Welcome to the website of Cartera Financial, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Cartera").  Cartera is sometimes referred to herein as "we," "us," "our," or";Company”.  These Terms of Use (these";Terms”) govern your use of cartera.io  and other Internet sites on which these Terms are posted and/or any of Cartera’s web products (including any web applications that you may access or launch through our website or any other Cartera products), and any Cartera software, which are copyrighted works belonging to Cartera, and products and services (including accounting and data analytics services) we provide through them (collectively, the website, web applications, software and other products and services accessed through the website and software, referred to as our";Site”). ";You” refers to you as a user of the Site. Certain features of the Site may be subject to additional guidelines, terms, or rules, which will be posted on the Site in connection with such features. All such additional terms, guidelines, and rules are incorporated by reference into these Terms.

THESE TERMS SET FORTH THE LEGALLY BINDING TERMS THAT GOVERN YOUR USE, AND/OR VISITATION, OF THE SITE.  BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SITE OR OTHERWISE INDICATING YOUR ACCEPTANCE (OR BY CLICKING TO ACCEPT OR AGREE TO THE TERMS WHEN THIS OPTION IS MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU) YOU ARE ACCEPTING THESE TERMS AND OUR PRIVACY POLICY, FOUND AT CARTERA.IO/TERMS, INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE (ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR THE ENTITY THAT YOU REPRESENT), AND YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU (1) HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND (2) YOU HAVE THE RIGHT, AUTHORITY, AND CAPACITY TO ENTER INTO THESE TERMS (ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR THE ENTITY THAT YOU REPRESENT).  IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO AGREE TO THESE TERMS OR THE PRIVACY POLICY.  IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS, DO NOT ACCESS AND/OR USE THE SITE.

THESE TERMS REQUIRE THE USE OF ARBITRATION (SEE BELOW IN THE";DISPUTE RESOLUTION: SECTION) ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR className ACTIONS, AND ALSO LIMIT THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE. UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AS DESCRIBED IN THE ";DISPUTE RESOLUTION” SECTION BELOW: (1) YOU MAY PURSUE CLAIMS AND SEEK RELIEF AGAINST US ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR className MEMBER IN ANY className OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING; AND (2) YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO SEEK RELIEF IN A COURT OF LAW AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL ON YOUR CLAIMS.

No Financial, Professional, or Investment Advice; Risks

Cartera is not in the business of providing legal, tax, audit, accounting, or brokerage, nor other professional services or advice. Through your use of the Site, you acknowledge and agree that information provided by Cartera is simply informational only and should not be considered a substitute for the services or advice of a competent professional. Further, the information provided herein should not be taken as financial planning or investment solicitation. No fiduciary relationship has been created between you and Cartera.

You hereby understand and acknowledge that through your use of the Site, you are not being represented by an attorney, certified financial planner, broker, nor another regulated advisor. Certain aspects of the Site Services may provide access to such a professional (for example through a referral service by which Cartera receives affiliation fees) or provide tax-related information, but if you are in need of legal or financial advice, including a review of any financial or tax decisions, we advise you to consult the appropriate advisor, such as your own attorney, accountant, or other professional.

We endeavor to keep the Site as secure as possible, but you hereby acknowledge that no system involving the transmission of information via the Internet, or the electronic storage of data, is completely secure. We are not liable for any loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification of your personal data that occurs outside our reasonable control. Cartera also makes no warranties as to the reliability or accuracy, completeness, or quality of any information on or obtained through the Site. You agree that Cartera is not liable for any errors, omissions, loss or damage which may be caused by your use of the Site, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any damage that may occur to you, through your computer system, or as a result of loss of your data from your use of the Services is your sole responsibility.

Documents, information, or other services received on or through the Site may not be appropriate for your particular situation, the assessment of which is your sole and exclusive responsibility.

Cartera makes no assurances to any particular outcome based on your use of any of the Site, including business or financial outcomes. If you choose to use the Site, you acknowledge and agree that the Site may not be suitable for every investor and that you should always undertake to make your own investment decisions.

The information provided by the Site is for information only and does not constitute, and should not be construed as, investment advice or a recommendation to buy, sell, or otherwise transact in any digital asset including any products or services or an invitation, offer or solicitation to engage in any investment activity with respect to any digital asset.

The digital assets about which information is provided via the Site are not viewed by the issuer or sponsor, or those buying or selling the digital asset, as securities under U.S. laws or relevant applicable laws. As a result, it is unlikely that fulsome disclosures from the issuer or sponsor, or any executive officer associated with the digital asset or related protocol have been provided, and others may have better or more information than the information made available to you via the Services or to which you may independently have access.

There are risks associated with investing in digital assets. Loss of principal is possible. Volatility is highly likely, and some of the protocols and platforms may fail entirely due to forking, flaws in the code, hacking, or other malicious attacks. Some high-risk investments may use leverage, which will accentuate gains and losses. A digital asset’s past investment performance is not a guarantee or predictor of future performance.

THESE TERMS DO NOT REPRESENT A COMPLETE STATEMENT OF RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH AN INVESTMENT IN ANY OF THE DIGITAL ASSETS OR PRODUCTS THAT MAY BE VIEWED OR TRACKED ON THE SITE OR THROUGH THE SERVICES. YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THESE RISK WARNINGS CAREFULLY AND TAKE APPROPRIATE INVESTMENT ADVICE BEFORE TAKING ANY DECISION TO PURCHASE OR TRADE A DIGITAL ASSET.

Cartera may allow you to access the Site (particularly accounting related services) on a purchase on-demand basis or subscription basis with tiered pricing based on the number of transactions or complexity involved. The basis on which the Site is available is indicated on the product detail page for which you may make your purchases or subscriptions. Subject to your payment of any applicable fees, purchases, subscriptions, the Company grants you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, personal, non-sub licensable, limited right and license to use the Site to fulfill your personal and commercial purposes.

Billing will occur in advance on a recurring and periodic and/or purchase basis, depending on the type of subscription or purchase on-demand you select.

You may cancel your subscription renewal by contacting us at info@cartera.io.

You shall provide Cartera with accurate and complete billing information including full name, address, state, zip code, telephone number, and valid payment method information. Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, Cartera will issue an electronic invoice indicating that you must proceed manually, within a certain deadline date, with the full payment corresponding to the billing period as indicated on the invoice.

In the event that payment cannot be processed within the specified timeframe, please be advised that your account is subject to immediate termination. In such cases, all data associated with your account will be subject to complete deletion at the sole discretion of Cartera.

Cartera, in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify the fees for the Services. For subscriptions, any fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current subscription. Cartera will provide you with reasonable prior notice of any change in subscription fees to give you an opportunity to terminate your subscription before such change becomes effective. Your continued use of the Site after the subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified subscription fee amount.

Any promotions made available through the Site may be governed by rules that are separate from these Terms. If you participate in any promotions, please review the applicable rules as well as our Privacy Policy cartera.io/terms. If the rules for a promotion conflict with these Terms, the promotion rules will apply.

Dispute Resolution

PLEASE READ THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT CAREFULLY.  IT IS PART OF YOUR CONTRACT WITH CARTERA AND AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.  IT CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A className ACTION WAIVER.

Applicability of Arbitration Agreement.  All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Terms or the use of any product or service provided by Cartera that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this arbitration agreement (this ";Arbitration Agreement”).  Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English.  This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and Cartera, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Terms.

Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution.  Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written notice of dispute (";Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief.  A Notice to Cartera should be sent to:

Cartera Financial, Inc.

Attn: Elias Zenkich

elias@cartera.io

After the Notice is received, you and Cartera may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally.  If you and Cartera do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin arbitration proceedings.  The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.

Arbitration Rules.  Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (";AAA”), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (";ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section.  If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider.  The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms.  The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (";Arbitration Rules”) governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.  The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator.  Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief.  For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules.  Any hearing will be held in the State of Delaware, unless the parties agree otherwise.  If you reside outside of Delaware, the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearings. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.

Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration.  If non-appearance based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration.  The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

Time Limits.  If you or Cartera pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the AAA Rules for the pertinent claim.

Authority of Arbitrator.  If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Cartera and the dispute 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 AAA Rules, and the Terms.  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 Cartera.

Waiver of Jury Trial.  THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO THE COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement.  Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court.  In the event any litigation should arise between you and Cartera in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND CARTERA WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.

Waiver of className or Consolidated Actions.  ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A className BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.

Confidentiality.  All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential.  The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law.  This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.

Severability.  If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

Right to Waive.  Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted.  Such a waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement, including the rights set forth in this Arbitration Agreement as they apply to the party asserting the claim.

Survival of Agreement.  This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Cartera.

Small Claims Court.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Cartera may bring an individual action in small claims court.

Emergency Equitable Relief.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration.  A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.

Claims Not Subject to Arbitration.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction.  All legal issues arising from or related to your use of the Site and these Terms shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts entered into and performed within the State of Delaware.  Solely in the event that the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court (a) the parties hereby agree that all matters relating to the Site and these Terms, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) and (b) any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms or the Site shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Delaware, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action, or proceeding against you for breach of these Terms in your country of residence or any other relevant country. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

Venue and Forum Waiver.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, you hereby waive any objection which you may now or hereafter have to an inconvenient venue and/or forum by way of arbitral proceeding in the state of Delaware. If (a) you are not a U.S. citizen; (b) you do not reside in the U.S.; (c) you are not accessing the Site from the U.S.; and (d) you are a citizen of one of the countries identified below, you hereby agree that any dispute, claim, or cause of action arising from these Terms or your use of the Site shall be governed by the applicable law set forth above, without regard to any conflict of law provisions, and you hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the courts located in the state, province or country identified below whose law governs.
