- PURPOSE AND USAGE OF TOKENS
$RAGE is a cryptographic utility token. The purpose of $RAGE is to facilitate the participation in the "Rage Trade" protocol (Rage Trade) which, when fully developed, is envisaged to be a multi-chain perp aggregator supporting transactions across compatible chains such as EVM L2s, L1s, AppChains, Cosmos etc. Rage Trade is not, and will in no case be, an enterprise, corporation, partnership or other entity or body corporate established under the laws of any jurisdiction, but a computerised software algorithm based on which a public transaction ledger for transactions thereon may generated.
The primary utility of $RAGE is to participate in the future governance process of Rage Trade. In the future, $RAGE may be used for transactions within the Rage Trade ecosystem, but such use will be subject to approval by token holders through the governance process. The right to vote is restricted solely to voting on token utilities and features of Rage Trade; it does not entitle $RAGE holders to vote on the operation and management of the Seller, its affiliates, or their assets or the disposition of such assets to token holders, or select the board of directors or similar bodies of these entities, or determine the development direction of these entities, nor does $RAGE 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. After governance launch there will be no individual or corporate entity or other active promoter, sponsor, or group or affiliated party that maintains sole control over Rage Trade.
$RAGE is an integral and indispensable part of Rage Trade because, without it, there would be no mechanism for users to participate in the governance process. The absence of $RAGE would eliminate the common unit needed for both governance and possibly transactions, making the ecosystem unsustainable. The ownership of $RAGE carries no rights, express or implied, in the Seller, its related entitles or its affiliates (each, a Group Entity) other than the right to use $RAGE as a means to enable usage of and interaction with Rage Trade, upon the successful development and deployment of Rage Trade. $RAGE is sold as a useable virtual good, and does not have any functionality or utility outside the ecosystem on Rage Trade – accordingly it is not necessarily merchantable and does not necessarily have any other use or value. The ecosystem on Rage Trade is structured as a "closed system" insofar as the usage of $RAGE is concerned. Further, $RAGE is 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 agree that, if deemed desirable by the Seller, the Seller shall at any time be entitled to re-position, re-brand, re-package or re-market the "Rage Trade" brand/image/goodwill, Rage Trade and/or $RAGE, including selection of a new token ticker or name.
You understand and accept that $RAGE:
- may only be utilised on Rage Trade, not redeemable for any assets of any entity or organisation (or its equivalent value in any other virtual currency), or any payment obligation by any Group Entity;
- does not represent or confer on you any ownership right, shareholding, participation, right, title, or interest of any form with respect to any Group Entity or any other company, enterprise or undertaking, or any of their revenues or assets, including without limitation any right to receive future revenue, dividends, shares, ownership right or stake, share or security, any voting, distribution, redemption, liquidation, proprietary (including all forms of intellectual property), right to receive accounts, financial statements or other financial data, the right to requisition or participate in shareholder meetings, the right to nominate a director or other financial or legal rights or equivalent rights, or intellectual property rights or any other form of participation in or relating to Rage Trade, any Group Entity and/or any service provider of any Group Entity;
- is not intended to be a representation of currency or money (whether fiat or virtual or any form of electronic money), security, commodity, bond, debt instrument, unit in a collective investment scheme or any other kind of financial instrument or investment;
- is not intended to represent any rights under a contract for differences or under any other contract the purpose or pretended purpose of which is to secure a profit or avoid a loss;
- is not a loan to any Group Entity and is not intended to represent a debt owed by any Group Entity, and there shall be no expectation of profit or interest income arising in connection therewith;
- does not provide you with any ownership or other interest in any Group Entity;
- is not any form of financial derivative;
- is not any form of commercial paper or negotiable instrument;
- will not entitle token holders to any promise of fees, dividends, revenue, profits or investment returns, nor should there be any such expectation;
- is not any note, debenture, warrant or other certificate that entitles the holder to any interest, dividend or any kind of return from any Group Entity or any person;
- is not any commodity or asset that any person is obliged to redeem or purchase;
- is not for speculative investment;
- is not intended to constitute securities in Panama or any relevant jurisdiction;
- does not result in any mutual covenants, or agreement to rights and obligations, being entered into between you and other holders of $RAGE inter se; and
- is subject to limitations and conditions in these Terms and all applicable policies as may be published from time to time on Rage Trade.
$RAGE does not have any tangible or physical manifestation, and does not have any intrinsic value (nor does any Group Entity or any other person make any representation or give any commitment as to its value).
You acknowledge and agree that no Group Entity is under any obligation to issue replacement $RAGE in the event any $RAGE or private key is lost, stolen, malfunctioning, destroyed or otherwise inaccessible or unusable for any reason.
IN PARTICULAR, PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SELLER IS IN THE PROCESS OF UNDERTAKING LEGAL AND REGULATORY ANALYSIS OF THE FUNCTIONALITY OF $RAGE. FOLLOWING THE CONCLUSION OF THIS ANALYSIS, THERE MAY BE CHANGES TO THE INTENDED FUNCTIONALITY OF $RAGE IN ORDER TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LEGAL OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS TO WHICH THE SELLER OR $RAGE IS SUBJECT. IN THE EVENT OF ANY CHANGES TO THE INTENDED FUNCTIONALITY OF $RAGE, THE DETAILS OF THE CHANGES SHALL BE PUBLISHED ON THE WEBSITE. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO REGULARLY CHECK THE WEBSITE FOR ANY SUCH NOTICES.
2. SCOPE OF TERMS
Unless otherwise stated herein, your purchase of $RAGE (whether through an intermediary or otherwise), and continued holding and/or usage of $RAGE is governed solely by these Terms. New terms or policies may be published from time to time on Rage Trade at our sole discretion.
The sale of $RAGE does not constitute the provision of any goods and/or services as at the date that these Terms form a binding agreement between the Parties.
The Seller shall use reasonable efforts to procure the development of Rage Trade in accordance with the roadmap as described in the Product Documentation, and shall use reasonable efforts to procure that Rage Trade remains operational for a period of at least 3 years from the date hereof.
Any potential future usage of $RAGE in connection with providing or receiving services or the usage of Rage Trade (when the same is completed and deployed) will be governed primarily by other applicable terms and policies (collectively, the Service Terms and Policies), which will be made available on Rage Trade and/or Website, if the services and Rage Trade is successfully completed and deployed. The Seller may update these Terms or the Service Terms and Policies in our sole and absolute discretion. It shall be your responsibility to regularly check Rage Trade / Website for any such notices.
The Seller and Group Entities may have economic interests that conflict with yours (or those of your affiliates). You agree that nothing in these Terms or any other contractual arrangement between the Parties (and/or their affiliates) will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Group Entity, on the one hand, and you (or your affiliate), on the other hand; and that all such relationships are solely contractual in nature. You acknowledge and agree that (a) the transactions contemplated by these Terms or any other contractual arrangement between the Parties (and/or their affiliates), including any exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder, are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the relevant Group Entity, on the one hand, and you (or your affiliate), on the other, and (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (i) no Group Entity has assumed any advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favour of you (or your affiliate) with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto, or the process leading thereto (irrespective of the contractual relationship between the Parties) or any other obligation to you or your affiliates, and (ii) each Group Entity is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of you, your creditors, or any other person or any affiliates. You acknowledge and agree that you have consulted your own legal and financial advisors to the extent you deem appropriate and that you are responsible for making your own independent judgment with respect to transactions entered into with any Group Entity and the process leading thereto. You agree that you will not claim that any Group Entity has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to you, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
To the extent of any conflict with these Terms, the updated Terms and the Service Terms and Policies which may be published from time to time on Rage Trade shall prevail with respect to any issues relating to the usage of $RAGE in connection with Rage Trade.
The Seller reserves the right to require you to provide us with your personal details (including without limitation full legal name, address and details of the digital wallet from which you have sent the payment), and it is your responsibility to provide correct details. Failure to provide this information will prevent us from transferring $RAGE to your digital wallet.
3. CANCELLATION AND REFUSAL AT SELLER'S DISCRETION
Your purchase of $RAGE (whether through an intermediary or otherwise) from the Seller is final; 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 Seller in exchange for $RAGE or to cancel any purchase.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller reserves the right to refuse or cancel any request(s) to purchase or purchases of $RAGE (as the case may be), at any time in its sole discretion without giving reasons, including without limitation the following:
- in connection with any failure to complete know-your-customer, anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing checks prescribed by the Seller;
- in connection with a change of business or development plan of the Seller;
- in connection with an adverse change of the regulatory environment; or
- where the Seller receives, in aggregate, requests to purchase $RAGE which exceed the amount of $RAGE available for the public sale phase, whereupon the Seller shall have the discretion to (i) cancel requests to purchase $RAGE received after a certain cut-off date/time selected by the Seller, (ii) cancel requests to purchase based on certain eligibility criteria selected by the Seller (for example, based on reputation, jurisdiction, level of community participation, or purchase amount) (iii) implement pro-rata allocation of $RAGE based on the respective purchase amount for each buyer, and/or (iv) any combination of the foregoing.
For the avoidance of doubt, 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 of checks. In the event that the Seller refuses or cancels any request(s) to purchase $RAGE, the price paid by you shall be rejected or refunded (as applicable) in accordance with the Seller's internal policies and procedures, less (i) amounts required to be confiscated by applicable laws, (ii) fees and expenses incurred in connection with the marketing and/or development of Rage Trade, (iii) blockchain network fees and the Seller's administrative fees for processing such transfer (not exceeding 5% of the refund amount), and (iv) the same proportion of purchased $RAGE already made available to you for claiming. The Seller reserves the right to require you to provide the Seller with your personal details (including without limitation correct name, address and details of the digital wallet from which you have sent the payment), and it is your responsibility to provide correct details. Failure to provide this information will prevent the Seller from allocating the token to your digital wallet. No interest will accrue on the value of any refund.
At any time during the sale of $RAGE, the Seller may either temporarily suspend or permanently abort the token sale (whether relating to the private sale or public sale phase, or both) at its sole discretion without providing any reasons whatsoever. During any period of suspension or in the event that the token sale is aborted (whether relating to the private sale or public sale phase, or both), $RAGE will not be available for purchase.
4. NOT AN INVESTMENT VEHICLE; NO REDEMPTION
All sale proceeds of any private or public sale (including the purchase price) shall strictly be applied towards the advancement, research, design and development of, and advocacy for Rage Trade, and pay for various activities including such as technology development and maintenance of protocol / network.
Notwithstanding any of the provisions herein, the Buyer acknowledges and accepts that participation in Rage Trade by purchasing or holding $RAGE is not (and is not intended to be) participation in any financial instrument, investment vehicle, trading vehicle, fund, collective investment scheme or other similar scheme or investment product. $RAGE are strictly not redeemable for any assets of any entity or organisation.
For the avoidance of doubt, where there are future community governance rights implemented in respect of the operations of Rage Trade and project to develop the same (including without limitation formation of any decentralised autonomous organization or similar organisation), community governance rights shall expressly exclude matters in respect of redemption of $RAGE (for any assets of any entity or organisation), and all voting on such matters (including any act or attempt to act in respect of the same) shall be expressly ultra vires.
In particular, "Risk Free Value" (RFV) or "51% attack" are individuals, group, actors, participants or parties which generally attempt to target development projects (similar to the project to develop Rage Trade) for financial gain by acquiring or controlling digital tokens with governance rights and subsequently compelling redemption of tokens from project treasuries / token sale proceeds without regard for the express objectives of the underlying development project or permissible scope of governance rights, and which activities may also include unethical or illegal activities such as spreading misinformation, harassment, social engineering, and instigating or abetting contractual breaches (any such individuals, group, actors, participants or parties, RFV Parties). To the fullest extent permissible by law, the Seller and Group Entities expressly disclaim that $RAGE acquired or controlled by RFV Parties shall not grant the token holder any contractual rights (including without limitation any usage or community governance or voting rights) which would ordinarily be granted to other holders of $RAGE.
5. ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND ASSUMPTION OF RISKS
You acknowledge and agree that there are numerous risks associated with purchasing $RAGE, holding $RAGE, and using $RAGE for participation in Rage Trade. If you have any queries or require any clarification regarding these risks, please contact us at [email protected].
YOU CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THAT BLOCKCHAIN AND VIRTUAL CURRENCIES / TOKENS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION $RAGE, USDT, USDC, BTC OR ETH ARE NEW AND UNVERIFIED TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE BEYOND CONTROL OF ANY GROUP ENTITY. IN PARTICULAR, AND IN ADDITION TO TERMS OF THIS DOCUMENT, YOU BEAR FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY RISKS DESIGNATED IN THE PROPOSED DOCUMENTATION. BY PURCHASING (WHETHER THROUGH AN INTERMEDIARY OR OTHERWISE), HOLDING AND/OR USING $RAGE, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND ASSUME THE FOLLOWING RISKS:
- Risk of changes in functionality
$RAGE does not have any rights, uses, purpose, attributes, functionalities or features, express or implied, except for those which are specifically described in the White Paper and which may change from time to time.
- $RAGE is non-refundable
The Seller is not obliged to provide $RAGE holders with a refund related to $RAGE for any reason, and $RAGE holders acknowledge and agree that they will not receive money or other compensation in lieu of a refund. No promises of future performance or price are or will be made in respect to $RAGE, including no promise of inherent value, no promise of continuing payments, and no guarantee that $RAGE will hold any particular value. Therefore, the recovery of spent resources may be impossible or may be subject to foreign laws or regulations, which may not be the same as the laws in the jurisdiction of $RAGE.
- Uncertain Regulations and Enforcement Actions
The regulatory status of $RAGE 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 $RAGE and/or Rage Trade. Regulatory actions could negatively impact $RAGE and/or Rage Trade in various ways. The Seller or any Group Entity may cease operations in a jurisdiction, or even abandon certain features of the project, 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.
- Risks associated with the Blockchain Protocol
Given that $RAGE and Rage Trade 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 $RAGE and/or Rage Trade. Moreover, advances in cryptography, or technical advances (including without limitation development of quantum computing), could present unknown risks to $RAGE and/or Rage Trade by rendering ineffective the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins that blockchain protocol. The future of cryptography and security innovations are highly unpredictable. Further, products or services available on Rage Trade may require digital assets provided by a user to be deposited with, "staked" with and/or otherwise require interaction with various third party decentralised finance protocols which primarily comprise smart contracts deployed on the relevant blockchain. These third party decentralised finance protocols and the development team behind these protocols are independent third parties, so no Group Entity has control over these protocols or teams. The deployed smart contracts underlying Rage Trade or these decentralised finance protocols are highly experimental in nature, risky, and may contain security vulnerabilities, errors, failures, bugs or economic loopholes which may be exploited by third parties, causing you to suffer losses in connection with any product(s) available on Rage Trade. Neither the Seller nor any Group Entity can be responsible for any such security vulnerabilities, errors, failures, bugs or economic loopholes.
- Security
You are responsible for implementing reasonable measures for securing the digital wallet, vault or other storage mechanism you use to receive and hold $RAGE which you have purchased, 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 your $RAGE. The Seller cannot be responsible for, and is technologically unable to recover, any such losses.
- Insufficient Information
Rage Trade is at the stage of development as of the date of these Terms and its algorithm, code, consensus mechanism and/or various other technical specifications and parameters could be updated and changed frequently and constantly. While the marketing materials and Product Documentation released relating to the development of Rage Trade has been prepared with the then up-to-date key information of Rage Trade, it is not absolutely complete and is subject to adjustments and updates from time to time for optimal development and growth of Rage Trade and/or ecosystem on Rage Trade. The Seller is neither able, nor obliged, to keep you closely posted on every detail of the development of Rage Trade (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 Rage Trade that may emerge from time to time. Due to the nature of the project to develop Rage Trade, you accept that such insufficiency of information disclosure is inevitable and reasonable.
- Security weaknesses.
Hackers or other malicious groups or organisations may attempt to interfere with $RAGE and/or Rage Trade 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 third party or a member of any Group Entity may intentionally or unintentionally introduce weaknesses into the core infrastructure of $RAGE and/or Rage Trade, which could negatively affect $RAGE and/or Rage Trade.
- Risks associated with a lack of markets for $RAGE
There is no prior market for $RAGE and the $RAGE sale may not result in an active or liquid market for $RAGE. $RAGE is intended to be used solely within the network for Rage Trade, hence there may be illiquidity risk with respect to any $RAGE you hold.
$RAGE is not a currency issued by any central bank or national, supra-national or quasi-national organisation, 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 Seller cannot be responsible for, nor does the Seller pursue, the circulation and trading of $RAGE on any market. Trading of $RAGE will merely depend on the consensus on its value between the relevant market participants. No one is obliged to purchase any $RAGE from any holder of $RAGE, including the purchasers, nor does anyone guarantee the liquidity or market price of $RAGE to any extent at any time. Furthermore, $RAGE 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 $RAGE may be in violation of applicable laws. Accordingly, the Seller cannot ensure that there will be any demand or market for $RAGE, or that the price you pay for $RAGE is indicative of any market valuation or market price for $RAGE.
Any secondary market or exchange for trading $RAGE would be run and operated wholly independently of the Group Entities, the sale of $RAGE and Rage Trade. No Group Entity will create such secondary markets nor will it act as an exchange for $RAGE. Even if secondary trading of $RAGE 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 $RAGE (e.g., as denominated in a virtual or fiat currency), such value may be extremely volatile, decline below the price which a holder had paid for $RAGE, and/or even diminish to zero. Holders of $RAGE shall be responsible for all losses in connection with the purchase of or secondary trading of $RAGE, and shall not make any claim against any Group Entity in connection with the same.
- Risk of Uninsured Losses
$RAGE is 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 any Group Entity to offer recourse to you.
- Taxation risks
The tax characterisation of $RAGE is uncertain. The tax characterisation of $RAGE and these Terms is uncertain. The Seller intends to treat $RAGE and these Terms neither as an equity interest nor as a debt interest in the Seller for tax purposes. It is possible that the Seller’s intended treatment of $RAGE and these Terms may be challenged, so that the tax consequences to a purchaser and the Seller relating to $RAGE and these Terms could differ from those described above. You must seek your own tax advice in connection with the purchase, holding and/or usage of $RAGE, which may result in adverse tax consequences to you, including withholding taxes, income taxes and tax reporting requirements.
- Competitors
It is possible that alternative networks could be established that utilise the same or similar code and protocol underlying $RAGE and/or Rage Trade and attempt to re-create similar facilities. Rage Trade may be required to compete with these alternative networks, which could negatively impact $RAGE and/or Rage Trade.
- Insufficient Interest
It is possible that Rage Trade will not be used by a large 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 Rage Trade). Such a lack of use or interest could negatively impact the development of Rage Trade and therefore the potential utility of $RAGE.
- Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure
The legal structure for the Group Entities (including the intra-Group arrangements) is bespoke and there is no generally accepted standard or structure for similar projects in the distributed ledger technology space. The legal structure had been designed to address certain specific legal risks, and attempt to decentralise the management and control, as well as economic risks and benefits relating to Rage Trade and $RAGE; but there is no legal precedent for whether these structures are effective and it is difficult to predict the position that a regulator may adopt. The legal structure and contractual arrangements may not be effective in decentralising management and control, thereby adversely affecting the value of Rage Trade and/or $RAGE.
- Risk of Dissolution of the Seller, any Group Entity or Rage Trade
Start-up companies such as the Seller involve a high degree of risk. Financial and operating risks confronting start-up companies are significant, and the Seller is not immune to these. Start-up companies often experience unexpected problems in the areas of product development, marketing, financing, and general management, among others, which frequently cannot be solved.
It is possible that, due to any number of reasons, including, but not limited to, an unfavourable fluctuation in the value of virtual and/or fiat currencies, decrease in the utility of $RAGE due to negative adoption of Rage Trade, the failure of commercial relationships, or intellectual property ownership challenges, Rage Trade may no longer be viable to operate and the Seller or any Group Entity may be dissolved.
- Risks Arising from Lack of Governance Rights
Because $RAGE confers no governance rights of any kind with respect to Rage Trade or any Group Entity, all decisions involving Rage Trade or any Group Entity will be made by the relevant Group Entity at its sole and absolute discretion, including, but not limited to, decisions to discontinue the services and/or ecosystem on Rage Trade, to create and sell more $RAGE for use in the ecosystem on Rage Trade, or to sell or liquidate any Group Entity. These decisions could adversely affect Rage Trade and $RAGE you hold.
- Loss of Talent
The development of Rage Trade depends on the continued co-operation 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 Rage Trade or its future development. Further, stability and cohesion within the team is critical to the overall development of Rage Trade. There is the possibility that conflict within the team and/or departure of core personnel may occur, resulting in negative influence on the project in the future.
- Failure to develop
There is the risk that the development of Rage Trade 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 $RAGE, unforeseen technical difficulties, shortage of development funds for activities, and/or losses in connection with the acts or omissions of any third party (including without limitation failure of financial institutions, cryptocurrency exchanges, wallet providers or blockchain protocols).
- Forking
Rage Trade is a community project and certain elements are open-sourced. The Seller (nor any Group Entity) does not and cannot monopolise the development, marketing, operation or otherwise of Rage Trade. Any entity may independently develop a patch or upgrade of the source code of Rage Trade or blockchain without prior authorisation of any other party. The acceptance of these patches or upgrades by a sufficient (not necessarily overwhelming) percentage of $RAGE holders could result in a “fork” in the blockchain, and consequently two diverging networks will emerge and remain. Each branch of the blockchain arising from the fork will have its own native cryptographic tokens – accordingly there will be two different versions of $RAGE respectively residing in the two divergent branches with almost identical technical features and functions. The community on Rage Trade may split into two groups in support of the two branches respectively.
Further, it is theoretically possible for each branch of the forked blockchain to be further forked an unlimited number of times. The temporary or permanent existence of forked blockchains could adversely affect the operation of Rage Trade and blockchain and the $RAGE which you hold, and may ruin the sustainability of Rage Trade.
- Other risks
In addition to the aforementioned risks, there are other risks associated with your purchase, holding and usage of $RAGE, including those that the Seller cannot anticipate. Such risks may further materialise as unanticipated variations or combinations of the aforementioned risks.
6. KNOW YOUR CLIENT REGULATIONS AND PERSONAL DATA
Know your client regulations
You hereby acknowledge and accept that:
- The Seller and/or its service providers (including Fjord Foundry) may be required to conduct customer identification, due diligence and anti-money laundering due diligence on all purchasers of $RAGE in compliance with all applicable laws and legislations. The Seller or Fjord Foundry 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 or Fjord Foundry promptly upon request, and you acknowledge that the Seller or Fjord Foundrymay refuse to sell $RAGE to you until you provide such requested information and the Seller or Fjord Foundry has determined that it is permissible to sell you $RAGE under applicable law or regulation.
- The Seller may at any point in time 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.
- If at any time the Seller becomes aware that reliable or adequate data and information are missing from your identity, the Seller reserves the right to 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 necessary.

12. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION
These Terms will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of Panama, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of Panama or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or any of the transactions contemplated in connection with the same (including without limitation the enforceability of this arbitration Clause, any question regarding existence, validity or termination) shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by The Centro de Arbitraje y Conciliación de Panamá (CeCAP) in accordance with the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules for the time being in force, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Clause 12. The seat of the arbitration shall be Panama. The tribunal shall consist of one (1) arbitrator. The language of the arbitration shall be English.
Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms is personal to the user and the Seller, and will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. There will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals.

The arbitrator appointed under this Clause 12 shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the Seller, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same user to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This Clause 12 shall not preclude the Seller from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, you agree that the Seller may initiate a proceeding related to the enforcement or validity of its intellectual property rights in any court having jurisdiction.
Each Party agrees to keep all matters relating to this arbitration, including the arbitral awards, confidential, except as is otherwise required by court order or as is necessary to confirm, set aside or enforce the arbitral award and for disclosure in confidence to each Party’s respective legal, financial or other professional advisors.
13. PARTIAL INVALIDITY
