An IRS Form refers to any Form 1099, Schedule K-1 or other Form, Schedule or information statement, including corrections of such documents, required to be provided pursuant to U.S. Internal Revenue Service rules and regulations and that may be provided electronically (each, an “IRS Form”), provided that you consent to such electronic delivery, as more fully described in the subscription document(s) applicable to you. You will keep us informed of any change in your email or home mailing address so that you can continue to receive all Disclosures in a timely fashion. If your registered email address changes, you must notify us of the change by sending an email to hello@nycegroup.co.

We may discontinue electronic provision of Disclosures at any time in our sole discretion, in which case we will provide you with paper copies.
Scope of Consent: Your consent to receive Disclosures and transact business electronically, and our agreement to do so, applies to any transactions to which such Disclosures relate, whether between you and O Tiny House or between you and our affiliates. Your consent will remain in effect for so long as you are a User and, if you are no longer a User, will continue until such a time as all Disclosures relevant to transactions that occurred while you were a User have been made, subject to any special rules regarding consent to electronic delivery of IRS Forms, as more fully described in the subscription document(s) applicable to you.

Securities Offering Matters
General. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms of Use, in no event shall anything in these Terms of Use be deemed to be a waiver, and we will not assert there has been a waiver, that would not be permissible under Section 14 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Section 29(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or any other applicable provision of federal and state securities laws.
The securities offered on the Site have not been registered under the Securities Act, in reliance on the exemptive provisions of (i) Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder (“Regulation D” or “private placements”), and/or (ii) Regulation A promulgated under the Securities Act (“Regulation A”). 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 this Site.
Persons who are resident outside of the United States are not allowed access to investment opportunities on the Site. Our 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 O Tiny House is not authorized to provide such information or services.
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 O Tiny House without reference to any particular user’s investment requirements or financial situation, and potential investors are encouraged to consult with professional tax, legal and financial advisors before making any investment.
YOU ARE URGED TO REVIEW OUR FULL DISCLOSURE AND OFFERING CIRCULARS WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES OFFERINGS ON THE SITE
Eligibility.
Private Placements. Only \”accredited investors\” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D are authorized to access such services and web pages relating to offerings conducted under Regulation D (such persons being \”Accredited Investors\”). 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.
Regulation A. \”Tier II\” Investment opportunities registered pursuant to Regulation A of the Securities Act, including real estate investment trusts and other funds sponsored by one of Our Affiliates, are offered only to \”Qualified Purchasers\” as defined in Regulation A. \”Qualified Purchasers\” include: (i) Accredited Investors and (ii) all other investors so long as their investment in one of our offerings does not represent more than 10% of the greater of their annual income or net worth (for natural persons), or 10% of the greater of annual revenue or net assets at fiscal year-end (for non-natural persons).
Covered Persons. You may not become a beneficial owner of 20% or more of any issuer’s outstanding voting equity securities (an “Issuer Covered Person”) without becoming subject to certain “bad actor” disqualifying events described in Rule 506(d) of Regulation D or Rule 262(a) of Regulation A (a “Disqualifying Event”). You represent that you are not subject to a Disqualifying Event and that you will promptly notify O Tiny House in writing should any Disqualifying Events be applicable to you. O Tiny House is not liable or responsible for making Rule 506(e) under Regulation D or Rule 262(e) disclosures under Regulation A, nor for determining whether any Issuer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualifying Event.
Documentation. You may be required to provide supporting documents to issuers that provide proof that you are an Accredited Investor or Qualified Purchaser and as to your status with respect to being an Issuer Covered Person. Such proof will require your completion of a subscription agreement and may require completion of a questionnaire and satisfactory background information screening. Your failure to provide any information and documentation requested to confirm your status will be cause for O Tiny House to immediately discontinue your use of the Site.
Investment Adviser Matters
O Tiny House IS NOT REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION AS AN INVESTMENT ADVISER UNDER THE INVESTMENT ADVISERS ACT OF 1940 AND, AS SUCH, IS NOT ENGAGED IN THE BUSINESS OF PROVIDING ADVICE TO OTHERS OR ISSUING REPORTS OR ANALYSES REGARDING SECURITIES FOR COMPENSATION.
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS, AND ANY EXPECTED RETURNS OR HYPOTHETICAL PROJECTIONS MAY NOT REFLECT ACTUAL FUTURE PERFORMANCE. FURTHERMORE, PAST RETURNS MAY REFLECT THE PERFORMANCE OF ASSETS FOR A FINITE TIME, OR DURING A PERIOD OF EXTREME MARKET ACTIVITY. ALL INVESTMENTS INVOLVE RISK AND MAY RESULT IN PARTIAL OR TOTAL LOSS. There can be no assurance that an investment mix or any projected or actual performance shown on the Site will lead to the expected results shown or perform in any predictable manner. It should not be assumed that investors will experience returns in the future, if any, comparable to those shown or that any or all investors on the Site experienced such returns.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER OR EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU OR BE ENFORCEABLE WITH RESPECT TO YOU. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THE SITE OR WITH THESE TERMS OF USE, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USE OF THE SITE.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the O Tiny House, its affiliates, licensors, and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys\’ fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms of Use or your use of the Site, including, but not limited to, your User Contributions, any use of the Site\’s content, services, and products other than as expressly authorized in these Terms of Use, or your use of any information obtained from the Site. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
All matters relating to the Site and these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Wyoming without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Wyoming or any other jurisdiction).
Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Use or the Site shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Wyoming, in each case located in the City of Cheyenne, WY, United States and County of Cheyenne. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.
ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE SITE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
Dispute Resolution by Arbitration
You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and O Tiny House, whether arising out of or relating to this Terms of Use (including any alleged breach thereof), the Site, any advertising, any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into this Terms of Use, you and O Tiny House are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
YOU AND O Tiny House AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND O Tiny House AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.
Arbitration shall be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, applying Wyoming law. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, O Tiny House agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
Any changes to the dispute resolution provisions set forth herein will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have received actual notice on or before the date the change is posted on the Site.
Miscellaneous
Waiver. No waiver by the O Tiny House of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the O Tiny House to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision
Severability. If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.
