dealers may, in their sole and absolute discretion, decline to accept any person’s request to subscribe in the offering, at any time, with no requirement for any reason or explanation; the parties agree that such decline decisions, if any, shall not constitute an opinion, recommendation, or investment, legal, or tax advice by us.

When you do, we may ask you to provide certain registration details, such as your email address or other information about yourself.

Consent to Electronic Transactions and Disclosures

Because we operate largely on the internet, it is necessary for you to consent to transact business with us online and electronically. As part of doing business with us, you must also consent to our giving you certain disclosures electronically, either via our Site or to the email address you provide to us. By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you agree to receive electronically all documents, communications, notices, contracts, and agreements, including any U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 1099 or other tax forms, schedules, or information statements, arising from or relating to your use of any of the Site or any of our Services, including any investments you may make or the servicing of any investment you may make (each, a “Disclosure”), from us or any service provider either of us may use.

Your consent to transact business with us online and electronically and to receive Disclosures electronically will be effective as long as you are a User and, if you are no longer a User, will continue until all Disclosures relevant to transactions that occurred while you were a User have been made. The decision to do business with us electronically is yours. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time. To withdraw consent, you may send a written request by e-mailing invest@usvc.com.

Electronic Funds Transers & Payment Processing

Introduction to Electronic Funds Transfers

The Company may process Electronic Funds Transfers (“EFTs”) as an efficient method to receive electronic deposits from investors, to purchase and redeem investments, and to issue refunds to investors. EFTs are processed through the vehicles described below:

  • The Automated Clearing House (“ACH”)
  • The Fedwire
  • Credit Card
  • Electronic Funds Transfers Agreement and Disclosure

This Electronic Funds Transfers Agreement and Disclosure (the “EFT Agreement”) is the contract which covers your and our rights and responsibilities concerning the EFTs services offered to you by the Company. In this EFT Agreement, the words “you,” “your,” and “yours” mean an individual who signs up on the Site and utilizes the Site to participate in the securities offering of the Issuer (and any authorized users). EFTs are electronically initiated transfers of money from your bank account or credit card account, which you utilize the Site to initiate, and which allow you to participate in the Issuer’s offering. By using the Site and Services, you agree to the terms and conditions in this EFT Agreement and any amendments for the EFTs services offered.

In order to use the payment functionality of the Site, you authorize us to share your identity, bank account data and credit card account data with [Applicable Payment Processor Third Party] for the purpose of processing your EFTs, and you are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of that data. You understand that you will access and are responsible for managing your bank account data and credit card account data through the Site. You also authorize us and [Applicable Payment Processor Third Party] to process EFTs as you direct through the Site. You acknowledge that none of [Applicable Payment Processor Third Party] or we will be liable for any loss, expense or cost arising out of EFT services provided through your use of the Site and Services, which are based on your instruction; [Applicable Payment Processor Third Party] are third party beneficiaries to this EFT Agreement.

Furthermore, by enabling an Auto-Invest Plan, you authorize preauthorized, recurring EFT debits from your Funding Source in the amounts and on the cadence you set (e.g., [monthly]) until you cancel. You may cancel a scheduled Auto-Invest Transaction any time before the applicable Auto-Invest Date through your account settings; cancellations received after the cut-off displayed in the Site may not affect the next Auto-Invest Date.

If your Funding Source or on-platform balance does not have sufficient available funds at an Auto-Invest Date, the Auto-Invest Transaction may fail (in whole or in part). We may, but are not obligated to, attempt the next scheduled Auto-Invest Transaction in accordance with your Auto-Invest Plan. After a number of consecutive failures (as disclosed in the Auto-Invest plan interface or applicable policy), we may automatically suspend the Auto-Invest Plan until you reactivate it.

Each Auto-Invest Transaction will execute at the then-available price or subscription terms offered via the Site at or around the Auto-Invest Date. Actual execution time may vary. Transactions are generally irrevocable once placed.

You agree to pay any Auto-Invest Fees shown in your Auto-Invest purchase summary or fee schedule, which we may update from time to time.

Auto-invest Service; Recurring Investments

The Auto-Invest Service allows you to schedule one or more future recurring purchases by authorizing us to initiate orders on your behalf on a [monthly] basis (or such other frequency you select when available). To activate, you must complete all required fields for Funding Source, amount, frequency, start date, investment selection, and confirm within the Site. Upon activation, you authorize us (and our payment partners) to (i) initiate preauthorized debits from your Funding Source and/or draw from your on-platform balance, and (ii) place Auto-Invest Transactions in accordance with your Auto-Invest Plan. Your Auto-Invest Instructions remain in effect until amended or canceled as provided herein.

You may modify or cancel your Auto-Invest Plan at any time before the applicable Auto-Invest Date by following the instructions in your account. Certain parameters may require you to cancel and re-create the plan. Canceling a plan stops future Auto-Invest Transactions but does not unwind or cancel any transaction already executed. Investments purchased through Auto-Invest will be allocated in accordance with your selected plan or allocation settings, subject to availability and eligibility requirements. We are not obligated to verify the accuracy of your selections and will rely on the information you provide.

If the Site or Services are unavailable on an Auto-Invest Date due to a Down Period, execution will resume when service is restored. We are not responsible for any price changes that occur during a Down Period. We may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue the Auto-Invest Service (in whole or part) at any time. We may temporarily or permanently suspend your access to the Auto-Invest Service for risk, compliance, or operational reasons, or if your account is suspended or restricted. If your account is terminated, your Auto-Invest Plan will be canceled.

The Auto-Invest Service is a tools-based, instruction-only feature and does not constitute investment, legal, tax, or financial advice or a recommendation to buy any security. You are solely responsible for determining whether any recurring investment and its parameters are appropriate for you given your circumstances and objectives.

We will maintain records of Auto-Invest Transactions and provide confirmations or statements via the Site. You agree to promptly review these items and notify us of any questions.

You agree that any dispute arising out of or in connection with our Site, Services, or these Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to conflict of laws principles that would require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction; you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Delaware for all such disputes; and for all such disputes you waive any objection asserting that that forum is inconvenient. Each party hereby waives any claim that such venue is improper or inconvenient.

If any of the provisions of these Terms of Service are held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be void, unlawful, or unenforceable, the court or tribunal may, if applicable law permits, modify the void, unlawful, or unenforceable provision(s) to the minimum extent needed to make it or them valid, legal, and enforceable, or, if the law does not permit such modification or if the court or tribunal elects not to make such modification, the void, unlawful, or unenforceable provision(s) shall be deemed severable from these Terms of Service, shall be deemed stricken from these Terms of Service, and shall not affect the validity, legality, and enforceability of any remaining provisions of the Terms of Service, which shall remain in full force and effect.

Our failure to insist on or enforce strict performance of these Terms of Service shall not be construed as a waiver by us of any provision or any right we have to enforce these Terms of Service, nor shall any course of conduct between us and you or any other party be deemed to modify any provision of these Terms of Service. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision in that or any other instance.
