08. Token Purchases
The Website may include information about and the ability to purchase digital tokens (“Tokens”), as more fully described in the relevant Token Purchase Agreement and other Token-related documentation (“Token Documentation”). Please carefully review all Token Documentation. Our rights to place conditions or restrictions on the Website apply to any Token purchase you may seek to make. We may restrict the ability to purchase Tokens at any time and for any reason permitted by applicable law. You acknowledge and agree that (a) we are not acting as your broker, intermediary, agent, or adviser, and we have no fiduciary duty to you; (b) no communication or information provided to you by us constitutes any type of advice; (c) you have received and read the Token Documentation; and (d) you have relied on your own judgment or advisers in making any Token purchase or request to purchase. Once we complete your purchase, we will seek to send confirmation of the purchase to you electronically at the email address we have on file or otherwise make such confirmation available via the Website. You acknowledge and agree that any failure to provide such confirmation, or your failure to receive or read such confirmation, will not invalidate any purchase. You may not revoke any purchase or attempted purchase once you have submitted it. You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes are applicable to the purchase of Tokens, and for reporting and remitting the correct tax amount to the appropriate tax authority in each relevant jurisdiction. We have no responsibility to determine, collect, report, withhold or remit any taxes in connection with any Token purchase.
09. Transfer of Funds
In order to complete your purchase of the Tokens, you will be required to send funds (which may include digital or virtual currencies, cash, or other means of payment) to us, via the Website or otherwise. You may be required to verify that you control the external account that you use to send the funds. To the extent you are charged a fee to send the funds, it is your responsibility to pay such fee and not ours or anyone else’s. You are solely responsible for your use of any external account, and you agree to comply with all terms and conditions applicable to any such external account. The timing associated with a transfer of funds for a purchase will depend upon the third parties responsible for maintaining the external account, and we take no responsibility for such timing or that such funds will be received in time to complete a transaction. If funds are not received on a timely basis, we may cancel your purchase of Tokens without liability. If you have sent an insufficient amount of funds to complete the purchase of the Tokens, we may in our discretion cancel the entire order or fulfill a partial order using the amount of funds available, but we have no obligation to alert you to the insufficiency.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF SECTION 11 (DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES) OR SECTION 12 (LIMITATION OF LIABILITY), UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL WE BE LIABLE IF YOU USE INCORRECT INFORMATION WHEN SEEKING TO PURCHASE TOKENS OR IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT FUNDS WHEN SEEKING TO PURCHASE TOKENS.
