4. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF RISKS
Buyer has carefully reviewed, acknowledges, understands and assumes the following risks, as
well as all other risks associated with the Coins (including those not discussed herein), all of
which could render the Coins worthless or of little value:
1. Basis for Purchase. Purchasing Coins is at Buyer’s sole risk and that the Coins are
each provided, used and acquired on an “AS IS” and on an “AS AVAILABLE” basis
without representations, warranties, promises or guarantees whatsoever of any kind by
Company. Buyer must rely on its own examination and investigation thereof.
2. No Rights, Functionality or Features. Coins have no rights, uses, purpose,
attributes, functionalities or features, express or implied, outside the Project.
3. Project. Coins may not be usable on the Project and do not entitle Buyer to
anything with respect to the Project.
4. Purchase Price Risk. There are no guarantees as to the price of Coins purchased
by Buyer and no guarantees that the price per Coin determined by the market will be equal
to or higher. There is the possibility that the price per Coin may fall below the price paid by
initial buyers of Tokens during the initial distribution period.
5. Blockchain Delay Risk. On the Ethereum Blockchain Protocol, transactions may
not be recorded in the last-closed ledger until the transaction has been ratified through the
Ethereum consensus algorithm. Timing of ratification may occur at random times.
6. Ethereum Consensus Ledger. Transactions on the Ethereum Consensus Ledger
may be delayed or lost due to operational error or malicious attacks by third parties. Buyer
acknowledges and understands that the last-closed ledger may not include Buyer’s
transaction when Buyer wants or expects and that Buyer’s transaction may be excluded or
discarded entirely.
7. Ability to Transact or Resell. Buyer may be unable to sell or otherwise transact in
Coins at any time, or for the price Buyer paid due to (a) diminution in value of the Coins;
(b) lack of liquidity for the Coins; or (c) Company imposing restrictions on the
transferability of the Coins.
8. Coin Security. Coins may be subject to expropriation and or/theft. Hackers or
other malicious groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with the Coins in a variety
of ways, including, but not limited to, malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-
based attacks, Sybil attacks, smurfing and spoofing. Furthermore, because the Ethereum
Blockchain Protocol rests on open source software and Coins are based on open source
software, there is the risk that such software may contain intentional or unintentional bugs
or weaknesses which may negatively affect the Coins or result in the loss of Buyer’s Coins,
the loss of Buyer’s ability to access or control Buyer’s Coins or the loss of any other assets
in Buyer’s account. In the event of such a software bug or weakness, there may be no
remedy and holders of Coins are not guaranteed any remedy, refund or compensation.
9. Access to Private Keys. Coins purchased by Buyer may be held by Buyer in
Buyer’s digital wallet or vault, which requires a private key, or a combination of private
keys, for access. Accordingly, loss of requisite private key(s) associated with Buyer’s
digital wallet or vault storing Coins may result in loss of such Coins, access to Buyer’s Coin
balance or any balances in blockchains created by third parties. Moreover, any third party
that gains access to such private key(s), including by gaining access to login credentials of a
hosted wallet or vault service Buyer uses, may be able to misappropriate Buyer’s Coins.
Company is not responsible for any such losses.
10. New Technology. The Project and all of the matters set forth in the White Paper
are new and untested. The Project might not be capable of completion, implementation or
adoption. Even if the Project is completed, implemented and adopted, it might not function
as intended, and any tokens associated with a blockchain adopting the Project may not have
functionality that is desirable or valuable. Also, technology is changing rapidly, so the
Coins and the Project may become outdated.
11. Tax Consequences. The purchase and receipt of Coins may have tax consequences
for Buyer. Buyer is solely responsible for Buyer’s compliance with Buyer’s tax obligations.
12. Failure to Map a Public Key to Buyer’s Account. Failure of Buyer to map a public
key to Buyer’s account may result in third parties being unable to recognize Buyer’s Coin
balance on the Ethereum Consensus Ledger.
13. Changes to the Project. The Project is still under development and may undergo
significant changes over time. Company may make changes to such features and
specifications for any number of reasons, any of which may mean that the Project does not
meet Buyer’s expectations. As a result: (a) the Project may never be completed; (b) the
Project may not be completed as initially proposed by Company, and in a different or
modified form; (c) a blockchain utilizing or adopting features of the Project may ever be
launched; and (d) a blockchain may never be launched with or without changes to the
Project.
14. Project Completion. The development of the Project may be abandoned for a
number of reasons, including, but not limited to, lack of interest from the public, lack of
funding, lack of commercial success or prospects, or departure of key personnel.
15. Lack of Interest. Even if the Project is finished, launched and adopted, the
ongoing success of the Project relies on the interest and participation of third parties. There
can be no assurance or guarantee that there will be sufficient interest or participation in the
Project.
16. Uncertain Regulatory Framework. The regulatory status of cryptographic tokens,
digital assets and blockchain technology is unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions. It is
difficult to predict how or whether governmental authorities may regulate such technologies.
It is likewise difficult to predict how or whether any governmental authority may make
changes to existing laws, regulations or rules that may affect cryptographic tokens, digital
assets, blockchain technology and its applications. Such changes could negatively impact
Coins in various ways, including, for example, through a determination that Coins are
regulated financial instruments that require registration. Company may cease the
distribution of Coins, the development of the Project or cease operations in a jurisdiction in
the event that governmental actions make it unlawful or commercially undesirable to
continue to do so.
17. Risk of Government Action. The industry in which Company operates 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 the operations of Company or pursue enforcement actions against Company. Such
governmental activities may or may not be the result of targeting Company in particular.
All of this may subject Company to judgments, settlements, fines or penalties, or cause
Company to restructure its operations and activities or to cease offering certain products or
services, all of which could harm Company’s reputation or lead to higher operational costs,
which may in turn have a material adverse effect on the Coins or the development of the
Project.
5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION
1. Limitation of Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer
disclaims any right or cause of action against Company of any kind in any jurisdiction that
would give rise to any damages whatsoever, on the part of Company. Company shall not be
liable to Buyer for any type of damages, whether direct, indirect, incidental, special,
punitive, consequential or exemplary (including damages for lost profits, goodwill, use or
data), even if and notwithstanding the extent to which Company has been advised of the
possibility of such damages. Buyer agrees not to seek any refund, compensation or
reimbursement from the Company, regardless of the reason, and regardless of whether the
reason is identified in this Agreement. Company is not and shall not be responsible for or
liable for the market value of Coins, the transferability or liquidity of Coins or the
availability of any market for Coins through third parties or otherwise
2. Damages. Under no circumstances shall the aggregate joint liability of the
Company, whether in contract, warrant, tort or other theory, for damages to Buyer under this
Agreement exceed the amount received by Company from Buyer.
3. Release. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer releases
Company from responsibility, liability, claims, demands, or damages of every kind and
nature, known and unknown (including, but not limited to, claims of negligence), arising out
of or related to disputes between Buyer and the acts or omissions of third parties.
4. Force Majeure. Buyer understands and agrees that Company shall not be liable
and disclaims all liability to Buyer in connection with any force majeure event, including
acts of God, labor disputes or other industrial disturbances, electrical, telecommunications,
hardware, software or other utility failures, software or smart contract bugs or weaknesses,
earthquakes, storms, or other nature-related events, blockages, embargoes, riots, acts or
orders of government, acts of terrorism or war, technological change, changes in interest
rates or other monetary conditions, and, for the avoidance of doubt, changes to any
blockchain-related protocol.
5. Indemnification.
a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer shall indemnify, defend
and hold harmless and reimburse Company from and against any and all actions,
proceedings, claims, damages, demands and actions (including without limitation
fees and expenses of counsel), incurred by Company arising from or relating to: (i)
Buyer’s purchase or use of Coins; (ii) Buyer’s responsibilities or obligations under
this Agreement; (iii) Buyer’s breach of or violation of this Agreement; (iv) any
inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Buyer; (v) Buyer’s violation of any

negligent, unlawful or constitutes willful misconduct.
b) Company reserves the right to exercise sole control over the defense, at Buyer’s
expense, of any claim subject to indemnification under this Section 5.5. This
indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnities set forth in a
written agreement between Buyer and Company.

transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest
extent possible.

nor limit Company’s right to enforce such right or provision at a later time. All waivers by
Company must be unequivocal and in writing to be effective.
6. No Partnership; No Agency. Nothing in this Agreement and no action taken by
the Parties shall constitute, or be deemed to constitute, a partnership, association, joint
