BY CLICKING "I ACCEPT" BELOW OR INDICATING YOUR ACCEPTANCE IN AN ADJOINING BOX, PROVIDING ANY REQUESTED INFORMATION, OR OTHERWISE PURCHASING $ATH, YOU ARE CONFIRMING THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE TERMS IN THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT ALL OF THESE TERMS, THEN WE ARE UNWILLING TO SELL $ATH TO YOU AND YOU MAY NOT PURCHASE $ATH. THE PURCHASE OF DIGITAL TOKENS IS SUBJECT TO A NUMBER OF RISKS, SOME OF WHICH THE SELLER (AS DEFINED HEREIN) HAS SET OUT IN THESE TERMS. IF YOU ARE IN ANY DOUBT AS TO THE SUITABILITY OR OTHERWISE OF PURCHASING, HOLDING OR USAGE OF THE DIGITAL TOKENS REFERRED TO IN THESE TERMS, YOU SHOULD SEEK APPROPRIATE PROFESSIONAL ADVICE. PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF TOKEN SALE AND USAGE CAREFULLY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS (AS DEFINED HEREIN), DO NOT PURCHASE (WHETHER THROUGH AN INTERMEDIARY OR OTHERWISE) OR CONTINUE TO HOLD OR USE $ATH (AS DEFINED BELOW). THESE TERMS DO NOT CONSTITUTE A PROSPECTUS OR OFFERING DOCUMENT, AND ARE NOT AN OFFER TO SELL, NOR THE SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO BUY ANY INVESTMENT OR FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT IN ANY JURISDICTION.
NOTHING IN THESE TERMS CONSTITUTES LEGAL, FINANCIAL, BUSINESS OR TAX ADVICE AND YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN LEGAL, FINANCIAL, TAX OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVISER BEFORE ENGAGING IN ANY ACTIVITY IN CONNECTION HEREWITH.
NEITHER THE SELLER NOR ANY GROUP ENTITY IS A REGISTERED BROKER, ANALYST OR INVESTMENT ADVISOR. ALL INFORMATION OR DOCUMENTATION PROVIDED BY THE SELLER OR ANY GROUP ENTITY IS PURELY FOR GUIDANCE AND INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES. $ATH IS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE FOR PARTICIPATION IN ATHOS FINANCE, WHICH IS AN EXPERIMENTAL PROOF-OF-CONCEPT ECOSYSTEM AS DEFINED WITHIN THE TOKEN DOCUMENTATION. THESE TERMS AND ALL INFORMATION RELATING TO THESE TERMS SHOULD BE INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED AND CONFIRMED. NEITHER THE SELLER NOR ANY GROUP ENTITY ACCEPTS ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE WHATSOEVER CAUSED IN RELIANCE UPON SUCH INFORMATION OR SERVICES.
These Terms constitute a binding legal agreement between you and the Seller. It contains the terms that govern your purchase of $ATH as well as any smart contracts (if any) related to the purchase and/or distribution of $ATH.
The purchase price for $ATH shall be USD0.2 per $ATH. The aggregate purchase price to be paid by you for $ATH shall be as indicated in the adjoining "ACCEPTANCE" OR "CONFIRMATION" page (the
Purchase Price). The Purchase Price for $ATH shall be payable in USDC to the Seller's designated wallet address as may be notified by the Seller to you in the adjoining "ACCEPTANCE" OR "CONFIRMATION" page.
$ATH purchased shall be delivered promptly after the date that the smart contract which generates $ATH is deployed on the Moonbeam network (or such other blockchain network or Layer-2 solution). Purchased $ATH shall be delivered to your digital wallet address as notified to the Seller in the adjoining "ACCEPTANCE" OR "CONFIRMATION" page. Upon the delivery of $ATH, the Seller shall be deemed to have fully performed all its obligations under these Terms and shall have no further obligations under these Terms. You accept and agree that failure to provide a valid digital wallet address will prevent the Seller from delivering $ATH to you.
Your purchase, whether through an intermediary or otherwise, of $ATH tokens (
$ATH) from Mount Athos Global Corp., a company incorporated or to be incorporated in the Republic of Panama (the
Seller, or
us), as well as continued holding and/or usage of $ATH is subject to these Terms and Conditions (the
Terms). Each of you and the Seller is a “Party,” and together the “Parties.” Please read the below terms and conditions carefully before registering, accessing, browsing, downloading and/or using the website at https://athos.finance/ and any sub-domains (the
Website). By accessing or using the Website, purchasing $ATH (whether through an intermediary or otherwise), or continuing to hold or use $ATH, you agree to be bound by these Terms (and all terms incorporated by reference).
Before agreeing to the 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 the Website, and shall not be entitled to purchase $ATH (whether through an intermediary or otherwise) or continue to hold or use $ATH. The Seller shall be under no obligation to maintain a copy of these Terms on the Website after the sale of $ATH, and you are advised to print or download and keep a copy of these Terms for your future reference (if required).
1. PURPOSE AND USAGE OF TOKENS $ATH is a cryptographic utility token. The purpose of $ATH is to facilitate the participation in the "Athos Finance" platform (
Athos Finance) which, when fully developed, is envisaged to be a decentralized delta-one asset protocol built on the Moonbeam network. Synthetic assets on Athos Finance will include cryptocurrencies, commodities and traditional assets such as forex. Athos provides users with on-chain price exposure through synthetic assets with infinite liquidity and no slippage. The backbone to Athos Finance is the collateralized debt pool, backed by Athos token ($ATH), and eventually other digital assets. Users incur debt and become part of the debt pool when they stake digital assets to build synthetic assets. All stakers take on the risk of the debt pool and act as a pooled counter-party against all synthetic asset trades on Athos Finance. Users who have provided collateralized assets to the debt pool are able to build Athos USD ($athUSD) which can then be used to purchase synthetic assets on Athos exchange. The collateralized assets are subsequently pooled to enable instantaneous liquidity and serve as a counterparty. Athos Finance 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.
$ATH is designed to be the only mechanism by which a user may obtain access to certain products and services on Athos Finance (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 Athos Finance, the costs are to be quantified in $ATH and paid to Athos Finance and/or the other party providing the service
. The goal of introducing $ATH is to provide a convenient and secure mode of payment and settlement between participants who interact within Athos Finance. Further, $ATH is to be paid to users as incentives for contributions to and/or maintenance of Athos Finance. Given that additional $ATH will be awarded to a user based only on its actual usage, activity and contribution on Athos Finance, users and/or holders of $ATH which did not actively participate in Athos Finance will not receive any $ATH incentives.
The precise scope of Athos Finance will be developed further and will be announced once finalised. The following features are planned for $ATH: (a) $ATH functions as native platform currency within the system, so users can stake their $ATH as collateral to be able to mint $athUSD, the native synthetic stable-coin of the Athos Ecosystem, or other synthetic assets; (b) $ATH tokens are the base collateral to create synthetic assets using Athos Buildr, which is a decentralized application for of collateral pool and synthetic assets. The creation of synthetic assets will require a pledge ratio over 100%, i.e. over-pledged. Over-pledging is necessary to ensure the volatility of the pledged assets do not adversely affect the stability of the entire system; (c) as part of the platform's go-to-market strategy, Athos Finance adopts an inflationary tokenomics to incentivize users to provide liquidity and undertaking risk for transactions by traders in various synthetic tokens by awarding $ATH emissions, until a terminal floor is reached; (d) to promote decentralised community governance for the network, $ATH would allow holders to propose and vote on governance proposals to determine future features, upgrades and/or parameters of Athos Finance, or provide feedback. For example, users may vote on distribution models, assets to be listed, oracle selection, pledge ratio etc. The right to vote is restricted solely to voting on features of Athos Finance; it does not entitle $ATH 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 $ATH 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 Athos Finance. For the avoidance of doubt, the community does not have legal control over any matters relating to the Seller (or any of its affiliates) or any of its assets, or any of its affiliated companies (including without limitation the selection of governing board of the relevant company, over corporate matters, development direction, specific projects, or deployment of that company's assets, which shall be the final responsibility of the governing board of the relevant company).
Immediately after the token sale phase, $ATH would have limited functionality. As development of Athos Finance progresses further, the various features of $ATH would be implemented incrementally and become available over time.
$ATH is an integral and indispensable part of Athos Finance because in the absence of $ATH, there would be no common unit of exchange for goods and services or economic incentive to motivate users to contribute, thus rendering the ecosystem on Athos Finance unsustainable. The ownership of $ATH 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 $ATH as a means to enable usage of and interaction with Athos Finance, upon the successful development and deployment of Athos Finance. $ATH is sold as a useable virtual good, and does not have any functionality or utility outside the ecosystem on Athos Finance – accordingly it is not necessarily merchantable and does not necessarily have any other use or value. The ecosystem on Athos Finance is structured as a "closed system" insofar as the usage of $ATH is concerned. Further, $ATH 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 "Athos" brand/image/goodwill, Athos Finance and/or $ATH, including selection of a new token ticker.
You understand and accept that $ATH:
a. may only be utilised on Athos Finance, is non-refundable and cannot be exchanged for cash (or its equivalent value in any other virtual currency) or any payment obligation by any Group Entity;
b. 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 Athos Finance, any Group Entity and/or any service provider of any Group Entity;
c. 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;
d. 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;
e. 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;
f. does not provide you with any ownership or other interest in any Group Entity;
g. is not any form of financial derivative;
h. is not any form of commercial paper or negotiable instrument;
i. will not entitle token holders to any promise of fees, dividends, revenue, profits or investment returns, nor should there be any such expectation;
j. 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;
k. is not any commodity or asset that any person is obliged to redeem or purchase;
l. is not for speculative investment;
m. is not intended to constitute securities in Singapore or any relevant jurisdiction;
n. does not result in any mutual covenants, or agreement to rights and obligations, being entered into between you and other holders of $ATH
inter se; and
o. is subject to limitations and conditions in these Terms and all applicable policies as may be published from time to time on Athos Finance.
$ATH 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 $ATH in the event any $ATH 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 $ATH. FOLLOWING THE CONCLUSION OF THIS ANALYSIS, THERE MAY BE CHANGES TO THE INTENDED FUNCTIONALITY OF $ATH IN ORDER TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LEGAL OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS TO WHICH THE SELLER OR $ATH IS SUBJECT. IN THE EVENT OF ANY CHANGES TO THE INTENDED FUNCTIONALITY OF $ATH, 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 $ATH (whether through an intermediary or otherwise), and continued holding and/or usage of $ATH is governed solely by these Terms. New terms or policies may be published from time to time on Athos Finance at our sole discretion.
The sale of $ATH 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 procure the development of Athos Finance in accordance with the roadmap as described in the Whitepaper, and shall procure that Athos Finance remains operational for a period of at least 3 years from the date hereof.
Any potential future usage of $ATH in connection with providing or receiving services or the usage of Athos Finance (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 Athos Finance and/or Website, if the services and Athos Finance 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 Athos Finance / Website for any such notices.
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 Athos Finance shall prevail with respect to any issues relating to the usage of $ATH in connection with Athos Finance.
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 $ATH to your digital wallet.
3. CANCELLATION AND REFUSAL AT SELLER'S DISCRETION Your purchase of $ATH (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 $ATH 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 $ATH (as the case may be), at any time in its sole discretion without giving reasons, including without limitation the following:
a. in connection with any failure to complete know-your-customer, anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing checks prescribed by the Seller;
b. in connection with a change of business or development plan of the Seller; or
c. in connection with an adverse change of the regulatory environment.
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 $ATH, 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 Athos Finance, (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 $ATH already delivered to you. 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 $ATH, 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), $ATH will not be available for purchase.
4. ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND ASSUMPTION OF RISKS You acknowledge and agree that there are numerous risks associated with purchasing $ATH, holding $ATH, and using $ATH for participation in Athos Finance. 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 USDT, USDC 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 $ATH, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND ASSUME THE FOLLOWING RISKS:
a. Risk of changes in functionality $ATH 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.
b. $ATH is non-refundable The Seller is not obliged to provide $ATH holders with a refund related to $ATH for any reason, and $ATH 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 $ATH, including no promise of inherent value, no promise of continuing payments, and no guarantee that $ATH 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 $ATH.
c. Uncertain Regulations and Enforcement Actions The regulatory status of $ATH 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 $ATH and/or Athos Finance. Regulatory actions could negatively impact $ATH and/or Athos Finance 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.
d. Risks associated with the Blockchain Protocol Given that $ATH and Athos Finance 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 $ATH and/or Athos Finance. Moreover, advances in cryptography, or technical advances (including without limitation development of quantum computing), could present unknown risks to $ATH and/or Athos Finance by rendering ineffective the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins that blockchain protocol. The future of cryptography and security innovations are highly unpredictable.
e. Security You are responsible for implementing reasonable measures for securing the digital wallet, vault or other storage mechanism you use to receive and hold $ATH 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 $ATH. The Seller cannot be responsible for, and is technologically unable to recover, any such losses.
f. Insufficient Information Athos Finance 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 Whitepaper released relating to the development of Athos Finance has been prepared with the then up-to-date key information of Athos Finance, it is not absolutely complete and is subject to adjustments and updates from time to time for optimal development and growth of Athos Finance and/or ecosystem on Athos Finance. The Seller is neither able, nor obliged, to keep you closely posted on every detail of the development of Athos Finance (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 Athos Finance that may emerge from time to time. Due to the nature of the project to develop Athos Finance, you accept that such insufficiency of information disclosure is inevitable and reasonable.
g. Security weaknesses. Hackers or other malicious groups or organisations may attempt to interfere with $ATH and/or Athos Finance 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 $ATH and/or Athos Finance, which could negatively affect $ATH and/or Athos Finance.
h. Risks associated with a lack of markets for $ATH There is no prior market for $ATH and the $ATH sale may not result in an active or liquid market for $ATH. $ATH is intended to be used solely within the network for Athos Finance, hence there may be illiquidity risk with respect to any $ATH you hold.
$ATH 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 $ATH on any market. Trading of $ATH will merely depend on the consensus on its value between the relevant market participants. No one is obliged to purchase any $ATH from any holder of $ATH, including the purchasers, nor does anyone guarantee the liquidity or market price of $ATH to any extent at any time. Furthermore, $ATH 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 $ATH may be in violation of applicable laws. Accordingly, the Seller cannot ensure that there will be any demand or market for $ATH, or that the price you pay for $ATH is indicative of any market valuation or market price for $ATH.
Any secondary market or exchange for trading $ATH would be run and operated wholly independently of the Group Entities, the sale of $ATH and Athos Finance. No Group Entity will create such secondary markets nor will it act as an exchange for $ATH. Even if secondary trading of $ATH 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 $ATH (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 $ATH, and/or even diminish to zero. Holders of $ATH shall be responsible for all losses in connection with the purchase of or secondary trading of $ATH, and shall not make any claim against any Group Entity in connection with the same.
i. Risk of Uninsured Losses $ATH 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.
j. Taxation risks The tax characterisation of $ATH is uncertain. The tax characterisation of $ATH and these Terms is uncertain. The Seller intends to treat $ATH 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 $ATH and these Terms may be challenged, so that the tax consequences to a purchaser and the Seller relating to $ATH 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 $ATH, which may result in adverse tax consequences to you, including withholding taxes, income taxes and tax reporting requirements.
k. Competitors It is possible that alternative networks could be established that utilise the same or similar code and protocol underlying $ATH and/or Athos Finance and attempt to re-create similar facilities. Athos Finance may be required to compete with these alternative networks, which could negatively impact $ATH and/or Athos Finance.
l. Insufficient Interest It is possible that Athos Finance 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 Athos Finance). Such a lack of use or interest could negatively impact the development of Athos Finance and therefore the potential utility of $ATH.
m. 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 Athos Finance and $ATH; 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 Athos Finance and/or $ATH.
n. Risk of Dissolution of the Seller, any Group Entity or Athos Finance 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 $ATH due to negative adoption of Athos Finance, the failure of commercial relationships, or intellectual property ownership challenges, Athos Finance may no longer be viable to operate and the Seller or any Group Entity may be dissolved.
o. Risks Arising from Lack of Governance Rights Because $ATH confers no governance rights of any kind with respect to Athos Finance or any Group Entity, all decisions involving Athos Finance 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 Athos Finance, to create and sell more $ATH for use in the ecosystem on Athos Finance, or to sell or liquidate any Group Entity. These decisions could adversely affect Athos Finance and $ATH you hold.
p. Loss of Talent The development of Athos Finance 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 Athos Finance or its future development. Further, stability and cohesion within the team is critical to the overall development of Athos Finance. 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.
q. Failure to develop
There is the risk that the development of Athos Finance 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 $ATH, unforeseen technical difficulties, and shortage of development funds for activities.
r. Forking Athos Finance 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 Athos Finance. Any entity may independently develop a patch or upgrade of the source code of Athos Finance or blockchain without prior authorisation of any other party. The acceptance of these patches or upgrades by a sufficient (not necessarily overwhelming) percentage of $ATH 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 $ATH respectively residing in the two divergent branches with almost identical technical features and functions. The community on Athos Finance 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 Athos Finance and blockchain and the $ATH which you hold, and may ruin the sustainability of Athos Finance.
s. Other risks In addition to the aforementioned risks, there are other risks associated with your purchase, holding and usage of $ATH, including those that the Seller cannot anticipate. Such risks may further materialise as unanticipated variations or combinations of the aforementioned risks.
5. KNOW YOUR CLIENT REGULATIONS AND PERSONAL DATA Know your client regulations
You hereby acknowledge and accept that:
a. The Seller may be required to conduct customer identification, due diligence and anti-money laundering due diligence on all purchasers of $ATH 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 $ATH to you until you provide such requested information and the Seller has determined that it is permissible to sell you $ATH under applicable law or regulation.
b. 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.
c. 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.
d. 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 $ATH 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.
Personal Data
i. The Seller (and its affiliates) will collect, use, process and disclose your information and personal data for providing its services and discharging of its legal duties and responsibilities, administration, customer services, crime (including tax evasion) prevention and detection, anti-money laundering, due diligence and verification of identity purposes (collectively, the
Purposes). The Seller may disclose your information to its service providers, agents, relevant custodians or similar third parties for these Purposes. The Seller may keep your information for such period as it may determine (which shall be no shorter than any mandatory period prescribed by law) to contact you about Athos Finance. You hereby consent to the Seller transferring your personal data to its affiliates or service providers for processing, and to recipients in countries which do not provide the same level of data protection as your jurisdiction if necessary for the Purposes.
ii. If you withdraw your consent to any or all use of your personal data, depending on the nature of your request, this may limit the scope of our services which the Seller is able to provide to you. Please contact us at
[email protected] (marking your email for the attention of “Data Protection Officer”). The Seller will endeavour to respond to your query / request within 30 days, and if that is not possible, the Seller will inform you of the time by which it will respond to you.
iii. You hereby warrant, represent and confirm to us and shall procure that with respect to any personal data of any individual (including, where applicable, your directors, partners, office holders, officers, employees, agents, shareholders and beneficial owners) (each, an
Individual) disclosed to us in connection with these Terms, the Service Terms and Policies and/or the $ATH sale or otherwise collected by us in the course of your relationship with us or any of our affiliates:
(1) each Individual to whom the personal data relates has, prior to such disclosure or collection, agreed and consented to, and permitted you on its behalf to consent to, such disclosure as well as the collection, processing, use and disclosure of the Individual’s personal data by us for all purposes required by us in connection with these Terms and/or the $ATH sale;
(2) that each Individual has read and consented to the collection, processing, use and disclosure of the Individual’s personal data by us in accordance with the Purpose; and
(3) any consent given pursuant to these Terms in relation to each Individual’s personal data shall survive death, incapacity, bankruptcy or insolvency of that Individual and the termination or expiration of these Terms and the Service Terms and Policies.
iv.
