Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

  • Certain statements in the 5IRE White Paper and this document constitute forward-looking statements. Except for statements of historical fact, information contained herein constitutes forward-looking statements, including (i) 5IRE’s ability to launch the 5IRE Platform with the capabilities described; (ii) the projected utility of the $5ire Token and its functionality on the 5IRE Platform, (iii) the completion of, and the use of proceeds from, the sale of these Tokens; (iv) the execution of the vision and growth strategy for 5IRE; (v) the adoption of $5ire Tokens by users and the overall success of services offered by 5IRE; (vi) the completion of 5IRE’s projects that are currently underway, in development or otherwise under consideration; and (vii) future liquidity, working capital, and capital requirements. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as “can,” “expect,” “will” and other identifiers of non-historical events. Forward-looking statements are provided to allow potential purchasers of $5irethe opportunity to understand management’s beliefs and opinions in respect of the future. 5IRE is an early-stage company and an investment in it, or its issued Tokens is inherently risky. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and undue reliance should not be placed on them. Although any forward-looking statements made are based upon what management believes are reasonable assumptions, they necessarily involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may cause actual performance and financial results in future periods to differ materially from any projections of future performance or results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. 5IRE undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by applicable laws.
  • Annexure I
  • Certain Risks Relating to Purchase, Sale and Use of $5ire Tokens
  • Important note: as noted elsewhere in this agreement, $5ire Token is not being structured or sold as securities or any other form of investment product. Accordingly, none of the information presented in this annexure is intended to form the basis for any investment decision, and no specific recommendations are made or intended. 5IRE expressly disclaims any and all responsibility for any direct or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever arising directly or indirectly from: (i) reliance on any information contained in this annexure ii, (ii) any error, omission or inaccuracy in any such information (iii) any action resulting from such information or (iv) the sale or use of $5ire Token.

    By purchasing, holding, and using $5ire Token, the Purchaser expressly acknowledges that it understands and assumes a variety of risks (including without limitation the following risks):
  • 1. Risk of changes in functionality
  • $5ire Token does not have any rights, uses, purpose, attributes, functionalities, or features, express or implied, except for those which are specifically described in the Token Documentation, and which may change from time to time.
  • 2. Risks Associated with the related Blockchain and underlying protocol
  • Because $5ire Token and the 5IRE platform are based on blockchain technology, any malfunction, breakdown or abandonment of the relevant blockchain may have a material adverse effect on the 5IRE platform or $5ire Token. Moreover, advances in cryptography, or technical advances such as the development of quantum computing, could present risks to $5ire Token and the 5IRE platform by rendering ineffective the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins the relevant blockchain. The future of cryptography and security innovations is highly unpredictable.

    Further, products or services available on the 5IRE platform may require digital assets provided by a user to be deposited with, "staked" with and/or otherwise require interaction with various third-party decentralised finance protocols which primarily comprise smart contracts deployed on the relevant blockchain. These third-party decentralised finance protocols and the development team behind these protocols are independent third parties, so 5IRE and its Related Entities have no control over these protocols or teams. These deployed smart contracts underlying the decentralised finance protocols may contain security vulnerabilities, errors, failures, bugs or economic loopholes which may be exploited by third parties, causing you to suffer losses in connection with any product(s) available on the 5IRE platform. Neither 5IRE nor any Group Entity can be responsible for any such security vulnerabilities, errors, failures, bugs, or economic loopholes.
  • 3. Risk of Losing Access to $5ire Token Due to Loss of Private Key(s)
  • A private key, or a combination of private keys, is necessary to control and dispose of $5ire Token stored in the Purchaser's digital wallet, vault, or other storage mechanism. Accordingly, loss of requisite private key(s) associated with the Purchaser's digital wallet, vault or other storage mechanism storing $5ire Token may result in loss of such $5ire Token. Moreover, any third party that gains access to such private key(s), including by gaining access to login credentials of a hosted wallet service used by the Purchaser, may be able to misappropriate any $5ire Token held by the Purchaser. The 5IRE cannot be responsible for any such losses.
  • 4. Risk of Blockchain Level Attacks
  • As with other decentralised cryptographic tokens based on blockchain technology, $5ire Token is susceptible to attacks by nodes or validators responsible for validating/confirming $5ire Token transactions on the relevant blockchain, including, but not limited, to double-spend attacks, majority mining power attacks, and selfish-mining attacks. Any successful attacks present a risk to the 5IRE platform and $5ire Token, including, but not limited to, accurate execution and recording of transactions involving $5ire Token.
  • 5. Risk of Hacking and Security Weaknesses
  • Hackers or other malicious groups or organisations may attempt to interfere with the 5IRE platform or $5ire Token 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, because the 5IRE platform is based on open-source software, there is a risk that a third party or a member of 5IRE may intentionally or unintentionally introduce weaknesses into the core infrastructure of the 5IRE platform, which could negatively affect the 5IRE platform and $5ire Token.
  • 6. Risk of Uninsured Losses
  • Unlike in the case of bank accounts or accounts at financial institutions, $5ire Token is uninsured unless the Purchaser specifically obtains private insurance to insure them. Thus, in the event of loss or loss of utility value, there is no public insurer or private insurance arranged by any 5IRE to provide recourse (and in any event, the 5IRE is not obliged to compensate or insure the Purchaser for any event of loss or loss of utility value).
  • 7. Risks Associated with Uncertain Regulations and Enforcement Actions
  • The regulatory status of $5ire Token and distributed ledger technology is unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions, but numerous regulatory authorities across jurisdictions have been outspoken about considering the implementation of regulatory regimes which govern digital asset markets. It is difficult to predict how or whether regulatory agencies may apply existing regulation with respect to such technology and its applications, including the 5IRE platform and $5ire Token. It is likewise difficult to predict how or whether legislatures or regulatory agencies may implement changes to law and regulation affecting distributed ledger technology and its applications, including the 5IRE platform and $5ire Token. Regulatory actions could negatively impact the 5IRE platform and $5ire Token in various ways, including, for purposes of illustration only, through a determination that $5ire Token is a regulated financial instrument that requires registration or licensing, the 5IRE platform may not be able to provide regular service in certain areas. 5IRE may cease operations in a jurisdiction, or even abandon certain features of the project, in the event that regulatory actions, or changes to applicable 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.
  • 8. Risks Arising from Taxation
  • The tax characterisation of $5ire Token and this SAFT is uncertain. The 5IRE intends to treat $5ire Token and this SAFT neither as an equity interest nor as a debt interest in the 5IRE for tax purposes. It is possible that the 5IRE’s intended treatment of $5ire Token and this Agreement may be challenged, so that the tax consequences to the Purchaser and the 5IRE relating to $5ire Token and this SAFT could differ from those described above. The Purchaser must seek its own tax advice in connection with purchasing, holding and utilising $5ire Token, which may result in adverse tax consequences to the Purchaser, including, without limitation, withholding taxes, transfer taxes, value added taxes, income taxes and similar taxes, levies, duties or other charges and tax reporting requirements.
  • 9. Risk of alternative networks / competitors
  • It is possible that alternative networks could be established in an attempt to facilitate services that are similar to the Services, or alternative networks could be established that utilise the same or similar code and protocol underlying $5ire Token and/or the 5IRE platform. The 5IRE platform may compete with these alternative networks, which could negatively impact the 5IRE platform and/or $5ire Token.
  • 10. Risk of Insufficient Interest in the 5IRE platform or Distributed Applications
  • It is possible that the 5IRE platform will not be used by a large number of individuals, companies and other entities or that there will be limited public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems (such as that on the 5IRE platform) more generally. Such lack of use or interest could negatively impact the development of the 5IRE platform and therefore the potential utility of $5ire Token.
  • 11. Risks Associated with the Development and Maintenance of the 5IRE platform
  • The 5IRE platform is still under development and may undergo significant changes over time. Although it is intended for $5ire Token and the 5IRE platform to follow the specifications set forth in Schedule 1, and the relevant Group Entity will endeavour to work towards those ends (subject to internal business considerations), changes may be required to be made to the specifications of $5ire Token or the 5IRE platform for any number of reasons. This could create the risk that $5ire Token or the 5IRE platform, as further developed and maintained, may not meet the Purchaser's expectations or requirements at the time of purchase. Furthermore, despite the 5IRE's good faith efforts to develop and maintain the 5IRE platform, it is still possible that the 5IRE platform will experience malfunctions or otherwise fail to be adequately developed or maintained, which may negatively impact the 5IRE platform and $5ire Token.
  • 12. Inadequate disclosure of information
  • As at the date hereof, the 5IRE platform 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 SAFT contains the most current information relating to the 5IRE platform, it is not absolutely complete and may still be adjusted and updated by the team from time to time. The team has no ability and obligation to keep holders of $5ire Tokens informed of every detail (including development progress and expected milestones) regarding the project to develop the 5IRE platform, hence insufficient information disclosure inevitable and reasonable.
  • 13. Risk of an Unfavourable Fluctuation of Currency Value
  • The 5IRE intends to use the proceeds from selling $5ire Token to support the maintenance and development of the 5IRE platform. The proceeds of the sale of $5ire Token will be mainly denominated in USDT, USDC and possibly other digital assets, and may be converted into other cryptographic and fiat currencies. In addition, sales of $5ire Token may also be denominated in fiat currencies. If the value of digital assets fluctuates unfavourably during or after the sale of $5ire Token, the relevant Group Entity may not be able to support development plans, or may not be able to maintain the 5IRE platform in the manner that it intended.
  • 14. Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure
  • The legal structure for the Group Entities (including the intra-Group arrangements) is bespoke and there is no generally accepted standard or structure for similar projects in the distributed ledger technology space. The legal structure had been designed to address certain specific legal risks, and attempt to decentralise the management and control, as well as economic risks and benefits relating to the 5IRE platform and $5ire Token; but there is no legal precedent for whether these structures are effective and it is difficult to predict the position that a regulator may adopt. The legal structure and contractual arrangements may not be effective in decentralising management and control, thereby adversely affecting the value of the 5IRE platform and/or $5ire Token.
  • 15. Risk of Dissolution of the 5IRE, any Group Entity or the 5IRE platform
  • Start-up companies such as the 5IRE involve a high degree of risk. Financial and operating risks confronting start-up companies are significant, and the 5IRE is not immune to these. Start-up companies often experience unexpected problems in the areas of product development, marketing, financing, and general management, among others, which frequently cannot be solved.

    It is possible that, due to any number of reasons, including, but not limited to, an unfavourable fluctuation in the value of cryptographic and fiat currencies, decrease in the utility of $5ire Token due to negative adoption of the 5IRE platform, the failure of commercial relationships, or intellectual property ownership challenges, the 5IRE platform may no longer be viable to operate and the 5IRE or any Group Entity may be dissolved.
  • 16. Risks Arising from Lack of Governance Rights
  • Because $5ire Token confers no governance rights of any kind with respect to the 5IRE or any Group Entity, all decisions involving the 5IRE or its Affiliates will be made by the relevant Group Entity at its sole and absolute discretion, including, but not limited to, decisions to discontinue the operations or development of the 5IRE platform, to create and sell more $5ire Token for use within the 5IRE platform, or to sell or liquidate any Group Entity. These decisions could adversely affect the 5IRE platform and $5ire Token held by the Purchaser.
  • 17. Risks Involving Cloud Storage
  • As the 5IRE platform may provide or utilise a decentralised cloud storage service for users and applications, therefore the Services are susceptible to a number of risks related to the storage of data in the cloud. The Services may involve the storage of large amounts of sensitive and/or proprietary information, which may be compromised in the event of a cyberattack or other malicious activity. Similarly, the Services may be interrupted and files may become temporarily unavailable in the event of such an attack or malicious activity. Because users can utilise a variety of hardware and software that may interface with the 5IRE platform, there is the risk that the Services may become unavailable or interrupted based on a failure of interoperability or an inability to integrate these third-party systems and devices that the Group Entities do not control. The risk that the Services may face increasing interruptions and the 5IRE platform may face additional security vulnerabilities could adversely affect the 5IRE platform and therefore the future utility of any $5ire Token held by the Purchaser.
  • 18. Forking
  • The 5IRE platform is a community project and certain elements are open-sourced. The 5IRE (nor any Group Entity) does not and cannot monopolise the development, marketing, operation or otherwise of the 5IRE platform and blockchain. Any entity may independently develop a patch or upgrade of the source code of the 5IRE platform and blockchain without prior authorisation of any other party, and launch the same by deployment on any blockchain network. The acceptance of these patches or upgrades by a sufficient (not necessarily overwhelming) percentage of $5ire Token holders could result in a "fork" in the network, and consequently two diverging networks will emerge and remain. Each branch arising from the fork will have its own native cryptographic tokens – accordingly there will be two different versions of the 5IRE platform and/or $5ire Token respectively residing in the two divergent branches with almost identical technical features and functions. The tokens on the diverging network will not be $5ire Token.

    Further, it is theoretically possible for each branch of the forked blockchain to be further forked an unlimited number of times. The temporary or permanent existence of forked blockchains could adversely affect the operation of the 5IRE platform and blockchain and the $5ire Token held by the Purchaser, and may ruin the sustainability of the 5IRE platform.
  • 19. Risks associated with a lack of markets for $5ire Token
  • There is no prior market for $5ire Token and the sale of $5ire Token may not result in an active or liquid market for $5ire Token. $5ire Token is designed to be utilised solely within the 5IRE platform, hence there may be illiquidity risk with respect to $5ire Token held by the Purchaser. $5ire Token is not a currency issued by any central bank or national, supra-national or quasi-national organisation, nor is it backed by any hard assets or other credit nor is it a "commodity" in the usual and traditional sense of that word. The 5IRE is not responsible for, nor does the 5IRE pursue, the circulation and trading of $5ire Token on any market. Trading of $5ire Token will merely depend on the consensus on its value between the relevant market participants. No one is obliged to purchase any $5ire Token from any holder of $5ire Token, nor does anyone guarantee the liquidity or market price of $5ire Token to any extent at any time. Furthermore, $5ire Token may not be resold to a purchaser who is a citizen, national, resident (tax or otherwise), domiciliary or green card holder of a Restricted Territory or to purchasers where the purchase of $5ire Token may be in violation of applicable laws. Accordingly, the 5IRE cannot ensure that there will be any demand or market for $5ire Token, or that the Purchase Amount paid for $5ire Token is indicative of any market valuation or market price for $5ire Token.
    ‍
    Even if secondary trading of $5ire Token is facilitated by third party exchanges, such exchanges may be relatively new and subject to little or no regulatory oversight, making them more susceptible to fraud or manipulation. Furthermore, to the extent that third parties do ascribe an external exchange value to $5ire Token (e.g., as denominated in a digital or fiat currency), such value may be extremely volatile, decline below the Purchase Price which the Purchaser had paid for $5ire Token, and/or diminish to zero.
  • 20. Inflation
  • Due to the nature and operation of blockchain protocols, the total amount of circulating $5ire Token could increase through the adoption of a new patch or upgrade of the source code. Any inflation in the quantity of $5ire Token could adversely affect the market price of $5ire Token, and consequently Purchasers may suffer economic losses. Neither the 5IRE nor any Group Entity provides any guarantee that a Purchaser would be compensated (in any manner) for such inflation.
  • 21. Loss of Talent
  • The development of the 5IRE platform depends on the continued cooperation 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 the 5IRE platform or its future development. Further, stability and cohesion within the team is critical to the overall development of the 5IRE platform. 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.
  • 22.  Failure to develop
  • The 5IRE platform is still in the developmental stage, hence there may be large changes to the final design before the official version is released. There is the risk that the development of the 5IRE platform will not be executed or implemented as planned, or may not meet any expectation of purchasers of $5ire Token, for a variety of reasons, including without limitation the event of a decline in the prices of any digital asset, virtual currency or $5ire Token, unforeseen technical difficulties, and shortage of development funds for activities.
  • 23. Unanticipated Risks
  • Cryptographic tokens such as $5ire Token are a new and untested technology. In addition to the aforementioned risks, there may be other risks associated with the Purchaser's purchase, holding and use of $5ire Token, including those that the 5IRE cannot anticipate. Such risks may further materialise as unanticipated variations or combinations of the risks discussed in this Annexure I.
