These Terms (including any documents and annexes referenced herein) apply to all Buyers of Tokens in the Token Sale.

Any potential future use of the Token or the Protocol may be subject to and governed by separate terms, conditions, and policies (as may be amended from time to time).

Buyers that send the Contribution Amount in any currency or in any manner or to any third party website, wallet address, bank account, service, smart contract, or similar that do not conform to the instructions laid out on the Website or these Terms risk losing their entire Contribution Amount. The Lab is not responsible or liable for recovering any such lost contributions, nor will the Lab be responsible or liable for any losses incurred by the Buyer in this respect.
