but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in Amendment No. 1.

Statement filed May 10, 2023
Cover
Page
1. We note that your common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink market and that
your selling stockholders "may sell their securities at market prices or at any price in privately negotiated transactions."
Please note that the OTC Pink market is not an established public trading market into which a selling stockholder may offer and
sell shares at other than a fixed price. Accordingly, please revise your disclosure throughout to disclose a fixed price at which
the selling stockholders will offer and sell shares until your shares are listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on
the OTC Bulletin Board, OTCQX, or OTCQB, at which time they may be sold at prevailing market prices. Refer to Item 501(b)(3) of
Regulation S-K.
1 of 7
ANSWER: Please see amended language on the cover page to reflect a fixed price until such time as the Company is uplisted
to OTCQB at a minimum.
2. Please revise to disclose the aggregate voting power held by Murray Galbraith,
your Chief Executive Officer, taking into account both the common stock and series A convertible preferred stock held.
ANSWER: We have added
a disclosure on the prospectus cover page reflecting Mr. Galbraith’s aggregate voting control.
Prospectus Summary
Our Company, page 2
3. Please revise to prominently disclose that your business will rely entirely
on your License Agreement with Digital Cavalier Technology Services, Inc., and the nature of the relationship between Digital Cavalier
Technology Services and the company. In addition, clarify whether the License Agreement was negotiated at arm's length, and to
the extent it was not, clarify that the terms of the License Agreement may not be as favorable to you as if it had been negotiated
at arm’s length with an unaffiliated third party.
ANSWER: We
have added disclosures more prominently throughout the document regarding the reliance on the License Agreement and the
nature of the relationship between the two companies. We have also clarified the original negotiation of the License
Agreement as being arm’s length on page 2 of the Amended Registration Statement, and that subsequent amendments were
negotiated when the parties shared Murray Galbraith and Jim Romano in leadership roles; Mark Spoone remained and remains
unaffiliated with Digital Cavalier.
Risk Factors, page 5
4. We note that Article XII of your bylaws identifies the Eighth Judicial
District Court of Clark County, Nevada as the exclusive forum for certain litigation, including any “derivative action.”
Please disclose whether this provision applies to actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act and, if so, include
related risk factor disclosure. In this regard, we note that Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction
over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, and
Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce
any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. If the provision applies to Securities
Act claims, please also revise your disclosure to state that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws
and the rules and regulations thereunder. If this provision does not apply to actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange
Act, please ensure that the exclusive forum provision in your bylaws states this clearly, or tell us how you will inform investors
in future filings that the provision does not apply to any actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act.
ANSWER: The
Company advises the Staff that we have amended the bylaws and the exclusive forum provisions in the Amended Bylaws clarifies that
the designation of the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark
2 of 7
County,
Nevada as the exclusive forum will not apply in certain circumstances, including actions where another court has exclusive jurisdiction.
The Amended Bylaws state that,
“unless
the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County,
Nevada, (or if the Eighth Judicial District does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Nevada)
shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought in the name or right of the Corporation
or on its behalf, (b) any action asserting a claim for breach of any fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s shareholders, (c) any action arising or asserting a claim
arising pursuant to any provision of NRS Chapters 78 or 92A or any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws or
(d) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, except for, as to each of (a) through (d) above,
any claim (A) as to which such court determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of such court
(and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of such court within ten (10) days following such determination),
(B) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than such court, or (C) for which such court does not
have subject matter jurisdiction” (emphasis added).
Accordingly,
the provision does not designate the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada as the exclusive forum for any derivative
action arising under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) since there is exclusive
federal jurisdiction for such an action, and instead designates the federal district court for the District of Nevada in such instance.
Further,
in response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has updated the disclosure on page 4 of the Registration Statement to clarify
the exceptions to the exclusive forum designation in the Company’s Amended Bylaws. The Amended Bylaws have been attached
as Exhibit 3(ii).7.
5. We note the following language in Exhibit 10.2 “[f]urther, should
the contemplated merger of YOUNEEQ and AMHV not conclude by February 8th, 2023, then AMHV will have the right to convert all License
Fees paid to YOUNEEQ into equity in YOUNEEQ at CDN$0.10 per share at the first anniversary of this Agreement and Youneeq shall
forfeit and resign all Board seats.” Please provide the status of the merger and whether AMHV has converted the license fees
into equity and update the risk factors and MD&A sections accordingly. Please file the copy of the merger agreement as an exhibit.
ANSWER: The Company’s intent with
the Amendment and Extension Agreement dated February 6, 2023 was to modify the cancellation prior to the end of the term such that
an effective registration statement would make the License Agreement non-cancellable prior to the end of the term, and to extend
the term for an additional 24 months. Although not expressly stated, the Amendment and Extension Agreement referencing the registration
statement was in lieu of the previously contemplated merger. This clarification has been made on pages 4 and 33.

ability to grow our business depend on retaining and expanding our customer base..., page 7

We further note that you have reported zero revenues in the past two years. Please revise to clarify whether you have any existing

risk factor to more clearly indicate that we are at the very beginning of implementing the business plan, the Company has added
a disclosure about our current customers and the basic terms of the annual service agreement on page 8 and again on page 44.

7. The business description's focus on the software gives the impression
that the company developed the software. Please revise the description of business to explicitly state that Digital Cavalier Technologies
created and still owns the AI product and that YouneeqAI licenses the product. In addition, include a discussion regarding whether
Digital Cavalier Technologies or YouneeqAI is responsible for developing new functionalities and conducting ongoing maintenance
of the software. Finally discuss the implications of such ownership for your business both here and in the risk factor disclosures
and as appropriate elsewhere in the registration statement.
ANSWER: The description of the software
has been revised and the ownership of the AI by Digital Cavalier has been reinforced in the AI Based Technology Overview on Page
33, as well as in the Risk Factors on Page 6.
8. We note your disclosure that "YouneeqAI is a cookieless artificial
intelligence (AI) based ecommerce product customization and recommendation platform that automatically improves the customer experience
without the need for CRM data, complex journeys, or even cookies" and that YouneeqAI provides ecommerce personalization and
recommendations for Shopify and other platforms. Please revise to provide a more complete discussion regarding how YouneeqAI operates,
including the source of data used for personalizing recommendations without CRM data or cookies. In addition, clarify whether YouneeqAI
is reliant on any third-party API's or data providers such as Shopify or other ecommerce platforms.
ANSWER: The Company has further described
the operation of YouneeqAI and how the personalized recommendations are formed on page 33.
9. You disclose that once you secure financing, management believes
you will be able to quickly implement your sales and marketing plan and commence sales of the software-asa- service. You also state
that you intend to secure financing for your operations by the third quarter of 2023 and begin implementing your plans. Please
revise to explain the basis for your belief that you will be able to quickly implement your plan once financing is secured, including
but not limited to, the readiness of the SaaS offering for commercialization, whether Digital Cavalier Technologies has previously
and/or currently generates revenues from the SaaS offering, and whether you have any agreements with potential customers. Also,
given your current lack of funding commitments, explain the basis for your assertion that you intend to secure financing by the
third quarter of 2023. Include an explanation as to why sufficient financing has not been obtained since signing the Licensing
Agreement in February 2022 and what conditions or circumstances have changed or are expected to change such that you that you anticipate
being able to obtain such funding. Finally, please disclose that you currently have no commitments for financing, quantify the
amount of funding required to implement the budgeted plan of operations disclosed, and the impact on your plans if you do not obtain

10. You state that in order for you to continue as a going concern,
you "may" need to obtain additional debt or equity financing and that there can be no assurance that you will be able
to secure additional debt or equity financing. In light of your current cash balance and significant cash obligations, coupled
with the fact that you have no funding commitments and will not receive any proceeds from this offering, please revise to describe
management’s specific plans to obtain additional financing, including the amount of minimum funding necessary to meet your
operating needs for at least the next 12 months. In addition, discuss the timing and dollar amount of your current obligations
including the scheduled monthly payments as required by the License Agreement. Finally, quantify the amount of time that your current
cash balance can support operations. Refer to Item 303(b)(1) of Regulation S-K.
ANSWER: We have updated the disclosure
in response to your comment.

advises that it has corrected that statement on page 49 to reflect that it does NOT have any such policy in place.
