These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the Acre Shield Capital website, digital properties, communications, information, and related online services (collectively, the “Services”).
Please read these Terms carefully before accessing or using the Services.
By accessing or using the Services, submitting information through the website, communicating with Acre Shield Capital through the Services, or otherwise interacting with the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you should discontinue use of the Services.
1. About Acre Shield Capital
Acre Shield Capital is a real estate investment firm focused on identifying, underwriting, capitalizing, managing, and executing real estate investment opportunities, including fix-and-flip transactions, wholesales, novations, and other real estate strategies.
The Website may provide information concerning Acre Shield Capital, its investment philosophy, investment structures, real estate activities, potential investment opportunities, investor qualifications, and related business activities.
Information presented through the Website is provided for general informational and preliminary evaluation purposes unless expressly incorporated into definitive written investment documents executed by Acre Shield Capital and the applicable investor.
2. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Services, you represent that:
You are at least eighteen (18) years of age;
You have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms;
You will use the Services only for lawful purposes;
Information you provide to Acre Shield Capital will be accurate and complete to the best of your knowledge; and
Your use of the Services will comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws.
Acre Shield Capital may amend these Terms periodically.
Changes become effective when posted to the Website unless otherwise stated. Your continued use of the Services following publication of revised Terms constitutes acceptance of those Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.
3. Website Information Is Not an Investment Agreement
The Website is intended to provide general information concerning Acre Shield Capital and potential investment opportunities.
Nothing contained on the Website, in marketing materials, during preliminary discussions, or in general communications should be interpreted as modifying, supplementing, replacing, or superseding the terms of a definitive investment agreement.
Any investment with Acre Shield Capital will be governed exclusively by the final written agreements executed in connection with that particular investment.
Depending upon the structure, these agreements may include promissory notes, investment agreements, subscription documents, security agreements, guarantees, lien documentation, mortgage or deed of trust instruments, equity agreements, disclosures, acknowledgments, or other transaction-specific documentation.
If any statement appearing on the Website conflicts with an executed investment document, the executed investment document will control.
4. No Offer or Solicitation Through General Website Content
General information appearing on the Website does not, by itself, constitute an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to purchase, or a recommendation concerning any security, investment product, financial instrument, or particular investment opportunity.
Any offering or investment opportunity will be made only through the applicable transaction documentation and only to persons legally eligible to participate.
Acre Shield Capital reserves the right, in its sole discretion and subject to applicable law, to determine investor eligibility, investment availability, minimum capital requirements, investment structure, transaction terms, and whether to accept or reject any proposed investment.
Submission of an inquiry or participation in an investor consultation does not create any obligation on Acre Shield Capital to offer or accept an investment.
5. Investment Opportunities and Availability
Investment opportunities described through the Services are subject to availability.
Acre Shield Capital may modify, suspend, withdraw, restructure, or discontinue any investment opportunity before final execution of definitive investment documents.
Investment structures may vary based upon factors including:
Capital commitment;
Investment duration;
Underlying real estate assets;
Transaction economics;
Capital requirements;
Project availability;
Market conditions;
Underwriting considerations;
Collateral availability;
Applicable legal requirements; and
Acre Shield Capital's internal investment criteria.
Past availability of a particular rate, structure, collateral arrangement, lien position, or investment opportunity does not guarantee that substantially similar terms will be available in the future.
6. Investment Returns and Rates
The Website may reference potential interest rates, investment terms, historical structures, targeted economics, or ranges of returns associated with certain Acre Shield Capital investment opportunities.
Such information is illustrative unless expressly stated otherwise in definitive investment documentation.
The availability of any specific interest rate or economic structure is dependent upon the applicable transaction.
Most Acre Shield Capital note-based investment opportunities may be structured around an annualized interest rate of approximately 10%, while certain structures may provide rates within a broader range based upon investment size, duration, transaction economics, availability, and other considerations.
Higher-return opportunities are not automatically available and should not be interpreted as standard terms available to every investor.
No investor is entitled to any particular rate, return, payment schedule, or investment term unless expressly established in an executed investment agreement.
7. Investment Risk
Real estate investment activities involve risk.
Real estate values, project timelines, construction expenses, financing conditions, transaction costs, market liquidity, buyer demand, interest rates, regulatory conditions, economic conditions, property-specific events, and other factors may affect investment performance and the underlying transactions in which Acre Shield Capital participates.
Nothing on the Website should be interpreted as representing that real estate investments are risk-free.
References to principal protection, repayment obligations, guarantees, collateral, liens, interest obligations, or other investor protections apply only where expressly established through the governing investment documents.
The existence of a contractual repayment obligation, guarantee, security interest, lien, or collateral does not eliminate all investment or enforcement risk.
Prospective investors should independently evaluate an investment and review all governing documentation before committing capital.
8. Principal and Contractual Obligations
Where expressly provided in definitive investment documentation, Acre Shield Capital may undertake contractual obligations regarding repayment of investor principal.
The precise scope of any principal repayment obligation is determined exclusively by the applicable executed investment documents.
No Website statement should be interpreted as expanding a contractual obligation beyond the provisions contained in those documents.
9. Collateral, First-Position Liens, and Enhanced Security Structures
Certain qualifying investments may be eligible for enhanced collateral protection.
Capital commitments of $200,000 or more may, subject to underwriting, approval, transaction structure, collateral availability, and other applicable conditions, be considered for a first-position lien against a designated real estate asset or project.
Eligibility based upon investment amount does not guarantee availability or approval of a lien structure.
Where a lien, security interest, mortgage, deed of trust, guarantee, or other collateral protection is provided, its scope, priority, collateral coverage, enforcement rights, and associated obligations will be determined exclusively by the transaction-specific documentation.
Any guarantee of principal, interest, or other obligation applies only where expressly documented in an executed agreement signed by the applicable guarantor.
10. Equity Investment Opportunities
Acre Shield Capital may periodically make equity-based investment structures available in connection with selected transactions.
Equity investments differ materially from interest-bearing notes and may involve different rights, risks, economics, distribution structures, time horizons, and potential outcomes.
The existence of note-based investment opportunities should not be interpreted as establishing repayment, return, collateral, or maturity rights for an equity investment unless expressly provided in the applicable equity documentation.
11. No Financial, Legal, Accounting, or Tax Advice
Acre Shield Capital does not provide personalized legal, tax, accounting, or financial-planning advice through the Website.
Information provided through the Website or during preliminary investor communications is intended to describe Acre Shield Capital and potential investment structures and should not be relied upon as individualized professional advice.
Prospective investors are encouraged to consult their own attorney, accountant, tax professional, financial advisor, or other qualified professional regarding the legal, financial, accounting, and tax consequences of an investment.
Each investor remains responsible for independently determining whether an investment is appropriate for that investor's circumstances and objectives.
12. Investor Due Diligence
Prospective investors are responsible for reviewing the definitive documentation associated with an investment prior to funding.
Investors should carefully evaluate, as applicable:
Investment amount;
Interest rate or economic participation;
Payment structure;
Investment duration;
Maturity provisions;
Repayment obligations;
Extension provisions;
Collateral;
Lien priority;
Guarantees;
Default provisions;
Enforcement rights;
Underlying transaction characteristics; and
Other material terms.
Investors should not rely solely on abbreviated website descriptions, advertisements, social media content, presentations, or preliminary conversations when making an investment decision.
13. Communications Consent
By submitting a telephone number, email address, contact form, consultation request, investor inquiry, or other information to Acre Shield Capital, you authorize Acre Shield Capital and its authorized service providers to contact you regarding your inquiry, investment opportunities, appointments, administrative matters, and related communications.
Subject to applicable law, communications may be delivered through:
Telephone calls;

Other communication channels you elect to use.
Your consent to receive marketing communications is not a condition of completing an investment where prohibited by applicable law.
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe functionality provided in the applicable communication.
You may opt out of eligible SMS marketing communications by replying STOP.
Transactional, administrative, contractual, compliance-related, or legally required communications may continue where reasonably necessary.
14. Accuracy of Information Provided by Users
You agree to provide accurate, complete, and current information when communicating with Acre Shield Capital.
You are responsible for information you provide regarding your identity, contact details, investment qualifications, financial circumstances, investment objectives, accreditation status where applicable, or other information requested during the investment evaluation or documentation process.
Acre Shield Capital may rely upon information provided by you unless it has reason to believe additional verification is required.
Acre Shield Capital may decline, delay, suspend, or discontinue an investment relationship if material information cannot reasonably be verified or appears materially inaccurate, misleading, or incomplete.
15. Acceptable Use
You may not use the Services:
