Sponsor Terms

• Placement—the listed placement and access you buy.
• Term—the length of your Placement, as set out in your order (for example, a one-week placement, or a month-to-month placement).
• Your order—your purchase at checkout: your Placement, your Term, your fee, and whether your fee recurs. Your order confirmation records these. Where these Terms refer to your order, your Term, or your fee, they mean what your checkout specified.

Altinvest is a marketing platform for offering sponsors. Your fee buys your offering a listed placement on Altinvest and access to our investor audience.

Your placement includes:

• Listing on the Altinvest platform, discoverable by investors browsing offerings and by investors filtering on their stated preferences.
• Inclusion in communications Altinvest sends to its investor audience.
• Introductions to investors who ask to speak with you about your offering.

We determine how your offering and Altinvest are promoted, through which channels, and how the placement is delivered across your Term. We do not guarantee that any investor will be interested in your offering, or that any particular number of meetings will result.

Your Placement runs for the Term set out in your order, beginning at Launch. Your offering stays listed on Altinvest for that Term.

Launch means the date we begin investor outreach on your offering, which we announce to you in writing. Your Term is measured from Launch.

Renewal. If your order recurs, your Placement renews for successive Terms until you cancel. You may cancel at any time, effective at the end of the Term you have paid for; we may do the same, on written notice. If a payment fails, we give you seven (7) days to restore it before removing your offering from placement. If your order is for a single Term, your Placement ends when that Term ends, and continues when you purchase again.

Your Placement runs continuously through your Term. We may offer a pause as a courtesy, at our discretion.

Your fee is identified at checkout and due in advance, in U.S. dollars, in the amount set out in your order.

Pricing. Your fee does not vary with any investor’s wealth, accreditation status, investment capacity or check size, nor with whether any investor invests, how much, or any capital you raise.

If your order recurs, you authorize Altinvest to charge your payment method each Term in advance until you cancel.

Fees are non-refundable. Your fee buys placement, access, and marketing services for your Term, not guaranteed meetings. No refund is owed for the Term in progress if we terminate for cause (see Section 8). If your order recurs, cancellation stops future charges and takes effect at the end of the Term you have paid for.

By purchasing, you represent and warrant that:

• You are authorized to enter into this agreement on behalf of the offering sponsor.
• Your offering complies with the federal and state securities laws that apply to it, including Regulation D, Rule 506(c), and Blue Sky rules, and with anti-fraud, advertising, and solicitation rules.
• Your offering is conducted under Rule 506(c), and you acknowledge that it will be publicly listed on Altinvest and generally solicited.
• The facts you give us about your offering are accurate and not misleading, and you hold the rights to any materials you provide.
• You are solely responsible for verifying the accreditation status of any investor introduced through Altinvest before accepting any commitment.
• You will tell us whether you are an investment adviser registered with the SEC or any state. If you are, you are responsible for your own compliance obligations that arise from our promotion of your offering, including under Advisers Act Rule 206(4)-1.
• If your offering or materials require specific legal disclaimers, you are responsible for providing them to us, and they will be carried through on the materials we promote.

You will confirm what happened on calls we book for you, using the post-call note in your dashboard.

We are not a registered broker-dealer, investment adviser, or securities exchange. We are paid for placement, access, and marketing services, and we commit that:

• We do not give investment advice or make investment recommendations to investors.
• We do not rank, rate, or recommend offerings against one another.
• We do not negotiate the terms of your offering or participate in negotiations between you and any investor.
• We do not handle investor funds or securities, and we do not prepare, deliver, or process subscription documents.
• We receive no compensation contingent on any investment or on capital you raise, and we take no equity, carried interest, warrants, or success-based compensation in any sponsor or offering.
• We do not charge investors.

No endorsement. Neither inclusion in Altinvest nor promotion through it constitutes an endorsement of any sponsor, offering, or investment. Investors are responsible for their own due diligence.

Your offering page. You supply the facts about your offering and you approve the offering page before it goes live. A reply of “approved” is enough. We will ask again when those facts change.

Everything else we make. Your approved page is the source of truth for everything we publish about your offering. We create the materials that carry those facts—advertising, emails, listing copy—and we do not need your approval for each asset. We will not alter the facts you gave us, add figures, or describe your offering in terms your approved page does not support. We choose the creative and the channels. Our advertising and promotion of the Altinvest platform is ours alone.

Your marks. You grant Altinvest a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use your name, logo, marks, and materials for these purposes during the term. You may revoke it in writing, in which case we stop within five (5) business days and your Placement ends without refund.

Promoting Altinvest. Separately, you grant Altinvest permission to reference your offering and your experience working with us to promote Altinvest itself. You may decline or revoke this in writing without affecting your placement, and we stop within five (5) business days.

We may suspend or terminate your Placement without refund if:

• You provide false or misleading information in your offering or marketing materials.
• Your offering is the subject of a regulatory inquiry, enforcement action, or investor complaint that we determine, in our reasonable discretion, may harm Altinvest’s reputation or relationship with our investor audience.
• You materially breach these Terms.
• You engage in conduct that disparages Altinvest, its investors, or other sponsors.

Investors introduced through Altinvest are members of Altinvest’s investor audience and remain so. Your Placement gives you the right to pursue an investor relationship you’ve built—including with your current and future offerings, whether or not those future offerings run through Altinvest. This right is non-exclusive: it does not restrict Altinvest’s own communications with its audience, including that same investor, which occur under the consent investors provide when they join.

Investors who sign up for Altinvest expressly consent at the time of joining to receive communications from sponsors via email, SMS, and phone calls regarding sponsor offerings. When an investor books a call with you or expresses interest in your offering through Altinvest, you may communicate with that investor through these channels in accordance with that consent. In doing so, you agree:

• To comply with all applicable email, telecom, and electronic communication laws, including the CAN-SPAM Act and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)—providing clear sender identification in every communication, a working unsubscribe or opt-out mechanism, and honoring all opt-out requests promptly (within ten (10) business days for email; immediately for SMS and phone).
• Not to sell, transfer, license, or share investor contact data with any third party for any reason.
• Not to use investor data for marketing offerings or services unrelated to your firm or your active offerings.
• If an investor opts out of your communications on any channel, you must remove them from that channel and not re-engage them through Altinvest’s platform.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Altinvest’s total cumulative liability under these Terms is limited to thirty-five percent (35%) of the fee you paid for the Term in which the claim arose. Altinvest is not liable for any indirect, consequential, incidental, or special damages, including lost profits, lost capital raises, or business interruption.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Altinvest, The Digital Collective Corporation, and their officers, employees, and affiliates from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from: (a) your offering or any securities you offer or sell; (b) your marketing materials or representations to investors; (c) your breach of these Terms; or (d) your violation of applicable law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration in California, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in court for IP infringement or breach of confidentiality.

We may publish updated versions of these Terms from time to time at altinvest.club/sponsor-terms. The version you accept at purchase governs that purchase. Any purchase you make after we post an update is governed by the version then current. We maintain a record of the version you agreed to.

These Terms, together with your order, constitute the entire agreement between you and Altinvest regarding your Placement and supersede any prior agreements or understandings.
