Website Disclosures

Any offering by Align, its affiliates, or ventures within its network is made only through definitive offering documents (such as a subscription agreement, private placement memorandum, or equivalent), only to persons eligible under applicable law (which may include accredited-investor, qualified-purchaser, or comparable requirements in the relevant jurisdiction), and only pursuant to available exemptions from registration or prospectus requirements. The information on this Site is qualified in its entirety by any such offering documents, which control in the event of any inconsistency.

Content on this Site — including blog posts, portfolio descriptions, and commentary — reflects the views of its authors as of the date written, is provided for general information only, and does not constitute investment, legal, tax, accounting, or other professional advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any asset. It is not tailored to the circumstances of any person, and no content on this Site takes into account your objectives, financial situation, or needs.

You should consult your own legal, tax, and financial advisers before making any investment or financial decision. You may not rely on any content on this Site as the basis for any decision, and Align accepts no liability for any loss arising from any use of, or reliance on, this Site or its content, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Align operates as a venture studio and network. Align is not registered as a broker-dealer, investment adviser, exchange, or funding portal with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, FINRA, or any other securities regulator, and nothing on this Site should be understood as an indication of such registration or licensing, except as may be expressly stated in writing.

[Counsel note: confirm and tailor this section to reflect the entity's actual regulatory status, licenses, and available exemptions in each jurisdiction in which it operates or solicits.]

Align may, from time to time, share information about startups in its network with investors, or introduce founders and investors to one another. Any such sharing or introduction:

is provided for informational and networking purposes only, and does not constitute a recommendation, endorsement, solicitation, or offer by Align of any investment, or advice that any investment is suitable for any person;

does not mean that Align has verified, performed due diligence on, or vouches for any startup, founder, investor, or the accuracy of any materials shared — each party is solely responsible for its own independent investigation and diligence;

does not make Align a party to, or agent, broker, placement agent, underwriter, or adviser in respect of, any resulting transaction, and Align does not negotiate terms, handle investor funds, or provide transaction documents on behalf of either party except as expressly agreed in writing; and

creates no obligation on Align, and any transaction between introduced parties is entered into directly between them, at their own risk, and subject to their own documentation and applicable law.

Access to any information about specific opportunities may be limited to persons who meet applicable eligibility requirements in their jurisdiction, and Align reserves the right to decline to share information with, or accept applications from, any person for any reason.

Figures presented on this Site — such as aggregate value across ventures, capital raised, investor counts, and portfolio-company revenue — are provided solely to illustrate the scale of Align's activities. Unless otherwise stated, such figures:

are estimates prepared internally by Align, are unaudited, and have not been reviewed or verified by any independent party;

may reflect valuations based on the most recent financing rounds or internal marks, which are inherently uncertain, may never be realized, and can decline significantly, particularly for early-stage and digital-asset ventures;

are aggregated across ventures and time periods and are not representative of the performance of any single venture or of results any investor did or will achieve;

may include unrealized amounts, gross figures before fees and expenses, and amounts attributable to parties other than Align; and

speak only as of the date they were prepared and may not reflect subsequent developments.

Investing in early-stage companies and in businesses connected to blockchain, digital assets, or artificial intelligence involves a high degree of risk, and is suitable only for persons who can bear the loss of their entire investment. Risks include, without limitation:

total loss of capital — most early-stage ventures fail, and investments are typically illiquid, with no assurance of any secondary market, distribution, or exit;

extreme price volatility of digital assets and tokens, which can lose most or all of their value rapidly and without warning;

legal and regulatory uncertainty — the treatment of digital assets is evolving and inconsistent across jurisdictions and may adversely affect ventures, tokens, or investors, including through enforcement actions, reclassification, or changes in law;

technology risks, including smart-contract vulnerabilities, protocol failures, custody and key-management failures, hacks, exploits, and fraud prevalent in the digital-asset ecosystem;

venture risks, including valuation uncertainty, limited operating history, unproven business models, dependence on key personnel, and dilution in subsequent financing rounds; and

structural risks, including concentration, conflicts of interest, and information asymmetries inherent in venture-studio and network models.

This list is not exhaustive. Any offering documents will contain a fuller statement of risks, which you must read in their entirety before investing. Never invest more than you can afford to lose.

This Site may contain forward-looking statements — statements about plans, expectations, projections, targets, or beliefs concerning future events, including the prospects of ventures in our network. Words such as "will," "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "target," "aim," and similar expressions identify such statements. Forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, are based on assumptions that may prove incorrect, and involve known and unknown risks beyond our control. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied. Align undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, and you should not place any reliance on them.

Align, its principals, employees, and affiliates may hold equity, tokens, advisory positions, board seats, or other economic interests in ventures described on this Site; may receive fees, carried interest, or other compensation in connection with those ventures; may buy or sell interests in them at any time; and may have interests that differ from, or conflict with, those of investors or other network participants. Content on this Site should be read with these potential conflicts in mind. Material conflicts relevant to a specific offering will be disclosed in that offering's documents.

Any statements on this Site attributable to founders, investors, or other participants in the Align network reflect those individuals' own views and experiences, may not be representative of the experience of others, and are no guarantee of future performance or success. Unless expressly stated, no compensation was provided for such statements; if any endorsement was compensated or given by a person with a material relationship to Align, that fact will be disclosed alongside it.

Certain information on this Site is derived from third-party sources believed to be reliable. Align has not independently verified such information and makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to its accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any purpose. Links to third-party sites are provided for convenience only and do not constitute endorsement, and Align accepts no responsibility for their content.

The Site is not directed at, and its content is not intended for distribution to or use by, any person in any jurisdiction where such publication, availability, or use would be contrary to law or regulation, or would subject Align or its affiliates to any registration or licensing requirement. Persons who access the Site do so on their own initiative and are responsible for informing themselves about, and observing, all applicable restrictions in their own jurisdictions.

Content on this Site is provided "as is," may contain errors or become outdated, and may be changed or removed at any time without notice. Align is under no obligation to update it and assumes no duty of care to any reader. In the event of any inconsistency between this Site and definitive offering, subscription, or transaction documents, those documents control in all respects.
