Gentleman:


We have acted as counsel to Spindle, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 6, 2016 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the Company’s amendment No. 1 to its registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the registration of 3,949,074 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), that may be offered for sale from time to time by the selling stockholders named therein (the “Selling Stockholders”) that have been issued to the Selling Stockholders (the “Shares”). This opinion is delivered pursuant to the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act..


As your counsel in connection with this opinion, we have examined such corporate records, documents, and instruments of the Company and reviewed such questions of law as we have deemed necessary for the purpose of rendering the opinions set forth herein and we have examined the proceedings proposed to be taken by the Company relating to the issuance and sale by the Company of the Shares. We have also examined the Registration Statement as filed with the Commission in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.


We have examined such documents and considered such legal matters as we have deemed necessary and relevant as the basis for the opinion set forth below. With respect to such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as reproduced or certified copies, and the authenticity of the originals of those latter documents. As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have, to the extent deemed appropriate, relied upon certain representations of certain officers and employees of the Company.
