These Terms of Service (“Terms” or “Agreement”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“User,” “you,” or “your”) and Patagon Markets LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Patagon,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), governing your access to and use of the Patagon Markets platform, website, mobile applications, and all related services (collectively, the “Platform” or “Services”).
By accessing or using the Platform, creating an account, or clicking “I Agree” or similar acceptance mechanism, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Platform.
1.2 Capacity
You represent and warrant that you have the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement. If you are accessing or using the Platform on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind such entity to these Terms.
1.3 Additional Agreements
Certain Services may be subject to additional terms, conditions, or agreements, including but not limited to subscription agreements, investment documents, banking agreements, and service-specific terms (“Additional Agreements”). In the event of a conflict between these Terms and any Additional Agreement, the Additional Agreement shall control with respect to the specific Service to which it applies.
1.4 Privacy Policy
Your use of the Platform is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Platform, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in the Privacy Policy.
2. Eligibility and Access
2.1 General Eligibility
To use the Platform, you must: (a) be at least eighteen (18) years of age or, if greater, the age of majority in the jurisdiction(s) from which you access the Platform or utilize the Services; (b) not be prohibited from using the Services under applicable law; (c) not be located in, organized in, or a resident of any jurisdiction subject to comprehensive sanctions administered by (i) the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions; (ii) the European Union under its Common Foreign and Security Policy; (iii) His Majesty’s Treasury of the United Kingdom (“HMT”); (iv) the United Nations Security Council; (v) the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (“CIMA”); (vi) the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission; (vii) the Guernsey Financial Services Commission; (viii) the Jersey Financial Services Commission; or (ix) any other applicable governmental authority (collectively, “Sanctions Authorities”), and not appear on any restricted or designated persons list maintained by any such Sanctions Authority, including OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (“SDN List”), the EU Consolidated List, or the UK Sanctions List; and (d) not be a person or entity designated on any U.S. government prohibited or restricted party list.
2.2 Accreditation and Qualification Requirements
Certain Services, including but not limited to access to private securities offerings conducted pursuant to Rule 506(b) or Rule 506(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), are available only to investors who meet applicable investor suitability, experience, and sophistication requirements as determined by Patagon in its sole and absolute discretion. Such requirements may include, among other things, qualifying as an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D; a “qualified client” within the meaning of the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended; and/or a “qualified purchaser” within the meaning of the rules promulgated under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. You represent and warrant that any accreditation, qualification, or suitability status you claim is true, accurate, and complete.
For offerings conducted pursuant to Rule 506(c) of Regulation D, Patagon is required to take reasonable steps to verify your accredited investor status independent of any self-certification or representation. By accessing or expressing interest in any such offering, you agree to cooperate with Patagon’s verification procedures, which may include providing documentation such as tax returns, W-2s, bank or brokerage statements, credit reports, or written confirmation from a registered broker-dealer, SEC-registered investment adviser, licensed attorney, or certified public accountant, in each case as contemplated by Rule 506(c)(2)(ii) of Regulation D. Failure or refusal to provide requested verification documentation may result in your exclusion from the applicable offering. For the avoidance of doubt, no self-certification, representation, or warranty made by you hereunder shall be deemed to satisfy Patagon’s independent verification obligations under Rule 506(c).
2.3 Access Codes, Pre-Existing Relationships, and Restricted Access
Certain portions of the Platform, particularly those providing access to securities offerings conducted pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D, require the establishment of a substantive, pre-existing relationship with Patagon prior to access. You acknowledge that access codes are issued only after we have established such a relationship through direct interaction with you, which may include meetings, calls, correspondence, or other communications sufficient to evaluate your sophistication and suitability. Access codes are issued at our sole discretion and may be revoked at any time without notice or liability. The issuance of an access code does not guarantee access to any particular investment opportunity or Service. Access codes are personal to you and may not be shared, transferred, or disclosed to any third party. Any attempt to access restricted portions of the Platform without a properly issued access code or without having established the requisite pre-existing relationship is prohibited.
2.4 Non-U.S. Users
If you are located outside the United States, you are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Platform complies with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction. We make no representation that the Platform or any content, materials, or Services are appropriate or available for use outside the United States. Access to the Platform from jurisdictions where the content or Services are illegal is prohibited.
2.5 Verification and KYC/KYB
We reserve the right to require identity verification, “know your customer” (KYC), “know your business” (KYB), anti-money laundering (AML), accreditation verification, and other compliance checks at any time, including prior to and as a condition of any investment. You agree to provide all requested documentation and information promptly. We may refuse to provide Services to any person or entity that fails to complete required verification procedures to our satisfaction. We may also engage third-party service providers to perform these verification and compliance procedures, and you consent to such engagement. If your verification, accreditation, or compliance status is later determined to be inaccurate, invalid, or revoked, we reserve the right to cancel any pending investment and return funds, unwind completed transactions to the extent legally permissible, or take such other action as we deem appropriate in our sole discretion.
2.6 Right to Refuse Service
We reserve the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, remove or edit content, or cancel orders at our sole discretion, for any reason or no reason, without prior notice or liability.
3. Account Registration and Security
3.1 Account Creation
To access certain features of the Platform, you must create an account by providing accurate, current, and complete information as requested. You agree to maintain and promptly update your account information to keep it accurate, current, and complete.
3.2 Account Security
You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account credentials, including your password and any access codes. You agree to: (a) create a strong, unique password; (b) not share your credentials with any third party, except as expressly permitted herein; (c) immediately notify us of any unauthorized access to or use of your account; and (d) ensure that you log out of your account at the end of each session. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain the security of your account.
3.3 Authorized Users
For entity accounts, you may designate authorized users with varying levels of access and permissions as permitted by the Platform. Authorized users may, within the scope of their designated permissions, take actions that bind the entity, including making investment decisions, initiating transactions, and accessing account information. You represent that each authorized user has the legal authority to act on behalf of the entity within the scope of their designated permissions. You are responsible for all activities conducted by your authorized users and for ensuring that they comply with these Terms. The designation of authorized users and the permissions granted to them are at your sole discretion and risk. We are entitled to rely on actions taken by authorized users without further verification of their authority.
3.4 Account Activity
You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not you authorized such activity. We have no obligation to, except to the extent required by applicable law, but may, monitor account activity for suspicious or unauthorized use.
4. Platform Services
4.1 Overview
The Platform provides access to various financial services and features, which may include: (a) private securities investment opportunities; (b) banking services; (c) digital asset services; (d) payment services; (e) lending services; (f) secondary market transaction facilitation; (g) card services; and (h) informational and educational content. The availability of specific Services may vary based on your eligibility, jurisdiction, and other factors.
4.1.1 Service Availability and Evolution
Not all services described in these Terms may be available at any given time. Services may be introduced, modified, or discontinued at our sole discretion. The description of any Service in these Terms does not obligate us to make such Service available. We may launch new Services, features, or functionality at any time, which shall be subject to these Terms upon launch. Your use of any new Service constitutes acceptance of any applicable terms. We are under no obligation to provide notice before introducing new Services.
4.2 Private Securities Investment Services
4.2.1 Nature of Offerings
We may facilitate access to private securities offerings, including interests in special purpose vehicles (“SPVs”), funds, and direct investments in private companies. These offerings are conducted pursuant to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act, including but not limited to Rule 506(b) and Rule 506(c) of Regulation D.
4.2.2 SPV Structure
Investments facilitated through the Platform may be structured through SPVs organized as limited partnerships, limited liability companies, or other entities. Each SPV is governed by its own organizational documents, including limited partnership agreements or operating agreements, which set forth the rights, obligations, and economic terms applicable to investors.
By investing through an SPV, you agree to be bound by the applicable organizational documents.
4.2.3 General Partner / Manager Role
Each SPV is typically managed by a separate general partner or manager entity formed specifically for that investment (“Deal GP”). Patagon, its affiliates, or principals of Patagon may own, control, or be affiliated with such Deal GPs. The Deal GP has broad discretion over the management, operation, and investment decisions of the SPV, subject to the terms of the applicable organizational documents. You acknowledge that investing in an SPV creates a relationship with the applicable Deal GP, not with Patagon Markets LLC directly, except to the extent Patagon Markets LLC is the Deal GP for a particular investment.
4.2.4 Third-Party Offerings
We may also facilitate investments in SPVs or funds managed by third parties. In such cases, Patagon acts solely as a referral source or placement agent and has no control over the management or operation of such vehicles. You are solely responsible for conducting your own due diligence on any third-party offering.
4.2.5 No Offer of Securities; No Guarantee of Access
The Platform and the information included herein is for general information purposes only. Under no circumstances should any material on the Platform be used or considered as an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security or other financial product, including any interest in any investment fund or vehicle sponsored or managed by Patagon or any of its affiliates. Any such offer or solicitation can and will be made only by means of the applicable confidential offering memorandum, term sheet, or other offering documents, only in jurisdictions in which such an offer would be lawful, and only to individuals or entities that meet the applicable investor suitability and sophistication requirements as determined by Patagon in its sole and absolute discretion.
The display of any company or investment opportunity on the Platform does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security. Many companies displayed may not have active offerings (“Inactive Listings”). Expressing interest in an Inactive Listing does not guarantee that an offering will become available or that you will be allocated any investment if an offering does become available. Allocation of investment opportunities is at our sole discretion.
4.2.6 Investment Risks
Private securities investments are speculative, illiquid, and involve a high degree of risk, including the potential loss of your entire investment. Past performance is not indicative of future results. You should only invest funds that you can afford to lose entirely.
4.3 Banking Services
4.3.1 Bank Partner
Banking services available through the Platform are provided by Erebor Bank, N.A., a nationally chartered bank and Member FDIC (“Bank Partner”), not by Patagon. When you open a bank account through the Platform, you become a customer of the Bank Partner directly. Patagon acts as a technology provider facilitating your access to the Bank Partner’s services.
4.3.2 Separate Agreement
Your use of banking services is governed by the Bank Partner’s account agreement, disclosures, and other applicable terms, which you must accept separately. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Bank Partner’s terms regarding banking services, the Bank Partner’s terms shall control.
4.3.3 FDIC Insurance
Deposits held at the Bank Partner may be eligible for FDIC insurance up to applicable limits. Patagon is not a bank and does not provide FDIC insurance.
4.3.4 Account Features
Banking services may include, without limitation: (a) deposit accounts; (b) wire transfer capabilities; (c) ACH transfers; (d) stablecoin (USDC) conversion and transfer capabilities; and (e) debit card services. The availability of specific features is determined by the Bank Partner and may be subject to additional terms, fees, and limitations.
4.3.5 Yield and Interest
Deposit accounts may earn interest or yield at rates determined by the Bank Partner.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to retain any or all interest or yield generated on your deposits. We may, at our sole discretion, elect to pass through some or all of such interest or yield to you, but we are under no obligation to do so and may change our practices at any time without notice.
4.3.6 Payment Authorization
You may authorize us to initiate debits from your bank account for purposes including, without limitation, funding investments, paying fees, and settling transactions. Such authorization shall remain in effect until revoked by you in writing. You agree that we may rely on any authorization given in connection with the Platform without further verification.
4.3.7 Continuity of Banking Relationship
In the event of termination of your relationship with Patagon or discontinuation of the Platform, your banking relationship with the Bank Partner may continue directly with the Bank Partner, subject to the Bank Partner’s terms and policies.
4.4 Card Services
4.4.1 Card Issuer
Debit cards, whether virtual or physical, made available through the Platform are issued by a third-party card issuer or the Bank Partner pursuant to a license from applicable payment networks. Patagon is not the issuer of any cards.
4.4.2 Card Terms
Your use of any card is subject to the applicable cardholder agreement and terms provided by the card issuer. You agree to comply with all such terms and any applicable payment network rules.
4.4.3 Card Availability
Card services may not be available in all jurisdictions or to all users. We reserve the right to limit, suspend, or terminate card services at any time.
4.5 Digital Asset Services
4.5.1 Scope
We may provide services enabling you to purchase, hold, and sell certain digital assets (“Crypto Assets”) through the Platform. The specific Crypto Assets available are determined by us in our sole discretion and may change at any time.
4.5.2 Custody
Crypto Assets purchased through the Platform are held in custody by Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC or an affiliate (“Crypto Custodian”), a qualified custodian. Patagon does not take custody of your Crypto Assets. You acknowledge that Crypto Assets held by the Crypto Custodian are subject to the Crypto Custodian’s terms and conditions.
4.5.3 Principal Transactions
When you purchase or sell Crypto Assets through the Platform, you are transacting directly with Patagon as principal. We quote prices for Crypto Assets and, if you accept, we buy from or sell to you from our own inventory or working capital.
We are not acting as your agent or broker for Crypto Asset transactions. Prices quoted may include a spread or markup above our cost basis, which constitutes compensation to us.
4.5.4 Pricing
Prices for Crypto Assets are quoted at our sole discretion and may be based on, but are not guaranteed to match, prices on third-party exchanges or market data sources. We do not guarantee best execution or any particular price. You acknowledge that prices may differ from prices available on other platforms.
4.5.5 Lending and Yield
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion and without notice, to lend Crypto Assets held on your behalf to third parties, including the Crypto Custodian or its affiliates, for the purpose of generating yield or for other purposes. Any yield generated from such lending may be retained by us in whole or in part, or may be passed through to you in whole or in part, at our sole discretion. We are under no obligation to pass through any yield and may change our practices at any time.
4.5.6 Not Securities; No FDIC/SIPC
Crypto Assets are not securities, bank deposits, or investment contracts. Crypto Assets are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), or any other governmental or quasi-governmental agency. The value of Crypto Assets is highly volatile and may decline to zero.
4.5.7 Crypto Risks
Crypto Assets are highly speculative and involve substantial risks, including the risk of total loss. Risks include, without limitation: price volatility; regulatory uncertainty; cybersecurity risks; technology risks; liquidity risks; and risks associated with blockchain technology. You should only allocate funds to Crypto Assets that you can afford to lose entirely.
4.6 Lending Services
4.6.1 Lender
Loans against private securities positions or other collateral may be made available through the Platform. Such loans are provided by the Bank Partner or other third-party lenders, not by Patagon. Patagon acts solely as a technology provider and referral source.
4.6.2 Loan Terms
Each loan is subject to its own loan agreement, promissory note, security agreement, and other documentation provided by the lender. Loan-to-value ratios, interest rates, repayment terms, and other conditions are determined by the lender in its sole discretion and may vary based on the collateral, borrower, market conditions, and other factors.
4.6.3 Collateral Risks
If you borrow against private securities or other assets, you risk losing your collateral if you fail to meet your loan obligations. Private securities used as collateral may be illiquid and difficult to value, which may result in margin calls or forced liquidation at unfavorable terms.
4.7 Secondary Market Services
4.7.1 Marketplace Functionality
The Platform may provide functionality enabling users to indicate interest in buying or selling interests in SPVs or other private securities (“Secondary Transactions”). We may display bids, asks, or indications of interest submitted by users.
4.7.2 Facilitation Role
We facilitate Secondary Transactions by providing technology and administrative services. We do not guarantee that any Secondary Transaction will be completed. All Secondary Transactions are subject to applicable transfer restrictions, organizational document provisions, approval requirements, and securities laws.
4.7.3 No Exchange
The Platform is not a securities exchange, alternative trading system, or broker-dealer. We do not match orders, provide execution services, or hold ourselves out as a market maker for any security.
4.7.4 Transfer Restrictions
Interests in SPVs and other private securities are typically subject to transfer restrictions, including restrictions under applicable securities laws and the organizational documents governing such interests. You are solely responsible for ensuring that any transfer complies with all applicable restrictions.

4.8.1 Functionality
The Platform may enable you to send payments to other users through your bank account. Such payments are processed through the Bank Partner’s systems.
4.8.2 Irrevocability
Once a payment is initiated, it may not be reversible. You are solely responsible for verifying the recipient and amount before initiating any payment.
4.8.3 No Liability
We are not liable for payments sent to incorrect recipients, unauthorized payments (except to the extent caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct), or any other payment errors.
4.9 Portfolio Dashboard and Documentation
The Platform may provide access to view your investment holdings, account balances, transaction history, and related documentation, including organizational documents, subscription agreements, investor communications, and tax documents. While we endeavor to keep such information current and accurate, you are solely responsible for maintaining your own records. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of information displayed on the Platform.
4.10 Wishlist, Interest Indications, and Company Requests
You may indicate interest in companies or investment opportunities through wishlists or similar features. You may also request that we consider offering access to specific companies or investment opportunities. Such indications and requests are for informational purposes only and do not constitute a commitment to invest, a reservation of any allocation, or any other binding obligation on either party. We are under no obligation to act on any request or to make any company or opportunity available. We may use such indications and requests to inform our business decisions, including decisions about which offerings to pursue.
4.11 Educational and Informational Content
4.11.1 Nature of Content
The Platform may provide investment memos, research, theses, news, and other informational content. Such content is provided for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, financial advice, tax advice, legal advice, or any other form of professional advice.
4.11.2 No Recommendation
The inclusion of any company, asset, or investment opportunity on the Platform or in any content does not constitute a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security or asset. You are solely responsible for making your own investment decisions.

We may charge fees for Services provided through the Platform, including but not limited to: management fees, carried interest, transaction fees, payment processing fees, wire fees, card fees, foreign exchange fees, spread or markup on Crypto Asset transactions, and other fees.

You remain responsible for any amounts owed. We may suspend your access to the Platform until any negative balance is resolved.

You will receive Schedule K-1 or other applicable tax documents reflecting your share of income, deductions, gains, losses, and credits.

We do not guarantee any specific timing for delivery of tax documents and shall not be liable for any penalties, interest, or other costs incurred by you as a result of delayed tax reporting.

Conflicts may arise from, among other things: (a) Patagon or affiliates serving as general partner, manager, or in similar capacities for SPVs in which you invest, entitling them to management fees, carried interest, or other compensation; (b) Patagon receiving fees, commissions, or other compensation from third parties in connection with investments offered through the Platform; (c) Patagon or affiliates investing in the same opportunities available to you, potentially on different terms; (d) Patagon allocating investment opportunities among investors in its sole discretion; (e) Patagon providing services to multiple SPVs and investors with potentially competing interests; (f) principals or employees of Patagon having personal investments in portfolio companies or related entities; and (g) Patagon’s interest in maximizing its fees potentially conflicting with your interest in minimizing costs. We attempt to manage conflicts through disclosure and by acting in accordance with applicable law, but we do not guarantee that all conflicts will be eliminated or that our interests will always align with yours. You should carefully consider these conflicts before investing.
9.10 Regulatory Status
Patagon Markets LLC is not a registered broker-dealer, investment adviser, bank, money transmitter, or other regulated financial institution.
We do not provide broker-dealer services, investment advisory services, or banking services directly. We operate under applicable exemptions from registration and licensing requirements, including but not limited to exemptions available to issuers of securities, technology platform operators, and persons engaged in limited activities that do not require registration. Banking services accessible through the Platform are provided solely by the Bank Partner, a nationally chartered bank. Crypto custody services are provided solely by the Crypto Custodian, a qualified custodian. Card services are provided by third-party card issuers. We act as a technology provider facilitating access to these services. With respect to securities transactions facilitated through the Platform, Patagon relies on exemptions from broker-dealer registration, including exemptions available to issuers, platforms operating under applicable no-action relief, and other available exemptions. We do not receive transaction-based compensation for securities transactions except as permitted under applicable exemptions. The availability and scope of these exemptions may change, and we reserve the right to modify our services and fee structures as necessary to comply with applicable law.
