The Service Terms and Policies will be made available on our website prior to the launch of the Token sale. We may revise and/or update the Service Terms and Policies from time to time at our sole and absolute discretion. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Service Terms and Policies, the Service Terms and Policies shall prevail.
In these Terms:
not having separate legal personality) and that person’s personal representatives, successors or permitted assigns;
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY AND NOTE THAT THE SECTION ON DISPUTE RESOLUTION. ARBITRATION CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE WHICH AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF SALE, DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE COMPANY’S TOKEN SALE.
If you have any questions regarding these Terms, please contact us by email at [email protected] You and the Company hereby agree as follows:
The intended purpose of the Tokens is to facilitate the provision and receipt of services (collectively, the “Services”) which Services are more particularly set out in the Token Documents, the final form of which will be published and updated by the Company from time to time and which you will be able to find on mingoapps.com. You hereby agree that you have read the Mingo Token Documents that can be found on the following link mingoapps.com and have understood its content. You hereby also confirm that you have taken independent legal advice before accepting these Terms. The Services will be provided through an online software platform (the “Platform”) that is currently at an advanced stage but is still under development by the Company or an affiliate thereof. More specifically, Tokens are intended to facilitate the provision of the Services from the Company or an affiliate thereof, to the users of the Platform and will constitute proof of prepayment for the Services.
The purchase, ownership, receipt, transmission or possession of Tokens carries no rights, express or implied, other than the right to use Tokens as a means to enable usage of and interaction within the Platform. The Terms shall not and cannot be considered as an invitation to enter into an investment or purchase any security or financial instrument. The Terms do not constitute or relate in any way, nor should they be considered, as an offering of securities or financial instruments in any jurisdiction. The Terms do not include or contain any information or indication that might be considered as a recommendation or that might be used to base any investment decision. Tokens are utility tokens and are not intended to be used as an investment. Further, you must note that Tokens do not represent or confer any ownership right or stake, share, equity or security or equivalent rights, or any right to receive future revenue shares or voting rights or intellectual property rights in the Company or any affiliate thereof. Acquiring Tokens shall not grant any right or influence over the Company’s (or any affiliate thereof) organisation and governance to you, other than rights relating to the potential future provision and receipt of Services, subject to the limitations and conditions contained in these Terms. The Tokens are not intended to be a representation of money (including electronic money), security, commodity, financial instrument, bond, debt instrument or any other kind of financial instrument or investment. Protections offered by the applicable law in relation to the purchase and sale of the aforementioned financial instruments and/or investments do not apply to the purchase and sale of Tokens and neither these Terms nor the Token Documents constitute a prospectus or offering document and are not an offer to sell, nor the solicitation of an offer to buy any investment or financial instrument in any jurisdiction. Tokens should not be acquired in any case or circumstance for speculative or investment purposes with the expectation of making a profit on immediate resale or otherwise.
The Company, or an affiliate thereof, will use reasonable endeavours to launch its operations and develop the Platform. Any person agreeing, covenanting or undertaking to acquire Tokens acknowledges and understands that the Company, or any affiliate thereof, does not provide any guarantee that it will establish an operative Platform and therefore it cannot guarantee that the Tokens can be used to purchase or access goods or Services on the Platform. You acknowledge and understand therefore that the Company, or any affiliate thereof, assumes no liability or responsibility whatsoever or howsoever arising for any loss or damage that would result from or relate to the incapacity to use Tokens.
Tokens do not constitute the provision of any goods and/or Services as at the date of these Terms.
Your purchase of Tokens from us is final, and there are no refunds or cancellations except as may be required by applicable law or regulation, if any. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel Token purchase requests at any time in our sole and absolute discretion. In such an event the consideration paid by you shall be rejected or refunded.
At any time prior to satisfaction of the Completion Condition, the Company may either temporarily suspend or permanently abort the Token sale. During any period of suspension or in the event that the Token sale is aborted, Tokens will not be available for purchase. Any funds or form of cryptocurrency sent by you to the Company for the purposes of acquiring Tokens shall be returned to you. Please note that the Company may use all or part of your payment prior to the temporary suspension or permanent termination of the Token Sale and therefore only a portion of your payment may be returned to you.
No title (legal or beneficial) or any ownership or other rights title and/or interests of any nature whatsoever or howsoever arising (including those capable of being imposed by way of implied, resulting, constructive or other trust) relating to any Tokens shall be transferred to or conferred on you until the moment that the Tokens you have purchased under these Terms are recorded as credited in your cryptocurrency wallet (the “Transfer Event”). Risk to the Tokens shall pass to you on the Transfer Event.
Important information about the procedures and material specifications of the Company’s Token sale is provided on the Company’s website mingoapps.com including, but not limited to, details regarding the timing and pricing of the Mingo Token sale and the amount of Tokens we will sell. By purchasing Tokens, you acknowledge and accept that you have read, understood and have no objection to these procedures and material specifications.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PURCHASING TOKENS, HOLDING TOKENS, AND USING TOKENS FOR PROVIDING OR RECEIVING SERVICES. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DISCLOSED AND EXPLAINED HEREAFTER BEFORE DECIDING TO PURCHASE THE TOKENS. THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS COULD RESULT IN YOU LOSING ALL OR PART OF YOUR CONSIDERATION. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THESE RISKS, PLEASE CONTACT US AT [email protected]. BY PURCHASING TOKENS, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE, ACCEPT AND ASSUME THESE RISKS.
Risks Relating to Purchase, Sale and Use of Tokens
Important Note: As set out in these Terms, the Tokens are not being structured or sold as securities or any other form of investment product. Accordingly, none of the information presented in this section is intended to form the basis for any investment decision, and no specific recommendations are made or intended. The Company expressly disclaims any and all responsibility for any direct or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever arising directly or indirectly from: (i) reliance on any information contained in this section, (ii) any error, omission or inaccuracy in any such information or (iii) any action resulting from such information.
By purchasing, holding and using Tokens, you expressly acknowledge and assume the following risks:
1. Risk of Losing Access to Tokens Due to Loss of Private Key(s)
A private key, or a combination of private keys, is necessary to control and dispose of Tokens stored in your digital wallet or vault. Accordingly, loss of requisite private key(s) associated with your digital wallet or vault storing Tokens will result in loss of such Tokens. 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. The Company is not responsible for any such losses.
Because Tokens and the Platform are based on the Hedera protocol, any malfunction, breakdown or abandonment of the Hedera protocol may have a material adverse effect on the Platform or Tokens. Moreover, advances in cryptography, or technical advances such as the development of quantum computing, could present risks to the Tokens and the Platform by rendering ineffective the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins the Hedera protocol. Upgrades to the Platform amer it launches, a hard fork in the Platform or a change in how transactions are confirmed on the Platform may have unintended adverse effects on Tokens.
As with other decentralised cryptographic tokens based on the Hedera protocol, the Tokens are susceptible to attacks by miners in the course of validating Token transactions on the Hedera blockchain, including, but not limited to, double-spend attacks, majority mining power attacks, and selfish-mining attacks. Any successful attacks present a risk to the Platform and the Tokens, including, but not limited to, accurate execution and recording of transactions involving Tokens.
Tokens may be subject to expropriation and/or them. Hackers or other malicious groups or organisations may attempt to interfere with the Platform or the Tokens 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 Platform is based on open-source somware, there is a risk that a third party or a member of the Company team may intentionally or unintentionally introduce weaknesses into the core infrastructure of the Platform, which could negatively affect the Platform and the Tokens or result in the loss of your Tokens or the loss of your ability to access or control your Tokens.
Unlike bank accounts or accounts at some other financial institutions, Tokens are uninsured unless you specifically obtain private insurance to insure them. Thus, in the event of loss or loss of utility value, there is no public insurer or private insurance arranged by us, to offer recourse to you.
The regulatory status of the Tokens and distributed ledger technology is unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions. It is difficult to predict how or whether regulatory agencies may apply existing regulation with respect to such technology and its applications, including the Platform and the Tokens. It is likewise difficult to predict how or whether legislatures or regulatory agencies may implement changes to law and regulation affecting distributed ledger technology and its applications, including the Platform and the Tokens. Regulatory actions could negatively impact the Platform and the Tokens in various ways, including, for purposes of illustration only, through a determination that Tokens are a regulated financial instrument that require registration or licensing. The Company may cease operations in a jurisdiction in the event that regulatory actions, or changes to law or regulation, make it illegal to operate in such jurisdiction, or commercially undesirable to obtain the necessary regulatory approval(s) to operate in such jurisdiction.
The Platform will operate in a new and developing legal environment. There is no established body of law or court decisions concerning blockchain and smart contracts, and the law regarding token sales and cryptocurrencies is developing. As a result, it is possible that there could be legal disputes over the interpretation of smart contracts used in connection with the Platform, thus undermining the functionality of the Platform and Tokens. To the extent licenses or other authorisations are required in one or more jurisdictions in which the Company operates or will operate, there is no guarantee that the Company and/or its Affiliates will be granted such licenses or authorisations. The Company and/or its Affiliates may need to change the business model to comply with these licensing and/or registration requirements (or any other legal or regulatory requirements) in order to avoid violating applicable laws or regulations or because of the cost of such compliance. Uncertainty in how the legal and regulatory environment will develop could negatively impact the Company and/or its Affiliates.
The cryptocurrency market 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 enact regulations or pursue enforcement actions against the Company, which may result in curtailment of, or inability to operate, the Platform as intended, or judgments, settlements, fines or penalties against the Company. In addition, non-governmental parties may bring private legal actions against the Company, either individually or as a class, which may result in curtailment of, or inability to operate, the Platform as intended, or judgments, settlements, fines or penalties against the Company.
The tax characterization of Tokens is uncertain. You must seek your own tax advice in connection with purchasing, holding and utilizing Tokens, which may result in adverse tax consequences to you, including, without limitation, withholding taxes, transfer taxes, value added taxes, income taxes and similar taxes, levies, duties or other charges and tax reporting requirements. It is also possible that the income of the Company would be subject to significant amounts of income and/or withholding taxes. The uncertainty in the tax treatment of Tokens and transactions in Tokens may expose subscribers, prospective purchasers and the Company alike to unforeseen future tax consequences associated with the purchase, ownership, sale or other use of Tokens.
Many jurisdictions impose strict controls on the cross-border flow of capital. Holders of Tokens may be subject to these regulations.
In the event that licenses, registrations or other authorisations are required under applicable CFT and/or AML regulations to operate the Platform, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to successfully obtain such licenses, registrations or authorisations. In addition, any illicit use of Tokens by bad actors could breach such regulations and seriously impact the global reputation of the Platform. In such an event, it is conceivable that this could trigger scrutiny by CFT and AML regulators and potentially cause significant disruption to the distribution and circulation of Tokens.
It is possible that alternative networks could be established in an attempt to facilitate services that are materially similar to the Services. The Platform may compete with these alternative networks, which could negatively impact the Platform and Tokens.
It is possible that the Platform will not be used by a large number of individuals, companies and other entities or that there will be limited public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems (such as the Platform) more generally or distributed applications to be used on the Platform. Such lack of use or interest could negatively impact the development of the Platform and therefore the potential utility of Tokens.
The Platform is still under development and may undergo significant changes over time. The Platform’s development will require significant capital, the expertise of the Company’s management and substantial time and effort by skilled developers and other parties. The Company may not retain the services of developers with the technical skills and expertise needed to successfully develop the Platform and progress it to a successful launch. In addition, even if the Platform is successfully developed and launched, there can be no assurance that the Platform will function as intended or that it will be able to sustain long-term operation of Tokens or other large scale D-apps or cryptocurrencies. Although we intend for the Tokens and Platform to follow the specifications set forth in the Token Documents, and will take commercially reasonable steps toward those ends (subject to internal business description), we may have to make changes to the specifications of the Tokens or Platform for any number of legitimate reasons. This could create the risk that the Tokens or Platform, as further developed and maintained, may not meet your expectations at the time of purchase. Furthermore, despite our good faith efforts to develop and maintain the Platform, it is still possible that the Platform will experience malfunctions or otherwise fail to be adequately developed or maintained, which may negatively impact the Platform and Tokens.
The Company plans to incorporate various technology solutions into the Platform. Some or all of these technology solutions may be new and/or relatively untested. There is significant risk to building and implementing such new technologies that may have never been used, or that are being used in different ways. There is no guarantee that such technologies will operate as intended or as described in the Token Documents.
There can be no assurance that the technology being proposed to underpin the Platform will not be supplanted by competing protocols that improve upon, or fully replace, the Platform’s technology. It is not known whether the Platform will become the predominant protocol adopted globally by the industry. If the Platform is surpassed or superseded, Token usage and adoption may decline. The Platform’s technology may be available as open-source, meaning that anyone can copy and disseminate the Platform source code either in the same form or with modifications as a “fork.”
The Company does not currently hold any issued patents and, thus, would not be entitled to exclude or prevent other entities from replicating their technology, methods and processes. While the Company enters into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with its developers, no assurance can be given that these agreements will be effective in controlling access to the Company’s proprietary information and trade secrets. The confidentiality agreements on which the Company relies to protect certain technologies may be breached, may not be adequate to protect its confidential information, trade secrets and proprietary technologies and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of its confidential information, trade secrets or proprietary technology. Further, these agreements do not prevent the Company’s competitors or others from independently developing technology that is substantially equivalent or superior to their technology. In addition, others may independently discover the Company’s trade secrets and confidential information, and in such cases, the Company likely would not be able to assert any trade secret rights against such parties.
Although the Company does not believe that the technology, processes and methods relating to the Platform have been patented by any third party, it is possible that patents have been issued to third parties that cover all or a portion of the Platform. Patent holders or other intellectual property owners may assert that the Platform or Company’s methods or practices infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate their intellectual property or other proprietary rights. Any such claims, regardless of merit, could result in substantial expenses, divert the attention of management or materially disrupt the operation of the Platform, including through awarded injunctive relief.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from selling Tokens to fund the maintenance and development of the Platform. The proceeds of the sale of Tokens will be denominated in USDC, Ether, Bitcoin and/or fiat and may be converted into other cryptographic and fiat currencies. In addition, some private-sales of the Tokens may also be denominated in fiat currencies. If the value of Hedera or other currencies fluctuates unfavourably during or amer the Sale Period, the Company may not be able to fund the maintenance and/or the development of the Platform in the manner that is intended.
The prices of cryptocurrencies have historically been subject to dramatic fluctuations and are highly volatile, and the market price of Tokens may also be highly volatile. Several factors may influence the market price of Tokens, including, but not limited to:
A decrease in the price of a single cryptocurrency may cause volatility in the entire cryptocurrency industry and may affect other cryptocurrencies, including Tokens. For example, security breach that affects investor or user confidence in Bitcoin or Ethereum may affect the industry as a whole and may also cause the price of Tokens and other cryptocurrencies to fluctuate.
The Company does not have any fiduciary or other obligation to use the funds generated by the token sale for the benefit of the purchasers.
The growth of the blockchain industry in general, as well as the blockchain networks with which the Platform and the Tokens will rely and interact, is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The factors affecting the further development of the blockchain industry, as well as blockchain networks, include, without limitation:
It is possible that, due to any number of reasons, including, but not limited to, an unfavourable fluctuation in the value of Hedera (or other cryptographic and fiat currencies), decrease in the Tokens’ utility due to negative adoption of the Platform, the failure of commercial relationships, or intellectual property ownership challenges, the Platform may no longer be viable to operate and the Company may dissolve.
Because Tokens confer no governance rights of any kind with respect to the Company or its corporate affiliates, token holders will have no control or influence on decisions involving the Company.
As the Company, or its Affiliates provide a decentralised cloud storage service to individual and institutional clients, including users and applications, the Services are susceptible to a number of risks related to the storage of data in the cloud. The Services may involve the storage of large amounts of sensitive and/or proprietary
information, which may be compromised in the event of a cyber-attack or other malicious activity. Similarly, the Services may be interrupted and files may become temporarily unavailable in the event of such an attack or malicious activity. Because users can use a variety of hardware and somware that may interface with the Platform, there is the risk that the Services may become unavailable or interrupted based on a failure of interoperability or an inability to integrate these third-party systems and devices that the Company does not control with the Company’s Services. The risk that the Services may face increasing interruptions and the Platform may face additional security vulnerabilities could adversely affect the Platform and therefore the future utility of any Tokens that you hold.
Cryptographic tokens such as the Tokens are a new and untested technology. In addition to the risks included in these Terms, there are other risks associated with your purchase, holding and use of Tokens, including those that the Company cannot anticipate. Such risks may further materialize as unanticipated variations or combinations of the risks discussed in this section.
You are responsible for implementing all reasonable and appropriate measures for securing the wallet, vault or other storage mechanism you use to receive and hold Tokens that you purchase from the Company, including any requisite private key(s) or other credentials necessary to access such storage mechanism(s). If your private key(s) or other access credentials are lost, you may lose access to your Tokens. The Company shall not be responsible for any security measures relating to your receipt, possession, storage, transfer or potential future use of Tokens nor is the Company under any obligation to recover any Tokens and the Company hereby excludes (to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law) any and all liability for any security breaches or other acts or omissions which result in your loss of (including your loss of access to) Tokens.
The Company may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, that it needs to undertake due diligence on certain prospective purchasers of Tokens. As part of the Company’s due diligence process it may request that you send us certain information about you. You agree to provide the Company with such information promptly upon request, and you acknowledge and accept that the Company may refuse to sell Tokens to you until you provide such requested information in a form that is satisfactory to the Company.
The purchase price that you pay for Tokens is exclusive of all applicable taxes. You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your purchase of Tokens, including, but not limited to: sales, use, value added, and any other taxes that may be applicable. It is also your sole responsibility to withhold, collect, report, pay, settle and/or remit the correct taxes to the appropriate tax authorities in such jurisdiction where you may be liable to pay tax. The Company is not responsible for withholding, collecting, reporting, paying, settling and/or remitting any sales, use, value added, or any other tax arising from your purchase of Tokens.
By purchasing Tokens, you represent, warrant and irrevocably undertake to the Company that:
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you will fully and effectively indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its Affiliates from and against any and all claims, judgements, demands, actions, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including taxes as well as reasonable professional and legal fees) that arise from or relate to: (i) your purchase or use of Tokens; (ii) your responsibilities or obligations under these Terms; (iii) your violation of these Terms; or (iv) your violation of any rights of any other person or entity.
The Company reserves the right to exercise sole control over the defence, at your expense, of any claim subject to this indemnity. This indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnities set forth in a written agreement between you and the Company.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TO THE EXTENT THAT THIS DISCLAIMER APPLIES TO YOU AND EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SPECIFIED IN WRITING BY THE COMPANY, (A) THE TOKENS ARE SOLD ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND MADE BY THE COMPANY AND THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES AS TO THE TOKENS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT; (B) THE COMPANY DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE TOKENS ARE RELIABLE, CURRENT OR ERROR-FREE, MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT DEFECTS IN THE TOKENS WILL BE CORRECTED; AND (C) THE COMPANY CANNOT AND DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE TOKENS OR THE DELIVERY MECHANISM FOR TOKENS ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
THE COMPANY NOR ANY OF ITS RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES OR AFFILIATES, SHALL BE LIABLE UNDER THESE TERMS FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT LOSS, LOSS OF PROFIT OR REVENUE, LOSS OF GOODWILL OR SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR ENHANCED DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THESE TERMS.
THE LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS AND/OR THE TOKENS, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF OR AS A RESULT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY THE PURCHASER FOR THE TOKENS.
THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH HEREIN WILL NOT LIMIT OR EXCLUDE LIABILITY FOR THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD OR INTENTIONAL, WILLFUL OR GROSS MISCONDUCT OF COMPANY.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ALL OF YOUR RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ARE CONTAINED OR REFERRED TO IN THESE TERMS, AND YOU SHALL NOT HAVE ANY OTHER RIGHT OR REMEDY, INCLUDING A CLAIM FOR INNOCENT OR NEGLIGENT MISREPRESENTATION OR NEGLIGENT MISSTATEMENT.
EVERY TERM OR CONDITION IMPLIED BY LAW IN ANY JURISDICTION IN RELATION TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THESE TERMS SHALL BE EXCLUDED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT POSSIBLE, AND TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO EXCLUDE ANY SUCH TERM OR CONDITION, YOU IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY IN RESPECT OF IT.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you release the Company and its Affiliates from all and any responsibility, liability, claims, demands and/or damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown (including, but not limited to, claims of negligence), arising out of or related to disputes between users and the acts or omissions of third parties. You expressly waive any rights you may have under any statute or common law principles that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favour at the time of agreeing to this release.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT CONTAINS CERTAIN PROVISIONS, SUCH AS A BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER, WHICH AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. THIS SECTION REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH COMPANY AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.

in each case by reason of or in connection with the bringing or commencement of such action or pursuit of such claim by you.
RISKS RELATING TO PARTICIPATION IN THE TOKEN GENERATION EVENT
Any future sale or issuance of the Tokens would increase the supply of Tokens in the market and this may result in a downward price pressure on the Token. The sale or distribution of a significant number of Tokens outside of the Token Generation Event (including but not limited to issuance of Tokens to persons other than purchasers for purposes of community initiatives, business development, academic research, education and market expansion and issuance of Tokens as a reward to users of the Company’s business platform that is yet to be developed or otherwise), or the perception that such further sales or issuance may occur, could adversely affect the trading price of the Tokens.
Negative publicity involving the Company, the Platform that is yet to be developed, the Tokens or any of the key personnel of the Company and/or regulation of distributed ledger technologies, cryptocurrencies and/or crowdsales of tokens in any jurisdiction, may materially and adversely affect the market perception or market price of the Tokens, whether or not it is justified.
There is no assurance that there will be sufficient engagement in the Platform that is yet to be developed such that you will receive any rewards anticipated to be distributed to active users of the Platform. Further, even in the event there is substantial engagement and interactions among the users of the Platform that is yet to be developed, there is no assurance you personally will receive any part of the rewards. This is because the ability of the Platform to pay any reward to you will depend on the future results of operations and the future business and financial condition of the Platform, and there is no assurance of the future results of operations and the future business and financial condition of the Platform.
The value of, and demand for, the Tokens hinges heavily on the performance of the Company’s Token Generation Event and Platform that is yet to be developed and the continuous active engagement of its users and success of its contemplated business lines. There is no assurance that the Company’s Token Generation Event will be successful or that the Platform that is yet to be developed will gain or continue to gain traction. While the Company has made every effort to provide a realistic estimate, there is also no assurance that the cryptocurrencies raised in the Token Generation Event will be sufficient for the development of the Platform. For the foregoing or any other reason, the development of the Platform and launch of the anticipated Token functionality may not be completed and there is no assurance that it will be launched at all. As such, distributed Tokens may hold little or no worth or value and this would impact any trading price and/or use of the Tokens.
The prices of cryptographic tokens in general tend to be relatively volatile, and can fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. The demand for, and the corresponding market price of, the Tokens may fluctuate significantly and rapidly in response to, among others, the following factors, some of which are beyond the control of the Company:
The Company will make every effort to ensure that the funds received for the Token Generation Event will be securely held. Further, the Company may make every effort to ensure that the funds received by it from the Token Generation Event will be securely held through the implementation of security measures. Notwithstanding such security measures, there is no assurance that there will be no them of the cryptocurrencies as a result of hacks, sophisticated cyber-attacks, distributed denials of service or errors, vulnerabilities or defects on the Token Generation Event website, in the smart contract(s) on which the Token Generation Event relies, on the Hedera blockchain or any other blockchain, or otherwise. Such events may include, for example, flaws in programming or source code leading to exploitation or abuse thereof. In such event, even if the Token Generation Event is completed, the Company may not be able to receive the cryptocurrencies raised and the Company may not be able to use such funds for the development of the Platform. In such case, the launch of the Platform might be temporarily or permanently curtailed. As such, distributed Tokens may hold little worth or value and this would impact their trading price.
RISKS RELATING TO THE COMPANY
Any events or circumstances which adversely affect the Company or any of its Affiliates may have a corresponding adverse effect on the Platform that is yet to be developed, including but not limited to the development, structuring and launch of the Platform. Such adverse effects would correspondingly have an impact on the utility, liquidity, and the trading price of the Tokens.
The financial technology and cryptocurrency industries in which the Company competes have grown rapidly over the past few years and continue to evolve in response to new technological advances, changing business models, shiming regulations and other factors. As a result of this constantly changing environment, the Company may face operational difficulties in adjusting to the changes, and the sustainability of the Platform will depend on the ability of the Company or its Affiliates to manage its operations, ensure that it hires qualified and competent employees, and provides proper training for its personnel. As the Platform evolves, the Company and/or its Affiliates must also expand and adapt its operational infrastructure. The Platform will in part rely on its blockchain-based software systems, cryptocurrency wallets or other related token storage mechanisms, blockchain technology and smart contract technology. All of these systems, tools, and skill sets represent complex, costly, and rapidly changing technical infrastructure. In order to demonstrate continued ability to effectively manage technical support infrastructure for the Platform that is yet to be developed and the future functionality of the Tokens, the Company and/or its Affiliates will need to continue to upgrade and improve its data systems and other operational systems, procedures, and controls. These upgrades and improvements will require a dedication of resources and are likely to be complex and increasingly rely on hosted computer services from third parties that the Company and/or its Affiliates do not or will not control. If the Company and/or its Affiliates are unable to adapt their systems and organisation in a timely, efficient, and cost-effective manner to accommodate changing circumstances, its business, financial condition and/or results of operations may be adversely affected. If the third parties whom the Company and/or its Affiliates rely on are subject to a security breach or otherwise suffer disruptions that impact the services the Company and/or its Affiliates use, the integrity and availability of their internal information could be compromised, which may consequently cause the loss of confidential or proprietary information and/or economic loss. The loss of financial, labour or other resources, and any other adverse effect on the Platform, financial condition and/or operations, would have a direct adverse effect on the ability of the Company and/or its Affiliates to develop maintain or operate the Platform and/or to develop, structure and/or license the anticipated Token functionality. Any adverse effects affecting the Company business or technology are likely to also adversely impact the utility, liquidity, and trading price of the Tokens.
negative impact on the operations or expenses of the Company and/or its Affiliates. There can be no assurance, therefore, that current economic conditions or worsening economic conditions or a prolonged or recurring recession will not have a significant, adverse impact on the Company and/or its Affiliates’ business, financial condition and results of operations, and hence, the Platform that is yet to be developed and/or the ability to develop, structure, license and/or launch any Token functionality. Any such circumstances would then correspondingly negatively impact the utility, liquidity, and/or trading price of the Tokens.
Cryptographic tokens such as the Tokens are a relatively new and dynamic technology. In addition to the risks included in the above discussion of risk factors, there are other risks associated with your purchase, holding, and use of the Tokens, including those that the Company and/or its Affiliates cannot anticipate. Such risks may further appear as unanticipated variations or combinations of the risks discussed above.
By purchasing Tokens, you agree to your personal data, (i.e., your e-mail address, name, address and other details personal to you) being processed by the Company and/or its Affiliates for its business purposes or the purposes of building, promoting, and communicating (about) the Platform that is yet to be developed and the Tokens. The Company agrees to keep your email address and other personal data private and not share it with the public (e.g., by including it on any external lists or selling to any third parties).
