In\naddition, arbitration precludes you from suing in court or having a jury trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You and the Paralism Foundation agree that\nany dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services is\npersonal to you and the Paralism Foundation and that any dispute will be\nresolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought as a class\narbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Except for small claims disputes in which\nyou or the Paralism Foundation seeks to bring an individual action in small\nclaims court located in the county or other applicable jurisdiction where you\nreside or disputes in which you or the Paralism Foundation seeks injunctive or\nother equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property,\nyou and the Paralism Foundation waive your rights to a jury trial and to have\nany dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services resolved\nin court. Instead, for any dispute or claim that you have against the Paralism\nFoundation or relating in any way to the Services, you agree to first contact\nthe Paralism Foundation and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending\na written notice of your claim (\u201cNotice\u201d) to the Paralism Foundation by email\nat<strong> support@paralism.org<\/strong>.\nThe Notice must include your name, residence address, email address, and\ntelephone number, describe the nature and basis of the claim and set forth the\nspecific relief sought.

Such a lack of interest\ncould impact the development of the Paralism Network and potential uses of Para\nTokens. The Paralism Foundation cannot predict the success of its own\ndevelopment efforts or the efforts of other third parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Risk that the Site and Services, as\nDeveloped, Will Not Meet the Expectations of User: You recognize that the Site,\nServices and the Paralism Network are under development and may undergo\nsignificant changes over time. You acknowledge that any expectations regarding\nthe form and functionality of the Paralism Network held by you may not be met\nfor any number of reasons including a change in the design and implementation\nplans, specifications and execution of the implementation of the Site, Services\nor the Paralism Network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Risk of Weaknesses or Exploitable\nBreakthroughs in the Field of Cryptography: Cryptography is an art, not a\nscience. And the state of the art can advance over time. Advances in code\ncracking, or technical advances such as the development of quantum computers,\ncould present risks to cryptocurrencies and the Site, Services and the Paralism\nNetwork which could result in the theft or loss of Para Tokens. To the extent\nwithin its control and otherwise possible, the Paralism Foundation intends to\nupdate the protocol underlying the Services and the Paralism Network to account\nfor any advances in cryptography and to incorporate additional security\nmeasures, but it cannot predict the future of cryptography or guarantee that\nany security updates will be made in a timely or successful manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Risk of Rapid Adoption and Insufficiency of\nComputational Application Processing Power of the Services and the Paralism\nNetwork: If the Services and\/or the Paralism Network are rapidly adopted, the\ndemand for transaction processing and distributed application computations\ncould rise dramatically and at a pace that exceeds the rate with which Paralism\nservices can be provided. Under such a scenario, the Services and Paralism\nNetwork could become destabilized, due to the increased cost of running\ndistributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest in the Services,\nthe Paralism Network and Para Tokens. Insufficiency of computational resources\nand an associated rise in the price of Para Tokens could result in businesses\nbeing unable to acquire scarce computational resources to run their distributed\napplications. This could result in lost revenues and disruption or halting of\nbusiness operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Risks Associated with New and Evolving\nLaws: The Paralism Network, and by extension the Site and Services, may be\nsubject to a variety of international laws and regulations, including those\nwith respect to financial or securities regulations, consumer privacy, data\nprotection, consumer protection, content regulation, network neutrality, cyber\nsecurity, data protection, intellectual property (including copyright, patent,\ntrademark and trade secret laws), defamation, and others. Such laws and\nregulations, and the interpretation or application of these laws and\nregulations, could change. In addition, new laws or regulations affecting the Paralism\nNetwork could be enacted. As the Site, Services and Paralism Network evolve, we\nmay be subject to new laws, and the application of existing laws to us might\nchange. These laws and regulations are frequently costly to comply with and may\ndivert a significant portion of the Paralism Foundation\u2019s attention and\nresources or restrict the way the Paralism may operate. If we fail to comply\nwith these applicable laws or regulations, we could receive negative publicity\nand be subject to significant liabilities which could adversely impact the Site,\nServices, and the Paralism Network and Para Tokens. Additionally, Paralism node\noperators of the Paralism Network may be subject to industry specific laws and\nregulations or licensing requirements. If any of these parties fails to comply\nwith any of these licensing requirements or other applicable laws or\nregulations, or if such laws and regulations or licensing requirements become\nmore stringent or are otherwise expanded, the Paralism Network and\/or Para\nTokens could be adversely impacted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Market Risks: Para Tokens are intended to\nbe used solely in connection with the Paralism Ecosystem, and we do not support\nor otherwise facilitate any secondary trading or external valuation of Para\nTokens. This restricts the contemplated avenues for using Para Tokens, and\ncould therefore create illiquidity risk to Para Tokens you hold. Even if\nsecondary trading of Para Tokens is facilitated by third party exchanges, such\nexchanges may be relatively new and subject to little or no regulatory\noversight, making them more susceptible to market-related risks. Furthermore,\nto the extent that third parties do ascribe an external exchange value to Para\nTokens (e.g., as denominated in a digital or fiat currency), such value may be\nextremely volatile and diminish to zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specific Risks Relating to Value and\nFunction of Para Tokens: The utility benefits of using Para Tokens to access\nservices provided by Paralism node operators can only materialize through\nuser-driven adoption over time. Such adoption depends on a variety of factors,\nincluding the pace of user adoption, the organic community-driven expansion of\nthe Paralism Network. As such, the extent of user adoption is entirely outside\nof our control and cannot be stated with any certainty. The price of Para Tokens\nmay fluctuate in response to competitive and market conditions affecting the\ngeneral supply of and demand for user-requested services. These conditions are\nbeyond our control. The value of Para Tokens on the Paralism Network may be\nlower than the price at which it was purchased. The utility of Para Tokens, and\nany value associated with that utility, will depend on the ability of the Paralism\nNetwork to adequately facilitate user-requested services.

The compensation for providing Paralism node services in the Paralism\nNetwork will depend on the resale price for the Para Tokens received for such\nservices, which may be lower than the compensation that might have been\nreceived through other arrangements. No promises of future performance or value\nare or will be made with respect to Para Token, including no promise of inherent\nvalue, no promise of continuing payments, and no guarantee that Para Token will\nhold any particular value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unanticipated Risks: Cryptographic tokens\nsuch as Para Tokens are a new and untested technology.
