Acknowledgment and Assumption of Risks
The Purchaser acknowledges that there are risks associated with purchasing the Ordinals, holding Ordinals, and using Ordinals, including, without limitation, the following:
risk of software weaknesses: the Purchaser understands and accepts that involved software and technology and technical concepts and theories are still in an early development stage and unproven, whereby there is no warranty that the process for receiving, use and ownership of Ordinals will be uninterrupted or error-free and why there is an inherent risk that the software and related technologies and theories could contain weaknesses, vulnerabilities or bugs causing, inter alia, the complete loss of Ordinals. The Purchaser understands and accepts that the software and hardware, technology and technical concepts and theories applicable to Ordinals (as well as virtual currency Ordinals in general) is still in an early development stage and unproven, there is no warranty that the technology will be uninterrupted or error-free and there is an inherent risk that the technology could contain weaknesses, vulnerabilities or bugs causing, inter alia, the complete loss of the Ordinals and the Purchaser’s total purchase price;
regulatory risk: the Purchaser understands and accepts that blockchain technology allows new forms of interaction and that it is possible that certain jurisdictions will apply existing regulations on, or introduce new regulations addressing, blockchain technology based applications, which may be contrary to the current setup and which may, inter alia, , the loss of all Ordinals and the value thereof for the Purchaser. Further, the Purchaser accepts and bears all risks with respect to securities, anti-money laundering, commodities and other regulations that may regulate the Association, the total purchase price and/or the Ordinals;
risk of legal qualification: the Purchaser understands and accepts that the legal structure of Ordinals is relatively new, and no relevant prejudices are available. Therefore, the risk remains that a court may come to the conclusion that the underlying rights cannot be transferred validly by transfer of the Ordinals alone;
third party risks: the Association might use third parties as service providers for certain aspects of the Sales. The Association has no visibility into, or possibility to control, the software or mechanisms used by such third party, and cannot verify or guarantee the proper functionality of the third party software or operations;
lack of any intrinsic value/benefits/uses: the Purchaser understands and accepts Ordinals has no intrinsic value and might have no functionality, benefits or uses in respect of the Project and may become worthless;
risk of theft and attacks: the Purchaser understands and accepts that the underlying software application and software of the Ordinals , the internet, any blockchain network, and other involved software, technology components, decentralized applications may be exposed to attacks by hackers or other individuals that could result in theft or loss of the Ordinals and the Purchaser’s entire purchase price;
risk of blockchain mining attacks: the Purchaser understands and accepts that, blockchain based systems, such as the Bitcoin network, are dependent upon independent miners and they are susceptible to mining attacks including but not limited to double-spend attacks, majority mining power attacks, “selfish-mining” attacks, and race condition attacks plus any number of as-yet unknown attack vectors on the unique technologies and mechanisms of the Bitcoin network . Any successful attacks present a risk to the Bitcoin network, expected proper execution and sequencing of Ordinal transactions, and expected proper execution and sequencing of software computations;
risk of market decline: the growth of the blockchain industry in general is subject to a high degree of uncertainty;
volatility risks: the prices of blockchain assets such as Bitcoin have historically been subject to dramatic fluctuations and are highly volatile, and the market price of the Ordinals may also be highly volatile. In addition, 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 Ordinals;
risk of insufficient Ordinal liquidity / loss of value: the Purchaser understands that regarding the Ordinals no access to exchanges or market liquidity may be guaranteed and that the value (if any) of the Ordinals over time may experience extreme volatility or depreciate resulting in loss that will be borne exclusively by the Purchaser;
risk of uncertain tax treatment: the tax treatment of acquiring, holding and where permitted, selling, exchanging or otherwise disposing of the Ordinals is uncertain, and the Purchaser must seek its own tax advice. Acquiring, holding and where permitted, selling, exchanging or otherwise disposing of the Ordinals may result in adverse tax consequences to Purchasers, including liability for income taxes and responsibility for complying with certain tax reporting requirements. The Purchaser should consult with and must rely upon the advice of its own tax advisors; and
risk of loss of private key: the Ordinals can only be accessed by using a combination of Purchaser’s information (Purchaser Wallet Address and private key). The Purchaser understands and accepts that if their private key file or password of the Purchaser Wallet Address were lost or stolen, the allocated Ordinals associated with the Purchaser Wallet Address would be unrecoverable and would be permanently lost. The Association has no control over the Ordinals once the Purchase receives the Ordinals; therefore, the Purchaser shall have no recourse to seek any refunds, recovery or replacements from the Association in the event of a Purchaser losing possession of its Purchaser Wallet Address through a loss, mismanagement or theft of access keys and/or passwords.
The Ordinals involve a high degree of risk, including the potential risk of expiring worthless. You should be prepared in certain circumstances to sustain a total loss of the total purchase price.
