(b) The terms of service for the Company’s blockchain-based platform (the “You42 Platform”) located HERE (as may be amended from time to time, the “Terms of Service”) are hereby incorporated herein by reference. The U42 Token white paper and the U42 Token technical white paper, both located HERE (as each may be amended from time to time, collectively, the “White Papers”) and other materials concerning the You42 Platform, available at https://u42.io/ (the “Website”) are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
(c) Unless otherwise stated herein, this Agreement governs only your purchase of U42 Tokens from the Company during the Token Sale Period. Any use by you of U42 Tokens in connection with providing or receiving Services (as defined below) on the You42 Platform will be governed primarily by other applicable terms and policies, which currently include the Terms of Service and the Company’s Privacy Policy (as may be amended from time to time, the “Privacy Policy”), located here (collectively, the “Platform Terms and Policies”). The Company may add new terms or policies to the Platform Terms and Policies in its sole discretion, and may update each of the Platform Terms and Policies from time to time according to the modification procedures set forth therein. You have read and understand this Agreement as well as the Platform Terms and Policies, the Risk Considerations for U42 Tokens Purchasers provided on Exhibit A, and the White Papers and will regularly check for updates to these documents on https://u42.io/ or other channels the Company makes available, and will read any such updates.
(d) To the extent of any conflict with this Agreement, the Platform Terms and Policies shall control with respect to any issues relating to the use of U42 Tokens in connection with providing or receiving Services on the You42 Platform.
Section 1.02. Purpose and Use of U42 Tokens
(a) The purpose of the U42 Tokens is to access and utilize the capabilities of the You42 Platform in the manner described in the White Papers (the “Services”). The U42 Tokens do not confer any rights other than rights relating to the provision and receipt of Services on the You42 Platform, subject to limitations and conditions in applicable Platform Terms and Policies.
(b) You agree and certify that you are purchasing u42 tokens during the token sale period for your own personal use and utility, and to make use of the platform and not for investment, or financial purposes. you agree that the u42 tokens have no current or anticipated future value outside of their utility on the platform. U42 Tokens are digital cryptographic tokens to be used on the You42 Platform. You acknowledge and understand that: (i) U42 Tokens are not intended to be investments, currencies, securities, commodities, swaps on a currency, security or commodity or a financial asset or instrument of any kind, (ii) purchases and sales of U42 Tokens are not subject to the protections of any laws governing those types of financial instruments, and (iii) this Agreement and all other documents referred to in this Agreement, including the White Papers, do not constitute a prospectus or offering document, and are not an offer to sell, nor the solicitation of an offer to buy an investment, a currency, a security, commodity, or a swap on either a security or commodity or a financial asset or instrument of any kind. By entering into this Agreement, you affirm that you understand any and all concepts described in the documents to your satisfaction and affirm that you also agree to the Platform Terms and Policies.
Section 1.03. Cancellation
Your purchase of U42 Tokens from the Company during the Token Sale Period is final, and there are no refunds or cancellations except as may be required by applicable law or regulation. The Company reserves the right to refuse or cancel Token purchase requests at any time in its sole discretion.
Section 1.04. Migration of U42 Tokens to New Protocol
(a) The Company reserves the right to migrate the U42 Tokens (the “Pre-existing U42 Tokens”) from the Ethereum protocol to a future protocol, that may or may not currently exist, for any reason. Further, the Company may generate new U42 Tokens on the future protocol and make them available to the holders of Pre-existing U42 Tokens (the “Replacement U42 Tokens”) should the Company determine, in its sole discretion, that doing so is necessary or useful to the operation of the You42 Platform.
(b) Should the Company decide to migrate the U42 Tokens, it may no longer provide support for the Pre-existing U42 Tokens relating to the You42 Platform, the Services, or any other operational matters, except with respect to the migration process. Although the Company does not at this time anticipate that it will require any Pre-existing Token holders to convert their Pre- existing U42 Tokens to Replacement U42 Tokens, the Company anticipates there will be significant incentives for Pre-existing Token holders to do so, since the practical utility of Pre- existing U42 Tokens will likely diminish rapidly once the Replacement U42 Tokens are created and in use by a significant portion of You42 Platform users. Accordingly, by entering into this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that in order for you to continue to make use of the You42 Platform or obtain utility from the U42 Tokens, you may need to convert the U42 Tokens you purchase during the Token Sale Period to Replacement U42 Tokens in the future.
(c) Should the Company decide to migrate the U42 Tokens, it will notify you by means of the Website. You are solely responsible for regularly checking for updates on the Website or other channels the Company makes available.

Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Governing Law & Venue
Section 10.01. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration
Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with the company and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from the company.
(a) Binding Arbitration. Except for any disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, demands or proceedings (collectively, “Disputes”) in which either Party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patent, you and the Company (i) waive your and the Company’s respective rights to have any and all Disputes arising from or related to this Agreement resolved in a court and (ii) waive your and the Company’s respective rights to a jury trial. Instead, you and the Company will arbitrate Disputes through binding arbitration (which is the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the Dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it instead of having the Dispute decided by a judge or jury in court).
(b) No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions. Any Dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement is personal to you and the Company, will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. There will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals. Further, a Dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.
(c) Federal Arbitration Act. This Agreement affects interstate commerce and the enforceability of this Section 10.01 will be both substantively and procedurally governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
(d) Notice; Informal Dispute Resolution. Each Party will notify the other Party in writing of any Dispute within thirty (30) days of the date it arises, so that the Parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally. Notice to the Company shall be sent by e-mail to the Company at compliance@you42.com. Notice to you shall be by e-mail to the then-current e-mail address in your account with the Company. Your notice to the Company must include (i) your name, postal address, e-mail address and telephone number, (ii) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute, and (iii) the specific relief that you are seeking. If you and the Company cannot agree how to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the date notice is received by the applicable Party, then either you or the Company may, as appropriate and in accordance with this Section 10.01, commence an arbitration proceeding or, to the extent specifically provided for in Section 10.01(a), file a claim in court.
(e) Any arbitration will occur in Atlanta, Georgia. Arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), which are hereby incorporated by reference. The state and federal courts located in Georgia will have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award. You may also litigate a Dispute in the small claims court located in the county where you reside if the Dispute meets the requirements to be heard in small claims court.
(f) Authority of Arbitrator. As limited by the FAA, this Agreement and the applicable JAMS rules, the arbitrator will have (i) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute, including the determination of whether a Dispute is arbitrable and (ii) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by this Agreement. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.
(g) Rules of JAMS. The rules of JAMS and additional information about JAMS are available on the JAMS website. By entering into this Agreement, you either (i) acknowledge that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS, or (ii) waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
(h) Severability of Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Provisions. If any term, clause or provision of this Section 10.01 is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be so held to the minimum extent required by law, and all other terms, clauses and provisions of this Section 10.01 will remain valid and enforceable. Further, the waivers set forth in Section 10.01(b) are severable from the other provisions of this Agreement and will remain valid and enforceable, except as prohibited by applicable law.
Section 10.02. Governing Law and Venue
This Agreement will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any Dispute between the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved and filed only in the state or federal courts of the State of Delaware and the United States, respectively, sitting in New Castle County, Delaware. You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement.

Section 11.06. No Partnership; No Agency; No Third Party Beneficiaries

Exhibit A
Risk Considerations for U42 Token Purchasers
01 / Risk of Losing Access to U42 Tokens Due to Loss of Credentials:
Your U42 Tokens will be distributed directly by the Company to your digital token wallet at the Token Receiving Address. Your wallet can only be accessed with login credentials selected by you. The loss of your wallet login credentials will result in the loss of U42 Tokens. Best practices dictate that you safely store credentials in one or more backup locations geographically separated from the working location.
02 / Risks Associated with the Ethereum Protocol:
The U42 Tokens and the You42 Platform are based on the Ethereum protocol. As such, any malfunction, unintended function, unexpected functioning of or attack on the Ethereum protocol may cause the You42 Platform or the U42 Tokens to malfunction or function in an unexpected or unintended manner. Ether, the native unit of account of the Ethereum protocol, may itself lose value in ways similar to the U42 Tokens, and also other ways.
03 / Risks Associated with Your Credentials:
Any third party that gains access to or learns of your login credentials or private keys with respect to your digital token wallet may be able to dispose of your U42 Tokens. To minimize this risk, you should guard against unauthorized access to your electronic devices. Best practices dictate that you safely store private keys in one or more backup locations geographically separated from the working location. In addition, you are responsible for giving the Company the correct Token Receipt Address to send you your U42 Tokens. If you give the Company the incorrect Token Receipt Address to send your U42 Tokens to, the Company is not responsible for any loss of U42 Tokens that may occur.
04 / Risk of Unfavorable Regulatory Action in One or More Jurisdictions:
Blockchain technologies and token sales have been the subject of scrutiny by various regulatory bodies around the world. The functioning of the You42 Platform and the U42 Tokens could be impacted by one or more regulatory inquiries or actions, including the licensing of or restrictions on the use, sale or possession of digital U42 Tokens like the U42 Tokens, which could impede, limit or end the improvement of the You42 Platform and increase legal costs.
05 / Risk of Alternative Networks:
Following the Token Sale and the initial version of the You42 Platform, it is possible that alternative networks could be established that attempt to facilitate services that are materially similar to the You42 Platform’s Services. The You42 Platform may compete with these alternative networks, which could potentially negatively impact the You42 Platform and the U42 Tokens, including the utility of the U42 Tokens for obtaining Services.
06 / Risk of Insufficient Interest in the You42 Platform:
It is possible that the You42 Platform will not be used by a large number of businesses, individuals and other organizations and that there will be limited public interest in the U42 Tokens ecosystem. Such a lack of interest could negatively impact the U42 Tokens and the You42 Platform.
07 / Risk that the You42 Platform, as Developed, Will Not Meet the Expectations of the Company or You:
The You42 Platform may undergo significant changes after its release. Moreover, we have no control over how other participants will use the You42 Platform, what products or services will be offered by means of the You42 Platform by third parties, or how third- party products and services will utilize the U42 Tokens (if at all). This could create the risk that U42 Tokens or the You42 Platform may not meet your expectations at the time of purchase, for any number of reasons including mistaken assumptions or analysis, a change in the design and implementation plans, and execution of the You42 Platform. Furthermore, despite our good faith efforts, it is still possible that the You42 Platform will experience malfunctions or otherwise fail to be adequately maintained, which may negatively impact the You42 Platform and U42 Tokens, and your U42 Tokens may become useless due to technical, commercial, regulatory or any other reasons.
08 / Risk of Unfavorable Fluctuation of Ether and Other Currency Value:
The Company intends to use the proceeds from selling the U42 Tokens to fund the maintenance of the You42 Platform, as described further in the White Papers. The proceeds of the Token Sale will be collected in cryptographic currency. If the value of the cryptographic currency fluctuates unfavorably during or after the Token Sale Period, the Company may not be able to maintain the You42 Platform in the manner that it intended.
9 / Risks from Taxation:
The tax characterization of the U42 Tokens is uncertain. You must seek your own tax advice in connection with purchasing the U42 Tokens, which may result in adverse tax consequences to you, including withholding taxes, income taxes and tax reporting requirements.
10 / Risk of Theft and Hacking:
Hackers or other groups or organizations or countries may attempt to interfere with the You42 Platform or the availability of the U42 Tokens in any number of ways, including service attacks, Sybil attacks, spoofing, smurfing malware attacks or consensus based attacks, or phishing, or other novel methods that may or may not be known to steal U42 Tokens.
11 / Risk of Inability to Satisfy Data Protection, Security, Privacy and Other Government- and Industry-Specific Requirements:
There are a number of data protection, security, privacy and other government- and industry-specific requirements, including those that require companies to notify individuals of data security incidents involving certain types of personal data. Security compromises could harm the You42 Platform’s reputation, erode user confidence in the effectiveness of its security measures, negatively impact its ability to attract new users, or cause existing users to stop using the You42 Platform.
12 / Risk of Weaknesses or Exploitable Breakthroughs in the Field of Cryptography:
Advances in cryptography, or technical advances such as the development of quantum computers, could present risks to cryptographic tokens, including the U42 Tokens, and the You42 Platform, which could result in the theft or loss of the U42 Tokens.
13 / Risk of the U42 Tokens Mining Attacks:
As with other decentralized cryptographic U42 Tokens and cryptocurrencies, the blockchain used for the You42 Platform is susceptible to mining attacks, including double-spend attacks, majority mining power attacks, selfish-mining attacks and race condition attacks. Any successful attacks present a risk to the You42 Platform, the U42 Tokens and expected proper execution and sequencing of Ethereum contract computations. Despite the efforts of the Company’s team, the risk of known or novel mining attacks exists.
14 / Risk of an Illiquid Market for the U42 Tokens:
The U42 Tokens are being sold for use on the You42 Platform, and such sales are not refundable. The Company is not aware of any marketplace for the U42 Tokens and does not anticipate the development of any such marketplace for the U42 Tokens. There are currently no exchanges upon which the U42 Tokens would trade. If ever exchanges do develop, they will likely be relatively new and subject to poorly understood regulatory oversight. They may therefore be more exposed to fraud and failure than established, regulated exchanges for other products and have a negative impact on the U42 Tokens.
15 / Risk of Dissolution of the Company:
It is possible that, due to any number of reasons, including an unfavorable fluctuation in the value of cryptocurrencies, development issues with the You42 Platform, the failure of business relationships or competing intellectual property claims, the Company may no longer be by means viable as a business or otherwise and may dissolve.
16 / Risk of Malfunction in the You42 Platform:
It is possible that the You42 Platform malfunctions in an unfavorable way, including one that results in the loss of the U42 Tokens.
17 / Risks Arising from Lack of Governance Rights:
Because U42 Tokens confer no governance rights of any kind with respect to the You42 Platform or the Company, all decisions involving the Company’s products or Services on the You42 Platform or the Company itself will be made by the Company at its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, decisions to discontinue its products or Services on the You42 Platform, to create and sell more U42 Tokens for use on the You42 Platform, or to sell or liquidate the Company. These decisions could adversely affect the You42 Platform and the utility of any U42 Tokens you own, including their utility for obtaining Services.
18 / Unanticipated Risks:
Cryptographic U42 Tokens are a new and untested technology. In addition to the risks discussed in the White Papers and this Agreement, there are risks that the Company’s team cannot anticipate. Further risks may materialize as unanticipated combinations or variations of the discussed risks or the emergence of new risks.
