OneSourcebyPCS.com is an online lending and investor services platform (the “Platform”) operated by Southland Equities, LLC dba OneSource by PCS, a California limited liability company (the “Company”). The Company operates in California under California Finance Lender License #60DBO 48735 and DRE license #01930374. By accessing this site and any pages thereof, you agree to be bound by the Company’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. The Platform is intended only for accredited investors (for persons residing in the U.S.), and for persons residing abroad in jurisdictions where securities registration exemptions apply.
The Company does not make investment recommendations, and no communication through this website or in any other medium should be construed as such. Investment opportunities posted on this website are “private placements” of notes and securities that are not publicly traded, may subject to holding period and other significant requirements, are subject to limitations on transfer and assignment, and are intended for investors who do not need a liquid investment and are able to sustain investment losses.
Your private placement investments in the Company’s notes and securities are not bank deposits (and thus not insured by the FDIC or by any other federal governmental agency), are not guaranteed by the Company or its principals, and may lose value. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any federal or state securities commission or regulatory authority has recommended or approved any investment or the accuracy or completeness of any of the information or materials provided by or through the website. Investors must be able to afford the loss of their entire investment.
Any financial projections or returns shown on the website are illustrative examples only, and there can be no assurance that any valuations provided are accurate or in agreement with market or industry valuations. Any investment information contained herein has been secured from sources the Company believes are reliable, but we make no representations or warranties as to the accuracy of such information and accept no liability therefor. Offers to sell, or the solicitations of offers to buy, any note or security can only be made to qualified offerees through official offering documents that contain important information about risks, fees and expenses. Investors should conduct their own due diligence, not rely on the financial assumptions or estimates displayed on this website, and are encouraged to consult with a financial advisor, attorney, accountant, and any other professional that can help explain more fully the risks associated with any investment opportunity.
The securities offered on the OneSource by PCS online lending and investment services platform (the “Platform”) have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, in reliance on the exemptive provisions of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D and Rule 506, and/or Regulation S, promulgated thereunder.
Securities such as the notes and securities made available on the Platform are sold through private placements. They are restricted and not publicly traded, and are therefore illiquid. Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission or other regulatory authority has approved, passed upon or endorsed the merits of any offering on the Platform.
The portion of the Platform which relates to investment opportunities offered therein are not available to the general public, nor are the investment opportunities offered to the general public. They are available only to certain qualified, registered and authorized users who are Accredited Investors.
As defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, an individual Accredited Investor must have a net worth of more than $1 million (excluding their primary residence), or gross income for each of the last two years of at least $200,000 ($300,000 jointly with their spouse) with the expectation of a similarly qualifying income during the current year. In some cases, you or your advisors may be required to provide supporting documents to provide proof that you are an Accredited Investor. Such authorization may require completion of an Accredited Investor questionnaire and satisfactory background information screening. Your failure to provide any information and documentation requested to confirm your status as an Accredited Investor will be cause for the Company to immediately disqualify you from participating in any investments offered on the Platform and to discontinue your use of the Platform by preventing your access to it.
We are not an Investment Adviser
The Company is not a registered investment adviser and does not conduct any activity that would require such registration. We do not hold ourselves out as securities investment advisers or financial planners or otherwise accept advisory clients or provide advisory services with respect to securities.
Investment overviews on the Platform contain summaries of the purpose and principal business terms of the investment opportunities and other information related to the assets and activities of the Company. Such summaries are intended for informational purposes only and do not purport to be complete, and each is qualified in its entirety by reference to the more detailed discussions contained in the investor document package relating to any such investment opportunity. The information contained in the Platform has been prepared by the Company entirely without reference to any particular user’s investment requirements or objectives, financial situation, portfolio or diversification strategy or objectives, or overall suitability. Thus, all potential investors are encouraged to consult with professional tax, legal and financial advisors before making any investment.
We are not a Broker Dealer
The notes and securities offered to investors on the Platform are offered directly by the Company and/or its affiliates. We do not operate as a registered broker-dealer in any jurisdiction, nor do we believe that we are obligated to do so.
We are not an Investment Company
A company that is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities may be deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Investment Company Act). The Investment Company Act contains substantive legal requirements that regulate the manner in which “investment companies” are permitted to conduct their business activities. We believe we are conducting, have conducted, and we intend to continue to conduct, our business in a manner that does not result in us being characterized as an investment company.
Foreign
From time to time, non-U.S. residents may attempt to participate in our Platform investments. We are not experts with respect to all applicable laws in the various foreign jurisdictions, and we cannot be sure that we or you are complying with applicable foreign laws.
The OneSource by PCS lending and investor services platform (“Platform”) was created by OneSource by PCS, LLC, a California limited liability company (the “Company”), to provide information about the Company, its activities, investments, services and potential investment opportunities (collectively, together with the Platform itself, the “Services”). We value the privacy of our visitors and investors, and in order to protect your personal information, we have implemented the following Privacy Policy.
If you have questions about our Privacy Policy, you may contact us at info@onesourcebypcs.com.
The Privacy Policy set forth below explains the nature of the information we collect and use, the options available to you regarding those uses, the use of your personal or personally identifiable information, and our Platform’s security policies.
Personal and Financial Data
The Company collects personal and financial information when you visit the Platform. Much of this information is collected during the registration and/or application process and, while some items are optional, most are required for legal or security purposes. You may choose to provide additional information during subsequent visits to the Platform; in some cases, this additional information will be required by us as a condition of your participation in the investments made available on the Platform or your continued use of the Services.
Generally, the type of information we collect includes, but is not limited to:
• Data required to verify your identity;
• Personal and financial data necessary to assess your eligibility to utilize the Services on the Platform; and
• Non-identifiable and aggregated personal data pertaining to your Platform visits that help the Company evaluate and maintain quality control with respect to the features, functionality and user experience of the Platform.
Personal Data
Investor registration pages and forms will require you to provide basic personal data. This typically includes your name, email address, home address and phone number, date of birth, social security number and/or tax identification number, employer, income, job title, and net worth. The Company uses this data to: (i) enable you to register with, log in and return to the Platform; (ii) establish your ability to view offering materials and to make investments through the Platform (for U.S. residents, such ability is restricted to “accredited investors” with a certain level of annual income or net worth); (iii) determine your qualification to avail yourself of the Services; (iv) verify your age; (v) guard against potential fraud; (vi) contact you if we have questions or concerns about; and (vii) maintain regular communications with you regarding investments you have made, current or pending investment opportunities, Company activities and other updates.
We also gather the names and email addresses of users and visitors who contact us through the Platform with questions about the Company, the Platform or the Services. We collect this information for the sole purpose of responding to such inquiries and improving the Platform and the Services; we generally do not store the contact information unless requested to do so, as in the case of job applicants who submit resumes.
Financial Data (for Investors)
When you subscribe to make an investment in one of our offerings on the Platform, you will again be asked for your personal data. You will also be required to provide financial data, such as your bank routing number and bank account number, to enable us to utilize your bank account to originate funds transfers and make subsequent investment disbursements to you.
Other Personal Data
Regardless of whether you register for an account or submit an application, the Company may send one or more “cookies” to your computer. Cookies are small text files placed on your web browser when you visit our Platform that store information on your computer, such as your Platform preferences. We use cookies when you sign in to keep track of your personal session, including some account identifiers to ensure that you are the only person making changes to your account. We also use cookies to track your activity on the Platform as a unique person. For security purposes, all of this information is stored in encrypted form. No personal information about you is stored.
You can set your web browser to inform you when cookies are set, or to prevent cookies from being set altogether. Please note, however, that if you decline to use cookies, you may experience reduced functionality and slower site response times. In some instances, declining to use our authentication-related cookies may prevent you from using the website entirely.
The Company and its service providers may also collect web surfing data related to your use of the Platform. Such information may include: your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, and internet service provider (ISP); your operating system; which of our web pages you access and how frequently you access them; referral or exit pages; click stream data; and the dates and times that you visit the Platform. This data may be collected using cookies, web beacons, page tags or similar tools. As with cookies, the web surfing information is anonymous, “click stream” transactional data that is not associated with any users as individuals.
Web surfing data and similar information may be aggregated for administrative purposes. We may use this aggregated information in the administration of the Platform to improve its usability and to evaluate the success of particular marketing and advertising campaigns. We also use it to help optimize the Platform based on the needs of our users.
Sharing of Personal Information
We do not sell or rent personal information about our users for marketing purposes. We do, however, work with a number of trusted partners who perform vital functions as part of our operations.
Sharing of Investor Information
Your investment profile information may, in a generic way, be made publicly available for use on the “Statistics” page of the Platform or in other summaries of aggregate investment data or investment performance.
If you enter comments on the Platform, you should be aware that any personally identifiable information you submit there can be read, collected, or used by other users of the Platform. We are not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to include in comments which you post or submit.
Additional Sharing of Information
We also may work with (among others) providers of hosting services for the Platform, electronic signature providers, and electronic payment service providers. We may engage third parties to help us carry out certain other internal functions such as account processing, client services, or other data collection relevant to our business. Examples of third parties might include those that perform data processing, reporting, tax documentation, custody or escrow services. Information is shared with these third parties only to the extent necessary for us to process the transactions you initiate or perform other specific services, like collections. Our partners are legally required to keep your information private and secure.
We may share your information with law enforcement or other government agencies as required by law or for the purposes of limiting fraud. We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order or legal process. We further reserve the right to disclose any of your personal information that we believe, in good faith, appropriate or necessary to take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend against any third party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, to protect the security or integrity of the Platform or our services, or to protect the rights, property or personal safety of the Company, its users, issuers, or others.
Notifications and Communications from Our Platform
The Company will send you email notifications from time to time. Some notifications are required elements of your transactions on our platform, such as confirmations of particular actions you have taken. These mandatory notices are sent typically to notify you of a change in status. For example, you will receive a notice when you are confirmed as an investor.
We also send out notices that are required for legal or security purposes. For example, certain notifications are sent for your own protection to ensure that another person cannot make a change to your account without your knowledge. In other cases, these notifications involve changes to various legal agreements or Platform policies. Generally, you may not opt out of such service-related emails.
When you register as an investor, you will receive emails that confirm specific actions you requested. These will include emails to which you must respond to complete your registration and notifications confirming your registration. Thereafter, you will receive emails when a new investment opportunity is offered, as well as updates concerning the progress of the funding of such offering and/or other relevant information. If you make an investment through the Platform, we will also send you confirmations of the investment as well as occasional updates as to the status of that investment and the timing of distributions relating to that investment.
We may also send you responses to emails you send us, if appropriate. From time to time, we will also send user surveys, requests for user feedback regarding user experience and Platform operations, or marketing offers from us or from us on behalf of our marketing partners. Completing these surveys, answering requests for feedback, or accepting any offer is strictly voluntary. If you do not wish to receive these surveys, user feedback emails, and/or marketing offers, please opt out in any offer email you receive from us.
Where You Can View and Correct Your Information
We urge you to review your information regularly to ensure that it is correct and complete. If you believe that any of your information is incorrect, or if you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy, please contact us at info@onesourcebypcs.com
Links to Other Sites
If you follow any links that direct you away from the Platform, this privacy policy will not apply to your activity on the other websites you visit. We do not control the privacy policies or the privacy practices of any third parties.
International Users
The Platform may be accessed by users located outside the United States. If you choose to use the Service from the European Union or other regions of the world with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, then please note that you are transferring your personal information outside of those regions to the United States, and that by providing your personal information on or through the Platform then you consent to that transfer.
Security Policy
Access Limitations
We limit access to the personal information we have about you to those employees who have a legitimate business need to access such information. In keeping with industry standards and practices, we maintain appropriate physical, electronic and procedural safeguards and controls to protect your information. The Platform is built upon a secure infrastructure with multiple layers of protection, and we use industry-standard encryption technologies to safeguard your information.
Users are required to identify and authenticate themselves prior to accessing sensitive portions of the Platform. Generally, identification and authentication take place through the use of your username and a password and/or while logging in with one of our technical support staff.
Notifications of Security Systems Breach
If we learn of a security systems breach, then we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. We may also post a notice on or through the Platform in the event of a security breach. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing.
Take Precautionary Measures
You can take several precautions to protect the security of your computer and personal information. For instance, you can use a strong password and restrict access to your email account. You can also install and regularly update antivirus and firewall software to protect your computer from external attacks by malicious users. When you are finished with a session on the Platform, be sure that you log out and close the browser window.
You should also be aware of fraudulent attempts to gain access to your account information through “phishing,” whereby scammers try to bring unsuspecting people to a website by using a genuine-looking email purporting to be from a legitimate company. Sometimes, either in the email itself or on this fake site, scammers will ask for login information to gain access to people’s accounts and withdraw their money.
We will never send you an email asking you for your login information. In general, you can protect yourself against phishing by never providing personal or login information via a link contained in an email; instead, go the website directly from your browser’s home page.

Changes to our Terms of Service
We may make changes to our Terms of Service from time to time.

The portion of our Platform Services (and certain webpages contained therein) that relate to the viewing of actual investment opportunities or to making investments in the securities offered therein are available only to certain qualified, registered and authorized users. Such portions of our Platform Services and the Platform may thus not be available in all jurisdictions or to all Users.

Persons who are resident outside of the United States are allowed access to such investment opportunities only if such access does not violate the laws of their country of residence. Our services (and certain pages of the Platform) that relate to the viewing of actual investment opportunities or to making investments in the securities offered therein may not be used by any person or entity in any jurisdiction where the provision or use thereof would be contrary to applicable laws, rules or regulations of any governmental authority or where we are not authorized to provide such information or services.
Securities Offerings; No Professional Advice Provided
The securities offered on the Website have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, in reliance on the exemptive provisions of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D and Rule 506, and/or Regulation S, promulgated thereunder. Securities sold through private placements are restricted and not publicly traded, and are therefore illiquid. Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission or other regulatory authority has approved, passed upon or endorsed the merits of any offering on the Platform.
The Company is not a registered broker-dealer, funding portal, or investment advisor and does not conduct any activity that would require such registration. We do not hold ourselves out as investment advisers or financial planners or otherwise accept advisory clients or provide advisory services.

The information contained in the Platform has been prepared by the Company without reference to any particular user’s investment requirements or financial situation, and potential investors are encouraged to consult with their own professional tax, legal and financial advisors before making any investment.
You may not become a beneficial owner of 20% or more of any issuer’s outstanding voting equity securities (an “Issuer Covered Person”) without becoming subject to certain “bad actor” disqualifying events described in Rule 506(d) (a “Disqualifying Event”). You represent that you are not subject to a Disqualifying Event and that you will promptly notify The Company in writing should any Disqualifying Events be applicable to you.

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and other applicable law, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, the registrations of Users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also, at our sole discretion, limit access to the Platform and/or terminate the registrations of any Users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.
Consent to Electronic Transactions and Disclosures
Because the Company operates largely on the Internet, it is necessary for you to consent to transact business with us online and electronically. Before you decide to do business electronically with us, you must satisfy the following computer hardware and software requirements: access to the Internet; an email account and related software capable of receiving email through the Internet; a web browser which is SSL-compliant and supports secure sessions, such as Internet Explorer 5.0 or above and Netscape Navigator 6.0 or above, or the equivalent software; and hardware capable of running this software.
We generally receive all payments, and make all disbursements, through electronic funds transfers (ACH transfers) using the bank (or other financial institution) account information you provide to us. You authorize such bank or other financial account to pay any amounts described herein, and authorize us to make any and all investment disbursements, to such account. You agree to provide updated information regarding your bank or other account upon our request and at any time that the information earlier provided is no longer valid.
As part of doing business with us, you must also consent to our giving you certain disclosures electronically, either via our Platform or to the email address you provide to us. By agreeing to the Terms of Service, you agree to receive electronically all documents, communications, notices, contracts, and agreements, including any IRS Form 1099 or other tax forms, schedules or information statements, arising from or relating to your registration as an investor on our Platform, any investments you may make, your use of this Platform Services, and the servicing of any investment you may make (each, a “Disclosure”), from the Company or any service provider we may use. An IRS Form 1099 refers to any Form 1099 or other Form, Schedule or information statement, including corrections of such documents, required to be provided pursuant to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service rules and regulations and that may be provided electronically (each, an “IRS Form 1099”). The decision to do business with the Company electronically is yours. This document informs you of your rights concerning Disclosures.
Your consent to receive Disclosures and transact business electronically, and our agreement to do so, applies to any transactions to which such Disclosures relate, whether between you and the Company. Your consent will remain in effect for so long as you are a User and, if you are no longer a User, will continue until such a time as all Disclosures relevant to transactions that occurred while you were a User have been made.
You may not withdraw such consent as long as you have outstanding any investments made through the Platform or by way of the Platform Services. If you have no outstanding investments made through the site and wish to withdraw consent to doing business electronically, we will terminate your registered user account with us.
You also expressly consent to receiving calls and messages, including auto-dialed and pre-recorded message calls, and SMS messages (including text messages) from us, our affiliates, marketing partners, agents and others calling at their request or on their behalf, at any telephone numbers that you have provided or may provide in the future (including any cellular telephone numbers). Your cellular or mobile telephone provider will charge you according to the type of plan you carry.
If you are accessing our site and the Disclosures electronically via a mobile device (such as a smart phone, tablet, and the like), in addition to the above requirements you must make sure that you have software on your mobile device that allows you to print and save the Disclosures presented to you during the application process. These applications can be found for most mobile devices in the device’s respective “app store”. If you do not have these capabilities on your mobile device, please access our site through a device that provides these capabilities.
Updates.
You must keep us informed of any change in your e-mail address, your home mailing address, or your telephone number so that we can maintain communications with you about your authorization as a registered User and so that you can continue to receive all Disclosures in a timely fashion. You can contact us by e-mail at info@onesourcebypcs.com or by calling us at (818) 663-7687. You may also reach us in writing to us at the following address:

Governing Law; Arbitration
By visiting or using the Platform and/or the Platform Services, you agree that the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any principles of conflict of laws that would require or permit the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction, will govern these Terms of Service. By agreeing to the Terms and using the Platform and the Platform Services, you agree to submit to personal jurisdiction in Delaware for all purposes, and you agree to waive, to maximum extent permitted by law, any right to a trial by jury for any matter. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by you and us, any dispute arising out of or relating to the Terms, or any breach thereof, shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, or such arbitration body as required by law, rule or regulation, and final judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language before a single arbitrator in Los Angeles, California.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either The Company or you may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief without breach of this arbitration provision.
