- Purpose of the Tokens. FAN Tokens are cryptographic utility tokens. The purpose of the FAN Tokens are to facilitate the participation in the “Filmio Web3 ecosystem (the “Platform”) which, when fully developed, is a Web3 community and marketplace to democratize the film industry by allowing creators of project to post and market their creative projects and for the Users of our Services to vote for the projects they desire to support by staking and/or donating their FAN Tokens. Users will also be able to create, display, market, sell and distribute their favorite NFTs, use various Web3 tools, and interact with other Users.
FAN Tokens are designed to be the only mechanism by which Users may obtain access to certain products and services on Film.io and other Services (when the same is completed and deployed). It is not intended to be a medium of exchange accepted by the public, or a section of the public, as payment for goods or services or for the discharge of a debt. For each exchange of services or products on Film.io, the costs are to be quantified in our Tokens paid to Film.io and/or the other party providing the services or products being exchanged. The goal of introducing the Tokens are to provide a convenient and secure mode of payment and settlement between User and participants who interact within Film.io. Further, the Tokens may be used as incentives and rewards for Users and participants.
Currently, the Company provides the following uses for the FAN Tokens at Film.io: (a) to encourage community participation, staking and donating the FAN Tokens to vote for and support creative projects, (b) to purchase products such as NFTs, memorabilia, streaming rights and download rights, and (c) to earn Fan Governance Rewards (“FGRs”) for staking and providing value on the Platform.
Additional Services and Offerings of the Company will be announced once finalized. The following features are planned for the Tokens: (a) propose and vote on on-chain governance proposals to determine future features and/or parameters of Film.io (the right to vote is restricted solely to voting on features of Film.io; it does not entitle Token holders to vote on the operation and management of the Company, Affiliates, Sellers, or other persons, or their assets or the disposition of such assets to token holders, or select the board of directors of these entities, or determine the development direction of these entities, does not constitute any equity interest in any of these entities or any collective investment scheme; the arrangement is not intended to be any form of joint venture or partnership); (b) access to tools for creating, displaying, marketing, selling and transferring their NFTs, (c) allow holders access to play/utilize exclusive in-game content where they can earn Tokens or other NFTs, (d) the ability to obtain rewards from the projects they support based upon their success, and (e) access to exclusive VIP communities, events and opportunities.
Immediately after the token sale phase, the FAN Tokens will have the functionality as described above. As development of Film.io progresses further, the various features of the FAN Tokens would be implemented incrementally and become available over time.
The Tokens are an integral and indispensable part of Film.io because in the absence of the FAN Tokens, there would be no common unit of exchange for goods, services or incentives to motivate creators and Users to contribute their efforts, reducing the ability of the Platform to achieve it purpose. The ownership of the Tokens carries no rights, express or implied, in the Company, or Affiliated Parties other than the right to use the FAN Tokens as a means to enable usage of and interaction with Film.io. The FAN Tokens are sold as a useable virtual good, and does not have any functionality or utility outside the ecosystem on Film.io — accordingly it is not necessarily merchantable and does not necessarily have any other use or value. The ecosystem on Film.io is structured as a “closed system” insofar as the usage of the Tokens are concerned. Further, the Tokens are not a consumer product and to the maximum extent permitted by law, its holders accept explicitly and agree that they are not covered by the consumer protection regulation of any jurisdiction.

You are solely responsible for providing the correct digital wallet address and maintaining the security and functioning of your digital wallet. The Company, each Affiliate, and/or Seller each reserve the right to refuse or cancel any request(s) to purchase or purchases of Tokens and Digital Assets at any time in their sole discretion, with or without reason, and without giving reasons for cancelation or refusal, including, but not limited to, in connection with the following:

- Acknowledgement and Assumption of Risks. You acknowledge and agree that there are numerous risks associated with purchasing, holding, utilizing, selling, and/or transferring Tokens and Digital Assets, and by participation in the Services and Offerings (including but not limited to Film.io) of Company and its Affiliated Parties. If you have any queries or require any clarification regarding these risks, please click the following link, fill out the appropriate form and submit the form, https://support.film.io . YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BLOCKCHAIN AND VIRTUAL CURRENCIES, TOKENS (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ETH, BTC, USDT, USDC), DIGITAL ASSETS AND/OR NFTS ARE NEW AND UNVERIFIED TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE BEYOND CONTROL OF THE COMPANY OR ANY AFFILIATE. IN PARTICULAR, AND IN ADDITION TO TERMS OF THIS DOCUMENT, YOU BEAR FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR, AND ASSUME, ANY AND ALL RISKS THAT MAY ARISE BY PURCHASING, HOLDING AND/OR USING THE TOKENS AND DIGITAL ASSETS AND USING THE SERVICES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE FOLLOWING RISKS:
- Changes in Functionality. the Tokens do not have any rights, uses, purpose, attributes, functionalities or features, express or implied, except for those which are specifically described in this Agreement and which may change from time to time.
- Non-Refundable. The Seller is not obliged to provide the Tokens holders with a refund related to the Tokens for any reason, and the Tokens holders acknowledge and agree that they will not receive a refund including any money, tokens, Digital Assets, NFTs, or other compensation in lieu of a refund. No promises of future performance or price are or will be made in respect to the Tokens, including no promise of inherent value, no promise of continuing payments, and no guarantee that the Tokens will hold any particular value. Therefore, the recovery of spent resources may be impossible or may be subject to foreign laws or regulations.
- Uncertain and Shifting Regulatory Environment. The regulatory status relating to the Tokens and distributed ledger technology is unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions, but numerous regulatory authorities across jurisdictions have been outspoken about considering the implementation of regulatory regimes which govern virtual currencies or virtual currency markets. It is impossible to predict how, when or whether regulatory agencies may apply existing regulations or create new regulations with respect to such technology and its applications, including Film.io., our Services and the Tokens. Regulatory actions could negatively impact the Tokens and/or the Company in various ways. The Company, the Seller or any Affiliate may cease operations in a jurisdiction in the event that regulatory actions, or changes to law or regulation, make it illegal to operate in such jurisdiction, or commercially undesirable to obtain the necessary regulatory approval(s) to operate in such jurisdiction.
- Blockchain Protocol Risks. Given that the Tokens, Film.io and other Services and Offerings the Company are based on blockchain protocol and architecture, any malfunction, breakdown or abandonment of the relevant blockchain protocol or architecture may have a material adverse effect on the Tokens and/or Services and Offerings. Moreover, advances in cryptography, or technical advances (including without limitation development of quantum computing), could present unknown risks to the Tokens and/or Services and Offerings by rendering ineffective the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins that blockchain protocol. The future of cryptography and security innovations are highly unpredictable.
- Security. You are responsible for implementing reasonable measures for securing the digital wallet, vault or other storage mechanism you use to receive and hold the Tokens which you have purchased or received, including any requisite passwords, tokens, private key(s) or other credentials necessary to access such storage mechanism(s). If your passwords, tokens, private key(s) or other access credentials are lost, you may lose access to you’re the Tokens. The Company, Affiliated Parties and Sellers are not responsible for, and is unable to recover, any such losses. Additionally, hackers or other malicious groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with the Tokens and/or the Company’s Services and Offerings 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, there is a risk that a user, third party or a member of any Affiliate may intentionally or unintentionally introduce weaknesses into the core infrastructure of the Tokens and/or the Company’s Services and Offerings, which could negatively affect the Tokens and/or the Company’s Services and Offerings.
- Insufficient Information. It is anticipated that the Company’s algorithm, code, consensus mechanism and/or various other technical specifications and parameters will be updated and changed frequently and constantly. While the marketing materials and Whitepaper released relating to the development of Film.io has been prepared with the information available at the time of publication and upon certain forecasts and assumptions of the Company at the time it was written. The whitepaper, written communications and other materials are constantly changing and evolving therefore should not be deemed complete and are subject to modifications, edits, adjustments and updates from time to time. The Seller is neither able, nor obliged, to keep you closely posted on any detail of the development of the Company’s Services and Offerings (including its progress and expected milestones no matter whether rescheduled or not) and therefore will not necessarily provide you with timely and full access to all the information relating to the Company’s Services and Offerings that may emerge from time to time. Due to the nature of the Company’s Services and Offerings, you accept that such insufficiency of information disclosure is inevitable and reasonable.
- Market Risk. The market for the Company’s Services, Offerings and The Tokens are currently in its early stages and there is no guarantee that an active or liquid market for the Tokens will exist. The Tokens are intended to be used solely within the network for Film.io and such other Services and Offerings as the Company may provide in the future, hence there may be illiquidity risk with respect to any the Tokens you hold. the Tokens are not a currency issued by any central bank or national, supra-national or quasi-national or other governmental organization, nor is it backed by any hard assets or other credit, nor is it a “commodity” in the usual and traditional sense of that word. The Company, the Seller and Affiliated Parties are not responsible for the liquidity, circulation, trading, exchange or market for the Tokens. The value and demand for the Tokens are dependent upon the consensus of relevant market participants. No one is obliged to purchase any the Tokens from any holder of the Tokens, including the purchasers, nor does anyone guarantee the liquidity or market price of the Tokens to any extent at any time. Furthermore, the Tokens may not be resold to a purchaser who is a citizen, national, resident (tax or otherwise), domiciliary or green card holder of a Restricted Country or to purchasers where the purchase of the Tokens may be in violation of applicable laws. Accordingly, the Seller cannot ensure that there will be any demand or market for the Tokens, or that the price you pay for the Tokens are indicative of any market valuation or market price for the Tokens. Any secondary market or exchange for trading the Tokens would be operated independently of the Company, its Affiliated Parties, and the Seller and we do not intend to create any secondary markets nor will it act as an exchange for the Tokens. Even if secondary trading of the Tokens are facilitated by third party exchanges, such exchanges may be relatively new and subject to little or no regulatory oversight, making them more susceptible to fraud or manipulation. Furthermore, to the extent that third parties do ascribe an external exchange value to the Tokens (e.g., as denominated in a virtual or fiat currency), such value may be extremely volatile, decline below the price which you have paid for the Tokens, and/or diminish to zero.
- Uninsured Loss. the Tokens are uninsured unless you specifically obtain private insurance to insure them. In the event of loss or loss of utility value, there is no public insurer or private insurance arranged by us, to offer recourse to you.
- Tax Characterization. The tax characterization of the Tokens are uncertain. The Company and its Affiliated Parties intend to treat the Tokens as utility tokens for consumptive use and are not to be construed as an equity interest, or as a debt interest in the Seller for tax purposes. It is possible that the Seller’s intended treatment of the Tokens and these terms and conditions may be challenged, so that the tax consequences to a purchaser and the Company, its Affiliated Parties, and the Seller relating to the Tokens and could differ from those described above and in our materials. You must seek your own tax advice in connection with the purchase, holding and/or usage of the Tokens, which may result in adverse tax consequences to you, including withholding taxes, income taxes and tax reporting requirements.
- Competition. It is possible that alternative networks could be established that utilize the same or similar code and protocol underlying the Tokens and/or the Company’s other Services and Offerings. The alternative networks could attempt to re-create similar facilities to that provided by the Company. The Company may be required to compete with these alternative networks, which could negatively impact the Tokens and our Services and Offerings.
- Insufficient Interest. It is possible that the Company’s Services and Offerings will not be used by a sufficient number of individuals, companies and other entities or that there will be limited public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems (such as Film.io). Such a lack of use or interest could negatively impact the development of the Company’s Services and Offerings and therefore the potential utility and value of the Tokens.
- Dissolution of the Company and its Affiliated Parties. Start-up companies often experience unexpected problems in the areas of raising sufficient capital, recruiting talent, product development, marketing, financing, and general management, among others, which frequently cannot be solved. Financial, market, business and operating risks confronting start-up companies are significant, and the Company and its Affiliated Parties are not immune to these. It is possible that, due to any number of reasons, including, but not limited to, an unfavorable fluctuation in the value of virtual and/or fiat currencies, decrease in the utility of the Tokens, the failure of commercial relationships, or intellectual property ownership challenges, the Company, its Affiliated Parties and Sellers may become insolvent, cease to operate, and be dissolved.
- It is the Company’s intent to create and empower a DAO to, over time, and at appropriate times to ensure quality control and a smooth transition, increasingly manage and govern the Services and Offerings of the Filmio Platform as the Company reduces its active participation in running, operating, managing, and governing the Filmio Platform . The Tokens confer no governance rights of any kind with respect to the Company, its Affiliated Parties and/or Sellers. However, the Tokens may be used to access the Services and Offerings of the Company, its Affiliated Parties and/or Sellers, and participate in the DAO by using the Tokens with the intent that the Tokens are increasingly used by the DAO to vote on matters concerning the governance, operations and direction of Film.io and the Tokens. The Tokens do not contain any rights or provisions that would allow the Token holders to have any claim against the Company, its Affiliated Parties and/or Sellers, including but not limited to, claims for equity, appreciation rights, rights of first refusal, warrants, options, debt obligations, and/or any decisions generally reserved to the management and/or the board of directors of the Company and/or its Affiliated Parties, including, but not limited to, discontinuing the Services, Offerings, Sites and/or ecosystem of the Company or Affiliated Parties,dissolving or selling the assets of the Company or any of its Affiliated Parties, obligating the Company or any of its Affiliated Parties to any contract, debt obligations, settlements, awards, judgments or other liabilities, filing a petition in bankruptcy or making an assignment for the benefit of credits, creating more the Tokens for use in the ecosystem on Film.io. These decisions could adversely affect Filmio and the Tokens you hold. This clause does not interfere and is independent from any rights, responsibilities, or obligations of the Company, its Affiliates and/or Sellers associated with a decentralized autonomous organization.
- Loss of Talent. The continued development and improvement of the Company’s Services and Offerings depends on the continued cooperation of the existing technical team and expert consultants, who are highly knowledgeable and experienced in their respective sectors. The loss of any member may adversely affect the Company’s Services and Offerings or its future development. Further, stability and cohesion within the team is critical to the overall development of the Company’s Services and Offerings Film.io. There is the possibility that conflict within the team and/or departure of core personnel may occur, resulting in negative impact on the Company’s Services and Offerings and therefore the utility, value, and demand for the Tokens.
- Failure to Develop. There is the risk that the development of our Services and Offerings will not be executed or implemented as planned, for a variety of reasons, including without limitation the event of a decline in the prices of any digital asset, virtual currency or the Tokens, unforeseen technical difficulties, and shortage of development funds for activities.
- Other Risks. In addition to the aforementioned risks, there are other risks associated with your purchase, holding and usage of the Tokens, staking your Tokens, including those that the Seller cannot anticipate and result from force majeure. Such risks may further materialize as unanticipated variations or combinations of the aforementioned risks.
- KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER (“KYC”) AND AMERICAN MONEY LAUNDERING (“AML”) REGULATIONS
You hereby acknowledge and accept that the Company, its Affiliated Parties, and Sellers may be required to do the following:
- Conduct customer identification, due diligence and anti-money laundering due diligence on all purchasers of the Tokens in compliance with all applicable laws and legislations. The Seller may determine, in its sole discretion, that it is necessary to obtain certain information about you in order to comply with these laws and legislations. You agree to provide such information to the Seller promptly upon request, and you acknowledge that the Seller may refuse to sell the Tokens to you until you provide such requested information and the Seller has determined that it is permissible to sell you the Tokens under applicable law or regulation.
- Request information and/or documentation to establish that its identification records, as well as the information that form your profile, remain completely updated. In this respect, the Seller reserves the right to examine and check on a regular basis the validity and adequacy of your identification data and information maintained. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller shall not be required to notify you of the outcome of any of its customer identification, due diligence and/or anti-money laundering due diligence checks, or in any case provide reasons for unsatisfactory results of checks.
- Take all necessary actions to collect the missing data and information (whether from you or from third parties) so as to update and complete your profile as the Company, its Affiliated Parties and Sellers deem required in its discretion.
If you fail or refuse to submit, within a reasonable timeframe, the required data and identification information for the updating of your identity and, as a consequence, the Seller is unable to comply with any laws, legislations regulations or directives relating to customer identification requirements, the Seller will not be able to sell the Tokens and/or continue its relationship with you, and the Seller may be required to submit a report of suspicious transactions/activities to the relevant authorities.
