The Purchaser expressly acknowledges and represents they have carefully reviewed the present T&Cs, and fully understand the risks, costs, and benefits associated with the acquisition of the Tokens as indicated in the present T&Cs.
The Purchaser undertakes that they have legal competence and capacity to accept these T&Cs through their purchase of the Tokens.
The Purchaser undertaking to acquire the Tokens must ensure that they understand and have significant experience in cryptography, blockchain systems, products, and services and that they fully understand the risks associated with the purchasing and/or holding the Tokens. The Purchaser and/or Holder also has the knowledge, expertise, and experience in financial matters to evaluate the risks of acquiring the Tokens, is aware of the risks inherent in acquiring and the method by which the assets of the Company are held and/or traded and can bear the risk of loss of its entire Token acquisition. The Purchaser is qualified and authorized to make such an acquisition decision and, to the extent deemed necessary, has consulted its own advisors and legal counsel regarding the acquisition of the Tokens.

Acknowledgment and Assumption of Risks
Development failure or abortion:
Acquiring and storing the Tokens involves various risks, in particular the risk that the Platform Operator may not be able to launch some operations and continue developing its platform or community. Therefore, and prior to acquiring the Tokens, the Purchaser should carefully consider the risks, costs, and benefits of acquiring the Tokens, and, if necessary, obtain independent advice in this regard. Any interested person who is not in the position to accept nor to understand the risks associated with the activity or any other risks as indicated in the T&Cs herein should not acquire the Tokens through intermediaries or otherwise.
Legal Risks:
There is a risk that in some jurisdictions the Tokens might be considered as a security, now or in the future. The Company does not give warranties nor guarantees that the Tokens are not a security in any and all jurisdictions. Each Purchaser, Holder and/or user of the Tokens shall bear their own legal or financial consequences of the Tokens being considered a security in their respective jurisdiction. The legal ability of the Company to provide the Tokens in some jurisdictions may be completely eliminated by future regulation or legal actions. In the event it results with a high degree of certainty that the Tokens are not legal in a given jurisdiction, the Company may resolve at its sole discretion to either (a) cease operations in that jurisdiction; or (b) adjust the Tokens in a way as to comply with such regulations, should that be possible and viable. It is Your obligation to check if the acquisition, holding and/or use of the Tokens is legal in Your jurisdiction. By accepting these T&Cs You expressly agree and warrant that You will not purchase, hold and/or use the Tokens should such purchase, holding and/or use not be legal in Your applicable jurisdiction.
Risk of blockchain malfunction:
It is not guaranteed that the source code used by the Company will be flaw-free. It may contain certain flaws, errors, defects, and bugs, which may disable some functionality for users, expose users’ information or otherwise negatively affect the Purchaser and/or Holder. Such flaws could compromise the usability and/or security of the Company and consequently adversely impact its value.
Risk of Source Code update:
The source code could be updated, amended, altered or modified from time to time by the developers and/or by the community. Nobody is able to foresee or guarantee the precise result of such update, amendment, alteration or modification. As a result, any update, amendment, alteration or modification could lead to an unexpected or unintended outcome that adversely affects the Tokens and/or the Company operations or market value.
Risks of Internet transmission:
You acknowledge that there are certain risks associated with utilizing Internet-based digital assets, products and websites including, but not limited to, the failure of hardware, software, and Internet connections. You acknowledge that the Company shall not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays You may experience when using its services, website, platforms or Tokens howsoever caused.
Cryptography risks:
You acknowledge that there are risks associated with cryptography, such as code cracking or technical advances such as the development of quantum computers, could present risks to all crypto-based products, including the Tokens. This could result in the theft, loss, disappearance, destruction or devaluation of the Tokens. To a reasonable extent, the Company will be prepared to take proactive or remedial steps to update its protocol in response to any advances in cryptography and to incorporate additional reasonable security measures where appropriate. Notwithstanding the previous, it is impossible to predict the future of cryptography or the future of security innovations to an extent that would permit the Company to accurately guide its development to take into account such unforeseeable changes in the domains of cryptography or security.
Forking:
The blockchain upon which the Tokens are issued is an open-source project supported by the community. The developers of the Company do not lead the development, marketing, operation, or otherwise of such blockchain. Anybody may develop a patch or upgrade the source code without prior authorization of anyone else. The acceptance of patches or upgrades by a significant, but not overwhelming, percentage of the users could result in a “fork” in such blockchain, and, consequently, the operation of two separate networks will remain separate until the forked blockchains are merged. The temporary or permanent existence of forked blockchains could adversely impact the operation and the market value of the Tokens and ultimately ruin the sustainability of the Company. While such a fork in the blockchain could possibly be resolved by community-led efforts to merge the forked blockchains, the success is not guaranteed and could take a long period of time to achieve.
Risk of unfavorable regulatory action:
Blockchain technologies have been the subject of scrutiny by various regulatory bodies around the world. The Tokens may be impacted by one or more regulatory inquiries or actions, including but not limited to restrictions on the use or possession of the Tokens, which could impede or limit their existence, permissibility of their use and possession, as well as their value.
Risk of theft and hacking:
Hackers or other groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with Your third-party wallet, the Website, the Platform or the availability of the Tokens in any number of ways, including without limitation denial of service attacks, Sybil attacks, spoofing, smurfing, malware attacks, or consensus-based attacks.
Risk of mining attacks:
The blockchain upon which the Tokens were launched may be susceptible to mining attacks, including but not limited to double-spend attacks, majority mining power attacks, “selfish-mining” attacks, and race condition attacks. Mining attacks, as described above, may also target other blockchain networks with which the Tokens interact. Any successful attacks present a risk to the Tokens.
Risk of loss of value and uninsured losses:
The value of the Tokens may fluctuate and You may suffer a loss in value of such acquired Tokens. In addition to the loss of value risk, the Tokens are entirely uninsured and are unlike bank accounts or accounts at some other financial institutions.
The Tokens are non-refundable:
The Company is not obliged to provide Token holders with a refund related to the Tokens for any reason, and Token holders acknowledge and agree that they will not receive money or other compensation in lieu of a refund. No promises of future performance or price are or will be made with respect to the Tokens, including without limitation no promise of inherent value, no promise of continuing payments, and no guarantee that the Tokens will hold any particular value. Therefore, the recovery of spent resources may be impossible or may be subject to foreign laws or regulations, which may not be the same as the laws in the jurisdiction of the Tokens.
Taxation risks:
The tax characterization of the Tokens and the usage of the Platform is uncertain. The Company intends to treat the Tokens neither as an equity interest nor as a debt interest in the Company for tax purposes. It is possible that the Company’s intended treatment of the Tokens may be challenged so that the tax consequences to the Purchaser and the Company relating to the Tokens could differ from those described above. You must seek Your own tax advice in connection with the purchase, holding and/or usage of the Tokens, which may result in adverse tax consequences to You, including withholding taxes, income taxes and tax reporting requirements.
Risk of Dissolution of the Company, its Associated Parties or the Platform Operator:
Start-up companies such as the Company and its Associated Parties involve a high degree of risk. Financial and operating risks confronting start-up companies are significant, and the Company is not immune to these. Start-up companies often experience unexpected problems in the areas of product development, marketing, financing and general management, among others, which frequently cannot be solved.
It is possible that, due to any number of reasons, including, but not limited to, an unfavorable fluctuation in the value of virtual and/or fiat currencies, a decrease in the utility of the Tokens due to negative adoption of the Platform, the failure of commercial relationships, or intellectual property ownership challenges, the Platform Operator may no longer be viable to operate and the Company or its Associated Party may be dissolved.
Competitors:
It is possible that alternative projects could be established that utilize the same or similar code and protocol underlying the Tokens and/or Platform and attempt to re-create similar facilities. The Platform Operator may be required to compete with these alternative networks, which could negatively impact the Tokens and/or the Platform.
Risk of insufficient information: The Company, or any other applicable seller, is neither able nor obliged, to keep You closely posted on every detail of the development of the Platform (including its progress and expected milestones no matter whether rescheduled or not) and therefore will not necessarily provide You with timely and full access to all the information relating to the Platform, the Tokens or the Company that may emerge from time to time. Due to the nature of the project, You accept that such insufficiency of information disclosure is inevitable and reasonable.
Unanticipated risks: Blockchain technologies are a new and untested technology and, in addition to the risks outlined in these T&Cs, there are also unforeseeable risks that may materialize as unanticipated. You acknowledge, agree, and warrant that You have been warned of the potential risks involved in purchasing holding, and/or using the Tokens, the Website, the Platform and any other relevant technologies mentioned herein. You acknowledge and agree that there may be other additional risks involved, which are not specified herein, and that You fully accept such risks.

The Company may rely conclusively upon and shall incur no liability in respect of any action taken upon any notice, consent, request, instructions or other instrument believed in good faith to be genuine, howsoever given.

Acknowledge and undertake that they shall provide the Company with information as the Company may deem necessary or appropriate in order to maintain compliance with applicable law including (i) compliance with the representations set out herein; and (ii) to address any actual inquiries or inquiries that the Company may (at its sole discretion) expect from regulatory authorities, courts or arbitral authorities in any jurisdiction; 27.

Shall not violate or attempt to violate the security of the Website, the Company’s products, any part of the Platform, and the Tokens, and that You will not hack into, interfere with, disrupt, disable, overburden, modify, publish, reverse engineer, participate in the transfer or sale, create derivative works, or otherwise impair the Company’s Website or products, the Platform and the Tokens.
You hereby acknowledge that the Company has entered into these T&Cs in reliance upon Your representations and warranties being true, accurate, complete and non-misleading. The Company does not, and does not purport to, make, and hereby disclaims, all representations, warranties, or undertaking to You in relation to the sale of the Tokens or otherwise. Prospective purchasers of the Tokens should carefully consider and evaluate all risks and uncertainties (including financial and legal risks and uncertainties) associated with the Token Sale, the Company, and any relevant Associated Party. The Company reserves the right to implement any and all necessary measures to monitor the Purchaser’s compliance with these T&Cs.
Limitation of liability
The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, to the fullest extent of the law, the disclaimer of liability contained herein applies to any and all damages or injury whatsoever caused by or related to (i) the use of, or inability to use the Tokens or; (ii) the Company, together with the Indemnified Parties, under any cause of action whatsoever of any kind in any jurisdiction, including, without limitation, actions for breach of warranty, breach of contract or tort, including negligence, and that the Company and the Indemnified Parties shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, loss of revenues, loss of goodwill, or loss of data, in any way whatsoever arising out of the use of, or inability to use, or purchase of, or inability to purchase Token, or arising out of any interaction with the Tokens associated smart contract implemented in relation to the Tokens. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company is not liable for the conduct of any third parties, including other purchasers of the Tokens, and that the risk of purchasing, holding, and/or using the Tokens rests entirely with the Purchaser. To the maximum extent permissible under applicable law, under no circumstances will the Company be liable to any Purchaser for more than the amount the Purchaser has paid to the Company for the purchase of the Tokens. The liability limitations and exclusions set out herein will apply to the fullest extent permitted by law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the limitations of this section may not apply all or in part to the Purchaser.
Anti-Money Laundering
The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company that: (i) they are not purchasing, holding and/or using the Tokens under any prohibition of any jurisdiction or by contravening any local or international law or regulation, including without limitation those laws and regulations of the United States (“Prohibited Person”); (ii) no person or entity that controls, is controlled by or under common control with, the Purchaser is a Prohibited Person; (iii) neither the Purchaser, nor any person having a direct or indirect beneficial interest in the Purchaser or the Tokens being acquired, is the subject of sanctions administered or enforced by any country or government (collectively, “Sanctions”) or is organized or resident in a country or territory that is the subject of countrywide or territory-wide Sanctions; and (iv) to the extent that the Purchaser has any beneficial owners, they have carried out thorough due diligence to establish the identities of those beneficial owners and based on that due diligence, the Purchaser reasonably believes that no beneficial owner is a Prohibited Person; they hold the evidence of those identities and status and will maintain such evidence for at least five (5) years from the date that the Purchaser ceases to hold any Tokens and they agree to make available that evidence and any additional evidence that the Company may require upon request. The Purchaser acknowledges to the Company that if any of the representations and warranties in the preceding sections cease to be true or if the Company no longer reasonably believes that it has satisfactory evidence as to their truth, despite any other agreement to the contrary, the Company may, in accordance with applicable regulations, be obligated to do one or more of the following: 1. Take certain actions relating to the Purchaser’s holding of the Tokens; 2. Report that action; and 3. Disclose the Purchaser’s identity to any relevant authorities.
If the Company is required to take any of the actions referred to herein, the Purchaser understands and agrees with the Company, that it has no claim against the Company or any of the Indemnified Parties for any damages as a result of any such actions. To the extent that the foregoing release endures for the benefit of any of the Indemnified Parties (whether existing or in the future), the Purchaser acknowledges, and by accepting this application the Company agrees, that the Company holds the benefit of release on trust for that person.
By agreeing to these T&Cs, the Purchaser consents to the disclosure by or on behalf of the Company of any information about the Purchaser to regulators and others upon request in connection with money laundering and similar matters, both in the British Virgin Islands and in other jurisdictions.
Claims
The Company, together with the Indemnified Parties, shall not be liable in any way or in any event in respect of any claim under these T&Cs if such claim was not made within the 6-month period commencing from the date that You first received any Tokens (the “Claim Period”). Any claim which has been made before the expiration of the Claim Period shall, if it has not been previously satisfied in full, settled, or withdrawn, be deemed to have been withdrawn and shall become fully barred and unenforceable on the expiry of the period of six (6) months commencing from the date on which such claim was made unless proceedings in respect thereof shall have been commenced against the Company and for this purpose proceedings shall not be deemed to have been commenced unless they shall have been issued and served upon the Company.
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in these T&Cs shall limit Your obligation (at law or otherwise) to mitigate Your loss in respect of any claim under these T&Cs, and You shall not be entitled to recover damages in respect of any claim (as the case may be) if, and to the extent that, You have already recovered damages in respect of the same fact or subject matter.
Future Migration of the Tokens
We reserve the right to migrate the Tokens (the “Pre-existing Tokens”) to another protocol and to generate replacement Tokens on the new protocol (the “Replacement Tokens”) in the future, should We or the Platform Operator determine, in our sole discretion, that doing so is necessary or useful to the operation of the Platform. Should we decide to migrate the Tokens, we may no longer provide support for the Pre-existing Tokens relating to the Platform or any other operational matters, except with respect to the migration process. If the Tokens are migrated to another protocol, the practical utility of Pre-existing Tokens will likely diminish rapidly once Replacement Tokens are created and in use by a significant portion of the Platform’s participants. You acknowledge and agree that for You to continue to participate in the Platform or obtain utility from the Tokens You may need to convert the Tokens You receive to Replacement Tokens in the future.
