You acknowledge and agree and undertake that:
You are familiar with all related regulations in the specific jurisdiction in which You are based and that acquiring cryptographic Tokens (through purchase or otherwise) in that jurisdiction is not prohibited, restricted or subject to additional conditions of any kind;
You agree and acknowledge that no regulatory authority has examined or approved of the information set out in the FAQ or any other material in connection with the Token;
You will not Use the Token if such Use would constitute a public offering of the Token in any country or jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required;
You confirm that the distribution or dissemination of the FAQ, any part thereof or any copy thereof, or any Use of the Tokens by You, or Access of the Platform by You is not prohibited or restricted by the applicable laws, regulations, or rules in Your jurisdiction, and where any restrictions in relation to possession are applicable, You have observed and complied with all such restrictions at Your own expense and risk without liability to Us;
You will also ensure that no obligations are imposed on Us in any such jurisdiction as a result of any of the actions taken by You in Clause 1.1.4 above; and
We will have no responsibility for and You will obtain any consent, approval or permission required by You for, the acquisition, offer, sale or delivery by You of the Token under the laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction to which You are subject or in or from which You Use the Token or Access the Platform.
You acknowledge and agree that different jurisdictions take different approaches to the characterisation of non-fungible tokens such as the Tokens. Therefore, there may be rules and regulations that apply to Us that we currently cannot anticipate because of the Tokens being characterised a security token, a utility token, a payment token or a commodity or because of the Platform being considered as carrying on a regulated activity. Accordingly, you should be aware of the following jurisdiction-specific restrictions that may apply to you:
United States : You are not located or resident in the United States. In addition, the Tokens have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or any state securities laws in the United States and may not be offered or sold within the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws in the United States. Accordingly, the Tokens are being offered and sold outside the United States in “offshore transactions” as that term is defined in, and in reliance on, Regulation S of the U.S. Securities Act. The Tokens have not been recommended by any U.S. federal or state securities commission or regulatory authority. Furthermore, the foregoing authorities have not confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of the FAQ or any other materials relating to the Tokens.
People’s Republic of China : You are not:
a citizen or resident (tax or otherwise) of the People's Republic of China (“PRC");
a natural person residing in the PRC; or
any entity organized or incorporated under the laws of the PRC.
Singapore : You understand and acknowledge that users of the Platform are hereby notified that nothing in the Platform constitutes or shall be deemed to constitute:
an offer to provide, or an advertisement containing any offer to provide, to the public in Singapore or any section of the public in Singapore, any type of payment service in the Republic of Singapore or elsewhere;
the making of an offer or invitation, or an advertisement containing any offer or invitation, to the public in the Republic of Singapore or any section of the public in the Republic of Singapore, to enter into any agreement relating to the provision by any person of any type of payment service, whether in Singapore or elsewhere.
For the avoidance of doubt, reference to providing a payment service to persons in Republic of Singapore in the preceding sentence shall include, without limitation: (i) e-money or any digital payment token being available for purchase or other acquisition by persons in Republic of Singapore; (ii) e-money denominated in Singapore dollars being available for purchase or other acquisition; and (iii) the facilitation of the exchange of digital payment tokens for Singapore dollars.
You confirm that you understand and agree that documentation relating to the Tokens has not been and will not be registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
You confirm that you understand and agree that neither We nor the Platform have been or are proposed to be registered with the Monetary Authority of Singapore and/or licensed under the Singapore Payment Services Act.
You acknowledge and agree that:
You are not:
currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered or enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury ("OFAC'), the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, the United Kingdom or other relevant sanctions authority (collectively, "Sanctions"); nor
located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is the subject of Sanctions;
You are not listed in any list of sanctioned persons including those maintained under the Sanctions including the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons or the Foreign Sanctions Evaders List maintained by OFAC;
You are not directly or indirectly owned or controlled by any Person subject to Clauses 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 above; and
“You” in this Clause 2.1 includes, if You are not a natural person, You and any of Your subsidiaries or, to Your knowledge any director, officer, or employee of You or Your subsidiaries.
You:
represent and covenant that you will not use the proceeds of the sale of any Tokens and will not, directly or indirectly, use, lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any of Your subsidiaries, joint venture partners or other Person (A) for the purpose of funding or facilitating any activities or business of or with any Person or in any country that, at the time of such funding or facilitation, is the subject of Sanctions; or (B) in any other manner that will result in a violation of Sanctions by any Person (including any Person participating in the acquisition of Tokens as adviser or otherwise);
acknowledge and agree that none of the Use of the Tokens, the execution, delivery and performance of the Token Usage Agreement, the consummation of any other transaction contemplated under the Token Usage Agreement will result in a violation by You or Your subsidiary of any of the Sanctions; and
represent that your Use of the Tokens will not violate any law or regulation, including without limitation, any applicable export control laws.
You undertake that You are not acquiring the Tokens through the proceeds of any illegal activity, including money laundering and the financing of terrorism.
You confirm that:
You shall comply with all laws relating to anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism including all applicable statutes of all jurisdictions in which You are located, resident, organized or operate, and/or to which you may otherwise be subject and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the "Money Laundering Laws"); and/or
no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving You or any of Your Affiliates with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the best of Your knowledge (after due and careful enquiry), threatened.
An acquisition of the Tokens involves a high degree of risk. Users should carefully consider the following information about these risks before they decide to buy the Tokens. If any of the following risks actually occurs, it could have a material, adverse effect on the business, the Platform and/or the value of the Tokens.
We have described the risks and uncertainties that We believe are material, but these risks and uncertainties may not be the only ones the parties ultimately face. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those We are currently not aware of or deem immaterial, may also have a material, adverse effect on the business, the Platform and/or the value of the Tokens.
Blockchain Delay Risk : On most blockchains used for cryptocurrency transactions, timing of block production is determined by proof of work so block production can occur at random times. The respective blockchain may not include the User’s transaction at the time User expects and the payment for the Tokens may not reach the intended wallet address on the same day that the User sends the cryptocurrency.
Blockchain Congestion Risk : Most blockchains used for cryptocurrency transactions are prone to periodic congestion during which transactions can be delayed or lost. Individuals may also intentionally spam the network in an attempt to gain an advantage in purchasing Tokens. That may result in a situation where block producers may not include the User’s transaction when the User wants or the User’s transaction may not be included at all.
Risk of Software Weaknesses : The Token Electronic Contract concept, the underlying software application and software platform are still in an early development stage and unproven. There are no representations and warranties that the process for creating the Tokens will be uninterrupted or error-free. There is an inherent risk that the software could contain weaknesses, vulnerabilities or bugs causing, inter alia, the complete loss of the cryptocurrency and/or the Tokens.
Risk of New Technology : The Platform, the Tokens and all of the matters set forth in the FAQ are new and untested. User should not rely on the Platform, the Token Electronic Contract or the ability to receive the Tokens associated with the Platform in the future. Also, technology is changing rapidly, so the Platform and the Tokens may become outdated. The technology utilized in the Platform depends on public peer-to-peer networks that are not under Our control or influence and are subject to many risks and uncertainties. You are solely responsible for the safekeeping of the private key associated with the blockchain address associated with your use of the services Accessed through the Platform. We will not be able to restore or issue any refund in respect of any use of the Platform due to lost private keys.
Fork Handling : The blockchain networks accessed through the Platform may be subject to “forks.” Forks occur when some or all individuals or entities running the software clients for a particular blockchain adopt a new client or a new version of an existing client that: (a) changes the protocol rules in backwards-compatible or backwards-incompatible manner that affects which transactions can be added into later blocks, how later blocks are added to the blockchain, or other matters relating to the future operation of the protocol; or (b) reorganizes or changes past blocks to alter the history of the blockchain. Some forks are “contentious” and thus may result in two or more persistent alternative versions of the protocol or blockchain, either of which may be viewed as or claimed to be the legitimate or genuine continuation of the original. We may not be able to anticipate, control or influence the occurrence or outcome of forks, and do not assume any risk, liability, or obligation in connection therewith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, We do not assume any responsibility to notify you of pending, threatened, or completed forks. We will respond to any forks We determine in Our sole and absolute discretion, and We shall not have any duty or obligation or liability to you if such response (or lack of such response) acts to your detriment. You assume full responsibility to independently remain apprised of and informed about possible forks, and to manage your own interests in connection therewith.
Risks association with the Ethereum protocol : Because Tokens are based on the Ethereum blockchain, any malfunction, breakdown or abandonment of the Ethereum protocol may result in the loss of or inability to transfer Tokens. The Ethereum network is prone to periodic congestion during which transactions could be delayed or lost. Individuals may also intentionally spam the Ethereum network in an attempt to gain an advantage in purchasing cryptographic tokens. That may result in a situation where block producers may not include a user’s transaction at the time such user expects, or a user’s transaction may not be included at all. Moreover, advances in cryptography, or technical advances such as the development of quantum computing, could present risks by undermining or vitiating the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins the Ethereum protocol. Also, governmental and regulatory agencies could prohibit the use of current and/or future cryptographic protocols which could adversely impact the ability to transfer the Tokens, resulting in a significant loss of value of the Tokens.
Risk of Loss of Access to Wallet : The Tokens may be held by a User only a Token wallet that is capable of holding the Tokens. Accordingly, loss of any details required to obtain access to such wallet could result in an inability to access the User’s Tokens, access to the User’s Token balance and/or any initial balances in blockchains created by third parties. Your Tokens will be held in a crypto-wallet. Your crypto-wallet stores your private key and public keys. Public keys allow outside parties to transmit cryptocurrencies into your digital wallet. Private keys allow you to receive, hold, access and transfer Tokens. Accordingly, loss of requisite private key(s) associated with your wallet will result in your inability to access your Tokens, and they will be unrecoverable. Moreover, any third party that gains access to such private key(s), including by gaining access to login credentials of a hosted wallet service you use, may be able to misappropriate your Tokens. Any errors or malfunctions caused by or otherwise related to the wallet you choose to receive and store Tokens, including your own failure to properly maintain or use such wallet, may also result in the loss of your Tokens.
No Assurance of Token Security : While we believe our platform offers a high degree of security, there can be no assurance of this. The Tokens may be subject to expropriation and or/theft. Hackers or other malicious groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with the Token Electronic Contract or the Tokens in a variety of ways, including malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks, smurfing and spoofing. Furthermore, because the Platform rests on an open source software, there is the risk that the Token contracts may contain intentional or unintentional bugs or weaknesses which may adversely affect the Tokens or result in the loss of Tokens, or the loss of ability to access or control the Tokens. In the event of such a software bug or weakness, there may be no remedy and Users are not guaranteed any remedy, refund or compensation.
Attacks on Token Electronic Contract : The blockchain used for the Token Electronic Contract is susceptible to mining attacks, including double-spend attacks, majority mining power attacks, "selfish-mining" attacks, and race condition attacks. Any successful attacks present a risk to the Token Electronic Contract, expected proper execution and sequencing of the Token transactions, and expected proper execution and sequencing of contract computations.
Risks Relating to the Commercial success of Our Platform and the Tokens : The commercial success of the Platform is subject to a number of factors beyond Our control and/or the control of the Platform Provider, such as:
ability / inability to meet users' expectations regarding the functionality of the Platform and the Tokens;
interest from a limited number of users;
limited bandwidth to manage unexpected growth;
inability to continuously adapt the business model underlying the Token to meet market needs;
significant competition from new and existing players in this space who introduce similar platforms; and
any other new and untested technology that underlies the Platform in the future may not function as planned.
Risks Relating to the Development and Acceptance of Blockchain Networks : The further development and acceptance of blockchain networks, including the network on which the Token is based, are part of a new and rapidly changing industry, which is subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing or stopping of the development or acceptance of blockchain networks and blockchain-enabled digital representation of rights could have an adverse material effect on the Tokens. The growth of the blockchain industry in general, as well as the blockchain networks with which the Token will rely and interact, is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The factors affecting the further development of the cryptocurrency industry, as well as blockchain networks, include, without limitation:
worldwide growth in the adoption and use of Bitcoin, Ether and other blockchain technologies;
government and quasi-government regulation of Bitcoin, Ethereum and other blockchain assets and their use, or restrictions on or regulation of access to and operation of blockchain networks or similar systems;
the maintenance and development of the open-source software of the Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrency networks;
changes in consumer demographics and public tastes and preferences;
the availability and popularity of other forms or methods of buying and selling goods and services, or trading assets including new means of using fiat currencies or existing networks;
general economic conditions and the regulatory environment relating to cryptocurrencies;
a decline in the popularity or acceptance of the Bitcoin, Ethereum or other networks; and
the slowing or stopping of the development, general acceptance and adoption and usage of blockchain networks and blockchain assets may deter or delay the acceptance and adoption of the Tokens.
Risk Related to Reliance on Third Parties : Even if completed, the Platform will rely, in whole or in part, on third parties to adopt and implement it and to continue to develop, supply, and otherwise support it including through supporting many of the key technological functions of our Platform. There is no assurance or guarantee that those third parties will complete their work, properly carry out their obligations, or otherwise meet requirements, all of which might have a material adverse effect on the Platform.
Dependence of Platform on Senior Management Team : The success of the senior management team of the Platform Provider, is dependent to a large degree on the services of each member of that team. The loss or diminution in the services of any member of the senior management team or an inability to attract, retain and maintain additional senior management personnel, could have a material adverse effect on the Platform. Competition for personnel with relevant expertise is intense due to the small number of qualified individuals, and this situation may adversely impact the Platform Provider’s ability to retain existing senior management and/or attract additional qualified senior management personnel, which could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on the Platform.
Limited Historical Information : We and our Affiliates are start-up companies, and, therefore have limited prior business operations, financial historical information and other business information relating to the business operations or future prospects of the group.
Risk of Conflicts of Interest : We may be engaged in transactions with related parties, including companies controlled by Us or in which We own an interest, and other Affiliates, and may continue to do so in the future. Conflicts of interest may arise between any of Our Affiliates and Us, potentially resulting in the conclusion of transactions on terms not determined by market forces.
Risk Arising from Emerging Markets : We may operate in several emerging markets. Emerging markets are subject to greater risks than more developed markets, including significant legal, economic and political risks. Emerging economies are subject to rapid change and the User understands that the information set out in these Token Terms and the FAQ may become outdated relatively quickly.
Lack of Information : A holder of Tokens may not be able to obtain all information it would want regarding the Token on a timely basis or at all going forward. It is possible that the holder may not therefore be aware on a timely basis of material adverse changes that have occurred which could affect the Tokens.
Compliance Burden : Our business and industry is subject to compliance with a number of laws including those relating to data protection, security, privacy, and other government- and industry-specific requirements including those that could require Us to notify individuals of data security incidents involving certain types of personal data. Security compromises could harm Our reputation, erode user confidence in the effectiveness of Our security measures, adversely impact Our ability to attract new users, or cause existing users to stop using the Platform.
Uncertain Regulatory Framework : The regulatory status of cryptocurrency, digital assets, blockchain technology and decentralised exchanges is unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions. Advances in code cracking or technical advances such as the development of quantum computers may present risks to the services delivered through the Platform, which could result in the theft, loss or inaccessibility thereof. It is difficult to predict how or whether governmental authorities will regulate such technologies particularly as We believe the Platform offers several first-of-its-kind features. It is likewise difficult to predict how or whether any governmental authority may make changes to existing laws, regulations and/or rules that will affect cryptocurrency, digital assets, blockchain technology and its applications. Such changes could adversely impact the Tokens in various ways, including, for example, through a determination that the Tokens are regulated financial instruments that require registration. You should be aware that neither We nor the FAQ nor the Tokens are registered with any securities regulator in any jurisdiction including, in Hong Kong, the Securities and Futures Commission or the Hong Kong Monetary Authority or in Singapore, the Monetary Authority of Singapore. We and/or the Platform Provider (as applicable) may cease the distribution of the Tokens, the development of the Platform and/or cease operations in a jurisdiction in the event that governmental actions make it unlawful or commercially undesirable to continue to do so. It is pertinent to note that in September 2020, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) published a report regarding the main risks associated with virtual assets and with platforms offering services relating to such virtual assets. In particular, FATF pointed out that money laundering and other types of illicit activity financing are facilitated by virtual assets, which are more conducive to rapid cross-border transactions in decentralized markets that are not regulated by national authorities; that is, the online marketplaces where cryptocurrencies and decentralized assets are traded on blockchains. Among other things, FATF pointed to the anonymity of the parties to transactions as a factor that increases risk.
Failure to Obtain, Maintain or Renew Licenses and Permits. We may require a number of permits, licenses, authorisations, consents, decrees, waivers, approvals and filings (statutory, regulatory or otherwise) to lawfully operate the business in accordance with Applicable Law (the “Approvals”). There is a risk that requirements for Approvals for the issue of Tokens through the Platform or otherwise may be adopted in the future and may relate to Us. In this case, the business will depend on obtaining such required Approvals, the continuing validity of such Approvals and Our compliance with their terms. Regulatory authorities will exercise considerable discretion in the timing of Approval issuance and renewal and the monitoring of Our compliance with the terms of such Approvals. Requirements which may by imposed by these authorities and which may require Us and/or the Platform Provider to comply with numerous standards, recruit qualified personnel, maintain necessary technical equipment and quality control systems, monitor operations, maintain appropriate filings and, upon request, submit appropriate information to the licensing authorities, may be costly and time- consuming and may result in delays in the commencement or continuation of operation of the Platform. Further, private individuals and the public at large may possess rights to comment on and otherwise engage in the Approval process, including through intervention in courts and political pressure. Accordingly, the Approvals We may need may not be issued or renewed, or if issued or renewed, may not be issued or renewed in a timely fashion, or may involve requirements which restrict Our ability to conduct operations or to do so profitably.
Risk of Government Action : The industry in which We operate is new, and may be subject to heightened oversight and scrutiny, including investigations or enforcement actions. There can be no assurance that governmental authorities will not examine Our operations and/or pursue enforcement actions against Us. All of this may subject Us and/or the Platform Provider to judgments, settlements, fines or penalties, or cause Us to restructure Our operations and activities or to cease offering certain products or services, all of which could harm Our reputation or lead to higher operational costs, which may in turn have a material adverse effect on the Tokens and/or the development of the Platform.
Risk of Burdensomeness of Applicable Laws, Regulations, and Standards: Failure to comply with Applicable Law or the findings of government inspections, or increased governmental regulation of Our operations, could result in substantial additional compliance costs or various sanctions, which could materially adversely affect Our business and the Platform. Our operations and properties are subject to regulation by various government entities and agencies, in connection with ongoing compliance with Applicable Law. One example is a number of data protection, security, privacy and other government- and industry-specific requirements, including those that require companies to notify individuals of data security incidents involving certain types of personal data. Security compromises could harm our reputation, erode user confidence in the effectiveness of our security measures, negatively impact our ability to attract new users, or cause existing users to stop using our Platform. Regulatory authorities exercise considerable discretion in matters of enforcement and interpretation of Applicable Law. Respective authorities have the right to conduct periodic inspections of Our operations and properties throughout the year. Any such future inspections may conclude that We have violated laws, decrees or regulations, and We may be unable to refute such conclusions or remedy the violations. Our failure to comply with existing laws and regulations or the findings of government inspections may result in the imposition of fines or penalties or more severe sanctions or in requirements We cease certain business activities, or in criminal and administrative penalties applicable to Our officers. Any such decisions, requirements or sanctions, or any increase in governmental regulation of respective operations, could increase Our costs and have a material adverse effect on the business and the Platform.
Unlawful or Arbitrary Government Action: Governmental authorities may have a high degree of discretion and, at times, act selectively or arbitrarily, without hearing or prior notice, and sometimes in a manner that is contrary to law or influenced by political or commercial considerations. Moreover, governmental authorities also have the power in certain circumstances, by regulation or government act, to interfere with the performance of, nullify or terminate contracts. Unlawful, selective or arbitrary governmental actions have reportedly included the denial or withdrawal of licenses, sudden and unexpected tax audits, criminal prosecutions and civil actions. Federal and local government entities have also used common defects in matters surrounding a Token issue as pretexts for court claims and other demands to invalidate or to void any related transaction, often for political purposes. In this environment, Our competitors may receive preferential treatment from the government, potentially giving them a competitive advantage over Us.
Risks Relating to Taxation: The tax treatment of acquisition of Tokens (through purchase or otherwise) is uncertain and there may be tax consequences for acquirers. Each acquirer must seek its own tax advice in connection with the purchase of Tokens. The acquisition of Tokens may result in tax consequences to acquirers, including withholding taxes, income taxes and tax reporting requirements. Each acquirer should consult with and must rely upon the advice of its own professional tax advisors with respect to the tax treatment of the acquisition of Tokens.
Limited information; No independent investigation: There is no independent investigation done to ensure the uniqueness of any digital collectibles. We have not undertaken and will not undertake any investigations, searches or other actions to fully verify all relevant details in respect of the digital collectibles. The Platform will not evaluate the claims of a potential purchaser against Us, resolve disputes between Us and a purchaser or offer refunds on Tokens or digital collectibles purchased through the Platform.
No standardised valuation methodology for digital creations: Investors should note that unlike financial assets, there is no standardised valuation methodology for digital collectibles. Standards for valuation are ambiguous and little consensus exists about how to conduct a valuation of digital collectibles. While we expect that our Platform will enable genuine price discovery in relation to the value of a digital collectible, users should not that any price estimate there will depend on valuations, projections, forecasts and estimates that could be speculative in nature, and it can be expected that some or all of the underlying assumptions may differ or may prove substantially incorrect. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the price at which a digital collectible is sold on the Platform either as part of an initial sale or a resale will genuinely reflect its value.
Other Risks: The NFT market can be subject to significant volatile. It is also important to understand the distinction between the NFT and its underlying and that there may be no registrable IP in either. There can be no assurances regarding the digital storage of the underlying digital collectibles for the NFTs.
