2. Third party applications developed or deployed on the nOS Platform may however charge users for goods, services or even for mere use of such applications. This is entirely dependent on the third-party application developer. You acknowledge that any such charges, costs or fees imposed by third party applications are not being imposed by the Company and that the Company has no control over them.

10. Risks:

1. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTAND THE RISKS SET OUT IN THIS CLAUSE AND THAT nOS TOKENS HAVE NO MONETARY VALUE. YOU MAY LOSE ALL AMOUNTS PAID. ACCORDINGLY, YOU HAVE CAREFULLY READ, REVIEWED AND ACKNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTAND AND ASSUME THE RISKS SET OUT IN THIS CLAUSE, AS WELL AS OTHER RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE nOS TOKENS (INCLUDING ALL THOSE WHICH ARE NOT SET OUT IN THIS AGREEMENT), ALL OF WHICH WOULD RENDER THE nOS TOKENS WORTHLESS OR OF LITTLE VALUE.

2. nOS Tokens do not represent or confer any ownership right or stake, share or security or equivalent rights, intellectual property rights or any other form of participation relating to the Company.

3. NEO Blockchain is prone to periodic congestion during which transactions can be delayed or lost. Third party individuals may also intentionally spam the NEO network in an attempt to gain an advantage in purchasing cryptographic tokens. You acknowledge and understand that NEO Blockchain block producers may not include Your transaction when You want due to network congestion or transaction spam which is beyond nOS Platform’s control, this may result in delays to Your transaction not being included on the NEO Blockchain.

4. You acknowledge, understand and agree that nOS Tokens may have no monetary value, there is no guarantee or representation of liquidity for the nOS Tokens and that the Company is not and shall not be responsible or liable for the market value of nOS Tokens, the transferability and/or liquidity of nOS Tokens and/or the availability of any market for nOS Tokens through third parties or otherwise.

5. nOS Tokens may be subject to expropriation and/or theft. Hackers or other malicious groups or organisations may attempt to interfere with the nOS 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 NEO platform rests on open source software and nOS Tokens are based on open source software, there is the risk that smart contracts may contain intentional or unintentional bugs or weaknesses which may negatively affect the nOS Tokens or result in the loss of Your nOS Tokens, the loss of Your ability to access or control Your nOS Tokens or the loss of nOS Tokens in Your Account. In the event of such a software bug or weakness, there may be no remedy provided by the Company to the User and holders of nOS Tokens are not guaranteed any remedy, refund or compensation.

6. nOS Tokens purchased by You may be held in Your 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 Your digital wallet or vault will result in loss of such nOS Tokens, access to Your nOS Tokens’ balance and/or any initial 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 You use, may be able to misappropriate Your nOS Tokens. The Company is not responsible for any such losses.

7. The Company’s software and platform and all of the matters set forth in the Whitepaper are new and untested. The software might not be capable of completion, implementation or adoption. It is possible that no blockchain utilising the software will be ever launched and there may never be an operational platform. You should not rely on the software or the ability to receive tokens associated with the nOS Platform in the future. Even if the software is completed, implemented and adopted, it might not function as intended, and any tokens associated with a blockchain adopting the software may not have the functionality that is desirable or valuable. Also, technology is changing rapidly, so the nOS Tokens and any tokens transferable on the nOS Platform may become outdated.

8. Even if completed, the software will rely, in whole or partly, on third parties to adopt and implement it and to continue to develop, supply, and otherwise support it. The Company hereby provides no assurance or guarantee that such third parties will complete their work, properly carry out their obligations, or otherwise meet anyone’s needs, all of which might have a material adverse effect on the software and nOS Platform.

9. Should You fail to map a Public Key to Your Account, this may result in third parties being unable to recognise Your nOS Token balance on the NEO blockchain when and if they configure the initial balances of a new blockchain based upon the software of which the Company makes no representation or guarantee.

10. The nOS Platform and inbuilt software is still under development and may undergo significant changes over time. Although the Company intends for the software to have the features and specifications set forth in the Whitepaper, the Company may be required to make changes to such features and specifications for any number of reasons, and any party (such as third party entities who attempt to copy the open-source software of the Platform) that adopts the software and launches the nOS Platform may also make changes, any of which may imply that the nOS Platform may not meet Your expectations.

11. The development of the software 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.

12. To the extent that the software is finished and adopted and the nOS Platform is launched, the ongoing success of the nOS Platform relies on the interest and participation of third parties. The Company does not provide any assurance or guarantee that there will be sufficient interest or participation in the nOS Platform.
    

13. As nOS Platform’s primary code is open-source and under the MIT License, whether development is abandoned by the Company or not, nOS Platform’s code development may be subject to further change or modification by any third party, such amendment or modification is not within the Company’s control.

14. Cryptographic tokens, digital assets and blockchain technology may be unregulated, or their status unclear, in many jurisdictions. It is difficult to predict how or whether governmental authorities will regulate such technologies. 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 cryptographic tokens, digital assets, blockchain technology and its applications. Such changes could negatively impact tokens in various ways, including, for example, through a determination that tokens are regulated financial instruments that require registration. The Company may cease the distribution of nOS Tokens, the development of the software and the nOS Platform or cease operations in a particular jurisdiction in the event that governmental actions make it unlawful or commercially undesirable to continue to do so.

15. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF ANY DOUBT, RESIDENTS AND CITIZENS OF CHINA, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA), DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF KOREA (DPRK OR NORTH KOREA), SYRIA, ETHIOPIA, IRAN, SRI LANKA, SUDAN, YEMEN AS WELL AS ANY OTHER JURISDICTION THAT IS FROM TIME TO TIME CONSIDERED TO POSE A HIGHER RISK OF MONEY LAUNDERING AND/OR FUNDING OF TERRORISM BY THE FINANCIAL ACTION TASK FORCE (FATF), THE UNITED NATIONS (UN), THE USA, THE EUROPEAN UNION (EU) OR THE MALTESE FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE ANALYSIS UNIT (FIAU), AND OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION THAT FORBIDS OR RESTRICTS OR DECLARES AS UNLAWFUL THE PARTICIPATION IN VIRTUAL TOKEN GENERATING EVENTS AS WELL AS INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE SUBJECT TO SANCTIONS ISSUED BY THE UN, US AND/OR THE EU, ARE NOT PERMITTED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE NOS TOKEN SALE, EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY. THE COMPANY WILL UNDERTAKE TO THE BEST OF ITS EFFORTS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH RESIDENTS AND CITIZENS FROM PARTICIPATING IN THE NOS TOKEN GENERATION EVENT. THE COMPANY HAS THE DISCRETION TO REFUSE PARTICIPANTS ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PARTICIPANT’S COUNTRY’S LEVEL OF HOSTILITY TOWARDS TOKEN GENERATION EVENTS. ANY ATTEMPT TO CIRCUMVENT THIS AGREEMENT WILL RESULT IN NOS TOKENS NOT BEING ISSUED, AND THE PAYMENT THEREOF BEING RETURNED TO YOU. THE COMPANY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CHARGE A PROCESSING FEE WHEN YOU ARE FOUND TO BE IN BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT.

16. As noted above, the industry in which the Company operates is a novel one, and may be subject to heightened oversight and scrutiny, including investigations or enforcement actions by government authorities, officials or agencies. The Company is not in a position to provide any assurance that governmental authorities will not examine the operations of the Company and/or pursue enforcement actions against the Company. The result of such actions may subject the Company to court judgments, settlements, arbitration proceedings, fines or penalties, or cause the Company to restructure its operations and activities or to cease offering certain products or services, all of which could harm the Company’s reputation or lead to higher operational costs, which may in turn have a material adverse effect on the nOS Tokens and/or the development of the software.

11. Liability and indemnification:

1. To the fullest extent permitted by any applicable law, You hereby waive and disclaim any right or cause of action against the Company in any jurisdiction that would give rise to any damages for or based on the devaluation or loss in the value of the nOS Token.

4. To the fullest extent permitted by any applicable law, You hereby release the Company from 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 You and third parties.
