- The SkyArk Services constitute the SkyArk Platforms and the content, products and services provided by SkyArk through the SkyArk Platforms, as may be amended at SkyArk’s sole discretion from time to time (the “SkyArk Services”). The SkyArk Services include without limitation:
-
SKYARK USERS’ OBLIGATIONS
- As a SkyArk User, you are to use all SkyArk Services strictly for personal and non-commercial purposes only.
- You represent and warrant that:
- all information provided to SkyArk are true, accurate and not misleading in any way;
- you have all requisite legal right and power, to subscribe for and/or use the SkyArk Services;
- you have all necessary and relevant experience and knowledge to interact or transact with cryptocurrencies, cryptographic tokens, the SkyArk Platforms and blockchain-based systems, have a full understanding of the relevant frameworks of the foregoing, and have obtained sufficient information about SkyArk, the SkyArk Platforms and the Virtual Currencies to enter these T&Cs, and in particular you have carefully and thoroughly read these T&Cs; and
- you are aware of all the merits, risks and any restrictions associated with cryptocurrencies, cryptographic tokens, blockchain-based systems, and accept responsibility for evaluating purchasing or using the foregoing.
- You understand and acknowledge that:
- it is possible that due to a number of reasons outside of SkyArk’s control, including but not limited to, changes in regulatory or intellectual property law, technological advancements, decreases in token or cryptocurrency or cryptographic token utility, social or economic reforms, the failure of commercial relationships, or the malfunction, breakdown or abandonment of SkyArk, blockchain-based technology and other related technologies may dissolve, disappear, be abandoned or otherwise no longer operate, or operate with material impairments;
- the market value of cryptocurrencies (and, therefore, the potential market value of the Virtual Currencies) may go up or down, and the market value of cryptocurrencies have demonstrated extreme volatility. Any cryptographic tokens may not have market value. You should expect fluctuations, both down and up, in the market value (if any) of the Virtual Currencies that you purchase, if any, and such fluctuations may be extremely volatile, including price crashes (including to zero value) that may occur in the event of political or economic crises that cause a large-scale sell-off of the Virtual Currencies. In addition, there may not be a market for resale of the Virtual Currencies or exchanging the Virtual Currencies for fiat currencies, and SkyArk cannot and does not guarantee market liquidity for the Virtual Currencies or the ability to exchange the Virtual Currencies for fiat currencies by purchasers of the Virtual Currencies. In the event that the Virtual Currencies are listed on an exchange or may be transferred through other means in accordance with applicable law, the potential market value of the Virtual Currencies may be subject to drastic fluctuations and extreme volatility. Therefore, the price at which you purchase the Virtual Currencies may not represent an accurate valuation of the Virtual Currencies. Further, there is no guarantee of market liquidity for the Virtual Currencies or the ability to exchange the Virtual Currencies for equal value in fiat currency; and
- the Virtual Currencies are a new issue of cryptographic tokens for which there is no established public market, and an active trading market may not develop. Although SkyArk hopes eventually to list the Virtual Currencies on a cryptocurrency exchange, there can be no assurance that such exchanges will accept the Virtual Currencies for listing or maintain the listing if it is accepted. There also can be no assurance that a secondary market will develop or, if a secondary market does develop, that it will be a liquid market or that it will continue for the life of the Virtual Currencies. The liquidity of any market for the Virtual Currencies will depend on a number of factors, including: (i) the number of holders of the Virtual Currencies; (ii) SkyArk’s performance and financial condition; (iii) the development and performance of the SkyArk Platforms; (iv) the market for similar cryptographic tokens; (v) the interest of traders in making a market for the Virtual Currencies; (vi) the interest of financial institutions and other enterprises in utilising the Virtual Currencies; (vii) regulatory developments in the cryptographic token or cryptocurrency industries; and (viii) legal restrictions on transferring or selling the Virtual Currencies. The cryptographic token market is a new and rapidly developing market which may be subject to substantial and unpredictable disruptions that cause significant volatility in the prices of cryptographic tokens. There can be no assurance that the market, if any, for the Virtual Currencies will be free from such disruptions or that any such disruptions may not adversely affect your ability to sell your Virtual Currencies. Therefore, there is no assurance that you will be able to sell your Virtual Currencies at a particular time, or that the price received upon a sale, if any, will be favourable.
