#4. Accepted Currencies, Exchange Amount, Minimum And Maximum Exchange Amounts, And Transfer Procedure

#Exchanges only through the Designated Web Address

(a) the Foundation shall have no obligation to deliver, and you shall have no right to receive, any Tokens;

(b) the Foundation shall have no obligation to provide, and you shall have no right to receive, any refund for any part of the Exchange Amount transferred by you through such other website or place; and

#Accepted currencies for Exchange

4.2 The Foundation shall accept, as consideration for Exchange for Tokens, ETH, BTC and EUR. No other legal tender, fiat currencies, cryptocurrencies, blockchain assets or tokens shall be accepted as consideration for Exchange for Tokens. Subject to the provisions of these Terms, your Exchange for Tokens under these Terms shall be deemed to be a confirmed Exchange only upon:

(a) in the case of a transfer of Euro, [such consideration being received in the Designated Bank Account and your receipt of an email confirmation on the Foundation’s receipt of such consideration]; or

(b) in the case of a transfer of ETH or BTC, validation and verification on the relevant blockchain that your transfer of ETH or BTC (as the case may be) to the Designated Address, as consideration for your intended Exchange for Tokens, is successful and complete.

#Exchange Amount

4.3 The consideration for Exchange for Tokens (the ”Exchange Amount”) in the Token Exchange shall be EUR 0.22 for each Token or the ETH or BTC equivalent based on such relevant Applicable Exchange Rate as published on a leading cryptocurrency exchange as may be determined by the Foundation in its sole and absolute discretion. Any fractional number of Tokens which you are entitled tox receive for a confirmed Exchange for Tokens (to the extent not rejected by the Foundation in accordance with these Terms), determined based on the Exchange Amount for such confirmed Exchange in the Exchange Currency - whether in ETH, BTC or EUR - as received at the Designated Address or the Designated Bank Account (as the case may be), shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Token. Notwithstanding the foregoing of this Paragraph 4.3, the Foundation reserves the right to adjust, in its sole and absolute discretion, the Exchange Amount at any time during the Exchange Period.

4.4 The Applicable Exchange Rate indicated on the Designated Web Address in respect of your intended Exchange for Tokens at the point of transfer of the Exchange Amount shall be applicable to, and valid for, your intended Exchange for Tokens. In the event that:

(a) your transfer of the Exchange Amount to the Designated Address for your intended Exchange for Tokens based on the relevant Applicable Exchange Rate is validated and verified on the relevant blockchain as successful and complete only after the Exchange Expiry Time; or

(b) the amount of Exchange Amount to the extent denominated in ETH or BTC transferred to the Designated Address and which is validated and verified on the relevant blockchain as successful and complete is less than the Exchange Amount applicable to your intended Exchange for Tokens based on the relevant Applicable Exchange Rate,

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT:

(i) the Foundation may, notwithstanding any provision in these Terms, elect in its sole and absolute discretion to reject your transfer of the Exchange Amount and, subject to paragraph 4.4(ii), provide a refund of such Exchange Amount in full or in part without interest and net of all administrative and/or third party charges and/or other transaction fees (if any) that may be incurred in connection with such refund, in which case such administrative and/or third party charges and/or other transaction fees (if any) incurred in connection with such refund shall be borne by you;
(ii) the Foundation shall be entitled to charge an administrative fee of 0.2 ETH (in the case of a transfer made in ETH) or 0.007 BTC (in the case of a transfer made in BTC) for any further attempted transfer of the Exchange Amount to the Designated Address after the Exchange Expiry Time after the first attempted transfer of the Exchange Amount to the Designated Address;
(iii) save for any refund that the Foundation may elect to provide under Paragraph 4.4(i), the Foundation shall have no obligations in any form or manner whatsoever to you in respect of such attempted transfer of the Exchange Amount to the Designated Address; and
(iv) save for your right to such refund under Paragraph 4.4(i), you hereby waive all rights, claims and/or courses of action (present or future) under law (including any tortious claims) or contract against the Foundation or any of the Indemnified Persons in connection with or arising from such attempted transfer of the Exchange Amount, and shall further hold harmless, the Foundation and the Indemnified Persons from and against any and all losses, damages, taxes, liabilities and expenses that may be incurred by you in connection with or arising from such attempted transfer of the Exchange Amount.

Please note that if your transfer of the exchange amount for your intended exchange for tokens based on the applicable exchange rate is not received at the designated address within the exchange period, such attempted exchange and such applicable exchange rate will be void.

#Minimum Exchange Amount

4.5 The minimum Exchange Amount for each Exchange for Tokens is EUR 100 (or the ETH or BTC equivalent based on the Applicable Exchange Rate) (excluding all administrative and/or third party charges and/or other transaction fees (if any) that may be incurred by you in connection with such transfer of Exchange Amount) (the ”Minimum Exchange Amount”).

4.6 In the event that you attempt to Exchange for Tokens of an amount less than the Minimum Exchange Amount, you acknowledge and agree that:

(a) provided that:

(i) in the case of a transfer of Euro, [such consideration being received in the Designated Bank Account and your receipt of an email confirmation on the Foundation’s receipt of such consideration];
(ii) in the case of a transfer of ETH or BTC, your transfer of ETH or BTC to the Designated Address for such attempted Exchange for Tokens is validated and verified on the relevant blockchain as successful and complete and notwithstanding any provision in these Terms, the Foundation may, subject to Paragraph 4.6(b) and at its sole and absolute discretion, provide a refund of such transfer in full or in part without interest and net of all administrative and/or third party charges and/or other transaction fees (if any) that may be incurred in connection with such refund, in which case such administrative and/or third party charges and/or other transaction fees (if any) incurred in connection with such refund shall be borne by you;

(b) the Foundation shall be entitled to charge an administrative fee of 0.2 ETH (in the case of a transfer made in ETH) or 0.007 BTC (in the case of a transfer made in BTC) or EUR 25 (in the case of a transfer made in Euro) for any further attempted Exchange for Tokens of an amount less than the Minimum Exchange Amount after the first attempted Exchange;

(c) save for any refund that the Foundation may elect to provide under Paragraph 4.6(a), the Foundation shall have no obligations in any form or manner whatsoever to you in respect of such attempted Exchange; and

4.7 The Exchange Amount shall be exclusive of all administrative and/or third party charges and/or other transaction fees (if any) that may be incurred in connection with your transfer of the Exchange Currency for your intended Exchange for Tokens. Any such administrative and/or third party charges and/or other transaction fees (if any) incurred in connection with your transfer of the Exchange Amount for your intended Exchange for Tokens shall be borne by you.

It shall be your sole responsibility to ensure that:

(a) the amount of remittance fees, transaction fees, administrative charges and/or any other fees payable in connection with your transfer of Euro, for your intended Exchange for Tokens, is sufficient for your transfer such that the full Exchange Amount for your intended Exchange for Tokens is received at the Designated Bank Account; and

(b) the amount of transaction fees paid by you in connection with your transfer of ETH or BTC, for your intended Exchange for Tokens, is sufficient for your transfer to be validated and verified on the relevant blockchain as a successful and complete transfer prior to the Exchange Expiry Time.

Any amount(s) of transaction fees recommended by the Foundation through the Channels or any other public or private communication channel is only indicative, and may not be representative or reflective of the actual amount(s) of transaction fees required for your transfer to be validated and verified on the relevant blockchain as a successful and complete transfer prior to the Exchange Expiry Time. Accordingly, there is no assurance that any amount(s) of transaction fees recommended by the Foundation through the Channels or any other public or private communication channel will be sufficient for your transfer to be validated and verified on the relevant blockchain as a successful and complete transfer prior to the Exchange Expiry Time.

4.11 Any transfer of ETH or BTC (as the case may be) as Exchange Amount for your intended Exchange for Tokens in the Token Exchange shall be made to only the Designated Address and no other address. In the event that any transfer is made to any address or place other than the Designated Address, or made after the expiry of the Exchange Period, you agree and acknowledge that:

(a) the Foundation does not, and is under no obligation to, maintain or monitor such Designated Address, and such Exchange Amount will not be received by the Foundation and shall be regarded by the Foundation as invalid transfers, and the Foundation shall not be under any obligation whatsoever to deliver any Tokens to you or to provide any refund for any transfers of ETH or BTC (as the case may be) made by you;

(b) the Foundation shall not be obliged to deliver any Tokens to you and shall have no obligations in any form or manner whatsoever to you in respect of such attempted Exchange; and

It is your sole responsibility to ensure that there is no attempt to double spend and that your transfer of ETH, BTC or EUR as exchange amount for the exchange for tokens is not in violation of any applicable laws, regulations or rules if your intention is not for paragraph 4.12 to apply to your exchange for tokens.

#5. Responsibility To Establish And Maintain Cryptocurrency Wallet And Address

#Annex 2 - Risk Factors

YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER AND EVALUATE EACH OF THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS AND ALL OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE TERMS BEFORE DECIDING TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TOKEN EXCHANGE. TO THE BEST OF THE FOUNDATION’S KNOWLEDGE AND BELIEF, ALL RISK FACTORS WHICH ARE MATERIAL TO YOU IN MAKING AN INFORMED JUDGEMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TOKEN EXCHANGE 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 FOUNDATION AND THE DEVELOPMENT, MAINTENANCE AND LEVEL OF USAGE OF THE OCEAN PROTOCOL NETWORK COULD BE MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECTED. IN SUCH CASES, THE TRADING PRICE OF TOKENS (IN THE CASE WHERE THEY ARE LISTED ON A CRYPTOCURRENCY EXCHANGE) COULD DECLINE DUE TO ANY OF THESE CONSIDERATIONS, UNCERTAINTIES OR MATERIAL RISKS, AND YOU MAY LOSE ALL OR PART OF YOUR TOKENS.

#1. RISKS RELATING TO PARTICIPATION IN THE TOKEN EXCHANGE

#1.1 There is no prior market for the Tokens and the Token Exchange may not result in an active or liquid market for the Tokens

The Tokens are intended to be native tokens to be used on the Ocean Protocol Network, and the Foundation has not and may not actively facilitate any secondary trading or external exchange of Tokens. In addition, there is and has been no public market for the Tokens. In the event that the Tokens are traded on a cryptocurrency exchange, there is no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for the Tokens will develop or if developed, be sustained after the Tokens have been made available for trading on such cryptocurrency exchange. There is also no assurance that the market price of the Tokens will not decline below the value at which it was exchanged for (”Exchange Value”). The Exchange Value may not be indicative of the market price of the Tokens after they have been made available for trading on a cryptocurrency exchange.

A Token is not a currency issued by any central bank or national, supra-national or quasi-national organisation, nor is it backed by any hard assets or other credit. The Foundation is not responsible for nor does it pursue the circulation and trading of the Tokens on the market. Trading of the Tokens merely depends on the consensus on its value between the relevant market participants, and no one is obliged to acquire any Token from any holder of the Token, including the acquirors of the Tokens in the Token Exchange, nor does anyone guarantee the liquidity or market price of the Tokens to any extent at any time. Accordingly, the Foundation cannot ensure that there will be any demand or market for the Tokens, or that the Exchange Value is indicative of the market price of the Tokens after they have been made available for trading on a cryptocurrency exchange.

#1.2 Negative publicity may materially and adversely affect the price of the Tokens

Negative publicity involving (a) the Foundation; (b) the Ocean Protocol Network; (c) the Tokens; and/or (d) any of the key personnel of the Foundation, may materially and adversely affect the market perception or market price of the Tokens, whether or not such publicity is justified.

#1.3 There is no assurance of any success of the Ocean Protocol Network

The value of, and demand for, the Tokens hinges heavily on the performance of the Ocean Protocol Network. There is no assurance that the Ocean Protocol Network will gain traction after its launch and achieve any commercial success.

The Ocean Protocol Network has not been fully developed, finalised and integrated and is subject to further changes, updates and adjustments prior to its launch. Such changes may result in unexpected and unforeseen effects on its projected appeal to users, and hence impact its success.

While the Foundation has made every effort to provide a realistic estimate, there is also no assurance that the cryptocurrencies raised in the Token Exchange will be sufficient for the development and integration of the Ocean Protocol Network. For the foregoing or any other reason, the development and integration of the Ocean Protocol Network may not be completed and there is no assurance that it will be launched at all. As such, distributed Tokens may hold little worth or value, and this would impact its trading price.

#1.4 The trading price of the Tokens may fluctuate following the Token Exchange

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 corresponding the 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 Foundation:

(a) new technical innovations;

(b) analysts’ speculations, recommendations, perceptions or estimates of the Tokens’ market price or the Foundation’s financial and business performance;

(c) changes in market valuations and token prices of entities with operations similar to that of the Foundation that may be made available for sale and purchase on the same cryptocurrency exchanges as the Tokens;

(d) announcements by the Foundation of significant events, for example partnerships, sponsorships, new product developments;

(e) fluctuations in market prices and trading volume of cryptocurrencies on cryptocurrency exchanges;

(f) additions or departures of key personnel and/or advisors of the Foundation;

(h) success or failure of the management of the Foundation in implementing business and growth strategies; and

(i) changes in conditions affecting the blockchain or financial technology industry, the general economic conditions or market sentiments, or other events or factors.

#1.5 The digital assets raised in the Token Exchange are exposed to risks of theft

Whilst the Foundation will make every effort to ensure that digital assets (such as cryptocurrencies, blockchain assets and/or cryptographic tokens) received from the Token Exchange are securely held at its Designated Address(es) or Receiving Address(es) through the implementation of security measures, there is no assurance that there will be no theft of the cryptocurrencies as a result of hacks, mining attacks (including but not limited to double-spend attacks, majority mining power attacks and “selfish-mining” attacks), sophisticated cyber-attacks, distributed denials of service or errors, vulnerabilities or defects on such Designated Address(es), Receiving Address(es), the Ethereum blockchain, the Bitcoin 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 Exchange is completed, the Foundation may not be able to receive the cryptocurrencies raised and the Foundation may not be able to utilise such funds for the development of the Ocean Protocol Network, and the launch of the Ocean Protocol Network might be temporarily or permanently curtailed. As such, the issued Tokens may hold little worth or value, and this would impact its trading price. The Tokens are uninsured, unless you specifically obtain private insurance to insure them. In the event of any loss or loss of value, you may have no recourse.

#1.6 The acquiror may be subject to adverse legal and/or tax implications as a result of the acquisition or transfer of the Tokens

The legal character of cryptocurrency and cryptographic assets remain uncertain. There is a risk that the Tokens may be considered securities in certain jurisdictions, or may be considered to be securities in certain jurisdictions in the future. The Foundation does not provide any warranty or guarantee as to how the Tokens will be classified, and each acquiror will bear all consequences of the Tokens being considered securities in their respective jurisdictions, and bear the responsibility of the legality, use and transfer of the Tokens in the relevant jurisdictions.

Further, the tax treatment of the acquisition or disposal of such cryptocurrency or cryptographic assets might depend on whether they are classified as securities, assets, currency or otherwise. As the tax characterisation of the Tokens remains indeterminate, acquirors must seek their own tax advice in connection with the exchange for the Tokens, which may result in adverse tax consequences or tax reporting requirements for the acquiror.

As the Tokens may be traded on third-party cryptocurrency exchanges in the future, acquirors may buy or sell the Tokens on such exchanges. Existing laws on the circulation or transaction of cryptocurrency or cryptographic tokens in certain jurisdictions may prohibit the transaction or exchange of the Tokens in such jurisdictions or to residents of such jurisdictions. Acquirors must be aware of the restrictions on the secondary trading or external exchange of the Tokens and seek their own legal advice in connection therewith.

#2. RISKS RELATING TO THE DESIGNATED ADDRESS(ES) AND RECEIVING ADDRESS(ES)

#2.1 The Designated Address(es) and Receiving Address(es) may be compromised and the cryptocurrencies may not be able to be disbursed

The Designated Address(es) and Receiving Address(es) are designed to be secure. However, in the event that the Designated Address(es) and Receiving Address(es) are, for any reason compromised (including but not limited to scenarios of the loss of keys to such Designated Address(es) and Receiving Address(es)), the funds held at the Designated Address(es) and Receiving Address(es) may not be able to be retrieved and disbursed, and may be permanently unrecoverable. In such event, even if the Token Exchange is successful, the Foundation will not be able to receive the funds raised and the Foundation will not be able to utilise such funds for the development of the Ocean Protocol Network, and the implementation of the Ocean Protocol Network might be temporarily or permanently curtailed. As such, distributed Tokens may hold little worth or value, and this would impact its trading price.

#2.2 The loss or compromise of information relating to your Ocean Wallet may affect your access and possession of the Tokens

Your access to the Tokens in the Ocean Wallet depends on, among other things, the safeguards to the information to such Ocean Wallet, including but not limited to the user account information, address, private key and password. In the event that any of the foregoing is lost or compromised, your access to the Ocean Wallet may be curtailed and thereby adversely affecting your access and possession to the Tokens, including such Tokens being unrecoverable and permanently lost.

#3. RISKS RELATING TO THE FOUNDATION

#3.1 The Foundation may be materially and adversely affected if it fails to effectively manage its operations as its business develops and evolves, which would have a direct impact on its ability to maintain the Ocean Protocol Network and consequently the trading price of the Tokens.

The financial technology and cryptocurrency industries and the markets in which the Foundation operates in have grown rapidly and continue to grow rapidly and evolve in response to new technological advances, changing business models and other factors. As a result of this constantly changing environment, the Foundation may face operational difficulties in adjusting to the changes, and the sustainability of the Foundation will depend on its ability to manage its operations, adapt to technological advances and market trends and ensure that it hires qualified and competent employees, and provide proper training for its personnel.

As its business evolves, the Foundation must also expand and adapt its operational infrastructure. The Foundation’s business relies on its blockchain-based software systems, cryptocurrency wallets or other related token storage mechanisms, blockchain technology and smart contract technology, and to manage technical support infrastructure for the Ocean Protocol Networkeffectively, the Foundation 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, are likely to be complex and increasingly rely on hosted computer services from third parties that the Foundation does not control. If the Foundation is unable to adapt its systems and organisation in a timely, efficient and cost-effective manner to accommodate changing circumstances, its business strategies, results of operations and prospectus may be adversely affected. If the third parties whom the Foundation relies on are subject to a security breach or otherwise suffer disruptions that impact the services the Foundation utilises, the integrity and availability of its internal information could be compromised, which may consequently cause the loss of confidential or proprietary information, and economic loss.

The loss of financial, labour or other resources, and any other adverse effect on the Foundation’s business strategies, results of operations and prospects, would have a direct adverse effect on the Foundation’s ability to maintain the Ocean Protocol Network. As the Ocean Protocol Network is the main product to which the Tokens relate, this may adversely impact the trading price of the Tokens.

#3.2 There may be weaknesses, vulnerabilities or bugs in the Tokens’ smart contract

The Foundation will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the smart contracts underlying the Tokens are audited, tested and approved by technical experts. However, as smart contract technology is still in its early stage of development and its application of experimental nature carries significant operation, technological, financial, regulatory and reputational risks, there are inherent risks that such smart contracts could contain weaknesses, vulnerabilities or bugs.

Acquirors of the Tokens should understand and accept that there are no warranties that the Tokens are fit for a particular purpose or do not contain any weaknesses, vulnerabilities or bugs which would cause loss in their worth or value. In the event that any of the aforementioned risks materialises, the Foundation’s business strategies, results of operations and prospects may also be adversely affected.

#3.3 The Foundation may experience system failures, unplanned interruptions in its network or services, hardware or software defects, security breaches or other causes that could adversely affect the Foundation’s infrastructure network, and/or the Ocean Protocol Network

The Foundation is unable to anticipate when there would be occurrences of hacks, cyber-attacks, mining attacks (including but not limited to double-spend attacks, majority mining power attacks and “selfish-mining” attacks), distributed denials of service or errors, vulnerabilities or defects in the Ocean Protocol Network, the Tokens, the Designated Address(es), the Receiving Address(es), the Ocean Wallet, the Ethereum Wallet, the Bitcoin Wallet or any technology (including but not limited to smart contract technology) on which the Foundation, the Ocean Protocol Network, the Tokens, the Designated Address(es), the Receiving Address(es), the Ethereum Wallet, the Bitcoin Wallet and/or the Ocean Wallet relies or on the Ethereum blockchain, the Bitcoin blockchain or any other blockchain. Such events may include, for example, flaws in programming or source code leading to exploitation or abuse thereof. The Foundation may not be able to detect such hacks, mining attacks (including but not limited to double-spend attacks, majority mining power attacks and “selfish-mining” attacks), cyber-attacks, distributed denials of service errors vulnerabilities or defects in a timely manner, and may not have sufficient resources to efficiently cope with multiple service incidents happening simultaneously or in rapid succession.

The Foundation’s network or services, which would include the Ocean Protocol Network, could be disrupted by numerous events, including natural disasters, equipment breakdown, network connectivity downtime, power losses, or even intentional disruptions of its services, such as disruptions caused by software viruses or attacks by unauthorised users, some of which are beyond the Foundation’s control. Although the Foundation will be taking steps against malicious attacks on its appliances or its infrastructure, which are critical for the maintenance of the Ocean Protocol Network and its other services, there can be no assurance that cyber-attacks, such as distributed denials of service, will not be attempted in the future, and that any of the Foundation’s intended enhanced security measures will be effective. The Foundation may also be prone to attacks on its infrastructure intended to steal information about its technology, financial data or user information or take other actions that would be damaging to the Foundation and users of the Ocean Protocol Network. Any significant breach of the Foundation’s intended security measures or other disruptions resulting in a compromise of the usability, stability and security of the Foundation’s network or services (including the Ocean Protocol Network) may adversely affect the trading price of the Tokens.

#3.4 The Foundation is dependent in part on the location and data centre facilities of third parties

The Foundation’s infrastructure network will be in part established through servers that which it owns and houses at the location facilities of third parties, and servers that it rents at data centre facilities of third parties. If the Foundation is unable to renew its data facility lease on commercially reasonable terms or at all, the Foundation may be required to transfer its servers to a new data centre facility, and may incur significant costs and possible service interruption in connection with the relocation.

These facilities are also vulnerable to damage or interruption from, among others, natural disasters, arson, terrorist attacks, power losses, and telecommunication failures. Additionally, the third party providers of such facilities may suffer a breach of security as a result of third party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, and a third party may obtain unauthorised access to the data in such servers. As techniques used to obtain unauthorised access to, or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognised until launched against a target, the Foundation and the providers of such facilities may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventive measures. Any such security breaches or damages which occur which impact upon the Foundation’s infrastructure network and/or the Ocean Protocol Network may adversely impact the price of the Tokens.

#3.5 General global market and economic conditions may have an adverse impact on the Foundation’s operating performance, results of operations and cash flows

The Foundation could be affected by general global economic and market conditions. Challenging economic conditions worldwide have from time to time, contributed, and may continue to contribute, to slowdowns in the information technology industry at large. Weakness in the economy may have a negative effect on the Foundation’s business strategies, results of operations and prospects. Additionally, in a down-cycle economic environment, the Foundation may experience the negative effects of a slowdown in commerce and usage of the Ocean Protocol Network. Suppliers on which the Foundation relies for servers, bandwidth, location and other services could also be negatively impacted by economic conditions that, in turn, could have a negative impact on the Foundation’s operations or expenses. 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 Foundation’s business strategies, results of operations and prospects and hence the Ocean Protocol Network, which would correspondingly impact the trading price of the Tokens.

#3.6 The Foundation or the Tokens may be affected by newly implemented regulations

Cryptocurrency trading is generally unregulated worldwide, but numerous regulatory authorities across jurisdictions have been outspoken about considering the implementation of regulatory regimes which govern cryptocurrency or cryptocurrency markets. The Foundation or the Tokens may be affected by newly implemented regulations relating to cryptocurrencies or cryptocurrency markets, including having to take measures to comply with such regulations, or having to deal with queries, notices, requests or enforcement actions by regulatory authorities, which may come at a substantial cost and may also require substantial modifications to the Ocean Protocol Network. This may impact the appeal of the Ocean Protocol Network for users and result in decreased usage of the Ocean Protocol Network.

Further, should the costs (financial or otherwise) of complying with such newly implemented regulations exceed a certain threshold, maintaining the Ocean Protocol Network may no longer be commercially viable and the Foundation may opt to discontinue the Ocean Protocol Network and/or the Tokens. Further, it is difficult to predict how or whether governments or regulatory authorities may implement any changes to laws and regulations affecting distributed ledger technology and its applications, including the Ocean Protocol Network and the Tokens. The Foundation may also have to cease operations in a jurisdiction that makes it illegal to operate in such jurisdiction, or make it commercially unviable or undesirable to obtain the necessary regulatory approval(s) to operate in such jurisdiction. In scenarios such as the foregoing, the trading price of the Tokens will be adversely affected or the Tokens may cease to be traded.

#3.7 There may be risks relating to acts of God, natural disasters, wars, terrorist attacks, riots, civil commotions widespread communicable diseases and other force majeure events beyond the control of the Foundation

The Token Exchange and the performance of the Foundation’s activities may be interrupted, suspended or delayed due to acts of God, natural disasters, wars, terrorist attacks, riots, civil commotions, widespread communicable diseases and other force majeure events beyond the control of the Foundation. Such events could also lead to uncertainty in the economic outlook of global markets and there is no assurance that such markets will not be affected, or that recovery from the global financial crisis would continue. In such events, the Foundation’s business strategies, results of operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected. Further, if an outbreak of such infectious or communicable diseases occurs in any of the countries in which the Foundation, the developers, data providers or data consumers have operations in the future, market sentiment could be adversely affected and this may have a negative impact on the Ocean Protocol Network and community.

#3.8 There may be unanticipated risks arising from the Tokens

Cryptographic tokens such as the Tokens are a relatively new and dynamic technology. In addition to the risks highlighted herein, there are other risks associated with your exchange for, holding and use of the Tokens, including those that the Foundation cannot anticipate. Such risks may further materialise as unanticipated variations or combinations of the risks discussed herein.
