Welcome to VerifyAccredited.com (“VerifyAccredited,” “Platform,” or “Website”), a service operated under the assumed business name (“DBA”) VerifyAccredited of RealtySlices LLC, a Washington limited liability company (“RealtySlices,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). VerifyAccredited and RealtySlices are the same legal entity; references to either are references to RealtySlices LLC.
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“User,” “you,” or “your”) and RealtySlices LLC (d/b/a VerifyAccredited) governing your access to and use of the Platform and all services made available through it (collectively, the “Services”).
By accessing the Platform, creating an account, submitting information, or otherwise using any portion of the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the E-Sign Consent attached as an appendix, and any other policy referenced herein. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Platform.

3. Description of Services
3.1 Pass-Through Portal
The Platform is a technology pass-through portal only. RealtySlices, through the Platform:
- Provides a secure interface for you to request Verification;
- Routes your request to an independent Third-Party Verifier;
- Enables transmission of Verification Materials between you and the Third-Party Verifier;
- Facilitates messaging, status tracking, and document delivery; and
- Stores the final verification letter (or denial) for your access.
3.2 What VerifyAccredited Is Not
RealtySlices, in its capacity as operator of VerifyAccredited:
- Is NOT a CPA firm, law firm, broker-dealer, investment adviser, or funding portal;
- Does NOT itself perform, review, validate, supervise, or guarantee any Verification;
- Does NOT provide investment, tax, legal, accounting, or other professional advice;
- Does NOT establish an attorney-client, accountant-client, fiduciary, or advisory relationship with you; and
- Does NOT control the methodology, judgment, timing, or outcome of any Third-Party Verifier.
3.3 Independent Contractor Relationship
Each Third-Party Verifier is an independent contractor, not an employee, partner, joint venturer, or agent of RealtySlices. Any professional engagement letter, scope of work, or contract for verification services is solely between you and the Third-Party Verifier. RealtySlices is not a party to that engagement and assumes no liability for the verifier’s acts, omissions, errors, professional judgment, malpractice, or breaches.
4. Eligibility
4.1 General Requirements
To access or use the Platform you represent and warrant that you:
- Are at least 18 years of age;
- Have full legal capacity to enter into binding agreements;
- Are a U.S. resident or, if an entity, are organized under U.S. law and acting through an authorized signatory;
- Are not on any U.S. government sanctions, denied parties, or specially designated nationals list; and
- Will provide accurate, current, and complete information.
4.2 Verification-Specific Requirements
To request Verification you further agree to:
- Submit the Verification Materials reasonably required by the Third-Party Verifier;
- Complete identity verification and any applicable anti-money-laundering (AML) or know-your-customer (KYC) checks;
- Acknowledge the risks associated with electronic transmission and storage of sensitive financial information; and
- Consent to the disclosure of Verification Materials to the assigned Third-Party Verifier.
5. Account Registration and Security
5.1 Account Creation
Most Services require an account. You agree to:
- Provide accurate and complete registration information;
- Maintain and promptly update your information;
- Keep your login credentials confidential and not share them; and
- Be solely responsible for all activity occurring under your account.
5.2 One Account Per User
Each individual or entity may maintain only one active account. Duplicate, fictitious, or shared accounts may be terminated without notice.
5.3 Account Security
Notify us immediately at ir@realtyslices.com if you suspect unauthorized access, a security breach, or loss or theft of credentials. You remain responsible for losses arising from your failure to safeguard credentials.
5.4 Multi-Factor Authentication
We may require multi-factor authentication for account access or for the release of verification letters.
6. Verification Process
6.1 Assignment
Upon request, RealtySlices will assign your matter to a Third-Party Verifier. We do not represent that any particular verifier will be assigned, that verification will be approved, or that verification will be completed within any specific time frame.
6.2 Your Responsibilities
You acknowledge and agree that:
- You are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and authenticity of all Verification Materials;
- The Third-Party Verifier may request additional documentation or clarification, and delays may result from incomplete submissions;
- Verification outcomes are determined by the Third-Party Verifier in their independent professional judgment;
- Verification letters typically remain valid for ninety (90) days under Rule 506(c), and you are responsible for obtaining re-verification as needed; and
- Submitting false, forged, or misleading Verification Materials may constitute securities fraud and may be reported to applicable authorities.
6.3 Delivery of Verification Letters
Verification letters are issued directly by the Third-Party Verifier. RealtySlices may store and make the letter available to you through the Platform but does not author, edit, or warrant its contents.
6.4 Use of Verification Letters by Third Parties
Issuers, sponsors, broker-dealers, and other parties relying on a verification letter do so based on the Third-Party Verifier’s opinion. RealtySlices makes no representation or warranty to any such relying party.
7. Fees and Consideration
7.1 No Monetary Fee for Standard Verification
RealtySlices currently provides standard Accredited Investor Verification at no monetary cost to the User.
7.2 Consideration – Non-Monetary Exchange
You acknowledge and agree that the Services are not gratuitous. As a material part of the bargained-for consideration for receiving Verification at no monetary cost, you grant RealtySlices the marketing-data rights set forth in Section 10 (Marketing Data and Use Rights). This exchange of value constitutes good and valuable consideration sufficient to support all obligations under these Terms.
7.3 Future Fees
RealtySlices reserves the right to introduce, modify, or eliminate fees for any portion of the Services upon reasonable prior notice posted on the Platform or delivered via email. Fees, if any, will apply only to Services rendered after the effective date of the change.
7.4 Third-Party Verifier Fees
A Third-Party Verifier may, in their sole discretion, charge fees for services that are outside the scope of standard Accredited Investor Verification (e.g., expedited turnaround, complex entity structures, supplemental letters). Any such fees are payable directly to the Third-Party Verifier under the terms of your separate engagement with that verifier.
8. Conflicts of Interest and Material Disclosures
You acknowledge that you have been informed of, and accept, the following:
- Affiliated Marketing Channel. RealtySlices LLC operates both VerifyAccredited and an investment-marketing business (RealtySlices Offerings). The Platform is, in part, a customer-acquisition channel for those Offerings.
- No Solicitation Yet. Receiving a verification letter is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security. Any securities offerings will be made only by separate offering documents.
- Independence of Verifier. Although RealtySlices benefits commercially when verified investors elect to invest in RealtySlices Offerings, the Third-Party Verifier is independent and is not compensated based on the outcome of the Verification or any subsequent investment by you.
- No Obligation to Invest. You are under no obligation to consider, evaluate, or invest in any RealtySlices Offering as a condition of receiving Verification.
9. User Conduct and Prohibited Activities
You agree not to, and not to permit any third party to:
- Provide false, forged, altered, or materially misleading information or Verification Materials;
- Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity;
- Use the Services for any unlawful, fraudulent, or tortious purpose, including securities fraud or money laundering;
- Interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Platform, its servers, or related networks;
- Upload malware, viruses, worms, or other malicious code;
- Harass, threaten, or harm other users, Third-Party Verifiers, or RealtySlices personnel;
- Scrape, harvest, mine, or otherwise collect data from the Platform;
- Use automated systems, bots, or scripts to access the Platform without our prior written consent;
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any portion of the Platform; or
- Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Services without authorization.
10. Marketing Data and Use Rights
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT DESCRIBES THE NON-MONETARY CONSIDERATION YOU PROVIDE IN EXCHANGE FOR THE NO-COST VERIFICATION SERVICE.
10.1 License Grant to RealtySlices
In exchange for, and as a material condition of, the no-cost Verification Services, you hereby grant RealtySlices a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual (subject to your opt-out rights), transferable license to use, store, process, and reference your Marketing Data (name, telephone number(s), and email address(es) only) for the purposes set forth in Section 10.2.
10.2 Permitted Uses
RealtySlices may use your Marketing Data solely to:
- Send you marketing, promotional, and informational communications about RealtySlices Offerings;
- Communicate with you as an existing or prospective investor in RealtySlices Offerings (including transactional, operational, and administrative communications);
- Conduct internal investor relations, customer service, suitability outreach, and account servicing;
- Conduct internal analytics, segmentation, modeling, and product development directly related to RealtySlices Offerings; and
- Comply with legal, regulatory, audit, recordkeeping, and law-enforcement requirements.
10.3 No Sale; No Third-Party Marketing
RealtySlices does not, and will not, sell, rent, lease, license, or otherwise transfer your Marketing Data to any unaffiliated third party for that third party’s own marketing purposes. Marketing Data will not be shared with third parties except: (a) with service providers acting on RealtySlices’ behalf under written confidentiality and data-use restrictions (e.g., email-service providers, CRM, SMS gateway); (b) with the assigned Third-Party Verifier solely for purposes of completing your Verification; (c) with affiliates of RealtySlices subject to the same restrictions in these Terms; (d) as required by law, subpoena, or court order; or (e) in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets in which the acquirer assumes the same obligations.
10.4 Verification Materials Are Separate
The license in Section 10.1 covers only Marketing Data (name, phone, email). Your Verification Materials (financial statements, tax returns, identification, K-1s, brokerage statements, CPA/attorney letters, etc.) are not included in the marketing license, are not used for marketing, and are handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy and applicable law.
10.5 Marketing Channels and Consent
Email (CAN-SPAM). By providing your email address, you consent to receive commercial email from RealtySlices in compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (15 U.S.C. §§ 7701 et seq.). Every commercial email will include a one-click unsubscribe link.
Telephone and SMS (TCPA). If you provide a phone number, you may receive informational calls and texts regarding your Verification. Marketing calls and text messages will be sent only if you provide separate, express prior written consent as required by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (47 U.S.C. § 227) and FCC rules (47 C.F.R. § 64.1200), including for any calls or texts made using an automatic telephone dialing system, artificial or prerecorded voice, or for marketing purposes. Standard message-and-data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out of SMS at any time; reply HELP for help.
10.6 Opt-Out Rights
You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by:
- Clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any marketing email;
- Replying STOP to any marketing SMS;
- Adjusting communication preferences in your account settings; or
- Emailing ir@realtyslices.com with the subject line “OPT OUT.”
Opt-out from marketing communications does not affect transactional or legally required communications (e.g., delivery of your verification letter, account notices, security alerts, tax forms).
10.7 State Privacy Rights
Depending on your state of residence, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws, including the right to know, access, correct, delete, and opt out of certain data uses, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising those rights (see, e.g., California Consumer Privacy Act/CPRA, Washington My Health My Data Act where applicable, Virginia CDPA, Colorado CPA). Exercise these rights by contacting ir@realtyslices.com. We will respond within the time period required by applicable law.
10.8 Effect of Opt-Out on Service
Opt-out from marketing does not terminate your account or prior Verification, and existing verification letters remain valid for their stated period. However, because the marketing-data license is the consideration for no-cost Verification, RealtySlices reserves the right, upon receipt of an opt-out, to (i) charge reasonable fees for any future Verification requests, and/or (ii) decline to provide future Verification at no cost.
11. Privacy and Data Security
Your use of the Platform is also governed by our Privacy Policy, incorporated by reference. The Privacy Policy describes the categories of data we collect, how we use it, retention periods, your rights, and our security practices, including:
- Encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest;
- Role-based access controls and audit logging;
- Retention of verification records consistent with Rule 506(c) recordkeeping practice (generally five years) and applicable state CPA/Bar professional retention rules administered by the Third-Party Verifier; and
- Incident-response and breach-notification procedures consistent with applicable law.
12. Intellectual Property
All Platform content, software, trademarks, service marks, logos, and design elements (“RealtySlices IP”) are owned by RealtySlices LLC or its licensors and are protected by U.S. and international intellectual property laws. “VerifyAccredited,” “RealtySlices,” and related marks are trademarks or service marks of RealtySlices LLC.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, RealtySlices grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Platform for the personal, non-commercial purpose of obtaining Verification. All other rights are reserved.
You retain ownership of your Verification Materials. You grant RealtySlices a limited license to store, transmit, and display those materials solely as necessary to provide the Services and as described in Sections 10 and 11.

19.2 Binding Arbitration
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services that is not resolved informally shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator, in Seattle, Washington. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator, not any court, shall have exclusive authority to resolve threshold questions of arbitrability.
19.3 Class-Action and Representative-Action Waiver
YOU AND REALTYSLICES 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, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding.

20. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, excluding its conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to Section 19, the state and federal courts located in King County, Washington shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any matter not subject to arbitration.
21. Regulatory Disclosures
VerifyAccredited is not a registered broker-dealer, investment adviser, funding portal, CPA firm, or law firm. Verification services are performed by independent licensed professionals. Nothing on the Platform constitutes an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any security. Any securities offered by RealtySlices or its affiliates will be offered only by separate offering documents and only to persons who meet applicable investor-qualification standards under federal and state securities laws.
22. Communications
Subject to Section 10.5 (TCPA) and the Privacy Policy, we may communicate with you via email, SMS (with required consent for marketing), telephone, postal mail, or Platform notifications.

Force Majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform due to causes beyond reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, pandemic, labor disputes, internet or utility outages, or governmental action.
Headings; Construction. Section headings are for convenience only. The words “including,” “such as,” and “for example” are illustrative and not limiting.
Relationship. Nothing in these Terms creates any partnership, joint venture, employment, agency, or fiduciary relationship between you and RealtySlices.
Survival. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive.
24. Accessibility
