Electronic Consent as Legal Agreement
I agree that any time I click on an “I Agree,” “I Consent,” or similarly worded button or entry field using my mouse, keystroke, or other device, my agreement or consent is legally binding and enforceable, and is the legal equivalent of my handwritten signature on a paper agreement. I agree to be bound by any affirmation, assent, or agreement that I submit to or through Seed Funder Hub (the “Platform”) via computer or other electronic device, including internet, telephonic, and wireless devices.

Unless otherwise required by law, I will be deemed to have received any electronic Communications sent to the most recent email address I provided to SeedFunderHub.
