25. NEF Token Disclaimer
The NEF token, as the native ERC-20 token of the Nefster platform, is designed and used for the purpose of enabling participation and governance within the Nefster ecosystem. It is intended to facilitate decentralized governance and community engagement in the development and decision-making processes of the Nefster platform.
Not a Security: The NEF token is not and shall not be considered a security or any form of investment product. Holders of the NEF token are not entitled to any profits, dividends, or revenue from Nefster or any associated entity. The acquisition and holding of NEF tokens are primarily for the purpose of engaging with and contributing to the Nefster platform through decentralized governance mechanisms and not for speculative investment.
Governance Utility: NEF tokens provide their holders with the ability to participate in the governance of the Nefster platform. This includes proposing, voting on, and implementing changes to the platform, as well as participating in other governance-related activities as detailed in the governance section of these Terms and on the Nefster platform.
The use of NEF tokens for governance is subject to the rules, procedures, and protocols established by Nefster, which may be updated from time to time. NEF token holders are responsible for staying informed about and complying with these governance procedures.
Assumption of Risk: By acquiring, holding, or using NEF tokens, you acknowledge and agree that there are risks associated with digital tokens, blockchain technology, and participation in decentralized governance. These risks may include, but are not limited to, market volatility, regulatory uncertainty, and technological challenges. You assume all such risks and agree that Nefster is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages related to the use or possession of NEF tokens.
Regulatory Compliance: Nefster is committed to complying with all applicable laws and regulations governing digital tokens and decentralized platforms. However, the legal and regulatory environment surrounding blockchain technologies and digital tokens is evolving, and changes in laws or regulations may impact the use, transfer, and value of NEF tokens.
Nefster reserves the right to make changes to the NEF token's intended use and governance mechanisms to remain compliant with applicable laws and regulations and to ensure the continued functionality and integrity of the Nefster platform.
By using the Nefster platform and holding NEF tokens, you represent and warrant that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, including this NEF Token Disclaimer, and that you are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
