Terms and Conditions

1. Platform Overview

By creating an account, using our platform, or participating in any Token Offering or trading on CDAO (the "Platform"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms and Conditions ("Terms") in their entirety. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, do not use the Platform. Your use of the Platform signifies acceptance of these Terms, which form a binding agreement between you and Mindex Group, 19, Riverwalk, Mauritius (the "Company", "we") which comprises of the following entities licensed by the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius:

• MINDEX Limited (SEC-1.1 SECURITIES EXCHANGE licence N° SE17000005 issued on the 31/01/2023),
• MINDEX Clearing Limited (SEC-1.2 CLEARING & SETTLEMENT FACILITIES licence N° DC17000004 issued on the 31/01/2023), and
• MINDEX Digital Custodian Limited (licence FS-1.14 CUSTODIAN SERVICES DIGITAL ASSET N° CT19000002 effective as of the 31/01/2022)

The Platform's services include a virtual asset investment marketplace for primary Token Offerings and a secondary trading venue, subject to the laws and regulations of Mauritius and applicable international laws.

The Company may amend or update these Terms from time to time by posting the revised Terms on the Platform or notifying users via email or Platform notification. Continued use of the Platform after any changes constitute your acceptance of the revised Terms. It is your responsibility to review the Terms periodically for updates.

2. Definitions

For the purposes of these Terms, the following definitions apply:

• "Platform" means CDAO online marketplace (including the website and any applications) where Token Offerings and trading occur.
• "Token(s)" means digital assets issued via the Platform's smart contracts that represent a future ownership stake or other rights in a DAO LLC that will hold a specific Underlying Asset.
• "DAO LLC" means a decentralized autonomous organization in the form of a limited liability company established under the Wyoming DAO Supplement (Wyoming Statutes §§17-31-101 through 17-31-116) after a successful Token Offering. The DAO LLC serves as a special purpose vehicle to acquire and manage the Underlying Asset associated with the Tokens. Each Token Offering will correspond to a separate DAO LLC (a distinct legal entity) which will hold the asset for the benefit of the Token holders. Under Wyoming law, membership interests in a DAO LLC may be represented by Tokens on a blockchain and are recognized as ownership rights in the DAO LLC.
• "Underlying Asset" means the specific asset or interest (such as shares of a pre-IPO company) that the relevant DAO LLC will purchase and hold using the funds raised from a Token Offering.
• "Offering" means the primary fundraising event conducted through the Platform's smart contract infrastructure, in which users contribute funds in exchange for Tokens that represent a stake in a DAO LLC. The Offering may also be referred to as a primary issuance or primary placement of Tokens.
• "Marketplace" means the secondary trading venue provided through the Platform, which allows eligible Users to buy and sell Tokens with each other after the initial Offering. The Marketplace may operate as a bulletin board, order-matching engine, or other interface for peer-to-peer Token transactions, subject to applicable compliance and platform controls.
• "User" (also referred to as "Investor" or "you") means any individual or legal entity that accesses or uses the Platform for any purpose, including participating in a Token Offering or engaging in secondary trading of Tokens via the Marketplace.
• "Custodian" means a licensed custodian appointed by the Company to hold funds or other assets in secure custody.
• "KYC/AML" means Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering procedures that may include identity verification, sanctions screening, source-of-funds inquiries, and other compliance checks required under applicable law. The Company may perform KYC/AML directly or through regulated third-party providers as required by law or internal policy.
• "Wallet" means a dedicated digital wallet or wallets designated for use on the Platform, which allow Users to send and receive crypto assets for the purpose of acquiring Tokens, participating in Offerings and trading. Each Wallet may be assigned to a specific Offering or transaction and is used to facilitate secure and traceable transfers of funds between the User and the Platform's smart contract infrastructure.

Note: Other capitalized terms in these Terms may be defined elsewhere in the text.

3. Eligibility and User Representations

The Platform is available only to persons who meet all of the following eligibility criteria. By registering an account or participating in any Offering or trading, you represent, warrant, and covenant at all times that:

• You are at least 18 years old (or the minimum legal age in your jurisdiction of residence to form a binding contract concerning the Platform's services) and have the full legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are registering on behalf of a legal entity, you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
• You are not a citizen or resident of the United States of America, you are not located or domiciled in the United States, and you are not using the Platform from within the United States. You also are not a person or entity defined as a "U.S. Person" under Rule 902 of Regulation S of the U.S. Securities Act or other applicable U.S. regulations. You understand that Tokens are not offered to U.S. persons. You agree that you will not attempt to circumvent any geo-blocking or other measures implemented to enforce this restriction.
• You are not located in, under the control of, or a resident or national of any country or territory that is subject to comprehensive economic sanctions or trade restrictions. This includes (but is not limited to) countries or regions such as North Korea, Iran, Syria, Cuba, and the Crimea region, or any other country that is on a sanctions list where Offering or trading of these Tokens would be unlawful. You are not identified on any list of prohibited or restricted parties. You further confirm that you (and any beneficial owner of any account you use) are not the target of any economic sanctions laws, and you are not acting on behalf of a person or entity that is sanctioned.
• You will only use the Platform in full compliance with all laws and regulations that apply to you (including any securities laws, commodities laws, anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regulations, sanctions laws, data privacy laws, and tax laws). You have obtained any governmental or regulatory approvals, licenses, or permissions required for your use of the Platform, if applicable. You will not use the Platform for any illegal purpose, fraudulent activity, market manipulation, or any activity that could violate applicable laws or regulations.
• You are participating in any Token Offering or trading on the Platform solely for your own account and benefit, and not on behalf of any third party (unless you are an authorized representative of a legal entity user, and in that case the legal entity must also meet all eligibility criteria). You are not using the Platform on behalf of any person who is not eligible to use the Platform.
• All information you provide to the Company during account registration, KYC/AML verification, and any other phase of using the Platform is truthful, accurate, and up-to-date. If any information (including your residency, citizenship status, or accreditation status where relevant) changes, you agree to promptly update such information.
• You have sufficient knowledge, experience, and understanding of the risks involved in blockchain-based investments and in the specific Underlying Asset of any Token Offering you choose to participate in. You understand that investing in Tokens involves significant risks, including the possible loss of all the money you invest, and you have carefully considered and are willing to accept those risks. You have reviewed the risk disclosures in these Terms (see Section 7) and, if necessary, have consulted with professional advisors (legal, financial, tax or others) to understand the implications of your participation.
• You acknowledge that any potential future benefits from holding Tokens are speculative and not guaranteed. You are not relying on any representation, guarantee, or assurance from the Company or any other person that you will obtain any economic return or profit, that the Underlying Asset's value will increase, or that you will be able to sell Tokens at a higher price in the future. There is no guarantee of profits, and investing includes the risk of loss.
• You understand that the Company does not provide investment, legal, or tax advice. Any information provided on the Platform (including project descriptions, asset valuations, or market data) is for informational purposes only and does not constitute advice or an endorsement of any particular investment. You have made your own independent decision to invest (or not) in any Offering based on your own analysis and judgment.
• Your entry into these Terms and your participation in Token Offerings or trading do not violate any other agreement to which you are a party or any court order or legal obligation by which you are bound. If you are acting on behalf of a legal entity, you also represent that the entity is duly organized and validly existing, and entering into these Terms is within the entity's powers and authority.

The Company may impose investor qualification requirements in compliance with applicable Mauritius regulation. The Company reserves the right to require documentation or attestations to verify such qualifications.

The above representations and warranties are continuous in nature and apply at all times during your use of the Platform. The Company may require you to provide evidence or reaffirmations of your compliance with these criteria at any time. If you breach any of the above representations or any other provision of these Terms, or if the Company (in its sole discretion) suspects that you do not meet the eligibility criteria or have violated any law or these Terms, the Company may take appropriate action, including freezing your account, voiding any transactions, and terminating your access to the Platform with or without prior notice. In such a case, you may not be entitled to any refund of fees or other amounts (except possibly the return of any remaining contributed funds if legally and technically feasible), to the fullest extent permitted by law.

4. User Verification

The Platform operates under strict AML/CFT systems, conducts client due diligence, and ensures that custody and settlement arrangements support transparency, prompt post-trade reporting, and investor protection.

Given the regulated nature of the Platform's services, all users must undergo a KYC/AML verification process to the extent required by applicable law and the Company's internal compliance policies. You agree to provide all information and documentation that the Company (or its designated third-party compliance service provider) requests to verify your identity, source of funds, and eligibility. This may include, but is not limited to: full legal name, government-issued identification, proof of address, information about your income or net worth (for assessing investor qualifications), and information regarding the source of the funds you plan to use on the Platform. The Company reserves the right to conduct ongoing due diligence and ask for updated or additional information at any time, especially before any key events such as large transactions, withdrawals, or if your behavior or information triggers a review under our risk-based policies.

The Company may perform KYC/AML checks directly with its in-house compliance team or in its discretion engage reputable third-party service providers to conduct some or all elements of user verification. You authorize the Company to share necessary personal information about you with such service providers for the purpose of compliance checks, and you acknowledge that those third parties might perform checks (for example, against government watchlists, sanctions lists, or databases) to verify your identity and screen for unlawful activity.

Any personal data obtained from you for KYC/AML purposes will be used strictly for compliance purposes and protection of the Platform and its users, and handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. However, you acknowledge and agree that the Company may disclose such information to regulators, law enforcement, or other authorities if required by law or if the Company, in good faith, believes it is necessary to comply with legal obligations. The Company may cooperate with law enforcement and government authorities in any investigation of illegal activity related to the Platform, and may, to the extent permitted by law, share information about you or your transactions in response to valid requests.

The Company reserves the right to refuse registration, decline to open an account, or limit your access to the Platform if you do not pass the required KYC/AML checks or if your provided information is unsatisfactory, incomplete, or appears suspicious. If at any time you fail to meet our compliance requirements or if your account activity raises red flags (such as suspicious transactions or potential fraud), the Company may suspend or terminate your account and freeze any associated Tokens or funds while further investigation is conducted. If required by law or regulators, the Company may be obligated to freeze assets or even forfeit assets in your account; by using the Platform, you acknowledge and accept this possibility. You agree that the Company shall not be liable for any losses, inconvenience, or damages resulting from the Company's compliance measures or actions taken to adhere to legal requirements.

The Company's KYC/AML procedures may vary over time and on a case-by-case basis. The Company will implement verification and monitoring measures that it deems appropriate at its sole discretion and as required by law. This may include performing enhanced due diligence on certain users or transactions, requiring source of funds declarations, or other measures. The Company also has the discretion to periodically re-verify your information and to require you to undergo additional checks in the future. You agree that the Company has broad authority to ensure the Platform's operations comply with all legal obligations, and you undertake to cooperate fully in this process. Failure to complete any requested verification to the Company's satisfaction can result in denial of access to the Platform or other remedial actions.

5. Description of Services

The Platform provides an online infrastructure for tokenized investment opportunities. Through the Platform, the Company facilitates the creation of a smart contract for each Token Offering, the collection of investor funds, the issuance of Tokens, and the eventual formation of a legal entity (DAO LLC) to hold the Underlying Asset associated with those Tokens. The Platform also provides a venue for secondary trading of Tokens among users (the Marketplace).

All decisions to participate in an Offering or trade Tokens are made solely by you. The Company may perform a vetting or due diligence on potential Offerings (e.g., evaluating the Underlying Asset or the deal structure) to decide whether to list them on the Platform, but the Company's approval of an Offering for listing does not constitute investment advice or an endorsement of the quality or prospects of that investment. You should perform your own due diligence or consult independent advisors before investing. Nothing on the Platform is intended to be, nor should it be taken as, a recommendation or financial advice. The Company does not owe you or any user a fiduciary duty with respect to your investments; any such duties are expressly disclaimed to the fullest extent permitted by law.

For each Token Offering, the Platform will deploy an audited smart contract on an appropriate blockchain network. This smart contract is programmed to securely receive and hold contributions (funds) from participants and to mint and distribute the corresponding Tokens to participants in accordance with the terms of the Offering. The smart contract will contain the rules of the particular Token Offering.

While the smart contracts are audited for security and accuracy by independent experts prior to deployment, you acknowledge that no smart contract is entirely free of risk; vulnerabilities or bugs, while unlikely, may still exist and could potentially lead to unintended outcomes. The Company will make reasonable efforts to ensure the smart contracts function as intended, but disclaims liability for unforeseen smart contract vulnerabilities or exploits, except to the extent required by law (see Section 9 on Liability).

The Platform may provide or integrate dedicated Wallet services to facilitate Users' participation in Token Offerings and secondary trading. These Wallets serve as a secure interface for Users to contribute digital assets during an Offering and to hold Tokens received in exchange. Wallets associated with the Platform may operate under a custodial model, or in a non-custodial setup, depending on regulatory requirements and technical implementation. Regardless of custody structure, Wallets are designed to facilitate the smooth execution and recording of transactions on the blockchain, including contributions to Offerings, receipt of Tokens, and any subsequent transfers or trading activities on the Platform. Users acknowledge and agree that use of such Wallets is essential to the technical operation of the Platform and may be subject to additional terms.

In a typical Token Offering on the Platform, the following process is followed:

1. The Company will publish details about a prospective investment opportunity on the Platform. Users should read all provided materials carefully before deciding to invest.
2. During the Offering period, eligible users can commit funds to the smart contract in order to purchase Tokens. The Platform will specify what forms of payment are accepted. Funds contributed are typically locked in the smart contract's escrow until the Offering closes. You may or may not have the ability to cancel your commitment during the Offering period, depending on the Offering's specific terms (the default is that contributions are locked until conclusion, except in case of soft cap failure as described below).
3. Each Offering may have a soft cap, which is the minimum amount of funds that must be raised for the Underlying Asset purchase to proceed. If the soft cap is not reached by the end of the Offering period, the Offering is considered unsuccessful. In that event, the smart contract will automatically allow refunds of the committed funds to all participants.
4. If the Offering meets or exceeds the soft cap within the designated timeframe (and any other conditions for completion are met), the fundraising is deemed successful. The smart contract will then finalize the Token distribution: participants will receive the Tokens they purchased. The Offering will then move to the asset acquisition phase.
5. Upon a successful Offering, the Company will facilitate the legal registration of a new DAO LLC corresponding to that Offering. The smart contract that conducted the raise will be referenced in the formation documents, and the terms of the DAO's Operating Agreement will acknowledge the Token holders as members of the LLC. Using the DAO framework, the smart contract (and the records on the blockchain of Token ownership) serves as the authoritative ledger of the membership interests in the DAO LLC. The DAO LLC's Operating Agreement will govern the rights of Token holders, including voting rights (if any), governance procedures, and the distribution of any proceeds from the asset. By participating in the Offering and accepting these Terms, you agree to be bound by the Operating Agreement of the DAO LLC formed for that Offering, and to execute or adhere to any further documents reasonably required to confer your membership in the DAO LLC.
6. Once the DAO LLC is established, it will enter into a purchase agreement with the seller of the Underlying Asset. The funds raised (held in the smart contract) will be transferred into an escrow account managed by a licensed Custodian to facilitate the closing of the transaction with the seller.
7. If the asset purchase is successfully completed, the Token holders now effectively own the asset indirectly through the DAO LLC. The Tokens you hold represent your membership interest in that DAO LLC and thereby your proportional ownership of the asset.
8. The Platform may list the Tokens on the secondary Marketplace for trading. At this point, you can choose to hold your Tokens, or you may offer them for sale on the Marketplace, or acquire more, subject to there being willing buyers/sellers.

Throughout this process, the Company will coordinate between the on-chain smart contract operations and off-chain legal and custodial processes to ensure a seamless experience. You acknowledge, however, that the process involves multiple parties (the Company, the Custodian, potentially the asset seller, legal service providers for the DAO LLC formation, etc.), and while the Company endeavors to manage the timeline efficiently, there may be delays or unforeseen issues.

6. The DAO LLC

As noted, each successful Token Offering leads to the creation of a DAO LLC which will own the Underlying Asset. The asset will be titled in the name of the DAO LLC and not in the personal name of any Token holder or the Company.

It's important to note that each Token Offering is unique, and the Operating Agreement and related Offering documents for that DAO LLC will contain the specific rights and rules for Token holders of that particular Offering. By investing, you agree to be bound by those specific terms. The Company will ensure that all such documents are made available to you. If you do not agree with the specific terms of an Offering's Operating Agreement, you should not invest in that Offering.

Tokens do not represent a debt owed to you by the Company or by the DAO LLC. Therefore, you are not a secured creditor and you have rights only to the extent of what the asset or DAO LLC can provide. If the Underlying Asset loses value or becomes worthless, your Tokens will similarly lose value; there is no additional guarantee from any party to reimburse your loss. Neither the Company nor any affiliate is providing you with credit or a guaranteed return, and you could lose the entire value of your investment (see Risk Disclosures in Section 7).

7. Secondary Marketplace Trading

The Platform's Marketplace aims to provide a venue for secondary trading of the Tokens representing the DAO LLC membership interests. This allows investors who hold Tokens to sell some or all of their Tokens to other eligible users and allows users who perhaps did not participate in the initial Offering (or wish to increase their holdings) to buy Tokens on the secondary market. The Marketplace is provided as an additional service by the Company to enhance liquidity for investors; however, the availability of the Marketplace for any given Token, and the level of activity or liquidity on the Marketplace, are not guaranteed.

Only verified, eligible users of the Platform can participate in trades. The Company reserves the right to delay, restrict, or refuse to list a particular Token for secondary trading if it determines, for example, that listing would be illegal or inadvisable, or if there are technical reasons (like blockchain issues or custodial limitations).

The Company may charge fees on trades. Any such fees will be transparently disclosed on the Platform or within the trade confirmation. By using the Marketplace, you agree to pay any applicable fees, which will typically be automatically deducted from the proceeds of a sale or added to the cost of a purchase. The Company reserves the right to modify fees from time to time, and will notify users of significant changes.

While the purpose of the Marketplace is to provide liquidity, there is no guarantee that you will be able to sell your Tokens at any given time. The Tokens are tied to unique assets that may have limited market interest. It is possible that no other user will be willing to buy your Token at a price acceptable to you (or at all). There may be only a small number of total holders of each Token series (since the initial Offering is limited), which can further reduce trading activity. You should be prepared to hold your Tokens for an indefinite period or until a liquidity event (such as the sale of the Underlying Asset) occurs.

The Marketplace is provided "as is" and "as available" and the Company makes no representations that a continuous, active market will develop or be sustained for any Token. We strongly caution that the exchange of Tokens on a secondary basis carries risks that may not be present in more traditional markets, including higher volatility and less predictable pricing. By using the Marketplace, you acknowledge and accept these risks, and you agree that you bear the risk of any inability to sell Tokens or any losses due to price fluctuation.

The Company may, at its discretion, set certain restrictions on trades to remain compliant with regulatory requirements. This could include restricting the number of transfers within a certain period, implementing holding periods (lock-ups) post-Offering, or requiring that certain transfers receive prior approval.

The Company may also halt trading of a Token if material news about the Underlying Asset emerges. The Company can halt or suspend trading in its sole discretion for technical reasons (maintenance, network issues) or legal reasons. We will, to the best of our ability, inform users of any such suspension or halt, but there may be cases (especially for urgent legal compliance) where we do so without prior notice.

For clarity, you agree not to trade or transfer Tokens outside the official Platform or its approved processes. This means you should not attempt to use informal markets or OTC (over-the-counter) methods to sell your Tokens to someone whom the Platform has not verified, because the Company will not recognize such transfers in the official records. The only exception is if the Company explicitly announces support for certain external exchanges or platforms and provides a procedure for doing so in a compliant manner. Any attempt to bypass the Platform's trading mechanism could result in a void transfer and could subject your account to termination.

If you purchase Tokens on the secondary Marketplace, you effectively succeed the original investor. By buying, you agree that you are bound by the Operating Agreement of the respective DAO LLC and these Terms just as the seller was. You should ensure you review any available information on the Token (such as remaining lock-up periods, Underlying Asset status, etc.) before purchasing. The Company does not guarantee that secondary buyers have all the same information that initial investors had. Conduct your own research and only purchase if you fully understand what you are buying.

8. Risks Disclosure

The value of Tokens and the Underlying Assets can fluctuate dramatically, and there is no guarantee of any return on investment or preservation of principal. You should take into account your personal financial situation and risk tolerance before participating in any Offering.

Asset-Specific Risks

Each tokenized asset comes with its own specific risks. If the Underlying Asset is equity in a private company, the company might fail or never go public. There is also the risk that the DAO LLC might not be able to sell the asset at a favorable price or timing, meaning you might be locked into a long-term illiquid investment. You must conduct your own assessment of the asset's risks. There is no insurance or guarantee for Underlying Asset performance – if the asset loses value or becomes worthless, your Tokens will likewise lose value. You will not have recourse to the Company for asset performance issues, as the Company does not issue any performance guarantees.

Liquidity Risks

Tokens are illiquid investments. While a secondary Marketplace is provided, it may have little to no volume. Furthermore, there may be legal restrictions on transfer which effectively lock your Tokens until the Underlying Asset itself is sold or liquidated. You should be prepared to hold the Tokens potentially until a final liquidation event of the Underlying Asset (which could be never, if the asset remains unsold and retains some value). There is no guaranteed "exit" timeframe. Any timelines communicated are estimates only and not binding.

Regulatory Risks

The regulatory status of Tokens and the Platform's services may not be the same as traditional financial products. Consequently, protections that investors might expect may not apply. It should be noted that there are no statutory compensation funds in Mauritius for clients of Virtual Asset Service Providers or Token Offerings. Token holders acknowledge they are investing at their own risk and waive any expectation of government-backed protection.

The laws and regulations governing blockchain tokens, DAOs, and tokenized assets are evolving rapidly and remain uncertain in many jurisdictions. It is possible that regulators or legislatures could impose rules that negatively affect the Platform's operations or the Tokens' legal status. Changes in law might reduce or eliminate the value of your Tokens, or make them harder or impossible to trade. There is a risk that in the event of a serious dispute or an unforeseen situation, the legal outcome regarding Token holders' rights could be unpredictable.

Technology Risks

The Platform and Tokens rely heavily on technology, including blockchain technology and smart contracts. There are inherent risks in using such technology:

• Despite audits, smart contracts may have undiscovered vulnerabilities. The Company will do its best to mitigate and respond to any incidents, but cannot guarantee that the smart contracts are completely secure or error-free.
• The performance and security of the Tokens depend on the underlying blockchain on which they operate. These networks themselves might experience congestion, high transaction fees, reduced functionality, or even potential attacks that could affect Token transactions. If the underlying blockchain fails or is compromised, the Tokens on that chain could become unusable or worthless. Additionally, transactions on public blockchains are generally irreversible; if you send funds to the wrong address or if an unauthorized transfer occurs (e.g., due to your account being compromised), the Company may not be able to recover those funds.
• You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials on the Platform. There is a risk of hacking or phishing attacks targeting you or the Platform. The Platform itself will implement robust security measures, but no system is 100% secure. If you do not secure your own login information or any wallets you control, you may lose your Tokens or funds. The Company will not be liable for losses resulting from unauthorized access to your account that occurs due to your failure to safeguard your credentials. We strongly encourage the use of strong passwords and two-factor authentication, where available.
• The Platform may experience unavailability or downtime due to technical issues, maintenance, cyber attacks, or other reasons. During such periods, you may not be able to access your account, participate in Offerings, or execute trades. This could result in missed opportunities or losses (for example, inability to sell during a market event). The Company does not guarantee uninterrupted service and reserves the right to take the Platform offline for maintenance at any time (we will endeavor to schedule maintenance during low-activity periods and notify users).

Market Volatility

The value of Tokens can be influenced by many factors beyond the Underlying Asset's value. Market sentiment, regulatory news, macroeconomic events, or simply supply and demand dynamics on the Platform can cause large swings in Token prices. The crypto-asset markets (and tokenized asset markets by extension) are known for high volatility. You may see prices change dramatically in short periods, and it may be difficult to ascertain a "fair" price. This volatility can work for or against you. Sudden crashes or spikes may occur, and you should be prepared for high fluctuations. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and historical pricing data for similar assets or Tokens does not guarantee future trends.

Tax Implications

The tax treatment of purchasing, holding, and disposing of Tokens can be complex and is highly dependent on your personal circumstances and jurisdiction. There may be VAT, sales tax, income tax, capital gains tax, or other tax implications. It's possible you could have a taxable event (e.g. if the Underlying Asset pays out or is sold) even if you do not cash out your Tokens. The Company does not provide tax advice and has not taken any responsibility to structure things in a tax-advantaged way for any particular investor. You are responsible for your own tax obligations. You should consult with a tax professional to understand how investing in Tokens will affect you. The Company may be required by law to report certain information to tax authorities or to withhold taxes in some cases. Any such actions will be according to applicable law and the terms of the DAO LLC, and you may need to provide additional information (like tax identification numbers, residency certificates) to benefit from treaty rates or exemptions.

Each Token Offering will be accompanied by a technical documentation which shall comply with the disclosure standards prescribed by Mauritius laws, including presentation of accurate and complete information sufficient to enable a prospective purchaser to make an informed decision. You shall read all disclosed documents carefully before deciding to invest.

9. Disclaimers of Warranties

The Company, and its affiliates, and service providers specifically disclaim any implied warranties of MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, and NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Platform will meet your requirements or expectations, or that it will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free. We do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any information on the Platform (including, for example, pricing data or statements about an asset). There is no warranty that any bugs or errors will be corrected, even if we are aware of them (though we will attempt to address issues that materially affect users). Use the Platform at your own risk.

Any statements about future plans, returns, or performance are inherently uncertain and not guaranteed. Past performance of similar assets or markets is not indicative of future results. The Platform may contain forward-looking statements that reflect the Company's or asset seller's current expectations or hopes, but actual outcomes could differ materially. We urge caution in relying on any forward-looking statements and remind you that you should not invest unless you can tolerate the possibility of those expectations not being met.

The Company may, from time to time, need to suspend access to the Platform for maintenance or other reasons. We do not guarantee that the Platform will be available at all times, or at any particular time. Particularly, we may remove or disable the Platform or any part of the services without prior notice (for example, to address a security threat, or if mandated by law). We will not be responsible if you cannot access the Platform or your account, or if some features are not working, for any reason outside our reasonable control.

The Platform integrates with third-party services. The Company makes no warranties regarding these third parties. We do not guarantee continuous interactions with any specific third-party service, and the availability of such integrations can change. We might also provide links or references to third-party content; this does not imply endorsement and we are not responsible for that content.

Any decision or action you take on the Platform (such as sending funds, buying/selling tokens, voting in a DAO, etc.) is your responsibility. If you make a mistake (for example, sending funds of the wrong type, or to the wrong address, mis-clicking on a trade, misunderstanding an offering's terms, etc.), the Company may not be able to assist you. Blockchain transactions are generally irreversible. The Company is not liable for user errors or misunderstandings. We urge you to double-check all details of transactions and to only proceed if you are confident in what you are doing.

IN SUMMARY, THE COMPANY GIVES NO GUARANTEES OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER RELATING TO THE ASSETS, THE TOKENS, THE PLATFORM FUNCTIONALITY, OR ANYTHING ELSE, EXCEPT WHERE A WARRANTY IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DISCLAIM BY LAW.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company (including its directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, and service providers) will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of opportunity, loss of data, or loss of goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of (or inability to use) the Platform, participation in an Offering, or trading of Tokens. This limitation applies whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damage.

To the extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability to you for any and all claims arising from or related to these Terms or the use of the Platform shall not exceed the total fees paid by you to the Company (if any) in the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or, if greater, USD $500 (or equivalent).

Nothing in these Terms shall operate to limit or exclude the Company's liability for (i) death or personal injury resulting from our negligence, (ii) our fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or (iii) any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. However, to the extent the law allows limitation of such liability, we will avail ourselves of that.

The Company does not accept liability for losses related to the performance of the Underlying Assets or the DAO LLCs. If the asset loses value or if you lose money on your investment, that is a risk you knowingly assumed. The Company's liability is limited to its role in operating the platform, and then only as outlined above. We do not insure your investment or guarantee returns.

Under no circumstances will the Company be liable for any claims, demands, or damages arising out of or related to the actions of other users of the Platform. This includes any disputes between you and another user. Any such disputes must be resolved between the parties involved. The Company may, at its discretion, try to facilitate resolution or provide information, but is not obligated to do so and bears no liability.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company, its parent, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, partners, contractors, and licensors (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, expenses, and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that arise out of or are related to: (a) your violation of these Terms or any law or regulation; (b) your misuse of the Platform or services, including any wrongful, willful, or negligent action or inaction; (c) any false, misleading, or inaccurate information you provide us; (d) your infringement of any intellectual property or other rights of any person or entity; or (e) any dispute between you and another user or a third party (for example, disputes related to transactions or Offerings).

This indemnification obligation means you will reimburse the Indemnified Parties for any claim or demand made by a third party (including government agencies) that is connected to your actions or omissions. The Company reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate in asserting any available defenses. You agree not to settle any such matter without the prior written consent of the Company.

Your indemnification obligations survive any termination of your relationship with the Platform or usage of services.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Platform at any time. If you wish to delete your account, you may contact the Platform's support to request account closure. Note that even after an account is closed, we may retain certain information as required by law or as necessary for our legitimate business purposes (such as KYC records, transaction history for audit). Also, if you hold Tokens at the time you seek account deletion, we will work with you on how those will be handled. Simply closing your Platform account does not dissolve your membership in any DAO LLC, your rights and obligations in this relation are regulated by the terms of Operating Agreement.

The Company may, at its sole discretion and without prior notice, suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Platform and/or deactivate or cancel your account in various circumstances including: suspected violations of these Terms or applicable law; suspicious or fraudulent activity; court orders or regulatory requirements; bankruptcy or insolvency; invalid KYC information; discontinuation of Platform services; or to protect the Platform, users, or legal interests.

As a rule, fees are non-refundable in case of account deletion or deactivation. If there are any of your funds or Tokens remaining in your account, the disposition of those will depend on the circumstances. If termination is due to illegal conduct or sanctions, we might be required to freeze or even confiscate assets per law or court order.

The Company reserves the right to discontinue the Platform or any portion of the services at any time for any reason. If the Company decides to cease operations of the Platform, we will make an effort to provide advance notice to users to allow you to arrange your affairs. However, you acknowledge that there could be scenarios where immediate cessation is required (e.g., regulatory action) and advance notice may not be possible.

13. Miscellaneous

Geofencing

As emphasized, the Platform employs geofencing and other measures to block or restrict access from certain jurisdictions (notably the United States and other prohibited regions). This may include IP address blocking, identity checks, and payment method restrictions. By using the Platform, you agree not to attempt to use technological means to bypass these restrictions (such as using VPNs or false information to appear from a different jurisdiction).

Intellectual Property and Content

All content on the Platform, including text, graphics, logos, software, and any proprietary technology, is owned by or licensed to the Company. You are authorized to use the Platform only for its intended purposes. You must not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any part of the Platform without our prior written consent, except as allowed by law (e.g., fair use).

Privacy

Our collection, use, and sharing of your personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy (which is hereby incorporated by reference). By agreeing to these Terms, you also agree to the Privacy Policy.

Communication

We may communicate with you via email, the Platform's messaging center, or other electronic means. You consent to receive electronic communications and you agree that all notices, agreements, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

Changes to Services

The Platform's features are subject to change. We are constantly improving and tweaking our Offerings. We may add new features, modify existing ones, or remove features. Major changes that affect how you use your account (like changes in supported currencies or the introduction of new fees) will be communicated.

Language

These Terms are provided in the English language. Any translation (if provided) is for convenience. In the event of any inconsistency between the English text and a translated version, the English version shall prevail for legal purposes.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, then that provision shall be deemed severed from these Terms and shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.

Entire Agreement

These Terms (along with any documents expressly incorporated by reference, such as the Privacy Policy and any specific terms for a particular Offering provided to you) constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the use of the Platform, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, regarding the subject matter hereof.

14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms, and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Mauritius. This choice of law is made on the basis that the Company is operating under Mauritius law and regulatory supervision.

Subject to any arbitration clause below (if applicable), you and the Company irrevocably agree that the courts of Mauritius shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms or their subject matter or formation. You waive any objection to the Mauritius courts on grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise, to the extent permitted by law.

The Company reserves the right to require that any dispute be resolved via binding arbitration, especially if required by a regulatory condition or to expedite resolution. If the Company elects arbitration for a particular dispute, it will be conducted under the rules of an internationally recognized arbitration center (for example, the Mauritius International Arbitration Centre or another venue) with one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with said rules. The language of arbitration shall be English.

To the extent permitted by law, you and the Company agree that any claims against each other will be brought only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. This means you cannot pursue a claim against us as part of a class action or similar collective action.

You agree that any claim or cause of action arising out of these Terms or your use of the Platform must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, otherwise it is permanently barred.
