Copyright Policy
Southeast Lending does not permit infringement of intellectual property rights on the Site or Service, and Southeast Lending will remove copyright infringing activities or related User Content if Southeast Lending is properly notified that such User Content infringes on another’s intellectual property rights. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or that any material on the Site violates this Agreement or your intellectual property rights, please notify Southeast Lending as soon as possible by sending an email to info@SoutheastMoney.com, or by contacting Southeast Lending’s Agent (listed below), with the following information pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) (please confirm these requirements with your legal counsel, or see the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), for more information): (i) an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest;
(ii) a description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed; (iii) a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the Site, sufficient for Southeast Lending to locate the material; (iv) your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and email address; (v) a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (vi) a statement by you that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.
Pursuant to Section 512(c)(2) of the DMCA, Southeast Lending’ designates the following agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement:
Luis Moreno Capdevila, CEO luis@SoutheastMoney.com
For the avoidance of doubt, only DMCA notices should go to Southeast Lending’s Designated Copyright Agent. You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this section, your DMCA notice may not be valid. We reserve the right to remove User Content alleged to be infringing or otherwise illegal without prior notice and at our sole discretion. In appropriate circumstances, Southeast Lending will also terminate a User’s account if the user is determined to be a repeat infringer.
Interactions with Other Users
The Site and/or Service may allow you to correspond or otherwise interact with other Users who may provide you with investments, investment information, advice, services and/or events, or provide you with other information about various companies or organizations. You acknowledge that such other Users are not affiliated with or controlled by Southeast Lending or its affiliates, and Southeast Lending cannot influence the investments, information, advice or services provided by them. Your correspondence or interaction with other Users is solely between you and such other Users. You agree that Southeast Lending and its affiliates will not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any interactions between you and other Users. Furthermore, if you provide any investments, information, advice or services to other Users through the Services, you acknowledge that you are not affiliated with, or controlled or influenced in any way by, Southeast Lending or its affiliates.
If you have a dispute with one or more Users, you irrevocably and forever release Southeast Lending (and Southeast Lending’s affiliates, officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”
Third Party Content
The Site may contain content from and links to third party websites or content that is not owned or controlled by Southeast Lending (collectively, “Third-Party Content”). Southeast Lending does not control, endorse, investigate or adopt any Third-Party Content, and assumes no responsibility for any Third-Party Content, or the accuracy, availability, privacy policies, or practices of such content. In addition, Southeast Lending will not and cannot censor or edit such Third-Party Content and makes no representations or warranties of any kind regarding the Third-Party Content, including with respect to accuracy or completeness. By using the Service, YOU EXPRESSLY RELIEVE SOUTHEAST LENDING FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF ANY THIRD-PARTY CONTENT. Accordingly, we encourage you to be aware when you leave the Southeast Lending Site and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of every other website that you visit. Users use such Third-Party Content at their own risk.
Use of Links
The Site may permit you to link to other websites or resources on the Internet, and other websites or resources may contain links to the Site. When you access third party websites, you do so at your own risk. These other websites are not under Southeast Lending’s control, and you acknowledge that Southeast Lending is not responsible or liable for the content, functions, accuracy, legality, appropriateness or any other aspect of such websites or resources. The inclusion of any such link does not imply an affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement by Southeast Lending or any association with its operators. You further acknowledge and agree that Southeast Lending shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any information, goods or services available on or through any such website or resource.

Users should also understand that the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy are based in many instances on principles of state and federal law. Users who violate these Terms and our Privacy Policy may be exposed under these state and federal laws to criminal charges, and civil liability to harmed parties for compensatory damages, attorney’s fees, and other sanctions. Southeast Lending reserves the right at all times to disclose information it deems necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.
Southeast Lending reserves the right to decide whether User Content violates these Terms of Service for reasons other than copyright infringement, such as, but not limited to, pornography, obscenity, or excessive length. Southeast Lending may at any time, without prior notice and in its sole discretion, remove such User Content and/or terminate or suspend a user’s account for submitting such material
in violation of these Terms, our Privacy Policy or any Published Information. Additionally, if Southeast Lending determines, in our discretion, that it is necessary, we will disable or take other related action concerning accounts that in our view are using excessive bandwidth or other system resources. Upon any termination or expiration of your account and/or your access to the Site or Service, whether by you or Southeast Lending, Southeast Lending may remove and discard all or any part of any User Content uploaded by you and such User Content may no longer be accessible by you. Southeast Lending will have no obligation to maintain any such information in its databases or to forward any such information to you or any third party.
Account termination may result in the forfeiture and destruction of all information associated with your account. If you wish to terminate your account, you may do so by contacting Southeast Lending customer service at info@SoutheastMoney.com or by deleting your account and discontinuing your use of the Site and Service. Any fees paid to the Company are non-refundable, unless otherwise specified and you shall remain obligated to pay all outstanding charges, if any, relating to your use of the Site or Service incurred prior to such termination. All provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.
Modification of Agreement
Southeast Lending reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion and without any prior notice to you, to modify, correct or replace any of the terms of this Agreement, or change, suspend, or discontinue the Service (including without limitation, the availability of any feature, database or content) at any time. Such modification shall become a part of this Agreement and is automatically effective once posted on the Site. This Agreement may not be orally amended. Southeast Lending may also impose limits on certain features and services or restrict your access to all or a part of the Service without notice or liability. It is your responsibility to check these Terms periodically for changes. Your continued use of the Service following the posting of any changes to the Terms of Service constitutes your acceptance of those changes.

For any change in fees for services purchased under your account, Southeast Lending will send you a notice of such change in advance of such change (via email or a message posted on the Site).
Southeast Lending will bill all applicable charges through the payment method specified in your account (e.g. a credit card or electronic funds transfer). If you pay any applicable fees with a credit card, Southeast Lending may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to your purchase
to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase. You authorize such credit card account to pay any amounts described herein, and authorize Southeast Lending to charge all sums described herein to such credit card account. You agree to provide Southeast Lending updated information regarding your credit card and account upon Southeast Lending’s request and any time the earlier provided information is no longer valid.

IN NO EVENT WILL SOUTHEAST LENDING’S OR ITS AFFILIATES’, CONTRACTORS’, EMPLOYEES’, AGENTS’, OR THIRD-PARTY PARTNERS’ OR SUPPLIERS’ LIABILITY TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE OR YOUR INTERACTION WITH OTHER USERS (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU, IF ANY, FOR ANY ACCESS TO OR USE OF the SERVICE OR ANY PART THEREOF, OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY OR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN SUCH CASES, SOUTHEAST LENDING’ LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Southeast Lending, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, suppliers, representatives and agents, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debts, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees) arising from or relating to: (i) your use or misuse of and access to the Site, Service, or any content thereon; (ii) your violation of any term of this Agreement, Southeast Lending’s Privacy Policy, or any Published Information; (iii) infringement by you or any third party using your account of any third party right, including without limitation any copyright, property, or privacy right; or (iv) any claim that your User Content caused damage to a third party.
This defense and indemnification obligation will survive this Agreement and your use of the Service. Southeast Lending reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will assist and cooperate with the Company in asserting any available defenses.
International Use
Accessing the Service is prohibited from territories where the Site, Service or any content thereon is illegal. If you access the Service from other locations, you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.
Governing Law; Arbitration
This Agreement (and any further rules, policies, or guidelines incorporated by reference) shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state of Florida, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law, and without application of the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act or the United Nations Convention of Controls for International Sale of Goods. By your agreement to the Terms and your use of the Southeast Lending’ Service, you agree to submit to personal jurisdiction in Florida for all purposes, whether in State Court or Federal Court, and you agree to waive, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to a trial by jury for any matter.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing by you and Southeast Lending, any dispute arising out of or relating to the Terms, or any breach thereof, shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, or such arbitration body as required by law, rule or regulation, and final judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language before a single arbitrator in Florida. Such arbitration must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises. Judgment on any award entered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Southeast Lending or you may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief without breach of this arbitration provision.
Any cause of action arising out of or related to the Service, and all products and services offered via the Southeast Lending Site or Service must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred. You acknowledge and agree that you may bring claims against Southeast Lending only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.

Miscellaneous Terms
These Terms of Service, together with the Privacy Policy, Published Information, and any other legal notices published by Southeast Lending on the website, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Southeast Lending concerning the Service and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications, agreements and understandings between Southeast Lending and you with respect to the subject matter hereof.

These Terms of Service shall not be assignable by you, either in whole or in part. Southeast Lending reserves the right to assign its rights and obligations under these Terms without restriction. The failure of Southeast Lending to enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision.

If for any reason any provision of these Terms, or a portion thereof, shall be unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of these Terms, and the remainder of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect. If any provision of the Terms shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from the Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
