PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN, AMONG OTHER THINGS, A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT REQUIRES YOU TO SUBMIT TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN A JURY TRIAL OR CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

2. Platform Description & Relationship
2.1 Glasshaus Ecosystem
Glasshaus operates a technology platform that facilitates the tokenization of real estate assets on the Cardano blockchain. The Glasshaus ecosystem consists of multiple legal entities:
- Glasshaus Technology, LLC (Wyoming) - Operates the Services, owns the platform and brand, deploys smart contracts
- Glasshaus Property Holdings, LLC (Delaware) - Manages property acquisitions and forms Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) for each property
- Glasshaus Foundation (Cayman Islands) - Custodian of DAO treasury, issuer of GLSH governance tokens
- Property-Specific SPVs (Delaware LLCs) - Each property is held in a separate SPV that issues property tokens
These Terms govern your use of the Services provided by Glasshaus Technology, LLC. Investments in property tokens are subject to separate subscription agreements with the applicable SPV.
2.2 Role as Technology Provider
Glasshaus Technology, LLC is a technology service provider that operates a platform facilitating real estate tokenization. We are NOT:
- An investment advisor, broker-dealer, or financial advisor
- A custodian of your funds or digital assets
- A party to your purchase or sale of property tokens
- A property manager or owner of tokenized properties
- A guarantor of investment returns or property performance
We provide technology infrastructure and facilitate connections between investors and real estate investment opportunities. All investment decisions are made by you independently.
Important: Glasshaus is currently in pre-launch development phase. Property token offerings are not yet available. When property tokens become available (expected Q1-Q2 2026), all securities transactions will be conducted through a registered broker-dealer partner. We are currently in the process of establishing this broker-dealer partnership.

Property tokens will be offered and sold pursuant to Regulation A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Regulation A offerings must be qualified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission before any securities may be sold. Key aspects of Regulation A include:
- SEC Qualification Required: Each property token offering must be qualified by the SEC through Form 1-A filing and review process
- Offering Circular: Detailed offering documents will be provided, including property information, financial statements, risk factors, and terms
- Broker-Dealer Requirement: Securities transactions must be conducted through a registered broker-dealer (partnership pending)
- Ongoing Reporting: Issuers must file semi-annual reports, annual reports, and current reports with the SEC
- Open to Non-Accredited Investors: Regulation A Tier 2 offerings allow both accredited and non-accredited investors to participate, subject to investment limits for non-accredited investors
- Investment Limits: Non-accredited investors may be limited to investing no more than 10% of the greater of annual income or net worth per offering
Forward-Looking Statements: Any statements about future property offerings, timelines, returns, or platform features are forward-looking and not guaranteed. We may not successfully complete Regulation A qualifications, secure broker-dealer partnerships, or launch property token offerings as planned.
Consult Professionals: Before investing in any future property token offering, consult with your financial advisor, attorney, and tax professional to understand whether such investments are appropriate for your financial situation.
5.1 Nature of Property Tokens
Property tokens are digital securities representing fractional membership interests in Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) that own specific real estate properties. Each property is held in a separate Delaware LLC (the “SPV”), and tokens represent proportional ownership in that SPV.
Regulation A Offerings: Property tokens are securities under U.S. law and will be offered pursuant to Regulation A, as amended. Each property token offering will be made only through an offering circular that has been qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). No property tokens are currently offered or sold. Future offerings will be conducted through a registered broker-dealer partner (partnership pending, expected Q1 2026).
No Current Offerings: Property tokens are not yet available for purchase. No money or other consideration is being solicited for property tokens at this time. When offerings become available, they will be made only pursuant to qualified offering circulars filed with the SEC.
5.2 Token Holder Rights
As a property token holder, you have the following rights:
- Economic Rights: Proportional share of net rental income (distributed quarterly) and proceeds from property sale
- Governance Rights: Voting rights on major property decisions through Property Council governance (if applicable per SPV operating agreement)
- Information Rights: Access to quarterly financial reports, annual tax documents (K-1), and material property updates
- Transfer Rights: Subject to securities law restrictions, right to transfer tokens to qualified purchasers
5.3 Token Transfer Restrictions
Property tokens offered under Regulation A are subject to certain transfer restrictions:
- Tokens may be subject to holding period requirements as specified in the offering circular
- Transfers must comply with applicable securities laws and SPV operating agreements
- Regulation A Tier 2 offerings may permit secondary trading to both accredited and non-accredited investors, subject to ongoing reporting compliance
- Platform may facilitate secondary trading but does not guarantee liquidity
- Specific transfer restrictions will be detailed in each property's offering circular
5.4 Tax Implications
Property tokens represent membership interests in pass-through entities (partnerships for tax purposes). Token holders will receive Schedule K-1 forms annually reporting their proportional share of:
- Rental income
- Deductible expenses (property taxes, interest, depreciation, etc.)
- Capital gains or losses (upon property sale)
Consult a tax advisor: Real estate partnership investments have complex tax implications. You are solely responsible for your tax obligations and reporting.
6. GLSH Governance Token
6.1 Nature of GLSH Token
The GLSH token is a utility and governance token issued by Glasshaus Foundation. GLSH tokens provide voting rights in the Glasshaus DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) and other platform governance matters. GLSH tokens are not securities and do not represent:

- Early Access: Priority access to new property offerings before public launch

6.3 No Investment Expectation
GLSH tokens are governance tools, not investments. You acknowledge and agree that:
- GLSH tokens do not represent an investment contract
- There is no expectation of profit from the efforts of Glasshaus or others
- The primary purpose is decentralized governance, not financial return
- GLSH tokens may have no market value and may not be tradable on exchanges
- The platform's success or your participation does not guarantee any economic benefit from holding GLSH
6.4 Blockchain Risks
GLSH tokens are issued on the Cardano blockchain. You acknowledge and accept risks associated with blockchain technology:
- Smart Contract Risks: Bugs, exploits, or vulnerabilities in smart contracts
