NEBY Token Sale Terms
This agreement and the terms and clauses contained herein (hereinafter: these “Terms”) apply to the acquisition, use, trading and/or any other use (in the widest sense) of the cryptographic tokens called NEBY tokens (hereinafter: the “Token(s)”), which are to be issued by NEBY (defined below) to participants, contributors and/or users (in the widest sense) of NEBY and/or the Project (defined below) like you.
Upon acceptance of these Terms by you, either by acceptance on NEBY's website, acknowledgment and/or receipt of the Tokens, a legally binding agreement is formed between you and NEBY (CoC no.: 94597766, hereinafter: “NEBY”), of which agreement these Terms form an integral part.
You (hereinafter: the “Participant”) and NEBY are hereinafter jointly referred to as: the “Parties”.
Recitals:
- NEBY exploits a business which is engaged in the development of a blockchain project that will, in the end, launch a decentralized exchange (DEX). Set to become a flagship DEX in the Oasis ecosystem, the NEBY platform will be equipped with a range of features that improve the DeFi experience on the Oasis (network) blockchain. The platform is developed and active on the Oasis (network) blockchain, which is further described in NEBY's whitepaper and further project information, that can be found on NEBY's website: https://www.neby.exchange/ (the “Website”).
- Under and in connection with the Project, the Tokens are to be issued by NEBY to participants, contributors and/or users of the Project. The Tokens will play a central role under and in connection with the Project and are envisaged to have the following (future) functionalities:
- Staking : Token holders can earn rewards through staking their Tokens for a period of time. A percentage of the transaction fees paid by third parties for buying, selling or transferring the Token is used to fund the rewards.
- Liquidity provision : Token holders can provide liquidity for the liquidity pair used for buying and selling the Token, containing the Token and the native token of the Oasis blockchain (ROSE) tokens. Token holders providing liquidity are rewarded with additional Tokens and a percentage of the transaction fees deriving from swaps made with Tokens and ROSE tokens.
- Participant is interested in the Project and therefore wants to obtain Tokens on the terms and conditions set forth in these Terms.
- Participant realises that the Project as described in recital A is still under fundamental development, which means that, among other things but not limited to that, there is a significant risk for Participant that the Tokens (in the end) may not represent any practical or actual monetary value, and that Participant specifically, but not limited to that:
- does not have any opportunity to acquire shares or similar (property and/or equity) rights in NEBY's capital;
- will not obtain any control over or in NEBY, or any other legal entity, in any form whatsoever;
- is not entitled to any repayment of the Agreed Amount (defined below) in any form whatsoever, unless stated otherwise in these Terms;
- is not entitled to any interest compensation on the Agreed Amount in any form whatsoever;
- is not entitled to any (property) right regarding the (intellectual property rights with regard to the) Project in any form whatsoever, while NEBY will not provide the Project's source code to Participant, in any form whatsoever;
- realises that the Tokens may lose their value in part or in full or can increase significantly in value, which may lead to significant tax implications (claims) on the part of Participant;
- realises that the Tokens may not always be transferable and/or exchangeable (e.g. to the extent that there is no buyer at hand);
- realises that the Tokens may not be liquid;
- realises that these Terms do not constitute an offer or solicitation to sell financial instruments, whereas any such offer or solicitation to sell financial instruments can be made only by means of a prospectus or other offering documents pursuant to EU regulations;
- realises that NEBY's whitepaper, further documentation and information with regard to the Project nor these Terms constitute(s) a prospectus as referred to in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 or another offering document pursuant to EU legislation or Dutch law;
- realises that more than one other party will obtain or already has obtained Tokens, which means that there is no exclusivity for Participant in any form whatsoever;
- realises that the Project's development is not yet finalised which means that the Project may not be feasible for technical, economic, commercial or other reasons, in which case Participant does not have any right to compel NEBY to continue developing the Project, and/or to compel NEBY to carry out and/or to cause others to carry out any other action(s);
- realises that the Tokens are created and (partly) issued, but that continuous creation, issuance and functionality thereof is subjected to the further development of the Project, which means it may be possible that the Tokens cannot (in practice) be issued and/or exchanged as a result of (changed) market conditions, (amended) legislation, (changed) points of view on the part of the regulators and/or for other reasons, so that it is not certain that Participant will actually obtain and/or use the Allocated Tokens (defined below), in which case Participant is not entitled to any repayment of the Agreed Amount and/or compensation in any form whatsoever;
- realises that these Terms constitute an agreementsui generis and do not in any way constitute a loan agreement, purchase agreement, barter agreement or security, while the funds provided by Participant do not in any way constitute a debt owed by NEBY towards Participant nor does it grant Participant any rights with respect to NEBY other than as stipulated in these Terms, while furthermore the activities of NEBY in connection with these Terms are not regulated under the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het Financieel Toezicht);
- acknowledges that the Tokens are not securities (effecten), financial instruments (financiële instrumenten) and/or financial products (financiële producten), within the meaning of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act and no items or objects (zaken), within the meaning of the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek); and
- Participant is not entitled to personally or via (a) class action(s) hold NEBY, its advisors, shareholders and/or its directors, liable for any damages arising out of any of these or the foregoing recitals, nor for any damages arising out of or in connection with (the execution of) these Terms as a whole and/or the Project.
- In order to illustrate the (technical) knowledge of Participant of the status and functioning of blockchain technology and the application thereof, Participant hereby acknowledges (that Participant realises), amongst other things but not limited to, that:
- blockchain is a new and largely unregulated form of interaction and doing business. Many jurisdictions have not yet adopted their legal systems to this application of technology. As a result of this, upcoming changes in legal systems and/or other circumstances may result in substantial changes in the blockchain application and/or the (execution of the) Project, which in turn may lead to (the complete) loss of (the value of) the Tokens;
- once the Tokens have been transferred by NEBY, they are only accessible via a digital wallet. The wallet requires the means to store and access the private key. If either the private key or wallet is compromised this can result in the unrecoverable and permanent loss of the Tokens which are held in that wallet; and
- blockchain and the (underlying) software(products) are (still) in a development-stage and have not been proven to be without error. Therefore, NEBY cannot give Participant and other parties like Participant any warranties regarding the errorless and hack-free functioning and performance of NEBY's network, the Project and/or the blockchain(s) on which they are based.
- Participant realises and acknowledges that the Project is still in the process of development and this development has no fixed timeline or deadline. The issuing and distribution of the Tokens is planned on a best effort basis. Participant realises and acknowledges that digital tokens and other blockchain-related technologies are new and untested, and are thus inherently risky. NEBY is not responsible for any non-performance resulting from adverse changes in market forces or the technology. In addition, Participant has been warned and understands the following risks:
- legal risks regarding securities regulations;
- risks associated with blockchain-related technologies;
- risks of unfavourable regulatory actions;
- risks of cyber theft and hacking;
- risks of security weakness of codes & software;
- weaknesses of cryptography & mining attacks;
- risk of loss of value of the Tokens;
- the Project may not meet Participant's expectations;
- the Project may never be (fully) completed;
- regulatory risks associated with the Tokens and/or the Project; and/or
- risks of losing the Agreed Amount.
- Participant realises and acknowledges that these Terms, in relation to the Tokens, does not constitute an offer or invitation to subscribe for or to purchase any securities nor solicit any investment in any jurisdiction. Participant agrees to seek professional advice if he or she is in any doubt as to any aspect of these Terms.
