Euro (the “Pre-Sale Price Per
Token”).

The Pre-Sale Price
Per Token shall only be applicable during the Pre-Sale Period until

In the Welcome
E-mail, Purchaser will have an option to follow the Unique Link.
Purchaser will be prompted to select a number of Tokens for
purchase within stated limits. After Purchaser have selected a
number of Tokens, the Token Sale portal will display the Exchange
Rate (as defined below) that will be applied to calculate
Purchaser’s Purchase Price (as defined in clause 11 below). The Company reserves the right, in its
sole discretion, to modify any of the procedures described herein
to account for network congestion or other technical
challenges.
11.
Purchaser’s
quoted “Purchase Price” in the Payment Currency is
equal to the number of Tokens Purchaser wish to purchase multiplied
by Euro value of the Pre-Sale Price Per Token or the Standard Price
Per Token (as applicable) divided by the Exchange Rate (as defined
below). The “Exchange Rate” will be the exchange rate
fixed by the Company for conversion of non-payment currency into
the Payment Currency. When calculating the Exchange Rate between
non-payment currency and the Payment Currency, the Company will
rely on xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx within approximately from one (1) to
twelve (12) hours
prior
to the time of the start of the Pre-Sale Period or the Sale Period
(as the case may be) and this will be published by the Company on
the following website: xxx.xxxx.xx.
12.
The Purchase Price
must be received in full during the Pre-Sale Period or the Sale
Period (as the case may be). If the Company has not received the
full payment of the Purchase Price in accordance with these Terms
within the Pre-Sale Period or the Sale Period (as applicable), the
Company reserves the right to void Purchaser’s purchase
request and refuse to accept Purchaser’s payment of the
Purchase Price. For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchase Price will
be deemed to be paid in full once the Company have received three
(3) network confirmations of the transaction. The Company reserves
the right, in its sole discretion, to modify any of the timelines
described herein to account for network congestion or other
technical challenges.
13.
Purchaser must pay
the Purchase Price by sending the correct quantity of the Payment
Currency to the unique wallet address displayed to Purchaser via
the Token Sale portal. Purchaser’s purchase is not guaranteed
until the Company receives the full amount of the Purchase
Price.
14.
Purchaser agrees
not to share Purchaser’s User Credentials or
Purchaser’s Unique Link provided in the Welcome Email with
any other person for the purpose of facilitating their unauthorized
access to the Token Sale. If Purchaser do share Purchaser’s
User Credentials or Purchaser’s Unique Link with anyone the

omissions that occur during the Token Sale through the use of

Purchaser’s User Credentials or Purchaser’s Unique
Link.

deliver the quantity of Tokens, either to an ERC-20 wallet notified
to the Company the Token Recipient Address or directly to
Purchaser’s wallet account with the Company, that Purchaser

following:
a.

b.
Thereafter, a
further 10% of the total number of Tokens purchased shall become
transferable to third party wallets exactly 7 days from the time of
delivery under 15a. above, and a further 10% of such number of
Tokens after each following 7-day period, until 100% of such Tokens
have become transferable.
16.
At any time during
the Token Sale and at its sole discretion, the Company may by
notice on the following website: xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx temporarily
or permanently suspend the Token Sale and/or the Token Sale portal
for security or other reasons and such suspension shall take effect
from the moment of publication of such notice until the same is

agrees not to send any contributions in any Payment Currency during
such a Suspension Period and accept the risk that any contribution
sent during such a Suspension Period may be lost in its entirety.

and to provide such other utility as the Company may in the future
decide to in respect of the Tokens subject to compliance with all

the Company (or an affiliate of the Company) to the users of the
Platform.
18.
The purchase,
ownership, receipt, transmission or possession of Tokens carries no
rights of whatsoever nature, express or implied, other than the
right to use Tokens in accordance with the Token Utility as a means
to enable usage of and interaction within the Platform if the
Platform is successfully completed and deployed. The Terms shall
not and cannot be considered as an invitation to enter into an
investment or purchase any Security security or financial
instrument. The Terms do not constitute or relate in any way, nor
should they be considered, as an offering of Securities 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, Purchaser must note that

Company’s (or any affiliate thereof) organisation and
governance to Purchaser, other than rights relating to the

the Platform. The Company does not and will not operate or maintain
the Platform and as such, the Company has no responsibility or
liability for the Platform or any ability to control third
parties’ use of the Platform. The Tokens are not intended to

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 White Paper 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.

undertaking to acquire Tokens acknowledges and understands that the
Company (or any affiliate thereof as applicable) does not provide
any promise covenant undertaking guarantee assurance representation
or warranty or create any expectation that it will establish
complete and/or deploy an operative Platform and therefore neither

undertaking guarantee assurance representation or warranty create
any expectation that the Tokens may at any time be used to purchase
any goods or services whatsoever or that the Token Utility or the
Platform will be established completed deployed delivered and/or

that the Company, or any affiliate thereof, assumes no liability or
responsibility whatsoever or howsoever arising for any loss or

relate to the incapacity or inability to use Tokens for any or all
of their intended purposes including the Token

jury in court) as provided in these Terms.
48.
No Class Arbitrations. Class Actions or
Representative Actions. Any Dispute arising out of or
related to these Terms is personal to Purchaser and the Company and
will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not
be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type
of representative proceeding. There will be no class arbitration or
arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as
a representative of another individual or group of individuals.
Further, a Dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type of
representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or
on behalf of any other individual or group of
individuals.
49.
Gibraltar Arbitration Act. The
enforceability of clauses 46 to 52
(inclusive) (Dispute Resolution.

Purchaser’s notice must include (i) Purchaser’s name,
postal address, email address and telephone number, (ii) a
description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the
Dispute, and (iii) the specific relief that Purchaser are seeking.
If Purchaser and the Company cannot agree how to resolve the
Dispute within thirty (30) days after the date the notice is
received by the applicable party, then either Purchaser or the
Company may, as appropriate and in accordance with clauses 46 to
52 (inclusive) (Dispute Resolution. Arbitration),
commence an arbitration proceeding or, to the extent specifically
provided for in clauses 46 to 52
(inclusive) (Dispute Resolution.
Arbitration), file a claim in court.
51.
Process. Any arbitration will occur in
Gibraltar and will be in the English language. The arbitration will
be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator appointed in
accordance with the Gibraltar Arbitration Act, which is hereby
incorporated by reference. The courts of competent jurisdiction
located in Gibraltar will have exclusive jurisdiction over any
appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration decision or
award.

Schedule 1
(Risks
relating purchasing, holding, selling and/or using
Tokens)
Important Note: Purchaser should
carefully consider and evaluate each of the following risk factors
and all other information contained in these Terms before deciding
to participate in the Token Sale. To the best of the
Company’s knowledge and belief, all risk factors which are
material to Purchaser in making an informed judgment to participate
in the Token Sale have been set out below. If any of the following
considerations, uncertainties or material risks develops into
actual events, the business, financial position and/or results of
operations of the Company and the maintenance and level of usage of
the Tokens could be materially and adversely affected. In such
cases, the trading price of Tokens (in the case where they are
listed on an exchange or market (regulated, unregulated, primary,
secondary or otherwise)) could decline due to any of these
considerations, uncertainties or material risks, and Purchaser may
lose all or part of Purchaser’s Tokens or the economic value
thereof.
Important Note: As set out in these
Terms, the Tokens are not being structured or sold as Securities
securities Financial Instruments financial instruments or any other
form of investment product. Accordingly, none of the information
presented in these Terms (including this Schedule 1) 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 these Terms or in the Available Information, (ii) any
error, omission or inaccuracy in any such information, or (iii) any
action resulting from such information.
By
purchasing, holding and using Tokens, Purchaser expressly
acknowledges understand and assume the following
risks:
Risk
of Losing Access to Tokens Due to Loss of Private
Key(s)
1.
A private key, or a
combination of private keys, is necessary to control and dispose of
Tokens stored in Purchaser’s digital wallet or vault.
Accordingly, loss of requisite private key(s) associated with
Purchaser’s digital wallet or vault storing Tokens may 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 Purchaser use, may be able
to misappropriate Purchaser’s Tokens. Any errors or
malfunctions caused by or otherwise related to the digital wallet
or vault Purchaser choose to receive and store Tokens, including
Purchaser’s own failure to properly maintain or use such
digital wallet or vault, may also result in the loss of
Purchaser’s Tokens. Additionally, Purchaser’s failure
to precisely follow the procedures set forth in for buying and
receiving Tokens, including, for instance, if Purchaser provide an
incorrect Token Receipt Address, or provides an address that is not
ERC-20 compatible, may result in the loss of Purchaser’s
Tokens.
Risks
Associated with the Ethereum Protocol
2.
Because Tokens and
the Platform are based on the Ethereum protocol, any malfunction,
breakdown or abandonment of the Ethereum protocol may have a
material adverse effect on the Platform or Tokens and their value.
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
Ethereum protocol. Smart contract concepts, the underlying software
application and software platform (i.e. the Ethereum blockchain) is
still in an early development stage and unproven. There is no
warranty or assurance that the process for creating Tokens will be
uninterrupted or error-free and there is an inherent risk that the
software could contain defects, weaknesses, vulnerabilities,
viruses or bugs causing, amongst other things, the complete loss of
Payment Currency contributions and/or Tokens.
Risk
of Mining Attacks
3.
As with other
decentralized cryptographic tokens based on the Ethereum protocol,
the Tokens are susceptible to attacks by miners in the course of
validating Token transactions on the Ethereum 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 Xxxxxx. Purchaser understand and accept that
the network of miners will ultimately be in control of the delivery
of the tokens via the smart contract mechanism, and that a majority
of miners could agree at any point to make changes, updates,
modifications to, or effect a deletion or destruction of the smart
contract mechanism, and that such a scenario could lead to the
Tokens losing intrinsic value and/or functionality.
Risk
of Hacking and Security Weaknesses
4.
Hackers or other
malicious groups or organizations 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, Xxxxx attacks, smurfing and spoofing.
Furthermore, because the Platform is based on open-source software,
there is a risk that a third party or a member of the
Company’s team may intentionally or unintentionally introduce
weaknesses into the core infrastructure of the Platform, which
could negatively affect the Platform and the Tokens and their value
including the Token Utility.
Risks
Associated with Markets for Tokens
5.
The Tokens are
intended to be used solely on the Platform and the Company may not
enable or otherwise facilitate any secondary trading or external
valuation of Tokens. This may restrict the contemplated avenues for
using Tokens to the provision or receipt of the Token Utility, and
could therefore create illiquidity risk with respect to any Tokens
Purchaser own. Even if secondary trading of Tokens is facilitated
by third-party exchanges, such exchanges may be relatively new and
subject to little or no regulatory oversight, making them more
susceptible to fraud or manipulation. Furthermore, to the extent
that third parties do ascribe an external exchange value to Tokens
(e.g., as denominated in a digital or fiat currency), such value
may be extremely volatile and diminish to zero. If Purchaser are
purchasing the Tokens as a form of investment on a speculative
basis or otherwise, or for a financial purpose, with the
expectation or desire that their inherent, intrinsic or
cash-equivalent value may increase with time, Purchaser assume all
risks associated with such speculation or actions, and any errors
associated therewith, and accept that the Tokens are not offered by
the Company or its affiliates on an investment or speculative
basis. Purchaser further acknowledges that any funds Purchaser
consider to be invested in the Company, the Platform or the Tokens
will not be protected, guaranteed or reimbursed by any
governmental, regulatory or other entity, and will not, for
instance be guaranteed by the Gibraltar Deposit Guarantee Scheme,
the Gibraltar Investor Compensation Scheme, and is unlikely to be
protected by any equivalent scheme in a jurisdiction outside of
Gibraltar.
Risks
Associated with Uncertain Regulations and Enforcement
Actions
6.
Blockchain
technology allows new forms of interaction and that it is possible
that certain jurisdictions will apply existing regulations on, or
introduce new regulations addressing, blockchain technology based
applications, which may be contrary to the current setup of the
smart contract implemented in the Token Sale and which may, inter
alia, result in substantial modifications to the smart contract
and/or the Platform and/or the Token Utility, including its
termination and the loss of Purchaser’s Tokens. Additionally,
regulation of the business of the Company may be uncertain in
various jurisdictions owing to the potential crossovers between the
treatment of the business of the Company across financial services
and blockchain technology laws and regulations. It is not known
what regulatory framework the proposed Platform or Token Utility
and associated applications will be caught by, the nature and
obligations that will be imposed on Company in order to comply with
any such regulatory framework or when/if Company will even be able
to apply to be regulated so that it may lawfully carry out its
proposed business activities.
Risk
of Uninsured Losses
7.
Unlike bank
accounts or accounts at some other financial institutions, Tokens
are uninsured unless Purchaser 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 the Company, to offer any recourse whatsoever to
Purchaser.
Risks
Associated with Uncertain Regulations and Enforcement
Actions
8.
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.
Risks
Arising from Taxation
9.
The tax
characterization of Tokens is uncertain. Purchaser must seek
Purchaser’s own tax advice in connection with purchasing,
holding and utilizing Tokens, which may result in adverse tax
consequences to Purchaser, including, without limitation,
withholding taxes, transfer taxes, value added taxes, income taxes
and similar taxes, levies, duties or other charges and tax
reporting requirements.
Risk
of Alternative Networks
10.
It is possible that
alternative networks could be established in an attempt to
facilitate services that are materially similar to the Token
Utility. The Platform may compete with these alternative networks,
which could negatively impact the Platform the Token Utility and/or
Tokens and their respective value.
Risk
of Insufficient Interest in the Platform or Distributed
Applications
11.
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. Such lack of use or interest
could negatively impact the development of the Platform and
therefore the potential utility of Tokens. including the Token
Utility. The creation and issue of the Tokens and the development
of the Platform may be abandoned for a number of reasons, including
lack of interest from the public, lack of funding, lack of
commercial success or prospects (e.g. caused by competing
projects). Purchaser therefore understand and accept that there is
no warranty or assurance that, even if the Platform is partially or
fully developed and launched, Purchaser will receive any benefits
through the Tokens that Purchaser hold.
Risks
Associated with the Development and Maintenance of the
Platform
12.
The Platform is yet
to be developed and may undergo significant changes over time
during its development. Although the Company intends for the Tokens
and Platform to follow the specifications set forth in the White
Paper, and will take commercially reasonable steps toward those
ends (subject to internal business description), the Company 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 Purchaser’s expectations at the time
of purchase. Furthermore, despite the Company’s 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 and their value.
Risk
of an Unfavorable Fluctuation of Ethereum and Other Currency
Value
13.
The Company intends
to use the proceeds from selling Tokens to fund, amongst other
things, the maintenance and development of the Platform, as
described in the White Paper. The proceeds of the sale of Tokens
will be denominated in the Payment Currency, and may be converted
into other cryptographic and fiat currencies. In addition, some
pre-sales of the Tokens may also be denominated in fiat currencies.
If the value of the Payment Currency or other currencies fluctuates
unfavourably during or after the Sale Period, the Company may not
be able to fund development, or may not be able to maintain the
Platform in the manner that it intended. In addition to the usual
market forces, there are several potential events which could
exacerbate the risk of unfavorable fluctuation in the value of ETH
including uncertainties created by the lack of resolution to the
bitcoin scaling debate, the possibility of another so-called
“Hard Fork” of bitcoin if one of the competing camps in
the scaling debate decides to force the issue; another DAO-like
attack on the Ethereum network; or significant security incidents
or market irregularities at one or more of the major cryptocurrency
exchanges.
Risk
of Hard Fork
14.
The Platform will
need to go through substantial development works as part of which
it may become the subject of significant conceptual, technical and
commercial changes before release. As part of the development, an
upgrade to the Token may be required (hard-fork of Token) and if
Purchaser decide not to participate in such upgrade, Purchaser may
no longer be able to use Purchaser’s Tokens and any
non-upgraded Tokens may lose their functionality in
full.
Risk
of Dissolution of the Company or Platform
15.
It is possible
that, due to any number of reasons, including, but not limited to,
an unfavourable fluctuation in the value of the Payment Currency
(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.
Risks
Arising from Lack of Governance Rights
16.
Because Tokens
confer no governance rights of any kind with respect to the
Platform or Company or its corporate affiliates, all decisions
involving the Platform or Company will be made by Company at its
sole and absolute discretion, including, but not limited to,
decisions to discontinue the Platform, to create and sell more
Tokens for use in the Platform, or to sell or liquidate the
Company. These decisions could adversely affect the Platform and
the Tokens Purchaser hold (including their value).
Risks
Involving Cloud Storage
17.
If the Company
decides to provide a decentralized cloud storage service to
individual and institutional clients, including users and
applications, the Token Utility is susceptible to a number of risks
related to the storage of data in the cloud. The Token Utility 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 Token
Utility 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 software that may
interface with the Platform, there is the risk that the Token
Utility 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 Token Utility. The risk that the Token Utility may
face increasing interruptions and the Platform may face additional
security vulnerabilities could adversely affect the Platform and
therefore the future utility and value of any Tokens that Purchaser
hold.
Unanticipated
Risks
18.
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 Purchaser’s 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 Schedule
1.
Risks
identified in the White Paper
19.
There are several
other risks which have been identified and which are set out in the
White Paper (in particular in the ‘Legal Considerations,
Risks and Disclaimer’ section of the White Paper) (the
“Risks Identified in the
White Paper”). The Risks Identified in the White Paper
are deemed to be incorporated by reference into these Terms and
Purchaser are strongly urged to review and consider the Risks
Identified in the White Paper as well as the risks set out
above.
