EXHIBIT A Description of the Company, the Platform, and SQRB TOKENS
1. OVERVIEW OF COMPANY AND AFFILIATES
SQRBIT, Inc., a company incorporated in Delaware, USA its registered address at 222 Delaware Street Ste-207 C77, Delaware USA 19720 (the “Company“). The Company is currently developing the SQRBIT™ Platform (the “Services“). Access to the Services will necessitate the purchase of digital tokens issued by the Company (the “Tokens“).
2. OVERVIEW OF THE PLATFORM
The Company, SQRBIT is currently developing and deploying a BSC-based comprehensive interaction platform that leverages blockchain technology, and more specifically, auditable immutability and traceability of records to act as a bridge between company, real estate investors, and regulators (the “Platform”), as described in the White Paper available on www.sqrbit.com/whitepaper (the “White Paper”).
Accessing the platform requires KYC/AML verifications and USDT, USDC, BNB tokens available in our Token Sale. Our platform makes real estate investment both simple and secure.
3. SQRB TOKENS
The Company expects SQRB Tokens to be used as digital utilities that power and incentivize the SQRB ecosystem and Platform. In addition, the SQRB Tokens provide access to the Platform.
4. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE PLATFORM AND ONGOING DEVELOPMENT
Further details regarding the Platform and uses of SQRB Tokens. The Company’s anticipated development roadmap is described in the White Paper, which is available at sqrbit.com. Although the Company intends for the Platform and SQRB Tokens to function in the manner generally described above, it reserves the right to modify features, functionalities, or ongoing development plans in its sole and absolute discretion. Moreover, the information provided in the White Paper is provided for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, does not form part of this Agreement unless expressly incorporated herein, and is subject to modification by Company in its sole and absolute discretion.
EXHIBIT ACCREDITED INVESTOR QUESTIONNAIRE
The Purchaser at this moment represents and warrants, under Section 2 of the Agreement, that he, she, or it is correct and in all respects described by the category or categories set forth below directly under which the Purchaser or its authorized representative has signed his, her or its name (or initialed or otherwise indicated that each such category describes the subscriber).
EXHIBIT CERTAIN RISKS RELATING TO PURCHASE, SALE, AND USE OF SQRB TOKENS
Important Note: As noted elsewhere in this Agreement, SQRB Tokens are not being designed or sold as currency, securities, right of ownership, the expectation of profit or any other form of investment product. Accordingly, none of the information presented in this Exhibit C is intended to form the basis for any investment decision, and no specific recommendations are intended. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information included in this Agreement and the White Paper before deciding whether to purchase the SQRB Tokens. The occurrence of any of the risks described below or in the White Paper could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s or SQRBIT’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and future growth and development prospects. In these circumstances, the market price of the SQRB Token could decline, or the Utility of the SQRB Tokens may decrease, and the SQRB Token may lose their value if any, entirely. The Company and SQRB expressly disclaim any responsibility for any direct or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever arising directly or indirectly from (i) reliance on any information contained in this Exhibit C, (ii) any error, omission, or inaccuracy in any such information or (iii) any action resulting from such information. By purchasing, holding, and using SQRB Tokens, you expressly acknowledge and assume the following risks:
1. RISK OF LOSING ACCESS TO SQRB TOKENS DUE TO LOSS OF PRIVATE KEY(S), CUSTODIAL ERROR OR PURCHASER ERROR
A private key, or a combination of private keys, is necessary for controlling and disposing of SQRB Tokens stored in your Purchaser Wallet or other digital storage facility. Consequently, the loss of the requisite private key(s) associated with your Purchaser Wallet or other digital storage facility holding SQRB Tokens will lead to the loss of those tokens. Furthermore, any third party who gains access to such private key(s), including by obtaining your Purchaser Wallet login credentials or those of your chosen digital storage service, may be able to misuse your SQRB Tokens. Any errors or malfunctions caused by or related to your Purchaser Wallet or chosen digital storage facility for receiving and storing SQRB Tokens, including your failure to properly maintain or utilize such facilities, may also result in the loss of your SQRB TOKENS. Additionally, failure to precisely follow the procedures outlined in Exhibit B for purchasing and receiving SQRB TOKENS may result in the loss of your SQRB TOKENS.
2. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BINANCE BLOCKCHAIN
Because SQRB TOKENS and the Platform are based on the Binance blockchain, any malfunction, breakdown, or abandonment of the Binance blockchain may have a material adverse effect on the Platform or SQRB TOKENS. Moreover, advances in cryptography, or technical advances such as the development of quantum computing, could present risks to SQRB TOKENS and the Platform, including the use of SQRB TOKENS, by rendering ineffective the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) blockchain.
3. RISK OF MINING ATTACKS
As with other decentralized cryptographic tokens based on the Binance blockchain, SQRB TOKENS are susceptible to attacks by miners in the course of validating SQRB TOKENS transactions on the Binance blockchain, including, but not limited to, double-spend attacks, majority mining power attacks, and selfish-mining attacks. Any successful attacks present a risk to the Platform and SQRB TOKENS, including, but not limited to, accurate execution and recording of transactions involving SQRB TOKENS.
4. RISK OF HACKING AND SECURITY WEAKNESSES
Hackers or other malicious groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with the Platform or SQRB TOKENS in various ways, including, but not limited to, malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks, smurfing, and spoofing. Furthermore, because the Platform is based on an open-source protocol, there is a risk that a third party or a member of the Company team or SQRBIT team may intentionally or unintentionally introduce weaknesses into the core infrastructure of the Platform, which could negatively affect the Platform and SQRB TOKENS, including SQRB TOKENS’ use for Token Utility.
5. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH MARKETS FOR SQRB TOKENS
SQRB TOKENS are intended solely in connection with the Platform. The Company does not support or otherwise facilitate any secondary trading or external valuation of SQRB TOKENS. This restricts the contemplated avenues for using SQRB TOKENS and could therefore create illiquidity risk concerning SQRB TOKENS you hold. Even if third-party exchanges facilitate secondary trading of SQRB TOKENS, such exchanges may be relatively new and subject to little or no regulatory oversight, making them more susceptible to market-related risks. Furthermore, to the extent that third parties ascribe an external exchange value to SQRB TOKENS (e.g., as denominated in a digital or fiat currency), such value may be highly volatile and diminish to zero.
6. RISK OF UNINSURED LOSSES
Unlike bank accounts or accounts at some other financial institutions, SQRB TOKENS are uninsured unless you seek private insurance to insure them. Thus, in the event of loss or loss of utility value, there is no public insurer, such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or private insurance arranged by us, to offer recourse to you.
7. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH UNCERTAIN REGULATIONS AND ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS
The regulatory status of SQRB TOKENS and distributed ledger technology needs to be clarified or more apparent in many jurisdictions. It is difficult to predict how or whether regulatory agencies may apply existing regulations concerning such technology and its applications. It is likewise difficult to predict how or whether legislatures or regulatory agencies may implement changes to law and regulation affecting distributed ledger technology and its applications, including the Platform and SQRB TOKENS. Regulatory actions could negatively impact the Platform and SQRB TOKENS in various ways, including, for purposes of illustration only, through a determination that the purchase, sale, delivery, or use of SQRB TOKENS constitutes unlawful activity, or that registration or licensing is required for SQRB TOKENS or some or all of the parties involved in the purchase, sale, delivery or use of SQRB TOKENS. The Company may cease operations in a jurisdiction if regulatory actions, or changes to law or regulation, make it illegal to operate in such jurisdiction or commercially undesirable to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals to work in such jurisdiction.
8. RISKS ARISING FROM TAXATION
The tax characterization of SQRB TOKENS is still being determined. Therefore, you must seek your tax advice concerning purchasing SQRB TOKENS, which may result in adverse consequences, including withholding taxes, income taxes, and tax reporting requirements.
9. RISK OF COMPETING PLATFORMS
Alternative platforms that utilize the same open-source code and protocol underlying the Platform could be established. The Platform may compete with these alternative platforms, which could negatively impact the adoption of the Platform and SQRB TOKENS, including SQRB TOKEN’ use for Token Utility.
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 cryptocurrencies and the Platform and Tokens, resulting in the theft or loss of Tokens.
11. RISK OF INSUFFICIENT INTEREST IN THE PLATFORM OR DISTRIBUTED APPLICATIONS
Many individuals will not use the Platform, or there will be limited public interest in SQRBIT Platform. Such a lack of use or interest could negatively impact the development of the Platform and the potential utility of SQRB TOKENS, including its use for Token Utility.
12. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PLATFORM
Although the Platform will be deployed and operational during the Token Sale, it is still subject to ongoing development and may undergo significant changes over time. How other participants will use the Platform is outside the Company’s control. This could create the risk that SQRB TOKENS or the Platform, as further developed and used, may need to meet your expectations when purchasing SQRB TOKENS. It is also possible that the Platform will experience malfunctions or otherwise fail to be adequately developed over time, which may negatively impact the Platform and the potential utility of SQRB TOKENS, including its use for Token Utility.
13. RISK OF AN UNFAVORABLE FLUCTUATION OF BNB, ETHER, BTC, AND OTHER CURRENCY VALUE
The Company team intends to use the proceeds from selling SQRB TOKENS to contribute to the ongoing development of the Platform and the Ecosystem, as described further in the White Paper. The proceeds of the Token Sale will be denominated in USDC, USDT, at the Company’s discretion, be converted into other cryptographic and fiat currencies. Suppose the value of Ether, BTC, or other currencies fluctuates unfavorably during or after the Token Sale. In that case, the Company team may not be able to contribute to the ongoing development of the Platform in the manner that it intended.
14. RISK OF DISSOLUTION OF THE COMPANY
It is possible that, due to any number of reasons, including, but not limited to, an unfavorable fluctuation in the value of Ether or BTC (or other cryptographic and fiat currencies), a decrease in SQRB TOKENS’ Utility (including its use for Token Utility), the failure of commercial relationships, or intellectual property ownership challenges, the Company may dissolve. The dissolution of the Company may still adversely impact the Platform and the utility of SQRB TOKENS, given the Company’s role in developing the Platform and its anticipated role in contributing to the ongoing development of the Platform.
15. RISKS ARISING FROM LACK OF GOVERNANCE RIGHTS IN THE COMPANY
Because SQRB TOKENS confer no governance rights of any kind concerning the Company, all decisions involving the Company will be made by the Company at its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, decisions to discontinue contributions to the Platform’s ongoing development or to sell or liquidate the Company. As noted above, the consequences of those decisions could adversely impact the Platform and the utility of SQRB TOKENS that you hold, including SQRB TOKEN’ use for Token Utility.
16. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH NEW AND EVOLVING LAWS IMPACTING DECENTRALIZED APPLICATION TECHNOLOGY
The distributed ledger and decentralized application ecosystem, and by extension the Platform, may be subject to a variety of federal, state, and international laws and regulations, including those concerning financial services, consumer privacy, data protection, consumer protection, content regulation, network neutrality, cyber security, intellectual property (including copyright, patent, trademark, and trade secret laws), and others. These laws and regulations, and the interpretation or application of these laws and regulations, could change. In addition, new laws or regulations affecting the Platform could be enacted, which could adversely impact the Company, the Platform, and SQRB TOKENS, including SQRB TOKENS’ use for Token Utility. Additionally, the users and developers of the Platform may be subject to industry-specific laws and regulations or licensing requirements. If any of these parties fail to comply with any of these licensing requirements or other applicable laws or regulations, or if such laws and regulations or licensing requirements become more stringent or are otherwise expanded, it could adversely impact the Platform and SQRB TOKENS, including SQRB TOKENS’ use for Token Utility.
17. OVER SPECIFIC RISKS RELATING TO THE VALUE & FUNCTION OF SQRB TOKENS
Launching new features on the Platform utilizing SQRB TOKENS may be delayed for reasons beyond the Company’s control and may prove unsuccessful. The Company may discontinue features, change, or for other reasons. The value of SQRB TOKENS will depend on the Token Utility, including its acceptance to access services and products on the Platform. The value may be affected by market conditions and other factors. Such changes may adversely affect the Utility and value of the tokens. No other platforms have indicated they intend to adopt SQRB TOKENS. The value of SQRB TOKENS will be affected by the demand for the SQRB Token relative to its supply. The Company intends to augment the supply by allowing participants to earn SQRB TOKENS through specific activities on the Platform and by selling or releasing additional SQRB TOKENS over time. The ability to convert SQRB TOKENS into other cryptocurrencies or fiat currencies will depend on developing a trading market for the SQRB Token. The Company has no obligation to promote or support trading of the SQRB TOKENS. No promises of future performance or value are or will be made concerning the SQRB TOKENS, including no promise of inherent value, no promise of continuing payments, and no guarantee that the SQRB TOKENS will hold any particular value.
18. UNANTICIPATED RISKS
Cryptographic tokens such as the SQRB TOKENS are a new and untested technology. In addition to the risks included in Exhibit D, other risks are associated with your purchase, holding, and use of the SQRB TOKENS, including those outlined in the White Paper and those that the Company cannot anticipate. Such risks may further materialize as unanticipated variations or combinations of the risks discussed in this Exhibit D.
19. THE SQRB TOKENS ARE SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS
The token sales / offerings are not available for residents of England, Canada, Singapore, Japan and Switzerland. The SQRB Tokens have not been registered under the Securities Act, the securities laws of any state, or any other jurisdiction. They, therefore, cannot be resold, except as described in the section entitled “Transfer Restrictions” in this Agreement. Persons who purchase Tokens will be required to maintain their Tokens for one year from the completion of the Token Sale. In addition, they will be required to undertake that they will not sell the Tokens to any other U.S. Persons (who are not accredited investors) for 12 months following the completion of the Token Sale. Non-U.S. Persons holding Tokens will only be permitted to resell or transfer their Tokens to other Non-U.S. Persons by Regulation S under the Securities Act. These restrictions may adversely impact your ability to resell the Tokens or the price you may be able to resell them. The Tokens are not redeemable at the holder’s option, and Token holders will not have the right to withdraw their capital. It is not contemplated that the Tokens will ever be registered under the Securities Act or any other securities laws. Each Token subscriber must represent that it is qualified under applicable securities laws and is acquiring the Tokens, not with a view to resale or distribution. Further, each Token holder must represent that it will only sell or transfer its Tokens by the restrictions outlined in the Agreement, including under the section captioned “Transfer Restrictions” of the Agreement, and in a manner permitted by applicable laws and regulations. Consequently, Token holders must be prepared to bear the risk of holding the Tokens for an extended period.
20. DEVELOPING REGULATORY REGIMES
Regulation of tokens (including the SQRB TOKENS) and token sales such as this, cryptocurrencies (including Binance), blockchain technologies, and cryptocurrency exchanges are currently undeveloped and likely to evolve rapidly and vary significantly among U.S. or non-US federal, state and local jurisdictions and are subject to significant uncertainty. In addition, various legislative and executive bodies in the United States, Singapore, China, South Korea, and other countries are considering, or may in the future, laws, regulations, guidance, or other actions that may severely impact your ability to use the Tokens. Failure by the Company, SQRBIT, or their representatives to comply with any laws, rules, and regulations, some of which may not exist yet or are subject to interpretation and may be subject to change, could result in a variety of material adverse consequences to the Company or SQRBIT, including civil penalties and fines.
21. TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The tax characterization of the Tokens is uncertain, and a subscriber should consult their tax advisor regarding the consequences of a purchase of the Tokens. An investment in the Tokens may result in adverse tax consequences to Purchasers, including withholding taxes, income taxes, and tax reporting requirements. Therefore, each potential Purchaser should consult with and rely upon the advice of their tax advisor concerning the United States and non-U.S. tax consequences of a purchase of the Tokens.
