Buyer and SEFPAY shall be referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively, as the “Parties”.
This Agreement contains the terms and conditions that govern the purchase of the standard Ethereum ERC20-compatible SEF Tokens (the "SEF Tokens") from SEFPAY, for their utilization on the SEFPAY Platform (the "SEFPAY Platform").

A. BINDING AGREEMENT: Buyer understands and agrees that Buyer is subject to and bound by this Agreement by virtue of Buyer’s purchase of SEF Tokens.
B. Restriction on sales in certain countries: SEF Tokens are not being offered or distributed to any citizen/resident of, or a person located or domiciled in, a Restricted Country (a "Restricted Person"). A "Restricted Country" refers to any country that, as of the date of Buyer's execution of this Agreement (the "Effective Date"), has restricted the sale, issuances, or utilization of cryptocurrency in such country, and, for the purposes of this Agreement, shall be deemed to include the United States of America and China (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall exclude Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan).

C. SEF TOKENS ARE UTILITY TOKENS AND HAVE NO RIGHTS, PROFITS OR DIVIDENDS: The SEF Tokens are utility tokens which are meant to be utilised for the services within the SEFPAY Platform. Holders of the SEF Tokens shall not, under any circumstances, have voting rights, a right to a share of profits or the right to receive dividends, through holding the SEF Tokens.

D. THE MARKET PRICE OF SEF TOKENS IN PUBLIC EXCHANGES ARE UNPREDICTABLE AND SEF TOKENS MAY HAVE NO VALUE. Buyer understands and accepts that there is a possibility that SEF Tokens may be listed on exchange(s) and the market price of SEF Tokens on such exchange(s) is unpredictable. Buyer understands and accepts that due to the unpredictability and uncertainty of the market price, the value of the SEF Tokens Buyer holds may fluctuate and vary from time to time, and Buyer shall bear the burden of all potential value losses when holding the SEF Tokens. For the avoidance of doubt, SEFPAY makes no guarantees and warranties that SEF Tokens will be listed on exchanges.
E. Compliance with applicable laws: It is Buyer's responsibility to ensure that it is eligible to purchase the SEF Tokens under the applicable laws of its jurisdiction, and Buyer is fully responsible for obtaining all relevant government regulatory approvals/licenses, verification and/or registration itself as may be required for its compliance with all relevant regulations, including, but not limited to, any relevant foreign exchange regulations and/or overseas investment regulations, tax, money laundering, in each case without requiring SEFPAY to take any steps to ensure such compliance.
F. THE REGULATORY STATUS OF TOKENS, DIGITAL ASSETS AND BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY IS UNCLEAR OR UNSETTLED IN MANY JURISDICTIONS: There is significant uncertainty as to whether securities, tax, commodity, money transmission or other regulatory authorities may take action that fundamentally changes or cause material adverse impact to SEFPAY, SEFPAY Platform and SEF Tokens.
G. Non-refundable and non-cancellable: The purchase of SEF Tokens is non-refundable and purchases cannot be cancelled by Buyer. Buyer may lose all amounts paid.
H. SEFPAY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE OR CANCEL SEF TOKEN PURCHASE REQUESTS AT ANY TIME IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION.

SEFPAY does not make and expressly disclaims all representations and warranties, express, implied or statutory; and with respect to the SEF Tokens, SEFPAY specifically does not represent and warrant and expressly disclaims any representation or warranty, express, implied or statutory, including without limitation, any representations or warranties of title, non-infringement, merchantability, usage, suitability or fitness for any particular purpose, as to the workmanship or technical coding thereof, or the absence of any defects therein, whether latent or patent.
6.2 SEFPAY makes no guarantees and/or warranties to the liquidity or transferability of SEF Tokens, or that SEF Tokens will be listed on exchanges, or the ability of anyone to purchase or use the SEF Tokens. Buyer understands and accepts that it may unable to transfer, sell, purchase or deal with its SEF Tokens in exchanges for various reasons.
6.3 Without limiting the foregoing, SEFPAY does not represent or warrant that the process of purchasing the SEF Tokens or receiving the SEF Tokens will be uninterrupted or error-free or that the SEF Tokens are reliable and error-free. As a result, Buyer acknowledges and understands that Buyer may not receive SEF Tokens and may lose the entire amount of Ether that Buyer paid to SEFPAY. It is solely Buyer's responsibility to provide an accurate digital wallet address to SEFPAY for receipt of any SEF Tokens distributed to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, and SEFPAY shall not be responsible for any loss of SEF Tokens distributed to an incompatible or inaccurate wallet provided by Buyer.
6.4 Any material changes in the relevant laws and regulations (in the relevant jurisdiction) in relation to the offering of the SEF Token and/or the operation of the SEFPAY Platform such jurisdictions shall constitute a force majeure and SEFPAY will not be responsible for any losses suffered by Buyer arising out of such material changes in relevant laws and regulations.
6.5 Buyer acknowledges that it has read this Agreement, and in particular, acknowledges that it shall be taken to have agreed to take all risks (including but not limited to the risks stated in Article VII of this Agreement) in relation to the purchase of the SEF Tokens.
7. ARTICLE VII RISKS
7.1 Purchase Price Risk
There are no guarantees as to the price of SEF Tokens purchased by Buyer and no guarantees that the price per SEF Token determined by the market will be equal to or higher than the price at purchase. There is the possibility that the price per SEF Token may fall below the price paid by initial buyers of SEF Tokens during the initial distribution period. SEFPAY reserves the right to change the duration of any timeframe for the distribution of SEF Tokens, including, without limitation, the unavailability or non-functionality of the Website or other unforeseen procedural or security issues.
7.2 Blockchain Delay Risk
The SEF token is an Ethereum blockchain. On the Ethereum blockchain, timing of block production is determined by proof of work so block production can occur at random times and irregularly. Buyer acknowledges and understands that the Ethereum blockchain may not include Buyer’s transaction at the time Buyer expects and Buyer may not receive SEF Tokens the same day Buyer sends Ether for the purchase of the SEF Tokens.
7.3 Ability to Transact or Resell
Buyer may be unable to sell or otherwise transact in SEF Tokens at any time, or for the price Buyer paid arising from various reasons, including (but not limited to) (a) a diminution in value of the SEF Tokens; (b) a lack of liquidity for the SEF Tokens; or (c) SEFPAY imposing restrictions on the transferability of SEF Tokens. Buyer acknowledges, understands and agrees that: (a) SEF Tokens may have no value; (b) there is no guarantee or representation of liquidity for the SEF Tokens; and (c) SEFPAY are not and shall not be responsible for or liable for the market value of SEF Tokens, the transferability and/or liquidity of SEF Tokens and/or the availability of any market for SEF Tokens through third parties or otherwise.
7.4 Ethereum Blockchain
The Ethereum blockchain is prone to periodic congestion during which transactions can be delayed or lost. Individuals may also intentionally spam the Ethereum network in an attempt to gain an advantage in purchasing cryptographic tokens. Buyer acknowledges and understands that Ethereum block producers may not include Buyer’s transaction when Buyer wants or Buyer’s transaction may not be included at all.
Further, because the Ethereum blockchain relies upon the consensus of their participants to determine their governance, those participants may determine to materially modify the operation or transaction history of their blockchain through a “fork” or other means, without the consent or participation of Buyer or SEFPAY, which may have unpredictable or materially adverse impact on the availability or utility of the SEF Token. Buyer agrees that Buyer assumes all such risk and agrees that SEFPAY is not responsible for any losses associated therewith.
7.5 Token Security
SEF Tokens may be subject to expropriation and/or theft. Hackers or other malicious groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with the SEFPAY Platform or the sale of SEF Tokens 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, because the Ethereum platform rests on open source software and SEF Tokens are based on open source software, there is the risk that Ethereum smart contracts may contain intentional or unintentional bugs or weaknesses which may negatively affect the SEF Tokens or result in the loss of Buyer’s SEF Tokens, the loss of Buyer’s ability to access or control Buyer’s SEF Tokens or the loss of Ether in Buyer’s account. In the event of such a software bug or weakness, there may be no remedy and holders of SEF Tokens are not guaranteed any remedy, refund or compensation.
7.6 Access to Private Keys
SEF Tokens purchased by Buyer may be held by Buyer in Buyer’s digital wallet or vault, which requires a private key, or a combination of private keys, for access. Accordingly, loss of requisite private key(s) associated with Buyer’s digital wallet or vault storing SEF Tokens will result in loss of such SEF Tokens, access to Buyer’s SEF Token balance and/or any initial balances in blockchains created by third parties. Moreover, any third party that gains access to such private key(s), including by gaining access to login credentials of a hosted wallet or vault service Buyer uses, may be able to misappropriate Buyer’s SEF Tokens. SEFPAY is not responsible for any such losses.
7.7 New Technology
Some of the SEFPAY Platform and other matters set forth in the White Paper are new and untested. The SEFPAY Platform might not be capable of completion, implementation or adoption. It is possible that no blockchain utilizing the SEF Tokens will be ever be launched and there may never be an operational SEFPAY Platform on the blockchain. Even if the SEFPAY Platform and SEF Tokens are completed, implemented and adopted, they might not function as intended. Also, technology is changing rapidly, so the SEF Tokens and SEFPAY Platform may become outdated.
7.8 Reliance on Third-Parties
SEFPAY Platform and SEF Tokens will rely, in whole or partly, on third parties to adopt and implement it and to continue to develop, supply, and otherwise support it. There is no assurance or guarantee that those third parties will complete their work, properly carry out their obligations, or otherwise meet anyone’s needs, all of might have a material adverse effect on the SEFPAY Platform and SEF Tokens.
7.9 Failure to Map a Public Key to Buyer’s Account
Failure of Buyer to map a public key to Buyer’s account may result in third parties being unable to recognize Buyer’s SEF Token balance on the Ethereum blockchain when and if they configure the initial balances of a new blockchain based upon the SEFPAY Platform of which SEFPAY makes no representation or guarantee.
7.10 Exchange & Counterparty Risks
If Buyer sends Ether from an exchange or an account that Buyer does not control, SEF Tokens will be allocated to the account that has sent Ether; therefore, Buyer may never receive or be able to recover Buyer’s SEF Tokens. Furthermore, if Buyer chooses to maintain or hold SEF Tokens through a cryptocurrency exchange or other third party, Buyer’s SEF Tokens may be stolen or lost. In addition, third parties may not recognize Buyer’s claim to any derivative tokens if and when launched by third parties. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer sends Ether through an exchange account and/or holds SEF Tokens on a cryptocurrency exchange or with another third party at Buyer’s own and sole risk.
7.11 Changes to the SEFPAY Platform
The SEFPAY Platform is constantly under development and may undergo significant changes over time. Although SEFPAY Platform has the features and specifications set forth in the White Paper, SEFPAY may make changes to such features and specifications for any number of reasons, and any party that adopts the SEFPAY Platform also may make changes, any of which may mean that the SEFPAY Platform and SEF Tokens does not meet Buyer’s expectations.
7.12 Project Completion
The development of the SEFPAY Platform on the blockchain is still in a very early stage. It may be abandoned for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, lack of interest from the public, lack of funding, lack of commercial success or prospects, or departure of key personnel.
7.13 Lack of Interest
Even if the SEFPAY Platform is finished and adopted, the ongoing success of the SEFPAY Platform and SEF Tokens relies on the interest and participation of third parties like charities, nonprofits, ngos, causes, communities, donors, brands and influencers. There can be no assurance or guarantee that there will be sufficient interest or participation in the SEFPAY Platform. Lack of interest is more likely to lead to price fluctuation of SEF Tokens, thus impacting the long-term development of SEFPAY Platform. When the price fluctuates, The SEFPAY Foundation will not, and has no responsibility and ability to stabilize or influence the market price of SEF Tokens.
7.14 Uncertain Regulatory Framework
The regulatory status of cryptographic tokens, digital assets and blockchain technology is unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions. It is difficult to predict how or whether governmental authorities will regulate such technologies. It is likewise difficult to predict how or whether any governmental authority may make changes to existing laws, regulations and/or rules that will affect cryptographic tokens, digital assets, blockchain technology and its applications. Such changes could negatively impact SEF Tokens in various ways, including, for example, through a determination that SEF Tokens are regulated financial instruments that require registration. SEFPAY may cease the distribution of SEF Tokens, the development of the SEFPAY Platform or cease operations in a jurisdiction in the event that governmental actions make it unlawful or commercially undesirable to continue to do so.
7.15 Risk of Government Action
As noted above, the industry in which SEFPAY operates is very competitive, and may be subject to heightened oversight and scrutiny, including investigations or enforcement actions. There can be no assurance that governmental authorities will not examine the operations of SEFPAY and/or pursue enforcement actions against SEFPAY. Such governmental activities may or may not be the result of targeting SEFPAY in particular. All of this may subject SEFPAY to judgments, settlements, fines or penalties, or cause SEFPAY to restructure its operations and activities or to cease offering certain products or services, all of which could harm SEFPAY’s reputation or lead to higher operational costs, which may in turn have a material adverse effect on the SEF Tokens and/or the development of the SEFPAY Platform.
8. ARTICLE VIII LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION
8.1 Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer disclaims any right or cause of action against SEFPAY of any kind in any jurisdiction that would give rise to any damages whatsoever. SEFPAY shall not be liable to Buyer for any type of damages, even if and notwithstanding the extent to which SEFPAY has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Buyer agrees not to seek any refund, compensation or reimbursement from SEFPAY, regardless of the reason, and regardless of whether the reason is identified in this Agreement. SEFPAY is not and shall not be responsible for or liable for the market value of SEF Tokens, the transferability or liquidity of SEF Tokens or the availability of any market for SEF Tokens through third parties or otherwise.
8.2 Damages Limitations

8.4 Release
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer releases SEFPAY from responsibility, liability, claims, demands, and/or damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown (including, but not limited to, claims of negligence), arising out of or related to disputes between Buyer and the acts or omissions of third parties.
8.5 Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless and reimburse SEFPAY from and against any and all actions, proceedings, claims, damages, demands and actions (including without limitation fees and expenses of counsel), incurred by SEFPAY arising from or relating to: (i) Buyer’s purchase or use of SEF Tokens; (ii) Buyer’s responsibilities or obligations under this Agreement; (iii) Buyer’s breach of or violation of this Agreement; (iv) any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Buyer; (v) Buyer’s violation of any rights of any other person or entity; and/or (vi) any act or omission of Buyer that is negligent, unlawful or constitutes willful misconduct.
SEFPAY reserves the right to exercise sole control over the defense, at Buyer’s expense, of any claim subject to indemnification under this Section 8.5. This indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnities set forth in a written agreement between Buyer and SEFPAY.
9. ARTICLE IX DISPUTE RESOLUTION
9.1 Informal Dispute Resolution
Buyer and SEFPAY shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement, including with respect to the formation, applicability, breach, termination, validity or enforceability thereof (a “Dispute”).

The number of arbitrators shall be one (1), who shall be selected by SEFPAY. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. The governing law of the Agreement shall be as set forth in Section 10.9 herein. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the Parties (“Binding Arbitration”). The Parties undertake to carry out any award without delay and waive their right to any form of recourse insofar as such waiver can validly be made. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant Party or its assets. SEFPAY and Buyer will each pay their respective attorneys’ fees and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SEFPAY reserves the right, in its sole and exclusive discretion, to assume responsibility for any or all of the costs of the arbitration.
9.3 No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions

Further, a dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.

B. Restriction on sales in certain countries: SEF Tokens are not being offered or distributed to any citizen/resident of, or a person located or domiciled in, a Restricted Country (a "Restricted Person").

Buyer understands and accepts that due to the unpredictability and uncertainty of the market price, the value of the SEF Tokens Buyer holds may fluctuate and vary from time to time, and Buyer shall bear the burden of all potential value losses when holding the SEF Tokens. For the avoidance of doubt, SEFPAY makes no guarantees and warranties that SEF Tokens will be listed on exchanges.
E. Compliance with applicable laws: It is Buyer's responsibility to ensure that it is eligible to purchase the SEF Tokens under the applicable laws of its jurisdiction, and Buyer is fully responsible for obtaining all relevant government regulatory approvals/licenses, verification and/or registration itself as may be required for its compliance with all relevant regulations, including, but not limited to, any relevant foreign exchange regulations and/or overseas investment regulations, tax, money laundering, in each case without requiring SEFPAY to take any steps to ensure such compliance.
F. THE REGULATORY STATUS OF TOKENS, DIGITAL ASSETS AND BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY IS UNCLEAR OR UNSETTLED IN MANY JURISDICTIONS: There is significant uncertainty as to whether securities, tax, commodity, money transmission or other regulatory authorities may take action that fundamentally changes or cause material adverse impact to SEFPAY, SEFPAY Platform and SEF Tokens.
G. Non-refundable and non-cancellable: The purchase of SEF Tokens is non-refundable and purchases cannot be cancelled by Buyer. Buyer may lose all amounts paid.

7. ARTICLE VII RISKS
7.1 Purchase Price Risk
There are no guarantees as to the price of SEF Tokens purchased by Buyer and no guarantees that the price per SEF Token determined by the market will be equal to or higher than the price at purchase. There is the possibility that the price per SEF Token may fall below the price paid by initial buyers of SEF Tokens during the initial distribution period. SEFPAY reserves the right to change the duration of any timeframe for the distribution of SEF Tokens, including, without limitation, the unavailability or non-functionality of the Website or other unforeseen procedural or security issues.
7.2 Blockchain Delay Risk
The SEF token is an Ethereum blockchain. On the Ethereum blockchain, timing of block production is determined by proof of work so block production can occur at random times and irregularly. Buyer acknowledges and understands that the Ethereum blockchain may not include Buyer’s transaction at the time Buyer expects and Buyer may not receive SEF Tokens the same day Buyer sends Ether for the purchase of the SEF Tokens.
7.3 Ability to Transact or Resell
Buyer may be unable to sell or otherwise transact in SEF Tokens at any time, or for the price Buyer paid arising from various reasons, including (but not limited to) (a) a diminution in value of the SEF Tokens; (b) a lack of liquidity for the SEF Tokens; or (c) SEFPAY imposing restrictions on the transferability of SEF Tokens. Buyer acknowledges, understands and agrees that: (a) SEF Tokens may have no value; (b) there is no guarantee or representation of liquidity for the SEF Tokens; and (c) SEFPAY are not and shall not be responsible for or liable for the market value of SEF Tokens, the transferability and/or liquidity of SEF Tokens and/or the availability of any market for SEF Tokens through third parties or otherwise.
7.4 Ethereum Blockchain
The Ethereum blockchain is prone to periodic congestion during which transactions can be delayed or lost. Individuals may also intentionally spam the Ethereum network in an attempt to gain an advantage in purchasing cryptographic tokens. Buyer acknowledges and understands that Ethereum block producers may not include Buyer’s transaction when Buyer wants or Buyer’s transaction may not be included at all.
Further, because the Ethereum blockchain relies upon the consensus of their participants to determine their governance, those participants may determine to materially modify the operation or transaction history of their blockchain through a “fork” or other means, without the consent or participation of Buyer or SEFPAY, which may have unpredictable or materially adverse impact on the availability or utility of the SEF Token. Buyer agrees that Buyer assumes all such risk and agrees that SEFPAY is not responsible for any losses associated therewith.
7.5 Token Security
SEF Tokens may be subject to expropriation and/or theft. Hackers or other malicious groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with the SEFPAY Platform or the sale of SEF Tokens 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, because the Ethereum platform rests on open source software and SEF Tokens are based on open source software, there is the risk that Ethereum smart contracts may contain intentional or unintentional bugs or weaknesses which may negatively affect the SEF Tokens or result in the loss of Buyer’s SEF Tokens, the loss of Buyer’s ability to access or control Buyer’s SEF Tokens or the loss of Ether in Buyer’s account. In the event of such a software bug or weakness, there may be no remedy and holders of SEF Tokens are not guaranteed any remedy, refund or compensation.
7.6 Access to Private Keys
SEF Tokens purchased by Buyer may be held by Buyer in Buyer’s digital wallet or vault, which requires a private key, or a combination of private keys, for access. Accordingly, loss of requisite private key(s) associated with Buyer’s digital wallet or vault storing SEF Tokens will result in loss of such SEF Tokens, access to Buyer’s SEF Token balance and/or any initial balances in blockchains created by third parties. Moreover, any third party that gains access to such private key(s), including by gaining access to login credentials of a hosted wallet or vault service Buyer uses, may be able to misappropriate Buyer’s SEF Tokens. SEFPAY is not responsible for any such losses.
7.7 New Technology
Some of the SEFPAY Platform and other matters set forth in the White Paper are new and untested. The SEFPAY Platform might not be capable of completion, implementation or adoption. It is possible that no blockchain utilizing the SEF Tokens will be ever be launched and there may never be an operational SEFPAY Platform on the blockchain. Even if the SEFPAY Platform and SEF Tokens are completed, implemented and adopted, they might not function as intended. Also, technology is changing rapidly, so the SEF Tokens and SEFPAY Platform may become outdated.
7.8 Reliance on Third-Parties
SEFPAY Platform and SEF Tokens will rely, in whole or partly, on third parties to adopt and implement it and to continue to develop, supply, and otherwise support it. There is no assurance or guarantee that those third parties will complete their work, properly carry out their obligations, or otherwise meet anyone’s needs, all of might have a material adverse effect on the SEFPAY Platform and SEF Tokens.
7.9 Failure to Map a Public Key to Buyer’s Account
Failure of Buyer to map a public key to Buyer’s account may result in third parties being unable to recognize Buyer’s SEF Token balance on the Ethereum blockchain when and if they configure the initial balances of a new blockchain based upon the SEFPAY Platform of which SEFPAY makes no representation or guarantee.
7.10 Exchange & Counterparty Risks
If Buyer sends Ether from an exchange or an account that Buyer does not control, SEF Tokens will be allocated to the account that has sent Ether; therefore, Buyer may never receive or be able to recover Buyer’s SEF Tokens. Furthermore, if Buyer chooses to maintain or hold SEF Tokens through a cryptocurrency exchange or other third party, Buyer’s SEF Tokens may be stolen or lost. In addition, third parties may not recognize Buyer’s claim to any derivative tokens if and when launched by third parties. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer sends Ether through an exchange account and/or holds SEF Tokens on a cryptocurrency exchange or with another third party at Buyer’s own and sole risk.
7.11 Changes to the SEFPAY Platform
The SEFPAY Platform is constantly under development and may undergo significant changes over time. Although SEFPAY Platform has the features and specifications set forth in the White Paper, SEFPAY may make changes to such features and specifications for any number of reasons, and any party that adopts the SEFPAY Platform also may make changes, any of which may mean that the SEFPAY Platform and SEF Tokens does not meet Buyer’s expectations.
7.12 Project Completion
The development of the SEFPAY Platform on the blockchain is still in a very early stage. It may be abandoned for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, lack of interest from the public, lack of funding, lack of commercial success or prospects, or departure of key personnel.
7.13 Lack of Interest
Even if the SEFPAY Platform is finished and adopted, the ongoing success of the SEFPAY Platform and SEF Tokens relies on the interest and participation of third parties like charities, nonprofits, ngos, causes, communities, donors, brands and influencers. There can be no assurance or guarantee that there will be sufficient interest or participation in the SEFPAY Platform. Lack of interest is more likely to lead to price fluctuation of SEF Tokens, thus impacting the long-term development of SEFPAY Platform. When the price fluctuates, The SEFPAY Foundation will not, and has no responsibility and ability to stabilize or influence the market price of SEF Tokens.
7.14 Uncertain Regulatory Framework
The regulatory status of cryptographic tokens, digital assets and blockchain technology is unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions. It is difficult to predict how or whether governmental authorities will regulate such technologies. It is likewise difficult to predict how or whether any governmental authority may make changes to existing laws, regulations and/or rules that will affect cryptographic tokens, digital assets, blockchain technology and its applications. Such changes could negatively impact SEF Tokens in various ways, including, for example, through a determination that SEF Tokens are regulated financial instruments that require registration. SEFPAY may cease the distribution of SEF Tokens, the development of the SEFPAY Platform or cease operations in a jurisdiction in the event that governmental actions make it unlawful or commercially undesirable to continue to do so.
7.15 Risk of Government Action
As noted above, the industry in which SEFPAY operates is very competitive, and may be subject to heightened oversight and scrutiny, including investigations or enforcement actions. There can be no assurance that governmental authorities will not examine the operations of SEFPAY and/or pursue enforcement actions against SEFPAY. Such governmental activities may or may not be the result of targeting SEFPAY in particular. All of this may subject SEFPAY to judgments, settlements, fines or penalties, or cause SEFPAY to restructure its operations and activities or to cease offering certain products or services, all of which could harm SEFPAY’s reputation or lead to higher operational costs, which may in turn have a material adverse effect on the SEF Tokens and/or the development of the SEFPAY Platform.
