We also recommend that you print a copy of this statement and keep a copy for your records.
Consent to Electronic Delivery. By clicking in the box marked “I consent” below, you hereby consent to us providing you all required Site Documents, as defined herein, electronically. This means you consent to our use of electronic communications (e.g., e-mail), electronic records, and electronic signatures rather than paper documents for all materials, notices, disclosures, account statements, communications, forms and agreements (the “Site Documents”) provided to you by the Site, or by you to the Site, including but not limited to (i) the educational materials disclosing any offer, purchase and issuance of securities through the Site, including the risks of investing on the Site or in any particular offering; (ii) the terms of use and privacy policy of the Site covering the use of the Site and collection and use of information from users of the Site; (iii) any and all current and future notices and/or disclosures provided to you by the Site and/or issuers of securities offered on the Site, as well as such other Site Documents regarding the Site’s relationship with you, issuers of securities sold on the Site, promoters of securities sold on the Site, or the Site’s affiliates or assigns; (iv) communications from you to the Site confirming your consent to notices provided by the Site and delivery of questionnaires from you to the Site demonstrating your acknowledgement of and/or agreement to disclosures provided by the Site; (v) responses to communications or reconfirmations from you or documentation provided by you; (vi) all notices regarding your Site account, any offering posted on the Site or the agreements entered into through this Site; and (vii) all changes and updates to any Site Documents. You understand that your electronic signature to any Site Document is legally binding, just as if you had signed a paper document. You also understand that by consenting to electronic delivery, we will not be mailing you copies of any Site Documents that we have provided to you electronically.
Notice: You accept that such electronic communications provided to you by the Site are reasonable and proper notice, for the purpose of any and all applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations, including, but not limited to, the Regulation Crowdfunding Rules promulgated pursuant to Title III of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, and agree that the electronic format of the Site Documents fully satisfies any requirement that such communications be provided to you in writing or in a format that you may keep.
Communications shall be deemed delivered to you when sent by the Site and not when received.
Updating Your Information: It is your responsibility to provide us with a true, accurate and complete e-mail address or other contact information in order for us to provide you with documents and information electronically. If you should change your e-mail address in the future, you agree that you will immediately update your account information and advise the Site of any such change.
Obtaining Paper Copies of Documents or Notices: If, after providing your consent, you wish to receive paper copies of certain documents required to be provided to you by law, you may request that a copy be mailed to you by contacting us at the following email address: compliance@rialtomarkets.com. It is your responsibility to provide us with a true, accurate and complete mailing address in order for us to provide you with any such documents by mail.
Please note that simply requesting certain documents be mailed to you will not withdraw your consent to receiving any other documents or information from us electronically. Your consent to our providing you with documents and information electronically will remain valid unless and until you have withdrawn your consent.
Hardware and System Requirements: In order to use electronic signatures and to receive or deliver electronic documents or communications, you must have: (i) access to a computer or other electronic device that can connect to the Internet; (ii) an email address and, when applicable, email software; (iii) web browsing software that enables you to access the Internet such as Internet Explorer or Google Chrome and, when applicable, is capable of supporting encrypted communications; (iv) software that enables you to receive and view Portable Document Format (PDF) files, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader (available for a free download at www.adobe.com); and (iv) access to sufficient storage capacity for maintaining records of Site Documents or the ability to print such records on paper by having a printer connected to your computer or other electronic device.
