(iii) For the avoidance of doubt, (a) ETC (the native cryptographic tokens on the blockchain of the Ethereum Classic) or USDT or any cryptographic tokens resulting from any further forking of the Ethereum Classic after the date of these Terms and Conditions will not be deemed as identical or equivalent to ETH or USDT (as applicable); and (b) should the ETH blockchain be forked after the date of these Terms and Conditions, the Company shall have the absolute discretion to determine the cryptographic token of which branch or branches resulting from that forking would be accepted. The Company will announce its choice of branch as and when appropriate on the Website.
(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, (a) BTC (the native cryptographic tokens on the blockchain of the Bitcoin) or BCH or any cryptographic tokens resulting from any further forking of the Bitcoin after the date of these Terms and Conditions will not be deemed as identical or equivalent to BTC or BCH (as applicable); and (b) should the BTC blockchain be forked after the date of these Terms and Conditions, the Company shall have the absolute discretion to determine the cryptographic token of which branch or branches resulting from that forking would be accepted. The Company will announce its choice of branch as and when appropriate on the Website.
(v) For the avoidance of doubt, (a) EOS (the native cryptographic tokens on the blockchain of the EOS.IO) or any cryptographic tokens resulting from any further forking of the EOS.IO after the date of these Terms and Conditions will not be deemed as identical or equivalent to EOS; and (b) should the EOS.IO be forked after the date of these Terms and Conditions, the Company shall have the absolute discretion to determine the cryptographic token of which branch or branches resulting from that forking would be accepted. The Company will announce its choice of branch as and when appropriate on the Website.
(vi) Purchasers are responsible for all costs and other arrangements relating to their connections to the Company, including its Website.
(vii) In order to remit a valid contribution for the Campaign, each Purchaser is required to send BTC, BCH, ETH, EOS or USDT within the Payment Window to the BTC, BCH, ETH, EOS or USDT address as instructed by the Company. Arrangements and consequences for late contributions are stipulated in section 10 below.
(viii) A contribution by any Purchaser is considered as completed and irrevocably remitted for the purposes of this section 8 at a time to be determined by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion. Any double spending attempt when making a contribution will be deemed as fraud and will not be recognized by the Company as a valid contribution, nor will it entitle the sending Purchaser to claim any FF Token.
(ix) Unless otherwise stated in these Terms and Conditions or a Website announcement, the Company is not obliged to refund any payments made by Purchasers under any circumstances.
9. ADDRESS FOR RECEIVING FF SUPERCOINS CONTRIBUTION
The address to receive the contributions for the FF Tokens will be determined and announced by the Company on the Website. Each Purchaser shall remit their contribution to such address directly from their Purchaser’s Wallet or Designated Wallet. This is the only valid address for receiving contributions for the FF Tokens for Purchasers. Payments sent to any other address will not be recognized by the Company as a valid payment. Such payments will not entitle the sending person to any claim of FF Tokens.
10. PAYMENT WINDOW
The period to purchase FF Tokens and contribute to the Token Sale (the “Payment Window”) will be opened from a date to be decided by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion and announced on the Website through and until the earlier of:
(i) close of the Token Sale; or
(ii) at the Company’s sole and absolute discretion as announced on the Website.
No payments will be accepted on or after the close of the Payment Window. Late payments may be rejected by the Company, and no FF Tokens will be allocated. The Company will refund any contributions from late payments within 14 days after the End Date minus any network or third-party fees, including handling fees.
11. TERMINATION EVENTS
Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms and Conditions, the Company is entitled to terminate the Campaign, without any prior notice, if any of the following events occurs:
(i) With or without reasons, the Company elects to cease the operation of the FF Tokens by making an announcement on the Website.
(ii) With or without reasons, the Company elects to terminate the Campaign prior to the close of the Payment Window by making an announcement on the Website.
(iii) The sale of FF Tokens is required by any applicable law or regulation to terminate or be fundamentally restructured.
(iv) The Company being notified by any government, quasi-government, authority or public body (including but not limited to any regulatory body of any jurisdiction) in any jurisdiction that the Campaign is under investigation, prohibited, banned or forced to cease, or the Company is otherwise required by law to end the Campaign.
(x) The sale of FF Tokens discontinues prior to the Token Sale due to any force majeure event (including but not limited to any act of god, war, terrorism, industrial disputes, natural disaster, adverse weather conditions, failure of communication systems, or any other cause beyond the control of the Company) and the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, cannot reasonably expect work on the FF Tokens to be resumed within three (3) months of such event.
(v) The Company fails to issue the FF Tokens to the purchasers within [1] year from the End Date.
(vi) A purchaser has breached any provision of these Terms and Conditions or acted in a manner which clearly shows that it does not intend to or are unable to comply with any provision in these Terms and Conditions;
(vii) The Company considers it is required to do so by the application of any laws or regulations or by any government, quasi-government, authority or public body (including but not limited to any regulatory body of any jurisdiction); or
(viii) The Company determines that performing its obligations under these Terms and Conditions is no longer commercially viable.
The Company retains its sole and absolute discretion to declare termination of the Campaign upon the occurrence of any of the above events and the Purchasers are not entitled to object to or deny the decision made by the Company. The Company will inform Purchasers of such termination by notice in accordance with Chapter III section 20 (“Notices”). Subject to these Terms and Conditions, nothing in this section affects a Purchaser’s rights to any FF Token of which it is absolute owner.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser shall have no right to terminate its purchase of FF Tokens under these Terms and Condition for any reason whatsoever, including the occurrence of any event specified in this section 11 of these Terms and Conditions.
12. ACTIONS UPON TERMINATION
Upon termination of the Campaign in accordance with section 11 above, the Company will, to the extent permissible by applicable law, notify all Purchasers in writing immediately of the refund arrangement of the balances of any unspent Token Sale proceeds, which would be net of all expenses and taxes paid (including any transaction or network fees incurred for such refund). Any shortfall in such refund arising as a result of such expenses and taxes will be borne equally by all Purchasers pro rata in accordance to the proportion of FF Tokens purchased by each Purchaser. All Purchasers must reply to such notice within one month of the Company sending the notice otherwise would be deemed waived and the Company shall not be under any obligation to return the Token Sale proceeds.
For avoidance of doubt:
(i) the refunds shall only be made if the Campaign is terminated in accordance with the termination events as stated in section 11 of this Chapter II ;
(ii) no refunds shall be made to Purchasers who have not complied with any requirement in these Terms and Conditions; and
(iii) the amount of any Token Sale proceeds that have been spent by the Company will not form part of any pool of Token Sale proceeds which may be used to provide refunds to Purchasers. This means that the amount which may refunded may be less than originally paid. The Company will not have any obligation to refund such Token Sale proceeds as have already been spent by the Company prior to the termination.
Other than as set forth in this section 12, the Company shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Purchaser upon the termination of the Campaign.
13. NO REDEMPTION
Given FF Tokens are not securities of any kind nor do they represent any legal or contractual right, neither the Company nor anyone else is obliged to redeem or purchase any FF Tokens from any Purchaser at any time, nor to give a refund for the return of the FF Tokens. As a cryptographic utility token, FF Token is not intended to be redeemed, purchased or otherwise transacted for profit.
14. POST-DELIVERY ATTENTION
Upon the delivery of FF Tokens to the cryptographic token wallet address specified by the Purchaser during the Token Sale, the Company shall have no further obligations to any Purchaser whatsoever. Each Purchaser has the sole responsibility to attend and exercise due care to FF Tokens delivered to them. In particular, it is imperative that any private key(s) relating to their cryptographic token wallet are stored securely. The Company is not liable whatsoever for any FF Tokens loss or theft after delivery to the Purchaser, regardless the reason for such loss or theft.
III. MISCELLANEOUS
1. NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY
The Company disclaims and makes no representation or warranty with respect to the Campaign, or FF Tokens (including but not limited to its merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose), except those expressly specified herein. Each Purchaser’s decision to participate in the Campaign and purchase any FF Token is made based on their own knowledge of the Company, FF Tokens and the information disclosed herein or in the White Paper. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, each Purchaser will, upon Token distribution, accept FF Tokens and the purchased FF Tokens on an “as is” basis, irrespective of its technical specifications, parameters, performance or function.
2. NO LIABILITY
In addition to other disclaimers elsewhere in these Terms and Conditions and any Website announcement, neither the Company nor any other third party is liable to a Purchaser or any other person for any loss, damage, cost or expense whether direct, indirect, consequential, special, punitive, exemplary or economic (except in instances of gross negligence, fraud or wilful misconduct by the Company) which arises in tort, contract or otherwise whether under statute or the common law, in connection with anyone or more of the following:
(a) any person’s participation in the Campaign in violation of any regulatory requirements imposed by any jurisdictions that may be applicable to them. Such regulatory requirements include but not limited to those relating to Financial Crime;

(m) listing or delisting of FF Tokens on or from any exchange, including but not limited to cryptographic token exchanges;
(n) Company’s failure to obtain any necessary licences, approvals and/or permit to conduct any of the services;
(o) FF Tokens being treated or classified by any government, quasi-government, authority or public body (including but not limited to any regulatory body of any jurisdiction) as a type of security, money, currency, commodity, asset, collective investment scheme, commercial paper, negotiable instrument, investment or otherwise that may be banned, regulated or subject to certain legal restrictions and/or approval processes;
(p) any direct and indirect outcome resulted from the risk factors disclosed in these Terms and Conditions. This also includes any subsequent claim, damage, liability, loss, punishment, cost or other adverse impact that is associated with, caused by, in connection with, consequential to or incidental to that particular risk factor;
(q) any other matter arising from or related to the subject matter of these Terms and Conditions.
Each Purchaser agrees that they will not commence, or attempt or threaten to commence, any proceedings, action or claim (including any claim for compensation or costs) against the Company, or any third party in any jurisdiction for the recovery of any loss, damage, cost or expense, or in relation to any liability, arising out of or in connection with FF Tokens.
If the Company’s liability (or the liability of any provider of information) for a breach of a right or term implied by law in a relevant jurisdiction (whether by statute or otherwise) is capable of exclusion, it is hereby excluded.
Further, if the Company’s liability in relation to any matter relating to or arising in connection with FF Tokens is capable of limitation (but not exclusion), it is hereby limited to the maximum extent that is permitted by applicable law.
3. VARIATION
The Company may vary these Terms and Conditions by notice given under these Terms and Conditions in accordance with section 20 of Chapter III provided that such notice expressly states that it modifies, varies, amends or supplements these Terms and Conditions.
To the extent of any inconsistency between this document and the Website, announcements made on the Website will prevail (in reverse chronological order).

In addition, each Purchaser is solely liable for all such penal consequences, claims, fines, penalties, liabilities or otherwise arising from his underpayment, undue payment, belated payment or non-payment of any relevant tax. The Company does not give any advice on tax related matters and makes no representation as to the tax implication, if any, of any Purchaser’s participation in the Campaign. It is the responsibility of each Purchaser to consult their tax advisors before purchasing FF Tokens during and after the Campaign.
6. NO WAIVER
From time to time, the Company may decide not to require, or strictly enforce a Purchaser’s compliance in relation to any provision in these Terms and Conditions. The Company may also decide not to exercise any or all of its rights empowered herein. None of these should be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of the Company's right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance. If applicable, an express or implied waiver given by the Company of any condition, provision, or requirement of these Terms and Conditions does not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such condition, provision or requirement.
7. SEVERABILITY
If any portion of these Terms and Conditions is held to be illegal, unenforceable or invalid, whether in whole or part, under the laws of any jurisdiction, that portion should be severed, and such illegality, unenforceability or invalidity does not affect the legality, enforceability or validity of the rest of these Terms and Conditions in that jurisdiction. This section has no effect if the severance alters the basic nature of this document or is contrary to public policy.

16. INFORMATION PROVIDED TO PURCHASERS
The Company endeavours to ensure the accuracy and reliability of any information provided to Purchasers, whether in the White Paper, these Terms and Conditions, the Website, or any Other Relevant Material but the Company does not in any way guarantee the accuracy, completeness or reliability of such information and accepts no liability (whether in tort or contract or otherwise whether under statute or common law) for any loss or damage arising from any inaccuracies or omissions in such information. The use of such information is at the Purchaser’s sole risk. The Purchaser should undertake his own due diligence to verify the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of such information. Such information is provided to the Purchaser only and may not be furnished to or relied on by any other person or entity (in whole or part) for any reason without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent may be conditional.
The Company does not guarantee the timeliness, sequence, accuracy, adequacy, consistency or completeness of any information provided to Purchasers from time to time and any such information is provided on an “as is”, “as available” basis.

IV. RISK FACTORS
This Chapter IV does not purport to advise you of all of the risks and other significant aspects of the FF Tokens or the Token Sale. You should also consider any additional risks and considerations relating to the FF Tokens and Token Sale and to consult your own legal, tax, financial and other advisers before entering into any transaction. In a worst-case scenario, you could lose your entire payment amount.
There are a number of risks involved in this Token Sale, as well as the future development, maintenance and running of FF Tokens. Some of these risks are beyond the control of the Company and the Company’s liability is limited as set out in Chapter III, section 2. Each Purchaser should comprehend, consider and evaluate carefully the risks described below in addition to any other available information before committing to the Campaign.
Each Purchaser should pay particular attention to the fact that, although the Company is established in Hong Kong, FF Tokens does not have any specific physical presence. In addition, the legal and regulatory position of FF Tokens may vary depending on the facts and circumstances. They may therefore fall within the purview of one or more jurisdictions, at least to some extent, and the legal and regulatory implications may therefore be unexpected.
Participation in the Campaign shall be taken as an action after careful and prudent analysis and evaluation, and will be deemed as the relevant Purchaser having been fully informed, advised and willing to bear all of the risks associated with it, including those as set out in this Chapter IV. You agree that the Company shall not be liable for, amongst others, any loss in connection with any risk whether disclosed or not disclosed in these Terms and Conditions. Any such loss will be at your sole and absolute risk.
(1) AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE CAMPAIGN
At the date of these Terms and Conditions, the Company is still seeking legal advice on a number of matters including but not limited to the governance structure, operational plan and the Token Sale process. Pending such advice, some or all aspects of these Terms and Conditions, the White Paper and other materials may need to be amended, as announced on the Website. The Purchaser should be aware of the risks associated with any possible changes, which may have adverse effects on the utility and legitimacy of FF Tokens. Also, the Campaign may be terminated pursuant to Chapter II Sections 11 and 12 but the Purchaser will not be entitled to any refund except pursuant to these Terms and Conditions.
(2) LIMITED AVAILABILITY OF SUFFICIENT INFORMATION
FF Tokens are still at an early development phase as of the date of these Terms and Conditions. Its governance structure, fees, purpose, consensus mechanism, algorithm, code, infrastructure design and other technical specifications and parameters may be updated and changed frequently without notice. While the White Paper contains the key information currently available, it is subject to adjustments and updates from time to time, as announced on the Website. Purchasers will not have full access to all the information relevant to FF Tokens. Nevertheless, given the nature of the FF Tokens, it is anticipated that significant milestones and progress reports will be announced on the Website, together with Subscription options as applicable.
(3) IMMEDIATE USE OF TOKEN SALE PROCEEDS AND REFUND POLICY
Initially the Company will operate with limited funding and will therefore rely heavily on the Token Sale proceeds raised in the Campaign in order to maintain the FF Tokens, and the operation of the Company. By participating in the Token Sale, you acknowledge that the Company shall be entitled to utilize the proceeds raised immediately and, in the event that the development of the FF Tokens is terminated for whatever reason, you may not be entitled to refund of the part of the proceeds that were spent already by the Company.
(4) REGULATORY MEASURES
Cryptographic tokens may be overseen by the legal and regulatory authorities of a number of jurisdictions globally. The Company may receive notices, queries, warnings, requests or rulings from one or more authorities upon short notice, or may even be ordered to suspend or terminate any action in connection with the Campaign as a whole without prior notice. Furthermore, many aspects of FF Tokens also involve untested areas of law and regulation, and could be subject to new laws or regulations. Therefore, their legal and regulatory outcome in all relevant jurisdictions is not possible to predict. The planning, development, marketing, promotion, execution or otherwise of the FF Tokens or the Campaign may be seriously affected, hindered, postponed or terminated as a result of such new laws and/or regulations. Since regulatory policies can change with or without prior notice, any existing regulatory permissions for or tolerance of FF Tokens or the Campaign in any jurisdiction may be withdrawn without warning. FF Tokens could be deemed from time to time as a commodity or virtual commodity, a digital asset or even as money, securities or currency in various jurisdictions and therefore could be prohibited from being sold, purchased, traded, distributed or held in certain jurisdictions pursuant to local regulations. In turn, the FF Tokens could be deemed to be a regulated or restricted product. There is no guarantee that FF Tokens can maintain any particular legal or regulatory status in any particular jurisdiction at any time.
(5) CRYPTOGRAPHIC PROTECTIONS
Cryptography is evolving and there can be no guarantee of security at all times. Advancement in cryptography technologies and techniques, including but not limited to code cracking, the development of artificial intelligence and/or quantum computers, could be identified as risks to all cryptography-based and/or blockchain based systems including FF Tokens. When such technologies and/or techniques are applied to FF Tokens, adverse outcomes such as theft, loss, disappearance, destruction, devaluation or compromising of FF Tokens may result. The security of FF Tokens cannot be guaranteed as the future of cryptography or security innovations is unpredictable.
(6) ABANDONMENT OR DEVELOPMENT FAILURE
Due to the technically complex nature of the FF Tokens, the Company could face difficulties from time to time that may be unforeseeable and/or unresolvable. Accordingly, the development of the FF Tokens could fail, terminate or be delayed at any time for any reason (including but not limited to a lack of funds). Development failure or termination may render FF Tokens not transferable, of reduced or no utility whatsoever, and/or obsolete.
(7) THEFT OF TOKEN SALE PROCEEDS
There may be attempts to steal the Token Sale proceeds. Such theft or attempted theft may impact the ability of the Company to fund the development or maintenance of FF Tokens. While the Company will endeavour to adopt industry best practices to keep the Token Sale proceeds safe (including but not limited to the use of cold storage and multi-signature authentications), successful cyber thefts may still occur.
(8) FLAW IN THE SOURCE CODE
While the Company adopts quality assurance procedures to help ensure the source codes as accurately as possible reflect their intended operation, the flawlessness of the source codes cannot be guaranteed. They may contain bugs, defects, inconsistencies, flaws or errors, which may disable some functionality, create vulnerabilities or cause instability. Such flaws may compromise the predictability, usability, stability, and/or security of FF Tokens. Open source codes rely on transparency to promote community-sourced identification and solution of problems within the code.
(9) COMPROMISED SECURITY
FF Tokens relies on open source software and unpermissioned decentralised distributed ledgers including but not limited to Ethereum. Accordingly, anyone may intentionally or unintentionally compromise the core infrastructural elements of FF Tokens and its underlying technologies. This may consequently result in the loss of any digital tokens held on the FF Tokens wallet and may cause the utility of FF Tokens to fall.
(10) UNAUTHORIZED CLAIM OF FF SUPERCOINS
FF Tokens can be claimed in bad faith by any person who successfully gains access to the holder’s wallet, email or if applicable, the Purchasers account they have registered the Website. This can be as a result of deciphering or cracking the holder’s password or private key, phishing scams and/or other hacking techniques. Subsequently, these FF Tokens may be sent to anyone and such remittance is not revocable or reversible. It is recommended that all FF Tokens holders should take appropriate security measures to safeguard their wallets (including but not limited to the use of two-factor authentication). Each FF Tokens holder is responsible for the security of their wallet, email and account on the Website at all times.
(11) LOSS OF PRIVATE KEY
The loss or destruction of a private key will permanently and irreversibly deny the holder access to their FF Tokens. FF Tokens are controlled only by the validation of both the relevant unique public and private keys through the local or online wallet. While it is recommended that all FF Tokens holders protect and securely store their private keys, each holder is responsible for safeguarding the private keys applicable to their own wallets.
(12) FORKING
FF Token is developed on the Ethereum blockchain, which is an open source protocol. Once released to the open source community, anyone may develop a patch or upgrade for the source code of Ethereum without prior permission by anyone else. The acceptance of patches or upgrades by a significant, but not necessarily overwhelming percentage of the Ethereum holders could result in a “fork” in the Ethereum blockchain.
The temporary or permanent existence of forked blockchains could adversely impact the operation of and the utility of FF Tokens. While a fork in the blockchain could possibly be rectified by community-led efforts to re-merge the two separate branches, success is not guaranteed and could take an undetermined amount of time to achieve.
(13) POPULARITY
FF Tokens may not be popular, prevalent or widely distributed after the Token Launch. FF Tokens may remain marginalized in the long run, appealing to only a minimal fraction of users. Also, it may be the case that speculators could end up being key drivers of FF Tokens demand. An absence of active users or low level of utilization may negatively affect the long-term development and future of the FF Tokens, and reduce or obviate the utility of FF Tokens.
(14) MARKET LIQUIDITY
After the Token Launch, the Company is not responsible for the subsequent circulation and trading (if any) of FF Tokens. FF Tokens is not money, legal tender or currency, fiat or otherwise, issued by any individual, entity, central bank or national, supra-national or quasi-national organization, nor is it backed by any type or quantity of assets, property or credits, nor does it represent any entitlement to any distributions of profits, dividends, or any other returns or payments of any kind from the Company and/or the Reserve. The utility of FF Tokens is solely based on the views expressed by buyers and sellers. There is no obligation of the Company nor anyone else to redeem, repurchase or acquire any FF Tokens from any FF Tokens holder. There is no guarantee or assurance that there may be a market where holders may readily trade FF Tokens.
(15) PRICE VOLATILITY
The circulation of FF Tokens is not the responsibility of the Company, and the Company will not support or otherwise facilitate the secondary trading of FF Tokens. As a result, FF Tokens may not circulate freely or widely, and may not be listed on any secondary markets.
Many cryptographic tokens have volatile prices. Even if FF Tokens do circulate on secondary markets, large fluctuations in price over short timeframes may occur. Such fluctuations could result from market dynamics (including but not limited to speculations), regulatory changes, technical advancements, exchange availabilities and other factors that impact the equilibrium between token supply and demand.
(16) THE COMPANY’S EXPOSURE TO CRYPTOGRAPHIC TOKENS
After the completion of this Token Sale, the Company expects that a certain portion of the proceeds may be converted into and/or held in other cryptocurrencies or cryptographic utility tokens. The Company expects to convert an appropriate proportion of cryptographic utility tokens received into fiat currencies at the sole and absolute discretion of the directors of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, no FF Tokens holder has any right, title or interest in any such fiat currencies and/or cryptographic tokens.
(17) CONFLICT OF INTERESTS
As the initial supplier and architect of the FF Tokens, the Company has substantial influence in the set-up, governance and initial operations of the Company. The Company may undertake its activities, and exercise applicable rights, powers and remedies, even if this involves an actual or perceived conflict of duty, or any person has a personal interest in their exercise.
(18) POTENTIAL CONCENTRATED OWNERSHIP OF FF SUPERCOINS
Immediately after the completion of the Campaign, a number of individuals, including but not limited to the directors, advisors and early backers of the Company, may directly or indirectly own significant proportion of total available FF Tokens. These significant FF Tokens holders may, acting alone or in concert, not necessarily make decisions that are in the best interests of the other FF Tokens holders or the wider community as a whole.
(19) THIRD PARTY DEVELOPERS AND SUPPLIERS
By virtue of its decentralized factor, the FF Tokens will aggregate systems and contents from third parties. These will be provided by third parties, including users of the FF Tokens community or shall be other come from other decentralized ledger projects or open source technologies. Some or all of these third-party applications, programs or services may connect into or be set up on the underlying blockchain which are beyond the Company’s restriction, vetting, authorization or control. The Company neither intends nor has the capabilities to act as an authority to scrutinize to any extent any applications, programs or services to be developed on, connected to or otherwise associated with underlying blockchain.
(20) PRIVACY AND DATA RETENTION ISSUES
As a part of the Token Sale, the Company may collect personal information from Purchasers. The collection of such information is subject to applicable laws and regulations. All information collected will be used for purposes of Token Sale, thus it may be transferred to contractor, service providers and consultants worldwide as appointed by the Company. Apart from external compromises, the Company and its appointed entities may also suffer from internal security breach whereby their employees may misappropriate, misplace or lose personal information of Purchasers. The Company may be required to expend significant financial resources to alleviate problems caused by any breaches or losses, settle fines and resolve inquiries from regulatory or government authorities. Any information breaches or losses will also damage the Company’s reputations, thereby harming its long-term prospects.
(21) GENERAL RISKS RELATING TO THE USE OF THE INTERNET OR OTHER ELECTRONIC MEDIUM
Without limiting the foregoing risks, any communication or transaction via or information (including any document) transmitted via the internet or other electronic medium involves risks and by participating in the Campaign, you acknowledge that you understand and accept the following risks:
• As a result of such unreliability:
o there may be time-lags, delays, failures or loss of data or loss of confidentiality in the transmission of data and receipt of communications; and
o while the Company may believe certain data to be reliable, there may be no independent basis for it to verify or contradict the accuracy or completeness of such data.
This is not an exhaustive list of all the consequences arising from such unreliability.
• Purchasers are solely responsible for preventing anything which may be harmful to any equipment that they use in connection with FF Tokens (including any computer virus, malicious program or harmful component) from affecting any such equipment, regardless of whether it originated in connection with FF Tokens.
(22) TAX MATTERS RELATING TO THE COMPANY’S OPERATIONS
Tax laws and regulations are highly complex and subject to interpretation. Consequently, the Company is subject to changes in tax laws, treaties and regulations. The Company’s income tax expense is based upon its interpretation of the tax laws in effect at the time when the expense was incurred. A change in these tax laws, treaties or regulations, or in the interpretation thereof, which is beyond the Company’s control could result in a materially higher tax expense, which in turn may limit the financial resources available to the Company. Also, as the Company actively solicits interests for the Campaign in multiple jurisdictions, such solicitations may lead to increased tax exposures for the Company.
In addition, the Company’s tax payments may be subject to review or investigation by tax authorities from time to time. If any tax authority successfully challenges the Company’s operational structure, or if the Company loses a material tax dispute, or any tax challenge of the Company’s tax payments is successful, the Company’s tax liabilities could increase substantially and the Company’s financial resources could be adversely impaired.
(23) TAX MATTERS RELATING TO PARTICIPATION IN THE CAMPAIGN
Participation in the Campaign may have tax reporting implications and liabilities for Purchasers from certain jurisdictions. Such liabilities shall be borne by the Purchasers alone and all Purchasers are advised to consult their tax advisors prior to participating in the Campaign.
(24) PERSONAL CONNECTIONS WITH PARTICULAR JURISDICTIONS
Residents, tax residents or persons having a relevant connection with certain jurisdictions are excluded from the Token Sale. Changes in a Purchaser’s place of domicile or the applicable law may result in a Purchaser violating legal or regulatory requirements of the applicable jurisdiction.
Purchasers are responsible for ensuring that the delivery, holding, use or exchange of FF Tokens is, and remains lawful despite changes to applicable laws, residence and circumstances.
(25) FURTHER TOKEN SALES AND DEVELOPMENT AND SALE OF ADDITIONAL TOKENS
The Company may, from time to time, and without prior notice or consultation, sell additional FF Tokens outside of the Token Sale from FF Tokens’ reserve. Further, the Company may develop and sell additional FF Tokens it deems necessary. Purchasers will not necessarily receive notice of the sale of additional FF Tokens or of any other tokens or fundraising means.
(26) UNANTICIPATED RISKS
Cryptographic tokens such as the FF Tokens are a new and relatively untested technology. In addition to the risks noted above, there are other risks associated with your purchase, holding and use of FF Tokens, including those that the Company cannot anticipate. Such risks may further materialise as unanticipated variations or combinations of the risks set out above.
(27) FAILURE TO OBTAIN LICENCES
Whilst the Company aims to obtain all necessary licences, approvals and permits under any applicable jurisdiction from the government and licencing authority, such application is beyond the control of the Company and may result in the Company’s failure to obtain such licences, approvals and permits. This may result in the Company’s failure to provide any services as indicated under the White Paper, the Website and/or these Terms and Conditions.
