Consent to Electronic Records & Signatures

Effective 2026-07-13

This Consent to Electronic Records and Signatures (this "Consent") is a required, standalone agreement between you and Dentist Owners LLC ("Dentist Owners," "we," "us," or "our") that governs how electronic records and electronic signatures are delivered, presented, signed, and retained on the Dentist Owners onboarding and deal-room platform (the "Platform"). It is given under, and is intended to satisfy the disclosure and consent requirements of, the U.S. federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (the "ESIGN Act," 15 U.S.C. Sec. 7001 et seq.) and the Oregon Uniform Electronic Transactions Act ("Oregon UETA," ORS Chapter 84).

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Consent have the meanings given to them in the Dentist Owners Terms of Service. If any electronic-records or electronic-signature consent embedded in the Terms of Service conflicts with this Consent, this Consent controls as to that subject matter.

Please read this Consent in full before you accept it. You are being asked to accept it as a separate, affirmative step — it is not bundled inside acceptance of the Terms of Service or any other click. If you do not accept this Consent, you can still ask us for paper records as described below, but you will not be able to review or sign agreements electronically in the deal room, and we will not be able to make the Platform's electronic transaction process available to you.

1. Your affirmative consent

By selecting "I agree" (or a substantially similar affirmation) on this page, you affirmatively consent to: (a) transact business with us and other Platform participants by electronic means; (b) receive, review, and retain the records described in Section 3 in electronic form rather than on paper; and (c) sign those records with an electronic signature. You agree that your electronic signature is the legal equivalent of, and has the same force and effect as, your handwritten (wet-ink) signature, and that, to the extent provided by the ESIGN Act and Oregon UETA, electronic records and signatures created on the Platform are valid, admissible, and enforceable and will not be denied legal effect solely because they are electronic.

2. This Consent is a separate gate

This Consent is presented and assented to on its own, apart from the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Disclaimer and No-Offer-of-Securities Notice, and apart from the signing of any individual agreement. Accepting it once establishes your general consent to electronic records and signatures across the categories of records listed in Section 3; it does not, by itself, sign any specific agreement — each agreement is signed by its own separate signing act (see Section 9).

3. Records covered by this Consent (categories)

Your consent applies to the following categories of records and to future records of the same kinds, not to a single transaction:

  • These website policies and their updates: the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Disclaimer and No-Offer-of-Securities Notice, and this Consent.
  • Deal-room and transaction agreements, including any Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement, Participation / Contribution Agreement, Letter of Intent, Contribution & Purchase Agreement, Subscription & Accredited-Investor Agreement, operating or members agreement and joinders to it, disclosure schedules, and any exhibits, schedules, amendments, joinders, powers of attorney, or ancillary documents to any of them.
  • Account, onboarding, identity- and accredited-investor-verification, and diligence records, and communications relating to them.
  • Notices, disclosures, confirmations, certificates, receipts, consents, and other communications we are required or elect to provide to you in connection with the Platform or any transaction.

Some of the agreements above relate to the offer or transfer of securities. For those records in particular, the electronic-signature audit trail described in Section 10 is an important part of the evidence of enforceability and of the private-placement exemption relied on, and you consent to its creation and use accordingly.

4. Scope of the consumer disclosures; commercial transactions

The consumer-disclosure and consent requirements of ESIGN Act Section 7001(c) apply, by their terms, to records that a law requires to be provided or made available to a consumer in writing. Many of the records covered by this Consent are commercial or business records that are not subject to those particular requirements. To avoid any doubt, we provide the disclosures in this Consent, and you give this Consent, for all covered records on a belt-and-suspenders basis: (a) to the extent any covered record is one for which the law requires consumer consent to electronic delivery, this Consent is intended to satisfy Section 7001(c); and (b) to the extent any covered record is a commercial or business record, you and we separately agree, under Oregon UETA, to conduct that transaction by electronic means, as evidenced by this Consent and by the parties' conduct (see ORS 84.019). Whether Oregon UETA applies to a particular transaction is determined from the context and surrounding circumstances, including the parties' conduct.

5. Right to receive paper copies

Before or after you consent, you may request a paper copy of any record covered by this Consent by contacting us at info@dentistowners.com and identifying the record. The fee for a paper copy is $0.00 (no charge). Requesting a paper copy does not, by itself, withdraw your consent under Section 6.

6. Right to withdraw your consent

You may withdraw your consent to transact electronically at any time by contacting us at info@dentistowners.com and stating that you are withdrawing E-Sign consent. Withdrawal takes effect only after we have had a reasonable opportunity to act on it. The consequences of withdrawal are:

  • Withdrawal is prospective only. It does not invalidate, unwind, or affect the legal effect of any record you already signed or that was already delivered to you electronically, and it does not affect the parties' obligations under any agreement already executed.
  • After withdrawal, you will no longer be able to receive or sign records electronically on the Platform, which means you will generally be unable to continue reviewing or executing agreements in the deal room. We may, at our option, suspend or close your Platform access or arrange to continue on paper.

We will not impose any fee or condition on your withdrawal of consent beyond what is described here, except to the extent a fee is expressly permitted by applicable law.

7. Keeping your contact information current

We deliver electronic records to you through your Platform account and to the email address associated with it. You agree to keep that email address and your other contact information accurate and current, and to promptly update it in your account settings or by contacting info@dentistowners.com. We are not responsible for records you do not receive because your contact information was out of date or because your email provider blocked, filtered, or failed to deliver our messages, except to the extent that responsibility cannot be disclaimed under applicable law.

8. Hardware and software you need

To access, review, sign, and retain electronic records, you need: a current, supported version of a mainstream web browser with cookies, TLS 1.2 or higher, and JavaScript enabled; a device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) capable of running it; a reliable internet connection; a valid email account able to receive messages from us; software able to view and save PDF files; and local storage, a connected printer, or another means to download and retain a copy of each record. If we change these requirements in a way that creates a material risk that you will not be able to access or retain records already covered by your consent, we will notify you and give you the opportunity to withdraw your consent without charge, as described in Section 6, consistent with ESIGN Act Section 7001(c)(1)(D).

9. Demonstrating your ability to access electronic records; intent to sign

Because you are consenting and signing within the same rendered browser environment in which the records are displayed, your affirmation on this page and each signing act reasonably demonstrate that you are able to access information in the electronic form that will be used to provide the records (see 15 U.S.C. Sec. 7001(c)(1)(C)(ii)). When you sign a specific agreement, you do so by a distinct, deliberate act — selecting "Sign," "I agree," or a similar control presented together with the full text of that agreement. By that act you confirm that: you have been able to view the complete record; you are executing it with the intent to sign and to be legally bound by it; and you adopt the resulting electronic signature as your own signature to that exact record. Each agreement is signed by its own separate act, even though your general consent under Section 1 is given once.

10. How signatures and records are captured (attribution, certificate, and audit trail)

Signing on the Platform is available only from within your authenticated account, and access to that account is protected by your credentials and, where enabled, multi-factor authentication. Accordingly, and consistent with ORS 84.033 (attribution of electronic signatures under Oregon UETA), each electronic signature is attributed to the authenticated account and the individual who completed the signing act, as shown by the account's authentication and the audit trail. When you sign, we generate a tamper-evident Certificate of Electronic Signature and a corresponding entry in our append-only audit log that records, to the extent available: the signer's name and email address; the date and time of each material event (consent, viewing, and signing) recorded in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC); the IP address and device or browser information associated with the event; the authentication method used (including any multi-factor authentication); a cryptographic hash of the exact document text presented and signed; and a signature value binding the signer's identity to that hash. A signature attests to the exact bytes of the record presented to you at the moment of signing; if a single byte of that record changes, the signature no longer verifies. Attribution to your account establishes that a signing act occurred under your authenticated credentials; the legal effect of that act is determined under the ESIGN Act, Oregon UETA, and other applicable law.

11. Consent to use of the audit trail as evidence

You agree that the Certificate of Electronic Signature and the associated audit-log records may be retained by us and used as evidence of the existence, content, delivery, attribution, timing, and execution of any electronic record or signature, and, to the extent enforceable under applicable law, you agree not to contest their admissibility solely on the basis that they are in electronic form or were produced by an automated system. This Section does not limit any right you may have to dispute the accuracy of a particular record, and does not waive any right that cannot lawfully be waived.

12. Electronic delivery; when records are received; records in writing

We may provide records to you by posting them in your Platform account, by emailing them or a link or notice to your email address of record, or by another electronic method. To the extent permitted by applicable law, a record is deemed received by you when we make it available in your account or send it to your email address of record, whichever occurs first, whether or not you have actually accessed or opened it. To the extent permitted by the ESIGN Act, Oregon UETA, and other applicable law, any record provided electronically under this Consent satisfies any legal requirement that the record be in writing, be signed, or be delivered or retained in a particular form.

13. Retention of records

We retain executed records and their signature certificates and audit-log entries so that they remain accessible to us and, through your account, to you, for at least seven (7) years after the record is created or the related matter closes. We recommend that you download and independently retain your own copy of each record when it is signed. Regardless of your account status, we may retain records as required to comply with law, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Nothing in this Section reduces any longer retention period required of you or of us by applicable law.

14. Re-confirmation on material changes

We may update this Consent from time to time. If a change is material — for example, a change to the hardware or software requirements in Section 8 or to the categories of records in Section 3 — we will provide notice and, where appropriate, ask you to re-affirm this Consent before you continue transacting electronically. Your continued use of the electronic-signature features after the effective date of an updated Consent constitutes your acceptance of it, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Each version of this Consent is identified by its effective date and version number, and we retain prior versions with the audit-log record of the version in effect when you consented.

15. Relationship to other agreements; no waiver of substantive terms

This Consent governs only the manner in which records are delivered, presented, signed, and retained electronically. It does not modify, waive, or supersede any substantive term of the Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy, the Disclaimer and No-Offer-of-Securities Notice, or any deal-room or transaction agreement, each of which continues to be governed by its own terms. Nothing in this Consent is an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security; the terms on which any security may be offered or sold are set out solely in the applicable Subscription & Accredited-Investor Agreement and related transaction documents.

16. Severability; no waiver of non-waivable rights

If any provision of this Consent is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted, or, if it cannot be, severed, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Nothing in this Consent limits, waives, or is intended to limit or waive any right you have under the ESIGN Act, Oregon UETA, or other applicable law that cannot lawfully be waived, and any provision that would do so is modified to the minimum extent necessary to comply.

17. Governing law

This Consent, and the validity and effect of electronic records and signatures created under it, are governed by the federal ESIGN Act and by the Oregon Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (ORS Chapter 84), without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, except to the extent a mandatory law of another jurisdiction applies to a particular record. Nothing in this Consent limits any right you have under the ESIGN Act or Oregon UETA that cannot lawfully be waived.
