SECTION 6. RISKS OF CGG TOKENS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITIES

6.1. You understand and acknowledge that CGG Tokens, Blockchain-based technologies, Ethereum, and other associated and related technologies are not exclusively (or, as appropriate, at all) controlled by the Company and adverse changes in market forces or the technology, broadly construed, may prevent or compromise the Company’s performance under these Terms. As such, the purchase of CGG Tokens carries with it a number of risks. Prior to purchasing CGG Tokens, you should carefully consider the risks listed herein and, to the extent necessary, consult an appropriate lawyer, accountant, or tax professional. If any of the risks associated with purchasing and holding of CGG Tokens is unacceptable to you, you should not purchase CGG Tokens.
6.2. The CGG Tokens will be issued on the Ethereum Blockchain. As such, any malfunction or unexpected functioning of the Ethereum protocol may impact your ability to transfer or securely hold the CGG Tokens. The Ethereum Blockchain is prone to periodic congestion during which transactions can be delayed or lost. Individuals may also intentionally spam the Ethereum network in an attempt to gain an advantage in purchasing cryptographic tokens. Such impact could adversely affect the value. You acknowledge and understand that Ethereum block producers may not include your transaction when you want or your transaction may not be included at all.
6.3. The CGG Tokens may be migrated from the Ethereum Blockchain to a different base-layer Blockchain. The process of transitioning the CGG Tokens may not be error free and may have unintended consequences.

6.4. The Company is subject to all of the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business, including the risk that the Company will not achieve its technological or operational objectives, which could result in a substantial decline in the value of your investment and/or the utility of the CGG Tokens. Before deciding to purchase the CGG Tokens, you should consider the risks and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage companies that are similar to the Company and operate in new and rapidly evolving markets, particularly those companies whose businesses depend upon developing new technologies and that rely on the internet and Blockchain-based technology. These difficulties include, among others, the ability to (i) generate or increase revenues and manage costs; (ii) increase awareness of the Company; (iii) offer compelling products or demonstrate utility; (iv) secure adoption and/or market saturation; (v) maintain current and develop new strategic relationships; (vi) respond effectively to competitive pressures; (vii) develop and upgrade technology; (viii) attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel; and (ix) raise additional capital. The Company cannot assure you that its strategy will overcome any or all of these obstacles. In addition, you should take into consideration that the initial and only material assets of the Company will be the proceeds from the sale (whether through private sale or through the CGG Token Sale) and the Company IP. It is possible that the funds generated from the Offering will be insufficient (particularly given the volatility of cryptocurrency value) to adequately develop the necessary technology for the Company and/or third party service providers to continue operating the Platform or for the Company to operate its business. This may prevent you from accessing or using one or more intended or implied functions of your CGG Tokens and adversely impact the value and/or utility of your CGG Tokens. Further, if the Company is unable to adequately develop, deploy, implement and/or market its technology, its risk of bankruptcy or insolvency (with the attendant risks for you) is higher than that of more established companies.

6.5. The Company may be subjected to a variety of cyberattacks from time to time. Such attacks could result in the disruption of hardware and software systems, loss, misuse, misappropriation and corruption of data and information, including proprietary information or personal data, interruption of Seller operations, and lost competitive advantages, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and ability to meet its strategic, operational and technological objectives. Any breach of data security that exposes or compromises the security of the Company, the Platform and its assets, including any private digital keys linked to funds generated through this Offering could result in significant losses that materially impair the Company’s ability to operate on a go-forward basis and adversely impact the value and utility of the CGG Tokens.

6.6. Information that you store or transfer through the Platform may become irretrievably lost or corrupted or temporarily unavailable due to a variety of causes, including software failures, protocol changes by third party providers, internet outages, force majeure events, or other disasters, including third party distributed denial of services attacks, scheduled or unscheduled maintenance, or other causes either within or outside of the Company’s control. The performance of the Company is subject to the following uncertainties, among others:

(i) worldwide growth in the adoption and use of Blockchain technologies;

(ii) government and quasi-government regulation of Blockchain assets and their use, or restrictions on or regulation of access to and operation of Blockchain networks or similar systems;

(iii) the maintenance and development of the open-source Blockchain protocols and networks, and the effectiveness of the informal groups of (often uncompensated) developers that contribute to the protocols that underlie the networks;

(iv) disputes among the various developers or validators of the networks;

(v) the effectiveness of network consensus mechanisms to effectively secure the networks against confirmation of invalid transactions;

(vi) the failure of cybersecurity control or other security breaches of the networks;

(vii) the existence of undiscovered technical flaws in the networks;

(viii) the costs associated with performing transactions on different networks or using different protocols;

(ix) the development of new or existing hardware or software tools or mechanism, including advances in quantum computing;

(x) changes in consumer demographics and public tastes and preferences;

(xi) 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;

(xii) general economic conditions and the regulatory environment relating to cryptocurrencies;

(xiii) hacking and theft of cryptocurrencies and tokens;

(xiv) popularity or acceptance of the cryptocurrency networks and the emergence of new cryptocurrencies and Blockchain networks; and

(xv) unfavorable developments in any of the above circumstances, or like circumstances, could adversely affect the Company’s business and the value or utility of the CGG Token.

6.7. It is possible that due to a number of reasons outside of the Company’s control, including but not limited to, changes in regulatory or intellectual property law, technological advancements, decreases in token or cryptocurrency or cryptographic token utility, social or economic reforms, the failure of commercial relationships, or the malfunction, breakdown or abandonment of the Ethereum Protocol, the Company, Blockchain-based technology, Ethereum and other related technologies may dissolve, disappear, be abandoned or otherwise no longer operate, or operate with material impairments.

6.8. The market value of cryptocurrencies (and, therefore, the potential market value of CGG Tokens) may go up or down, and the market value of cryptocurrencies have demonstrated extreme volatility. Any cryptographic tokens may not have market value. You should expect fluctuations, both down and up, in the market value (if any) of CGG Tokens that you purchase, if any, and such fluctuations may be extremely volatile, including price crashes (including to zero value) that may occur in the event of political or economic crises that cause a large-scale sell-off of CGG Tokens. In addition, there may not be a market for resale of CGG Tokens or exchanging CGG Tokens for fiat currencies, and the Company cannot and does not guarantee market liquidity for CGG Tokens or the ability to exchange CGG Tokens for fiat currencies by purchasers of CGG Tokens. In the event that the CGG Tokens are listed on an exchange or may be transferred through other means in accordance with applicable law, the potential market value of the CGG Tokens may be subject to drastic fluctuations and extreme volatility. Therefore, the price at which you purchase the CGG Tokens may not represent an accurate valuation of the CGG Tokens. Further, there is no guarantee of market liquidity for the CGG Tokens or the ability to exchange the CGG Tokens for equal value in fiat currency. If the CGG Tokens are permitted to be bought, sold, or transferred in accordance with applicable law, several factors may cause a decrease in the price and value of your CGG Tokens, including, but not limited to:

(i) global cryptocurrency supply;

(ii) global cryptocurrency demand, which can be influenced by the growth of retail merchants’ and commercial businesses’ acceptance of cryptocurrencies as payment for goods and services, the security of online cryptocurrency exchanges and digital wallets that hold cryptocurrencies, the perception that the use and holding of cryptocurrencies is safe and secure, and the regulatory restrictions on their use;

(iii) any software “fork” initiated by third party groups or individuals involved in Blockchains related to cryptocurrencies to create a new version of such cryptocurrencies, which may alter the economics of the cryptocurrencies and affect the value of the cryptocurrencies in the market;

(iv) CGG Tokens holders’ expectations with respect to the rate of inflation;

(v) changes in the software, software requirements or hardware requirements underlying a Blockchain network;

(vi) changes in the rights, obligations, incentives or rewards for the various participants in a Blockchain network;

(vii) interest rates;

(viii) fiat currency withdrawal and deposit policies of cryptocurrency exchanges and liquidity on such exchanges;

(ix) interruptions in service from or failures of major cryptocurrency exchanges;

(x) investment and trading activities of large investors, including private and registered funds, that may directly or indirectly invest in cryptocurrencies;

(xi) the existence and popularity of cryptocurrency derivative products;

(xii) monetary policies of governments, trade restrictions, currency devaluations and revaluations;

(xiii) regulatory measures, if any, that affect the trading of cryptocurrencies;

(xiv) the maintenance and development of the open-source software protocols for cryptocurrencies and related networks;

(xv) global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations; and

(xvi) expectations among market participants that the value of cryptocurrencies will soon change and the willingness of market participants to continue to acquire, own, hold, and trade cryptocurrencies and convert fiat currencies to cryptocurrencies.

6.9. The CGG Tokens are a new issue of cryptographic tokens for which there is no established public market, and an active trading market may not develop. Although the Company hopes eventually to list the CGG Tokens on a cryptocurrency exchange, there can be no assurance that such exchanges will accept the CGG Tokens for listing or maintain the listing if it is accepted. There also can be no assurance that a secondary market will develop or, if a secondary market does develop, that it will be a liquid market or that it will continue for the life of the CGG Tokens. The liquidity of any market for the CGG Tokens will depend on a number of factors, including: (i) the number of holders of CGG Tokens; (ii) the Company’s performance and financial condition; (iii) the development and performance of the Platform; (iv) the market for similar cryptographic tokens; (v) the interest of traders in making a market for the CGG Tokens; (vi) the interest of financial institutions and other enterprises in utilizing the CGG Token; (vii) regulatory developments in the cryptographic token or cryptocurrency industries and (viii) legal restrictions on transferring or selling the CGG Tokens. The cryptographic token market is a new and rapidly developing market which may be subject to substantial and unpredictable disruptions that cause significant volatility in the prices of cryptographic tokens. There can be no assurance that the market, if any, for the CGG Tokens will be free from such disruptions or that any such disruptions may not adversely affect your ability to sell your CGG Tokens. Therefore, there is no assurance that you will be able to sell your CGG Tokens at a particular time, or that the price received upon a sale, if any, will be favorable.

6.10. Because of the differences between the CGG Token and traditional investment securities, there is a risk that issues that might easily be resolved under existing laws if traditional securities were involved may not be easily resolved for the CGG Token. For example, there is little precedent on how existing law might treat the issue, fungibility, settlement finality, transfer, collateralization, sequestration, loan, hypothecation, redemption or other disposition of CGG Tokens. There is also little precedent on how existing laws might treat the rights and obligations between and among the Company, CGG Token purchasers, and ultimate holders of CGG Tokens. The occurrence of any related issue or dispute could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or the CGG Token. New developments in law may also adversely affect the treatment of the CGG Token or the Company’s business.

6.11. The regulatory landscape with respect to cryptocurrencies and cryptographic tokens, including CGG Tokens, is fast evolving. There may be uncertainty in the regulatory treatment of CGG Tokens and the CGG Token Sale in jurisdictions where the CGG Token Sale is conducted. Although the Company does not believe that CGG Tokens are securities in any jurisdiction where the CGG Token Sale is conducted, there is no assurance that relevant competent government or regulatory authorities (“Relevant Authorities”) would take a similar view, either now or in the future. Similarly, although the Company does not believe that the offer, purchase and sale of CGG Tokens are subject to any securities, commodities, derivatives or other financial law and regulation (collectively, “Regulations”), there is no guarantee that the Relevant Authorities may not subsequently determine that the CGG Token Sale is subject to Regulation and is or was not in compliance with certain Regulations. Any such different view or determination by Relevant Authorities may adversely affect the legality of the CGG Token Sale, or impose restrictions on the transfer of CGG Tokens and other regulatory requirements, which may affect the market value and liquidity of CGG Tokens.

6.12. As Blockchain networks and Blockchain assets have grown in popularity and in market size, government agencies and regulatory authorities have begun to take interest in, and in some cases regulate, their use and operation. Jurisdictions, such as, but not limited to, the European Union, the PRC, South Korea, and Japan, are currently considering, or may in the future consider, laws, guidance or other actions, which may severely impact the utility of the CGG Tokens, and the interoperability of Blockchain-based protocols generally. The many jurisdictions and regulatory frameworks that govern all or part of the ownership, holding, issuance, purchase, sale, or use of cryptocurrencies or cryptographic tokens (such as the CGG Tokens) are likely to rapidly evolve and are subject to significant uncertainty. Failure by the Company or its representatives to comply with any laws, some of which may not exist yet or are subject to interpretation and may be subject to change, could result in a variety of adverse consequences for the Company and the value and utility of the CGG Token.

6.13. The CGG Tokens are ERC20 digital tokens created under the Ethereum Blockchain. If cryptographic tokens which are created on the Ethereum network are characterized as “securities” in the US and/or other jurisdictions, the CGG Tokens may also be characterized as “securities”, and this would have a material adverse impact on whether and the way in which the CGG Tokens can be traded.

6.14. Certain jurisdictions restrict the holding, use, ownership, sale and purchase of cryptocurrencies and/or cryptographic tokens, including outright prohibition or requiring that the sale or purchase must take place on a regulated exchange or trading venue. These restrictions may become more prohibitive over time and adversely impact your ability to access a regulated exchange or trading venue in your jurisdiction, or any other jurisdiction that permits the sale or purchase of the CGG Tokens, and you may, therefore, find it difficult or unlawful to sell your CGG Tokens or any alternative cryptocurrency or cryptographic token you hold as a substitute for the CGG Tokens. There are additional risks presented by any potential token exchange service provider, if any, which might be subject to poorly understood regulatory oversight.

6.15. Unlike certain accounts with financial institutions, CGG Tokens are not insured by any governmental or regulatory entity. In the event of loss, or the loss of utility value, you may not have recourse (and shall never have recourse against the Company in accordance with these Terms) unless you obtain private insurance for your CGG Tokens at your own cost.

6.16. CGG Tokens are irredeemable, and except as otherwise set forth in these Terms, you will not have the right to any refund or exchange or otherwise force the Company to redeem your CGG Tokens for any value (monetary or in- kind).

6.17. In making a decision to participate in this Offering, it is your obligation to consult your own tax advisors regarding tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership and sale or disposition of the CGG Tokens, including, for example, sales, use and value added taxes, as well as income and withholding taxes. In addition, you are responsible to withhold, collect, report and remit any taxes that apply to the purchase of the CGG Tokens and remit such taxes to the appropriate taxing authorities. You are also responsible for reviewing all current and future tax considerations that may be relevant to you in connection with purchasing the CGG Token with your own tax advisers. You may experience adverse enforcement or other consequences in connection with purchasing CGG Tokens.

6.18. Upon a liquidation, bankruptcy or other dissolution of the Company, you will not be entitled to liquidation rights under any insolvency or bankruptcy Applicable Law.

6.19. Unless otherwise determined by the Company’s executive team, you, by holding CGG Tokens, are not entitled to voting rights or other management or control rights in or with respect to the Company. Accordingly, until such time that the Company’s executive team shall determine otherwise, the Company’s executive team will control in its sole discretion all decisions and actions of the Company, including with respect to the Platform and the Company’s operations, affiliations, corporate activities and investments. Further, any and/or all decisions made by the Company’s executive team may conflict with your interests.

6.20. The Company’s executive team will devote such time as they deem reasonably necessary to conduct the business affairs of the Company in an appropriate manner. However, such personnel may work on other projects and may undertake other technological development and business opportunities outside of the Company. Accordingly, conflicts may arise in the allocation of resources and energies. The key personnel are not restricted from engaging in any other activities, even those that are directly competitive to the Company and/or may require substantial time and resources from such Persons. As a result, the Company may not meet its objectives or milestones and the value and utility of the CGG Token may be negatively affected.

6.21. The success of the Company is expected to be significantly dependent upon the expertise and efforts of the Company’s executive team. The loss of any of these key individuals could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s operations, ability to develop, deploy, and implement the Platform or meet its objectives and milestones. No assurances can be given that such key individuals will continue to be affiliated with the Company. Notwithstanding any prior experience that key individuals may have in developing new technologies that are expected to be created by the Company, any such experience necessarily was obtained under different market conditions and with different technologies at the forefront of development. There can be no assurance that the key individuals will be able to duplicate prior levels of success.

6.22. It is possible that alternative networks or platforms could be created that utilize the same or similar open-source codes and protocols that underlie the CGG Tokens. Competition from such networks, or platforms, start-ups, established technology companies, academia, open-source efforts, and financial institutions could negatively impact the performance of the Group, the Platform and/or the value of CGG Tokens. Some of the Company’s current and potential competitors have significantly greater resources and better competitive positions in certain markets than the Company. These factors may allow such competitors to respond more effectively than the Company to new or emerging technologies and changes in market requirements. The manner and degree of competition varies greatly and competition may adversely impact, among other things, the Company’s ability to operationalize its business, develop or implement the Platform, create relationships with exchanges and increase adoption of the Platform with various connectors. In turn, if the Company is unable to successfully mitigate, or compete with, these competitive forces, the value and utility of the CGG Tokens may be negatively impacted.

6.23. It is possible that the Platform will not be used by a large number of individuals and other entities and that there will be limited public interest in the Platform or distributed ecosystems more generally. Such a lack of interest could negatively impact the development of the Platform and Services and their potential use. Therefore, the success of the Platform and Services it provides cannot be predicted.

6.24. The Platform may undergo significant changes from time to time, including changes in the design and implementation plans and execution of the implementation of the Platform. Further, the Group may be unable, despite its good faith efforts, to adequately finance the creation, deployment, maintenance and/or operation of the Platform, which may adversely impact the value and utility of CGG Tokens.

6.25. It is possible that, despite the Group’s good faith efforts to develop and maintain the Platform, the Platform may experience malfunctions or otherwise fail to be adequately developed or maintained, which may individually or collectively negatively impact the Platform and the value of CGG Tokens. Despite the Group’s good faith efforts to exclude any viruses from the Platform and secure the network and technologies interacting with the Platform, it is possible that one or more third-parties can or will introduce malicious code or other viruses into the open-source software and code underlying the Platform and/or create, undercover or exploit weaknesses in the security of the cloud-based services used in connection with the operation of the Platform. Such events may impact the continued development, deployment or operation of the Platform and/or the value of CGG Tokens.

6.26. There are risks associated with using or accessing the Platform, including, but not limited to, the failure of hardware, software and Internet connections. The Company is not responsible for the proper and/or complete transmission of the information contained in any electronic communication or of the electronic communication itself, nor for any disruption, distortion or delay in its delivery or receipt, howsoever caused. You are solely responsible for backing up and maintaining duplicate copies of any information you store on or transfer through the Platform.

6.27. You acknowledge that information transmitted over the Internet (including communications by e-mail) or Blockchain may be susceptible to unlawful access and monitoring. Further, you acknowledge that the transmission of data or information over the Internet may result in loss, interception or alteration while in transit and that all such information shall not be deemed confidential and the Company does not have any fiduciary obligation with respect to such transmitted information.

6.28. You acknowledge there may be risks associated with CGG Tokens and/or the Platform not being regulated in the jurisdictions in which CGG Tokens may be purchased, including the risks of retroactive regulatory applicability. The Company aims to be made aware of material and relevant changes to Applicable Law and Regulation in the most relevant jurisdictions in the world and shall act accordingly in the event changes to Applicable Law and Regulation impact operations of the Company, the Group or the Platform. None of the Company, the Group founders, or any Affiliates is a financial institution or currently under supervision of any financial supervisory authority. The Company does not provide any licensed financial services, such as investment services, fund management or investment advice. The CGG Token Sale is not a public offering of equity, debt or units in a collective investment scheme and consequently does not fall under the securities or any prospectus or similar disclosure regulations in the Permitted Jurisdictions.

6.29. By holding CGG Tokens, you acknowledge that you understand that while every effort will be made to further develop the Platform, it is possible that proposed post-launch developments or enhancements will never be realized.

6.30. The CGG Tokens will be stored in a wallet, which can only be accessed with a password selected by you. If you do not maintain an accurate record of the password, this may lead to the loss of your tokens. If your password protection is weak and is cracked or learned by somebody else, this may also lead to the loss of tokens.

6.31. There may be additional risks that cannot be anticipated or foreseen due to the incipience of cryptographic token technology, Blockchain-based technology, Ethereum and related technologies.

SECTION 7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

7.1. THE PLATFORM, AND SERVICES OR OTHER ITEMS OBTAINED THROUGH THE PLATFORM, AND ANY PURCHASED CGG TOKENS ARE PROVIDED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE TO YOU “AS IS” AND ON AN “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITH NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND EITHER, STATUTORY, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

THE COMPANY FURTHER DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE REGULATORY OVERSIGHT OR THE USE OR SECURITY OF ANY SUCH EXCHANGE.

7.5. THE COMPANY DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE PLATFORM AND SERVICES IT PROVIDES CANNOT BE DUPLICATED (EITHER IN PART OR IN FULL) BY A THIRD PARTY WITHOUT THE COMPANY’S PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT.

SECTION 8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

8.1. With the exception of the terms of Section 4.7 which apply to the time prior to the delivery of CGG Tokens to you, any and all purchases of CGG Tokens are final and non-refundable. By purchasing the CGG Tokens from the Company, you acknowledge that neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates are required to provide a refund for any reason, ensure any liquidity for the exchange of CGG Tokens and that you will not receive money or other compensation for any CGG Token that is not used or remains unused for any reason.

8.2. You hereby expressly agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by the Applicable Law, none of the Company, the Group, its founders, or their respective Affiliates, shall be liable to you, regardless of the basis or theory upon which the liability is claimed, for any damage or loss, including loss of business, revenue, anticipated savings, profits, or loss of or damage to data, equipment, software, or goodwill, as well as personal injury, pain and suffering, and emotional distress (direct, indirect, punitive, actual, consequential, incidental, special, exemplary or otherwise), regardless of whether such loss was foreseeable, resulting from:

8.2.1. the use of, inability to use, or availability or unavailability of the Platform or Services, material, information, software, facilities, or content of either;

8.2.2. your purchase of CGG Tokens or your use of them;

8.2.3. any change in the value of CGG Tokens or any cryptocurrency or cryptographic utility;

8.4. If Applicable Law does not permit all or any part of the above limitation of liability in contracts to apply to you, the limitations, exclusions and disclaimers will apply to you only to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

SECTION 9. INDEMNITY

9.1. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, you shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, the Group and their Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, and permitted assignees (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, suits, actions, demands, proceedings, expenses, and/or liabilities (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred and/or those necessary to successfully establish the right to indemnification), including but not limited to all claims arising from any breach of the representations and warranties and covenants in these Terms, asserted by any third party against or incurred by an Indemnified Party.

9.2. Subject to Applicable law, you expressly waive any rights you may have under Applicable Law as well as any other statute or common law principles that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release, except with respect to any claim for which the underlying action or omission giving rise to such claim has occurred prior to the first date in which you accessed or used the Platform and Services, such date being when you agreed to be legally bound by these Terms.

SECTION 10. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

10.1. Subject to Section 10.2, you acknowledge that the Company has valid, unrestricted and exclusive ownership of all rights, title and interest to use the patents, trademarks, trademark registrations, trade names, copyrights, know-how, technology and other intellectual property rights to and subsisting in the Platform, Services and CGG Tokens, and for the Company to conduct its business generally. Between you and the Company, the Company is the sole owner of all intellectual property rights currently in (and modifications to) the Platform, Services, CGG Tokens and the Website.

10.2. Except as expressly assigned in writing by the Company, all copyright and any other intellectual property of the Company, all content and other materials contained on the Platform or provided in connection with the Platform or the Services, including, without limitation, the intellectual property rights for the Platform and Services and all text, graphics, visual interfaces, photographs, trademarks, logos, artwork, computer code, designs, structures, selections, methods, algorithms, coordination, and expressions (collectively the “Materials”) are the exclusive property of the Company, a member of the Group or its licensors, each as set forth in the relevant agreement with such counterparty, and are protected by international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws.

10.3. Pursuant to these Terms, Group grants you a limited, worldwide, revocable, non- sublicensable and non-transferable license (the “License”) to use the Platform solely for your personal use in accordance with these Terms and for no other purpose (commercial or otherwise). You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, disassemble, reverse engineer, create derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store or transmit any of the Materials (the “Prohibited Actions”). Except as expressly set forth herein, these Terms do not contain any implied license (including licenses to use, access the Platform, and Services) and Group expressly reserves all rights not granted to you herein, including all rights, title and interest in the Platform and Services and any related content.

10.4. You will be in breach of these Terms if you perform or have performed on your behalf any Prohibited Action, or if you print, copy, modify, download or otherwise use or provide any other Person with access to any Materials without the express written consent of the Company. Upon such a breach, the Company may (without limiting its other rights and remedies), terminate your Account in its sole discretion, disable your access to the Platform and Services, in each case without notice to you. Upon the Company’s request, you shall immediately return or destroy any copies of the Materials in your possession.

SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS

13.1. Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of these Terms, and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with these Terms, shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the British Virgin Islands.

13.2. Suspension; Termination. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, Group reserves the right, without notice and in its sole discretion, to terminate these Terms, suspend your right to access the Platform or Services, and all related information and files without liability to you, at its sole discretion, including but not limited to, in case of your breach of these Terms or if Group believes you have committed fraud or other misconduct. Upon such discontinuation and termination of these Terms, or in the event Group terminates these Terms or revokes your right to access the Platform or Services, all rights and licenses granted to you under these Terms will immediately terminate. In the event of any Force Majeure Event (as defined below), breach of these Terms, or any other event that would make the operation or provision of the Platform or Services commercially unreasonable for Group, Group may, in its discretion and without liability to you, with or without prior notice, suspend your access to all or a portion of the Platform or Services. In the event the Group terminates these Terms, revokes your right to use or access the Platform or Services, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law (including in the event of applicable legislation change or amendment) and save where Section 4.7 is applicable, Group shall not provide you with any refund whatsoever.

13.3. Entire Agreement. These Terms are intended to fully reflect the terms of the agreement between the Parties, and shall supersede any previously or contemporaneously agreed upon terms or understanding. No provision of these Terms shall be considered waived unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Party that benefits from the enforcement of such provision. No waiver of any provision in these Terms, however, will be deemed a waiver of a subsequent breach of such provision or a waiver of a similar provision. In addition, a waiver of any breach or a failure to enforce any term or condition of these Terms will not in any way affect, limit, or waive a Party’s rights hereunder at any time to enforce strict compliance thereafter with every term and condition hereof.

13.4. Assignment. The Company may, at its sole discretion, assign any of its rights and/or delegate its duties under these Terms (including, but not limited to any and all intellectual property rights in or to all technology, software, and code relating to the Platform and Services). You may not assign your rights or delegate your duties as a user of the Platform or Services, or as a purchaser of CGG Tokens, and any assignment or delegation without the written consent of the Company, which the Company may withhold at its sole discretion, shall be null and void.

13.5. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the Parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the Parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

13.6. Electronic Notices. You agree and consent to receive electronically all communications, agreements, documents, receipts, notices and disclosures (hereinafter, the “Communications”) that Group provides in connection with your use of the Platform or Services. You agree that Group may provide these Communications to you by posting them on the Platform or Services or by emailing them to you at the email address you provide. You may also contact Group at info@chainguardians.io to request additional electronic copies of Communications. You may withdraw your consent to receive certain marketing and promotional electronic Communications by sending a withdrawal notice to support email info@chainguardians.io. However, if you do so, Group may in its sole discretion suspend or terminate your use of the Platform. In case you do not intend to cease or terminate your Platform use, you cannot withdraw your consent to receive all electronic Communications.

13.7. Tax Issues. The Company makes no representations concerning the tax implications of the sale of CGG Tokens or the possession or use of them. You bear the sole responsibility to determine if the purchase of CGG Tokens with cryptocurrency or the potential appreciation or depreciation in the value of CGG Tokens over time has tax implications for you in your home jurisdiction. By purchasing CGG Tokens, and to the extent permitted by law, you agree to be solely responsible for any applicable taxes imposed on, and agree not to hold the Company liable for any tax liability associated with or arising from your purchase, possession, or transfer of CGG Tokens. All fees and charges payable by you to the Company are exclusive of any taxes, and shall certain taxes be applicable, they shall be added on top of the payable amounts. Upon the Company’s request, you will provide it any information it reasonably requests to determine whether it is obligated to collect VAT from you, including your VAT identification number. If any deduction or withholding is required by Applicable Law, you will notify the Company and will pay the Company any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the net amount that the Company receives, after any deduction and withholding, equals the amount the Company would have received if no deduction or withholding had been required. Additionally, you will provide the Company with documentation showing that the withheld and deducted amounts have been paid to the relevant taxing authority. To the extent the Company is responsible for remitting any withholding taxes or value added or similar taxes, your allocation of CGG Tokens shall be reduced to the extent such taxes are required to be remitted by the Company. The Company wishes to make you aware that future use of the CGG Tokens by you when transacting with the Company may result in withholding taxes, value added tax and/or similar taxes being imposed.
