Critical Elements Included for Your Business Model:
The “Cooling-Off” Clause (Section 3): Since you use 506(b), you cannot show a deal to a stranger the second they sign up. This clause legally covers you by stating that registration is just the start of the relationship vetting process, not an instant ticket to buy.
Confidentiality (Section 5): Vital for VC. If a user leaks a startup’s pitch deck to a journalist, this clause gives you the grounds to ban them immediately.
Risk Disclosure (Section 6): Specifically highlights “Illiquidity,” which is the most common complaint from inexperienced private market investors.
