You will sign this Agreement by checking and clicking the “I Agree” button. Your electronic signature will be the same as if you signed a paper agreement by hand.

ADVISORY ACCOUNT SERVICES

We will provide you with investment advice through an investment plan (“Investment strategies”), that is based on our asset allocation models. Our advice to you takes into consideration your financial goals, your ability to take on risks, your time horizon, earnings power in a range of economic scenarios, and other information that you have provided us with on sign-up. When you elect to execute the Investment strategies, you will be invested in diverse crypto-assets in each strategy, and cash equivalents (including, high yield accounts) to implement the recommendations and manage the assets on a discretionary basis. You understand that your Advisory Assets will be limited to those within the investment strategies you are allocated to based on your assessment profile.

The Client hereby appoints ComiBlock as its investment adviser and grants us a limited of-attorney with discretionary trading authority to manage and trade the assets in your ComiBlock Account (the “Services”). We accept that appointment under the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

ComiBlock will not provide investment advice other than the Services described in this Agreement. You acknowledge that:

  1. ComiBlock will deliver the Services predominantly through the ComiBlock Mobile application on one or more mobile devices and/or comiblock.com (the “comiblock Website”) (collectively, including any updates and replacement or supplement to them, the “comiblock App”);
  2. You will not be entitled or able to hold securities or crypto assets in your ComiBlock Account other than the securities and crypto assets selected by ComiBlock;
  3. ComiBlock is solely responsible for the decision to invest the assets in your ComiBlock Account. You may contact ComiBlock by phone or email during its business hours regarding technical questions about the ComiBlock App. ComiBlock does not provide investment advice in person or over the phone or in any manner other than through the ComiBlock App.

Through the ComiBlock App, you will provide us with information about yourself (including your income, investment goals, time horizon, and net assets), and, upon evaluating your information, ComiBlock will implement a portfolio plan for you (your “Portfolio Plan”). You authorize us, without prior consultation, consent, or approval, to implement crypto-asset transactions for your Portfolio Plan. Our authority will include the ability to:

  1. Buy, sell and trade crypto assets;
  2. Employ hedging strategies;
  3. Rebalance your portfolio no less frequently than once a quarter;
  4. implement all of the above based on ComiBlock fundamental research and systematic (algorithmic) portfolio model.

ComiBlock reserves the right to change, in its sole discretion from time to time and without prior notice to Clients, the crypto assets, and investments made available through the Program that it deems appropriate to address the investment objectives, investment time horizons, and risk tolerances of its clients.

In addition, ComiBlock shall have the authority in connection with its provision of advisory services under this Agreement.

  1. to determine when, how often, and in what amounts to invest or reinvest dividends in your ComiBlock Account;
  2. to determine the timing of purchases in relation to deposits; and
  3. to determine the timing of sales and withdrawals in relation to requests for withdrawals or transfers.

You also authorize us to deliver to our partners (or any other crypto assets brokerage firm executing transactions on behalf of the ComiBlock Account or any other money services business related to executing crypto-asset transactions on behalf of the ComiBlock Account) a copy of this Agreement as evidence of the authority of ComiBlock to act for and on behalf of your ComiBlock Account.

You acknowledge that ComiBlock does not provide:
  1. comprehensive financial planning services and its Services are not a complete investment program;
  2. tax, accounting, or legal advice; nor prepare any legal or accounting documents for the implementation of the Client’s financial or investment plans; and
  3. custody of your ComiBlock Account assets.

You are encouraged to consider additional asset classes, strategies, and investments to supplement your investment objectives, and not to consult with your tax adviser regarding any tax consequences related to your Portfolio Plan.

ComiBlock will be responsible for the review and evaluation of your current financial information that you provide to us and will make its Portfolio Plan recommendation based on that information. It is your responsibility to update your information on the ComiBlock App and update the information through the ComiBlock App promptly if there are changes to your financial situation, goals, objectives, personal circumstances, time horizon or if other relevant information changes or becomes available. You are solely responsible for evaluating the merits and risks associated with any investments and the Portfolio Plan recommended by ComiBlock.

ComiBlock further reserves the right, in its sole discretion from time to time, upon providing prior notice to Clients, to engage any investment service provider from which ComiBlock may obtain any or all investments, change any such investment service provider, and to make additional investment service providers available through the Program.

In providing its services, ComiBlock or any of its affiliates may, subject to applicable laws and regulations, engage unaffiliated vendors or other contractors to aid it in fulfilling its duties under this Agreement or to provide ancillary enhancements or features of the services contemplated herein.

Additionally, in performing its obligations under this Agreement, ComiBlock may, at its own discretion, delegate any or all of its discretionary investment, advisory, and other rights, powers, and functions hereunder to any of its affiliates or to any third parties, without your written consent, provided that ComiBlock shall always remain liable to you for its obligations hereunder.

ACCOUNT REQUIREMENTS

ComiBlock requires you to maintain a minimum investment of $25 in your account every month. The Client retains sole ownership of the Account (i.e., the right to withdraw, crypto assets, and receive transaction confirmations). However, ComiBlock designs its strategies as long-term investments, (Minimum two and five years maximum) and the withdrawal of assets may impair the achievement of your investment objectives. Hence, in emergence withdrawal, you will not be subject to transaction fees, and/ but might have tax ramifications.

CLIENT INFORMATION

You confirm that all of the information you have provided through the ComiBlock App is true, accurate, and complete in all respects. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, you represent and warrant that you are neither insolvent, nor have you been found by a court or regulatory body to be bankrupt or insolvent through a judicial or regulatory proceeding.

You agree to notify us promptly of any change in information that may be relevant to your financial circumstances. You understand that ComiBlock will contact you at least annually via the ComiBlock App; email or through any other means deemed appropriate, to request that you review your Portfolio Plan to determine whether it should be modified.

You agree to review your Portfolio Plan for accuracy and provide material updates promptly using the ComiBlock App. You acknowledge and agree that ComiBlock relies on the information you provide through the ComiBlock App to provide the advisory services under the Program.

You further acknowledge and agree that ComiBlock shares some or all of your information with the Custodian and crypto brokers and relevant partners that, subject to the terms and conditions of such platforms, the Custodian and partners rely on such information to perform certain compliance functions including verifying your identity for customer identification purposes and anti-money laundering purposes and confirming that firms like ComiBlock, comply and are permitted to provide you with services under applicable economic sanctions against various countries, individuals, and organizations.

FEES & EXPENSES

Program Fee. ComiBlock offers the Services through the ComiBlock Wrap Fee Program (the “Program”). Under the Program, you will pay a single asset-based fee for the combined investment advisory, brokerage, custodial, and other related services (“Wrap Program Fee”).

The Wrap Program Fee does not include the Other Fees described below. All assets held in your ComiBlock Account, including the cash you invest, the value of the crypto assets and appreciation thereon, and assets acquired through reinvestment, are subject to the Wrap Program Fee.

The Wrap Program Fee is 100 basis points (1.00%) per year for clients with greater than $5,000 in net transfers. For clients who do not meet this threshold, the Wrap Program Fee is 200 basis points (2.00%) per year. The Wrap Program Fee will be prorated and charged monthly in arrears.

The asset-based fee is based upon the market value of the average daily account balance of the securities and crypto assets portfolio over the preceding month.

Since the asset-based fee is determined by the average daily account balance, if assets are deposited into or withdrawn from a ComiBlock Account after the inception of a month, the base fee payable with respect to such assets is adjusted accordingly. For the initial period of an engagement, the fee is calculated on a pro-rata basis. In the event the Agreement is terminated, the fee for the final billing period is prorated through the effective date of the termination and the outstanding portion of the fee is charged to the Client.

ComiBlock reserves the right to waive all or any portion of the Wrap Program Fee for any period for any Client or groups of Clients, at its sole discretion.

ComiBlock has sole discretion in determining whether or not any client or potential client may receive lower fees, and ComiBlock shall not be liable to you or any other party in connection with any such decision. If ComiBlock lowers any fees for any Client, it has no obligation to continue to do so and may cancel such benefit at any time. Negotiated fees may differ based on factors, including but not limited to, the type and size of the account.

Other Fees. Additionally, you may incur certain other charges imposed by third-party financial institutions. These additional costs may include but are not limited to: reporting charges (typically where the financial institution is required to send paper statements), margin costs, transfer taxes, wire transfers, FX fees; Custodial fees, emergency withdrawals, and electronic fund fees.

Performance-based Fees. Our firm might charge performance-based fees (that is, fees based upon a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of a client).

Fee Payment

By signing this Agreement, you authorize ComiBlock to deduct the Wrap Program Fee and any other applicable fees, directly from your ComiBlock Account, in accordance with applicable custody rules, or directly from your Funding Account. It is your responsibility to verify the accuracy of the calculation of the Wrap Program Fee. In the event your ComiBlock Account does not include a cash balance adequate to pay the Wrap Program Fee, you authorize ComiBlock to determine which assets in your ComiBlock Account will be sold, and to liquidate these assets, without notice to you, to pay the Wrap Program Fee and any other fees due under this Agreement and/or terminate your access to our Services.

Payment of fees generally will be made first from ComiBlock Account assets in cash; next from the liquidation of cash equivalents, and finally from the liquidation of securities and crypto assets in the ComiBlock Account. Each time you use our Services, you reaffirm your agreement that the Custodian (defined below) may deduct the Wrap Program Fee from your ComiBlock Account.

You agree and acknowledge that you are responsible for paying any and all fees, including, without limitation, the Wrap Program Fee, that you owe pursuant to this Agreement. You are responsible for maintaining complete and accurate billing and contact information with ComiBlock. You acknowledge that such fees may change from time to time and will be available on the ComiBlock App and in the Brochure and Relationship Summary (as defined below). In the event of a change in fees, ComiBlock will provide you with notice electronically on the ComiBlock App. You agree to check the ComiBlock App from time to time for updates to the fees applicable to you.

You acknowledge that ComiBlock designed the Program with significant long-term investment in mind and that the fee structure might not be economical or appropriate for individuals looking to make few or infrequent small-dollar investments. You acknowledge that the Wrap Program Fee may exceed the aggregate costs of purchasing separately the products and individual services that comprise the advisory services and the brokerage and crypto-asset services offered through the Program.

You acknowledge that your ComiBlock Account is not intended solely as a cash management vehicle.

Investment Risks. You are aware of and willing to assume the risks involved with investing your ComiBlock Account in the Portfolio Plan. You understand that ComiBlock and its affiliates do not guarantee the future performance of your assets in the ComiBlock Account or any specific level of performance, the success of any investment recommendation, or the success of our overall management of your ComiBlock Account.

Our investment recommendations are subject to various market, currency, economic, political and business risks. Investment decisions will not always result in profitable outcomes. Any investment performance of any kind can never be predicted or guaranteed, and ComiBlock does not guarantee that you will avoid financial loss.

You may experience losses, including potentially a complete loss of your investment.

Limitation of Liability. You understand that except as otherwise provided by law, neither we nor any (a) of our officers, partners or directors (or persons performing similar functions); (b) of our employees and representatives; or (c) persons directly or indirectly controlling us or controlled by us (as defined) (together, our “Affiliates”); or (e) any of our agents, including any service providers, (together with our Affiliates, the “Indemnified Persons”) will be liable for (i) any obligations, costs, fees, losses, liabilities, claims, judgments, actions, damages and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, expenses and court costs (“Losses”) paid, suffered, incurred or arising from any investment decision made or other action taken or omitted in good faith by us with the degree of care, skill, prudence; and diligence that a person acting in a fiduciary capacity would use under the circumstances; (ii) any Losses arising from adhering to your instructions; or (iii) any act or failure to act by Comiblock or any other third party; or (iv) any failures arising out of the use of the products or any of the investment tools or calculators on the Website.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except where prohibited by applicable law, ComiBlock and its Indemnified Persons will not be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, non-compensatory, punitive, or consequential damages or other losses (regardless of whether such damages or other losses were reasonably foreseeable).

If ComiBlock or any of its Affiliates is served with levies, attachments, garnishments, summons, subpoenas, court orders, or other legal processes that name you as a debtor or otherwise, ComiBlock or such Affiliate shall be entitled to rely upon the representations, warranties, and statements made in such legal process.

You hereby agree that ComiBlock or any Affiliate may respond to any such legal process in its discretion without regard to jurisdiction, or forward such legal process to the Custodian or such other party as may be appropriate. You hereby agree to hold harmless and indemnify ComiBlock and its Affiliates for any losses, expenses, and costs, including attorneys’ fees, incurred as a result of responding to such legal process or forwarding such legal process to the appropriate entity.

If ComiBlock or any Affiliate receives written notice from a personal representative, executor, or administrator purporting to represent your estate, ComiBlock or such Affiliate shall be entitled to rely on all figures supplied and representations made in such written notice if ComiBlock or such Affiliate is provided with letters of appointment bearing a duly recognized court seal without regard to jurisdiction.

Non-Exclusivity. You acknowledge that ComiBlock renders investment advice to other clients. We and our Affiliates may take the same, similar, or different positions in specific investments for our other clients and our own accounts, as we do for you. We have no obligation to purchase or sell, or to recommend for purchase or sale crypto-assets which we or our Affiliates may purchase or sell for our other clients and our accounts. The Client agrees that ComiBlock may give advice and take action concerning any of its other clients, which may differ from the advice given or the timing or nature of action taken concerning the Client's ComiBlock Account.
