General Disclosures

The Service is only suitable, intended and available for Accredited Investors who are members of AcreTrader and familiar with, and willing to accept the risks associated with private investments. Investors must be willing to have their status as Accredited Investors and suitability verified by AcreTrader, its affiliates and/or third parties. AcreTrader does not endorse any of the opportunities that appear on the Site, nor does it make any recommendations regarding the appropriateness of particular opportunities for any Investor or with respect to the advisability of investing in general. Each Investor must review and evaluate the investments in the Investor’s own discretion and determine the suitability of making the particular investment in light of the Investor’s own circumstances.

AcreTrader and its affiliates do not give or offer any business, investment, tax or legal advice to anyone using the Site or Service. The Service provided by AcreTrader is defined herein. All Investors must certify that they are accredited, attest that they are suitable for this type of illiquid investment and acknowledge that they have received and read all investment terms and conditions.

Fluctuations in the value of the assets that are the subject of any investment are to be expected. Additional risks of investing exist due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, inflation, interest rates, leverage, property operations, business risks, management and environmental liabilities. There is a potential for loss of part or ALL of the investment capital, and each Investor should understand that all capital invested may be lost. Investors should only consider these investments if they have no need for liquidity and can bear the risk of losing their entire investment.

AcreTrader does not make investment recommendations, and no communication through the Site or in any other medium should be construed as such. Investment opportunities posted on the Site are “private placements” of securities that are not publicly traded, are subject to holding period requirements, and are intended for investors who do not need a liquid investment. Private placement investments are NOT bank deposits (and thus NOT insured by the FDIC or by any other federal governmental agency), are NOT guaranteed by AcreTrader, and MAY lose value. Investors must be able to afford the loss of their entire investment.

Securities matters

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any federal or state securities commission or any other regulatory authority has recommended or approved of the investment or the accuracy or inaccuracy of any of the information or materials provided by or through the website. Direct and indirect purchase of real estate property involves significant risks, including, but not limited to, risks related to the sale of land, market and industry risks and risks specific to a given property. Investments are not bank deposits, are not insured by the FDIC or by any other Federal Government Agency, are not guaranteed by AcreTrader, and may lose value. By investing, you are purchasing an ownership interest in an entity that will generally hold title to the land. You are not purchasing or investing directly in any real estate.

Investments listed on this Site are only suitable for Accredited Investors who are familiar with and willing to accept the high risk and illiquidity associated with private investments. To qualify as an accredited investor, you must meet certain thresholds as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Rule 501 of Regulation D.

  • Purchaser is a trust, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000, not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the LLC Interests, whose purchase is directed by a person who has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to evaluate the merits and risks of the prospective investment.

Please see also accredited investors on the SEC website for more information.

Securities sold through private placements are not publicly traded and, therefore, are less liquid. Additionally, Investors may receive restricted units that may be subject to holding period requirements. Investing in private placements requires high risk tolerance, low liquidity concerns, and long-term commitments. Investors must be able to afford to lose their entire investment. For those reasons, these offerings may be made available only to certain institutional investors as well as high net worth individuals and entities. As with all alternative investments, investors must meet certain eligibility tests to qualify as purchasers. See our Risks Statement here for more information.

Miscellaneous terms
NO AGENCY
Each of AcreTrader and you are independent contractors and no agency, partnership, joint venture, employer-employee or franchisor-franchisee relationship is intended or created by this Agreement or your use of the Site or Service.
Integration and severability

This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and AcreTrader with respect to the Service and use of the Site and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written or electronic) between you and AcreTrader with respect to the Site. If any provision of the Terms of Use is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.

Governing law; Arbitration; Class action waiver

This Agreement (and any further rules, policies or guidelines incorporated by reference herein) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law.

While we hope never to have a dispute​ with a User​, if we do, User and AcreTrader each agree to try for sixty (60) days to resolve it informally. If we ​collectively ​fail to resolve such dispute (and unless otherwise agreed in writing by User and AcreTrader), any dispute arising out of or relating to the Agreement, or the breach hereof, shall be finally resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. If parties are unable to select an arbitrator, then AAA shall select the arbitrator. Judgment on any award entered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, USER AND ACRETRADER EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. We also both agree that you or we may bring a suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

Where permitted under applicable law, UUser and AcreTrader each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. Unless ​User and AcreTrader both agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

No waiver

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