Informational purposes only: The information set out herein is only conceptual and describes the future development goals for $RING Team and the Team. In particular, the project roadmap in the Whitepaper is being shared in order to outline some of the plans of the $RING team and is provided solely for INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES and does not constitute any binding commitment. Please do not rely on this information in deciding whether to participate in the token distribution because ultimately, the development, release, and timing of any products, features or functionality remains at the sole discretion of the Team, a distributor, or their respective affiliates, and is subject to change. Further, the Whitepaper or the Website may be amended or replaced from time to time. There are no obligations to update the Whitepaper or the Website, or to provide recipients with access to any information beyond what is provided herein.

Regulatory approval: No regulatory authority has examined or approved, whether formally or informally, any of the information set out in the Whitepaper or the Website. No such action or assurance has been or will be taken under the laws, regulatory requirements, or rules of any jurisdiction. The publication, distribution or dissemination of the Whitepaper or the Website does not imply that the applicable laws, regulatory requirements or rules have been complied with.

Cautionary Note on forward-looking statements: All statements contained herein, statements made in press releases and/or social media posts or in any place accessible by the public and oral statements that may be made by the Team, a distributor and/or the $RING team, may constitute forward-looking statements (including statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations with respect to market conditions, business strategy and plans, financial condition, specific provisions and risk management practices). You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements given that these statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual future results to be materially different from that described by such forward-looking statements, and no independent third party has reviewed the reasonableness of any such statements or assumptions, unless explicitly stated by the Team and the $RING Team. These forward-looking statements are applicable only as of the date indicated in the Whitepaper, and the Team, a distributor as well as the $RING team expressly disclaim any responsibility (whether express or implied) to release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events after such date.

RISK WARNING

$RING Token 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 $RING, holding $RING, and using $RING. In the worst scenario, this could lead to the loss of all or part of $RING held. IF YOU DECIDE TO ACQUIRE $RING, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE, ACCEPT AND ASSUME THE FOLLOWING RISKS:

Uncertain Regulations and Enforcement Actions: The regulatory status of $RING 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 $RING. Regulatory actions could negatively impact $RING in various ways. The Team, a 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 Team and Distributor have worked with contracted law firms 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, $RING 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 whitepaper contains the most current information relating to $RING, it is not absolutely complete and may still be adjusted and updated by the $RING team from time to time. The $RING team has neither the ability nor obligation to keep holders of $RING informed of every detail (including development progress and expected milestones) regarding the Project, hence insufficient information disclosure is inevitable and reasonable.

• Failure to develop: There is the risk that the development of $RING and the Project 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 $RING, unforeseen technical difficulties, and shortage of development funds for activities.

• Security weaknesses: Hackers or other malicious groups or organisations may attempt to interfere with $RING 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 Team, a distributor or their respective affiliates may intentionally or unintentionally introduce weaknesses into the core infrastructure of $RING, which could negatively affect $RING. 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 $RING 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 the Project, as well as acquisition of, holding and use of $RING, including those that the Team or a 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 Team, a distributor, their respective affiliates, and the $RING team, as well as understand the overall framework, mission and vision for the Project prior to participating in the same and/or acquiring $RING.
