Certain web pages of the Site are available only to Users who are Accredited Investors as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D adopted pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (“Accredited Investors”) with a valid User ID and password. In general, to qualify as an Accredited Investor, individuals must have a net worth of more than $1 million (excluding their primary residence), or gross income for each of the last two years of at least $200,000 ($300,000 jointly with their spouse) with the expectation of a similarly qualifying income during the current year. By registering for, accessing, browsing, and/or otherwise using the services and/or web pages for which access is restricted to Accredited Investors, you represent and agree that you are an Accredited Investor. In order for HiTech CRE to confirm that your representation regarding your status as an Accredited Investor is accurate when made and continues to be accurate from time to time, you agree to provide HiTech CRE with all information and documentation reasonably required by HiTech CRE to verify your status as an Accredited Investor, including (without limitation) by delivering a completed Accredited Investor questionnaire, tax returns, brokerage statements, bank statements, resumes and other private financial information. HiTech CRE is not responsible for verifying that any investor or User is an Accredited Investor beyond reviewing information submitted directly to HiTech CRE. Should you fail to provide any requested information and documentation that confirms your status as an Accredited Investor, HiTech CRE may immediately suspend, block or otherwise discontinue your access and use of the Site or the Service. HiTech CRE may change its eligibility criteria at any time, for any reason, and without prior notice. Should you cease to be an Accredited Investor at any time, you agree to immediately notify HiTech CRE and to refrain from accessing such restricted portions of the Site and/or the Service. Further, because access to the restricted portions of the Site is limited by applicable law to Accredited Investors, you agree that you will not allow anyone to access such restricted portions of the Site, or share or disclose any information obtained through restricted portions of the Site with anyone, regardless of whether you believe such person or entity to also be an Accredited Investor.
Persons who are resident outside of the United States are allowed access to the investment opportunities available through the Site and/or the Service only if such access does not violate the laws of their country of residence. HiTech CRE’s services (and certain pages of the Site) that relate to the viewing of actual investment opportunities or to making investments in the securities offered therein may not be used by any person or entity in any jurisdiction where the provision or use thereof would be contrary to applicable laws, rules or regulations of any governmental authority or where HiTech CRE or North Capital (as defined below) is not authorized to provide such information or services.

The Service and securities offerings on the Site are available only to Accredited Investors who understand the economic and investment risks associated with private real estate investments and are familiar with and are willing to bear the consequences of that risk. You acknowledge and agree that you have significant experience investing in investments of the type offered through the Site, you understand the risks associated with the investments offered through the Site, and you are comfortable with the risk of losing your entire investment invested through the Service. You further acknowledge and agree that investing in private placements carries with it low liquidity concerns and long-term commitments, that such private placements may involve the receipt by investors of restricted securities that may be subject to holding period requirements, and that the securities sold through private placements are not publicly traded. If you are using the Site on behalf of any entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to accept this Agreement on such entity’s behalf, and that such entity agrees to indemnify HiTech CRE as set forth in this Agreement.
You acknowledge and agree that the value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise, that past performance is not a guarantee of future performance, and that investment products offered on the Site are not FDIC insured, may lose value, and are not bank guaranteed. You represent and agree that you understand that HiTech CRE does not guarantee the performance of any offerings made through the Site or the Service and any and all projections, estimates, and expectations for investments offered through the Site or the Service are merely opinions and should not be relied on for any purpose whatsoever. Investors are solely responsible for conducting any legal, accounting or due diligence review. The contents of the Site do not constitute financial, legal, or tax advice and you should obtain such advice solely from your advisers before deciding to invest. HiTech CRE does not endorse any investments and shall not be responsible in any way for any transactions you enter into with other Users. You agree that HiTech CRE and its affiliates, officers, directors, partners, agents or employees will not be liable for any loss or damages of any sort incurred as a result of any interactions between you and other Users.
Investment overviews on the Site contain summaries of the purpose and principal business terms of the investment opportunities. 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 relating to such investment opportunity. The information contained in the Site has been prepared by HiTech CRE without reference to any particular User’s investment requirements or financial situation, and potential investors are encouraged to consult with their professional tax, legal and financial advisors before making any investment.
The securities offered on the Site have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, in reliance on the exemptive provisions of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D and Rule 506, and/or Regulation S, promulgated thereunder. Securities sold through private placements are restricted and not publicly traded, and are therefore illiquid. Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission or other regulatory authority has approved, passed upon or endorsed the merits of any offering on the Site. HiTech CRE is not a registered broker-dealer, funding portal, or investment advisor and does not conduct any activity that would require such registration. Equity securities are offered through North Capital Private Securities Corporation (“North Capital”), member FINRA/SIPC. Individual personnel of HiTech CRE may become registered representatives of North Capital. North Capital has developed a business continuity plan on how they will respond to events that significantly disrupt business. North Capital is located at 2825 E. Cottonwood Pkwy, Suite 500, Salt Lake City, UT 84121, tel: (888) 841-9984.

You represent that you are not subject to a Disqualifying Event and that you will promptly notify HiTech CRE in writing should any Disqualifying Events be applicable to you. HiTech CRE is not liable or responsible for making Rule 506(e) disclosures, nor for determining whether any Issuer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualifying Event.

These Terms shall not be assignable by you, either in whole or in part. HiTech CRE reserves the right to assign its rights and obligations under these Terms without restriction. The failure of HiTech CRE to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of such right or provision may only become effective upon written agreement signed by a duly authorized representative of HiTech CRE. The section titles in this Agreement and the Privacy Policy are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. If for any reason any provision of these Terms, or a portion thereof, shall be unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of these Terms, and the remainder of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect. If any provision of these Terms shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. A printed version of these Terms shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings.
