Legal Risks. Contagion Risk. The UCITS has the legal form of a collective trusteeship, with an umbrella structure. Each Sub-Fund constitutes a pool of assets and liabilities separate from other Sub-Funds of the UCITS, and, as a matter of Liechtenstein law, the assets of any one Sub-Fund are not available to meet the liabilities of another Sub-Fund. However, the UCITS may operate or have assets held on its behalf or be subject to claims in other jurisdictions which may not necessarily recognize such segregation and in such circumstances the assets of one segregated portfolio may be exposed to the liabilities of another segregated portfolio whose assets are exhausted.
Legal Risks. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Licensee faces certain legal risk which include, but are not limited to, the following:
Legal Risks. In any adoption there may be legal risks. These include the risk that the agency or court in the foreign country may not approve Adopting Parents’ adoption or will change the requirements for Adopting Parents to complete the adoption. There may be issues raised by a termination of parental rights in the foreign court based on a relinquishment by the birth mother only, not the birth father. If Adopting Parents must finalize or confirm Adopting Parents’ adoption when Adopting Parents return home with a child, the court in Adopting Parents’ state may not approve the adoption or may have additional requirements Adopting Parents must meet beyond those of the foreign court or the NBC. Nightlight strongly recommends that Adopting Parents consult with an attorney regarding any issues which are of concern to Adopting Parents. Although risks can never be totally eliminated, Nightlight encourages Adopting Parents to talk to other adoptive parents and adoption professionals who are familiar with international adoptions to better understand the risks involved.
Legal Risks. In the Special Needs Program, Parent(s) may view information regarding waiting children early on in the adoption process. There is a risk that Parent(s) may not receive a favorable recommendation for adoption from their home study provider; this would inhibit Parent(s) from being permitted to adopt the referred, or any, child. There is a risk that Parent(s) may not receive an approval of their I600A or other immigration documents, which would inhibit Parent(s) from being able to adopt.
Legal Risks. The legal situation of certain cryptocurrencies or digital tokens can be uncertain, that is, the maintenance or commercialization of these is not always completely clear.

Users thereof are responsible for knowing and understanding how cryptocurrencies or digital tokens will be addressed, regulated and taxed under applicable law.
Legal Risks. International adoption involves significant legal risks, as there are four separate legal systems involved: state law, federal law, foreign law, and international law. Such laws and policies, and changes thereto and updates thereof, are beyond the control of MLJ Adoptions. MLJ Adoptions cannot and does not guarantee that the laws and policies of the sending country or the laws and policies of the receiving country will not change, causing significant impediments to the adoption process for Parent(s) or disallowing a successful adoption for Parent(s) altogether. Parent(s) understand that, while MLJ Adoptions will make reasonable efforts to remedy all legal problems, due to the conflict of laws (United States law vs. Foreign or International law), there may not be an adequate remedy at law for Parent(s). These legal risks include the possibility that the foreign country’s government could change the laws regarding adoption, prohibiting Parent(s) from continuing with the adoption. There is the possibility that the foreign country could become engaged in a civil or international dispute/conflict/transfer of power that would consequently inhibit the adoption process. MLJ Adoptions cannot and does not guarantee that:
