CTK is a cryptographic utility token. The purpose of CTK is to facilitate the participation in the CertiK platform (the CertiK Platform) which, when fully developed, is envisaged to be a blockchain-based platform which would be able to offer formal verification services for blockchain ecosystems through the active participation of the community. The CertiK Platform is not, and will in no case be, an enterprise, corporation, partnership or other entity or body corporate established under the laws of any jurisdiction, but a computerized consensus protocol based on which a public transaction ledger is generated.

CTK is designed to be used as a unit of exchange on the CertiK Platform by which a user may obtain access to certain products and services on the CertiK Platform (when the same is completed and deployed). For each exchange of services or products on the CertiK Platform, the costs are to be quantified in CTK and paid to the CertiK Platform and/or the other party providing the service. The following features are planned for CTK: (i) the CertiK Platform offers a series of certified libraries and IDE plug-ins for building more trustworthy decentralised applications. The use of these tools will require payment of small amounts of CTK as virtual crypto “fuel”, (ii) users may submit programs/systems that need verification (through the CertiK Platform’s services) or any proof obligations (that meet the CertiK Platform’s open protocol) to the CertiK Platform’s network, and a fellow user who is able to construct the proofs will receive some CTK incentives, (iii) holders of a sufficient amount of CTK (to indicate trustworthiness) would be entitled to record transactions and/or validate proofs on the CertiK Platform, and receive some CTK incentives, (iv) contributors may plug in their proof engines via the CertiK Platform’s open protocol – allowing random use and/or evaluation through A/B testing. Depending on the evaluation result of their engines, that contributor would obtain some CTK incentives. Outstanding engines will be studied and spread by the community.

CTK would also be used as the economic incentive which will encourage participants to contribute and maintain the Ecosystem and the CertiK Platform. CTK is an integral and indispensable part of the Ecosystem, because in the absence of this built-in token, there would be no common unit of exchange to pay users to incentivise them for work done on the CertiK Platform, thus rendering the ecosystem on the CertiK Platform unsustainable.

The ownership of CTK carries no rights, express or implied, in the Seller, its related entitles or its affiliates (each, a Group Entity) other than the right to use CTK as a means to enable usage of and interaction with the CertiK Platform, upon the successful development and deployment of the CertiK Platform. CTK is sold as a consumable virtual good, and does not have any functionality or utility outside the ecosystem on the CertiK Platform – accordingly it is not necessarily merchantable and does not necessarily have any other use or value. The ecosystem on the CertiK Platform is structured as a "closed system" insofar as the usage of CTK is concerned.

You understand and accept that CTK:

1. may only be utilised on the CertiK Platform, is non-refundable and cannot be exchanged for cash (or its equivalent value in any other virtual currency) or any payment obligation by any Group Entity;
   
   
2. does not represent or confer on you any ownership right, shareholding, participation, right, title, or interest of any form with respect to any Group Entity or any other company, enterprise or undertaking, or any of their revenues or assets, including without limitation any right to receive future revenue, shares, ownership right or stake, share or security, any voting, distribution, redemption, liquidation, proprietary (including all forms of intellectual property), or other financial or legal rights or equivalent rights, or intellectual property rights or any other form of participation in or relating to the CertiK Platform, any Group Entity and/or any service provider of any Group Entity;
   
   
3. is not intended to be a representation of currency or money (whether fiat or virtual or any form of electronic money), security, commodity, bond, debt instrument or any other kind of financial instrument or investment;
   
   
4. is not a loan to any Group Entity and is not intended to represent a debt owed by any Group Entity, and there shall be no expectation of profit or interest income arising in connection therewith;
   
   
5. does not provide you with any ownership or other interest in any Group Entity;
   
   
6. is not any form of financial derivative;
   
   
7. is not any form of commercial paper or negotiable instrument;
   
   
8. will not entitle token holders to any promise of fees, revenue, profits or investment returns, nor should there be any such expectation;
   
   
9. is not any note, debenture, warrant or other certificate that entitles the holder to any interest, dividend or any kind of return from any Group Entity or any person;
   
   
10. is not any commodity or asset that any person is obliged to redeem or purchase;
    
    
11. is not for speculative investment;
    
    
12. is not intended to constitute securities in Singapore or any relevant jurisdiction;
    
    
13. does not result in any mutual covenants,or agreement to rights and obligations, beingentered into between you and other holders of CTK inter se; and
    
    
14. is subject to limitations and conditions in these Terms and all applicable policies as may be published from time to time on the CertiK Platform.
    
    

You acknowledge and agree that no Group entity is under any obligation to issue replacement CTK in the event any CTK or private key is lost, stolen, malfunctioning, destroyed or otherwise inaccessible or unusable for any reason.

IN PARTICULAR, PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF UNDERTAKING LEGAL AND REGULATORY ANALYSIS OF THE FUNCTIONALITY OF CTK. FOLLOWING THE CONCLUSION OF THIS ANALYSIS, THERE MAY BE CHANGES TO THE INTENDED FUNCTIONALITY OF CTK IN ORDER TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LEGAL OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS TO WHICH WE ARE OR CTK IS SUBJECT. IN THE EVENT OF ANY CHANGES TO THE INTENDED FUNCTIONALITY OF CTK, THE DETAILS OF THE CHANGES SHALL BE PUBLISHED ON THE WEBSITE. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO REGULARLY CHECK THE WEBSITE FOR ANY SUCH NOTICES.

Unless otherwise stated herein, your purchase of CTK (whether through an intermediary or otherwise), and continued holding and/or usage of CTK is governed solely by these Terms. New terms or policies may be published from time to time on the CertiK Platform at our sole discretion.

The sale of CTK does not constitute the provision of any goods and/or services as at the date that these Terms form a binding agreement between the Parties. Any potential future usage of CTK in connection with providing or receiving services or the usage of the CertiK Platform (when the same is completed and deployed) will be governed primarily by other applicable terms and policies (collectively, the Service Terms and Policies), which will be made available on the CertiK Platform and/or Website, if the services and CertiK Platform is successfully completed and deployed. We may update these Terms or the Service Terms and Policies in our sole and absolute discretion. It shall be your responsibility to regularly check the CertiK Platform / Website for any such notices.

To the extent of any conflict with these Terms, the updated Terms and the Service Terms and Policies which may be published from time to time on the CertiK Platform shall prevail with respect to any issues relating to the usage of CTK in connection with the CertiK Platform.

We reserve the right to require you to provide us with your personal details (including without limitation correct name, address and details of the digital wallet from which you have sent the funds), and it is your responsibility to provide correct details. Failure to provide this information will prevent us from transferring CTK to your digital wallet.

Your purchase of CTK (whether through an intermediary or otherwise) from the Seller is final; there are no refunds or cancellations except as may be required by applicable law or regulation and you waive any rights to be refunded any amounts which you have paid to the Seller in exchange for CTK or to cancel any purchase.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller reserves the right to refuse or cancel any request(s) to purchase CTK (without giving reasons) at any time in its sole discretion, including without limitation the following:

1. in connection with any failure to complete know-your-customer, anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing checks prescribed by the Seller; or
   
   
2. in connection with an adverse change of the regulatory environment.
   
   

In such event, the price paid by you shall be rejected or refunded (as applicable) in accordance with the Seller's internal policies and procedures, less fees and expenses incurred in connection with the development of the CertiK Platform and the ecosystem thereon, or, if required by applicable law, confiscated. The Seller reserves the right to require you to provide the Seller with your personal details (including without limitation correct name, address and details of the digital wallet from which you have sent the funds), and it is your responsibility to provide correct details. Failure to provide this information will prevent the Seller from allocating the token to your digital wallet.

Any refund of the price under this Clause 3 shall be calculated at the USD exchange rate of the relevant token which had been paid to the Seller, at the time of payment or refund, whichever would result in a lower fiat / USD value of the refund (as the same may be conclusively determined by the Seller). No interest will accrue on the value of any refund and the Seller shall be entitled to charge a processing fee not exceeding 15% of the refund amount.

You acknowledge and agree that there are numerous risks associated with purchasing CTK, holding CTK, and using CTK for participation in the CertiK Platform. If you have any queries or require any clarification regarding these risks, please contact us at info@certik.org.

YOU CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THAT BLOCKCHAIN AND VIRTUAL CURRENCIES / TOKENS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ETHEREUM, BITCOIN, NEO and QTUM, ARE NEW AND UNVERIFIED TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE BEYOND CONTROL OF ANY GROUP ENTITY. IN PARTICULAR, AND IN ADDITION TO TERMS OF THIS DOCUMENT, YOU BEAR FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY RISKS DESIGNATED IN THE PROPOSED DOCUMENTATION. BY PURCHASING (WHETHER THROUGH AN INTERMEDIARY OR OTHERWISE), HOLDING AND/OR USING CTK, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND ASSUME THE FOLLOWING RISKS:

1. Security
   
   

   You are responsible for implementing reasonable measures for securing the digital wallet, vault or other storage mechanism you use to receive and hold CTK which you have purchased, including any requisite passwords, tokens, private key(s) or other credentials necessary to access such storage mechanism(s). If your passwords, tokens, private key(s) or other access credentials are lost, you may lose access to your CTK. We cannot be responsible for, and are technologically unable to recover, any such losses.

2. Risks associated with the Blockchain Protocol
   
   

   Given that CTK and the CertiK Platform are based on blockchain protocol and architecture, any malfunction, breakdown or abandonment of the relevant blockchain protocol or architecture may have a material adverse effect on CTK and/or the CertiK Platform. Moreover, advances in cryptography, or technical advances (including without limitation development of quantum computing), could present unknown risks to CTK and/or the CertiK Platform by rendering ineffective the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins that blockchain protocol.

3. Insufficient Information
   
   

   The CertiK Platform is at the stage of development as of the date of these Terms and its algorithm, code, consensus mechanism and/or various other technical specifications and parameters could be updated and changed frequently and constantly. While the marketing materials and Whitepaper released relating to the development of the CertiK Platform has been prepared with the then up-to-date key information of the CertiK Platform, it is not absolutely complete and is subject to adjustments and updates from time to time for optimal development and growth of the CertiK Platform and/or ecosystem on the CertiK Platform. We are unable, nor obliged, to keep you closely posted on every detail of the development of the CertiK Platform (including its progress and expected milestones no matter whether rescheduled or not) and therefore will not necessarily provide you with timely and full access to all the information relating to the CertiK Platform that may emerge from time to time. Due to the nature of the project to develop the CertiK Platform, you accept that such insufficiency of information disclosure is inevitable and reasonable.

4. Security weaknesses
   
   

   Hackers or other malicious groups or organisations may attempt to interfere with CTK and/or the CertiK Platform in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks, smurfing and spoofing. Furthermore, there is a risk that a third party or a member of any Group Entity may intentionally or unintentionally introduce weaknesses into the core infrastructure of CTK and/or the CertiK Platform, which could negatively affect CTK and/or the CertiK Platform.

5. Risks associated with markets for CTK
   
   

   There is no prior market for CTK and the CTK token sale may not result in an active or liquid market for CTK. CTK is intended to be used solely within the network for the CertiK Platform, hence there may be illiquidity risk with respect to any CTK you hold.
   
   CTK is not a currency issued by any central bank or national, supra-national or quasi-national organisation, nor is it backed by any hard assets or other credit nor is it a "commodity" in the usual and traditional sense of that word. We are not responsible for, nor do we pursue, the circulation and trading of CTK on any market. Trading of CTK will merely depend on the consensus on its value between the relevant market participants. No one is obliged to purchase any CTK from any holder of CTK, including the purchasers, nor does anyone guarantee the liquidity or market price of CTK to any extent at any time. Furthermore, CTK may not be resold to a purchaser who is a citizen, national, resident (tax or otherwise), domiciliary or green card holder of a Restricted Country or to purchasers where the purchase of CTK may be in violation of applicable laws. Accordingly, the we cannot ensure that there will be any demand or market for CTK, or that the price you pay for CTK is indicative of any market valuation or market price for CTK.
   
   Any secondary market or exchange for trading CTK would be run and operated wholly independently of the Group Entities, the sale of CTK and the CertiK Platform. No Group Entity will create such secondary markets nor will it act as an exchange for CTK. Even if secondary trading of CTK is facilitated by third party exchanges, such exchanges may be relatively new and subject to little or no regulatory oversight, making them more susceptible to fraud or manipulation. Furthermore, to the extent that third parties do ascribe an external exchange value to CTK (e.g., as denominated in a virtual or fiat currency), such value may be extremely volatile, decline below the price which you have paid for CTK, and/or diminish to zero.

6. Risk of Uninsured Losses
   
   

   CTK is uninsured unless you specifically obtain private insurance to insure them. In the event of loss or loss of utility value, there is no public insurer or private insurance arranged by us, to offer recourse to you.

7. Uncertain Regulations and Enforcement Actions
   
   

   The regulatory status of CTK and distributed ledger technology is unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions, but numerous regulatory authorities across jurisdictions have been outspoken about considering the implementation of regulatory regimes which govern cryptocurrency or cryptocurrency markets. It is impossible to predict how, when or whether regulatory agencies may apply existing regulations or create new regulations with respect to such technology and its applications, including CTK and/or the CertiK Platform. Regulatory actions could negatively impact CTK and/or the CertiK Platform in various ways. The Seller or any Group Entity may cease operations in a jurisdiction in the event that regulatory actions, or changes to law or regulation, make it illegal to operate in such jurisdiction, or commercially undesirable to obtain the necessary regulatory approval(s) to operate in such jurisdiction.

8. Taxation risks
   
   

   The tax characterisation of CTK is uncertain. You must seek your own tax advice in connection with the purchase, holding and/or usage of CTK, which may result in adverse tax consequences to you, including withholding taxes, income taxes and tax reporting requirements.

9. Competitors
   
   

   It is possible that alternative networks could be established that utilise the same or similar code and protocol underlying CTK and/or the CertiK Platform and attempt to re-create similar facilities. The CertiK Platform may be required to compete with these alternative networks, which could negatively impact CTK and/or the CertiK Platform.

10. Insufficient Interest
    
    

    It is possible that the CertiK Platform will not be used by a large number of individuals, companies and other entities or that there will be limited public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems (such as the CertiK Platform). Such a lack of use or interest could negatively impact the development of the CertiK Platform and therefore the potential utility of CTK.

11. Risk of Dissolution of the Seller, any Group Entity or the CertiK Platform
    
    

    Start-up companies such as the Seller involve a high degree of risk. Financial and operating risks confronting start-up companies are significant, and the Seller is not immune to these. Start-up companies often experience unexpected problems in the areas of product development, marketing, financing, and general management, among others, which frequently cannot be solved.
    
    It is possible that, due to any number of reasons, including, but not limited to, an unfavourable fluctuation in the value of cryptographic and fiat currencies, decrease in the utility of CTK due to negative adoption of the CertiK Platform, the failure of commercial relationships, or intellectual property ownership challenges, the CertiK Platform may no longer be viable to operate and the Seller or any Group Entity may be dissolved.

12. Risks Arising from Lack of Governance Rights
    
    

    Because CTK confers no governance rights of any kind with respect to the CertiK Platform or any Group Entity, all decisions involving the CertiK Platform or any Group Entity will be made by the relevant Group Entity at its sole and absolute discretion, including, but not limited to, decisions to discontinue the services and/or ecosystem on the CertiK Platform, to create and sell more CTK for use in the ecosystem on the CertiK Platform, or to sell or liquidate any Group Entity. These decisions could adversely affect the CertiK Platform and CTK you hold.

13. Loss of Talent
    
    

    The development of the CertiK Platform depends on the continued co-operation of the existing technical team and expert consultants, who are highly knowledgeable and experienced in their respective sectors. The loss of any member may adversely affect the CertiK Platform or its future development.

14. Failure to develop
    
    

    There is the risk that the development of the CertiK Platform will not be executed or implemented as planned, for a variety of reasons, including without limitation the event of a decline in the prices of any digital asset, virtual currency or CTK, unforeseen technical difficulties, and shortage of development funds for activities.

15. Risks Involving Cloud Storage
    
    

    As the CertiK Platform may provide a decentralised cloud storage service to individual and institutional clients, including users and applications, the CertiK Platform (and services thereon) are susceptible to a number of risks related to the storage of data in the cloud. The CertiK Platform (and services thereon) may involve the storage of large amounts of sensitive and/or proprietary information, which may be compromised in the event of a cyberattack or other malicious activity. Similarly, the CertiK Platform and/or services thereon may be interrupted and files may become temporarily unavailable in the event of such an attack or malicious activity. Because users can use a variety of hardware and software that may interface with the CertiK Platform, there is the risk that the CertiK Platform and/or services thereon may become unavailable or interrupted based on a failure of interoperability or an inability to integrate these third-party systems and devices that the Group Entities do not control. The risk that the CertiK Platform and/or services thereon may face increasing interruptions and the ecosystem on the CertiK Platform may face additional security vulnerabilities could adversely affect the CertiK Platform and ecosystem thereon, and therefore the future utility of any CTK that you hold.

16. Other risks
    
    

    In addition to the aforementioned risks, there are other risks associated with your purchase, holding and usage of CTK, including those that the Seller cannot anticipate. Such risks may further materialise as unanticipated variations or combinations of the aforementioned risks.

Know your client regulations

You hereby acknowledge and accept that:

1. The Seller may be required to conduct customer identification, due diligence and anti-money laundering due diligence on all purchasers of CTK in compliance with all applicable laws and legislations. We may determine, in our sole discretion, that it is necessary to obtain certain information about you in order to comply with these laws and legislations. You agree to provide us such information promptly upon request, and you acknowledge that we may refuse to sell CTK to you until you provide such requested information and we have determined that it is permissible to sell you CTK under applicable law or regulation.
   
   
2. We may at any point in time request information and/or documentation to establish that our identification records, as well as the information that form your profile, remain completely updated. In this respect, we reserve the right to examine and check on a regular basis the validity and adequacy of your identification data and information we maintain.
   
   
3.

You hereby acknowledge that the Seller has entered into these Terms in reliance upon your representations and warranties being true, accurate, complete and non-misleading. The Seller does not and does not purport to make, and hereby disclaims, all representations, warranties or undertaking to you in in relation to the sale of CTK or otherwise. Prospective purchasers of CTK should carefully consider and evaluate all risks and uncertainties (including financial and legal risks and uncertainties) associated with the CTK token sale, the Seller, and any relevant Group Entity.

The Seller (or the relevant Group Entity, as the case may be) retains all right, title and interest in all of that entity's intellectual property, including, without limitation, ideas, concepts, discoveries, processes, code, compositions, formulae, methods, techniques, information, data, patents, models, rights to inventions, copyright and neighbouring and related rights, moral rights, trademarks and service marks, business names and domain names, rights in get-up and trade dress, goodwill and the right to sue for passing off or unfair competition, rights in designs, rights in computer software, database rights, rights to use, and protect the confidentiality of, confidential information (including know-how and trade secrets), and all other intellectual property rights, in each case whether patentable, copyrightable or protectable in trademark, registered or unregistered, and including all applications and rights to apply for and be granted, renewals or extensions of, and rights to claim priority from, such rights and all similar or equivalent rights or forms of protection which subsist or will subsist now or in the future in any part of the world. You may not use any of the Seller’s (or the relevant Group Entity's) intellectual property for any reason whatsoever.

You expressly waive any rights you may have under any statute or common law principles that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favour at the time of agreeing to this release.

CTK is not being structured or sold as securities or any other form of investment product. Accordingly, none of the information presented in these Terms is intended to form the basis for any investment decision, and no specific recommendations are intended. Save in the case of fraud or gross negligence, the Seller expressly disclaims any and all responsibility for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, consequential or exemplary loss or damage of any kind whatsoever arising directly or indirectly (including without limitation, those relating to loss of revenue, income or profits, loss of use or data, or damages for business interruption) in connection with:

1. reliance on any information contained in these terms;
   
   
2. any error, omission or inaccuracy in any such information;
   
   
3. any action resulting from such information; or
   
   
4. the sale or usage of CTK.
   
   

In no event will the aggregate liability of the Seller and the Indemnified Parties (jointly), whether in contract, warranty, tort, or other theory, arising out of or relating to these terms or the usage of or inability to use CTK, exceed the amount you pay to us for CTK.

The Seller shall not be liable in any way or in any event in respect of any claim under these Terms if such claim was not made within the 6-month period commencing from the date that you receive CTK (the Claim Period). Any claim which has been made before the expiration of the Claim Period shall, if it has not been previously satisfied in full, settled or withdrawn, be deemed to have been withdrawn and shall become fully barred and unenforceable on the expiry of the period of six (6) months commencing from the date on which such claim was made, unless proceedings in respect thereof shall have been commenced against the Seller and for this purpose proceedings shall not be deemed to have been commenced unless they shall have been issued and served upon the Seller.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in these Terms shall limit your obligation (at law or otherwise) to mitigate your loss in respect of any claim under these Terms, and you shall not be entitled to recover damages in respect of any claim (as the case may be) if, and to the extent that, you have already recovered damages in respect of the same fact or subject matter.

Purchasing (whether through an intermediary or otherwise), holding and/or using CTK does not create any form of partnership, joint venture or any other similar relationship between you and us.

Except as otherwise provided in herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of you and us and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity. A person who is not a party under these Terms has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act, Chapter 53B of Singapore to enforce or to enjoy the benefit of any term of these Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Group entity shall be entitled to enforce or to enjoy the benefit of any term of these Terms.

You acknowledge that, solely for convenience, these Terms may be translated into a language other than English, and that a copy of the English language version of these Terms has been provided to you (which have read and understand). In the event of conflict or ambiguity between the English language version and translated versions of these Terms, the English language version shall prevail.

If any provision or part-provision of these Terms is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, it shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision or part-provision shall be deemed deleted. Any modification to or deletion of a provision or part-provision pursuant to this Clause shall not affect or impair the validity and enforceability of the rest of these Terms, nor the validity and enforceability of such provision or part-provision under the law of any other jurisdiction.

You agree and acknowledge that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you, including these Terms, will be provided in electronic form.
