If a U.S. person or a Chinese or a Russia person uses the WISE Distribution Contract, uses the WISE Token Contract and/or purchases WISE Tokens, such person has done so and entered into this Agreement on an unlawful, unauthorized and fraudulent basis and this Agreement is null and void. Company is not bound by this Agreement if this Agreement has been entered into by a U.S. person or a Chinese or a Russia person as Buyer or Buyer has entered into this Agreement or has purchased WISE Tokens on behalf of a U.S. person or a Chinese or a Russia person, and Company may take all necessary and appropriate actions, in its sole discretion, to invalidate this Agreement, including referral of information to the appropriate authorities. Any U.S. person or Chinese or Russia person who uses the WISE Distribution Contract, uses the WISE Token Contract and/or purchases WISE Tokens or enters this Agreement on an unlawful, unauthorized or fraudulent basis shall be solely liable for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless oswiseplat.org and oswiseplat.org’s respective past, present and future employees, officers, directors, contractors, consultants, equity holders, suppliers, vendors, service providers, parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, representatives, predecessors, successors and assigns (collectively, the “oswiseplat.org Parties”) from any damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses of any kind, whether direct or indirect, consequential, compensatory, incidental, actual, exemplary, punitive or special and including, without limitation, any loss of business, revenues, profits, data, use, goodwill or other intangible losses (collectively, the “Damages”) incurred by a oswiseplat.org Party that arises from or is a result of such U.S. person’s or Chinese person’s or Russia person’s unlawful, unauthorized or fraudulent use of the WISE Distribution Contract, unauthorized use of the WISE Token Contract and/or the receipt or purchase of WISE Tokens.
2.3. Allocation and Sale of WISE Tokens to oswiseplat.org Parties. Buyer understands and consents to the participation of the Company’s past, present and future employees, officers, directors, contractors, consultants, equity holders, suppliers, vendors and service providers in the purchase of WISE Tokens, including people who may work on the development and implementation of the WISEPLAT Software or who may work for oswiseplat.org’s future businesses which oswiseplat.org may establish with a portion of the proceeds from the WISE Token Distribution. All such oswiseplat.org Parties will participate on the same terms as every other buyer of WISE Tokens and will be bound by this Agreement.
2.4. No Representations and Warranties. The WISE Tokens will be distributed to buyers thereof pursuant to the WISE Distribution Contract and the WISE Token Contract. None of the oswiseplat.org Parties makes any representations or warranties, express or implied, including, without limitation, any warranties of title or implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose with respect to the WISE Distribution Contract, the WISE Token Contract or the WISE Tokens or their utility, or the ability of anyone to purchase or use the WISE Tokens. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the oswiseplat.org Parties represent or warrant that the process of purchasing the WISE Tokens or receiving the WISE Tokens will be uninterrupted or error-free or that the WISE Tokens are reliable and error-free. As a result, Buyer acknowledges and understands that Buyer may never receive WISE Tokens and may lose the entire amount Buyer paid to Company. Buyer shall provide an accurate digital wallet address to Company for receipt of any WISE Tokens distributed to Buyer pursuant to the WISE Distribution Contract and the WISE Token Contract.
2.5. Not an Offering of Securities, Commodities, or Swaps. The sale of WISE Tokens and the WISE Tokens themselves are not securities, commodities, swaps on either securities or commodities or a financial instrument of any kind. Purchases and sales of WISE Tokens are not subject to the protections of any laws governing those types of financial instruments. This Agreement and all other documents referred to in this Agreement including the White Paper do not constitute a prospectus or offering document, and are not an offer to sell, nor the solicitation of an offer to buy an investment, a security, commodity, or a swap on either a security or commodity.
2.6. Not an Investment. Buyer should not participate in the WISE Token Distribution or purchase WISE Tokens for investment purposes. WISE Tokens are not designed for investment purposes and should not be considered as a type of investment. Within twenty-three (23) hours from the end of the WISE Distribution Period, all WISE Tokens will no longer be transferable and the WISE Token Contract will prevent all further transfers and public key mappings.

ARTICLE SIX: DISCLAIMERS
6.1. Buyer expressly acknowledges, understands and agrees that Buyer is using the WISE Distribution Contract, the WISE Token Contract and purchasing WISE Tokens at the Buyer’s sole risk and that the WISE Distribution Contract, the WISE Token Contract and WISE Tokens are each provided, used and acquired on an “AS IS” and on an “AS AVAILABLE” basis without representations, warranties, promises or guarantees whatsoever of any kind by Company and Buyer shall rely on its own examination and investigation thereof.
6.2. No Representation or Warranty.

ARTICLE SEVEN: RISKS
WISE TOKENS MAY HAVE NO VALUE. BUYER MAY LOSE ALL AMOUNTS PAID. Buyer has carefully reviewed, acknowledges, understands and assumes the following risks, as well as all other risks associated with the WISE Tokens (including those not discussed herein), all of which could render the WISE Tokens worthless or of little value:
7.1. No Rights, Functionality or Features. WISE Tokens have no rights, uses, purpose, attributes, functionalities or features, express or implied. WISE Tokens do not entitle holders to participate on the WISE Platform, even if the WISE Platform is launched and the WISEPLAT Software’s development is finished and the WISEPLAT Software is adopted and implemented.
7.2. WISE Platform. Buyer should not purchase WISE Tokens in reliance on the WISE Platform because WISE Tokens are not usable on the WISE Platform and do not entitle Buyer to anything with respect to the WISE Platform.
7.3. Purchase Price Risk. The distribution of WISE Tokens will occur at the end of each set period during the WISE Distribution Period. The purchase price a buyer receives for WISE Tokens depends upon the actions of all other users sending ether (“ETH”) to the WISE Token Contract during the same period. Everyone sending ETH during the same period receives the same price. It is possible for other people to send in a large amount of ETH after Buyer and dramatically increase the price Buyer and everyone else pays per WISE Token received. There are no guarantees as to the price of WISE Tokens purchased by Buyer and no guarantees that the price per WISE Token determined each period by the market will be equal to or higher in the subsequent periods of the WISE Distribution Period. There is the possibility that the price per WISE Token in subsequent periods of the WISE Distribution Period falls below the price paid by initial buyers of WISE Tokens during the WISE Distribution Period. oswiseplat.org reserves the right to change the duration of the WISE Distribution Period for any reason, including, without limitation, bugs in the WISE Distribution Contract or the WISE Token Contract or the unavailability of the Website or other unforeseen procedural or security issues.
7.4. Blockchain Delay Risk. On the Ethereum blockchain, timing of block production is determined by proof of work so block production can occur at random times. For example, ETH contributed to the WISE Smart Contract in the final seconds of a distribution period may not get included for that period. Buyer acknowledges and understands that the Ethereum blockchain may not include the Buyer’s transaction at the time Buyer expects and Buyer may not receive WISE Tokens the same day Buyer sends ETH.
7.5. Ethereum Blockchain. 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. Buyer acknowledges and understands that Ethereum block producers may not include Buyer’s transaction when Buyer wants or Buyer’s transaction may not be included at all.
7.6. Ability to Transact or Resell. Buyer may be unable to sell or otherwise transact in WISE Tokens at any time, or for the price Buyer paid. By using the WISE Distribution Contract or the WISE Token Contract or by purchasing WISE Tokens, Buyer acknowledges, understands and agrees that: (a) WISE Tokens may have no value; (b) there is no guarantee or representation of liquidity for the WISE Tokens; and (c) the oswiseplat.org Parties are not and shall not be responsible for or liable for the market value of WISE Tokens, the transferability and/or liquidity of WISE Tokens and/or the availability of any market for WISE Tokens through third parties or otherwise.
7.7. Token Security. WISE Tokens may be subject to expropriation and or/theft. Hackers or other malicious groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with the WISE Distribution Contract, the WISE Token Contract or the WISE Tokens in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks, smurfing and spoofing. Furthermore, because the Ethereum platform rests on open source software and WISE Tokens are based on open source software, there is the risk that Ethereum smart contracts may contain intentional or unintentional bugs or weaknesses which may negatively affect the WISE Tokens or result in the loss of Buyer’s WISE Tokens, the loss of Buyer’s ability to access or control Buyer’s WISE Tokens or the loss of ETH in Buyer’s account. In the event of such a software bug or weakness, there may be no remedy and holders of WISE Tokens are not guaranteed any remedy, refund or compensation.
7.8. Access to Private Keys. WISE Tokens purchased by Buyer may be held by Buyer in Buyer’s digital wallet or vault, which requires a private key, or a combination of private keys, for access. Accordingly, loss of requisite private key(s) associated with Buyer’s digital wallet or vault storing WISE Tokens will result in loss of such WISE Tokens, access to Buyer’s WISE Token balance and/or any initial balances in blockchains created by third parties. Moreover, any third party that gains access to such private key(s), including by gaining access to login credentials of a hosted wallet or vault service Buyer uses, may be able to misappropriate Buyer’s WISE Tokens. Company is not responsible for any such losses.
7.9. WISE Tokens Will Become Transferable. Buyer acknowledges and understands that WISE Tokens will become transferrable within twenty-three (23) hours after the end of the WISE Distribution Period.
7.10 New Technology. The WISEPLAT Software and the WISE Platform and all of the matters set forth in the White Paper are new and untested. The WISEPLAT Software might not be capable of completion, implementation or adoption. It is possible that no blockchain utilizing the WISEPLAT Software will be ever be launched and there may never be an operational WISE Platform. Buyer should not rely on the WISEPLAT Software or the ability to receive tokens associated with the WISE Platform in the future. Even if the WISEPLAT Software is completed, implemented and adopted, it might not function as intended, and any tokens associated with a blockchain adopting the WISEPLAT Software may not have functionality that is desirable or valuable. Also, technology is changing rapidly, so the WISE Tokens and any tokens transferable on the WISE Platform may become outdated.
7.11. Reliance on Third-Parties. Even if completed, the WISEPLAT Software will rely, in whole or partly, on third parties to adopt and implement it and to continue to develop, supply, and otherwise support it. There is no assurance or guarantee that those third parties will complete their work, properly carry out their obligations, or otherwise meet anyone’s needs, all of might have a material adverse effect on the WISEPLAT Software and WISE Platform.
7.12. Failure to Map a Public Key to Buyer’s Account. Failure of Buyer to map a public key to Buyer’s account may result in third parties being unable to recognize Buyer’s WISE Token balance on the Ethereum blockchain when and if they configure the initial balances of a new blockchain based upon the WISEPLAT Software of which Company makes no representation or guarantee.
7.13. Exchange & Counterparty Risks. If Buyer sends ETH to the WISE Token Contract from an exchange or an account that Buyer does not control, pursuant to the WISE Token Contract, WISE Tokens will be allocated to the account that has sent ETH; therefore, Buyer may never receive or be able to recover Buyer’s WISE Tokens. Furthermore, if Buyer chooses to maintain or hold WISE Tokens through a cryptocurrency exchange or other third party, Buyer’s WISE Tokens may be stolen or lost. In addition, third parties may not recognize Buyer’s claim to any derivative tokens if and when launched by third parties according to the distribution rules set in the WISEPLAT Software. By using the WISE Distribution Contract, using the WISE Token Contract and/or by purchasing WISE Tokens, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer sends ETH to the WISE Token Contract through an exchange account and/or holds WISE Tokens on a cryptocurrency exchange or with another third party at Buyer’s own and sole risk.
7.14 Changes to the WISEPLAT Software. The WISEPLAT Software is still under development and may undergo significant changes over time. Although Company intends for the WISEPLAT Software to have the features and specifications set forth in the White Paper, Company may make changes to such features and specifications for any number of reasons, and any party that adopts the WISEPLAT Software and launches the WISE Platform also may make changes, any of which may mean that the WISE Platform does not meet Buyer’s expectations.
7.15 Risk of Alternative Blockchains based on WISEPLAT Software. The WISEPLAT Software will not likely be licensed under an open source license until after the end of the WISE Distribution Period; however, it is possible somebody will not respect the WISEPLAT Software copyright or will modify the WISEPLAT Software after it has been released under an open source license. Therefore, it is possible for someone to utilize the WISEPLAT Software to build and launch blockchain protocols using a token distribution other than the one intended for the WISE Tokens pursuant to the WISEPLAT Software both prior to or after the WISEPLAT Software has become licensed as open source.
7.16. Project Completion. The development of the WISEPLAT Software may be abandoned for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, lack of interest from the public, lack of funding, lack of commercial success or prospects, or departure of key personnel.
7.17. Lack of Interest. Even if the WISEPLAT Software is finished and adopted and the WISE Platform is launched, the ongoing success of the WISE Platform relies on the interest and participation of third parties like developers. There can be no assurance or guarantee that there will be sufficient interest or participation in the WISE Platform.
7.18. Uncertain Regulatory Framework. The regulatory status of cryptographic tokens, digital assets and blockchain technology is unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions. It is difficult to predict how or whether governmental authorities will regulate such technologies. It is likewise difficult to predict how or whether any governmental authority may make changes to existing laws, regulations and/or rules that will affect cryptographic tokens, digital assets, blockchain technology and its applications. Such changes could negatively impact WISE Tokens in various ways, including, for example, through a determination that WISE Tokens are regulated financial instruments that require registration. Company may cease the distribution of WISE Tokens, the development of the WISEPLAT Software or cease operations in a jurisdiction in the event that governmental actions make it unlawful or commercially undesirable to continue to do so.
7.19. Risk of Government Action. As noted above, the industry in which Company operates 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 Company. Such governmental activities may or may not be the result of targeting Company in particular. All of this may subject Company to judgments, settlements, fines or penalties, or cause Company to restructure its operations and activities or to cease offering certain products or services, all of which could harm Company’s reputation or lead to higher operational costs, which may in turn have a material adverse effect on the WISE Tokens and/or the development of the WISEPLAT Software.
ARTICLE EIGHT: LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION
8.1. Limitation of Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer disclaims any right or cause of action against the oswiseplat.org Parties of any kind in any jurisdiction that would give rise to any Damages whatsoever, on the part of any oswiseplat.org Party. Each of the oswiseplat.org Parties shall not be liable to Buyer for any type of Damages, even if and notwithstanding the extent a oswiseplat.org Party has been advised of the possibility of such Damages. Buyer agrees not to seek any refund, compensation or reimbursement from a oswiseplat.org Party, regardless of the reason, and regardless of whether the reason is identified in this Agreement.
8.2. Damages. In no circumstances will the aggregate joint liability of the oswiseplat.org Parties, whether in contract, warrant, tort or other theory, for Damages to Buyer under this Agreement exceed the amount received by Company from Buyer.
8.3. Force Majeure. Buyer understands and agrees that Company shall not be liable and disclaims all liability to Buyer in connection with any force majeure event, including acts of God, labour disputes or other industrial disturbances, electrical, telecommunications, hardware, software or other utility failures, software or smart contract bugs or weaknesses, earthquakes, storms, or other nature-related events, blockages, embargoes, riots, acts or orders of government, acts of terrorism or war, technological change, changes in interest rates or other monetary conditions, and, for the avoidance of doubt, changes to any blockchain-related protocol.
8.4 Release. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer releases the oswiseplat.org Parties from responsibility, liability, claims, demands, and/or Damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown (including, but not limited to, claims of negligence), arising out of or related to disputes between Buyer and the acts or omissions of third parties.
8.5 Indemnification.
-
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless and reimburse the oswiseplat.org Parties from and against any and all actions, proceedings, claims, Damages, demands and actions (including without limitation fees and expenses of counsel), incurred by a oswiseplat.org Party arising from or relating to: (i) Buyer’s purchase or use of WISE Tokens; (ii) Buyer’s responsibilities or obligations under this Agreement; (iii) Buyer’s breach of or violation of this Agreement; (iv) any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Buyer; (v) Buyer’s violation of any rights of any other person or entity; and/or (vi) any act or omission of Buyer that is negligent, unlawful or constitutes willful misconduct.
-
Company reserves the right to exercise sole control over the defense, at Buyer’s expense, of any claim subject to indemnification under this Section 8.5. This indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnities set forth in a written agreement between Buyer and Company.
