AVID'S TERMS OF SERVICE

The Avid service and network (collectively, the " Service") are operated by Avid Climate, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and its affiliates (collectively, " Avid", " we", or " us"). Our website www.avid.ooo, including any subdomain thereof (the " Platform"), was designed to help our users and the public at large view information regarding our Service, and to use information, content, messages, products, services, software and databases available via the Platform.

By accessing the Platform, you (the " User" or " you") signify that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by these terms of use (" Terms"), regardless of whether you are a registered member of the Service. In addition to these Terms, you may enter into other agreements with us or others that will govern your use of the Service or related services offered by us or others. If there is any contradiction between these Terms and another agreement you enter into applicable to specific aspects of the Service, the other agreement shall take precedence in relation to the specific aspects of the Service to which it applies. As used herein, "Users" means anyone who accesses and/or uses the Platform, as well as anyone who owns securities that were originally issued via the Platform. For any terms herein applicable to all Users, all investor members, or business and other entity Users specifically, or where the context otherwise requires, "Users" shall be deemed to include any business or other entity on behalf of which the Platform or Service is accessed by any other User, and "you" shall be deemed to include any such business or other entity and any person acting on behalf of any such business or other entity in connection with the use of the Platform or Service.

PLEASE REVIEW THESE TERMS CAREFULLY, SPECIFICALLY THE ARBITRATION PROVISION BELOW. THIS AGREEMENT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO RESOLVE DISPUTES THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

Changes to these Terms of Use

We may make changes to these Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. If we do this, we will post the changed Terms on the Platform and will indicate at the top of this page the date the Terms were last revised. You understand and agree that your continued use of the Service or the Platform after we have made any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.

As part of doing business with us, therefore, we also need you to consent to our giving you certain disclosures electronically, either via our Platform or to the email address (or other electronic means of communication) you provide to us.

The decision to do business with us electronically is yours. This document informs you of your rights concerning Disclosures.

Electronic Communications. Any Disclosures will be provided to you electronically through avid.ooo either on our Platform or via electronic mail to the verified email address you provided or through other electronic means of communication based on information provided by you. If you require paper copies of such Disclosures, you may write to us at the mailing address provided below and a paper copy will be sent to you at a cost of up to $5.00. A request for a paper copy of any Disclosure will not be considered a withdrawal of your consent to receive Disclosures electronically. Any IRS 1099 Forms provided electronically will remain accessible through the end of the year in which such IRS Form 1099 or Form K-1 is made available; after that time the IRS Form 1099 may no longer be accessible electronically. We may discontinue electronic provision of Disclosures at any time in our sole discretion.

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 Avid or between you and another party with whom you transact through the Platform.

Avid may in its sole and absolute discretion decline to accept any person's request in anything, at any time, with no requirement for any reason or explanation; the parties agree that such decline(s), if any, shall not constitute an opinion, recommendation or investment, legal or tax advice by Avid.

BACKGROUND CHECKS

We perform background checks on all subscribers in Avid offerings through third-party service providers. These background checks will seek to confirm whether a subscriber's name and identity matches the identity of anyone listed on a terrorist or criminal database or watch list or is associated with any foreign government. By subscribing for securities on the Avid Platform you consent to such background checks. With respect to background checks (including, but not limited to data which we obtain from third parties regarding OFAC, FINCEN, PATRIOT Act, criminal history, bankruptcy, etc.), the data and information contained in our investigations is obtained from numerous regulatory, private and public sources and is thought to be reliable. Background check information is shared with our RIA Partner. We and or our RIA Partner may have legal obligations under the USA Patriot Act or other applicable laws designed to detect money laundering or other crimes, including obligations to report suspicious activity. We reserve the right to deny any individual the right to access investment products that are otherwise available on our Platform for any reason, including, without limitation, as a result of information obtained inconnection with background checks and whether or not such information is accurate, truthful or complete.

PAYMENT PROCESSING

When a User chooses to use the Service to make an investment in a Avid issuer, the User hereby consents to any appropriately licensed third party agent appointed by Avid facilitating and/or processing payments made or received through the Service, including, without limitation, the consent to access, charge or debit a payor's credit card, debit card, bank account or other payment mechanism (but only upon receipt of instructions to do so from User and only for the purposes and within the limits of such instructions); (b) Each User acknowledges and agrees that a payment transaction made through the Service is a transaction between Users wishing to invest in a Avid offering and those offering such investment and not with Avid. Avid is not a party to any payment transaction related to any such investment and Avid is not a buyer or seller in connection with any such investment transaction; (c) Users may only use the Service to process a payment transaction for investment in a Avid offering through a legitimate, bona fide sale of such product or service. Users may not use the Service to purchase any illegal goods or services or for any other underlying illegal transaction; and (d) Unless held in escrow in accordance with the terms governing an investment by the User, as agreed between the User and Avid at the time of investment, all payment transactions processed through the Service are non-refundable to a User by Avid and are non-reversible by a User through the Service. Users may have additional refund or charge-back rights under the agreement a User has with the issuer of the User's payment instrument (i.e. its credit or debit card agreement or bank) or applicable state and federal laws. User should review its periodic statement received from the issuer of its payment instrument, which will reflect all purchase transactions through the Service.

Governing Law; Venue and Jurisdiction; Arbitration

By visiting or using the Platform and/or the Service, you agree that the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any principles of conflict of laws that would require or permit the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction, will govern these Terms. By agreeing to the Terms and using the Platform and the Service, you agree to agree to the binding arbitration provisions set forth in these Terms and submit to personal jurisdiction in the Federal courts located in New York City for all purposes, and you agree to waive, to maximum extent permitted by law, any right to a trial by jury for any matter.

Either party may, at its sole election, require that the sole and exclusive forum and remedy for resolution of a Claim be final and binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in New York, New York. As used in this provision, " Claim" shall include any past, present, or future claim, dispute, or controversy involving you (or persons claiming through or connected with you), on the one hand, and Avid (or officers, directors, employees, contractors, managers, members or other persons claiming through or connected with Avid), on the other hand, relating to or arising out of the Platform, the Services, these Terms and/or the activities or relationships that involve, lead to, or result from any of the foregoing, including the validity or enforceability of this arbitration provision, provided that this provision shall not apply to any Claims arising under Federal securities laws. Claims are subject to arbitration regardless of whether they arise from contract; tort (intentional or otherwise); a constitution, statute, common law, or principles of equity; or otherwise. Claims include (without limitation) matters arising as initial claims, counter-claims, cross-claims, third-party claims, or otherwise. The scope of this arbitration provision is to be given the broadest possible interpretation that is enforceable.

The party initiating arbitration shall do so with the American Arbitration Association (the " AAA") or JAMS. The arbitration shall be conducted according to, and the location of the arbitration shall be determined in accordance with, the rules and policies of the administrator selected, except to the extent the rules conflict with this arbitration provision or any countervailing law. In the case of a conflict between the rules and policies of the administrator and this arbitration provision, this arbitration provision shall control, subject to countervailing law, unless all parties to the arbitration consent to have the rules and policies of the administrator apply.

If we elect arbitration, we shall pay all the administrator's filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees). If you elect arbitration, filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees) shall be paid in accordance with the rules of the administrator selected, or in accordance with countervailing law if contrary to the administrator's rules. We shall pay the administrator's hearing fees for one full day of arbitration hearings. Fees for hearings that exceed one day will be paid by the party requesting the hearing, unless the administrator's rules or applicable law require otherwise, or you request that we pay them and we agree to do so. Each party shall bear the expense of its own attorney's fees, except as otherwise provided by law. If a statute gives you the right to recover any of these fees, these statutory rights shall apply in the arbitration notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein.

Within thirty (30) days of a final award by the arbitrator, a party may appeal the award for reconsideration by a three-arbitrator panel selected according to the rules of the arbitrator administrator. In the event of such an appeal, an opposing party may cross-appeal within thirty (30) days after notice of the appeal. The panel will reconsider de novo all aspects of the initial award that are appealed. Costs and conduct of any appeal shall be governed by this arbitration provision and the administrator's rules, in the same way as the initial arbitration proceeding. Any award by the individual arbitrator that is not subject to appeal, and any panel award on appeal, shall be final and binding, except for any appeal right under the Federal Arbitration Act (the " FAA"), and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

We agree not to invoke our right to arbitrate an individual Claim that you may bring in Small Claims Court or an equivalent court, if any, so long as the Claim is pending only in that court. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NO ARBITRATION SHALL PROCEED ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS (INCLUDING AS PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ON BEHALF OF OTHERS), EVEN IF THE CLAIM OR CLAIMS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE ARBITRATION HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ASSERTED (OR COULD HAVE BEEN ASSERTED) IN A COURT AS CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE ACTIONS IN A COURT.

Unless otherwise provided in these Terms or consented to in writing by all parties to the arbitration, no party to the arbitration may join, consolidate, or otherwise bring claims for or on behalf of two or more individuals or unrelated corporate entities in the same arbitration unless those persons are parties to a single transaction. Unless consented to in writing by all parties to the arbitration, an award in arbitration shall determine the rights and obligations of the named parties only, and only with respect to the claims in arbitration, and shall not: (i) determine the rights, obligations, or interests of anyone other than a named party, or resolve any Claim of anyone other than a named party; or (ii) make an award for the benefit of, or against, anyone other than a named party. No administrator or arbitrator shall have the power or authority to waive, modify, or fail to enforce this provision, and any attempt to do so, whether by rule, policy, arbitration decision or otherwise, shall be invalid and unenforceable. Any challenge to the validity of this provision shall be determined exclusively by a court and not by the administrator or any arbitrator.

This arbitration provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by and enforceable under the FAA. The arbitrator will apply substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations. The arbitrator may award damages or other types of relief permitted by applicable substantive law, subject to the limitations set forth in this arbitration provision. The arbitrator will not be bound by judicial rules of procedure and evidence that would apply in a court. The arbitrator shall take steps to reasonably protect confidential information.

This arbitration provision shall survive: (i) suspension, termination, revocation, closure, or amendments to these Terms and the relationship of the parties; (ii) the bankruptcy or insolvency of any party hereto or other party; and (iii) any transfer of any securities, to any other party. If any portion of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this arbitration provision shall nevertheless remain valid and in force. If arbitration is brought on a class, representative, or collective basis, and the limitations on such proceedings included herein are finally adjudicated to be unenforceable, then no arbitration shall be had. In no event shall any invalidation be deemed to authorize an arbitrator to determine Claims or make awards beyond those authorized in this arbitration provision.

If any provision of these Terms conflicts with a provision contained in any subscription agreement, share transfer agreement or similar agreement to which you and Avid are party, the terms of such other agreement shall control and shall be deemed to supercede the provisions of these Terms.

Notwithstanding anything set forth in these Terms, either Avid or you may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief without breach of the mandatory arbitration provisions set forth above.

THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO LITIGATE CLAIMS THROUGH A COURT BEFORE A JUDGE, BUT WILL NOT HAVE THAT RIGHT IF ANY PARTY ELECTS ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION. THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIMS IN A COURT UPON ELECTION OF ARBITRATION BY ANY PARTY. THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE SHARES OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS RELATED THERETO. THIS WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY CLAIMS MADE UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold Avid, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their directors, officers, agents, contractors, members, managers, partners and employees, harmless from and against any loss, liability, claim, demand, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of or in connection with your User Content, any Third-Party Content you post or share on or through the Platform, your use of the Service or the Platform, your conduct in connection with the Service or the Platform or with other Users of the Service or the Platform, or any violation of these Terms or of any law or the rights of any third-party. The previous sentence shall not apply to any extent to Users while acting as an investor or while registering as an investor in connection with their: (i) posting of User Content; or (ii) use of the Platform or Service.

No Waiver

The failure of Avid to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision in that or any other instance. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect. If any provision of these Terms shall be deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
