You agree to indemnify and hold Black Tie Safari and our affiliates harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, cost, damage, charge, expense or fee (including attorneys’ fees and costs of collection) of any nature whatsoever, and claims therefore (collectively, “losses”) arising out of or relating to your failure to provide true, current, complete and/or accurate information.

Black Tie Safari is not responsible for determining the validity of a person or entity’s status or capacity to serve as a Fiduciary.
 
Self-Directed Transactions
 
Your transactions which Black Tie Safari executes on your behalf are “self-directed”, which means that we execute securities transactions only upon your request and at your direction; you make all investment decisions. As a self-directed investor, you assume full, complete and sole responsibility for each and every transaction you order and for your investment strategies and decisions. You understand and agree that Black Tie Safari and our affiliates will have no rights to or liability whatsoever for the results, including any gains or losses, of your investment strategies and decisions.
 

No Advice
 
Black Tie Safari does not and will not provide you with any investment, legal, tax, estate planning or accounting advice or securities recommendations. Black Tie Safari does not and will not provide you with any advice or recommendations regarding the suitability, profitability or appropriateness for you of any security, investment, financial product, investment strategy or other matter. You acknowledge that Black Tie Safari employees are not authorized to give any advice or make any recommendations and you agree that you will not consider any communications to be investment advice from Black Tie Safari or any of our officers, directors, employees or agents and in no event will any communication be construed or interpreted by you or any other person as advice or as a recommendation that you buy, sell or hold any particular security or pursue any particular investment strategy. You also acknowledge that Black Tie Safari neither had any role in creating and/or drafting, and assumes absolutely no responsibility for nor guarantees the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of information, commentary, research, statistics, marketing materials, advertisements, information posted to issuer websites and/or other websites, press or media announcements, opinions, offering documents, prospectuses, private placement memorandums, offering disclosures or other materials that you may review and ultimately rely on in making your decisions, by or through any means including but not limited to websites (e.g. platforms), emails, and social media, regarding any offering of securities, whether original issuance or secondary market. If you choose to rely on such information you accept and unconditionally agree that you do so solely at your own risk. That Black Tie Safari or its employees or representatives may have had an opportunity to see or review such materials, even if we have been alerted to potential problems with them, does not in any way imply that we have vetted or endorsed the securities, nor does it constitute any form of a recommendation or advice, and you agree that Black Tie Safari is under absolutely no obligation to communicate, disseminate or proactively undertake any examination of such securities or materials, nor to warn, alert or prevent you or anyone else from making decisions to purchase or sell any securities. That at times we may initiate actions regarding such information does not in any way imply that we will always do so, nor modify this Agreement such that it could be interpreted that we accept any liability or responsibility for doing so for any other securities or even for those same securities at other times.
 
Responsibility for Orders
 
All orders for the purchase and sale of securities are originated, directed and/or authorized by you and executed in reliance on your representation, action and promise that an actual purchase or sale is intended. You understand Black Tie Safari may at any time, in our sole discretion and without prior notice to you, prohibit or restrict your ability to purchase or sell securities. In no event will Black Tie Safari be obligated to effect any transaction we believe, in our sole and arbitrary discretion, even if unverified and without involving legal counsel, that such transaction may in any way violate any federal or state law, rule or regulation or the rules or regulations of any regulatory or self-regulatory body; and when and where we decline to effect any transaction we are under no obligation to inform you or any other person of such declination, nor to provide any reason or substantiation for such declination, and will not be held responsible for any problems with such declination including but not limited to lost opportunities, lost profits, lost participation interests, or other lost or forgone benefits that you or others might otherwise have received had the effecting of the transaction(s) not been declined by us.
 
Liquidity of Private and Non-Exchange Traded Securities
 
You hereby represent and warrant that you understand that investments in the equity or debt securities of private and/or non-exchange traded securities are generally illiquid and that you may not be able to sell them and may have to hold them indefinitely. You also understand that investments in the equity and/or debt securities of such private and/or non-exchange listed companies are risky and you may lose some or all of you principal, as well as any expected returns or benefits, and that you are both aware of the risks and prepared and capable of sustaining any and all losses, including the loss of your entire investment.
 
Due Diligence
 
You hereby represent and warrant that you have conducted your own due diligence on all securities that you are investing in, you are satisfied with your due diligence, and you are not relying on any due diligence efforts of Black Tie Safari. That Black Tie Safari may have undertaken or engaged in some due diligence tasks, such as running financial checks on or requesting documents from the issuer or performing a cursory review of offering materials and disclosures, this shall not constitute or be interpreted to mean that Black Tie Safari has performed any meaningful, professional due diligence upon which any investor may rely, including you, and we make absolutely no warranty’s or representations regarding the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of any such activities we perform, if we perform any. Rather, as your investments are self-directed and not solicited or recommended by Black Tie Safari; you agree to perform for yourself all of the due diligence on each investment you make and rely exclusively on your own efforts. Black Tie Safari has not made any recommendations nor provided you with any due diligence materials or investment advice on any transaction or security. You are making self-directed investments which Black Tie Safari is processing as the accommodating securities broker on your behalf. You agree never to hold Black Tie Safari, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors or agents responsible, accountable or in any way liable for any losses or problems, even when a loss occurs as a result of fraud or other malfeasance by third parties which you or others believe may have been reasonably discernable by us.
 
Risk Profile of Investments
 
The Financial Services Regulatory Authority and other regulators, as well as common sense, generally deem all private and non-exchange traded securities to be “high risk”. As such, you hereby represent and warrant that you are fully informed and aware of the risks of investing in these types of securities and will be held solely and exclusively accountable for the decisions and choices you make. Furthermore, you hereby represent and warrant that you understand that the risk profile of such securities means that you may lose some or all of your principal, as well as never realize part or all of the returns you anticipated, and that you are both comfortable with and capable of bearing and sustaining such loses without recourse. No securities effected through Black Tie Safari are in any way insured, guaranteed or without risk.
 
No Legal, Tax or Accounting Advice
 
You agree without reservation that Black Tie Safari has not, does not and will not provide any legal, tax or accounting advice in any way, nor on any matter, regardless of the tone or content of any communication (oral, written or otherwise).

Binding Arbitration, Applicable Law and Venue, Legal representative Fees
 
You agree that this Agreement is governed by, and will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with, the laws of Ireland, without regard to principles of conflict of laws.
 
You agree that any controversy, dispute, claim or grievance between you and us, including any of our affiliates, or our or their shareholders, officers, directors, employees, associates or agents, and you or, if applicable, your shareholders, officers directors, employees, associates or agents, arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, or any service provided by us, including transactions of any kind made on your behalf through us, shall be resolved by Financial Services Regulatory Authority for arbitration, in accordance with Arbitration act 2010 and Model Law. If you are not a resident of the Ireland at the time a controversy subject to arbitration arises, you agree that any arbitration hearing shall be held in the Republic of Ireland; you consent to the personal jurisdiction of all courts located in the State of Ireland for purposes of enforcing this arbitration agreement and any arbitration award; and you agree that any arbitration proceeding shall be conducted in the English language. If any party unsuccessfully resists confirmation or enforcement of an arbitration award rendered under this agreement, then all costs, attorneys’ fees, and expenses incurred by the other party or parties in confirming or enforcing the award shall be fully assessed against and paid by the party resisting confirmation or enforcement of the award. This agreement contains a pre-dispute arbitration clause. By signing this Agreement the parties agree as follows:
 
All parties to this agreement are giving up the right to sue each other in court, including the right to a trial by jury, except as provided by the rules of the arbitration forum in which a claim is filed.
Arbitration awards are generally final and binding; a party’s ability to have a court reverse or modify an arbitration award is very limited.
The ability of the parties to obtain documents, witness statements and other discovery is generally more limited in arbitration than in court proceedings.
The arbitrators do not have to explain the reason(s) for their award unless, in an eligible case, a joint request for an explained decision has been submitted by all parties to the panel at least 20 days prior to the first scheduled hearing date.
The panel of arbitrators may include a minority of arbitrators who were or are affiliated with the securities industry.
The rules of some arbitration forums may impose time limits for bringing a claim in arbitration. In some cases, a claim that is ineligible for arbitration may be brought in court.
The rules of the arbitration forum in which the claim is filed, and any amendments thereto, shall be incorporated into this agreement.
No person shall bring a putative or certified class action to arbitration, nor seek to enforce any pre-dispute arbitration agreement against any person who has initiated in court a putative class action; or who is a member of a putative class who has not opted out of the class with respect to any claims encompassed by the putative class action until: (i) the class certification is denied; or (ii) the class is decertified; or (iii) the customer is excluded from the class by the court. Such forbearance to enforce an agreement to arbitrate shall not constitute a waiver of any rights under this agreement except to the extent stated herein.
 
You hereby consent to this method of dispute resolution, as well as jurisdiction and waive any right you may have to object to either the method or jurisdiction for such claim or dispute. In the event of any dispute among the parties, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover damages plus reasonable attorney’s fees, and the decision of the arbitrator shall be final, binding and enforceable in any court.
