NFTs are intangible digital assets and exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained in the blockchain network. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of the digital asset market, it is not possible to know all of the risks involved in digital assets, and new risks may emerge at any time. The following are some, but not all, of the risks associated with the Exchange:
- Cryptocurrency and the blockchain. VF does not control the public blockchain. By participating in the Exchange, Participant acknowledges that they are aware of and accepts all risks associated with a cryptographic system, including without limitation the blockchain, decentralized ledgers, smart contracts, digital wallets, and non-fungible tokens.

- Evolving regulatory landscape. The regulatory landscape governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and NFTs is evolving. Changes in the legislative or regulatory environment may impact VF's ability to offer certain products or services. In addition, there are risks associated with the dependence on third-party decentralized trading platforms, applications or other intermediaries (e.g., exchanges), counterparties or custodians to hold or convert digital assets that may be subject to little or no regulation, or that may operate in violation of regulations, including regulations related to sanctions compliance and anti-money laundering.

THIS DISCLAIMER CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THESE TERMS.
If any part of these warranty disclaimers or limitations of liability is found to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason or if VF is otherwise found to be liable in any manner, then its aggregate liability for all claims under such circumstances shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the amount paid by Participant in the Exchange that is the subject of the claim at issue during the prior 12 months, or (b) $10. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for damages. Accordingly, some of the above indemnities, limitations and disclaimers may not apply.

Further, if the parties' dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person's claims with your claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this section shall be null and void.
- YOUR KNOWLEDGE & EXPERIENCE:
You represent and warrant that you are knowledgeable, experienced, and sophisticated in using blockchain technology and that you understand and accept the risks associated with technological and cryptographic systems such as blockchains, NFTs, cryptocurrencies, smart contracts, consensus algorithms, decentralized or peer-to-peer networks and systems, and similar systems and technologies, which risks may include malfunctions, bugs, timing errors, transfer errors, hacking and theft, changes to the protocol rules of the blockchain (e.g., forks), hardware, software and/or Internet connectivity failures, unauthorized third-party data access, and other technological risks, any of which can adversely affect the Exchange Tokens and expose you to a risk of loss, forfeiture of your digital currency or NFTs, or lost opportunities to buy or sell digital assets.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
