We may amend or modify the Terms of Use at any time by posting the Terms of Use on the Platform. We will notify Users of our updated Terms of Use by e-mail, notice on our Platform, or similar means. The revised Terms of Use shall be effective on the date posted, but will not apply retroactively. Your continued access to or use of the Platform or Services after posting of revised Terms of Use constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms of Use.
1. Services

Crowd Street provides Users with an array of Services and content, including educational materials, financial tools, investment information, and investment opportunities, and facilitates Members’ investment transactions, performance monitoring, and other functions and services. Crowd Street does not provide any tax, legal, financial, investment, or accounting advice. Unless otherwise specified in these Terms of Use, the Platform and Services are Member Services provided by Crowd Street Inc.
You acknowledge that the Platform is “self-directed.”

Crowd Street Capital is a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA and SIPC. Members may receive Brokerage Services only after signing an Account Agreement and approval by Crowd Street Capital. All investments are self-directed and unsolicited.
Advisory Services. Investment advisory services are provided by Crowd Street Advisors, a registered investment adviser with the SEC. Crowd Street Advisors provides investment advisory services exclusively to private funds managed by Crowd Street Advisors, and does not provide investment advisory services to Users or Members.
2. Important Notices
By your acceptance of these Terms of Use, you acknowledge receipt of these notices and disclosures:
Risks of Investing. Please carefully review our Investment Risks Disclosure for an overview of important risks you should consider. You acknowledge and agree that your access to and use of the Platform and Services is subject to risks, including but not limited to the risks described in the risk disclosure and elsewhere on the Platform and documents related to specific investments. The occurrence of any of these or other risks could result in losses and damages to you.
Privacy Policy. Crowd Street respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it. Please review our Privacy Policy. Notwithstanding and in addition to the foregoing, if you are a vendor to us, are a Sponsor or Issuer, (as defined below), or provide services, products, or goods to Crowd Street, you acknowledge and agree that we may use and provide your business identifiable information and other nonpublic, confidential information to third parties as part of our vendor onboarding to validate payment instructions and perform due diligence on you as required by law and as otherwise required by us in our reasonable discretion (including but not limited to Know Your Business, credit checks, and background checks).
E-Sign and Electronic Delivery Consent. Crowd Street provides most of its Services electronically. You consent to the use of electronic signatures and delivery of records in electronic format during our relationship with you as set forth in our E-Sign and Electronic Delivery Consent.
Regulatory Disclosures. In accordance with applicable regulations, Crowd Street provides certain public Regulatory Disclosures for your information.
3. Accounts
Registration. To access certain features of the Platform and certain Services, you will be required to create a login and complete a Member Profile by providing information about yourself and your entity (if applicable). To complete an investment on the Platform, you will be required to create a Member Account for yourself and/or each investing entity (e.g. trust and retirement account) for which you will be investing. You represent and agree that the information you provide to us is accurate and that you will notify us of any changes. You acknowledge that Crowd Street relies on the information you have provided to us.
Member Account Eligibility. To establish a Member Account, you must:
Be an Accredited Investor,
Be at least 18 years old,
Be a U.S. citizen or resident alien, or invest through an eligible U.S.-based entity,
Not have been suspended or removed from the Platform,
Verify your identity and pass certain anti-money laundering checks and other due diligence requirements, and
Sign an Account Agreement.
Users who completed all investments via the Platform prior to September 2023 established a Member Account and completed investment subscriptions in connection with investments for which Brokerage Services were not provided, and no Account Agreement was required. Those Users may continue to use the Platform via their Member Account to service their portfolio, and these Terms of Use govern their continued use of the Platform. Users who wish to engage in new investment activities, and thereby receive Brokerage Services, may do so only after completing all required steps and entering into an Account Agreement.
Safeguarding Your Account. When you register, you will be asked to establish a login and password that will be used to access your Member Profile or Account. We require multi-factor authentication and other security features to access your Member Profile, or Account. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login and password, and you accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your login. You are responsible for maintaining security and control of your login information, passwords, e-mails, devices you use to access the Platform or the Services or to send any instruction to us, and bank accounts you have associated with your Member Profile or Account. You must keep your email account associated with your login secure against any attacks and authorized access. If you believe that your login information or associated email account is no longer secure, then you must immediately notify us at compliance@crowdstreet.com. You acknowledge that the banking instructions you provide to us via the Platform will be shared with third parties who rely on those instructions to process payments directly to you in connection with investments placed via the Platform. Crowd Street does not handle cash transactions on behalf of Members or Sponsors and is not responsible for errors or fraud related to such banking instructions or payment processing.
Account Usage. You must ensure that the login, Member Profile, and Account you register will not be used by any other person unless they have been registered and completed any required identity verification described in these Terms of Use. Crowd Street reserves the right to terminate, suspend or restrict your access to the Platform, Services, or your login, Member Profile or Account or refuse to complete a transaction or instruction, in its sole discretion. Circumstances in which such adverse actions are more likely to arise include compliance with legal or regulatory requirements, suspected breach of these Terms of Use by you or your Account, suspected security breach, fraudulent activity, money laundering, or other crime, suspicious activity, circumvention of our policies, controls, or procedures, or other actions that we deem warrant adverse action. Any instruction or order given for your Member Profile or Account using your login credentials or those of any other person you have registered for your Member Profile or Account for will be treated as being from you and fully authorized by you, and Crowd Street will not be liable for relying on such instruction or order.
Authorization. Users who complete a Member Profile, open an Account, or engage in actions in a Member Profile or an Account on behalf of an entity or another individual must have full power, authority and capacity to consent to these Terms of Use and make decisions for such entity or individual.
Accredited Investor Verification. To complete your Member Account opening, and before you can invest in any securities, you must submit verification that you are an Accredited Investor. This verification is required for securities issuers to comply with Rule 506(c) under the Securities Act.
Identity Verification and Anti-Money Laundering Inquiries. You agree to provide us with the information we request for the purposes of identity verification and the detection of money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, or any other financial crime and permit us to keep a record of such information. You will need to complete certain verification procedures before you are permitted to use certain Services or complete an Account opening or an investment. The information we request may include certain personal information, including, but not limited to, your name, address, telephone number, email address, date of birth, taxpayer identification number, government identification number and scans of government-issued identity documents. In addition to providing this information, to facilitate compliance with regulatory requirements for data retention, you agree to permit us to keep a record of such information for the lifetime of your Account plus 6 years beyond the termination of your Account. You agree to keep us updated if any of the information you provide changes.
You authorize us to make inquiries, whether directly or through third parties, that we consider necessary to satisfy regulatory obligations, verify your identity or protect you and/or us against fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing or other financial crime, and to take any action we deem necessary based on the results of such inquiries. When we carry out these inquiries, you acknowledge and agree that your personal information may be disclosed in full to vendors or agencies and that we may receive information about you from vendors or agencies.
If we determine that any information provided by you may be or is wrong, untruthful, outdated or incomplete, we may send you a notice to request corrections, remove relevant information directly and, as the case may be, terminate all or part of the Services provided to you.
4. Communications
Calls and Texts. If you provide us with phone number(s), you: (a) represent and warrant that the numbers you provide are your phone numbers, and you will promptly notify us if that changes, (b) consent to receive calls and texts made to that phone number concerning your Member Profile, Account, transactions, and other operational matters, including calls that may be prerecorded or completed with an automatic telephone dialing system (automated calls) for such operational purposes (including security alerts), or investigating or preventing fraud, and (c) consent to receive calls and texts made to that phone number for promotional purposes. You may opt out at any time from receiving these types of texts or calls by opting-out on your Account profile, advising the caller orally, by replying “STOP” to a text, or by e-mail to help@crowdstreet.com. Opting out of receiving operational phone calls and texts may impact the functionality that the Platform and Services provide to you. Please note, even if you opt out, we may still make other calls as permitted by law. You may continue to receive calls or text messages for a short period while Crowd Street processes your request, and you may also receive text messages confirming the receipt of your opt-out request. From time to time, you also may have the opportunity to “opt in” to receive additional types of promotional calls and texts, and your selection to receive such communications shall be your consent, which may be revoked at any time by changing your selection in your Member Profile, advising the caller orally, by replying “STOP” to a text, or by e-mail to help@crowdstreet.com.
You agree that Crowd Street may record and monitor phone calls and other electronic communications with you for customer service and/or regulatory compliance purposes. Crowd Street does not guarantee that any particular communication will be recorded and/or retained. We may share your number with third parties that provide services to us in connection with any of the foregoing purposes, including but not limited to debt collectors and as otherwise described in our Privacy Policy. You understand that message, telephone minute and data rates may apply for calls and texts made to a mobile phone number.
Emails. Crowd Street may send you emails concerning your Member Profile, Account, transactions, and other operational matters. Crowd Street also may send you promotional emails regarding our products and services, as well as those of third parties. You may opt out of promotional emails by following the unsubscribe instructions in the promotional email itself.
5. Dispute Resolution
Most concerns regarding the Platform or Services can be addressed effectively through open communication, and we encourage you to reach out to us at ir@crowdstreet.com so we can support you and work toward resolution.
Crowd Street does not make investment recommendations or decisions for Members, cannot control or impact the performance of an investment, cannot enforce reporting or other compliance obligations of third parties, and does not take custody of Members’ funds or securities. Crowd Street does not receive investors’ funds and cannot refund an investment completed by a Member. Crowd Street seeks to facilitate effective communication and issue resolution with third parties. You acknowledge, however, that legal disputes about an investment are between the User and the investment Issuer or Sponsor, and they must be resolved pursuant to the terms of the subscription agreement for the investment and/or the Issuer’s governing documents.
Dispute Notice. In the event of any claim, controversy, or dispute (each a “Dispute”) between a User and Crowd Street, each party will notify the other party in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to commencing formal legal action, so that the parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally. Notice to Crowd Street of any Dispute shall be sent by email to legal@crowdstreet.com. Notice to the User shall be sent by email to the then-current email address associated with the User’s account and/or Member Account. Notice to Crowd Street must include (i) your name, postal address, email address, and telephone number, (ii) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute, including whether you believe that the Dispute is a Brokerage Dispute, and (iii) the specific relief that you are seeking. If, within thirty (30) days after the date notice is received by the applicable party, (a) we cannot agree how to resolve the Dispute, then either party may commence a legal proceeding, or (b) we cannot agree whether the Dispute is a Brokerage Dispute, then either party may commence a legal proceeding and the court shall decide whether a Dispute qualifies as a Brokerage Dispute.
Dispute Resolution. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles. Any Dispute, other than a Brokerage Dispute, must be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, including the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and you submit to this exclusive jurisdiction and waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, any objection to the laying of venue in such courts and any claim that any such action has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
You waive the right to a trial by jury. You waive the right to bring a class action, collective action or multi-party proceeding.
You and Crowd Street waive their respective rights to (i) a jury trial; (ii) a class arbitration, class action, joint, or multi-party proceeding; or (iii) private attorney general or action or other representative proceeding. Each party shall bear its own costs, fees and expenses in connection with any action brought pursuant to this Dispute Resolution provision, whether or not it is a Brokerage Dispute. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section Crowd Street may seek injunctive relief in any court having jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights.
Brokerage Disputes may be resolved in the federal or state courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, including the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or, at the Member’s request, pursuant to FINRA Arbitration. Brokerage Disputes may be brought in FINRA Arbitration only with respect to Brokerage Services as expressly defined in Section 21 and as provided for in the FINRA Arbitration Code.
6. Modifications of the Platform and Services
Crowd Street reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Platform, Services, and/or certain features at any time, temporarily or permanently, without notice to you. Crowd Street will have no liability for any change to the Platform or Services or any suspension or termination of your access to or use of the Platform or Services. Crowd Street modifies the content on the Platform from time to time, but makes no representation that the content is always complete or up to date. We are under no obligation to update such material or provide user support.
7. Securities Products
Securities offered on the Platform are only suitable for investors who are familiar with and willing to accept the high risks associated with alternative investments and private placements, including the risk of complete loss of your investment. Securities offered on the Platform generally are not publicly traded and, therefore, generally are illiquid. Additionally, the Securities may be subject to restrictions on resale or transfer including holding period requirements. Investing in alternative investments and private placements requires high risk tolerance, low liquidity need, and long-term commitments. You must be able to afford to lose your entire investment. Investment products are not FDIC insured, may lose value, and there is no bank guarantee.
Unless otherwise provided in the governing documents of each offering, Securities offered on the Platform have not been registered under the Securities Act, in reliance, among other exemptions, on the exemptive provisions of Regulation D under the Securities Act. No governmental agency has reviewed the Securities and no state or federal agency has passed upon either the adequacy of the disclosures or the fairness of the terms of any offering.
Content provided on the Platform has been prepared without reference to any particular investment requirements or the financial situation of any person or entity. Featuring or posting on the Platform or via the Services of any opportunity or Security does not constitute a recommendation by Crowd Street that you invest in that Security or a representation of the quality of any potential investment. Crowd Street does not recommend or endorse any particular issuer, sponsor of an investment opportunity, or an investment in any particular investment.
You are responsible for seeking the advice of a qualified third-party investment, tax, or legal professional if you believe you need assistance making decisions regarding your investment activities.
The Issuer of an investment opportunity, and not Crowd Street, is responsible for compliance with exemptions from registration under applicable law.
These risks are non-exhaustive and are intended to highlight certain risks associated with investing in securities that are not registered with the SEC. In addition to reviewing Investment Risk Disclosures, we strongly advise you to consult a legal, tax and financial professional before investing, and carefully review all the specific risk disclosures provided as part of any offering materials and ask the issuer any questions you may have or request additional information.
8. Third-Party Information
The Platform contents include information provided by third parties. Most of the information on the Securities is provided by Sponsors or Issuers. While Crowd Street continually endeavors to provide reasonably and materially correct information, Crowd Street cannot verify or guarantee the accuracy or completeness of all information provided by third parties. Crowd Street makes no representation, warranty, or assurance that any information posted on the Platform or through the Services concerning or by third parties is accurate or complete and has no responsibility or liability for that information. Crowd Street disclaims all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such materials by any User or anyone who may be informed of the content. All statements and/or opinions expressed in third party content are solely the opinions and the responsibility of the person or entity providing the third party content.
9. User Interactions
The Platform facilitates communication between Users, including but not limited to Issuers posting updates and reports for Members. Crowd Street reserves the right to restrict access or remove content, but Crowd Street cannot monitor all communications and content shared by Users, review or audit all Issuer communications, or prevent inappropriate or inaccurate communications. You acknowledge that Crowd Street is not responsible for any loss or damage of any sort related to communications from other Users via the Platform or Services.
10. Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you are responsible for your use of the Platform and the Services, and you agree to defend and indemnify Crowd Street and its officers, directors, employees, consultants, affiliates, subsidiaries and agents (together, the “Crowd Street Entities”) from and against every claim, and any related liability, damage, loss, and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or connected with: (a) your use of, or misuse of, the Platform and Services; (b) information provided or representation made by you to Crowd Street or to any third party via the Platform; (c) your violation of any portion of these Terms of Use, any representation, warranty, or agreement referenced in these Terms of Use, any agreement you enter into with respect to an Investment on the Platform, or any applicable law or regulation; (d) your violation of any third party right, including any intellectual property right or publicity, confidentiality, other property, or privacy right; (e) any dispute, issue, or agreement between you and any third party, or (f) any interactions between or agreements between you and another User or any third party. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you (without limiting your indemnification obligations with respect to that matter), and in that case, you agree to cooperate with our defense of those claims.
11. Disclaimers; No Warranties
THE PLATFORM, SERVICES AND ALL MATERIALS, INFORMATION, AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND ON AN “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. CROWD STREET DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING TO THE PLATFORM OR SERVICES AND ALL MATERIALS, INFORMATION, AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THEM, INCLUDING: (A) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT; AND (B) ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE. CROWD STREET DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR ANY PORTION OF THE PLATFORM, SERVICES, OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT OFFERED THROUGH THEM, WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR FREE OF ERRORS, VIRUSES, OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, AND CROWD STREET DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY OF THOSE ISSUES WILL BE CORRECTED.
NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM THE PLATFORM, SERVICES OR CROWD STREET ENTITIES OR ANY MATERIALS, OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THEM WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY REGARDING ANY OF THE CROWD STREET ENTITIES OR THE SERVICE THAT IS NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT FROM THE PLATFORM OR SERVICES AND YOUR DEALING WITH ANY OTHER SERVICE USER. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU USE ANY PORTION OF THE PLATFORM AND SERVICES AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY (INCLUDING YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR DEVICE USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE PLATFORM OR SERVICES) OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, INCLUDING USER CONTENT.
CROWD STREET MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION AS TO ANY SPONSOR’S OR ISSUER’S COMPLIANCE WITH THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT, THE INVESTMENT ADVISERS ACT, OR THE SECURITIES ACT, OR ANY OTHER LAW, RULE, OR REGULATION. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU, AND NOT CROWD STREET, BEAR THE RISK FOR ANY LOSSES THAT DERIVE FROM THE ILLEGALITY OR NONCOMPLIANCE OF AN ISSUER’S INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES.
YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INVESTMENT DECISIONS YOU MAKE BASED ON THE SERVICE. CROWD STREET SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INVESTMENT DECISIONS MADE BY YOU OR FOR ANY LOSS BASED ON THOSE DECISIONS.
THE LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMERS IN THIS SECTION APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
Crowd Street does not disclaim any warranty or other right that Crowd Street is prohibited from disclaiming under applicable law.
12. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL ANY CROWD STREET ENTITY BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE PLATFORM OR SERVICE OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT ON THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT ANY CROWD STREET ENTITY HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF ALL CROWD STREET ENTITIES TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF OR ANY INABILITY TO USE ANY PORTION OF THE PLATFORM OR SERVICES OR OTHERWISE UNDER THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO $1,000. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, CROWD STREET WILL IN NO EVENT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIMS OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY USER’S INVESTMENT OR POTENTIAL INVESTMENT, OR ANY CONDUCT, MISCONDUCT, OR OMISSION OF ANY ISSUER, SPONSOR OR OTHER USER. YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM AND SERVICES, AND ANY FINANCIAL DECISIONS YOU MAKE, ARE AT YOUR SOLE RISK.
EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
13. Event of Death
In the event of your death, the representative of your estate or the survivor or survivors shall notify Crowd Street, and Crowd Street may, before or after receiving notice, take proceedings, require papers and inheritance or estate tax waivers, or restrict transactions in the Member Account. In the event of your death, Crowd Street may cancel all open offers, but Crowd Street shall not be responsible for any action taken on such offers prior to the actual receipt of notice of death. Further, Crowd Street may in its discretion close the Member Account without awaiting the appointment of a personal representative for your estate and without demand upon or notice to any personal representative.
14. Tax; Tax Reporting
You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to declare and pay any applicable income, gains, or similar taxes to all applicable tax authorities, make any tax filings, and to pay any and all taxes when due in all applicable jurisdictions. Crowd Street enables Sponsors and Issuers to provide certain tax forms such as Form K-1s to Users via the Platform. However, Crowd Street cannot verify the accuracy of such information or take responsibility for ensuring that Sponsors or Issuers timely or accurately deliver tax forms to Users.
15. Fees and Charges
Crowd Street does not charge commissions to Users for their participation in an offering nor does it charge investors any fees for accessing or creating an account on the Platform. However, you acknowledge that other fees may apply and that Crowd Street receives fees and/or commissions from Sponsors and/or Issuers in connection with User transactions, the Services, and other services provided to Sponsors, Issuers, and Users. Fees and/or commissions charged by Crowd Street Capital for brokerage services are described in the offering material for a particular transaction, where applicable. Crowd Street Advisors Fund fees will be paid in accordance with the applicable offering documents.
16. Confidentiality
You acknowledge that you may have access to certain confidential and proprietary information of Crowd Street, Issuers, Sponsors, other Users, and others through the Platform and the Services. This confidential information includes, but is not limited to, private placement memoranda, business plans, financial projections, financial results, investment agreements, transactions, addresses, phone numbers, tax id numbers, investment information, and banking information. You agree to treat such information as confidential, not use it for any purpose other than the investment purposes for which the information was provided to you, and not to disclose it to any third party, except (i) as necessary to permit your accountant, lawyer, or investment advisor to provide services other than affecting like transactions; (ii) in connection with an audit or regulatory examination by federal or state regulators; or (iii) as may otherwise be legally required or authorized.
