You agree that you are acquiring $AEVO to participate in Aevo and to obtain services on the ecosystem thereon. The Company, the Distributor and their respective affiliates would develop and contribute to the underlying source code for Aevo. The Company is acting solely as an arms’ length third party in relation to the $AEVO distribution, and not in the capacity as a financial advisor or fiduciary of any person with regard to the distribution of $AEVO.
Nature of the Token Documentation
The Token Documentation is a conceptual paper that articulates some of the main design principles and ideas for the creation of a digital token to be known as $AEVO. The Token Documentation and the Website are intended for general informational purposes only and do not constitute a prospectus, an offer document, an offer of securities, a solicitation for investment, any offer to sell any product, item, or asset (whether digital or otherwise), or any offer to engage in business with any external individual or entity provided in said documentation. The information herein may not be exhaustive and does not imply any element of, or solicit in any way, a legally-binding or contractual relationship. There is no assurance as to the accuracy or completeness of such information and no representation, warranty or undertaking is or purported to be provided as to the accuracy or completeness of such information. Where the Token Documentation or the Website includes information that has been obtained from third party sources, the Company, the Distributor, their respective affiliates and/or the Aevo Project Contributors have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of such information.

Validity of Token Documentation and Website
Nothing in the Token Documentation or the Website constitutes any offer by the Company, the Distributor, or the Aevo Project Contributors to sell any $AEVO (as defined herein) nor shall it or any part of it nor the fact of its presentation form the basis of, or be relied upon in connection with, any contract or investment decision. Nothing contained in the Token Documentation or the Website is or may be relied upon as a promise, representation or undertaking as to the future performance of Aevo. The agreement between the Distributor (or any third party) and you, in relation to any distribution or transfer of $AEVO, is to be governed only by the separate terms and conditions of such agreement. The information set out in the Token Documentation and the Website is for community discussion only and is not legally binding.

The Terms and Conditions must be read together with the Token Documentation.

none of the Company, the Distributor, their respective affiliates, and/or the Aevo Project Contributors shall be responsible for or liable for the value of $AEVO, the transferability and/or liquidity of $AEVO and/or the availability of any market for $AEVO through third parties or otherwise; and
you acknowledge, understand and agree that you are not eligible to participate in the distribution of $AEVO if you are a citizen, national, resident (tax or otherwise), domiciliary and/or green card or permanent visa holder of a geographic area or country (i) where it is likely that the distribution of $AEVO would be construed as the sale of a security (howsoever named), financial service or investment product and/or (ii) where participation in token distributions is prohibited by applicable law, decree, regulation, treaty, or administrative act (including without limitation the United States of America, Canada, and the People's Republic of China); and to this effect you agree to provide all such identity verification document when requested in order for the relevant checks to be carried out.
The Company, the Distributor and the Aevo Project Contributors do not and do not purport to make, and hereby disclaims, all representations, warranties or undertaking to any entity or person (including without limitation warranties as to the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of the contents of the Token Documentation or the Website, or any other materials published by the Company or the Distributor). To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, the Distributor, their respective affiliates and service providers shall not be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential or other losses of any kind, in tort, contract or otherwise (including, without limitation, any liability arising from default or negligence on the part of any of them, or any loss of revenue, income or profits, and loss of use or data) arising from the use of the Token Documentation or the Website, or any other materials published, or its contents (including without limitation any errors or omissions) or otherwise arising in connection with the same. Prospective acquirors of $AEVO should carefully consider and evaluate all risks and uncertainties (including financial and legal risks and uncertainties) associated with the distribution of $AEVO, the Company, the Distributor and the Aevo Project Contributors.
$AEVO Token
$AEVO are designed to be utilised, and that is the goal of the $AEVO distribution. In particular, it is highlighted that $AEVO:
does not have any tangible or physical manifestation, and does not have any intrinsic value/pricing (nor does any person make any representation or give any commitment as to its value);
is non-refundable, not redeemable for any assets of any entity or organisation, and cannot be exchanged for cash (or its equivalent value in any other digital asset) or any payment obligation by the Company, the Distributor or any of their respective affiliates;
does not represent or confer on the token holder any right of any form with respect to the Company, the Distributor (or any of their respective affiliates), or their revenues or assets, including without limitation any right to receive future dividends, revenue, shares, ownership right or stake, share or security, any voting, distribution, redemption, liquidation, proprietary (including all forms of intellectual property or licence rights), 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 Aevo, the Company, the Distributor and/or their service providers;
is not intended to represent any rights under a contract for differences or under any other contract the purpose or intended purpose of which is to secure a profit or avoid a loss;
is not intended to be a representation of money (including electronic money), payment instrument, security, commodity, bond, debt instrument, unit in a collective investment or managed investment scheme or any other kind of financial instrument or investment;
is not a loan to the Company, the Distributor or any of their respective affiliates, is not intended to represent a debt owed by the Company, the Distributor or any of their respective affiliates, and there is no expectation of profit nor interest payment; and
does not provide the token holder with any ownership or other interest in the Company, the Distributor or any of their respective affiliates.
Notwithstanding the $AEVO distribution, users have no economic or legal right over or beneficial interest in the assets of the Company, the Distributor, or any of their affiliates after the token distribution. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Company nor the Distributor deals in, or is in the business of buying or selling any virtual asset or digital payment token (including $AEVO). Any sale or distribution of tokens would be performed during a restricted initial period solely for the purpose of obtaining project development funds, raising market/brand awareness, as well as community building and social engagement; this is not conducted with any element of repetitiveness or regularity which would constitute a business.
