Welcome to StartupSteroid, Inc. and our subsidiaries and affiliates (Startup Steroid Deal Flow, Inc., collectively, "StartupSteroid", "us", or "we"). StartupSteroid owns and hosts a self-service online platform at https://startupsteroid.com ("Platform" or "the Platform"). These Terms of Service govern your use of the Platform and certain StartupSteroid services (the "Services"). When you use the Platform, you agree to and accept all of the terms and conditions herein, including our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
The Platform and your Account
About StartupSteroid. StartupSteroid is not registered as a securities broker-dealer or an investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) or any state securities regulatory authority. StartupSteroid merely operates the Platform upon which fund managers, investment advisors, issuers, and investors can provide fund and investment related information, seek and find investments and investors, collaborate, and share information in a secure, online environment. Such investments may include startups, real estate, venture funds, and other alternative investment assets. Issuers may list securities on the Platform in which investors may invest in these securities. The platform allows issuers and investors to facilitate payments and help track investment transaction history. StartupSteroid does not hold funds or securities on behalf of any issuer or investor. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, communications from StartupSteroid are intended solely for informational purposes and should not be construed as investment advice and are not meant to be a solicitation or recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any securities mentioned. At present, StartupSteroid is exempt from federal registration as an investment adviser because it does not provide "continuous and regular supervisory or management services" contemplated by the definition of "investment adviser" under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
Eligibility. To be eligible to access our Platform or use our Services, you must be at least 18 years old. Each investment product and service referenced on the Platform is intended to be made available only to investors, corporations, or other legal entities and is only available in jurisdictions where that investment product or service may lawfully be made available. You agree that you have all requisite authority to enter into and use the Services contemplated by these Terms of Service.
About Your StartupSteroid Account. In order to access certain features of or to post content on the Platform, you must register to create an Account ("Account"). You must complete the registration process by providing us with current, complete and accurate information. You will also choose a password.

Your Information. You agree that the information you provide during the registration process is current, accurate, truthful, and complete, and you will regularly update this information to maintain its completeness and accuracy.

Further, you are fully responsible for all activities occurring under your Account that result from your failure to use or maintain appropriate security measures. If you become aware of any suspicious or unauthorized conduct concerning your Account, you agree to contact us immediately. We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to promptly notify us of such conduct.
Verification. To help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires StartupSteroid to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an Account or is considered a control person for an Account opened for a corporation, partnership, trust, or other legal entity. Legal entities may need to provide other information, such as a principal place of business, tax identification number, articles of incorporation, partnership agreement, trust agreement, or a government-issued business license. You agree to provide StartupSteroid with all required information or documentation that allows us to verify your identity. Any required information you provide to StartupSteroid may be subject to verification, including through the sharing of such information with third parties for this purpose. Your Account may be rejected, restricted, or closed if StartupSteroid cannot verify required information.
Privacy. To create your Account, we may ask for certain information that allows us to comply with certain rules and regulations related to, among other things, suitability of investments and anti-money laundering. You can access and modify the information you provide and elect not to receive certain communications by signing into your Account. For a complete description of how we use and protect your personal information, see our Privacy Policy located at [WEBSITE].

You also represent that, to the best of your knowledge, you are not employed by or acting as agent of any government, government-controlled entity or government corporation restricted under OFAC. You understand that if your application violates OFAC guidelines, your Account may be declined or restricted from certain activity.

StartupSteroid imposes minimum and maximum transaction amounts for each investment and may change those minimum and maximum amounts from time to time.

Electronic Fund Transfers include such electronic transactions as direct deposits or withdrawals of funds, transfers initiated via telephone, website, or mobile application. Authorization for a single Electronic Fund Transfer shall be evidenced by your acceptance of the following (or substantially similar) verbiage at the time the transfer is initiated:
I authorize StartupSteroid to debit the account indicated for the amount noted on today’s date. I will not dispute StartupSteroid debiting my account, so long as the transaction corresponds to the terms in this online form and my agreement with StartupSteroid.
Preauthorized Electronic Fund Transfer Definition. An Electronic Fund Transfer that you have authorized in advance to recur at substantially regular intervals; for example, direct deposits into or withdrawal of funds out of your account. Authorization for a recurring Electronic Fund Transfer shall be evidenced by your acceptance of the following (or substantially similar) verbiage at the time the transfer is initiated
I authorize StartupSteroid to debit the account indicated for the recurring transactions according to the online form and my agreement with StartupSteroid I will not dispute StartupSteroid so long as the transactions correspond to such terms. This payment authorization is valid and will remain effective unless I cancel this authorization by emailing StartupSteroid at help@StartupSteroid.com at least three (3) business days in advance.
Authorized Transfers Liability. You are liable for all Electronic Fund Transfers that you authorize, whether directly or indirectly.
Unauthorized Transfers Liability. Inform StartupSteroid immediately if you believe your account or PIN or access information is lost or stolen or has been or may be subject to unauthorized Electronic Fund Transfers.

StartupSteroid can be reached by telephone at (833) 266-5556, email at [email protected], or via support message.
If you tell StartupSteroid within two (2) business days after learning of the loss or theft of your account access device, or after learning of any other unauthorized transfers from your account involving your account access device, you can lose no more than $50 if Electronic Fund Transfers are made without your permission. For these transactions, if you DO NOT tell StartupSteroid within two (2) business days after learning of the loss, theft, or unauthorized use, and it can be established that the bank could have prevented the unauthorized transfer(s) if you had told them in time, you could lose as much as $500.
Also, if your periodic account statement shows unauthorized transfers and you DO NOT tell StartupSteroid within sixty (60) days after the statement was delivered to you, you may not get back any money you lose after the sixty (60) day period if StartupSteroid can prove that the bank could have prevented the unauthorized transfer(s) if you had told them in time.

All arbitration proceedings will be held in the English language, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties.
