Each party agrees to submit any Dispute for resolution by final binding arbitration after serving written notice, which notice shall set forth in detail the controversy, question, claim or alleged breach along with your attempt to resolve such Dispute. Upon such notice and attempt to resolve, the party may then commence an arbitration proceeding pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") to be held in Orlando, Florida, before one arbitrator to be selected by the AAA. Any such arbitration may only be commenced within one year after the party requesting arbitration obtains knowledge of the cause of action forming the basis of the controversy or claim accrued.
In any arbitration and subject to the ultimate discretion of the presiding arbitrator, each side will be limited to a maximum of one (1) day of argument (including rebuttal), and the parties agree in good faith to minimize discovery burdens (e.g. confine the scope to actual areas in dispute and limit the topics and number of pages on which information is requested to matters directly relevant). The decision(s) of the arbitrator shall be final and binding and may not be appealed to any court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise, except upon claim of fraud or corruption as by law provided, provided, however, that implementation of such decision(s) shall in no way be delayed or otherwise impaired pending the outcome of any such appeal. Judgment upon the award rendered in such arbitration may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. You agree that all Disputes will be limited between you, individually, and Silicon Prairie.

This website (the "Site") is owned by Silicon Prairie Holdings, Inc. and is used by Silicon Prairie, Inc. (“Silicon Prairie”) and Silicon Prairie Solutions LLC ("Silicon Prairie Solutions"). Silicon Prairie, Inc. is registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a funding portal (“Portal”) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Silicon Prairie, Inc. offers investments to everyone over 18 years of age under Title III Regulation Crowdfunding. By using this Site, you are subject to our Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy.
Silicon Prairie is a Funding Portal, not investment advisors so we do not provide investment advice, make investment recommendations, endorse or guarantee any offering on this Site or on the App in any way, shape, or form. Potential investors must make their own independent investment decisions and are strongly encouraged to consult with their independent legal, tax and financial advisors before investing. Past performance of a security or a company does not guarantee future results or returns.
Please remember, that investing in private companies is always risky and you should only invest an amount you are willing to lose. Selling your investments is unlikely since there isn't generally a market for Reg CF regulated securities. Also, be aware that a 2% ACH transaction fee or a 3.75% fee electronic debit/credit will be added to any investment you make depending on your payment method and is non-refundable.
