When you access bkln.com, referred to herein as the Platform, you are agreeing to be bound by the following Terms and Conditions, as well as the Brooklyn Investment Group (BKLN) Privacy Policy linked here both of which may be updated by us from time to time without notice to you. Please review them carefully.

The section below titled “Arbitration Clause” requires all claims to be resolved by way of binding arbitration. The section below titled “Class Action Waiver” contains a binding class action waiver. Please read both sections carefully, as they affect your legal rights.

In general, references to “BKLN” on the Platform refer to “Brooklyn Investment Group, LLC”, and references to our “investment tool” refer to the use of our optimizer after the user’s initial search.

BKLN visitors are users who visit the Platform and establish an account. Visitors are able to view community strategies and use our search feature. A visitor is only able to create their own custom investment strategy when they become a registered user and answer our suitability questions, which is prompted before they use our investment tool to optimize their custom strategy. Once a registered user is ready to invest in their strategy, they will sign up to become a BKLN client, register with our brokerage partner, Apex Clearing, and link their funding account through our ACH partner, Plaid.

The provision of advisory services to BKLN retail clients is governed by the BKLN Client Agreements or, for registered users solely using our investment search tool, the Registered User Agreement. The provision of advisory services to BKLN for Advisors clients is governed by the BKLN for Advisors client agreements. The provision of services by BKLN LLC is governed by the BKLN terms and conditions. Each of the foregoing client agreements, collectively and individually, are referred to herein as the “Client Agreements.” You should read any of the applicable Client Agreements carefully before determining whether to engage BKLN to provide you with advisory services.

In using the publicly available portions of the Platform, you agree that you are responsible for your own investment research and decisions, that you will not rely on the Platform as the primary basis for your investment decisions, and, except as otherwise provided herein, BKLN will not be liable for any actions you take based on information you receive via the publicly available portions of the Platform.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in these Terms and Conditions to the contrary, in the event of any conflict between the Terms and Conditions and a Client Agreement, the Client Agreement shall control.

BKLN makes no representation regarding the likelihood or probability that any actual or hypothetical investment will in fact achieve a particular outcome or perform in any predictable manner.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future success and returns in any period may be far above or below those of a previous period. No representation is being made that any investment will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those achieved in the past, or that significant losses will be avoided. Investing involves risk and investments at BKLN may lose value.

In the event of a dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement, the Content, or the Platform (each, a “Dispute”), either party may elect to finally and exclusively resolve the dispute by binding arbitration governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). Any election to arbitrate, at any time, shall be final and binding on the other party. If either party chooses arbitration, neither party shall have the right to litigate such claim in court or to have a jury trial, except either party may bring its claim in its local small claims court, if permitted by that small claims court rules and if within such court’s jurisdiction. Arbitration is different from court, and discovery and appeal rights may also be limited in arbitration. All disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator selected jointly by the parties, whose decision will be final, except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted by theJudicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) pursuant to its then current Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those rules, or, where appropriate, pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. All applicable JAMS’ rules and procedures are available at the JAMS website www.jamsadr.com. Each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules. Judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. If conducted in person, the arbitration shall take place in the United States county where you reside. The parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay a proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The parties shall cooperate in good faith in the voluntary and informal exchange of all non-privileged documents and other information (including electronically stored information) relevant to the Dispute immediately after commencement of the arbitration. Nothing in this Agreement will prevent us from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to protect our proprietary interests.

You agree that any arbitration or proceeding shall be limited to the Dispute between us and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (i) no arbitration or proceeding shall be joined with any other; (ii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated or resolved on a class action-basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (iii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. You agree that you may bring claims against us only in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.

Any waiver of any provision contained in these Terms and Conditions shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other right, term, or provision of these Terms and Conditions. If any provision in these Terms and Conditions is determined to be wholly or partially invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be enforced to the extent it is legal and valid and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall in no way be affected or impaired thereby.

You may not assign these Terms and Conditions (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of BKLN, and any prohibited assignment will be null and void. BKLN may assign these Terms and Conditions or any rights hereunder without your consent.

We reserve the right to change these Terms and Conditions by posting a revised agreement. If you don't agree with these changes, you must stop using the Platform. The information on the Platform is subject to change without notice.
