You own your Digital Assets. As used throughout this Agreement, “Digital Asset” means any digital asset (including a virtual currency or token, NFT, or virtual commodity) which is a digital representation of value based on (or built on top of) a cryptographic protocol of a computer network whether in existence currently or to be invented. Each Digital Asset is on the blockchain. “Seller” means a party such as the Company, its Affiliated Parties, a User, an intermediary, an exchange, or otherwise who engages in the sale of Digital Assets. When you purchase a Digital Asset, you own the rights in the Digital Asset pursuant to the terms and conditions of use relating to the purchase and sale agreement for the Digital Asset. Ownership of the Digital Asset is mediated entirely by the smart contract and the blockchain on which it was purchased. At no point may we seize, freeze, or otherwise modify the ownership of any Digital Assets you own, and you agree that we do not have any responsibility or liability for your purchase and receipt of Digital Assets purchased using our Services and Offerings.
(a) Use. Any and all licenses and terms of use and publication relating to Digital Assets you own or may purchase using our Services and Offerings shall be governed by the terms and conditions of use and sale associated with your Digital Assets. Any display, sharing, communication, publishing, and/or other transmission of images, content or communications relating to your Digital Assets using our Services and Offerings, are subject to the Terms of these Token Terms and our Policies.
(b) Risks. You accept and acknowledge each of the following:
(i) To the extent that you sell your Digital Assets, please be aware that the prices of Digital Assets are extremely volatile and fluctuations in the prices of other Digital Assets and impact the price of your both positively and negatively. Given their volatility, Digital Assets such as should not be considered an investment. You assume all risks in that connection.
(ii) Ownership of a Digital Asset confers ownership of digital artwork only. Accordingly, no information on this Site (or any other documents mentioned therein) is or may be considered to be advice or an invitation to enter into an agreement for any investment purpose. Further, nothing on this Site qualifies or is intended to be an offering of securities in any jurisdiction nor does it constitute an offer or an invitation to purchase shares, securities, or other financial products. Due to the artistic nature of the project, Digital Asset has not been registered with or approved by any regulator in any jurisdiction. It remains your sole responsibility to assure that the purchase of the Digital Asset and the associated art is in compliance with laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.
(iii) You assume all risks associated with using an Internet-based currency, including, but not limited to, the risk of hardware, software and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information stored within your wallet.
(iv) Digital Assets, cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology are relatively new and the regulatory landscape is unsettled. New regulations could negatively impact such technologies impacting the value for your Digital Asset. You understand and accept all risks in that regard.
(v) You assume all responsibility for any adverse effects of disruptions or other issues impacting Ethereum or the Ethereum platform. Filmio has no obligation to monitor any content or transaction.

We will have no liability to you or any third party for any claims or damages that may arise as a result of any transactions that you engage or any other transactions that you conduct via the blockchain networks. Most of the blockchain networks require the payment of a transaction fee for every transaction that occurs on their network. The transaction fees fund the network of computers that run the blockchain networks and facilitate your transaction in the purchase, sale, or transfer of Digital Assets. This means that you will need to pay a fee, and be fully responsible, for each transaction.
Your purchase, whether through an intermediary or otherwise, of Filmio’s FAN Tokens or FILM Tokens or other tokens as the Company may issue (collectively the “Tokens”), as well as continued holding and/or usage of the Tokens are subject to the terms and conditions of these Token Terms. By accessing or using our Services, purchasing the Tokens (whether through an intermediary or otherwise), or continuing to hold or use the Tokens, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of these Token Terms. Before agreeing to these Token Terms, you must read this document in full. If at any time you do not agree to these terms and conditions or do not wish to be bound by these terms and conditions, you may not access or use our Services or engage in on our Offerings and shall not be entitled to purchase the Tokens (whether through an intermediary or otherwise) or continue to hold or use the Tokens. The Company, its Affiliated Parties and/or Sellers shall be under no obligation to maintain a copy of these Terms on the Website after the sale of the Tokens, and you are advised to print or download and keep a copy of these Token Terms for your future reference (if required).

(a) 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 is 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: (i) to encourage community participation, staking and donating the FAN Tokens to vote for and support creative projects, (ii) to purchase products such as NFTs, memorabilia, streaming rights and download rights, and (iii) 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.

There are no refunds or cancellations except as may be required by applicable law or regulation and you waive any rights to be refunded any amounts which you have paid to the Company, its Affiliated Parties and/or Sellers in exchange for Tokens and Digital Assets. You acknowledge and agree that the Company and/or its Affiliated Parties are not under any obligation to issue replacement Tokens and Digital Assets in any event, including but not limited to, any private key is lost, stolen, malfunctioning, destroyed or otherwise inaccessible or unusable for any reason. 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:
(i) Any failure to complete know-your-customer, anti-money laundering, and/or counter terrorist financing checks prescribed by the Company, its Affiliates and/or Sellers;
(ii) A change of business or development plan of the Company, its Affiliates and/or Sellers; and/or
(iii) An adverse change of the regulatory environment.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Company, each Affiliated Parties, and/or the Seller shall not be required to notify you of the outcome of any of our customer identification, due diligence and/or anti-money laundering due diligence checks, or in any case provide reasons for unsatisfactory results based upon due diligence, information and/or reports.

(f) 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://filmio.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/4 . 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:
(i) 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 these Token Terms, and which may change from time to time.
(ii) 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.
(iii) 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.
(iv) 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.
(v) 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.
(vi) 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.
(vii) 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 is 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.
(viii) 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.
(ix) Tax Characterization. The tax characterization of the Tokens is 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.
(x) 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.
(xi) 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.
(xii) 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.
(xiii) 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.
(xiv) 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.
(xv) 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.
You hereby acknowledge and accept that the Company, its Affiliated Parties, and/or Sellers may be required to do the following:
(a) 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.
(b) 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.
(c) 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.
The price that you pay for Tokens and Digital Assets, if any, is exclusive of all applicable taxes (including without limitation obligations to pay value added, sales, use, offerings, withholding taxes, income or similar taxes) (collectively “Taxes”). The onus for determining the Taxes applicable to your purchase, holding and/or usage of all Tokens, Digital Assets and other items purchased by you using the Services and Offerings of the Company, its Affiliated Parties and/or Seller lies solely with you. It is also your sole responsibility to comply with all relevant tax reporting requirements arising out of or in connection with your purchase, holding and/or usage of the Tokens. The Seller, the Company and its Affiliates shall not be responsible for withholding, collecting, reporting, or remitting any Taxes arising from your purchase, holding and/or usage of the Tokens. The Seller cannot and does not provide any tax advice and it recommends that you seek appropriate professional advice in this area if required. The tax treatment of transactions for Digital Assets and Tokens are uncertain, and it is your responsibility to determine what taxes, if any, arise from transactions using our Services and Offerings under these Token Terms. Users are solely responsible for reporting and paying any applicable taxes arising from transactions using our Services and Offerings, and you acknowledge that we do not provide investment, legal, or tax advice governing these transactions. You understand that when required by law, we shall report information with respect to transactions, payments, transfers, or distributions made by or to you with respect to your activities using our Services and Offerings to tax or governmental authorities. We may also withhold taxes applicable to your transactions or to payments or distributions made or deemed made to you to the extent such withholding is required by applicable law. From time to time, we have the right to, and may, ask you for tax documentation or certification of your taxpayer status as required by applicable law, and any failure by you to comply with this request in the time frame identified may result in withholding and/or remission of taxes to a tax authority as required by applicable law.

For security reasons, if we receive credible legal documentation confirming your death or other information leading us to believe you have died, we will freeze your Account and during this time, no transactions may be completed until: (i) your designated fiduciary has opened a new Account, as further described below, and the entirety of your Account has been transferred to such new account; or (ii) we have received proof in a form satisfactory to us that you have not died. If we have reason to believe you may have died but we do not have proof of your death in a form satisfactory to us, you authorize us to make inquiries, whether directly or through third parties, that we consider necessary to ascertain whether you have died. Upon receipt by us of proof satisfactory to us that you have died, your designated fiduciary will be required to open a new Account in order to gain access to the contents of your Account. If you have not designated a fiduciary, then we reserve the right to (i) treat as your fiduciary any person entitled to inherit your Account, as determined by us upon receipt and review of the documentation we, in our sole discretion, deem necessary or appropriate, including (but not limited to) a will, a living trust or a small estate affidavit; or (ii) require an order designating a fiduciary from a court having competent jurisdiction over your estate. In the event we determine, in our sole discretion, that there is uncertainty regarding the validity of the fiduciary designation, we reserve the right to require an order resolving such issue from a court of competent jurisdiction before taking any action relating to your Account.
If we are holding funds (whether fiat currency or Digital Assets) in your account and have no record of you accessing the Services of Offerings for several years and are unable to contact you, applicable law may require we deliver any such funds to the applicable state or jurisdiction as unclaimed property.
