Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to Digital Social Retail, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the offering and sale by the Company of a minimum of 1,000,000 and a maximum of 2,000,000 units of the Company (“Units”), plus up to an additional 300,000 Units in the event of the exercise of an over-subscription allowance, for a total of up to 2,300,000 Units, each Unit consisting of one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”), and one warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock (“Warrants”), which Units are the subject of an amendment or amendments to the Company’s Offering Statement on Form 1-A (No. 024-10711) (as amended, the “Offering Statement”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Regulation A, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

In connection with the opinion expressed herein, we have examined such documents, records and matters of law as we have deemed relevant or necessary for purposes of such opinion including, without limitation: (i) the Offering Statement and related offering circular; (ii) the certificate of incorporation, certificate of designations and bylaws of the Company, each as amended to date; (iii) the resolutions adopted by the board of directors of the Company or authorized committees thereof (either at meetings or by unanimous written consent) authorizing the issuance and sale of the Units, Common Stock and Warrants; and (iv) such other documents and records and matters of law as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion. In our examination of such documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies, the authenticity of the originals of such documents and the legal competence of all signatories to such documents.

 

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Units, Common Stock and Warrants, respectively, when paid for and issued in the manner described in the Offering Statement, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

The opinions expressed herein are limited to the laws of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the laws of the State of New York, as currently in effect, and no opinion is expressed with respect to any other laws or any effect that such other laws may have on the opinions expressed herein.
