Securities
- The securities offered on the Platform are only suitable for prospective investors who are familiar with and willing to accept the high risks associated with private investments, including the risk of complete loss of your investment. Securities sold through CineBlock Films are not publicly traded and, therefore, are illiquid. Securities will be subject to restrictions on resale or transfer including holding period requirement of one year.
- The securities being offered have not been registered under the Securities Act, in reliance on the exemption provisions under Section 4(a)(6). Users must read each Issuer’s offering memorandum and disclosures for more information and discuss any questions with each Issuer directly prior to investing. No governmental agency has reviewed the offerings posted on this Platform and no state or federal agency has passed upon either the adequacy of the disclosure contained herein or fairness of the terms of any offering. The exceptions relied upon for such offerings are significantly dependent upon the accuracy of the representations of the Issuers in connection with an offering on the Platform. In the event that any such representations prove to be untrue, the registration exemptions relied upon by an Issuer in selling the securities might not be available and substantial liability to such issuer would result under applicable securities laws for rescission or damages.

- Any claims arising out of or relating to this agreement, including its formation, enforceability, performance, or breach (each, a “Claim”) where the total amount in controversy is less than US$10,000, shall be resolved via binding arbitration initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at
https://adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. AAA and the parties must comply with the following rules: (a) if either party requests an in-person hearing the process shall be governed by subsection (c) below, otherwise, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (b) the arbitration shall be conducted by an arbitrator in Kent County, Delaware who is approved or otherwise affiliated with the AAA; (c) if either party requests an in-person hearing, (i) the arbitrator shall decide whether a hearing is necessary or whether the arbitration shall proceed as described in subsection (a) above, (ii) if the arbitrator deems that a hearing is necessary, the hearing shall occur at a mutually agreed upon location, or, if the parties are unable to agree on a location, at a location that is reasonably convenient to you and is selected by the arbitrator, and (iii) either party may elect to participate in an in-person hearing by phone, unless the arbitrator decides otherwise; (d) the arbitrator may award injunctive or declaratory relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim; (e) unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding; and (f) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If subparagraph (e) above is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Mandatory Arbitration provision shall be null and void. Only a court and not the arbitrator can decide issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this “Dispute Resolution” section. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND CINEBLOCK FILMS ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION WITH RESPECT TO THE CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court in Kent County, Delaware. - Any Claims you bring against us must be resolved in accordance with this “Dispute Resolution” section. All Claims filed or brought contrary to this “Dispute Resolution” section shall be considered improperly filed and void. Should you file a Claim contrary to this “Dispute Resolution” section, we may recover attorneys’ fees and costs up to $1,000, provided that we have notified you in writing of the improperly filed Claim, and you have failed to promptly withdraw the Claim.
