ANNEX 2
RISK FACTORS
The TTC Protocol is intended to be maintained by TTC Foundation and/or its affiliate(s). References in this Annex to TTC Foundation shall be deemed to include a reference to such affiliate(s).
You should carefully consider and evaluate each of the following risk factors and all other information contained in the Terms before deciding to participate in the Token Sale. To the best of the Token Vendor’s knowledge and belief, all risk factors which are material to you in making an informed judgement to participate in the Token Sale have been set out below. If any of the following considerations, uncertainties or material risks develops into actual events, the business, financial position and/or results of operations of the Token Vendor, TTC Foundation, and the development, maintenance and level of usage of the TTC Protocol could be materially and adversely affected. In such cases, the trading price of Tokens (in the case where they are listed on a cryptocurrency exchange) could decline due to any of these considerations, uncertainties or material risks, and you may lose all or part of your Tokens.
- RISKS RELATING TO PARTICIPATION IN THE TOKEN SALE
Purchase of products, including but not limited to cryptocurrencies or cryptographic tokens, from start-ups such as the Token Vendor involve a high degree of risk
Financial and operating risks confronting start-ups are significant and the Token Vendor and TTC Foundation are not immune to these. Start-ups often experience unexpected problems in the areas of product development, marketing, financing, and general management, among others.
The Token Vendor or TTC Foundation may be forced to cease operations
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, the inability of TTC Foundation to establish the TTC Protocol or the Token’s utility, the failure of commercial relationships, or intellectual property ownership challenges, the Token Vendor or TTC Foundation may no longer be viable to operate and the Token Vendor or TTC Foundation may dissolve or take actions that result in a dissolution of the Token Vendor or TTC Foundation.
The tax treatment of these Terms, the purchase rights contained herein, and the Token Sale is uncertain and there may be adverse tax consequences for you upon certain future events.
The tax characterisation of these Terms and the Tokens are uncertain, and you must seek your own tax advice in connection with your purchase of Tokens. A purchase of Tokens pursuant to these Terms may result in adverse tax consequences to you, including withholding taxes, income taxes, and tax reporting requirements. You should consult with and must rely upon the advice of your own professional tax advisors with respect to tax treatment of a purchase of Tokens pursuant to these Terms.
There is no prior market for the Tokens and the Token Sale may not result in an active or liquid market for the Tokens
The Tokens are intended to be native cryptographic tokens in relation to the TTC Protocol, and the Token Vendor has not and may not actively facilitate any secondary trading or external trading of Tokens. In addition, there is and has been no public market for the Tokens, and the Tokens are not traded, whether on a cryptocurrency exchange or otherwise. In the event that the Tokens are traded on a cryptocurrency exchange, there is no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for the Tokens will develop or if developed, be sustained after the Tokens have been made available for trading on such cryptocurrency exchange. There is also no assurance that the market price of the Tokens will not decline below the value at which they were initially purchased for. The value at which the Tokens were initially purchased for may not be indicative of the market price of the Tokens after they have been made available for trading on a cryptocurrency exchange.
A Token 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. The Token Vendor and TTC Foundation are not responsible for nor do they pursue the circulation and trading of Tokens on the market. Trading of Tokens merely depends on the consensus on its value between the relevant market participants, and no one is obliged to acquire any Token from any holder of the Token, including the purchasers of Tokens in the Token Sale, nor does anyone guarantee the liquidity or market price of the Tokens to any extent at any time. Accordingly, the Token Vendor and TTC Foundation cannot ensure that there will be any demand or market for Tokens, or that the value at which the Tokens were initially purchased is indicative of the market price of Tokens after they have been made available for trading on a cryptocurrency exchange. Hence, there is a risk that a purchaser could lose his entire contribution amount. In the worst-case scenario, the Tokens could be rendered worthless.
The Token Vendor and the Indemnified Persons are not and shall not be responsible for or liable for the market value of the Tokens, the transferability and/or liquidity of the Tokens and/or the availability of any market for the Tokens through third parties or otherwise.
Future sales of the Tokens could materially and adversely affect the market price of Tokens
Any future sale of the Tokens (which were not available for sale in the Token Sale) would increase the supply of Tokens in the market and this may result in a downward price pressure on the Tokens. The sale or distribution of a significant number of Tokens outside of the Token Sale, or the perception that such further sales or issuance may occur, could adversely affect the trading price of the Tokens.
Negative publicity may materially and adversely affect the price of the Tokens
Negative publicity involving the Token Vendor, TTC Foundation, the TTC Protocol, the Tokens or any of the key personnel of the Token Vendor and/or TTC Foundation may materially and adversely affect the market perception or market price of the Tokens, whether or not such publicity is justified.
There is no assurance of any success of the TTC Protocol
The value of, and demand for, the Tokens hinges heavily on the performance of the TTC Protocol. There is no assurance that the TTC Protocol will gain traction after its launch and achieve any commercial success.
The TTC Protocol has not been fully developed, finalised and integrated and is subject to further changes, updates and adjustments prior to its launch. Such changes may result in unexpected and unforeseen effects on its projected appeal to users, and hence impact its success.
While the Token Vendor has made every effort to provide a realistic estimate, there is also no assurance that the cryptocurrencies raised in the Token Sale will be sufficient for the development and integration of the TTC Protocol. For the foregoing or any other reason, the development and integration of the TTC Protocol may not be completed and there is no assurance that it will be launched at all. As such, distributed Tokens may hold little worth or value, and this would impact its trading price.
If and when the TTC Protocol is fully developed, there is no assurance it will be widely adopted or utilised by its target users.
The trading price of the Tokens may fluctuate following the Token Sale
The prices of cryptographic tokens in general tend to be relatively volatile, and can fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. The demand for, and corresponding the market price of, the Tokens may fluctuate significantly and rapidly in response to, among others, the following factors, some of which are beyond the control of the Token Vendor and TTC Foundation:
(a) new technical innovations;
(b) analysts’ speculations, recommendations, perceptions or estimates of the Tokens’ market price or the financial and business performance of the Token Vendor or TTC Foundation;
(c) changes in market valuations and token prices of entities with operations similar to that of the Token Vendor or TTC Foundation that may be made available for sale and purchase on the same cryptocurrency exchanges as the Tokens;
(d) announcements by the Token Vendor or TTC Foundation of significant events, for example partnerships, sponsorships, or new product developments;
(e) fluctuations in market prices and trading volume of cryptocurrencies on cryptocurrency exchanges;
(f) additions or departures of key personnel of the Token Vendor or TTC Foundation;
(h) success or failure of the management of the Token Vendor or TTC Foundation in implementing business and growth strategies; and
(i) changes in conditions affecting the blockchain or financial technology industry, the general economic conditions or market sentiments, or other events or factors.
The digital assets raised in the Token Sale are exposed to risks of theft
While the Token Vendor will make every effort to ensure that the digital assets received from the Token Sale will be securely held at such address as directed by the Token Vendor (“Receiving Address”) through the implementation of security measures, there is no assurance that there will be no theft of the cryptocurrencies as a result of hacks, mining attacks (including but not limited to double-spend attacks, majority mining power attacks and “selfish-mining” attacks), sophisticated cyber-attacks, distributed denials of service or errors, vulnerabilities or defects on such Designated Address(es), Receiving Address, the Ethereum Blockchain, or any other blockchain, or otherwise. Such events may include, for example, flaws in programming or source code leading to exploitation or abuse thereof. In such event, even if the Token Sale is completed, the Token Vendor may not be able to receive the digital assets raised and the Token Vendor and/or TTC Foundation may not be able to utilise such digital assets for the development of the TTC Protocol, and the launch of the TTC Protocol might be temporarily or permanently curtailed. As such, the issued Tokens may hold little worth or value, and this would impact their trading price. The Tokens are uninsured, unless you specifically obtain private insurance to insure them. In the event of any loss or loss of value, you may have no recourse.
Blockchains may face congestion and transactions may be delayed or lost
Most blockchains used for cryptocurrency transactions (e.g. Ethereum and Stellar) are prone to periodic congestion during which transactions can be delayed or lost. Individuals may also intentionally spam the network in an attempt to gain an advantage in purchasing cryptographic tokens. This may result in a situation where block producers may not include the purchaser’s transaction when the purchaser intends to transact, or the purchaser’s transaction may not be included at all.
The purchaser may be subject to adverse legal and/or tax implications as a result of the acquisition or transfer of the Tokens
The legal character of cryptocurrency and cryptographic assets remain uncertain. There is a risk that the Tokens may be considered securities in certain jurisdictions, or may be considered to be securities in certain jurisdictions in the future. The Token Vendor does not provide any warranty or guarantee as to how the Tokens will be classified, and each purchaser will bear all consequences of the Tokens being considered securities in their respective jurisdictions, and bear the responsibility of the legality, use and transfer of the Tokens in the relevant jurisdictions.
Further, the tax treatment of the acquisition or disposal of such cryptocurrency or cryptographic assets might depend on whether they are classified as securities, assets, currency or otherwise. As the tax characterisation of the Tokens remains indeterminate, purchasers must seek their own tax advice in connection with the purchase of the Tokens, which may result in adverse tax consequences or tax reporting requirements for the purchaser.
As the Tokens may be traded on third-party cryptocurrency exchanges in the future, purchasers may buy or sell the Tokens on such exchanges. Existing laws on the circulation or transaction of cryptocurrency or cryptographic tokens in certain jurisdictions may prohibit the transaction or sale of the Tokens in such jurisdictions or to residents of such jurisdictions. Purchasers must be aware of the restrictions on the secondary trading or external sale of the Tokens and seek their own legal advice in connection therewith.
- RISKS RELATING TO THE RECEIVING ADDRESS AND WALLETS
The Receiving Address may be compromised and the cryptocurrencies may not be able to be disbursed
The Receiving Address is designed to be secure. However, in the event that the Receiving Address is, for any reason compromised (including but not limited to scenarios of the loss of keys to such Receiving Address), the funds held by the Receiving Address may not be able to be retrieved and disbursed, and may be permanently unrecoverable. In such event, even if the Token Sale is successful, the Token Vendor and TTC Foundation will not be able to receive the funds raised and the Token Vendor and/or TTC Foundation will not be able to utilise such funds for the development of the TTC Protocol, and the implementation of the TTC Protocol might be temporarily or permanently curtailed. As such, distributed Tokens may hold little worth or value, and this would impact their trading price.
The loss or compromise of information relating to your Ethereum Wallet may affect your access and possession of the Tokens
Your access to the Tokens in your Ethereum Wallet depends on, among other things, the safeguards to the information to such Ethereum Wallet, including but not limited to the user account information, address, private key, and password. In the event that any of the foregoing is lost or compromised, your access to your Ethereum Wallet may be curtailed and thereby adversely affecting your access and possession to the Tokens, including such Tokens being unrecoverable and permanently lost.
- RISKS RELATING TO TTC FOUNDATION
TTC Foundation may be materially and adversely affected if it fails to effectively manage its operations as its business develops and evolves, which would have a direct impact on its ability to maintain the TTC Protocol and consequently the trading price of the Tokens
The financial technology and cryptocurrency industries and the markets in which TTC Foundation operates in have grown rapidly and continue to grow rapidly and evolve in response to new technological advances, changing business models and other factors. As a result of this constantly changing environment, TTC Foundation may face operational difficulties in adjusting to the changes, and the sustainability of TTC Foundation will depend on its ability to manage its operations, adapt to technological advances and market trends and ensure that it hires qualified and competent employees, and provide proper training for its personnel.
The ability of the senior management team of TTC Foundation which is responsible for maintaining the competitive position of the TTC Protocol is dependent to a large degree on the ability of each member of that team. The loss or diminution in the services of members of respective senior management team or an inability to attract, retain and maintain additional senior management personnel could have a material adverse effect on the TTC Protocol. Competition for personnel with relevant expertise is intense due to the small number of qualified individuals, and this situation seriously affects the ability to retain its existing senior management and attract additional qualified senior management personnel, which could have a significant adverse impact on the growth and operations of the TTC Protocol.
As its business evolves, TTC Foundation must also expand and adapt its operational infrastructure. TTC Foundation’s business relies on its blockchain-based software systems, cryptocurrency wallets or other related token storage mechanisms, blockchain technology and smart contract technology, and to manage technical support infrastructure for the TTC Protocol effectively, TTC Foundation will need to continue to upgrade and improve its data systems and other operational systems, procedures and controls. These upgrades and improvements will require a dedication of resources, are likely to be complex and increasingly rely on hosted computer services from third parties that TTC Foundation does not control. If TTC Foundation is unable to adapt its systems and organisation in a timely, efficient and cost-effective manner to accommodate changing circumstances, its business strategies, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected. If the third parties whom TTC Foundation relies on are subject to a security breach or otherwise suffer disruptions that impact the services TTC Foundation utilises, the integrity and availability of its internal information could be compromised, which may consequently cause the loss of confidential or proprietary information, and economic loss.
The loss of financial, labour or other resources, and any other adverse effect on TTC Foundation’s business strategies, results operations and prospects, would have a direct adverse effect on TTC Foundation’s ability to maintain the TTC Protocol. As the TTC Protocol is the main product to which the Tokens relate, this may adversely impact the trading price of the Tokens.
There may be weaknesses, vulnerabilities or bugs in the protocols, systems and smart contract in connection with the Token Sale or the TTC Protocol
TTC Foundation will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the protocols, systems and smart contracts in connection with the Token Sale or the TTC Protocol are audited, tested and approved by technical experts. However, as smart contract technology is still in its early stage of development and its application of experimental nature carries significant operation, technological, financial, regulatory and reputational risks, there are inherent risks that such smart contracts could contain weaknesses, vulnerabilities or bugs.
Purchasers of the Tokens should understand and accept that there are no warranties that the Tokens are fit for a particular purpose or do not contain any weaknesses, vulnerabilities or bugs which would cause loss in their worth or value. In the event that any of the aforementioned risks materialises, TTC Foundation’s business strategies, results of operations and prospects may also be adversely affected.
TTC Foundation may experience system failures, unplanned interruptions in its network or services, hardware or software defects, security breaches or other causes that could adversely affect TTC Foundation’s infrastructure network, and/or the TTC Protocol
TTC Foundation is unable to anticipate when there would be occurrences of hacks, cyber-attacks, mining attacks (including but not limited to double-spend attacks, majority mining power attacks and “selfish-mining” attacks), distributed denials of service or errors, vulnerabilities or defects in the TTC Protocol, the Tokens, the Receiving Address, the Wallet or any technology (including but not limited to smart contract technology) on which TTC Foundation, the TTC Protocol, the Tokens, the Receiving Address, and/or the Ethereum Wallet relies or on the Ethereum Blockchain or any other blockchain. Such events may include, for example, flaws in programming or source code leading to exploitation or abuse thereof. TTC Foundation may not be able to detect such hacks, mining attacks (including but not limited to double-spend attacks, majority mining power attacks and “selfish-mining” attacks), cyber-attacks, distributed denials of service errors vulnerabilities or defects in a timely manner, and may not have sufficient resources to efficiently cope with multiple service incidents happening simultaneously or in rapid succession.
TTC Foundation’s network or services, which would include the TTC Protocol, could be disrupted by numerous events, including natural disasters, equipment breakdown, network connectivity downtime, power losses, or even intentional disruptions of its services, such as disruptions caused by software viruses or attacks by unauthorised users, some of which are beyond TTC Foundation’s control. Although TTC Foundation will be taking steps against malicious attacks on its appliances or its infrastructure, which are critical for the maintenance of the TTC Protocol and its other services, there can be no assurance that cyber-attacks, such as distributed denials of service, will not be attempted in the future, and that any of TTC Foundation’s intended enhanced security measures will be effective. TTC Foundation may also be prone to attacks on its infrastructure intended to steal information about its technology, financial data or user information or take other actions that would be damaging to TTC Foundation and users of the TTC Protocol. Any significant breach of TTC Foundation’s intended security measures or other disruptions resulting in a compromise of the usability, stability and security of TTC Foundation’s network or services (including the TTC Protocol) may adversely affect the trading price of the Tokens.
TTC Foundation is dependent in part on the location and data centre facilities of third parties
TTC Foundation’s infrastructure network will be in part established through servers that which it owns and houses at the location facilities of third parties, and servers that it rents at data centre facilities of third parties. If TTC Foundation is unable to renew its data facility lease on commercially reasonable terms or at all, TTC Foundation may be required to transfer its servers to a new data centre facility, and may incur significant costs and possible service interruption in connection with the relocation. These facilities are also vulnerable to damage or interruption from, among others, natural disasters, arson, terrorist attacks, power losses, and telecommunication failures. Additionally, the third party providers of such facilities may suffer a breach of security as a result of third party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, and a third party may obtain unauthorised access to the data in such servers. As techniques used to obtain unauthorised access to, or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognised until launched against a target, TTC Foundation and the providers of such facilities may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventive measures. Any such security breaches or damages which occur which impact upon TTC Foundation’s infrastructure network and/or the TTC Protocol may adversely impact the trading price of the Tokens.
General global market and economic conditions may have an adverse impact on TTC Foundation’s operating performance, results of operations and cash flows
TTC Foundation has been and could continue to be affected by general global economic and market conditions. Challenging economic conditions worldwide have from time to time, contributed, and may continue to contribute, to slowdowns in the information technology industry at large. Weakness in the economy could have a negative effect on TTC Foundation’s business strategies, results of operations and prospects. Additionally, in a down-cycle economic environment, TTC Foundation may experience the negative effects of a slowdown in commerce and usage of the TTC Protocol. Suppliers on which TTC Foundation relies for servers, bandwidth, location and other services could also be negatively impacted by economic conditions that, in turn, could have a negative impact on TTC Foundation’s operations or expenses. There can be no assurance, therefore, that current economic conditions or worsening economic conditions or a prolonged or recurring recession will not have a significant adverse impact on TTC Foundation’s business strategies, results of operations and prospects and hence the TTC Protocol, which would correspondingly impact the trading price of the Tokens.
The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, tokens, and token offerings such as the Token Sale, the TTC Protocol, and the Tokens is uncertain, and regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the TTC Protocol and the utility of the Tokens
Regulation of tokens (including the Tokens) and token offerings such as the Token Sale, cryptocurrencies, blockchain technologies, and cryptocurrency exchanges currently is undeveloped or underdeveloped, and likely to rapidly evolve, varies significantly among international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, and is subject to significant uncertainty. Various legislative and executive bodies in Singapore and other countries may in the future, adopt laws, regulations, guidance, or other actions, which may severely impact the development and growth of the TTC Protocol and the adoption and utility of the Tokens or the issue, offer, and sale of the Tokens by the Token Vendor. Failure by the Token Vendor, TTC Foundation or users of the TTC Protocol to comply with any laws, rules and regulations, some of which may not exist yet or are subject to interpretation and may be subject to change, could result in a variety of adverse consequences, including civil penalties and fines.
Blockchain networks also face an uncertain regulatory landscape in many foreign jurisdictions such as the European Union, the PRC, South Korea, and Russia. Various foreign jurisdictions may, in the near future, adopt laws, regulations or directives that affect the TTC Protocol. Such laws, regulations or directives may directly and negatively impact TTC Foundation’s business. The effect of any future regulatory change is impossible to predict, but such change could be substantial and materially adverse to the development and growth of the TTC Protocol and the adoption and utility of the Tokens.
New or changing laws and regulations or interpretations of existing laws and regulations may materially and adversely impact the value of the currency in which the Tokens may be sold, the liquidity of the Tokens, the ability to access marketplaces or exchanges on which to trade the Tokens, and the structure, rights and transferability of Tokens.
To the extent that TTC Foundation may be required to obtain licences, permits and/or approvals (collectively, the “Regulatory Approvals”) to carry out its business, including that of the development and operation of the TTC Protocol but be unable to obtain such Regulatory Approvals or if such Regulatory Approvals are not renewed or revoked for whatever reason by the relevant authorities, the business of the TTC Foundation and the development or operation of the TTC Protocol may be adversely affected.
There is no assurance that more stringent requirements will not be imposed upon the Token Vendor or TTC Foundation by the relevant authorities in the future, or that the Token Vendor or TTC Foundation will be able to adapt in a timely manner to changing regulatory requirements. These additional or more stringent regulations may restrict the Token Vendor or TTC Foundation’s ability to operate its business and the Token Vendor or TTC Foundation may face actions for non-compliance if it fails to comply with any of such requirements.
Further, should the costs (financial or otherwise) of complying with such newly implemented regulations exceed a certain threshold, developing, operating or maintaining the TTC Protocol may no longer be commercially viable and TTC Foundation may opt to discontinue the TTC Protocol and/or the Tokens. Further, it is difficult to predict how or whether governments or regulatory authorities may implement any changes to laws and regulations affecting distributed ledger technology and its applications, including the TTC Protocol and the Tokens. The Token Vendor or TTC Foundation may also have to cease operations in a jurisdiction that makes it illegal to operate in such jurisdiction, or make it commercially unviable or undesirable to obtain the necessary Regulatory Approval(s) to operate in such jurisdiction. In scenarios such as the foregoing, the trading price of the Tokens will be adversely affected or the Tokens may cease to be traded.
Tokens holders will have no control over the Token Vendor or TTC Foundation
The holders of Tokens are not and will not be entitled, to vote or receive dividends or distributions and are not and will not be treated as the holder of shares in the Token Vendor or TTC Foundation for any purpose, nor will anything be construed to confer on the Token holder any of the rights of a member of the Token Vendor or TTC Foundation or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to members at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive subscription rights or otherwise.
There may be a lack of information in respect of the Token Vendor, TTC Foundation, the Tokens, and/or the TTC Protocol
You may not be able to obtain all information you would want regarding the Token Vendor, TTC Foundation, the Tokens, or the TTC Protocol, on a timely basis or at all. It is possible that you may not be aware on a timely basis of material adverse changes that have occurred. Information in relation to the development of Tokens may also be highly technical by nature. As a result of these difficulties, as well as other uncertainties, you may not have accurate or accessible information about the Token Vendor, TTC Foundation, the Tokens, and/or the TTC Protocol.
There may be risks relating to acts of God, natural disasters, wars, terrorist attacks, riots, civil commotions widespread communicable diseases and other force majeure events beyond the control of TTC Foundation and the Token Vendor
The Token Sale and the performance of TTC Foundation’s activities may be interrupted, suspended or delayed due to acts of God, natural disasters, wars, terrorist attacks, riots, civil commotions, widespread communicable diseases and other force majeure events beyond the control of TTC Foundation. Such events could also lead to uncertainty in the economic outlook of global markets and there is no assurance that such markets will not be affected, or that recovery from the global financial crisis would continue. In such events, TTC Foundation’s business strategies, results of operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected. Further, if an outbreak of such infectious or communicable diseases occurs in any of the countries in which TTC Foundation, the developers, data providers or data consumers have operations in the future, market sentiment could be adversely affected and this may have a negative impact on the TTC Protocol and community.
There may be unanticipated risks arising from the Tokens
Cryptographic tokens such as the Tokens are a relatively new and dynamic technology. In addition to the risks highlighted herein, there are other risks associated with your purchase of, holding and use of the Tokens, including those that TTC Foundation and the Token Vendor cannot anticipate. Such risks may further materialise as unanticipated variations or combinations of the risks discussed hereto.
