b. Rules of Interpretation

Unless the context requires otherwise, references to one gender include all genders; singular includes plural and vice versa; terms like “including”, “in particular”, or “for example” are illustrative and shall not limit the sense of the following words; Section headings do not affect interpretation hereof; these Terms will not be construed to our disadvantage for preparing them; terms like “investment”, “invest”, or “investor” that may be used in the OPTIMUS Materials are analogies for smart-contract operations, not literal references to legal agreements or traditional transactions. When using smart-contracts, there are no legal agreements, promises of payment, or courts of law, and therefore there are no investments or other traditional transactions involved.

1. General Blockchain Risks

a. Irreversibility

Please note that transactions on a public blockchain are irreversible. No one can control or influence transactions with Virtual Assets on public blockchain networks, and, therefore, they may not be cancelled, reversed, blocked, or frozen. You must independently assess risks and make informed decisions before carrying out any transactions. There is no warranty that transactions will be executed with the gas fees you expect, or that they will be executed at all.

b. Autonomy of Infrastructure

Blockchain-based infrastructure operates autonomously and is typically beyond anyone’s control. Any malfunction, breakdown, or abandonment of the underlying blockchain could significantly impact the Projects, Tokens, or any transactions involving Virtual Assets.

c. Privacy and Data Risks

Blockchain data is publicly accessible and traceable by third parties, meaning transactions in Virtual Assets may expose certain information about you, though it is unlikely to directly reveal your identity. However, when combined with other personal information, it may allow third parties to infer your financial standing. Once recorded, blockchain data cannot be altered or deleted, making the decision to transact entirely your responsibility.

d. Risk Associated with Hard Fork

A hard fork in the underlying blockchain network of the Tokens, or any of its components, could require major changes. These changes might make the smart-contracts incompatible, dysfunctional, impractical, or more expensive to use. This could disrupt the execution and interaction of smart-contracts critical to the Tokens or any Project. Adapting to a hard fork or changes in consensus rules may require significant time and resources, which might not be available or cost-effective. Consequently, the continued operation of any Project cannot be guaranteed.

e. Risk Associated with Cryptography Development

Advances in cryptography and technology, particularly quantum computing, could threaten blockchain systems by weakening or breaking the cryptographic consensus mechanisms that underpin them. As quantum computing evolves, algorithms once considered secure may become obsolete, leaving systems that rely on traditional cryptographic methods vulnerable. This could allow intruders to bypass existing security measures, compromise data integrity, as well as disrupt consensus mechanisms on blockchain networks.

2. Financial and Market Risks

a. Risk of Loss 

Transacting with Virtual Assets involves the risk of monetary or other losses. These risks can arise from various factors, including market volatility, vulnerabilities in smart-contracts, cybersecurity threats such as hacking or phishing attacks, technical failures, regulatory changes, etc. Unforeseen events, including economic downturns, changes in market sentiment, etc, could also have a material adverse effect on your assets.

b. Virtual Assets’ Value Risks

There are no representations or warranties, express or implied, regarding the Virtual Assets, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement, all of which are expressly disclaimed. You acknowledge and agree that Virtual Assets may not: (i) meet your expectations or function as intended, (ii) possess the intended functionality, (iii) have a market, or (iv) have any specific price or hold any particular value, or have any value at all. Receiving, storing, using, or disposing of Virtual Assets is entirely at your own risk.

c. Volatility Risks

Purchasing, using, or holding Virtual Assets involves significant risks. The crypto market is highly volatile, and prices can change drastically in short periods, potentially leading to substantial or total loss of your funds. Due to the nature and operation of blockchain protocols, the total amount of Virtual Assets in circulation could increase through, inter alia, the adoption of a new patch, upgrade of the source code, or additional mint. You bear a sole responsibility for any damages or losses that you may incur as a result of or in connection with the change in the composition, supply, value or price of any Virtual Assets. Only allocate funds to Virtual Assets that you can afford to lose.

d. Liquidity and Market Risks

There is no assurance that an active market will exist now or in the future for buying or selling Virtual Assets. Their price and liquidity cannot be assured, and it is possible that there may be no market or liquidity for Virtual Assets at all. In some cases, they may become useless or abandoned entirely.

3. Risks Associated with Projects

a. Projects Pivot

The design, details, and description of the Projects, including the OPTIMUS project, and related products or services may be changed at any time. There is no guarantee that the OPTIMUS project or any other Project will be developed, maintained, or operated for any specific time period, or at all. The OPTIMUS project or other Projects may also be modified or pivoted at any time. Nothing in these Terms, OPTIMUS Materials, or Project Materials creates an obligation to develop, launch, promote, or operate the OPTIMUS project, any Projects, or related products or services.

b. Public Interest Uncertainty

Public interest in the OPTIMUS project or any Project is not warranted, and low user engagement may negatively impact their development and associated business activities.

c. Risk of Confusing Interface

The user interface, design of the Website, Projects or associated infrastructure may sometimes cause confusion, leading to unintended actions or transactions, such as selecting the wrong Virtual Asset, transaction type, blockchain network, or account.

d. Risk of Unofficial Projects

There is always a risk of competing teams or alternative projects, including those cloning the OPTIMUS project or any Project. You may also be targeted by fraudulent activities, such as fake websites, emails, text messages, or social media accounts impersonating us or any Project. They may aim to deceive you, steal your Virtual Assets, or profit unlawfully. Be extremely cautious when interacting with websites, messages, or accounts directing you to non-official sources or asking you to connect your Wallet. Always verify the authenticity of any communication claiming to represent us or any Project.

4. Technological risks

a. Functionality and Flawed Logic of Software

The Website and associated technical infrastructure are provided “as is” and may experience system failures, downtimes, unplanned interruptions in their underlying network or functionality, hardware or software defects, security breaches, or other causes that could adversely affect the Website or your access to it. We are not obligated to address these issues and do not warrant that any updates will resolve existing bugs or vulnerabilities, or avoid creating new, unanticipated issues.

b. Software Weaknesses, Bugs and Vulnerabilities

The software behind the Website, Virtual Assets, and associated smart contracts, as well as the logic of blockchain networks, may have flaws, bugs, vulnerabilities, or defects. These issues could cause the software or smart contracts to malfunction or behave unpredictably, leading to transactions being executed incorrectly or against your intentions. Such issues may result in the partial or complete loss of Virtual Assets involved in a transaction, or other negative consequences.

c. Lack of Remediation

The software underlying the Website or Virtual Assets, including smart contracts, may have errors or vulnerabilities that are not immediately apparent. Fixing these issues can be difficult and may not always work. Many smart contracts are also immutable, meaning they cannot be changed once deployed. Attempts to fix flaws or vulnerabilities in blockchain software can be complex, risky, expensive, and time-consuming. There is no guarantee that these efforts will prevent negative outcomes, such as the complete or significant loss of your Virtual Assets.

d. Downtime and Maintenance 

The Website-related services, products, or their components may occasionally become inaccessible or inoperable for various reasons, including maintenance, updates, technical disruptions, or third-party interference. Such occurrences may lead to downtime or a lack of access to them.

e. Delayed Updates

There is no warranty that the software, including any associated smart-contracts, the OPTIMUS project or any Project relies on will be updated quickly enough to address new threats, vulnerabilities, or required changes, or can be updated at all. Delays in updates can leave you exposed to risks such as errors, failed transactions, inability to execute time-sensitive operations, or the loss of Virtual Assets.

5. Security Risks

a. Risk of Theft

The blockchain networks can be attacked which may result in downtime, consensus split, long reorganisation of the chain, 51% attack or other adverse outcomes. There is no warranty that there will be no theft or loss of Virtual Assets due to attacks, hacks, software flaws, or blockchain vulnerabilities, which could result in partial or complete loss of the Virtual Assets. Even when using our official resources, remain vigilant for pop-ups or unusual program behaviour, as these could result from hacks or malicious code. 

b. Exploitation of Vulnerabilities

Bugs, flaws in logic, and other vulnerabilities are not part of the intended operation of the Website-related software. However, intruders may exploit these weaknesses or flaws, potentially causing financial losses, data breaches, or system malfunctions. The exploitation of bugs, flaws, or vulnerabilities in smart-contracts or associated software is strictly prohibited, regardless of the purpose or circumstances. Such acts, especially those that harm others, may be considered criminal or other offences under applicable laws and could result in severe consequences for those involved.

c. Risk Associated with Credentials

If a third party gains access to your Wallet or associated credentials, they may control and use your Virtual Assets held in such Wallet. To reduce this risk, secure your electronic devices or systems (both hardware and software) used in relation to the Wallet and/or Project, as well as associated credentials against unauthorised access. We encourage you to properly back up all credentials associated with your Wallets used in connection with the Website.

6. Risks Related to OPTIMUS and Project Materials

a. Accuracy

There is no assurance that any OPTIMUS Materials will be true, accurate, complete, timely or non-misleading, and you expressly acknowledge and agree that we will be under no obligation to update or fix them. You shall solely evaluate all information provided by us or on our behalf.

b. Risk of Impersonation

Always verify that any information you believe to be from us is posted or communicated by our authorised representatives. Be cautious of impersonation risks, including fake websites, counterfeit tokens resembling the Tokens, and fraudulent social media accounts or communications. Always ensure you are interacting with legitimate and verified sources. Verify information independently before acting.

c. Forward-Looking Statements

The OPTIMUS Materials or Project Materials may include Forward-Looking Statements based on current expectations, which involve various risks and uncertainties. These risks include factors such as economic, competitive, and technical influences on us and our operations, as well as developments in science, technology, industry trends, competition, regulatory changes, government actions, market dynamics, and other business conditions. There are no guarantees regarding the accuracy of any Forward-Looking Statements. Actual events, results, or outcomes may differ significantly from those expressed or implied, and you should not rely on these statements.

d. Updates

The OPTIMUS Materials and Project Materials may be updated from time to time with or without notice depending on various circumstances, including market conditions, applicable regulation, and governments’ actions.

7. Third-Party Interaction Risks

a. Counterparty Risks

You should always be diligent when dealing with third parties regarding Virtual Assets. Such third parties may include, without limitation, exchanges, custodians, Wallet operators, service providers, fiat gateways, banks, or payment systems. Interactions with third parties carry risks, including fraud, insolvency, contract breaches, or security failures, which could result in the loss of your Virtual Assets.

b. Third-Party Illegal Behaviour 

Due to the nature of permissionless blockchain software, there is a risk that the Website, Projects or their components could be misused by third parties for illegal activities, such as fraud. Such misuse could result in legal and regulatory consequences affecting our and Projects’ operation and development, including lawsuits, government investigations, or other enforcement actions. These consequences may lead to liability and reputational harm, potentially disrupting our and Projects’ operation.

8. Regulatory and Compliance Risks

a. Legal Uncertainty

Our activities, or those of any Project, may be subject to various laws and regulations, including requirements to obtain licenses or other permits as directed by applicable laws. Changes to these laws or evolving interpretations could lead to higher compliance costs or operational challenges, potentially impacting our operation, as well as the development and operation of Projects. In extreme cases, some jurisdictions may ban or heavily restrict our or any Project-related activities. The legal status of Virtual Assets and related transactions is uncertain, and some regions may prohibit owning or transacting with them entirely, which could affect you. The penalties for violating such laws, if any, are unclear. You are responsible for researching and understanding the legal and tax implications of interacting with Virtual Assets in your jurisdiction.

b. Taxation​​

Any acquisition, use, holding, or disposal of Virtual Assets, as well as related transactions, may have tax implications as imposed by state or government authorities. Tax laws for Virtual Assets may be unclear or not well-defined in your region. Additionally, these laws and their interpretations can change and may even be applied retroactively. You are solely responsible for understanding and meeting your tax obligations. Failure to properly report, collect, or pay taxes could result in penalties, fines, or other legal consequences.

9. Unanticipated Risks

In addition to the risks set forth herein, there are unanticipated risks. Further risks may materialise as unanticipated combinations or variations of the discussed risks or the emergence of new risks.
