6. THIRD-PARTY LINKS, PRODUCTS, AND APPLICATIONS

6.1 Third-party Sites. The Website may contain links to websites controlled or operated by persons and companies other than Company (“Linked Sites”), including but not limited to any sites related to digital transactions occasionally hyperlinked, such as X (formerly Twitter), and websites referencing or supporting Blockchain projects, marketplaces, and trading platforms. Linked Sites, including sites owned and operated by Company’s Affiliates are not under the control of Company, and Company is not responsible for the contents of any Linked Site, including without limitation any link contained on a Linked Site, or any changes or updates to a Linked Site. Company is not responsible if the Linked Site is not working correctly or for any viruses, malware, or other harms resulting from User’s use of a Linked Site. Company is providing these links to User only as a convenience, and the inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by Company of the site or any association with its operators. User is responsible for viewing and abiding by the privacy policies and terms of use posted on the Linked Sites. User is solely responsible for any dealings with third parties who support Company or are identified on the Website, including any delivery of and payment for goods and services. Company does not store any information shared with a Linked Site and is not responsible for any personally identifiable information shared with any Linked Site.

6.2 Third-Party Smart Contracts. User acknowledges and understands that Company uses certain third-party Smart Contracts that it has no ownership of, or control over, which are core components of the Website. Company is not responsible for any coding errors, glitches, or any functionality, or lack thereof, of such third-party Smart Contracts.

6.3 Release. To the fullest extent permitted by law, User hereby releases and forever discharges Company (and its Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, successors, and assigns) from, and hereby waives and relinquishes, each and every past, present, and future dispute, claim, controversy, demand, right, obligation, liability, action and cause of action of every kind and nature (including personal injuries, death, and property damage), that has arisen or arises directly or indirectly out of, or that relates directly or indirectly to, the Website (including any interactions with, or act or omission of, Company’s partners or any other third-party or any Linked Sites).

7. THE WEBSITE

7.1 Purpose of the Website. The Website is provided for Users to use the Service, to provide updates about the Layer3 Ecosystem to Users, and to provide an access point for Users to claim Airdrops by connecting User’s Wallet and interacting with the Ethereum Blockchain.

7.2 Website Content. Company does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of this information at any particular time for any particular purpose. Any reliance User places on such information is strictly at User’s own risk. Company disclaims all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such content by User, or by anyone who may be informed of any of its contents.

7.3 Use of the Website and Service; Licenses. Subject to this Agreement, Company grants User a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Website and the data,material, content, or information herein (collectively, the “Content”) solely for User’s personal use. User’s right to access and use the same shall be limited to the purposes described in these Terms unless User is otherwise expressly authorized by Company, in writing, to use the Website for User’s own commercial purposes. User agrees to use the Website only for lawful purposes, comply with all rules governing any transactions on and through the Website and comply with the law. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved, and no license or right to use any trademark of Company or any third-party is granted to User.

7.4 Forward-Looking Statements. The Website may contain forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and may include such words as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” or other expressions of similar meaning, including statements with respect to use of proceeds of any sale of L3 Tokens, usage of the L3 Tokens and Website functionality and prospects. These forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations and a number of factors could affect future events. Company makes no representation about the value, current or future, of L3 Tokens, or accuracy of any Content on the Website.

7.5 Additional Considerations

(a) Transactions Are Recorded on Public Blockchains. All Airdrop related transactions that are facilitated by the Website are managed and confirmed via public Blockchains. User understands that its Wallet address will be made publicly visible whenever it engages in a transaction on the Website. Company does not own or control any Blockchain that Company chooses to interface with, or any other third-party site, product, or service that User might access, visit, or use for the purpose of enabling User to access and utilize the various features of the Website. Company is not liable for the acts or omissions of any such third parties, and will not be liable for any damage that a User may suffer as a result of its transactions or any other interaction with any such third parties.

(b) Gas. All Blockchain transactions conducted on, or facilitated by, the Website are facilitated by Smart Contracts. Public Blockchains require the payment of a transaction fee (a “Gas Fee”) for every transaction that occurs on its network. The value of the Gas Fee changes, often unpredictably, and is entirely outside of the control of Company or the Website. User acknowledges that under no circumstances will a transaction on the Website be invalidated, revocable, retractable, or otherwise unenforceable on the basis that the Gas Fee for the given transaction was unknown, too high, or otherwise unacceptable to User.

7.6 Prohibitions and Restrictions

(i) Use the Website or the Service in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or

User agrees that any claim or action arising out of or related to any act or omission of any of Company or its Affiliates, or any of their respective subcontractors or agents, related to the subject matter hereof, shall only be brought against Company, and not against any of Company’s Affiliates, licensors, or any subcontractor or agent of Company or any its Affiliates.

In addition, the “look and feel” of the Website and Content, including without limitation, all page headers, custom graphics, button icons, and scripts constitute the service mark, trademark, or trade dress of Company and may not be copied, imitated, or used, in whole or in part, without Company’s prior written consent.

THE STAKING AND TRADING OF CRYPTOGRAPHIC TOKENS CARRIES SIGNIFICANT RISK, AND YOU COULD LOSE SOME OR ALL OF YOUR CRYPTOCURRENCY. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL STAKING DECISIONS. THE APP MAY OFFER ACCESS TO STAKING OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE SPONSORED BY US, BY THIRD PARTIES, OR BY THIRD PARTIES IN CONCERT WITH US. SUCH SITES MAY OFFER STAKING REWARDS IN THE FORM OF STAKED TOKENS OR REWARD TOKENS AFFILIATED WITH THEIR SITES.

ALL RETURNS ARE SUBJECT TO MARKET FLUCTUATIONS AND MAY NOT ACTUALLY BE REALIZED. ALL STAKING ACTIVITY IS COVERED BY THIS DISCLAIMER AND THE RULES OF THE STAKING PROGRAM.

BY PARTICIPATING IN L3 STAKING ACTIVITIES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH ACTIVITIES. THE LAYER3 FOUNDATION DOES NOT GUARANTEE ANY SPECIFIC RETURNS OR PROFITS FROM STAKING.

THE LAYER3 FOUNDATION, THEIR AFFILIATES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND REPRESENTATIVES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSSES, DAMAGES, OR CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR PARTICIPATION IN STAKING ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSSES RESULTING FROM MARKET VOLATILITY, TECHNICAL FAILURES, SECURITY BREACHES, OR REGULATORY CHANGES.

11. ASSUMPTION OF RISK

11.1 User Acknowledges the Risk of Cryptocurrency and Smart Contracts. USER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT UNDERSTANDS AND IS WILLING TO ACCEPT THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CRYPTOGRAPHIC SYSTEMS SUCH AS SMART CONTRACTS, PUBLIC BLOCKCHAINS (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE ETHEREUM BLOCKCHAIN), LIQUIDITY PROTOCOLS, TOKEN DISTRIBUTION PROTOCOLS, IDENTITY PROTOCOLS, AIRDROPS, AND DECENTRALIZED FINANCE.

RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSSES ARISING FROM THE USE OF BLOCKCHAINS OR ANY OTHER FEATURES OF ANY BLOCKCHAIN NETWORK OR WALLET THAT COMPANY OR USER MAY INTERFACE WITH, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LATE REPORT BY DEVELOPERS OR REPRESENTATIVES (OR NO REPORT AT ALL) OF ANY ISSUES WITH A BLOCKCHAIN NETWORK OR ANY ASSOCIATED LAYER 2 BLOCKCHAINS THAT COMPANY OR USER MAY INTERFACE WITH, INCLUDING FORKS, TECHNICAL NODE ISSUES, OR ANY OTHER ISSUES RESULTING IN LOSS OF FUNDS.

11.3 User Acknowledges the Risks of the Website. User acknowledges that the Website is subject to flaws and that User is solely responsible for evaluating any information provided by the Website. This warning and others provided in this Agreement by Company in no way evidence or represent an ongoing duty to alert User to all of the potential risks of utilizing or accessing the Website. The Website may experience sophisticated cyber-attacks, cryptocurrency based economic exploits, unexpected surges in activity, or other operational or technical difficulties that may cause interruptions to or delays on the Website. User agrees to accept the risk of the Website failure resulting from unanticipated or heightened technical difficulties, including those resulting from sophisticated attacks, and User agrees that it will not hold Company accountable for any related losses. Company will not bear any liability, whatsoever, for any damage or interruptions caused by any viruses that may affect User’s computer or other equipment, or any phishing, spoofing or other attack.

11.4 Company Does Not Make Any Representations Regarding the Value of Cryptocurrency or Other Digital Assets. The prices of Blockchain assets are extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of cryptocurrency, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development, potential utility, or value of cryptocurrency. The Layer3 Ecosystem and other digital assets could be impacted by one or more regulatory inquiries or regulatory actions. For all of the foregoing reasons, as well as for reasons that may not presently be known to Company, Company makes absolutely no representations or warranties of any kind regarding the value of cryptocurrency or other digital assets.

11.5 User Acknowledges Financial Risk of Digital Assets. The risk of loss associated with the use of digital assets can be substantial. User should, therefore, carefully consider whether creating, buying, selling, or otherwise using digital assets is suitable for User in light of its circumstances and financial resources. By accessing the Website and/or claiming Airdrops, User represents that it has been, is and will be solely responsible for making its own

independent appraisal and investigations into the risks of a given transaction and the underlying digital assets. User represents that it has sufficient knowledge, market sophistication, professional advice, and experience to make its own evaluation of the merits and risks of any transaction conducted via any digital asset. Under no circumstances will the operation of all or any portion of the Website be deemed to create a relationship that includes the provision or tendering of investment advice.

11.6 User Acknowledges the Risk of Purchase and Ownership of the L3 Tokens. There are risks and uncertainties associated with the L3 tokens. Company encourages Users to consult with a financial adviser or investment professional before claiming any L3 Tokens. Information provided on the Website is for educational purposes only and is not tailored for any individual person or L3 Token holder. The Website should not be relied upon as financial or investment advice.

11.7 Company is Not Responsible for Losses Due to Jurisdictional Blocks. User acknowledges that Company has no control over jurisdictional blocks which may prevent User from utilizing the Website. Under no circumstances will Company be liable for User’s inability to access the Website due to a jurisdictional block.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION CONTAINED HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, COMPANY AND AFFILIATES MAKE NO REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT CONCERNING THE ACCURACY, QUALITY, SUITABILITY, COMPLETENESS, SEQUENCE, TIMELINESS, SECURITY OR AVAILABILITY OF THE WEBSITE OR ANY CONTENT POSTED ON OR OTHERWISE ACCESSIBLE VIA THE WEBSITE.

Company may assign these Terms at any time without notice or consent. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect Company’s right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by Company of any breach or default of these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself.

User must send a courtesy copy of a Notice to Company at [email protected]. Company may send User a Notice by electronic mail if User has provided Company with such an address. Company may also provide Notice to User’s Wallet by sending an NFT to User’s Wallet. After the Notice is received, User and Company may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If User and Company do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing.



(f) Fees; Location. Each party shall be responsible for the payment of its own fees and costs associated with an arbitration, except as otherwise required by the IAC Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place in Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, or another location mutually agreed upon by the parties; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties shall endeavor, where possible, to cause the arbitration proceeding to be conducted:

(i) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; or

(ii) through a non-appearance-based telephone hearing or videoconference. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of User’s claim or the relief sought in User’s arbitration demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, in the arbitrator’s reasonable discretion, then the payment of all arbitration fees will be governed by the IAC Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party will be responsible for their own attorneys’ fees associated with an arbitration under these Terms, and in no event may the arbitrator award any party their attorneys’ fees.

(g) Enforcement. The parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction with respect to this section to compel arbitration, to confirm an arbitration award or order, or to handle court functions permitted under the IAC Rules. The parties irrevocably waive defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or other proceeding. The parties may seek recognition and enforcement of any court judgment confirming an arbitration award or order in any court having jurisdiction with respect to recognition or enforcement of such judgment.

(h) Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND/OR STATUTORY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE A DISPUTE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as otherwise set forth in Section 13.5(b) . Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between User and Company in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, USER AND COMPANY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.

(i) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.

(j) 30-Day Right to Opt Out. User has the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of its decision to opt out within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. User’s notice must include its name and address, its Wallet address, and an unequivocal statement that User desires to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If User opts out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to User. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that User may currently have, or may enter in the future, with Company.
