STORY
When award-winning product developer and serial entrepreneur, Garrett Green, entered the spirits market in 2012, he quickly learned he wasn't going to be able to beat the giant brands at their own game. So, for three years, he invested to refine his spirit, study the industry, and develop an innovative business model to break-through their barriers. Today, you can join ONE ROQ to expand its pioneering business model and capitalize on the opportunity of building a globally recognized, lifestyle vodka brand.
OUR BEGINNINGS
In the mid 2000s, Garrett became inspired by the success of French luxury vodka brand Grey Goose Vodka after selling to Bacardi Ltd. for $2 billion, and wondered why the market didn't have an iconic American luxury brand equivalent? Engaging his entrepreneurial spirit, he saw the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a new category inside the global distilled spirits market.
Garrett began his process by scouring US farms and distillers in search of the perfect ingredients to create an iconic, American recipe. Eventually, he chose a blend of artisanal mountain water from the Colorado Rockies and sweet corn from the American Midwest, and discovered a proprietary resting process that resulted in its signature taste and mouthfeel. From there, he let envisioned brand values inform the design and name.
NAME
Garrett knows that success requires immense physical and emotional strength to overcome the constant challenges of life. With this, the idea of being reliant upon one self to consistently find strength led to the notion of "a rock" and "ONE ROQ" was born.
PRODUCT VALIDATION
With a finished product, Garrett launched ONE ROQ's initial market test and within 120 days of its introduction, it won the first-place gold medal for taste and design in the 2012 International SIP Awards In San Francisco - the world's largest, consumer-judged tasting competition - validating ONE ROQ's superior quality, taste, and diverse consumer appeal.
THE BARRIERS
Over the course of three years, the Company invested the foundational capital to refine ONE ROQ's packaging, learn about traditional distribution networks, and gain first-hand exposure to several industry barriers that routinely blindside new brands. From this initial investment, Garrett concluded that to be successful in the industry, a brand cannot stand on award-winning credentials alone. The industry's 3-Tier System, pay-to-play culture, and exhaustive use of lifestyle advertising schemes deployed by establishment brands are key barriers that will need to be surmounted with strategy of a new realm.
"Lifestyle Marketing" is a widely used practice wherein large companies conceptually place their brands inside the advertisements of successful or attractive lifestyles. This method is used in an attempt to have us believe that if we buy those brands, we in turn acquire the status or success we see in those advertisements. ONE ROQ believes this is deceptive because it knows that real lifestyle and financial rewards are enjoyed by - and only by - the owners of brands.
OUR SOLUTION
Jaded by inferior lifestyle promises made by virtually all other luxury brands, ONE ROQ abandoned the industry marketing mold, transformed its brand values, and redeveloped its business model through the ONE ROQ Vodka Club, an industry-first, membership platform redefining brand experience through equity, lifestyle and reward.
THE FOUNDATION IS READY
We've invested heavily to develop an award-winning product, establish deep expertise in the market, and innovate a working strategy that we believe is already positioning the company for an exciting and promising future.

Foundational Investments by the Founder (2012 to 2015) were critical to developing a differentiated strategy. The Founder invested $1M into comprehensive market analysis and development. Through this investment, we were able to develop an award-winning product for taste and design, establish an academic understanding of the industry, become the beneficiary of several accolades from renowned international organizations verifying the outstanding quality and potential of our brand. Some of these organizations include: Robb Report Magazine, the International SIP Awards, Bentley Motors, Elite Traveler Magazine, Black Book Magazine, BIN Magazine.
Over this period, we leveraged the initial capital investment to improve our knowledge of the barriers and develop an overall marketing strategy that would provide a means to overcome them. Candidly, we endured numerous industry lessons which routinely defeat the most promising of brands.
Instead, ONE ROQ methodically paused, reflected on its learnings, and redeveloped its model with a paradigm-shifting marketing approach. From 2016 through 2017, we vetted and prepared the new plan, and in October of 2018, we partnered with StartEngine to begin and capitalize. The results after our first year are showing exceptional promise, and we are so excited for the future of ONE ROQ and our Members.
Our New Approach Is WORKING (2019 to 2020)
In Q4 2018, we launched our first equity campaign to fund our new vision, and by 2020, ONE ROQ successfully launched as one of the world's first and only Member-owned, luxury adult beverage brands, raising $1M+ in commitments and validating its industry-first marketing approach with over 2700 initial Members from across the world. Some of our outstanding achievements include:
- Successfully developed, tested and launched envisioned Member-experience and lifestyle platform for Members
- Built and refined technology, methods and processes driving website, e-mail, social, advertising and mobile platforms to achieve desired user experience

The Marketing Innovation
- Brand-positioning that will capitalize on the yet-to-be-established 'Super-premium American' vodka category.
- Innovative Marketing Platform & Membership Club is allowing the brand to distinguish itself from every major brand in the market as the first lifestyle brand owned and guided by the end-user.
Direct-to-Consumer Communication
- Traditionally, distilled spirits companies believe they must work with wholesalers to communicate their brand's unique value propositions to the end users. However, the use of the wholesaler under traditional practices brings significant communication and cost challenges to new brands, as the model promotes three degrees of separation between producers and their end users (i.e., supplier --> wholesaler -->retailer--> end-user), as well as a 'diffusion of responsibility' on behalf of wholesalers and retailers who sell hundreds, if not thousands of other brands owned by "more important" suppliers.
- So, we asked the logical question: How can we truly rely upon a wholesaler to accurately and passionately communicate the unique selling features of our brand to retailers, who then would turn around and accurately represent that same messaging to consumers? The answer we realized: we can't.
- Instead, we deploy direct-to-consumer methods using proven digital marketing and face-to-face activation via tastings and events to reach and communicate with our end-users who are invited to Join the Club and Own Their Spirit. Through this approach, ONE ROQ is controlling its destiny.
Legal : ONE ROQ is required to sell through a federally regulated supply chain, known as the three-tier system, and lawfully uses this system to carry out the retail availability and home delivery of its products.

Future Plans We Look Forward To
New and exciting marketing initiatives are poised to take ONE ROQ where no lifestyle brand has gone before.
Formal development schedules on these projects are to be announced...
The 384 billion global beverage alcohol market has been undergoing two macro trends: enormous industry consolidation into five international majors and an explosion of small, premium craft brands driven by skilled marketing and consumer demand. As a category, Vodka accounts for approximately 31% of total distilled spirits volume, with the high-end premium vodka growing at just under 11% per annum. The alcohol beverage market is driven by an increasing shift away from beer and wine towards spirits and in particular premium spirit brands as part of an overall movement towards “high-end” consumption. This macro industry trend has led to the creation of numerous start-up brands over the last ten years seeking to establish themselves as credible niche players to position themselves as acquisition targets for major industry giants. This market environment has led to consistent demand by major suppliers to acquire successful niche brands that are able to breakthrough with unique and scalable marketing strategies. Acquisition multiples are observed ranging from 5x to 20x sales with acquisition candidacy triggered at the 30-100k cases per annum in gross sales, which can be referenced in the “Historical Acquisitions” exhibit and diagram.
Market Highlights
- Vodka maintains a dominant market share among all distilled spirit categories, with a 10+ year track record of continuous positive YOY growth.
- Vodka is the preferred spirit of consumers for ease of drinking, mixability, and price. (Source: Discus.org)
- 40M people on Facebook (alone) have a confirmed interest in vodka, and about three times this number in alcohol as a general interest. (Source: Facebook.com)
- The global alcoholic beverage industry is recognized as being among select industries able to sustain itself in strong, weak, and uncertain economies.
- Until now, the opportunity of owning your own luxury spirits brand was a privilege reserved only to the ultra wealthy.
- ONE ROQ aims to build the first premium brand owned and guided by the end-user, whereby creating a new cultural and consumption standard for luxury and lifestyle.
This Historical Industry Acquisition chart is generated internally based on Company research. Potential Investors should be aware of the corresponding Yearly Expenditures that accompany meeting these projections. For more information, refer to the Financial section (Financial Milestones) of this offering.
The Historical Industry Acquisition trend illustrates that ONE ROQ needs to establish 30-50,000 cases to enter salable territory. Here are some averages we researched below:
- Common denominator of break-through brands: 30,000 cases per year
- Avg. Acquisition Multiples: 5-20x cases sales
- Avg. Years in operation at sale date: 3.5-4 years
- Avg. Topline Sales: $10-20 million
ONE ROQ will aim to generate 30,000 cases in sales within 4.5 years, and case sales of 50,000-100,000 cases thereafter.
The Company’s trailing 12 months of operating history since launching the ONE ROQ Vodka Club (ORVC) have established an internal Member Enrollment Cost (MEC) of $77 and an annual Average Member Purchase (AMP) trend of 3 1L bottles per annum per Member (where 1 Member = 1/2 case per year), for the Company’s direct to home business only. Therefore, through its online sales (in home) business solely, the Company is projecting to spend approximately $4,620,000 to enroll 60,000 Members and generate 30,000 in case sales; $7,700,000 to enroll 100,000 Members and generate 50,000 in cases sales; and $15,400,000 to enroll 200,000 Members and generate100,000 in cases sales. Once again, this model uses the Company’s digital channel solely and does NOT account for contract sales that are expected to be generated through distributors to service “out of home” (bars & restaurants), which represents another 50% of the overall market. For this reason, the Company has conservatively added 3 additional bottles per member to account for these anticipated sales. Finally, as the Company expands its marketing and becomes more well-known in the market, the Company expects its MEC to decrease and AMP to increase.
MEC(Member Enrollment Cost): total ad spend divided by total Members enrolled
AMP (Average Member Purchase): total sales divided by total Members
The above projections are only projections and are not a guarantee of future success. These projections assumes the Company will be able to raise the required funding to support the corresponding yearly operating and selling expenditures it needs to generate the required sales velocity (specifically 30,000 + cases annually) through its marketing to achieve a target valuation where investors could expect a return on investment through a brand sale or other liquidity event in the future. These Projections are not a guarantee of future success and projections may change based on factors out of the Company’s control. Even if these projections are reached, there is no guarantee that a strategic exit will occur. Achieving sales velocity will depend on the performance of distribution contracts, online sales campaigns, and Member-contributed sales and promotions to support company goals. Due to the 3-tier system and the unique business model, the Company reserves the right to measure and define performance of distributors and members as potential factors for future sales . Potential growth rates and future corresponding valuation ranges for potential liquidity events are estimated using industry case studies over the last ten years and are not a guarantee of future valuation. Potential Investors should be aware of the corresponding Yearly Expenditures that accompany meeting these projections. The Company’s historical sales and Member Acquisition Costs are used to establish a reasonable basis for generating the target projections if the company is able to meet current and future financing hurdles. For more information, refer to the Financial section of this offering and the Forward Looking Legend in the Terms section.

What are the commitments of the club?
There are no commitments of the club after you join, but we do hope you find features of the club helpful in supporting the company's mission and growth objectives, such as our 24/7 Concierge, Share The Club, and Carry Request tools.
Why would I join ONE ROQ?
Our commitment to principled drinking and counter-culture ethos is everything. We align ourselves with like-minded members who see through the veil of mass advertising and the dysfunction of big industry. We encourage everyone to be free, independent thinking consumers. If you enjoy the privilege of alcohol, why not form a deeper relationship with a brand you own, guide and benefit from along the way?
What makes ONE ROQ better than Grey Goose, Ciroc, Titos?
ONE ROQ is a hand-crafted vodka of unparalleled quality and taste - developed with over half a decade of meticulous ingredient sourcing and disciplined recipe creation. Our first place gold medal in the largest consumer tasting competition in the world, as well as our 2020 95pt rating the Food & Beverage Network, is a testament to this claim. What makes us this good? Some say it is a secret recipe made from two of the purest and most iconic ingredients in the country: Mid-Western, American Corn and artisan Colorado Rocky mountain water. Others say it is because it may be one of the first and only gluten, sulfite and sodium free vodka in the world. But if you asked us, it's our unwavering belief that an authentic lifestyle spirit should offer authentic lifestyle reward.
Is ONE ROQ better than Titos Vodka?
ONE ROQ and Titos have a lot in common. We both are made from corn. We both have won first place gold medals in large competitions. We both promote our American-made values. We both come from small beginnings. And we both represent an underlying resistance to foreign-owned brands. However, ONE ROQ and Titos differ in that we invite our drinkers to become more intimately connected with our spirit; to own our brand; to guide its direction; and benefit beyond the glass.
What kind of events will ONE ROQ sponsor / produce?
ONE ROQ will focus on sponsoring and producing events for its members that include social mixers, concerts, sporting events, creative events and even galas. Members will be given VIP access to all events which may include complimentary food and drink. Covid-19 is currently affecting Company event schedules in 2020 but we look forward to evolving this platform in the "Post-Covid" era.
What laws govern alcohol businesses in the US?
The two important laws governing our operation include the securities law, Regulation Crowdfunding (this is how we are able to accept money in exchange for equity in our company direct from the public); Tied House, which seeks to prevent intermingling between suppliers, wholesalers and retail operators, and the Three-Tier System, which governs the flow of ours goods through the supply chain.
The Three-Tier System is a federally regulated supply chain requiring that all alcoholic producers sell their products to a licensed wholesaler, who in turn must sell to a licensed retailer, who in turn are able to sell to you. Because it could jeopardize our operations, it is important we state that ONE ROQ does not sell its products direct to its members, as this is would be in violation of the Three-Tier System. In lieu, the company partners with industry approved, online fulfillment portals that work with your local retailers to deliver our products to you. Currently, our partner is 1-877-Spirits, a trusted online delivery service of alcoholic beverage for over 30 years - otherwise known as our Online Concierge.
For more information, please refer to our Risk Factors which discuss these laws.
Do I need to invest to buy ONE ROQ?
No, you do not need to invest in ONE ROQ Spirits LLC to buy ONE ROQ Vodka. However, Investing in ONE ROQ Spirits LLC provides you access to all our unique Club Privileges, described above.
What are the benefits of joining?

What is ONE ROQ's valuation?

What if my store/bar doesn't carry ONE ROQ?
In the future, you can use the ONE ROQ app to submit a Carry Request. Our aim is to place ONE ROQ within 14 days in the retailer of your choice, provided we have active distribution in your market, there is retailer acceptance and Covid-19 is not disrupting the business of your desired retail establishment, bar or restaurant. This app feature is currently in development and available with limited coverage.
Do I get a discount buying ONE ROQ if I invest?
Yes, as an investor you will receive an Owner/Membership discount of up to 40% product when ordered through ONEROQClub.com. Discount codes are posted to your Member dashboard monthly. Note, due to Federal and State laws, ONE ROQ cannot guarantee pricing or discounts in the market (i.e., in liquor stores, bars, etc). However, it is acceptable to ask your retailer if they would consider applying an Owner's discount, should they carry the product.
How do I buy ONE ROQ right now?
You can buy ONE ROQ through our Online Concierge and have ONE ROQ home delivered to you. All orders are fulfilled through 1-877 Spirits.com. To buy, head to ONEROQClub.com and click "Taste." Alternatively, you can also check local retailers. If the product is not available in local retailers, once this feature is available, in your area, you can submit a Carry Request using your app and request it with the store owners or manager. (Note, fulfillment delays may apply based on your location and the status of our distribution in your market.)
Can I get a free sample before I join?
Due to the cost of our product, as well as liquor laws prohibiting free alcoholic goods to consumers, we currently do not offer free samples.
Will the cost of ONE ROQ come down over time?
The company cannot guarantee any cost changes but our hope is to be able to continue to improve our margins and pricing.
What is the corporate structure of ONE ROQ and what is the difference between a Membership "Unit" and a "Share" of Stock ?
ONE ROQ Spirits is currently structured as an LLC and you are purchasing Membership Units in this offering. "Units" are used to describe the measure of ownership when a company's legal structure is a LLC. "Shares" are used to describe the measure of ownership in a C-Corp or an S-Corp. The company will evaluate the advantages of converting to a C-Corp but this is not planned at this time.
For more information, please refer to the SEC guidance in relation to Regulation Crowdfunding investing.

From Founder, Garrett Green:
We're happy to share that ONE ROQ VODKA's (ONEROQClub.com) Member base grew last year despite market turmoil.

In the last two years we've allocated just under $2M of public investments into the development of novel programming, supply chain, and strategic partnerships to bring our envisioned membership platform to life. We’ve already grown the platform to 5000 global members ahead of concentrated paid strategies, and with our model ready to scale, we're aimed at taking ONE ROQ & the ONE ROQ Club further and with our third public offering now on the horizon.

ONE ROQ's NFL Sponsorship Activation Recap
ONE ROQ Makes Splash During Super Bowl Weekend With Official Sponsorship of NFL Alumni Legends Party, Hosted by Gronk and Performances by Flo Rida.
EVENT REEL PRODUCED by GANNETT / USA TODAY
Event Recap
In November, ONE ROQ (ONEROQClub.com) marked its return to live events with Sponsorship of the NFL Alumni Legends Party celebrating Super Bowl weekend in Los Angeles. The star-studded red carpet event was hosted by all-pro tight end, Rob Gronkowski, and included performances by DJ Kim, rapper Flo Rida, and special appearances by NFL Alumni Jerry Rice, Emmitt Smith, Doug Flutie and more. Over the course of the evening, the event welcomed over 1500 guests at the famous Avalon Hollywood venue where signature ONE ROQ, Knob Creek and Tres Generaciones cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, VIP bottle service, and over-the-top live live performances were enjoyed by all. ONE ROQ Club Members in attendance included Anthony Tartaglia of Houston Texas, Sonny Antonio of California, John Hewitt of Arizona, Melissa and John Barone of Park City, Utah, and others.
“The ONE ROQ team spent six hours on Friday preparing the venue and Avalon staff for what would become ONE ROQ’s first full production event showcase since its sponsorship of X Games Aspen in 2020,” shares Garrett Green, Director at ONE ROQ. “The night was filled with amazing moments for the brand, including ONE ROQ step and repeat phot-ops, signature ONE ROQ cocktail menu displays on every bar, marquee ONE ROQ light-up bottle service presenters, creating non-stop brand spectacle throughout the evening. Notably, ONE ROQ bottles were ordered by the Gronkowski table as well as several other NFL Alumni and VIPs. Perhaps the crescendo of the evening we had world-renowned hip hop artists, Flo Rida and Flava Flav on stage rapping about ONE ROQ, and pouring shots from the stage...and Flo Rida eventually was down in the crowd surrounded by ONE ROQ bottles."
Here were some of these spectacular moments captured:

ONE ROQ Announces Tulum Escape As Part of New Rewards With Subscription Model
ONE ROQ Announces ONE ROQ Tulum Escape, Enabled By New, Low-cost Subscription
Today, we announce the launch of our first destination vacation getaway for Members, with Tulum Escape . The escape is a luxury prize that is part of long-awaited programming that has gone into effect with our new and enhanced Refer. Earn. Win rewards privilege enabled by the official transition of ONE ROQ Membership subscription.
Under the new Refer.Earn.Win program, Members will receive $20 for every new referred Member after February 1st 2022, plus up to 20% of their lifetime purchases through the Club. And that's not all, because top referring Members will also be rewarded with world-class international vacation escapes - starting with one of the most desirable vacation destinations in the world which happens to coincides with arguable the top electronic music artist of our time, Rufus Du Sol.
"Albeit a short window, we just couldn't pass up the opportunity to package this once in a lifetime getaway and experience, especially for Rufus lovers," shares Garrett Green. "In addition, we are excited about the potential these new referral incentives bring to ONE ROQ Club Members, including monthly recurring income, world-class lifestyle and entertainment experiences, and bolstering company value."
The ONE ROQ Tulum Escape (March 4th - March 6th) includes up to 2 Nights at the exclusive and award-winning, Oceanside Habitas Hotel, a Sunset ONE ROQ tasting on March 5th, full access Passes to Rufus Du Sol Sun Dream live at Papaya Playa Project, and 50% off last minute airfare for you and a friend.
An additional night has been placed on hold for March 3rd and is available at market rate. An extra room is also available.
How to Win
Contest Rules, Terms & Conditions (including valid passport to travel international) are available now in Member's new Refer. Earn. Win tile. The contest begins now.
FAQs
How do I report new members that have joined?
There is a new Referrals tool located in your Refer & Earn tile. When you know someone has joined, just add their email or phone number. When you're ready to go outside your immediate contacts, we recommend using Share Like a Pro which features your own landing page and greeting for people you just meet.
What qualifies as a "Member?"
As of February 25th, a Member is one who subscribes to ONEROQClub.com rewards subscription.
How much does ONE ROQ Membership cost?
ONE ROQ Membership is currently priced at $24.99; $22.49 for Referred Members (10% off) and $18.74 for Shareholders (25%)
I'm an early investor/shareholder. Do I have to now pay a subscription to access club benefits like Refer & Earn?
No. All early investors are grandfathered to continue to receiving baseline rewards, including our new share, earn and win benefits. However, and while there is no obligation, we encourage our investors to consider becoming a subscriber to help us power up sales, marketing efforts, and overall speed and stock value of the company.
Is there a minimum number of referrals to qualify for cash or prizes?
There is no minimum number of referrals to receive cash payments. There is currently a 5 person minimum to qualify for contests
How much can I make referring Members?
We encourage you to review the How it Works tab in the Refer & Earn tile for more information. Just 5 Referrals will pay for a ONE ROQ Club Rewards Membership.
How do we know the contest will be fair?
Confirmed Referrals will be tracked through automation and displayed in leaderboard format inside your dashboard.
If I don't win this contest, do my referrals roll over to the next contest?
Yes. Non-winners get to keep/and continue to build upon their referral counts that they can then use towards the next Vacation Escape contest prize. However, referrals counts of winners will be halved by 50%, which means they are not completely out of the game to win again either.
How many vacation escapes/luxury prizes is ONE ROQ planning On conducting ?
Depending on the success of the first two, we foresee up to 4-6 Escapes a year up and running.
Will there be more Escapes?
We are planning to make these world-class escapes as frequent as 1x per quarter but may not see that come to full fruition until 2023, or as long as it takes to see our paid Membership double in size.
Can investment referrals I've made in the past be counted towards this contest?
Unfortunately, broker-dealer and related securities laws prevent us from using investor referrals in this kind of contest and compensation program.
Where do I learn more?
Login to your dashboard now and navigate to the new Refer. Earn. Win tile.

ONE ROQ Instagram Account Breach
It is our regret to inform our community on Thursday February 3rd, at 1Pm Pacific time, ONE ROQ’s Instagram Account and linked Facebook account, was hacked by a malicious user. This may sound unreal, but our Instagram account is currently being hijacked and used to advertise fake investment opportunities.
For your safety, we are immediately asking all followers of ONE ROQ social media - instagram and facebook - to ignore all content and communication attempts from these accounts while we move to resolve and restore control. Note, we have no idea how long this will take so until there is additional communication from us, DO NOT ENGAGE.
Again, Do NOT send any information that is being asked. We are waiting for Instagram Security to respond to our requests to remove this malicious user, and restore control, if that is possible.
We appreciate your understanding and support of this situation while the Team makes efforts to find a remedy through Instagram security.
Normal business and brand updates will continue via email, startengine, twitter, linked'in, and youtube.

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.
