Legal and Compliance
RISKS
MagicCraft is currently in the initial development stages and there are a variety of unforeseeable risks. You acknowledge and agree that there are numerous risks associated with acquiring $MCRT, holding $MCRT, and using $MCRT for participation in MagicCraft. In the worst scenario, this could lead to the loss of all or part of $MCRT held.
IF YOU DECIDE TO ACQUIRE $MCRT OR PARTICIPATE IN MAGICCRAFT, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE, ACCEPT AND ASSUME THE FOLLOWING RISKS:
■ Uncertain Regulations and Enforcement Actions: The regulatory status of MagicCraft, $MCRT and distributed ledger technology is unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions. The regulation of digital assets has become a primary target of regulation in all major countries in the world. It is impossible to predict how, when or whether regulatory agencies may apply existing regulations or create new regulations with respect to such technology and its applications, including $MCRT and/or MagicCraft. Regulatory actions could negatively impact $MCRT and/or MagicCraft in various ways. The Company, the Distributor (or their respective affiliates) may cease operations in a jurisdiction in the event that regulatory actions, or changes to law or regulation, make it illegal to operate in such jurisdiction, or commercially undesirable to obtain the necessary regulatory approval(s) to operate in such jurisdiction. After consulting with a wide range of legal advisors to mitigate the legal risks as much as possible, the Company and Distributor have worked with the specialist blockchain department at Jacque Law LLC and obtained a legal opinion on the token distribution, and will be conducting business in accordance with the prevailing market practice.
■ Inadequate disclosure of information: As at the date hereof, MagicCraft is still under development and its design concepts, consensus mechanisms, algorithms, codes, and other technical details and parameters may be constantly and frequently updated and changed. Although this material contains the most current information relating to MagicCraft, it is not absolutely complete and may still be adjusted and updated by the MagicCraft team from time to time. The MagicCraft team has neither the ability nor obligation to keep holders of $MCRT informed of every detail (including development progress and expected milestones) regarding the project to develop MagicCraft, hence insufficient information disclosure is inevitable and reasonable.
■ Competitors: Various types of decentralised applications, games and networks are emerging at a rapid rate, and the industry is increasingly competitive. It is possible that alternative networks could be established that utilise the same or similar code and protocol underlying $MCRT and/or MagicCraft and attempt to re-create similar facilities. MagicCraft may be required to compete with these alternative networks, which could negatively impact $MCRT and/or MagicCraft.
■ Loss of Talent: The development of MagicCraft greatly depends on the continued co-operation of the existing technical team and expert consultants, who are highly knowledgeable and experienced in their respective sectors. The loss of any member may adversely affect MagicCraft or its future development. Further, stability and cohesion within the team is critical to the overall development of MagicCraft. There is the possibility that conflict within the team and/or departure of core personnel may occur, resulting in negative influence on the project in the future.
■ Failure to develop: There is the risk that the development of MagicCraft will not be executed or implemented as planned, for a variety of reasons, including without limitation the event of a decline in the prices of any digital asset, virtual currency or $MCRT, unforeseen technical difficulties, and shortage of development funds for activities.
■ Security weaknesses: Hackers or other malicious groups or organisations may attempt to interfere with $MCRT and/or MagicCraft in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks, smurfing and spoofing. Furthermore, there is a risk that a third party or a member of the Company, the Distributor or their respective affiliates may intentionally or unintentionally introduce weaknesses into the core infrastructure of $MCRT and/or MagicCraft, which could negatively affect $MCRT and/or MagicCraft. Further, the future of cryptography and security innovations are highly unpredictable and advances in cryptography, or technical advances (including without limitation development of quantum computing), could present unknown risks to $MCRT and/or MagicCraft by rendering ineffective the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins that blockchain protocol.
■ Other risks: In addition, the potential risks briefly mentioned above are not exhaustive and there are other risks (as more particularly set out in the Terms and Conditions) associated with your participation in MagicCraft, as well as acquisition of, holding and use of $MCRT, including those that the Company or the Distributor cannot anticipate. Such risks may further materialise as unanticipated variations or combinations of the aforementioned risks. You should conduct full due diligence on the Company, the Distributor, their respective affiliates, and the MagicCraft team, as well as understand the overall framework, mission and vision for MagicCraft prior to participating in the same and/or acquiring $MCRT.

The Company, the Distributor and the MagicCraft team do not and do not purport to make, and hereby disclaims, all representations, warranties or undertaking to any entity or person (including without limitation warranties as to the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of the contents of the Token Documentation or the Website, or any other materials published by the Company or the Distributor). To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, the Distributor, their respective affiliates and service providers shall not be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential or other losses of any kind, in tort, contract or otherwise (including, without limitation, any liability arising from default or negligence on the part of any of them, or any loss of revenue, income or profits, and loss of use or data) arising from the use of the Token Documentation or the Website, or any other materials published, or its contents (including without limitation any errors or omissions) or otherwise arising in connection with the same. Prospective acquirors of $MCRT should carefully consider and evaluate all risks and uncertainties (including financial and legal risks and uncertainties) associated with the distribution of $MCRT, the Company, the Distributor and the MagicCraft team.
$MCRT Token: $MCRT are designed to be utilised, and that is the goal of the $MCRT distribution. In particular, it is highlighted that $MCRT:
does not have any tangible or physical manifestation, and does not have any intrinsic value (nor does any person make any representation or give any commitment as to its value);
is non-refundable and cannot be exchanged for cash (or its equivalent value in any other digital asset) or any payment obligation by the Company, the Distributor or any of their respective affiliates;
does not represent or confer on the token holder any right of any form with respect to the Company, the Distributor (or any of their respective affiliates), or its revenues or assets, including without limitation any right to receive future dividends, revenue, shares, ownership right or stake, share or security, any voting, distribution, redemption, liquidation, proprietary (including all forms of intellectual property or licence rights), right to receive accounts, financial statements or other financial data, the right to requisition or participate in shareholder meetings, the right to nominate a director, or other financial or legal rights or equivalent rights, or intellectual property rights or any other form of participation in or relating to MagicCraft, the Company, the Distributor and/or their service providers;
is not intended to represent any rights under a contract for differences or under any other contract the purpose or pretended purpose of which is to secure a profit or avoid a loss;
is not intended to be a representation of money (including electronic money), security, commodity, bond, debt instrument, unit in a collective investment scheme or any other kind of financial instrument or investment;

Notwithstanding the $MCRT distribution, users have no economic or legal right over or beneficial interest in the assets of the Company, the Distributor, or any of their affiliates after the token distribution.
To the extent a secondary market or exchange for trading $MCRT does develop, it would be run and operated wholly independently of the Company, the Distributor, the distribution of $MCRT and MagicCraft. Neither the Company nor the Distributor will create such secondary markets nor will either entity act as an exchange for $MCRT.
