ASSUMPTION OF RISKS
You agree and acknowledge that you assume the following risks:
-
To the extent there is a price or market for a blockchain asset
such as an NFT, such markets and prices are extremely volatile, and
variations in the price of other digital assets could materially and
adversely affect the value of any digital asset(s) you own, and
there is no guarantee that the purchased NFTs will have or retain
any value;
-
The commercial or market value on any NFT may materially diminish
in value as a result of a variety of things such as negative
publicity;
-
A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of
distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development of
those ecosystems and related applications, and could therefore also
negatively impact the potential utility of NFTs;
-
There are risks associated with using an Internet-native assets
(e.g., non-fungible tokens, cryptocurrencies etc.) including, but
not limited to, the risk of hardware, software, and Internet
connections and/or failures, the risk of malicious software
introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain
unauthorized access to information stored within your digital
“wallet” or elsewhere, and the Company will not be
responsible for any of these, however caused;
-
Upgrades to the Elrond platform and blockchain, a hard fork or
other change in the Elrond platform or blockchain, a failure or
cessation of Elrond, or a change in how transactions are confirmed
on the Elrond platform or blockchain may have unintended, adverse
effects on all blockchains using such technologies, including
without limitation to the NFTs you may purchase;
-
A wallet and the NFTs it contains can only be accessed using the
private key assigned to the wallet or a respective smart contract
controlling the wallet. You are solely responsible for the secure
storage and administration of their private keys of the wallet in
which the NFTs are held, as well as for the protection of the
private key and the wallet against unauthorized access by third
parties. Loss of the private keys can lead to irretrievable loss of
the NFTs you purchased. The Company recommends you seek professional
advice on the safe management of private keys. You hereby agree to
be aware that the risk of losing access to the NFT due to loss of
private key(s), custodial error, or purchaser error is solely your
responsibility and the Company cannot be held liable for it;
-
Hackers or other groups or organizations may attempt to interfere
with your wallets, or the NFTs you hold in variety of ways,
including but not limited to denial-of-service attacks, Sybil
attacks, spoofing, smurfing, malicious attacks or consensus-based
attacks, which may result, e.g., in NFTs being stolen or
inaccessible without change of recovery. Blockchains are exposed to
mining attacks which may put the smart contract at risk;
-
The risk of hacking, security weaknesses, fraud, counterfeiting,
cyber-attacks, and other technological difficulties;
-
The risk of changes to the regulatory regime governing blockchain
technologies, cryptocurrencies, and NFTs and new regulations,
unfavorable regulatory intervention in one or more jurisdictions or
policies any of which may materially adversely affect the use and
value of the NFTs you may have purchased;
-
The risks related to taxation;
-
That NFTs are not legal tender and are not back by any government;
and
-
It is your responsibility to obtain any necessary qualified tax
advice and to evaluate the tax consequences of purchasing, holding,
using and selling the NFTs through the NFT Marketplace and
otherwise.
