       is an entity acting as trustee, agent, representative or nominee for an individual     , who is a not an Eligible User or a foreign shell bank.

Exhibit B

RESTRICTED JURISDICTIONS

The GIFTs are offered for sale in several jurisdictions provided that such sale is not subject to specific limitations under applicable laws and complies with the requirements set by such applicable laws.

Users are expressly required to inform themselves about applicable laws and regulations as well as to observe and comply with such restrictions. These Terms may not be communicated, used for or in connection with any offer to, or solicitation by, anyone in any jurisdiction or in any circumstances in which such offer or solicitation is not authorized or is unlawful.

Each User undertakes to strictly comply with all applicable laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers or sells GIFTs, in all cases at its own expense, and must obtain any consent, approval or permission required for the purchase, offer or sale by it of GIFTs under the laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction to which it is subject or in which it makes such purchases, offers or sales, and the Company shall not have any responsibility therefore.

 

IF YOU ARE UNAWARE OF YOUR STATUS, SEEK THE OPINION OF A QUALIFIED LEGAL CONSULTANT IN THE JURISDICTION OF YOUR CITIZENSHIP.

FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN REGULATORY, CRIMINAL OR FRAUD ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES DIRECTED AT YOU AS A RESULT OF YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE TOKEN SALE.

IT IS YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE YOU COMPLY WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET OUT IN THESE TERMS REGARDING RESTRICTED JURISDICTIONS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The GIFTs are specifically not directed at:

(i)     Any individual or entity that resides or is otherwise established in a jurisdiction in which applicable laws prohibit or otherwise restrict owning tokens or transacting therewith, or in which public authorities inflicted administrative or criminal sanctions which result in a prohibition of specific activities involving tokens, such as notably the People’s Republic of China.

(ii)    Any individual or entity that resides or is otherwise established in a jurisdiction in which tokens are deemed securities and/or in which the sale would require the Company to comply with financial regulations, notably any filings and authorizations required thereby

(iii)   Any individual or entity that resides or is otherwise established in a jurisdiction being blacklisted by the Financial Action Task Force.

(iv)   Any individual or entity national or resident, or having its registered office in a country banned by the Company upon its sole discretion.

all the foregoing hereinafter referred to as “Restricted Jurisdiction(s)”.

The information contained in the Terms shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the GIFTs in any Restricted Jurisdiction.

Individuals who are not Eligible Users but purchase GIFTs by providing false or inaccurate information about their citizenship, residency and/or nationality shall be in breach of these Terms and shall indemnify the Company in respect of any damages and/or loses suffered due to this breach in accordance with the indemnification provisions set out in these Terms.

No action has been or will be taken by the Company (as such term is later defined) that would, or is intended to, permit a public offering of the GIFTs, or possession or distribution of these Terms or any other offering material, in any Restricted Jurisdiction.

 

 

Exhibit C

CERTAIN RISKS RELATING TO PURCHASE, SALE AND USE OF

THE GIFTS

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 THIS APPENDIX B, (II) ANY ERROR, OMISSION, OR INACCURACY IN ANY SUCH INFORMATION OR (III) ANY ACTION RESULTING FROM SUCH INFORMATION.

Regulatory risk

 

You are aware that new or changing laws and regulations or interpretations of existing laws and regulations in various jurisdictions may materially and adversely impact the value and/or functionality of the GIFTs, or other parameters related thereto (for instance, liquidity, marketplaces, rights, transferability). Notably, such regulatory developments could negatively impact the GIFTs through a determination that they are regulated financial instruments that require registration, that their use is unlawful or subject to conditions which render it commercially undesirable to continue running the Website and/or the Application.

The industry is new, and may be subject to heightened oversight and scrutiny, including investigations or enforcement actions. There can be no assurance that governmental authorities will not examine the operations of Company and/or pursue enforcement actions against it. Such governmental activities may or may not be the result of targeting the Company in particular. All of this may subject the Company to judgments, settlements, 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 its reputation or lead to higher operational costs, which may in turn have a material adverse effect on the GIFTs.

The tax characterization of GIFTs is uncertain. You must seek Your own tax advice in connection with the GIFTs, which may result in adverse tax consequences to You, including withholding taxes, income taxes and tax reporting requirements.

Blockchain ecosystem risk

The growth of the blockchain industry is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The factors affecting the further development of the cryptocurrency industry, as well as blockchain networks, include, without limitation:                                                                                                                                                                                                               

       Worldwide growth in the adoption and use of tokens, and other blockchain technologies;                        

       Government and quasi-government regulation of tokens and their use, or restrictions on or regulation of access to and operation of blockchain networks or similar systems;

       The maintenance and development of the open-source software protocol of blockchains;

       Changes in consumer demographics and public tastes and preferences;                                               

       The availability and popularity of other forms or methods of buying and selling goods and services, or trading assets including new means of using fiat currencies or existing networks;             

       General economic conditions and the regulatory environment relating to tokens ; 

       A decline in the popularity or acceptance of tokens would adversely affect our results of operations;

       A hack of the Blockchain or a smart contract;                

       Phishing websites may impact the reputation of blockchain projects;                                                    

       The slowing or stopping of the development, general acceptance and adoption and usage of blockchain networks and tokens may deter or delay the acceptance and adoption of the Website and/or Application, and the GIFTs;                                                                                     

       The prices of blockchain assets are extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the price of tokens could materially and adversely affect our business, and the GIFTs may also be subject to significant price volatility.                                                                                                       

                                                                                   

A decrease in the price of a single blockchain asset may cause volatility in the entire blockchain asset industry and may affect other blockchain assets including the Tokens. For example, a security breach that affects investor or user confidence in Bitcoin may affect the industry as a whole and may also cause the price of the GIFTs, and other blockchain assets to fluctuate

Blockchain technology risk

Blockchain itself

Because the GIFTs are based on a blockchain, any malfunction, breakdown or abandonment of such protocol may have a material adverse effect on them.

Advances in cryptography, or technical advances such as the development of quantum computing, could present risks to any tokens by rendering ineffective the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins the blockchain.

Any blockchain is prone to periodic congestion during which transactions can be delayed or lost.

Source Code

The source code underpinning the Blockchain, the GIFTs may contain flaws, bugs, defects or inconsistencies that could compromise the predictability, usability, functionality, stability and security thereof.

The Company will attempt to perform quality assurance and audit procedures to ensure the source code accurately reflects the intended functionality, though there can be no guarantee that any errors are identified, or the source code will be error-free.

In addition, source code modifications or updates may lead to unexpected or unintended outcomes that may adversely affect the Blockchain or the GIFTs. Source code modifications that constitute upgrades may be required in connection with the development of the GIFTs, and your failure to participate in any such upgrades may result in the loss their functionality.

Hacking and Security Weakness

Any tokens may be subject to expropriation and or/theft. Hackers or other malicious groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with tokens in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks and spoofing.

Furthermore, there is a risk that tokens may contain intentional or unintentional bugs or weaknesses which may negatively affect them or result in their loss, the loss of your ability to access or control them. In the event of such a software bug or weakness, there may be no remedy and holders of the tokens are not guaranteed any remedy, refund, or compensation.

Uninsured Losses

Unlike bank accounts or accounts at some other financial institutions, the GIFTs are uninsured unless you specifically obtain private insurance to insure them. Thus, in the event of loss or loss of their functionality or value, there is no public insurer or private insurance arranged by us, to offer recourse to you.

Lack of Governance Rights

Because the GIFTs confer no governance rights of any kind with respect to the Blockchain or the Company or its corporate affiliates, all decisions involving the Company and the Website and/or Application will be made by the Company at its sole discretion, including, but not limited to sell or liquidate the Company or shutdown the Website and/or the Application. These decisions could adversely affect the tokens you hold.

IN ADDITION TO THE RISKS INCLUDED IN THIS APPENDIX B, THERE ARE OTHER RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR PURCHASE, HOLDING AND USE OF THE TOKENS, INCLUDING SUCH THAT THE COMPANY CANNOT ANTICIPATE. THESE RISKS MAY FURTHER MATERIALIZE AS UNANTICIPATED VARIATIONS OR COMBINATIONS OF THE RISKS DISCUSSED IN THIS APPENDIX.

Exhibit A

 

ELIGIBLE USER

 

Anyone is an “Eligible User” except if he/she/it:

 

       is a resident or otherwise established in a Restricted Jurisdiction.

       purchases GIFTs for a beneficial owner who is a resident or is otherwise established in a Restricted Jurisdiction.

       by accessing the Website and/or the Application or purchasing GIFTs, would be in breach of the law or requirements of any country or governmental authority, including without limitation anti-money laundering regulations or conventions.

       is an entity acting as trustee, agent, representative or nominee for an individual     , who is a not an Eligible User or a foreign shell bank.

Exhibit B

RESTRICTED JURISDICTIONS

The GIFTs are offered for sale in several jurisdictions provided that such sale is not subject to specific limitations under applicable laws and complies with the requirements set by such applicable laws.

Users are expressly required to inform themselves about applicable laws and regulations as well as to observe and comply with such restrictions. These Terms may not be communicated, used for or in connection with any offer to, or solicitation by, anyone in any jurisdiction or in any circumstances in which such offer or solicitation is not authorized or is unlawful.

Each User undertakes to strictly comply with all applicable laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers or sells GIFTs, in all cases at its own expense, and must obtain any consent, approval or permission required for the purchase, offer or sale by it of GIFTs under the laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction to which it is subject or in which it makes such purchases, offers or sales, and the Company shall not have any responsibility therefore.

 

IF YOU ARE UNAWARE OF YOUR STATUS, SEEK THE OPINION OF A QUALIFIED LEGAL CONSULTANT IN THE JURISDICTION OF YOUR CITIZENSHIP.

FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN REGULATORY, CRIMINAL OR FRAUD ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES DIRECTED AT YOU AS A RESULT OF YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE TOKEN SALE.

IT IS YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE YOU COMPLY WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET OUT IN THESE TERMS REGARDING RESTRICTED JURISDICTIONS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The GIFTs are specifically not directed at:

(i)     Any individual or entity that resides or is otherwise established in a jurisdiction in which applicable laws prohibit or otherwise restrict owning tokens or transacting therewith, or in which public authorities inflicted administrative or criminal sanctions which result in a prohibition of specific activities involving tokens, such as notably the People’s Republic of China.

(ii)    Any individual or entity that resides or is otherwise established in a jurisdiction in which tokens are deemed securities and/or in which the sale would require the Company to comply with financial regulations, notably any filings and authorizations required thereby

(iii)   Any individual or entity that resides or is otherwise established in a jurisdiction being blacklisted by the Financial Action Task Force.

(iv)   Any individual or entity national or resident, or having its registered office in a country banned by the Company upon its sole discretion.

all the foregoing hereinafter referred to as “Restricted Jurisdiction(s)”.

The information contained in the Terms shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the GIFTs in any Restricted Jurisdiction.

Individuals who are not Eligible Users but purchase GIFTs by providing false or inaccurate information about their citizenship, residency and/or nationality shall be in breach of these Terms and shall indemnify the Company in respect of any damages and/or loses suffered due to this breach in accordance with the indemnification provisions set out in these Terms.

No action has been or will be taken by the Company (as such term is later defined) that would, or is intended to, permit a public offering of the GIFTs, or possession or distribution of these Terms or any other offering material, in any Restricted Jurisdiction.

 

 

Exhibit C

CERTAIN RISKS RELATING TO PURCHASE, SALE AND USE OF

THE GIFTS

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 THIS APPENDIX B, (II) ANY ERROR, OMISSION, OR INACCURACY IN ANY SUCH INFORMATION OR (III) ANY ACTION RESULTING FROM SUCH INFORMATION.

Regulatory risk

 

You are aware that new or changing laws and regulations or interpretations of existing laws and regulations in various jurisdictions may materially and adversely impact the value and/or functionality of the GIFTs, or other parameters related thereto (for instance, liquidity, marketplaces, rights, transferability). Notably, such regulatory developments could negatively impact the GIFTs through a determination that they are regulated financial instruments that require registration, that their use is unlawful or subject to conditions which render it commercially undesirable to continue running the Website and/or the Application.

The industry is new, and may be subject to heightened oversight and scrutiny, including investigations or enforcement actions. There can be no assurance that governmental authorities will not examine the operations of Company and/or pursue enforcement actions against it. Such governmental activities may or may not be the result of targeting the Company in particular. All of this may subject the Company to judgments, settlements, 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 its reputation or lead to higher operational costs, which may in turn have a material adverse effect on the GIFTs.

The tax characterization of GIFTs is uncertain. You must seek Your own tax advice in connection with the GIFTs, which may result in adverse tax consequences to You, including withholding taxes, income taxes and tax reporting requirements.

Blockchain ecosystem risk

The growth of the blockchain industry is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The factors affecting the further development of the cryptocurrency industry, as well as blockchain networks, include, without limitation:                                                                                                                                                                                                               

       Worldwide growth in the adoption and use of tokens, and other blockchain technologies;                        

       Government and quasi-government regulation of tokens and their use, or restrictions on or regulation of access to and operation of blockchain networks or similar systems;

       The maintenance and development of the open-source software protocol of blockchains;

       Changes in consumer demographics and public tastes and preferences;                                               

       The availability and popularity of other forms or methods of buying and selling goods and services, or trading assets including new means of using fiat currencies or existing networks;             

       General economic conditions and the regulatory environment relating to tokens ; 

       A decline in the popularity or acceptance of tokens would adversely affect our results of operations;

       A hack of the Blockchain or a smart contract;                

       Phishing websites may impact the reputation of blockchain projects;                                                    

       The slowing or stopping of the development, general acceptance and adoption and usage of blockchain networks and tokens may deter or delay the acceptance and adoption of the Website and/or Application, and the GIFTs;                                                                                     

       The prices of blockchain assets are extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the price of tokens could materially and adversely affect our business, and the GIFTs may also be subject to significant price volatility.                                                                                                       

                                                                                   

A decrease in the price of a single blockchain asset may cause volatility in the entire blockchain asset industry and may affect other blockchain assets including the Tokens. For example, a security breach that affects investor or user confidence in Bitcoin may affect the industry as a whole and may also cause the price of the GIFTs, and other blockchain assets to fluctuate

Blockchain technology risk

Blockchain itself

Because the GIFTs are based on a blockchain, any malfunction, breakdown or abandonment of such protocol may have a material adverse effect on them.

Advances in cryptography, or technical advances such as the development of quantum computing, could present risks to any tokens by rendering ineffective the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins the blockchain.

Any blockchain is prone to periodic congestion during which transactions can be delayed or lost.

Source Code

The source code underpinning the Blockchain, the GIFTs may contain flaws, bugs, defects or inconsistencies that could compromise the predictability, usability, functionality, stability and security thereof.

The Company will attempt to perform quality assurance and audit procedures to ensure the source code accurately reflects the intended functionality, though there can be no guarantee that any errors are identified, or the source code will be error-free.

In addition, source code modifications or updates may lead to unexpected or unintended outcomes that may adversely affect the Blockchain or the GIFTs. Source code modifications that constitute upgrades may be required in connection with the development of the GIFTs, and your failure to participate in any such upgrades may result in the loss their functionality.

Hacking and Security Weakness

Any tokens may be subject to expropriation and or/theft. Hackers or other malicious groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with tokens in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks and spoofing.

Furthermore, there is a risk that tokens may contain intentional or unintentional bugs or weaknesses which may negatively affect them or result in their loss, the loss of your ability to access or control them. In the event of such a software bug or weakness, there may be no remedy and holders of the tokens are not guaranteed any remedy, refund, or compensation.

Uninsured Losses

Unlike bank accounts or accounts at some other financial institutions, the GIFTs are uninsured unless you specifically obtain private insurance to insure them. Thus, in the event of loss or loss of their functionality or value, there is no public insurer or private insurance arranged by us, to offer recourse to you.

Lack of Governance Rights

Because the GIFTs confer no governance rights of any kind with respect to the Blockchain or the Company or its corporate affiliates, all decisions involving the Company and the Website and/or Application will be made by the Company at its sole discretion, including, but not limited to sell or liquidate the Company or shutdown the Website and/or the Application. These decisions could adversely affect the tokens you hold.

IN ADDITION TO THE RISKS INCLUDED IN THIS APPENDIX B, THERE ARE OTHER RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR PURCHASE, HOLDING AND USE OF THE TOKENS, INCLUDING SUCH THAT THE COMPANY CANNOT ANTICIPATE. THESE RISKS MAY FURTHER MATERIALIZE AS UNANTICIPATED VARIATIONS OR COMBINATIONS OF THE RISKS DISCUSSED IN THIS APPENDIX.
