5.0 ENTITY DISCLOSURE INFORMATION

Redeem Technologies Inc. d/b/a Deem, a Delaware corporation, operates the Deem Site and Deem API, through which Deem Services can be obtained. 

6.0 DISCLOSURE OF RISKS

Use of any digital platform carried significant potential risks. Use of Deem Services are subject to the following risks, among others:

6.1 BLOCKCHAIN AND ETH RISKS. You acknowledge that engaging in transactions on the blockchain has inherent risks and is susceptible to interruption. By using the Deem Services you acknowledge, agree to, and accept the following risks: 

  • Information transmission can be disrupted. You accept the risk that our Site could be affected by technical difficulties that impede your ability to obtain, view, or deliver information or execute transactions, including in time sensitive transactions. We do not control the public blockchains that you are interacting with.  
  • Transactions may require additional documentation or verification. We may require additional information from you, such as payment information or your account information with a Company Provider, before we can complete the transfer or use of a Digital Token. It is your responsibility to verify the status of any attempted Digital Token usage or transfer and to timely execute and submit necessary documents. We shall have no liability to you for any losses, financial or otherwise, suffered by you arising out of or resulting from compatibility or interoperability problems of the Site, your computer device, or your failure to confirm any attempted Digital Token usage or transfer.
  • Compromised Digital Wallets. Any custodial digital wallet which you transfer digital assets to, including compatible Digital Tokens, can be accessed by anybody with access to that wallet’s seed phrase or private key or anybody who is granted access to it through Smart Contract, even if that seed phrase, private key, or granted access is done maliciously or unintentionally. If a custodial digital wallet where your store Digital Tokens is compromised, you must contact us immediately (you can report such a breach by emailing support@usedeem.com ). Deem is not responsible for any unauthorized access to or use of your Consumer Account or Digital Tokens.
  • Cyberattacks may occur. You understand that fraud and cyberattacks occur and that your data may not be completely safe on any computer system or network. However, there are certain steps that you can take to protect the safety and security of your data and you agree to take reasonable measures to do so. Transactions on most blockchains are irreversible, and losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable.
  • Regulation. The regulatory status of Digital Tokens, cryptographic tokens, digital assets, and blockchain technology is unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions.  It is difficult to predict how or whether governmental authorities will regulate such technologies. It is likewise difficult to predict how or whether any governmental authority may make changes to existing laws, regulations, or rules that will affect cryptographic tokens, Digital Tokens, digital assets, blockchain technology, or its applications. Such changes could limit the Deem Services or the transferability of Digital Tokens. 
  • Third-party services disruption. You understand and agree that the Deem Services may require the use of third-party resources which are not under the direction or control of Deem. These resources may become unavailable during times of especially high traffic, or due to potential changes of access to those third-party resources. You accept the risk that interruption or inaccuracy of third-party services may impede your ability to obtain, view, or deliver information or use or transfer Digital Tokens, including in time-sensitive usages or transfers. 
  • Risk of Fraud. Digital tokens and the holders of digital tokens are often the targets of individuals attempting to access those tokens through fraudulent or duplicitous means. The individuals perpetrating these frauds will often use QR codes, malicious links, or social engineering scams where they pose as legitimate actors such as Deem to gain access to individuals’ digital wallet or the seed phrase which grants access to that digital wallet. Do not ever electronically store your seed phrase, give that seed phrase to others, or click on unknown links. Before interacting with a website or social media account, take extra care to confirm that is the official website or social media account of the intended party and not a person posing at that account/individual fraudulently.  For example, there is a known scam through which bad actors have stolen digital assets by posing as the sponsor of a project and have posted social media or other links (which then install malware or compromise wallet credentials) pretending to “airdrop” new digital assets to existing holders.  You should understand the common forms of fraud in the exchanges of digital assets and protect yourself against those risks. 

6.2 YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DECISIONS. Deem Services are offered to you upon the express condition that you will fully evaluate your own financial circumstances and the terms of the Digital Tokens offered to you. You are fully responsible for your own financial decisions. You understand and agree that you are solely responsible for determining the nature, potential value, suitability, and appropriateness of these risks for yourself. 

6.3  TAX RISKS.  Digital Tokens or any other digital representations may be subject to certain tax reporting obligations. It will be your responsibility to account for, file, and pay any applicable taxes. It is your responsibility to determine the potential tax consequences of your receipt, use, or transfer of Digital Tokens.  

7.0 DIGITAL TOKENS

7.1 SMART CONTRACTS. Usage and other transfers of Digital Tokens are achieved through smart contracts, which are the technical mechanism for executing a transaction in an automated or partially-automated manner on the blockchain (“Smart Contracts”). Many blockchains provides an immutable ledger of all transactions that occur on that particular blockchain. We neither own nor control your non-custodial wallet of choice, your preferred cryptocurrency exchange, any utilized blockchain, your browser, or any other third-party site, product, or service that you might access, visit, or use for the purpose of enabling you to utilize any Deem Services.

Transactions on many blockchains are irreversible, and any token exchanged in such a transaction may be unrecoverable. Non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”) and Digital Tokens exist only via the ownership record maintained on the blockchain. You are solely responsible for evaluating the Smart Contract and any vulnerabilities thereof. Deem is not responsible for any loss of ownership of any NFT or Digital Token including any loss as a result of loss of password or log-in information, corrupted files, viruses, phishing, attacks against the Site or blockchain, transfer to non-compatible digital address, accidental burning, unauthorized third-party activities, or any other reason. 

7.2 GAS FEES. Transactions on the blockchain require the payment of a transaction fee (“Gas”) which funds the network of computers that confirm transactions on the blockchain. Deem will provide the required gas fees for many usages and transfers of Digital Tokens. However, you may need to pay Gas for each transaction that you enable via the Site or that results in a transfer or use of a Digital Token. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, you will be solely responsible to pay any Gas for any transaction (including failed transactions) that you prompt via the Site. The value of the Gas fee changes, often unpredictably, and is entirely outside of the control of Deem.

7.3 OWNERSHIP. When you acquire a Digital Token, you own the Digital Token and have the rights which accompany such Digital Token and as specified by the applicable Company Provider.  Note that any decision by Deem to change or discontinue all or any part of the Deem Services may result in a loss of any Digital Token which are contained in any non-custodial wallet which is managed by Deem.
