RISKS 12.1. By utilizing the Services or interacting with the Site in any way, you represent and warrant that you understand and agree to the inherent risks associated with cryptographic systems and blockchain-based networks (including, without limitation, sudden changes in operating rules, such as those commonly referred to as “forks,” and advances in code cracking or other technical advancements, such as the development of quantum computers, which may materially affect the Services); Digital Assets, including the usage and intricacies of native Digital Assets, like Solana (SOL); smart contract-based tokens, such as those that follow the Solana Token Standard; and systems that interact with blockchain-based networks. Clone does not own or control any of the underlying software through which blockchain networks are formed. In general, the software underlying blockchain networks, including the Solana blockchains, is open source, such that anyone can use, copy, modify, and distribute it. 12.2. The Services and your Digital Assets could be impacted by one or more regulatory inquiries or regulatory actions, which may require us to, upon request by government agencies, take certain actions or provide information, which may not be in your best interest or could impede or limit the ability of Clone to continue to make available its proprietary software and, thus, could impede or limit your ability to access or use the Services. 12.3. You understand that the smart contract and Solana blockchain remains under development, which creates technological and security risks when using the Services in addition to uncertainty relating to Digital Assets and transactions therein. You acknowledge that the cost of transacting on the Solana blockchain is variable and may increase or decrease at any time causing impact to any activities taking place on the Solana blockchain, which may result in losses, price fluctuations or increased costs when using the Services. 12.4. Although we intend to provide accurate and timely information on the Site and during your use of the Services, the Site and other information available when using the Services may not always be entirely accurate, complete, or current and may also include technical inaccuracies or typographical errors.

Accordingly, you should verify all information before relying on it, and all decisions based on information contained on the Site or as part of the Services are your sole responsibility. No representation is made as to the accuracy, completeness, or appropriateness for any particular purpose of any pricing information distributed via the Site or otherwise when using the Services. This means however, prices and pricing information may be higher or lower than prices available on other platforms providing similar services. 12.5. Any use or interaction with the Services requires a comprehensive understanding of applied cryptography and computer science to appreciate the inherent risks, including those listed above. You represent and warrant that you possess relevant knowledge and skills.

Use of the Services, including, without limitation, for trading Digital Assets, staking, borrowing or supplying Digital Assets, trading on margin, and entering into derivatives and swaps contracts, may carry financial risk.

Transactions entered into in connection with the Services are irreversible and final and there are no refunds. You acknowledge and agree that you will access and use the Site and the Services at your own risk. The risk of loss in trading Digital Assets, especially when trading on margin, can be substantial. You should, therefore, carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources.

You accept all consequences of using the Services, including the risk that you may lose access to your Digital Assets indefinitely. All transaction decisions are made solely by you. Notwithstanding anything in these Terms, we accept no responsibility whatsoever for, and will in no circumstances be liable to you in connection with, your use of the Services for performing Digital Asset transactions, including entering into margin position, borrow or lend, derivative or swap contracts. 12.7. You hereby assume and agree that Clone will have no responsibility or liability for the risks set forth in this Section 12 or otherwise as set out on the Site. You hereby irrevocably waive, release and discharge all claims, whether known or unknown to you, against Clone, its affiliates, and their respective shareholders, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives, suppliers, and contractors related to any of the risks set forth in this Section 12 or otherwise as set out on the Site.

16.4. THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN CLONE AND YOU.
17. LAW AND FORUM CHOICE These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the jurisdiction of the British Virgin Islands, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the party filing for arbitration. 18.4. Any arbitration hearings will be conducted confidentially and remotely, to the extent permitted by the relevant seat of arbitration rules, unless we both agree to a different location. The parties agree that there shall only be one arbritrator and the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement. 18.5. Except as provided in this Section, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by either party and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favour of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. To the extent that you or Clone prevails on a claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration. 18.6. YOU AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY ONLY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ Dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution Section shall be null and void. 18.7. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 18.6 of these Terms (“Class Action Waiver”), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply. 18.8. Both you and Clone agree that any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services must be filed within one (1) year after such claim arose, otherwise the claim is permanently barred, which means that you and Clone will not have the right to assert the claim.
