Conflicts of Interests 4.8.1 We are required to have arrangements in place to manage conflicts of interest between us and our clients and between different clients. We operate in accordance with a conflicts of interest policy we have put in place for this purpose (which may be revised or updated from time to time) pursuant to Applicable Regulations in which we have identified those situations in which there may be a conflict of interest, and in each case, the steps we have taken to manage that conflict.
4.8.2 We shall not be obliged to disclose to you or take into consideration any fact, matter or finding which might involve a breach of duty or confidence to any other person, or which comes to the notice of any of our directors, officers, employees or agents but does not come to the actual notice of the individual or individuals dealing with you.
4.8.3 The relationship between you and us is as described in this Client Agreement. Neither that relationship, nor the services we provide nor any other matter, will give rise to any fiduciary or equitable duties on our part or on the part of any of our affiliates. As a result, we or any of our affiliates involved in doing business with or for you may act as execution-only brokers and we or any of our affiliates may do business with other clients and other investors whether for our own or such affiliate’s own account.
4.8.4 You accept that we and our Affiliates may either:
4.8.4.1 have interests which conflict with your interest’s, or
4.8.4.2 owe duties which conflict with duties which would otherwise be owed to you, and in either case; or
4.8.4.3 you consent to our acting in any manner which we consider appropriate in such cases subject to Applicable Regulations.

6.2 Updating information You must tell us promptly if information you have provided to us changes, including if your billing address changes or if your use of energy changes (for example, if you start running a business at the premises).
Certain Conflicts of Interest Except as may be provided herein or as otherwise addressed by the Company’s conflicts of interest policies, the Company may not engage in any transaction involving a Conflict of Interest without first submitting such transaction to the Independent Representative for approval to determine whether such transaction is fair and reasonable to the Company and the Members; provided, however, that the Company may not purchase investments from Fundrise Lending, LLC, or its Affiliates without a determination by the Independent Representative that such transaction is fair and reasonable to the Company and at a price to the Company that is not materially greater than the cost of the asset to Fundrise Lending, LLC, or its Affiliate, as applicable. The resolution of any Conflict of Interest approved by the Independent Representative shall be conclusively deemed to be fair and reasonable to the Company and the Members and not a breach of any duty hereunder at law, in equity or otherwise. Notwithstanding the above, to the extent required by applicable law, any transaction involving certain Conflicts of Interest shall be subject to review and approval by the Independent Representative.
General Overview 2.1.1 If NEW PHONE requires maintenance for its local service customers, NEW PHONE will initiate a request for repair (sometimes referred to as a "trouble report") by calling GTE's Customer Care Repair Center. During this call, GTE service representatives will verify that the end-user is a NEW PHONE customer and will then obtain the necessary information from NEW PHONE to process the trouble report. While NEW PHONE representatives are still on the line, GTE personnel will perform an initial analysis of the problem and remote line testing for resale services. If engineered services are involved, the call will be made to the GTE SSCC for handling. If no engineering is required and the line testing reveals that the trouble can be repaired remotely, GTE personnel will correct the problem and close the trouble report while NEW PHONE representatives are still on the line. If on-line resolution is not possible, GTE personnel will provide NEW PHONE representatives a commitment time for repair, and the GTE personnel then will enter the trouble ticket into the GTE service dispatch queue. NEW PHONE's repair service commitment times will be within the same intervals as GTE provides to its own end users. Maintenance and repair of GTE facilities is the responsibility of GTE and will be performed at no incremental charge to NEW PHONE. If, as a result of NEW PHONE-initiated trouble report, trouble is found to be the responsibility of NEW PHONE (e.g., non-network cause) GTE will charge NEW PHONE for trouble isolation. NEW PHONE will have the ability to report trouble for its end users to appropriate trouble reporting centers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. NEW PHONE will be assigned a customer contact center when initial service agreements are made.
2.1.2 Repair calls to the SSCC for engineered services will be processed in essentially the same manner as those by the GTE Customer Care Center. GTE personnel will analyze the problem, provide the NEW PHONE representative with a commitment time while they are still on the line, and then place the trouble ticket in the dispatch queue.
2.1.3 GTE then will process all NEW PHONE trouble reports in the dispatch queue along with GTE trouble reports in the order they were filed (first in, first out), with priority given to out-of-service conditions. If, at any time, GTE would determine that a commitment time given to NEW PHONE becomes in jeopardy, GTE service representatives will contact NEW PHONE by telephone to advise of the jeopardy condition and provide a new commitment time.
2.1.4 Trouble reports in the dispatch queue will be transmitted electronically to GTE CZT service technicians who will repair the service problems and clear the trouble reports. For cleared NEW PHONE trouble reports, GTE service technicians will make a telephone call to NEW PHONE directly to clear the trouble ticket. GTE service technicians will make the confirmation call to the telephone number provided by NEW PHONE. If NEW PHONE is unable to process the call or places the GTE technician on hold, the call will be terminated. To avoid disconnect, NEW PHONE may develop an answering system, such as voice mail, to handle the confirmation calls expeditiously.
2.1.5 GTE will provide electronic interface access to operation support systems functions which provide the capability to initiate, status and close a repair trouble ticket. GTE will not provide to NEW PHONE real time testing capability on NEW PHONE end user services. GTE will not provide to NEW PHONE an interface for network surveillance (performance monitoring).
