ALL USERS: CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC TRANSACTIONS AND DISCLOSURES

Because the Backabl financial platform operates only on the Internet, whether you choose to participate on our platform as a borrower, lender or in any other manner, it is necessary for you to consent to transact business with us online and electronically. As part of doing business with us and lenders on the Backabl platform, therefore, we also need you to consent to our giving you certain disclosures electronically, either via our Site or to the email address you provide to us. By agreeing to the Terms of Use, you agree to receive electronically all documents, communications, notices, contracts, and agreements (including any IRS Form 1099) arising from or relating to your use of the Site and Service, including any loans you may request or receive, your registration as a borrower or investor on our Site, any loans you may fund, notes you have purchased, your use of this Service, and the servicing of your loan, if funded, as either a borrower or lender of Backabl (each, a “Disclosure”), from us, whether we are acting in the capacity as trustee or otherwise. An IRS Form 1099 refers to any Form 1099 or other Form, Schedule or information statement, including corrections of such documents, required to be provided pursuant to U.S. Internal Revenue Service rules and regulations and that may be provided electronically (each, an “IRS Form 1099”). The decision to do business with us and lenders on the Backal network electronically is yours. This document informs you of your rights concerning Disclosures.

CUSTOMER COMMUNICATIONS: By accepting these Terms of Use, you expressly consent to be contacted by us, our agents, representatives, affiliates, or anyone calling on our behalf for any and all purposes, at any telephone number, or physical or electronic address you provide or at which you may be reached. You agree we may contact you in any way, including SMS messages (including text messages), calls using prerecorded messages or artificial voice, and calls and messages delivered using auto telephone dialing system or an automatic texting system. Automated messages may be played when the telephone is answered, whether by you or someone else. In the event that an agent or representative calls, he or she may also leave a message on your answering machine, voice mail, or send one via text.

You consent to receive SMS messages (including text messages), calls and messages (including prerecorded and artificial voice and autodialed) from us, our agents, representatives, affiliates or anyone calling on our behalf at the specific number(s) you have provided to us, or numbers we can reasonably associate with your account (through skip trace, caller ID capture or other means), with information or questions about your application, loan and/or account. You certify, warrant and represent that the telephone numbers that you have provided to us are your numbers and not someone else’s. You represent that you are permitted to receive calls at each of the telephone numbers you have provided to us. You agree to alert us whenever you stop using a particular telephone number.

We offer you the chance to enroll to receive SMS/text messages from Backabl, such as account-related news and alerts and/or offers for products and services. By enrolling in Backabl’s SMS/text messaging service, you agree to receive text messages from Backabl to your mobile phone number provided, and you certify that your mobile number provided is true and accurate and that you are authorized to enroll the designated mobile number to receive such text messages. You acknowledge and agree that the text messages may be sent using an automatic telephone dialing system and that standard message and data rates apply. Consent to receive SMS/text messages is not required as a condition of purchase.

To unsubscribe from text messages at any time, reply STOP to any text message you receive from Backabl. You consent that following such a request to unsubscribe, you may receive one final text message from Backabl confirming your request. For help, contact us at support@backabl.com.

TELEMARKETING CALLS: If you have provided consent for telemarketing calls, you agree that (i) we, our agents, representatives, affiliates, third parties, and anyone calling on our behalf may call, email or SMS messages (including text messages) you at the numbers and addresses you have provided for purposes of describing goods and services that may be of interest to you, offered by us, our affiliates and/or third parties; (ii) agree these calls, text and email messages may be made using an automatic dialing or email system technology and/or involve prerecorded and/or artificial voice messaging. Your consent, if provided, will be effective even if the number you have provided is registered on any state or federal Do-Not-Call (DNC) list. This consent for telemarketing calls shall remain in effect until you revoke it. Your consent to telemarketing calls may be revoked by informing the telemarketing representative, or any other method, which ensures we receive the revocation.

Your consent to telemarketing calls is not a condition of obtaining your loan.

You also understand that your cellular or mobile telephone provider will charge you according to the type of plan you carry.

Opt-Out: You can revoke your consent by contacting us via email at support@backabl.com.

CALL RECORDING AND MONITORING: You consent to the recording and monitoring, for quality assurance, training, risk management and/or collection purposes, of any call that you place with us (or our agents, representatives, affiliates, third parties or anyone calling on our behalf) or that we (or our agents, representatives, affiliates, third parties or anyone calling on our behalf) place to you.

Electronic Communications. Any Disclosures will be provided to you electronically through Backabl.com either on our Site or via electronic mail to the email address you provided. If you require paper copies of such Disclosures, you may sign in to your account on our Site and print the documents. If you do not consent to receive an IRS Form 1099 electronically when you agree to these Terms of Use or subsequently revoke such consent, a paper copy of any IRS Form 1099 required to be delivered to you after the effective time of your failure to consent or revocation of consent will be sent to you at no cost. However, a fee may be charged for any additional or replacement copies of such IRS Form 1099. A request for a paper copy of any Disclosure will not be considered a withdrawal of your consent to receive Disclosures electronically. Any IRS 1099 Forms provided electronically will remain accessible through at least October 15 of the year in which such IRS Form 1099 is made available; after that time the IRS Form 1099 may no longer be accessible electronically. We may discontinue electronic provision of Disclosures at any time in our sole discretion.

Scope of Consent. Your consent to receive Disclosures and transact business electronically, and our agreement to do so, applies to any transactions to which such Disclosures relate, whether between you and Backabl or between you and lenders on the Backabl network. Your consent will remain in effect for so long as you are a User and, if you are no longer a User, will continue until such a time as all Disclosures relevant to transactions that occurred while you were a User have been made.

If you have already received a loan, all previously agreed to terms and conditions will remain in effect, and we will send Disclosures to your verified home address provided during registration (except with regard to participants in our Small Business lending program, as discussed under “Terms Applicable to Business and Other Entity Users” below). If you are an lender on the Site and you withdraw your consent to receive Disclosures electronically, you may continue to contribute funds to requests on the Site.
