Last updated on 3/11/24

INTRODUCTION.

Welcome to ClaimAngel. This is an Agreement for the use of ClaimAngel between you (also referred to herein generally as “you,” “your,” and “User(s),” or more specifically as “Claimant,” “Funder”, or “Firm”) and Claim Angel Inc (“ClaimAngel,” “we,” “us,” and “our”). This Agreement (“Agreement”) governs your use of the services provided by ClaimAngel described below and such other services that may be offered by ClaimAngel from time to time (“ClaimAngel Services” or “Services”). By accessing, using, and/or registering to use a ClaimAngel account or service through ClaimAngel.com, ClaimAngel"s APIs, the ClaimAngel mobile application, or any other ClaimAngel website (collectively the “ClaimAngel Site”), or by obtaining or providing funding through ClaimAngel, you agree that you have read, understand, and accept all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement including our Privacy Policy(including Cookies), E-Sign Disclosure and Consent Policy, and Arbitration Agreement. You may have to agree to additional terms and conditions to obtain funding through ClaimAngel.

Amendment of this Agreement: We may amend or modify this Agreement at any time by posting the revised agreement on the ClaimAngel Site and/or providing a copy to you (a “Revised Agreement”). The Revised Agreement shall be effective as of the time it is posted but will not apply retroactively. Your continued use of the Services after the posting of a Revised Agreement constitutes your acceptance of such Revised Agreement. If you do not agree with any such modification, your sole and exclusive remedy is to terminate your use of the Services and close your account (as defined below). However, if you choose to terminate your User account for this reason, you will still be bound by the prior Agreement you had consented to, and all terms and conditions applicable to any funding transaction you have participated in.

Key Definitions: As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the stated meanings.

Claim : A Claim is where an individual, group, or entity has been wronged or damaged by another, and has hired an attorney on a contingency fee basis to pursue and recover money from the wrongdoer to compensate them for their damages.

Case Funding : Case Funding is where an attorney or law firm seeks money to cover the costs of pursing one or more contingent fee cases or Claims on behalf of their clients.

Claimant : A Claimant is a User who has a Claim and is seeking funding from a Funder, based on the estimated value of their Claim. A Claimant will repay the Funder, with interest, from their monetary recovery on their Claim.

Firm : A Firm is an individual licensed attorney or law firm seeking Case Funding. A Firm will repay the money received from the Funder, with interest, from the fees obtained on the successful resolution of the cases or matters underlying their Case Funding request.

Funder : A Funder is an individual or business entity who is willing to provide funding to Claimants or Firms in return for a promise to pay back those funds with interest when, respectively, the Claimant obtains their monetary recovery on the funded Claim; or when a Firm obtains their fee(s) from the funded cases, matters, or Claim(s).

Non-Recourse : Non-recourse litigation funding is when a Claimant or Firm receives money from a Funder for a Claim or Case Funding request, and there is no obligation of repayment to the Funder if there is no recovery or fee on the funded Claim(s). All Claim and Case Funding transactions through ClaimAngel are non-recourse funding transactions. ClaimAngel does not facilitate consumer or commercial loans.

No Investment Advice or Brokerage Provided : ClaimAngel provides a platform that brings together Claimants, Firms, and Funders to evaluate and participate in non-recourse transactions (“funding transactions”) related to Claims and Case Funding. ClaimAngel is not an investment, trading, or loan platform. Therefore, ClaimAngel does not provide investment advice, nor does it provide tax or legal advice. You are solely responsible for determining whether any funding transaction available through ClaimAngel is appropriate for you and your financial objectives and circumstances, as well as your own risk tolerance. From time to time, ClaimAngel may provide blog posts or information or links to third- party content related to the purpose of the Site. Such information provided on the ClaimAngel Site or any third-party sites does not constitute investment advice, financial advice, or any other sort of advice, nor should it be treated as such. We will not be held responsible for the decisions you make to participate in a funding transaction available on ClaimAngel or any information provided on the ClaimAngel Site.

Acknowledgement of the Risks of Non-Recourse Funding: In non-recourse litigation funding, if the Claimant or Firm does not obtain a recovery or fee from their cases, matters, or Claims, the Funder may not go after the Claimant"s or Firm"s other assets or otherwise try to collect the money that was funded. Therefore, Funders acknowledge and accept the risk that they may lose all funds provided to a Claimant or Firm.

Acknowledgement of the Costs of Non-Recourse Funding: Because of the risk of total loss for the Funder, non-recourse litigation funding usually requires the Claimant or Firm to agree to pay back the funds received at rates that are much higher than a loan transaction or other forms of financing. Therefore, as a Claimant or Firm receiving such funding, you acknowledge and accept the risk that when you obtain a recovery or fee on your Claim(s), your repayment obligations to the Funder may exhaust and deplete all of the money you would have otherwise received or been paid from your Claim(s).

By using ClaimAngel Services there is no guarantee that you will obtain funding.

Acknowledgment of Attorney Participation and Obligations : Any Claimant"s or Firm"s request for funding found on the ClaimAngel will require the uploading of supporting documentation vetted by the handling attorney or that attorney"s authorized representative. A Claimant"s attorney or Firm will be required to acknowledge and agree that when the monies from a successful Claim are finalized and received, the Funder shall be the first to be repaid and have a primary lien on monies received.

You accept all risk for your use of ClaimAngel and ClaimAngel Services. You should consult with your legal, tax and financial professionals about your specific situation and carefully consider whether participating in a funding transaction is right for you.ClaimAngel is not registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and does not offer securities services in the United States or anywhere, or to U.S. persons or anyone. ClaimAngel is not a depository or bank, and funds or transactions that process through ClaimAngel are not subject to protections or insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC).

5. FUNDING TRANSACTIONS AND FEES.

5.1 Acceptance of Conditions Common to All Funding Transactions. Claimants, Firms, and Funders acknowledge the following applies to all funding transactions completed through ClaimAngel:

a. Funder agrees and acknowledges that Claimant will have no obligation to repay Funder if there are no proceeds from the resolution of the Claim, unless Claimant commits fraud or other misconduct described herein. In other words, Funder understands it may receive no repayment.

b. Funder also agrees and acknowledges that in the event there are not enough proceeds from the successful resolution of the Claim to satisfy all obligations (including repayment to Funder) that Funder may have to accept less than the contracted repayment, whether through negotiation with Claimant and their attorney or through a court or administrative process which ClaimAngel does not control. In other words, Funder understands it may receive less than the contracted repayment.

c. Claimant agrees and acknowledges that the amount Claimant will be obligated to repay Funder from the Proceeds (as defined below) may be at rates substantially higher than a loan or other financing, and that Claimant"s payment obligations to Funder may result in there being no monies available to Claimant from the Proceeds.

e. Claimant acknowledges that Claimant has been provided an opportunity to have all terms and conditions of the funding transaction, including these Terms and Conditions of Use fully explained to Claimant and all questions answered, and has either done so or determined it was not necessary.

f. Funder acknowledges that Funder has been provided an opportunity to have all terms and conditions of the funding transaction, including these Terms and Conditions of Use fully explained to Funder and all questions answered, and has either done so or determined it was not necessary.

g. All Users agree that a completed funding transaction IS NOT A LOAN. A completed funding transaction is a purchase and sale of property rights.

After a User has registered with the Site and their identity and all other information required by us is verified, Claimants and Firms will be able to post requests for funding and Funders will be able to review and evaluate funding requests and initiate an offer to provide funding to Claimants and/or Firms.

5.2.1 The Claim. As a Claimant you have posted a Claim in anticipation that you will be entitled to monetary sums as compensation for personal injuries, medical malpractice, civil rights violations, employer misconduct, clerical abuse, wrongful death, and/or other damages sustained because of an incident/accident that has damaged you. Any monetary sums recovered pursuant to the Claim, and/or from any proceeding arising from the events that are the basis of the Claim, through settlement, verdict, judgement, arbitration, statutory schedule, or otherwise, if any, are referred to as the “ Proceeds ”.

5.2.2 Claimant Warranties and Representations. By participating in a funding transaction, Claimants warrant and represent the following:

a. No Impairments. You are not aware of any Claims, liens, or judgments asserted against you which could materially impair the rights, value, priority, or collectability of the rights sold and assigned to Funder hereunder, except amounts for attorney"s fees, costs of suit advanced by your Attorney, and other liens having priority by operation of law. You shall not create or allow the creation of any interest in or encumbrance on the Proceeds other than an interest, lien, or encumbrance in favor of Funder without Funder"s written agreement.

5.2.8 Premium Positioning. From time to time we may offer an opportunity for a User to pay us an extra fee to have premium or special positioning on our Site to have their funding request(s) be more visible to Funders. If this is offered and if you accept, such purchase will be governed by a separate agreement for your consent at the time of purchase.

5.2.9 No Guarantee of Funding. Your listing of a Claim or Case Funding request on ClaimAngel in no way guarantees that your request will be funded. There is no guarantee it will be seen or reviewed. Funders make the decision to fund in their sole discretion based on the Claim details provided by you.

5.2.10 Offers to Fund. Funders who have been verified will be able to browse and search Claim and Case Funding request listings on the Site through a variety of criteria related to the type of Claim or Case Funding request, such as funding range, date posted, and location. Funders may then make one or more offers to fund through the selection tools provided on the Site.

5.2.11 Supplemental Terms. Once a Funder has agreed to fund a Claim or Case Funding request, the Claimant"s attorney or the Firm seeking funding will be required to complete additional verification documents. ClaimAngel will require supplemental provisions incorporating our Fees terms. These verification documents will be electronically signed and binding upon signing.

5.2.12 Completing the Funding Transaction. Once the verification documents are completed, notices will be given to the parties, and we will request Funder to transfer the funds to ClaimAngel through one of our accepted funding methods or applications. Funders shall have until the following business day to initiate the funds transfer.

5.2.13 Receipt and Disbursement. Once the funds are received by us, we will initiate a transfer of those funds to the Claimant or Firm, deducting our fees in the process. The transfer to the Claimant or Firm shall be via the financial application selected by Claimant or Firm.

5.2.13.1 Acceptance of Dwolla Payment Platform. In order to use ACH and cryptocurrency payment functionality of ClaimAngel, you must open a “Dwolla Platform” account provided by Dwolla, Inc. and you must accept the Dwolla Terms of Service and Dwolla Privacy Policy.

You understand that you will access and manage your Dwolla account through ClaimAngel, and Dwolla account notifications will be sent by ClaimAngel, not Dwolla. We will provide customer support for your Dwolla account activity, and can be reached at support@claimangel.com.

5.2.14 Risk of Cryptocurrency Fluctuations. Users choosing a to send or receive funds via cryptocurrency accept all risk for fluctuations in value that may occur before a transaction is complete. We will not be responsible if its value decreases while the transaction is pending or while a transfer is in process. You will not be allowed to cancel a transaction due to a drop in value once you have accepted the funding documents.

5.3 Payback of Cash Advance. A Claimant or Firm shall always have the right to payback any funding received themselves before any recovery or resolution is completed. Otherwise, once a Claim or case is resolved, Claimants or Firms are obligated to immediately notify ClaimAngel of the result. In the event of no recovery, the Claim will be closed and Funder shall receive nothing. In the event of a recovery, Claimants or Firms agree that monies or fees recovered will first be used to pay back the Funder before the Claimant or Firm (or anyone else to be paid from the monies) is paid. Funder shall be paid according to the terms of the funding documents. If a recovery is less than the amount owed to Funder, the parties shall come to terms between themselves on an amount to be paid to Funder. If an agreement cannot be reached, a court or other administrative process may be used to determine the amount of repayment, and such determination shall be binding. Claimant or Firm shall transfer the agreed payback to ClaimAngel via ACH, credit card or other approved method of payment, and once received and cleared, the funds will be transferred to Funder, and the Claim will be closed.

5.4 Fees.

5.4.1 At Time of Funding. When a transaction is funded, ClaimAngel will collect a three point ninety- nine percent ( 3 .99%) transaction fee from the Claimant/Firm, and a zero point seventy-five percent (.75%) transaction fee from Funder. The transaction fees are calculated based on the amount funded. ClaimAngel will also collect a $49.00 processing fee when the funding is initiated.

5.4.1.1 Buyout of a Prior Funding. If a Claimant/Firm has previously obtained funding on their Claim, and then obtains more funding for the same Claim from a new Funder, the original Funder"s contract must be bought out by the new Funder. This is a “buyout funding” and ClaimAngel will collect a one point ninety-nine percent ( 1 .99%) transaction fee from the Claimant/Firm on the buyout amount. ClaimAngel will also collect the fees described in Section 5.4.1 based on the amount of the new funding obtained, as well as the processing fee.

5.4.1.2 Additional Funding Request. If a Claimant/Firm obtains additional funding on their Claim from the same Funder, that is called an additional funding request, and no buyout is required. The additional funding request will have a new separate contract. For the new contract, ClaimAngel will collect the fees described in Section 5.4.1 based on the amount of the new funding obtained, as well as the processing fee.

5.4.2 At Time of Repayment. When repayment is made, ClaimAngel will collect a one point ninety- nine percent ( 1 .99%) transaction fee from the Claimant/Firm, and a zero point seventy-five percent (.75%) transaction fee from Funder. Fees are calculated based on the amount repaid.

5.4.3 In its sole discretion, ClaimAngel may charge lower or higher transaction fees for any particular funding transaction, but any such fluctuations will be disclosed in the funding documents and agreed to by Claimant and Funder.

5.4.4 Other fees. ClaimAngel reserves the right to, and may pass any along other fees incurred due to a funding transaction, including but not limited third party verification fees, credit card fees, processing fees, and ACH fees, to the Claimant, Firm, or Funder and deduct such fees from funds received or paid out. Such fees shall be disclosed in the funding documents.

5.5 Risks of Non-Recourse Funding. Funders acknowledge that there is always a risk that a Claimant or Firm will recover nothing on a Claim or case, and in such event you will receive nothing and have no right to pursue re-payment. Claimants and Firms acknowledge that because of the risk of zero payback that Funders accept, you may pay significantly more to repay the funding received than you would if you obtained a conventional loan or other traditional financing for your financial needs, and may end up with no additional money from your case or Claim. All Users accept and agree to these risks.

5.6 Attorney Acknowledgement Required. As part of all funding transactions, the representing attorney will be required to acknowledge and agree to use any proceeds from a Claim to satisfy your obligation to the Funder before disbursing monies to anyone else, and that Funder has a priority first position lien on any monies received from the successful resolution of your Claim or case.

5.7 No Liability for Delays. ClaimAngel will make reasonable efforts to ensure that requests for electronic debits and credits involving bank accounts, credit cards, and check issuances are processed in a timely manner, but ClaimAngel makes no representations or warranties regarding the amount of time needed to complete the processing of a funding transaction, which is dependent upon many factors outside of our control.

11. ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER; AND WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU AND CLAIMANGEL TO AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION.

11.1 Applicability and Scope of Arbitration Agreement. In this Section 1 1 (the “Arbitration Agreement”), you and ClaimAngel, our members, managers, officers, employees, affiliates, parent companies, subsidiaries, contractors, licensors, and suppliers (collectively the “ClaimAngel Parties”) agree that all Claims and disputes (whether contract, tort, or otherwise), including all statutory Claims and disputes, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the use of the Services that cannot be resolved in small Claims court will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, except that you and the ClaimAngel Parties are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents. To be clear: the phrase “all Claims and disputes” also includes Claims and disputes that arose between us before the effective date of this Agreement. In addition, all disputes concerning the arbitrability of a Claim (including disputes about the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement) shall be decided by the arbitrator, except as expressly provided below.

11.2 Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act, including its procedural provisions, governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute-resolution provision, and not state law. Arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) (https://adr.org/). If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum, and if they cannot agree, will ask the court to appoint an arbitrator pursuant to 9 U.S.C. § 5. If you are an individual, the AAA"s Consumer Arbitration Rules will govern all aspects of this arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with this Agreement. If you are a business entity, the AAA"s Commercial Arbitration Rules will govern all aspects of this arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with this Agreement. In either case, the arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

11.3 Fees. The AAA sets forth fees for its services, which are available athttps://adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer_Fee_Schedule_2.pdf. If ClaimAngel is the party initiating an arbitration against a User who is an individual, ClaimAngel will pay all costs associated with the arbitration, including the entire filing fee. If a User who is an individual is the party initiating an arbitration against the ClaimAngel Parties, you will be responsible for the $200 nonrefundable Consumer Case Filing Fee, and ClaimAngel will pay all other fees required by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. Business entities will be responsible for their share of any arbitration costs no matter who initiates the arbitrations. Any party may make a request that the arbitrator award attorneys" fees and costs to the prevailing party or upon proving that the other party has asserted a Claim, cross-Claim, or defense that is groundless in fact or law, brought in bad faith, or for the purpose of harassment, or is otherwise frivolous, unless prohibited by applicable law and the applicable AAA Arbitration Rules.

11.4 Authority of the Arbitrator. The arbitrator will decide the jurisdiction of the arbitrator and the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and the ClaimAngel Parties. The dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any Claim or dispute. The arbitrator may award any relief allowed by law or the applicable AAA Arbitration Rules, but declaratory or injunctive relief may be awarded only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the Claimant"s individual Claim. The arbitrator will 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 award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and the ClaimAngel Parties.

11.5 Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND CLAIMANGEL WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and ClaimAngel are instead electing to have Claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In any litigation between you and ClaimAngel over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, YOU AND CLAIMANGEL WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.

11.6 Waiver of Class 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 CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration; instead, all Claims and disputes will be resolved in a court.

11.7 Confidentiality. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party shall be prevented from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Arbitration Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.

11.8 Venue. Individuals making an arbitration Claim will have the option of initiating an arbitration Claim in their state of residence (so long as it is a U.S. State or the District of Columbia), or in the venue established in Section 12.2. Business entities making an arbitration claim will be required to use the venue established in Section 12.2

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