THE RISK DISCLOSURES IN EXHIBIT 1 AND THE POLICIES, INCLUDING THE TERMS OF SERVICE ON THE ENKRONOS WEB SITES (CURRENTLY AT WWW.AQUEST.IO, APPS.ENKRONOS.COM) ARE
INCORPORATED INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND ARE PART OF THIS AGREEMENT. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU KNOW THAT THE TERMS OF SERVICE INCLUDE AN ARBITRATION PROVISION CONTAINING A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. THE ARBITRATION PROVISION APPLIES TO THIS AGREEMENT. YOU SHOULD READ THE POLICIES AND RISK DISCLOSURES BEFORE AGREEING TO THIS AGREEMENT.
Section 12 contains the definitions of certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement. Though you should read and understand this entire Agreement before agreeing to its terms, you should pay particular attention to those terms written in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.
1. General
a. Terms. You will adhere to all AQU rules, regulations and guidance made available to you, including the Policies. You have read and understand this Agreement, Terms of Use, Risk Disclosures, Privacy Policy and other Policies and will regularly check for updates to these documents on aquest.io or other channels we make available, and will read any updates.
YOU AGREE AND CERTIFY THAT YOU ARE PURCHASING ENK DURING THE TGE FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL USE AND UTILITY, AND TO PARTICIPATE ON THE AQUEST APPLICATION AND NOT FOR INVESTMENT, OR FINANCIAL PURPOSES. YOU AGREE AND CERTIFY THAT AQU IS NOT A SECURITY OR A CRYPTOCURRENCY AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT AQU MAY LOSE ALL VALUE.
AQU is a cryptographic utility token used on the AQuest Application (or “Enkronos Apps”). If you did not understand any of the concepts identified in the White Paper, this Agreement, Terms of Use, Risk Disclosures, Privacy Policy or other Policies, you may contact us at support@enkronos.com.
b. Support to You. We will provide you web-based support only, which may include email, web forums, and knowledge base support. We will not provide telephone or live support. Our support email is support@enkronos.com.
2. Purchase and Delivery of AQU.
a. Purchase. You agree to purchase and we agree to sell, on the terms set forth in this Agreement, your Resulting Distribution. Your purchase is final. We will not provide any refund of the purchase price under any circumstances, except that if the TGE fails to purchase a minimum number of AQU established by us, then Ether sent by you to purchase AQU may be returned and the purchase and sale will be considered not made. The exact purchase time of all purchases of AQU during the TGE will be calculated and recorded as of the time they are received and processed by us and any AQuest smart contracts according to the Ethereum Block number.
b. Delivery Date. Upon receiving your Ether during the TGE is active, the account with which you used to purchase AQU will be credited with the appropriate number of AQU from the Resulting Distribution.
c. Delivery Method. All deliveries from the Resulting Distribution will be made electronically. Deliveries will be made directly to the Ethereum account, address or wallet associated with your AQU purchase.
d. Third Party Payment Processor. If you purchase Ether or acquire Ether using a third party payment processor (e.g., ShapeShift, YUNBI, Gatecoin), that payment processor is your agent, not ours, for the purpose of the payment and purchase. You, not we, are responsible for ensuring that we actually receive the appropriate amount of Ether. We are not responsible for any loss of funds due to the use of a third party payment processor.
e. Restriction on AQU Transfers. We may impose transfer restrictions on AQU, which may be enforced by an AQuest smart contract.
3. Security and Data Privacy.
a. Your Security. You will implement reasonable and appropriate measures designed to secure access to (i) any device connected with the email address associated with your account, (ii) private keys required to access any relevant Ethereum address or your AQU, and (iii) your username, password and any other login or identifying credentials. In the event that you are no longer in possession of any device connected with your account or are not able to provide your login or identifying credentials, we may, in our sole discretion, and only if we are able, grant access to your account to any person providing additional credentials to us. We reserve the right to determine the additional credentials required, which may include a sworn, notarized statement of identity.
b. Additional Information. You will provide to us, immediately upon our request, information that we, in our sole discretion, deem to be required to maintain compliance with any domestic or foreign law, regulation or policy. Such information may include a passport, driver’s license, utility bill, photographs of you, government identification cards, or sworn statements.
c. Your Information. We may use aggregate statistical information about your activity, including your activity on the AQuest Web Site or application and logins to various websites, for marketing or any other purpose in our sole discretion. We may use your internet protocol address to verify your purchase of AQU. However, we will not release your personally-identifying information to any third party without your consent, except as not prohibited by law or as set forth in this Agreement, our Privacy Policy or any Policies. All of your personal information will be protected by GDPR EU Law Framework. AQuest Application are all GDPR compliant.
4. Your Responsibilities.
a. Security and Backup. You are responsible for properly configuring any software in connection with your access to, or use of, AQU. AQuest log-in credentials are for your internal use only and you may not sell, transfer, or sublicense them to any other person, except that you may disclose your credentials to your employees, contractors or agents performing work on your behalf. You are responsible for any person’s use of your credentials.
b. End User Violations. You will be deemed to have taken any action that you permit, assist or facilitate any person to take related to this Agreement. You are responsible for any End User’s purchase and use of ENK through you. You will ensure that any End User complies with your obligations in this Agreement and that the terms of your agreement with any End User are consistent with this Agreement.
c. End User Support. You are responsible for providing customer service (if any) to any End User. We do not provide any support or services to End Users unless we have a separate agreement with you or an End User obligating us to provide support or services.
5. Taxes. All fees and charges payable by you are exclusive of applicable taxes and duties, including value-added tax and sales tax. You will provide us any information we reasonably request to determine whether we are obligated to collect taxes from you, including your value added tax identification number. If you are legally entitled to an exemption from any sales, use, or similar transaction tax, you are responsible for providing us with legally-sufficient tax exemption certificates for each taxing jurisdiction. We will apply the tax exemption certificates to charges under your account occurring after the date we receive the tax exemption certificates. If any deduction or withholding is required by law, you will notify us and will pay us any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the net amount that we receive, after any deduction and withholding, equals the amount we would have received if no deduction or withholding had been required. You will also provide us with documentation showing that the withheld and deducted amounts have been paid to the relevant taxing authority.
6. Term; Termination.
a. Term. The term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and willcontinue until terminated in accordance with this Agreement (“Term”).

EXHIBIT 1
Risk Disclosures
1. Risk of Losing Access to AQU Due to Loss of Credentials. Your AQU may be associated with an AQuest account until they are distributed to you. The AQuest account can only be accessed with login credentials selected by you. The loss of these credentials will result in the loss of AQU. Best practices dictate that you safely store credentials in one or more backup locations geographically separated from the working location.
2. Risks Associated with the Ethereum Protocol. AQU and the AQuest Application are based on the Ethereum protocol. As such, any malfunction, unintended function, unexpected functioning of or attack on the Ethereum protocol may cause the AQuest Application or AQU to malfunction or function in an unexpected or unintended manner. Ether, the native unit of account of the Ethereum protocol, may itself lose value in ways similar to AQU, and in other ways. More information about the Ethereum protocol is available at http://www.ethereum.org.
3. Risks Associated with Purchaser Credentials. Any person that gains access to or learns of your login credentials or private keys may be able to dispose of your AQU. To minimize this risk, you should guard against unauthorized access to your electronic devices.
4. Risk of Unfavorable Regulatory Action in One or More Jurisdictions. Blockchain technologies have been the subject of scrutiny by various regulatory bodies around the world. The functioning of the AQuest Application and AQU could be impacted by one or more regulatory inquiries or actions, including the licensing of or restrictions on the use, sale, or possession of digital tokens like AQU, which could impede, limit or end the development of the AQuest Application.
5. Risk of Alternative, Unofficial AQuest Application. Following the GTE-TGE and the development of the initial version of the AQuest Application, it is possible that alternative applications could be established, which use the same open source code and protocol underlying the AQuest Application, or part of them. The official AQuest Application may compete with these alternative, unofficial AQU-based applications, which could potentially negatively impact the AQuest Application and AQU, including its value.
6. Risk of Insufficient Interest in the AQuest Application or Distributed Applications.
It is possible that the AQuest Application will not be used by a large number of businesses, individuals, and other organizations and that there will be limited public interest in the creation and development of distributed applications. Such a lack of interest could negatively impact AQU and the AQuest Application.
7. Risk that the AQuest Application, as Developed, Will Not Meet the Expectations of AQuest or You. The AQuest Application is presently under development and may undergo significant changes before release. Any expectations or assumptions regarding the form and functionality of the AQuest Application or AQU (including participant behavior) held by AQuest or you may not be met upon release, for any number of reasons, including mistaken assumptions or analysis, a change in the design and implementation plans, and execution of the AQuest Application.
8. Risk of Theft and Hacking. Hackers or other groups or organizations or countries may attempt to interfere with the AQuest Application or the availability of AQU in any number of ways, including service attacks, Sybil attacks, spoofing, smurfing, malware attacks, or consensusbased attacks.
9. Risk of Security Weaknesses in the AQU Application Core Infrastructure Software. The AQuest Application could partially consists of open source software that is based on open source software.
There is a risk that the AQuest team, or other persons may intentionally or unintentionally introduce weaknesses or bugs into the core infrastructural elements of the AQuest Application interfering with the use of or causing the loss of AQU.
10. Risk of Weaknesses or Exploitable Breakthroughs in the Field of Cryptography. Advances in cryptography, or technical advances such as the development of quantum computers, could present risks to cryptographic tokens and the AQuest Application, which could result in the theft or loss of AQU.
11. Risk of AQU Mining Attacks. As with other decentralized cryptographic tokens and cryptocurrencies, the blockchain used for the AQuest Application is susceptible to mining attacks, including double -spend attacks, majority mining power attacks, “selfish- mining” attacks, and race condition attacks. Any successful attacks present a risk to the AQuest Application, AQU, and expected proper execution and sequencing of Ethereum contract computations. Despite the efforts of the AQuest team, the risk of known or novel mining attacks exists.
12. Risk of Lack of Adoption or Use of the AQuest Application. While AQU should not be viewed as an investment, it may have value over time. That value may be limited if the AQuest Application lacks use and adoption. If this becomes the case, there may be few or no markets following the launch of the application, potentially having an adverse impact on AQU.
13. Risk of an Illiquid Market for AQU. There very well may never be a secondary market for AQU. There are currently no exchanges upon which AQU would trade. If ever exchanges do develop, they will likely be relatively new and subject to poorly understood regulatory oversight.
They may therefore be more exposed to fraud and failure than established, regulated exchanges for other products and have a negative impact on AQU.
14. Risk of Uninsured Losses. Unlike bank accounts or accounts at some other financial institutions, funds held using the AQuest Application or Ethereum network are generally uninsured. In the event of any loss, there is no public insurer, such as the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or private insurer, to offer recourse to you.
15. Risk of Dissolution of the AQuest Project. It is possible that, due to any number of reasons, including an unfavorable fluctuation in the value of Ether, development issues with the AQuest Application, the failure of business relationships, or competing intellectual property claims, the AQuest project may no longer be viable as a business or otherwise and may dissolve or fail to launch.
16. Risk of Malfunction in the AQuest Application. It is possible that the AQuest Application malfunction in an unfavorable way, including one that results in the loss of AQU.
17. Unanticipated Risks. Cryptographic tokens are a new and untested technology. In addition to the risks discussed, there are risks that the AQuest team cannot anticipate. Further risks may materialize as unanticipated combinations or variations of the discussed risks or the emergence of new risks.
18. Choice of law, jurisdiction and territorial jurisdiction of the court
