No Guaranteed Rewards or Timelines

It is important to understand that participation in Jumpstart Services does not guarantee any rewards. You will only receive rewards if and when they are successfully received by OKX from the project team. Only after OKX receives them will they be distributed to your account.

There is no assurance that you will receive a specific amount, percentage, or type of reward. Any estimated return or reward rate provided by OKX is strictly for informational purposes and subject to change without notice. Market dynamics, project performance, and third-party actions can all influence final outcomes.

Furthermore, Jumpstart Services are entirely opt-in—meaning you choose to participate voluntarily. OKX assumes no liability for any financial loss, missed opportunity, or other adverse outcome resulting from your involvement.

Risks Associated with Early-Stage Projects

Start-up blockchain projects are inherently speculative and operate in highly uncertain environments. These projects are typically in their infancy, with unproven technology, limited user adoption, and evolving business models. As such, there is a real possibility of total loss.

Key risk factors include:

• Technology failure: The underlying blockchain or smart contract systems may contain bugs, vulnerabilities, or design flaws that compromise functionality or security.
• Lack of adoption: Even technically sound projects may fail to attract developers, users, or ecosystem partners necessary for long-term viability.
• Market illiquidity: There may be no active trading market for the digital assets received through Jumpstart. In some cases, no secondary market may ever develop.
• Regulatory scrutiny: Governments or financial authorities may investigate or restrict project teams, developers, or associated entities, potentially leading to shutdowns or asset freezes.
• Prior distribution: Some digital assets may have already been sold to private investors or institutional buyers, affecting scarcity and future price potential.

You alone bear full responsibility for any losses arising from these or other unforeseen factors.

Volatility and Financial Risk

Digital assets are known for extreme price volatility. The value of tokens acquired through Jumpstart can fluctuate dramatically due to technical upgrades, regulatory news, market sentiment, or macroeconomic trends. In worst-case scenarios, the asset could lose all value.

Additionally, you may encounter situations where withdrawal of your digital assets is temporarily or permanently restricted due to technical issues on the project's blockchain or platform-level limitations. This means you might not be able to sell or transfer your holdings even if market conditions warrant it.

Given these risks, you should only participate if you can afford to lose your entire investment. Jumpstart is not suitable for risk-averse investors or those relying on stable returns.

Legal, Tax, and Advisory Responsibilities

OKX does not provide investment, tax, legal, or financial advice. Participation in Jumpstart Services requires advanced knowledge of blockchain technology and digital asset markets. You are strongly encouraged to consult independent professionals—such as tax advisors, lawyers, and financial planners—before making any decisions.

You are solely responsible for:

• Determining tax obligations related to your digital asset transactions
• Reporting income, capital gains, or other taxable events to relevant authorities
• Complying with all local laws regarding ownership and transfer of digital assets

Regulatory frameworks around digital assets continue to evolve globally. Changes in laws or enforcement actions could impact the availability of Jumpstart Services or the usability of certain tokens.

No Warranty or Fiduciary Relationship

OKX makes no representations or warranties—express or implied—about the quality, performance, security, or future potential of any digital asset offered through Jumpstart Services. The information provided on the OKX platform is for general informational purposes only and should not be interpreted as advice or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any asset.

You acknowledge that OKX does not act as your advisor or fiduciary. All decisions to participate are made independently by you, based on your own research and judgment.

3. Indemnification: You agree to indemnify and hold harmless OKX and its affiliates from any losses, damages, legal fees, or expenses incurred due to claims brought by you or anyone acting on your behalf.

These provisions are intended to protect OKX from legal exposure while emphasizing the self-directed nature of digital asset investing.
