1000 Angels, a Onevest Corporation (“Onevest,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) welcomes you. We’re really excited that you have decided to access and use the 1000 Angels website (the “Website”), our Facebook, Twitter, and/or our other social media plugins (the “Social Media Plugins”), and/or our mobile applications (the “Mobile Apps,” and collectively with the Social Media Plugins and the Website, the “Services”).
We provide our Services to you subject to the following Terms of Use, which may be updated by us from time to time without notice to you. By browsing the public areas or by accessing and using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use and the terms and conditions of our Privacy Policy, which is hereby incorporated by reference (collectively, this “Agreement.”). If you do not agree to any of these terms, then please do not use the Service or platform.
Capitalized terms not defined in these Terms of Use shall have the meaning set forth in our Privacy Policy.
1000 Angels is a platform that allows its members (each, a “Registered User”), to access and browse through various startup companies, for the purpose of joining a likeminded community, attend events, build a venture portfolio and take some type of role in companies of interest.
Unlike peer-to-peer lending or social networks, 1000 Angels allows entrepreneurs to raise capital from its members at the same time, while offering valuable support and guidance.
If you, the entrepreneur, creates a Post seeking an Investment, then you expressly agree to the following:
ALTHOUGH WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO CREATE AND UPLOAD POSTS AND COMMUNICATE WITH US AND OTHER REGISTERED USERS, PLEASE NOTE THAT ANY IDEAS, CONTENT, AND INFORMATION YOU POST OR SHARE WITH OTHER REGISTERED USERS THROUGH THE SERVICES MAY BE SEEN AND USED BY OTHER REGISTERED USERS, AND 1000 ANGELS CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT OTHER REGISTERED USERS WILL NOT USE THOSE IDEAS, CONTENT, OR INFORMATION THAT YOU SHARE ON THE SERVICES. THEREFORE, IF YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY, IDEA, OR OTHER INFORMATION THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO KEEP CONFIDENTIAL, DON’T WANT OTHERS TO USE, AND/OR THAT IS SUBJECT TO THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS THAT MAY BE INFRINGED BY YOUR SHARING IT, DO NOT POST IT ANYWHERE ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICES. 1000 ANGELS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY REGISTERED USERS’ MISUSE OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF ANY OPPORTUNITY, IDEA, CONTENT, OR INFORMATION YOU POST ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICES. IN THE EVENT YOU NEED TO COMMUNICATE ANY SUCH CONFIDENTIAL OR PROPRIETARY INFORMATION TO ANOTHER REGISTERED USER, YOU SHOULD FIRST DISCUSS WITH YOUR LEGAL COUNSEL ABOUT ENTERING INTO A NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT WITH SUCH REGISTERED USER.
Although you are able to find information about Opportunities through our Services, we are not a party to any transaction regarding any such Opportunity (each, a “Transaction”). Accordingly, we shall have no liability to any party in connection with such Transactions. We do recommend, however, that in connection with each Transaction, Registered Users reduce their agreements to writing.
In addition:

We provide Visitors and Registered Users with access to the Services as described in this Agreement.
Visitors. Visitors, as the term implies, are people who don’t register with us, but want to look around and see what the Services are all about. No login is required for Visitors. Visitors can (a) view all publicly-accessible content, and (b) e-mail us.
Registered Users. Login is required for all Registered User services. Registered Users can do all the things that Visitors can do, and may also be able to (a) log into the platform, browse events, look through deals and comments, and review other content; (b) update their accounts; (c) network and communicate with other Registered Users; (d) participate in our exclusive promotional offers, contests, sweepstakes, and networking events; and (e) sign up for alerts and other notifications.
We may, for the purpose of determining your eligibility as a Registered User, obtain a consumer credit report and/or investigative consumer report pertaining to you, which includes, but is not limited to, information regarding your credit standing. 1000 Angels reserves the right to conduct business audits and background checks on registered users that are using any 1000 Angels services in the event 1000 Angels suspects any fraud or foul play. Furthermore, if any misleading statements or fraud is discovered, all costs associated with the investigation and audit will be billed directly to the individual or entity at fault with the credit card on file, without obtaining prior permission.
By accepting this Agreement, you hereby authorize us to request and obtain such reports if you register as a member, you hereby warrant and represent that you are an “Accredited Investor” as defined below, or as otherwise defined under the Securities Act of 1933:
We are under no obligation to accept any individual as a Registered User, and may accept or reject any registration in our sole and complete discretion.
When using the Services via our Mobile Apps, Registered Users may elect to consent to: (a) the use of their Mobile Device’s Geolocational Information to provide the Services; and (b) receive text messages. In either case, the Registered User consents to and shall pay all carrier data, messaging, and other fees resulting from their usage of the Services.
1000 Angel’s community, like any community, functions best when its people follow a few simple rules. By accessing and/or using the Services, you hereby agree to comply with these community rules and that:
We reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to deny you access to the Services, or any portion of the Services, without notice, and to remove any comments that do not adhere to these guidelines.
There is an annual flat membership fee associated with becoming a member. In such case, you agree that 1000 Angels may authorize your credit card (or other approved facility) for payment of all fees and charges made under your Password (as defined below). There are no fees to entrepreneurs who apply for funding on100 Angels.
As set forth more fully in Section 7 below, you must keep your Password strictly confidential. You are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Password, and you agree to be personally liable for all charges incurred under your Password. Your liability for such charges shall continue after termination of this Agreement. If you have a question about a transaction on your credit card statement, please use the “Contact Us” section of the Website to contact customer service.
We want to make things as easy as possible for our Registered Users, so the Services permit you to sign in using passwords (“Passwords”). During the registration process for Registered Users, we will ask you to create an account, which includes a sign-in name (“Sign-In Name”), a Password, and perhaps certain additional information that will assist in authenticating your identity when you log-in in the future (“Unique Identifiers”). When creating your account, you must provide true, accurate, current, and complete information. Each Sign-In Name and corresponding Password can be used by only one Registered User. You are solely responsible for the confidentiality and use of your Sign-In Name, Password, and Unique Identifiers, as well as for any use, misuse, or communications entered through the Services using one or more of them. You will promptly inform us of any need to deactivate a Password or Sign-In Name, or change any Unique Identifier. If provided by 1000 Angels, we reserve the right to delete or change your Password, Sign-In Name, or Unique Identifier at any time and for any reason. 1000 Angels will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by any unauthorized use of your account.
