1. Scope of Services
The Realio Platform provides services (“Services”) designed to facilitate the offering and sale of private securities (the “Offering”) of issuers (“Issuers”). The Services also assist Issuers and investors through the use of blockchain protocols and by providing tools to facilitate peer-to-peer transactions. This is done through our implementation of a proprietary standard to produce a token that provides permissioned smart contracts that algorithmically enforce transfer restrictions with regard to proposed securities transfers (a “Token”). The Services form only a part of the services required for an Issuer to complete its Offering. In connection with the Offering, the Issuer will enter into an agreement with other third-party providers to perform the other functions of the Offering (“Issuer Vendors”), including but not limited to, those that provide (a) services to receive, return, custody or escrow cryptocurrency or fiat currency for Registered Users (defined below), (b) services of any affiliated broker-dealer (“Broker-Dealer Affiliate”), including placement agent services, and (c) services to convert the cryptocurrency into fiat currency. In connection with providing the Services to you, we also engage Realio Vendors (as defined below) to provide certain services to us.
2. Account Registration and Communication Preferences
To access and use the Services, you will need to first register for an account (“Account”) to become a registered user (“Registered User”). The process to become a Registered User includes you providing identification and Offering qualification information. By creating an Account, you agree to (a) provide accurate, current and complete Account information about yourself and to obtain all necessary consents from third parties prior to providing any personal information about such third parties or to otherwise establish a valid legal basis for the provision of such personal information to us under applicable law, (b) maintain and promptly update your Account information, (c) maintain the security of your password and accept all risks of unauthorized access to your Account and the information you provide to us, and (d) immediately notify us if you discover or otherwise suspect any security breaches related to the Realio Platform or to your Account.

- Before you become a Registered User, Realio or its third party vendors (“Realio Vendors”) will run identity verification and compliance checks (including, without limitation, any checks we deem reasonably necessary to assess legal compliance (including the risk of your involvement in money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, or any other financial crime)) pursuant to applicable laws and Issuer requirements for accreditation based on the information provided by you during the user registration process (“Verification Checks”). The results of Verification Checks may be used by Realio, and as applicable, Issuers and their placement agents, to determine your eligibility to use our Services and participate in an Offering. Realio may (but is under no obligation) to re-confirm Verification Checks or independently review the results of any Verification Checks performed by third parties, and Realio is not liable for any errors therein. You hereby consent and authorize Realio to delegate the authorizations you provide to Realio to Issuers, to their placement agents, and to Realio Vendors, as Realio deems necessary or desirable to provide the Services to you.

Realio reserves the right to provide to you documents in electronic format and to collect signatures in electronic format.

13. No Investment or Financial Advice
-
- Realio’s role in the Offering is limited to providing the Services. Realio is not a broker-dealer, a national securities exchange, an alternative trading system, or other regulated securities market. In the future, Realio may operate with a Broker-Dealer Affiliate, but this Agreement solely applies to Realio and not to any Broker-Dealer Affiliates.
- Realio is not an issuer of securities. By providing its Services to you as a Registered User or Issuer, Realio is not endorsing or recommending the Issuer’s securities or the services of any broker or dealer. No aspect of the Realio Platform is designed or intended to provide financial, legal, tax or investment advice or recommendations. You are solely responsible for determining whether any investment, investment strategy or related transaction is appropriate for you based on your personal investment objectives, financial circumstances and risk tolerance. You should consult your legal or tax professional about your investment goals. The availability of the Realio Platform does not constitute an offer or an invitation to purchase securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer or invitation is not authorized or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or invitation. Users must inform themselves about such restrictions and are solely responsible for complying with the same.
- Realio is not responsible for sustained casualties due to vulnerability or to any kind of failure, abnormal behavior of software (e.g., wallet, smart contract), blockchains or any other features of cryptocurrency or the Tokens. Realio is not responsible for casualties due to late report by developers or representatives (or no report at all) of any issues with the blockchain supporting cryptocurrency including forks, technical node issues or any other issues that result in losses or damages.
- Nothing in this Agreement shall exclude or limit liability of either party for fraud, death or bodily injury caused by negligence, violation of laws, or any other activity that cannot be limited or excluded by legitimate means.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties in contracts with consumers, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.
14. Assumption of Risk in Blockchain Services
You accept and acknowledge:
- Should you choose to purchase securities using cryptocurrency, you are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your cryptocurrency transactions. Neither Realio nor any affiliate, employees, officers, directors, consultants or equity holders are responsible for determining the taxes that apply to cryptocurrency transactions.
- There are risks associated with using an internet-based blockchain protocol, including (but not limited to) the risk of hardware, software and internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information stored within your Account. You accept and acknowledge that Realio will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
- Additional risks will be explained in any offering materials related to any investment on the Realio Platform. You agree to consider these risks and to invest only if you’re willing to assume such risks.
- The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and tokens is changing rapidly and uncertain. New regulations and policies, including any applicable international or domestic laws may materially and adversely affect the Services.
- If a Registered User fails a Verification Check conducted by Realio Vendors or is rejected by an Issuer with respect to an Offering for any or no reason, Realio takes no responsibility for any resultant losses to Registered Users. Realio is not liable for any act or omissions of any Issuer or any Issuer Vendors and in the event that an Issuer decides to cancel an Offering or any associated sale of securities.
15. Limitation of Liability; Release
To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will Realio be liable to you or to any third party for any lost profit or any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special or punitive damages arising from this agreement, including (without limitation) the Realio Platform, Services, Tokens, Realio products, third-party websites and the Realio Content, or for any damages related to loss of revenue, loss of profits, loss of business or anticipated savings, loss of use, loss of goodwill, or loss of data, and whether caused by tort (including negligence), breach of contract or otherwise, even if foreseeable and even if Realio has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Access to and use of the Realio Platform, the Realio Content, and the Services are at your own discretion and risk, and you will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data resulting therefrom. The aforementioned statement is also true with respect to third-party websites and products.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the maximum aggregate liability of Realio arising out of or in any way related to this agreement, the access to and use of the Realio Platform, the Realio Content, Tokens or the Services exceed $500.
The foregoing limitations of liability shall not apply to the liability of Realio for Realio’s negligence or intentional misconduct.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
16. Modifications to the Realio Platform
We reserve the right in our sole discretion to modify, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Realio Platform (or any features or parts thereof) or suspend or discontinue the Services at any time, with or without cause, and without liability therefor. If we make material changes to this Agreement, we will provide notice of such changes, such as by sending an email notification, providing notice through the Realio Platform or updating the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of this Agreement. By continuing to access or use the Realio Platform, you confirm your acceptance of the revised Agreement and all of the terms incorporated therein by reference. We encourage you to review the Agreement frequently to ensure that you understand the terms and conditions that apply when you access or use the Realio Platform.

17. Arbitration Agreement
Please read the following Arbitration Agreement in this section carefully. It requires Users to arbitrate disputes with Realio and limits the manner in which such users can seek relief from us.
- Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Users agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to their access or use of the Realio Platform, to any products sold or distributed through the Realio Platform, or to any aspect of their relationship with Realio will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (a) the user may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify; and (b) the user or Realio may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the Effective Date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement. Any award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties.
If you agree to arbitration with Realio, you are agreeing in advance that you will not participate in or seek to recover monetary or other relief in any lawsuit filed against Realio alleging class, collective, and/or representative claims on your behalf. Instead, by agreeing to arbitration, you may bring your claims against Realio in an arbitration proceeding. If successful on such claims, you could be awarded money or other relief by an arbitrator. You acknowledge that you have been advised that you may consult with an attorney in deciding whether to accept this agreement, including this arbitration agreement. - Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to info@realio.fund.
The arbitration will be conducted by an established alternative dispute resolution provider selected by Realio. To the extent that the dispute relates to activities of Diamond Hands AF, LLC d/b/a Diamond Hands Portal or its associated persons and to the extent permitted by FINRA, arbitration will be conducted by FINRA Dispute Resolution under its rules. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. - Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Realio. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
- Waiver of Jury Trial. You and Realio hereby waive any constitutional and statutory rights to sue in court and have a trial in front of a judge or a jury. You and Realio are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Subsection 1 of this Section 17. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must construe the Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
- Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. All claims and disputes within the scope of this arbitration agreement must be arbitrated on an individual basis and not on a collective class basis, only individual relief is available, and claims of more than one customer or user cannot be arbitrated or consolidated with those of any other customer or user. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) representative action for public injunctive relief may be arbitrated on a class basis and (b) in the event that the foregoing sentence is deemed invalid or unenforceable with respect to a particular class or dispute for recovery of damages, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration and claims and disputes shall instead be resolved in a court as set forth in Section 18 of the Agreement.
- 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to info@realio.fund, within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, the email address you used to set up your account (if you have one) and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
