1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Terms: These Airdrop Terms and Conditions govern the participation in and receipt of tokens through the airdrop program ("Airdrop") organized byStakeStone, a company incorporated in British Vigin Islands,  and its subsidiaries ("we," "us," or "our"). The Airdrop, and your participation in it, is a Service as defined under the general Terms of Service.

1.2 Agreement: By participating in the Airdrop, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. These Terms govern your ability to participate in the Airdrop. Please read these Terms carefully, as they include important information about your legal rights. By participating in the Airdrop, you are agreeing to these Terms. If you do not understand or agree to these Terms, please do not participate in the Airdrop.

1.3 Transitive Agreement: If you are participating in the Airdrop on behalf of an entity or other organization, you are agreeing to these Terms for that entity or organization and representing to us that you have the authority to bind that entity or organization to these Terms (and, in which case, the terms "you" and "your" will refer to that entity or organization).

1.4 Term Modification: We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change or modify any portion of these Terms at any time. If we do this, we will publicly post the updated Terms on our website and will indicate at the top of this page the date these Terms were last updated. Your continued use of our Services from and after the date any such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. If you do not agree to abide by these or any future Terms, you will not access, browse, or use (or continue to access, browse, or use) our Airdrop website or Services. Without limiting anything set forth elsewhere in these Terms, you agree that we shall not be liable to you or any third party as a result of any losses suffered by any modification or amendment of this Agreement.

2. ELIGIBILITY

2.1 Sole Discretion: We, in our sole discretion, shall determine the eligibility criteria for participation in the Airdrop, including the amount of Tokens to be distributed to eligible Participants that satisfy certain criteria. Different eligible Participants may receive different amounts of Tokens in any particular Airdrop, depending on the criteria set forth by us for such Airdrop ("Airdrop Tokens"). We shall have no obligation to notify actual or potential Airdrop participants of the eligibility criteria for any Airdrop prior to, during, or after the claims are opened for such Airdrop.

2.2 Disqualification: We reserve the sole and absolute right to disqualify any participant or potential participant we deem ineligible for an Airdrop (be it under these Terms or by having determined the participant engaged in any conduct that we consider harmful, unlawful, inappropriate, or unacceptable). Such disqualification may be appropriate if we determine, in our sole discretion, for example, that the participant may have used multiple addresses to obscure its identity or location or to attempt to game, cheat, or hack the Airdrop or Tokens.

2.3 Age Requirement: You must have full legal capacity and authority to bind and agree to the Terms. You must be at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence (or have reached the age of legal capacity) to participate.

2.4 Jurisdictional Restrictions: You are solely responsible for understanding and complying with any and all laws and regulations applicable to your participation in the Airdrop in your jurisdiction. You agree and acknowledge that you are responsible for complying with all applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which you reside or in which you are participating in the Airdrop. You agree and acknowledge that we reserve the right to require additional information from you and to enter, use, or share such information into or with a Screening Service Provider (defined below), and its systems, tools, or functionalities, as we deem appropriate in our sole discretion, including to reduce the risks of money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions violations, or other potentially illicit activity, or as otherwise necessary to address laws and regulations that may be relevant to the Airdrop or the Tokens. You agree to provide complete and accurate information in response to any such requests.

2.5 Residency Restrictions: As set forth below, certain jurisdictions may prohibit or otherwise restrict participation in airdrops. You represent and warrant that you are not located in or a resident of any jurisdiction in which participation is restricted.

2.6 High Risk Wallet Restrictions: We have implemented a risk-based program applicable to the Airdrop. This program screens wallets attempting to participate in the Airdrop using data and tools provided by an independent blockchain analytics provider ("Screening Service Provider") and applying screening criteria that may extend beyond the requirements of applicable law. Participants also are subject to geo-location and proxy detection controls to prevent access to our website by users that may be Prohibited Persons or located in a Prohibited Jurisdiction (as defined herein). We reserve the right to take any additional steps as we deem necessary or appropriate, in our sole discretion, to verify the identity and eligibility of any person. We may deny, in our sole discretion, any person, internet-protocol address ("IP Address"), and/or blockchain address ("Airdrop Address") from participating in the Airdrop based on data from our Screening Service Provider when such data indicates such person, IP Address, or Airdrop Address may present heightened risks based on our risk assessment framework.

2.7 Agreement to Restrictions: By using the Services and participating in any Airdrop, you agree and acknowledge that your Airdrop Address will be screened and excluded from the Airdrop program, at our sole discretion, if we detect threshold transactions between your Airdrop Address and another blockchain address associated with certain risk-exposure categories established by our Screening Service Provider. You agree and acknowledge that your IP Address will be screened and excluded if our geo-location controls detect that you may be located in a (a) Sanctioned Jurisdiction; (b) jurisdiction subject to heightened sanctions risks identified or enforced by certain countries, governments, or international authorities; or (c) jurisdiction otherwise considered high risk with respect to the Airdrop or otherwise (collectively, "Prohibited Jurisdictions").

For clarity, Prohibited Jurisdictions include but are not limited to: Albania, Afghanistan, Canada, China, Cuba, Iran, Kosovo, Myanmar, North Korea, Russia, Singapore, Syria, Tajikistan, United States, Ukraine,  and any other jurisdiction in which the Airdrop is prohibited or restricted.

You agree and understand that the Prohibited Jurisdictions are subject to change at our sole discretion without notice.

3. PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Registration: You may be required to sign up using valid identifying information (e.g., email address, wallet address) and follow instructions we provide to participate in the Airdrop.

3.2 Wallet Compatibility: You must provide a compatible digital wallet address capable of receiving the Tokens (a "Wallet"). We are not responsible for lost or misdirected Tokens due to provision of an incorrect wallet address and failure to provide and connect an eligible Wallet may result in the forfeiture of Tokens. Note, there may be technical limitations, delays, and/or transaction fees due or payable to third parties to receive and/or claim Tokens through your Wallet.

3.3 Wallet Ownership: You agree that you are the legal owner of the Wallet you identify to participate in the Airdrop and the Services and will not sell, assign, or transfer control of such address or the Tokens to third parties to circumvent any Lock-Up (as defined herein) or to knowingly redistribute Tokens to a person that would violate these Terms if claimed directly by such person.

3.4 Wallet Disclaimers: YOU AGREE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE AIRDROP IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. By using a Wallet, you agree that you are using the Wallet in accordance with any terms and conditions of the applicable third-party provider of such Wallets. When you interact with the Airdrop you retain control over your digital assets at all times. We do not control digital assets, including the Tokens in your wallet, and we accept no responsibility or liability to you in connection with your use of a Wallet. We make no representations or warranties regarding how the Airdrop will operate with, or be compatible with, any specific Wallet. The private keys necessary to access and/or transfer the digital assets held in a Wallet are not known or held by us. Any third party that may gain access to a participant's login credentials, private key, or third-party cloud or storage mechanism for such information may be able to misappropriate Tokens and/or other digital assets held by the participant. We have no ability to help you access or recover your private key and/or seed phrase for your wallet. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your private key, and solely you are responsible for any transaction signed with your private key. We are not responsible for any loss associated with your private key, digital wallet, vault, or other storage mechanism. You agree and acknowledge that claiming the Airdrop may require interaction with, reliance on, or an integration with third-party products or services (e.g., a wallet, network, or blockchain) that we do not control. In the event that you are unable to access such products, services, or integrations, or if they fail for any reason, and you are unable to participate in the Airdrop or claim Tokens as a result, you will have no recourse or claim against us, and we do not bear any responsibility or liability to you. You agree and acknowledge that if you are unable to claim the Airdrop due to technical bugs, smart contract issues, gas fees, wallet incompatibilities, loss of access to a wallet or the key thereto, or for any other reason, you will have no recourse or claim against us and, in any such case, we shall bear no liability.

3.5 Agreement to Lock-Up: Airdrop Tokens may be subject to a period of transfer restrictions (the "Lock-Up"), which may be enforced programmatically. You agree to abide by the Lock-Up and further agree that we may modify or extend the Lock-Up in our sole and absolute discretion.

4. DISTRIBUTION OF TOKENS

4.1 Timing: We will distribute Tokens to participants who meet all eligibility and participation requirements at our discretion.

4.2 Token Allocation: The number of Tokens you receive through the Airdrop may be limited or subject to change at our discretion. We reserve the right to modify or terminate the Airdrop at any time without prior notice.

11. RISKS OF PARTICIPATION

Claiming, using, transacting in, or holding STO involves a high degree of risk, including unforeseen risks that may not be included below. You should consult with your legal, tax, and financial advisors and carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in these Airdrop Terms, before deciding whether to claim, use, transact in, or hold the Tokens. If any of the following risks were to occur, the Token orStakeStone could be materially and adversely affected. You acknowledge that we are not responsible for any risks associated with your participation in the Airdrop or use of the Services, and cannot be held liable for any resulting losses that you experience thereby.

11.1 Risks inherent to blockchain based systems: You understand the inherent risks associated with using cryptographic and blockchain-based systems, and that you have a working knowledge of the usage and intricacies of digital assets. You further understand that the markets for digital assets are highly volatile due to various factors, including adoption, speculation, technology, security, and regulation. You acknowledge and accept that the cost and speed of transacting with cryptographic and blockchain-based systems are variable and may increase dramatically at any time. You further acknowledge and accept the risk that your digital assets may lose some or all of their value.

11.2 Risks of Scams and frauds: You understand that anyone can create a token, including fake versions of existing tokens and tokens that falsely claim to represent projects, and acknowledge and accept the risk that you may mistakenly trade those or other tokens. You further acknowledge that we are not responsible for any of these variables or risks, and cannot be held liable for any resulting losses that you experience while accessing or using the service. Accordingly, you understand and agree to assume full responsibility for all of the risks of accessing and using the Services. The only website for registering and participating in StakeStone's STO Airdrop isairdrop.stakestone.io. All other websites are fraudulent and we are not responsible for any consequences of engaging with such websites.

11.3 Tax and Regulatory Risks: Without limiting the foregoing, you understand that there may be tax and regulatory risks related to participating in the Airdrop. It is your sole responsibility to determine whether, and to what extent, any taxes apply to any transactions you conduct in connection with your participation, and to withhold, collect, report, and remit the correct amounts of taxes to the appropriate tax authorities. Digital assets, blockchain technology, and any related software and services are also subject to legal and regulatory uncertainty. You understand that legislative and regulatory changes or actions may adversely affect the usage, transferability, transactability, and accessibility of digital assets, bridging, the protocol, or other parts of the Service. To the extent licenses, permits, or other authorizations are required in one or more jurisdictions in whichStakeStone is deemed to operate, there is no guarantee thatStakeStone or another party will be able to secure such licenses, permits, or authorizations in order to operate. Significant changes may need to be made to StakeStoneto comply with any licensing and/or registration requirements (or any other legal or regulatory requirements) in order to avoid violating applicable laws or regulations or because of the cost of such compliance. Uncertainty in how the legal and regulatory environment will develop could negatively impact the development, growth, and utilization of StakeStone and therefore the uses of Tokens.

11.4 Cyberattacks and Security Breaches: You understand that cyberattacks and security breaches of the StakeStone protocol, or the smart contracts controlling the Airdrop, or any front-end user interface or application related to or impacting the StakeStone protocol, can occur and could cause you to lose Tokens, or adversely impact StakeStone or Tokens.

11.5 Utilization Risks: The Airdrop Tokens are designed to be utilized in StakeStone. There can be no assurance that the Tokens will function as intended or as described on any website or in other communications or will be maintained and further developed according to current plans.

11.6 Lack of Market: There is no public market for the Tokens, and we do not control the development of such a market. A public market may not develop or be sustainable, and you may not be able to sell your Tokens. Furthermore, we cannot control how Token holders or third-party exchanges or platforms may support Tokens, if at all. Even if a public market for Tokens develops, such a market may be relatively new and subject to little or no regulatory oversight, making it more susceptible to fraud or manipulation. Further, the transfer restrictions on Tokens will remain in place for a significant period of time. Even if a public market does eventually exist, you may not be able to freely sell or transfer your Tokens. If you can freely sell your tokens in a public market after some period of time, the depth and volume in that market may be insufficient for you to sell without substantial price concessions.

12. PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION

12.1 We may collect, use, and store limited personal information as necessary for verifying eligibility and distributing Tokens. We will handle all personal data in accordance with applicable privacy laws and our Privacy Policy.

12.2 By participating in the Airdrop, you consent to the collection and use of your data as described in these Terms.

13. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect.

13.3 Filing Deadline: You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of our Services or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

14. MISCELLANEOUS

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

14.4 Official Website: There is only one official website for the Airdrop, which is located at airdrop.stakestone.io. All other websites purporting to be associated with the Airdrop are fraudulent. We are not responsible for any consequences of your engagement with such fraudulent websites.
