To the maximum extent permissible under law, under no circumstances will the Company be liable to you for more than the amount you have paid to the Company for the purchase of AUDX. The liability limitations and exclusions in this section will apply to the fullest extent permitted by law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the limitations of this section may not apply to you.

The number of arbitrators shall be three. The seat of the arbitration shall be Sydney, Australia. The language of the arbitration shall be English. Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms is personal to you and the Company and 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.

21.2 SEVERABILITY You and the Company agree that if any provision of these Terms is found illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective solely to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner or jurisdiction and without affecting the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall continue to be in full force and effect.

21.3 NO WAIVER The failure of the Company to require or enforce strict performance by you of any provision of these Terms or the Company’s failure to exercise any right under these Terms shall not be construed as a waiver of the Company’s right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance. The express waiver by the Company of any provision, condition, or requirement of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition, or requirement. Except as expressly and specifically set forth in these Terms or otherwise in writing between the Parties, no representations, statements, consents, waivers, or other acts or omissions by the Company shall be deemed a modification of these Terms nor be legally binding.

(a) injunctions to prevent breaches of these Terms and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, and you waive the requirement of any posting of a bond in connection with such remedies;

EXHIBIT A – CERTAIN RISKS RELATING TO THE PURCHASE, SALE AND USE OF AUDX

IMPORTANT NOTE: As noted elsewhere in these Terms, AUDX is not being structured or sold as a security or any other form of investment product. Accordingly, none of the information presented in this Exhibit A is intended to form the basis for any investment decision, and no specific recommendations are intended. The Company expressly disclaims any and all responsibility for any direct or consequential loss or damages of any kind whatsoever arising directly or indirectly from: (a) reliance on any information contained in this Exhibit A; (b) any error, omission, or inaccuracy in any such information; or (c) any action resulting from such information. By purchasing, holding, and using AUDX, you expressly acknowledge and assume the following risks:

DISCLOSURES REGARDING AUDX

AUDX is provided on an “as is” basis

The Company Parties and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, shareholders, Affiliates and licensors make no representations or warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise regarding the AUDX, including any warranty that the AUDX will be uninterrupted, error-free or free of harmful components, secure or not otherwise lost or damaged. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, the Company Parties and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, shareholders, Affiliates and licensors disclaim all warranties, including any implied warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or quiet enjoyment, and any warranties arising out of any course of dealings, usage or trade.

Lack of Development of market of AUDX

There are no warranties that AUDX will be listed or made available for exchange for any other Digital Token and/or Fiat. It shall be explicitly cautioned that if AUDX is made available on an exchange, such exchange, if any, may not be subject to regulatory oversight, and the Company does not give any warranties in relation to any exchange services providers. Because there has been no prior public trading market for AUDX, the sale of AUDX may not result in an active or liquid market for AUDX, and the price of AUDX may be volatile. Holders of AUDX may not be able to dispose of AUDX easily and where no secondary market develops, a AUDX token holder may not be able to liquidate at all. Proposed transfers of AUDX may be blocked by the Company in circumstances where the proposed transferee has not already completed the Company’s KYC and AML procedures (including, without limitation, verification of identity and source of funds) to its satisfaction. You should be aware of the restrictions on their subsequent sale.

 

 

Risks relating to highly speculative prices

The valuation of Digital Tokens in a secondary market is usually not transparent, and highly speculative. AUDX does not hold any ownership rights to the Company’s assets and, therefore, is not backed by any tangible asset. The value of AUDX in the secondary market, if any, may fluctuate greatly within a short period of time. There is a high risk that you could lose your entire contribution amount. In the worst-case scenario, AUDX could be rendered worthless.

Insurance

​

AUDX is uninsured unless you specifically obtain private insurance to insure it. Thus, in the event of loss or loss of utility value, there is no public insurer or private insurance arranged by the Company to offer recourse to you. Furthermore, the purchase of AUDX will not be classed as a “deposit” and is therefore not subject to any Government Guarantee Scheme.

​

GOVERNMENTAL DISCLOSURES

Risk of unfavorable regulatory action in one or more jurisdictions

The regulatory status of Digital Tokens and blockchain technology is undeveloped, varies significantly among jurisdictions and is subject to significant uncertainty. It is possible that certain jurisdictions may adopt laws, regulations, policies or rules directly or indirectly affecting the Ethereum or Polygon network or any other network AUDX becomes available on, or restricting the right to acquire, own, hold, sell, convert, trade, or use AUDX. Developments in laws, regulations, policies or rules may alter the nature of the operation of the blockchain network upon which the AUDX is dependent. There can be no assurance that governmental authorities will not examine the operations of Company Parties and/or pursue enforcement actions against Company Parties. All of this may subject Company Parties to judgments, settlements, fines or penalties, or cause Company Parties to restructure their operations and activities or to cease offering certain products or services, all of which could harm Company Parties’ reputations or lead to higher operational costs, which may, in turn, have a material adverse effect on the AUDX.

​

Purchaser bears responsibility of legal categorisation

There is a risk that AUDX might be considered a security in certain jurisdictions, or that it might be considered to be a security in the future. The Company does not provide any warranty or guarantee as to whether AUDX will be a security in your jurisdiction. You will bear all consequences of AUDX being considered a security in your jurisdiction. You are responsible for satisfying yourself that the acquisition and/or disposal of AUDX is legal in your jurisdiction, and you undertake not to use AUDX in any jurisdiction where doing so would be unlawful. If you establish that the purchase or use of AUDX is not legal in your jurisdiction (or would only be legal if the Company had taken additional steps such as registration or licensing), you should not acquire AUDX and immediately stop using or possessing AUDX.

​

Acquiring AUDX will most likely continue to be scrutinised by various regulatory bodies around the world, which may impact the usage of AUDX. The legal ability of the Company to provide or support AUDX in some jurisdictions may be eliminated by future regulation or legal actions. In the event that the Company determines that the purchase or usage of AUDX is illegal in a certain jurisdiction, the Company may cease operations in that jurisdiction, or adjust AUDX in a way to comply with applicable Law. You bear responsibility for complying with transfer restrictions in respect of AUDX. AUDX may be placed on third-party exchanges, giving future purchasers and users an opportunity to openly buy AUDX.

​

AUDX Reserves

The value of the AUDX Reserves cannot be guaranteed and may be held in assets that decrease in value due to market or economic conditions. TAU will manage this risk by (directly or indirectly) investing the AUDX Reserves, or appointing specialist providers (which may, or may not be Associates of TAU) to invest the AUDX Reserves (directly or indirectly) in quality Australian Dollar denominated cash, cash equivalents, Australian bank deposits or Treasury notes.

​

GENERAL SECURITY RISKS

Risk of theft and hacking

Token generation events and initial coin offerings are often targeted by hackers and bad actors. Hackers may attempt to interfere with your digital wallet, the Company’s smart contract or the availability of AUDX in any number of ways, including without limitation denial of service attacks, Sybil attacks, spoofing, smurfing, malware attacks, or consensus based attacks. Any such attack may result in the theft of your AUDX. AUDX purchased by you may be held by you in a Digital Tokens Wallet or vault, which requires a private key, or a combination of private keys, for access. Accordingly, loss of requisite private key(s) associated with your Digital Tokens Wallet or vault storing the AUDX will result in loss of such AUDX. Moreover, any third party that gains access to such private key(s), including by gaining access to login credentials of a hosted wallet or vault service used by you may be able to misappropriate your AUDX. The Company is not responsible for and shall be held harmless in respect of any such losses.

Risk of incompatible wallet service.

​

The wallet or wallet service provider used for the acquisition and storage of AUDX has to be technically compatible with AUDX. The failure to assure this may result in you not being able to gain access to your AUDX.

​

Risk of weaknesses or exploitation

Advances in cryptography, or other technical advances such as the development of quantum computers, could present risks to cryptocurrencies, Ethereum, Polygon and Tokens, which could result in the theft or loss of AUDX.

Internet transmission risks.

​

There are risks associated with using AUDX including, but not limited to, the failure of hardware, software, and internet connections. The Company shall not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using AUDX, howsoever caused. Transactions in cryptocurrency may be irreversible, and, accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable. Digital Token transactions are deemed to be made when recorded on a public ledger, which is not necessarily the date or time when the transaction is initiated.

​

COMPANY DISCLOSURES

Legal structure of AUDX issuer

The Company is a proprietary limited company incorporated in Australia pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). A proprietary limited company is a body corporate which has separate legal personality capable of exercising all the functions of a natural person of full capacity irrespective of any question of corporate benefit, and having perpetual succession. The constitution of a proprietary limited company typically provides that there must be at least one director of the company. Generally, the constitution will specify that the management of the company is the responsibility of, and is carried out by, its board of directors. If the constitution permits it, the proprietary limited company may indemnify officers and directors of the company from all liabilities and expenses incurred by search persons in the performance of their duties.

As a AUDX holder, you will not be a party to the constitution and will not be entitled to any right or interest in or to shares of the Company and will have no rights to appoint or remove the board of directors of the Company.

Because AUDX confer no governance rights of any kind with respect to the Company, all decisions involving the Company’s products or the Company itself will be made by the Company at its sole discretion. These decisions could adversely affect the value and/or utility of any AUDX you own.

​Dependence on the management team

The ability of the project team which is responsible for maintaining competitive position of the Company is dependent to a large degree on the services of a senior management team. The loss or diminution in the services of members of such senior management team or an inability to attract, retain and maintain additional senior management personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company and the value of the AUDX. Competition for personnel with relevant expertise is intense due to the small number of qualified individuals, and this competition may seriously affect the Company’s ability to retain its existing senior management and attract additional qualified senior management personnel, which could have a significant adverse impact on the value of AUDX.

​Disclosures relating to conflicts of interest

Any of the Company Parties may be engaged in transactions with related parties and conflicts of interest may arise, potentially resulting in the conclusion of transactions on terms not determined by market forces.

​Unanticipated Risks

Digital Tokens such as AUDX are a new and largely untested technology. In addition to the risks included in this Exhibit A of these Terms, there are other risks associated with your purchase, possession, and use of AUDX, including unanticipated risks. Such risks may further materialise as unanticipated variations or combinations of the risks discussed in this Exhibit A of these Terms.

​

CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain information presented within the Company’s publications and digital marketing and media may contain forward- looking statements or information (collectively “forward-looking statements”) that relate to the Company’s current expectations and views of future events. In some cases, these forwardlooking statements can be identified by words or phrases such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “aim”, “estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “seek”, “believe”, “potential”, “continue”, “is/are likely to” or the negative of these Terms, or other similar expressions intended to identify forward- looking statements. The Company has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that it believes may affect its financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, financial needs, or the results of the sale of the Tokens or the value or price stability of AUDX.

​

Any forward-looking statements made by the Company are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict; therefore, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in any forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, those noted in these Terms and this Exhibit A. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward- looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent that we are required to do so by law. Given such risks, any prospective purchaser in this sale of AUDX should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

​

EXHIBIT B – ADDITIONAL COMPLIANCE TERMS

Anti-Money Laundering

The Company (and/or its delegate) may request such evidence as is necessary to verify the identity and source of your funds and to confirm the anti-money laundering status of any transferring AUDX holder. If, as a result of any information or other matter which comes to their attention, a resident in Australia knows or suspects, or has reasonable grounds for knowing or suspecting, that another person is engaged in criminal conduct or is involved with terrorism or terrorist property and the information for that knowledge or suspicion came to their attention in the course of business in the regulated sector, or other trade, profession, business, or employment, the person will be required to report such knowledge or suspicion to AUSTRAC or the Australian Federal Police. The Company prohibits acceptance of funds by any persons or entities that are acting, directly or indirectly: (a) in contravention of any Australian or international laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering regulations or conventions; (b) on behalf of terrorists or terrorist organizations, including those persons or entities that are included on the Consolidated List maintained by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, as such list may be amended from time to time; (c) for a senior foreign political figure, any member of a senior foreign political figure’s immediate family or any close associate of a senior foreign political, unless the Company, after being specifically notified in writing that you are such a person, conducts further due diligence, and determines that such acquisition shall be permitted; or (d) for a foreign shell bank.

​

Tax Information Exchange Obligations

You acknowledge that the Company may be subject to certain obligations (Tax Information Exchange Obligations) to gather and disclose to the competent authorities information relating to purchasers of AUDX under: (a) the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth), the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (Cth) and the Taxation Administration Act 1953 (Cth); (b) any other legislation, regulations, or guidance enacted in any jurisdiction which seeks to implement similar tax reporting, tax information exchange, reporting, and/ or withholding tax regimes (including the OECD Common Reporting Standard on the automatic exchange of financial account information); (c) any intergovernmental Application between Australia or any other jurisdiction (including any government bodies in any other such jurisdiction), entered into, in order to comply with, facilitate, supplement, or implement the legislation, regulations or guidance described in (a) and (b), including the OECD Multilateral Competent Authority Application; and (d) any legislation, regulations or guidance in Australia that give effect to the foregoing.

You hereby agree to execute properly and provide to the Company in a timely manner any documentation or other information that the Company or its agents may request in writing from time to time in connection with the Tax Information Obligations. You waive any provision under the laws and regulations of any jurisdiction that would, absent a waiver, prevent or inhibit the Company’s compliance with applicable law as described in this paragraph, including but not limited to by preventing either: (a) you from providing any requested information or documentation, or (b) the disclosure by the Company and its agents of the provided information or documentation to applicable regulatory authorities. Without limitation, you hereby agree to provide any documentation or other information regarding beneficial ownership requested by the Company or its agents in connection with the Tax Information Exchange Obligations. If you provide information and/or documentation that is in anyway misleading, or you fail to provide the Company or its agents or delegates with the information and documentation that has been requested, (whether or not such action or inaction leads to compliance failures by the Company, or a risk of the Company or its token holders being subject to withholding tax or other penalties), the Company reserves the right to take any action and/or pursue all remedies at the Company’s disposal including the freezing or forfeiture of associated AUDX and/or disallowance of redemptions.
