RISKS AND DISCLAIMERS

PLEASE REVIEW THE SECTION ENTITLED “RISKS” WITHIN THIS WHITEPAPER FOR A FULL DISCUSSION OF POTENTIAL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH TOKEN PURCHASES AND USE OF THE PLATFORM.

RISKS MAY INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:

1. Token and Company-Related Risks

  • Speculative Nature: Acquiring $AETH tokens involves a high degree of risk and should be viewed as a speculative, non-liquid transaction. There is no guarantee of any return, utility, or future functionality.

  • No Rights: $AETH tokens do not confer any ownership rights, equity interest, voting rights, or profit-sharing in the Company.

  • Limited Liquidity: Tokens may not be listed or tradable on secondary markets. Even if they are, there is no guarantee of liquidity or fair market price.

  • Project Failure: The development of the Aetherion Chronicles platform may be delayed or never completed for technical, regulatory, or business reasons.

2. Regulatory Risks

  • Evolving Laws: Blockchain and crypto-related regulations are constantly evolving. Regulatory changes may negatively impact the project’s ability to operate or require significant changes to its structure.

  • Jurisdictional Restrictions: Participation may be limited or prohibited in certain jurisdictions. It is your responsibility to comply with the laws applicable in your country of residence.

  • Lack of Legal Framework: Due to the nascent nature of blockchain law, there is uncertainty regarding the legal treatment of tokens in many jurisdictions.

3. Cybersecurity and Technological Risks

  • Hacking and Theft: The project and its token ecosystem are vulnerable to cyber attacks, including hacking of smart contracts, wallets, servers, or exchanges.

  • Loss of Private Keys: Loss or theft of private keys may result in irreversible loss of access to your tokens.

  • Smart Contract Bugs: Smart contracts may contain bugs or vulnerabilities which could be exploited, causing loss of funds or functionality.

  • Third-Party Dependence: The project may rely on third-party infrastructure, including wallet providers, exchanges, oracles, and others who may fail or act maliciously.

4. Market and Volatility Risks

  • Price Volatility: The value of $AETH tokens may fluctuate drastically due to market conditions, speculation, or general crypto volatility.

  • Lack of Demand: Tokens may have limited or no demand, making resale or utility difficult or impossible.

  • External Economic Events: Global events such as pandemics, geopolitical tensions, or economic downturns may impact the project or the value of tokens.

Conflicts of Interest

The Company’s management, developers, and advisors may hold tokens or have financial interest in the project. These interests may conflict with yours as a token holder.

The Company’s team may be involved in other blockchain or technology projects, and therefore may not devote full time or resources to the development of Aetherion Chronicles.

No independent legal or financial counsel has been provided to token purchasers. All documentation, including this whitepaper, has been prepared by the project team or its agents.

Operational and Organizational Risks

  • Startup Risk: The Company is a newly-formed entity and has a limited operational history. The project may fail due to mismanagement, lack of funding, or strategic errors.

  • Lack of Insurance: The project may not be insured against risks such as cyber-attacks, financial loss, or legal claims.

  • Dispute Resolution: Any legal disputes related to the project or the tokens shall be resolved under the laws of the governing jurisdiction, as defined herein.

Cybersecurity and Data Risks

  • Data Breaches: Personal or financial data stored or processed by the project or third-party providers may be subject to unauthorized access or leaks.

  • Infrastructure Failure: Network or server failures may disrupt access to the platform or cause loss of assets.

  • Phishing and Social Engineering: Token holders may be targeted by scams. It is your responsibility to safeguard your credentials.

Legal Jurisdiction and Dispute Resolution
