You shall not purchase or otherwise acquire, deposit, stake, or trade any tokens, including ASF, safETH, or afETH (the “Tokens”) through this Website if you are: a citizen, resident (tax or otherwise), and/or green card holder, incorporated in, owned or controlled by a person or entity in, located in, or have a registered office or principal place of business in the U.S. (defined as a U.S. person), or if you are a person in any jurisdiction in which such offer, sale, and/or purchase of the Tokens is unlawful, prohibited, or unauthorized (together with U.S. persons, a “Restricted Person”). The term “Restricted Person” includes, but is not limited to, any natural person residing in, or any firm, company, partnership, trust, corporation, entity, government, state or agency of a state, or any other incorporated or unincorporated body or association, association or partnership (whether or not having separate legal personality) that is established and/or lawfully existing under the laws of, a jurisdiction in which such offer, sale, and/or purchase of Restricted Tokens is unlawful, prohibited, or unauthorized (“Prohibited Jurisdiction”)).

3. Proprietary Rights

Subject to the foregoing, Asymmetry owns or is duly authorized to use all intellectual property and other rights in the Website and its contents, including all text, images and trademarks displayed or provided on the Website, and all Website software.

4. Warranty Disclaimer

To the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law, the Website (and any of its content or functionality) is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis, and we expressly disclaim, and you hereby waive, any representations, conditions or warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, legal, statutory or otherwise, or arising from statute, otherwise in law, course of dealing, or usage of trade, including, without limitation, the implied or legal warranties and conditions of merchantability, merchantable quality, quality or fitness for a particular purpose, title, security, availability, reliability, accuracy, quiet enjoyment and non-infringement of third party rights.

Further, we do not warrant that errors in the Website are correctable or will be corrected.

5. Disclaimer about Information Accuracy

You are aware that we rely on third-party sources for information. You are aware that we rely on third-party sources for information about certain digital tokens listed via the Website and we have the right to choose, change and remove any third-party information source at our discretion. Digital token information, including token description, total supply, market cap and 24 hour volume, is currently derived from third-party sources such as coingecko.com. We are not responsible for the quality, accuracy, timeliness, completeness or reliability of any of the digital token information via the Website. You are obligated to collect sufficient information and keep yourself well informed before trading any digital tokens through the Website.

6. Disclaimer about Tokens

You shall not purchase or otherwise acquire any of our Token products if you are: a citizen, resident (tax or otherwise), and/or green card holder, incorporated in, owned or controlled by a person or entity in, located in, or have a registered office or principal place of business in the U.S. (defined as a U.S. person), or if you are a person in any jurisdiction in which such offer, sale, and/or purchase of any tokens on the list of Tokens Restricted for Restricted Persons is unlawful, prohibited, or unauthorized (together with U.S. citizens, residents, and/or green card holders, a “Restricted Person”). The term “Restricted Person” includes, but is not limited to, any natural person residing in, or any firm, company, partnership, trust, corporation, entity, government, state or agency of a state, or any other incorporated or unincorporated body or association, association or partnership (whether or not having separate legal personality) that is established and/or lawfully existing under the laws of, a jurisdiction in which such offer, sale, and/or purchase of any tokens on the list of Tokens Restricted for Restricted Persons is unlawful, prohibited, or unauthorized). You shall not resell or otherwise transfer any tokens on the list of Tokens Restricted for Restricted Persons to any Restricted Person, including but not limited to, citizens, residents, or green card holders of the United States of America or any natural person or entity within the United States of America. The transfer or resale of any tokens on the list of Tokens Restricted for Restricted Persons to any Restricted Person is not permitted.

You understand that Asymmetry is not registered or licensed by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Securities and Exchange Commission, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or any financial regulatory authority, and that no financial regulatory authority has reviewed or approved the Website. You further understand that Asymmetry is not acting as an investment adviser or commodity trading adviser to any person, does not offer securities services in the United States or to U.S. persons, and that the contents of the Website do not constitute advice or recommendations concerning any commodity, security or other asset.

Third parties promote Asymmetry products at their own discretion and risk, taking on all regulatory compliance burdens that come with such activity, in all jurisdictions in which they offer them. Asymmetry shall not be liable for such third party’s failures of regulatory compliance.

Additionally, no person may acquire Asymmetry products unless they are in compliance with the Disclaimer regarding the Tokens Restricted for Restricted Persons and are:

(A) not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act, (B) not offering, trading or holding Asymmetry products for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person, (C) not intending to sell, grant any participation in, or otherwise distributing Asymmetry products to any U.S. Person; (C) not a “U.S. person” as defined in 17 C.F.R. § 23.23(a)(23) of the CFTC Cross-Border Swaps Rule, (D) not acquiring Asymmetry assets for the account or benefit of any U.S. person, (E) not intending to sell, grant any participation in, or otherwise distributing Asymmetry products to any U.S. Person; and (F) Not intending to offer, sell, or distribute Asymmetry products or have a direct or indirect participation in any such undertaking or the underwriting of any such undertaking.

Asymmetry shall not be liable for any person or entity’s failure to understand, agree to and comply with each of the provisions above.

7. Limit Order

You can buy or sell digital tokens at a specified price within a specified timeframe. Asymmetry makes no guarantee that a limit order will be matched or executed.

8. Payment and Fees

The Website utilizes smart contracts to connect users with Ethereum and other Blockchains. Transactions on Ethereum or that otherwise involve the use of an underlying blockchain or other decentralized or permissioned infrastructure (the “Distributed Ledger Technology”) require that you pay a fee, such as “gas” charges on the Ethereum network, for the computational resources required to perform a transaction on the particular Distributed Ledger Technology (such payments and fees, “Charges”).

Asymmetry does not currently charge any fees for your transactions on the Website. You are responsible for paying the Charges automatically imposed by the Distributed Ledger Technology including Ethereum Network. However, we reserve the right to charge fees for your use of the Website and adjust the pricing anytime. If such fees are imposed, we will notify you of the fees and pricing of your transaction when you authorize the transaction.

You acknowledge and agree that Asymmetry has no control over any Distributed Ledger Technology transactions, the method of payment of any Charges, if applicable, or any actual payments of Charges, if applicable. Accordingly, you must ensure that you have a sufficient balance of the applicable Distributed Ledger Technology network tokens stored at your Distributed Ledger Technology-compatible wallet address (“Distributed Ledger Technology Address”) to complete any transaction on the Distributed Ledger Technology before initiating such transaction.

9. Ownership of Digital Tokens

You have full custody and control of the digital tokens in your digital wallets at all times. We do not custody your digital tokens and do not have access to, or retain the electronic private key of your digital wallet. As the owner and custodian of the digital tokens in your digital wallets, you shall bear all risk of loss of such digital tokens and you assume all legal risks associated with ownership of the tokens, as set forth in Section 10 of the Agreement.

10. Risks Associated with Tokens

By accessing and using the Website, you represent that you understand the inherent risks associated with using cryptographic and blockchain-based systems, and that you have a working knowledge of the usage and intricacies of digital tokens such as bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), and other digital tokens such as those following the Ethereum Token Standard (ERC-20). Asymmetry does not control the underlying software protocols of any digital tokens accessible on the Website. You agree that we are not responsible for the operation, functionality or security of the underlying protocols and not liable for any loss of token value you may encounter due to any operating change, malfunction or failure of the underlying protocols.

You further understand that the markets for these digital tokens are highly volatile, and that there are risks associated with digital tokens including (but not limited to) those related to adoption, speculation, technology, security, and regulation. You acknowledge that the cost and speed of transacting with cryptographic and blockchain-based systems such as Ethereum are variable and may increase dramatically at any time. You understand and agree to assume full responsibility for all of the risks of accessing and using the Website and interacting with the Ethereum, Polygon and other Blockchains, and agree that Asymmetry is not responsible for any loss you may experience as a result of these risks.

You further assume all legal risks associated with ownership of the tokens, including but not limited to, any investigation or enforcement action brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other enforcement agency or organization, and any private litigation based on violations of U.S. securities laws. In particular, you acknowledge that unauthorized resale of the U.S. Restricted Tokens, found here on our website, may subject you to civil or criminal liability under U.S. securities laws.

You should be aware that anyone can create digital tokens via the Multi-Chain Networks (such as ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum). We make no representation about the nature, quality, or legal categorization of the token or associated project. You are responsible for doing your own research as well as ensuring that you may legally transact in this token in the jurisdiction where you reside.

11. Taxes

It is your sole responsibility to fulfill your tax obligations that apply to your transactions conducted via the Website. You should withhold, collect, report and remit the correct amounts of taxes to the appropriate tax authorities.

12. Privacy

Please refer to our privacy policy, [x], for information about how we collect, use, share and otherwise process information about you.

13. Changes Suspension Termination

We may, at our sole discretion, at any time and with or without prior notice to you, modify, suspend or disable, temporarily or permanently, the Website, in whole or in part, for any reason whatsoever, including, but not limited to, as a result of a security incident.

We will not be liable for any losses suffered by you resulting from any modification to the Website or from any suspension or termination, for any reason, of your access to all or any portion of the Website.

All of the terms of the Agreement will survive any termination of your access to the Website regardless of the reasons for its expiration or termination, in addition to any other provision which by law or by its nature should survive.

14. Electronic Notices

You consent to receive all communications, agreements, documents, receipts, notices, and disclosures electronically (collectively, our “Communications”) that we provide in connection with the Agreement or the Website.

19. Release

To the extent permitted by applicable law, in consideration for being allowed to use the Website, you hereby release and forever discharge Asymmetry from, and hereby waive and relinquish, each and every past, present and future dispute, claim, controversy, demand, right, obligation, liability, action and cause of action of every kind and nature (including personal injuries, death, and property damage), that has arisen or arises directly or indirectly out of, or that relates directly or indirectly, to the Website. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY APPLICABLE PROVISION IN LAW OR REGULATION IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING, INCLUDING THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 1542 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, WHICH STATES: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”

20. Assignment

You may not assign any rights or licenses granted under the Agreement. We reserve the right to assign any rights and/or licenses under this Agreement without restriction, including but not limited to any Asymmetry affiliates or subsidiaries or any successors of Asymmetry’s interests.

21. Force Majeure

We shall not be responsible for any delay or failure in performance of the Website resulting directly or indirectly from any events or circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to, natural disaster, civil unrest, terrorism, significant market volatility and failure of Internet services, equipment or software.

22. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Asymmetry and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us, unless you opt out of arbitration by following the instructions set forth below. In addition, arbitration precludes you from suing in court or having a jury trial.

You and Asymmetry agree that any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement, including threshold questions of the arbitrability of the dispute, is personal to you and Asymmetry and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.

Except for small claims disputes in which you or Asymmetry seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county or other applicable jurisdiction where you reside or disputes in which you or Asymmetry seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and Asymmetry waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Website resolved in court. Instead, for any dispute or claim that you have against Asymmetry or relating in any way to the Services, you agree to first contact Asymmetry and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim (“Notice”) to Asymmetry by email at [e-mail]. The Notice must include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number, describe the nature and basis of the claim and set forth the specific relief sought. Our notice to you will be similar in form to that described above. If you and Asymmetry cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within ninety (90) days after such Notice is received, then either party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration administered by the JAMS. All disputes submitted to JAMS will be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration before one arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings will be held in the Bahamas, in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures (“JAMS Rules”). The most recent version of the JAMS Rules are available on the JAMS Site and are hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the JAMS Rules or waive your opportunity to read the JAMS Rules and waive any claim that the JAMS Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

You and Asymmetry agree that the enforceability of this Section 16 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.

The arbitrator, Asymmetry, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including, but not limited to, all information gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the disputes. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary. The duty of confidentiality does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision.

You and Asymmetry agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay all AAA fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by Asymmetry, Asymmetry will pay all AAA fees and costs.

Any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, which means that you and Asymmetry will not have the right to assert the claim.

You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 16 by emailing us at [e-mail]. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with Section 17.

If any portion of this Section 16 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from this Agreement, severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 16 or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis under this Section 16, and to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 16 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 16 will be enforceable.

23. Governing Law and Venue

The interpretation and enforcement of the Agreement, and any dispute related to the Agreement or the App, will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, as applicable, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any legal action or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be instituted exclusively in the courts of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, and each party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts in any such action or proceeding. Each party hereby waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding brought in such court and any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party agrees that a judgment in any such action or proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

24. Questions
