Consent to Electronic Transactions and Disclosures

Because Pacific City Funding, LLC operates only on the Internet, you must consent to conduct business with us and receive disclosures electronically. You agree to receive electronically all documents, communications, notices, contracts, and agreements, including any IRS Form 1099, related to (i) any loans you may request or receive, (ii) your registration as a borrower or investor on our Site, (iii) any loans you may receive from us, (iv) your use of this Service, or (v) the servicing of your loan, (each, a “Disclosure”). The term “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. The decision to do business with us electronically is yours. This document informs you of your rights concerning any Disclosures. Before you decide to do business electronically with us, you should consider whether you have the required hardware and software capabilities described below. 

Electronic Communications

Any Disclosures will be provided to you electronically through pacificcityfunding.com either through the Service or via electronic mail to the email address you provided. If you require paper copies of such Disclosures, you may write to us at the mailing address provided below, and a paper copy will be sent to you. If you do not consent to receive an IRS Form 1099 electronically, a paper copy of any IRS Form 1099 required to be delivered to you at no cost after the effective time of your failure to consent or revocation of consent will be sent to you. 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 the 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 (or your agents) and us. Your consent will remain in effect for as 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. 

Withdrawing Consent

You may withdraw your consent to receive Disclosures electronically by contacting us at the address below. However, once you have withdrawn your consent, you will not be able to submit loan requests on our Service. If you have a pending loan request on our Service when you withdraw your consent to receive Disclosures electronically, we will terminate your request and remove it from our system. 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. If you are an investor member on the Service and you withdraw your consent to receive Disclosures electronically, you may continue to contribute funds to requests on the Service. If you have already purchased one or more loans, all previously agreed-to terms and conditions will remain in effect, and we will send Disclosures to your verified home address provided during registration. If you are a property marketplace customer, you may no longer be able to access any listings.

If you withdraw your consent to receive IRS Forms 1099 electronically, we will confirm your withdrawal and its effective date in writing by email. Such withdrawal will take effect for the calendar year in which it is made as long as it is made before November 1 of that calendar year.

User Opt-In: By providing your mobile phone number to us, you are voluntarily opting in to the Program, and you agree to receive recurring mobile messages from us at the mobile phone number associated with your opt-in, even if such a number is registered on any state or federal “Do Not Call” list.

If you change your mobile phone number or are no longer the owner or authorized user of the mobile phone number, you agree to promptly notify us at info@pacificcityfunding.com. Your participation in the Program is not required to make any purchase from us, and your participation in the Program is completely voluntary.

You may continue to receive text messages for a short period while we process your request, and you may receive a one-time opt-out confirmation message.

If you want to join the Program again, just sign up as you did the first time, and we will start sending messages to you again. For support, reply HELP to any mobile message from us.

Our mobile messaging platform may not recognize requests that modify the foregoing commands, and you agree that we and our service providers will not be liable for failing to honor requests that do not comply with the requirements in these Mobile Messaging Terms. We may also change the telephone number or short code we use to operate the Program, and we will notify you of any such change. You acknowledge that any requests sent to a telephone number or short code that has been changed may not be received by us, and we will not be responsible for failing to honor a request sent to a telephone number or short code that has been changed.

Disclaimer of Warranty and Liability: The Program is offered on an “as-is” basis and may not be available in all areas, at all times, or on all mobile providers. You agree that neither we nor our service providers will be liable for any failed, delayed, or misdirected delivery of any mobile message or information sent through the Program.

Modifications: We may modify or cancel the Program or any of its features at any time, with or without notice. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may also modify these Mobile Messaging Terms at any time. Any such modification will take effect when it is posted to our website. You agree to review these Mobile Messaging Terms periodically to ensure that you are aware of any modifications. Your continued participation in the Program will constitute your acceptance of those modifications.

Monitoring and Recording Communications

Promotions

From time to time, we may offer promotions or special opportunities (“Promotions”) on our Site. The Promotions may come in the form of incentives, such as, without limitation, credits or fee discounts. We may set or change the incentive types, amounts, terms, restrictions, and qualification requirements for any Promotion in our sole discretion and we reserve the right to cancel any active Promotion at any time.

As part of a Promotion, we may offer you incentives to refer third parties, including real estate agents, to the Pacific City Funding community (a “Referral Program”). When you enter such a Referral Program or respond to such opportunity, we may require the submission of your name, e-mail address, postal address and other personally identifiable information. Any information collected by Pacific City Funding under a Referral Program shall be governed by Pacific City Funding’s Privacy Policy. We will use this personally identifiable information for purposes of managing the Promotion or opportunity, and may share this information with our affiliates and other service providers. Your participation in such a Referral Program is subject to these Terms of Use, including the Referral Program Rules, along with the terms and conditions specific to the Referral Program. 

Referral Program Rules

Program Overview

Referral Programs offered by PCF shall provide Users who are interested in referring their friends, real estate agents, or other third parties (“Referrers”) the opportunity to refer eligible individuals to join the PCF community. These Referral Program Rules apply to both referrers and referred Users, so please read carefully to understand your respective rights and obligations. 

Referrer and Referred Eligibility

To be eligible to participate in a Referral Program as a referrer, you must meet the eligibility requirements outlined in our Terms of Use. Additionally, any referred real estate agent or third party must also meet the eligibility requirements specified in our Terms of Use. Referred real estate agents are also required to possess all legally necessary licenses, registrations, approvals, or exemptions for their practice to be eligible to participate in a Referral Program. If you violate these Terms of Use, including the Referral Program Rules, or the specific terms and conditions of a Referral Program, PCF may suspend or terminate your ability to participate in such a Referral Program under any or all of your accounts.

How to Refer New Users

You may invite individuals to become new Users directly through the applicable portion of the Site by entering or providing PCF with your invitee’s contact information (any such information collected by PCF shall be governed by PCF’s Privacy Policy). Inviting an individual through our Site may generate an automatic invitation text (SMS) or email (the “Invitation”) to the person which may be sent via email, through your phone number or a number controlled by PCF. Referrers or the referred parties may receive promotional credits, fee discounts, or other forms of incentives for participating in a Referral Program, subject to the specific terms and conditions of such Referral Program. You represent that you have the necessary consent from your invitee to send them the Invitation 

Referral Rewards

You may be eligible to earn a referral incentive (“Referral Reward”) for each referred party, subject to terms in these Terms of Use, including the Referral Program Rules, and the terms and conditions of the specific Referral Program. You and the referred individual must satisfy these Terms of Use and the applicable terms and conditions for the Referral Program (“Reward Criteria”) for you to qualify for the Referral Award. The Referral Rewards are set by PCF in its sole discretion and are subject to change at any time. The Reward Criteria may vary by market or within a particular market. PCF, at its sole discretion, may make available certain Promotions with different Reward Criteria or Referral Rewards to other Users or prospective Users. These promotions, unless offered to you, shall have no bearing whatsoever on your Agreement or relationship with PCF.

Only one person can earn a Referral Reward for a single referral. In the event that multiple persons claim credit for a particular referral, PCF has full discretion to determine which person earned such referral according to PCF’s systems. 

Reservation of rights

PCF reserves the right to withhold or deduct Referral Rewards obtained through a Referral Program in the event that PCF determines or believes that the receipt of the Referral Reward was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of these Terms of Use, including the Referral Program Rules, or any other applicable agreement between you and PCF.

IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.

Governing Law; Venue and Jurisdiction

By visiting or using the Site and/or the Service, you agree that the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms of Use. You and PCF agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located within San Francisco County, California.

Arbitration, Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Action Rights

At our or your election, all disputes, claims, or controversies (“Claims”) arising out of or relating the following shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration to be conducted before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), or its successor: (a) Claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between you and us, including but not limited to your use of the Site or the Service, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; (b) Claims that arose before this or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising); (c) Claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and (d) Claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms of Use.

Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, arbitration will be held in San Francisco, California before a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties, or if the parties cannot mutually agree, a single arbitrator appointed by AAA, and will be conducted in accordance with the current rules and regulations promulgated by AAA unless specifically modified in the Terms of Service. The arbitration must commence within forty-five (45) days of the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by either party. The arbitrator’s reasoned decision and award will be made and delivered within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of the arbitration and within six (6) months of the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator will not have the power to award damages in excess of the limitation on actual compensatory, direct damages set forth in these Terms of Use and may not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages or any other damages that are specifically excluded under these Terms of Use, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages. The arbitrator may, in his or her discretion, assess costs and expenses (including the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the prevailing party) against any party to a proceeding. Any party refusing to comply with an order of the arbitrators will be liable for costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the other party in enforcing the award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of temporary or preliminary injunctive relief, any party may proceed in court without prior arbitration for the purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm. The provisions of this arbitration section will be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.

YOU AND PCF AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and PCF agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

In addition, you agree that, by entering into these Terms of Use, you and PCF are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. These Terms of Use evidence a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms of Use.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the introductory section above, if we change this ‘Arbitration’ section after the date you first accepted these Terms of Use (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Use), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Date of Last Revision” date above or in the date of our email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between you and us in accordance with the provisions of this section as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Use (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Use).

Indemnity

You agree to release, indemnify and hold PCF, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their directors, officers, agents, contractors, partners and employees, harmless from and against any loss, liability, claim, demand, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, arising out of or in connection with your User Content, any Third Party Services or related content you post or share on or through the Service, your use of the Service, your conduct in connection with the Service or with other Users of the Service, or any violation of these Terms of Use or of any law or the rights of any third party.

Submissions

You acknowledge and agree that any questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, feedback or other information about the Service (“Submissions”), provided by you to us are non-confidential and shall become the sole property of PCF, and you hereby make all assignments necessary to accomplish such ownership. PCF shall own exclusive rights, including all intellectual property rights, and shall be entitled to the unrestricted use and dissemination of these Submissions for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without acknowledgment or compensation to you.

Other

These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and PCF and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and PCF with respect to the Service. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate or third-party services, third-party content or third-party software. The failure of PCF to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision in that or any other instance. If any provision of these Terms of Use is held invalid, the remainder of these Terms of Use shall continue in full force and effect. If any provision of these Terms of Use shall be deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms of Use and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign these Terms of Use without the prior written consent of PCF, but we may assign or transfer these Terms of Use, in whole or in part, without restriction. The section titles in these Terms of Use are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail. The Service may also provide notices to you of changes to these Terms of Use or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Service.

Patriot Act

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires we obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who creates a relationship. When you create a relationship with us, we may ask for your name, address, date of birth and/or other information that will allow us to identify you.
