You agree to abide by any limitations specified in these Terms or posted through the Services. Any use of the Services that is not expressly permitted by these Terms is prohibited.
The Services are controlled within the United States of America and are directed to individuals residing in the United States. Those who choose to access or use the Services from locations outside of the United States do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws if and to the extent local laws are applicable. Brandjectory does not represent that the Services are appropriate outside the United States of America. Brandjectory reserves the right to limit the availability of the Services for any person, geographic area or jurisdiction at any time in its sole discretion.
3. Accredited Investors
Brandjectory enables Investors to complete self-accreditation of their status as an “Accredited Investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, but Brandjectory does not take any steps whatsoever to certify or verify the self-accreditation of any of its Investors. All Users of the Brandjectory Services are advised that Brandjectory does not take any steps to verify the information provided to us by any User and does not and cannot represent nor guarantee that any Investor actually qualifies as an Accredited Investor. Each Brand is solely responsible for conducting diligence on any Investor with whom that Brand interacts through the Brandjectory Services. Further, some of Brandjectory’s Users may be located outside of the United States. Brandjectory does not verify the compliance of any such Users with the applicable securities laws in their home jurisdiction and relies solely on their self-certification that they are in compliance with applicable laws.
4. Terms of Use
You must not use the Services for any unlawful purpose. All information you provide through your Brandjectory account must be truthful, accurate and current. You shall correct any information that is no longer accurate or current or label as such as within the contents of your Profile contents. You must not use the Services to “stalk” or otherwise harass another User or any other person. You must not impersonate any person or entity or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity.
Any funds raised through contact with Investors occurs outside the platform and is between a Brand and Investor, and the Services do not report any tax or regulatory information to any taxing or regulating authority for any User. The beneficiary (i.e. Brand) who will receive funds and Investor(s) who engage in a private transaction, are directly and only responsible for properly completing tax and regulatory documents if required by the relevant taxing and regulating authorities. Users accept the liability associated with proper tax and regulatory reporting and are solely responsible for all interaction with taxing and regulating authorities. Agreeing to these Terms places sole responsibility for proper taxing and regulatory reporting upon the User.
Both Brand and Investor agree that any completed investment transaction resulting from any engagement facilitated by, begun, or continued via the Brandjectory platform (including or through any Brandjectory platform functionality, event, webinar or session) must be reported to Brandjectory within 60 days of transaction close, for use in its marketing and other purposes under the conditions and confidentiality approach as described in the Privacy Policy (https://www.brandjectory.com/privacy-policy).

any form of “security” (as such term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933);
any form of financial incentive or participation in any profit sharing;
any controlled substance or drug paraphernalia;
any weapons, ammunition and related accessories;
any pornography, sexually explicit materials or products that may be involved in the exploitation of minors;

Brands agree to perform on any promise and/or commitment to Investors. Brandjectory does not recognize any third-party, employee and/or agency affiliated with the Profile as a Profile Owner. If a Profile Owner is unable to perform on any promise and/or commitment to Investor(s), the Profile Owner will solely be responsible for working with the Investor(s) to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution. Brandjectory is under no obligation to become involved in disputes between Brands and Investors, or Users and any third-party. In addition, Brandjectory is under no obligation to become involved in disputes regarding the determination of the rightful Profile Owner and will not be obligated to make any changes to Profile Owner accounts or transfer of ownership. In the event of any dispute, such as a Profile Owner’s alleged failure to comply with the Terms or alleged failure in fulfillment of information presented or Product sample, we may provide the Profile Owner’s contact information to the Investor so that the two parties may independently resolve their dispute.
Investors are solely responsible for asking questions and investigating Brands and Profiles to the extent they feel is necessary before making a connection or engaging in any or all business activities, including investing. All subsequent business interactions between brands and investors are made voluntarily and at the sole discretion and risk of the users involved. Brandjectory does not guarantee that any investments made will be used as promised or that the Profile will achieve its goals. Investors are solely responsible for determining how to treat their investments for tax purposes.
If Brandjectory determines that there has been an abuse of these Terms, Brandjectory reserves the right to terminate Brandjectory accounts and remove Profiles for any abuse of these Terms. For all disputes, Investors should contact the Profile Owner directly.

20. LIMITATION ON TIME TO COMMENCE ACTION, JURISDICTION AND ARBITRATION
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT OUTLINES CERTAIN RIGHTS THAT YOU ARE WAIVING OR LIMITING BY USING OUR SERVICES. REMEMBER, THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS, INCLUDING THE PROVISIONS RELATING TO GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION. THIS SECTION WAIVES THE FOLLOWING RIGHTS THAT YOU MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE:
The right to participate in any form of class or representative claim;
The right to a jury trial;
The right to have the law of any jurisdiction, other than that of the state of Michigan, apply to a dispute between you and Brandjectory arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services;
The right to address the dispute in any jurisdiction outside of Michigan;
The right to engage in discovery except as provided in arbitration proceedings under the rules of the American Association of Arbitration (“AAA”);
The right to certain remedies and forms of relief that you or we would have in court, but not in Arbitration.
You agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms and our Services must commence by you within one (1) year after the cause of action arose; otherwise, your ability to bring any case or cause or action against Brandjectory shall be permanently barred. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the period during which Brandjectory may bring any cause of action arising out of this Agreement against you. These Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan and the United States of America, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of each party and its successors, assigns and agents. Brandjectory may assign its rights and duties under this Agreement to any of its subsidiaries or affiliates without giving you notice or to any other entity upon prior written notice to you.
Binding Arbitration. Any dispute or claim between you and Brandjectory, arising out of, or relating in any way to, the Terms, the Services, or your use of the Services (“Dispute”) shall be resolved exclusively by final, binding individual arbitration, rather than in court. By virtue of this Agreement you and Brandjectory are each giving up the right to go to court and have any Dispute heard by a judge or jury. The provisions of this Section shall constitute your and Brandjectory’s written agreement to arbitrate Disputes under the Federal Arbitration Act (“Arbitration Agreement”). The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and conducted before a single arbitrator pursuant to its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, available at http://www.adr.org or by calling 800-778-7879. The arbitrator will apply and be bound by this Arbitration Agreement, apply applicable law and the facts, and issue a reasoned award. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. All arbitrations are to be conducted in Michigan. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, no class actions, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. An arbitrator, however, can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court, including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages, and must follow these Terms as a court would.
No Class Action Matters. You and Brandjectory expressly agree that each shall bring any dispute, in any amount, against the other, in each other’s respective individual capacities and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, representative proceeding or as an association. In addition, we each agree that all disputes shall be arbitrated only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. The arbitrator does not have the power to vary these provisions.
These Terms, your access to and use of the Services shall be governed and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of the State of Michigan or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any Dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court, shall be resolved in the state or federal courts of the State of Michigan and United States, respectively, sitting in the State of Michigan.
21. Severability
If any term, clause or provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable then that term, clause or provision will be severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining part of that term, clause or provision, or any other term, clause or provision of these Terms. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, disclaimer and any other legal notices published by Brandjectory on the Brandjectory Platform, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Brandjectory concerning the Brandjectory Platform. If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any term of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Brandjectory’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
