Externally, the CNDY token will play a governance role in the development of the game Sugarverse.
"gCNDY” is the in-game points and is used for gaming purposes.
“Ownership” means players are able to transact with their CNDY tokens using their private keys.
“Smart Contracts” means the computer code executed in response to transactions published on the blockchain network that generates a consistent and verifiable result.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company is not making, and hereby disclaims, any and all information, statements, omissions, representations and warranties, expressed or implied, written or oral, equitable, legal or statutory, in connection with the Offerings and the other matters contemplated by these Terms, including any representations or warranties of title, non-infringement, merchantability, usage, security, uptime, reliability, suitability or fitness for any particular purpose, workmanship or technical quality of any code or software used in or relating to the Offerings. The User acknowledges and agrees that use of the Offerings is at the User’s own risk.
Volatility risks
The prices of blockchain assets are extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of your CNDY token or other items, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. We cannot guarantee that any purchasers of CNDY tokens or other items will not lose money. You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your CNDY-related transactions. Sugarverse is not responsible for determining the taxes that apply to your transactions in the Metaverse and Games, the Site, or any blockchain. The Metaverse and Games do not store, send, or receive CNDY tokens. This is because CNDY tokens exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on the Metaverse and Games supporting blockchain. Any transfer of CNDY token occurs within the supporting blockchain network, and not on the Metaverse and Games. There are risks associated with using an Internet-based currency, including, but not limited to, the risk of hardware, software and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information stored within your wallet. You accept and acknowledge that Sugarverse will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using the blockchain network, however caused. A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development of the Sugarverse ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of the CNDY token. The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the Sugarverse ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of CNDY token. Indemnification You agree to hold harmless and indemnify Sugarverse and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, employees, advertisers, licensors, suppliers or partners from and against any claim, liability, loss, damage (actual and consequential) of any kind or nature, suit, judgment, litigation cost, and attorneys’ fees arising out of or in any way related to (i) your breach of these Terms, (ii) your misuse of the Metaverse and Games, (iii) your violation of applicable laws, rules or regulations in connection with your access to or use of the Metaverse and Games, or (iv) your breach of our Privacy Policy. You agree that Sugarverse will have control of the defense or settlement of any such claims.
No Professional Advice or Liability.
All information provided by or on behalf of the Company is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as professional, accounting or legal advice. Users should not take or refrain from taking any action in reliance on any information contained in these Terms or provided by or on behalf of the Company. Before Users make any financial, legal or other decisions involving the Offerings, Users should seek independent professional advice from persons licensed and qualified in the area for which such advice would be appropriate.
Limited Survival Period for Claims.
Any claim or cause of action a User may have or acquire in connection with the Offerings or any of the other matters contemplated by these Terms shall survive for the duration of, and may be brought against, the Company solely prior to:
(a)the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable thereto; and
(b)the date that is six months after the date on which the facts and circumstances giving rise to such a claim or cause of action first arose.
Third-Party Offerings and Content.
References, links or referrals to or connections with or reliance on third-party resources, products, services or content, including smart contracts developed or operated by third parties, may be provided to Users in connection with the Offerings. In addition, third parties may offer promotions related to the Offerings. The Company does not endorse or assume any responsibility for any activities of or resources, products, services, content or promotions owned, controlled, operated or sponsored by third parties. If Users access any such resources, products, services or content or participate in any such promotions, Users do so solely at their own risk. Each User hereby expressly waives and releases the Company from all liability arising from Users’ use of any such resources, products, services or content or participation in any such promotions. The User further acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any such resources, products, services, content or promotions from third parties.Certain Uses and Risks of Blockchain Technology.
(a)
Use of Blockchain Technology. The Company utilizes experimental cryptographic technologies and blockchain technologies, including tokens, cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, “smart contracts,” consensus algorithms, voting systems and distributed, decentralized or peer-to-peer networks or systems in performing the Offerings. Each User acknowledges and agrees that such technologies are novel, experimental and speculative, and that therefore there is significant uncertainty regarding the operation and effects and risks thereof and the application of existing law thereto.
(b)
Cryptography Risks. Cryptography is a progressing field. Advances in code cracking or technical advances such as the development of quantum computers may present risks to blockchains, the Platform, NFTs, including the theft, loss or inaccessibility thereof.
(c)
Fork Handling. Blockcahins, the NFTs, the Collectibles and NFTS may be subject to “forks.” Forks occur when some or all persons running the software clients for a particular blockchain system adopt a new client or a new version of an existing client that:
1) changes the protocol rules in a backwards-compatible or backwards-incompatible manner that affects which transactions can be added into later blocks, how later blocks are added to the blockchain or other matters relating to the future operation of the protocol; or
2) reorganizes or changes past blocks to alter the history of the blockchain. Some forks are “contentious” and thus may result in two or more persistent alternative versions of the protocol or blockchain, either of which may be viewed as or claimed to be the legitimate or genuine continuation of the original. The Company may not be able to anticipate, control or influence the occurrence or outcome of forks and does not assume any risk, liability or obligation in connection therewith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company does not assume any responsibility to notify a User of pending, threatened or completed forks. The Company will respond to any forks as the Company determines at its sole and absolute discretion and the Company shall not have any duty or obligation or liability to a User if such a response (or lack of such response) acts to a User’s detriment.
Legal Limitations on Disclaimers.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of certain liabilities and damages. Accordingly, some of the disclaimers and limitations set forth in these Terms may not apply in full to specific Users. The disclaimers and limitations of liability provided in these Terms shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
Officers, Directors, etc.
All provisions of these Terms which disclaim or limit obligations or liabilities of the Company shall also apply, mutatis mutandis, to the officers, directors, members, employees, independent contractors, agents, stockholders, debtholders and affiliates of the Company.
Indemnification.
Each User shall defend, indemnify, compensate, reimburse and hold harmless the Company (and each of its officers, directors, members, employees, agents and affiliates) from any claim, demand, action, damage, loss, cost or expense, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out or relating to (a) the User’s use of, or conduct in connection with, the Offerings; (b) the User’s violation of these Terms or any other applicable policy or contract of the Company; or (c) violation of any rights of any other person or entity.
