- 2.2 Any potential future use of the Tokens in connection with provision or receipt of services on the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform shall be subject to and governed by such other applicable terms, conditions and policies relating to the use of the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform (“Platform Terms”). Such Platform Terms will be made available to SIA "dApp Builder" Platform users, if the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform is successfully developed and deployed.
- 2.3 For a more detailed description of the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform, please refer to the SIA "dApp Builder" website at / and the SIA "dApp Builder" Whitepaper (a copy of which can be found at:
Whitepaper.pdf. The information contained in the SIA "dApp Builder" Whitepaper and on the SIA "dApp Builder" website are of descriptive nature only, are not binding and do not form part of these Contribution Terms.
3 Creation and issue of Tokens through the Smart Contract System
- 3.1 SIA "dApp Builder" has deployed a smart contract system (the “Smart Contract System” or “SCS”) on
the Ethereum blockchain for the purposes of receiving contributions, creating its own
proprietary SIA "dApp Builder" tokens (“Tokens”) and issuing such Tokens to the Ethereum wallet from which the contribution was received. The Token created shall be based on the ERC20 token standard.
- 3.2 The Smart Contract System shall be made available to receive contributions, create Tokens and issue Tokens for a defined period of time (“Contribution Period”). The dApp Builder utility token (DAP) will be distributed to participants in 2 contribution events. (more in the Whitepaper.pdf )
- 3.3 The creation and issue of Tokens shall be initiated by the Contributor transferring an amount in Ether (“ETH”) during the Contribution Period to the Smart Contract System, located on the Ethereum blockchain at [the address to be published on / when the Contribution Period commences. The Smart Contract System’s receipt of the contribution in Ether from the Contributor will trigger a smart contract operation whereby Tokens will be created and issued to the Ethereum wallet address from which
the contribution was received.
- 3.4 The Smart Contract System shall only accept contributions that are made in ETH. The Smart Contract System will not accept any contributions made in fiat currencies or any crypto-currencies (other than ETH).
- 3.5 Only the Smart Contract System existing at the addresses referred to in clause 3.3 will be able to accept contributions and create and issue Tokens during the Contribution Period. To the extent that any third-party website, service or smart-contract offers Tokens during the Contribution Period or facilitates the allocation or transfer of Tokens in any way during the Contribution Period or at any time up to the release of the Genesis Block, such third-party websites or services are, unless expressly set out in these Contribution Terms or mentioned on the SIA "dApp Builder" website referred to in clause 3.3, not authorised by SIA "dApp Builder" nor do they have any legal or commercial relationship in any way with SIA "dApp Builder", the Tokens or the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform. Contributors who send contributions to any thirdparty
website, service or smart contract that offers Tokens in the manner described in
this clause 3.5, risk losing their entire contribution and SIA "dApp Builder" shall not be responsible or liable for recovering or returning any such contributions to the Contributor nor shall SIA "dApp Builder" be responsible or liable for any losses incurred by the Contributor in this respect.
- 3.6 In order to receive Tokens created and issued by the Smart Contract System as described in clause 3.3, you shall send contributions to the Smart Contract System from an Ethereum wallet that supports the ERC20 token standard (in other words the Contributor’s Ethereum wallet must possess technical infrastructure that is compatible with the receipt, storage, holding and transfer of the Tokens, being tokens that are created based on the ERC20 token standard). SIA "dApp Builder" reserves the right to prescribed additional conditions relating to the specific wallet requirements at any time acting in its sole and absolute discretion.
- 3.7 Contributions received by the Smart Contract System shall be the sole and exclusive property of SIA "dApp Builder", who shall be entitled to apply such contributions towards the development of the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform and for other operational expenses of the Company.
Subject to clause 3.9 below, you irrevocably and unconditionally waive any rights which
you have or may in the future have to claim title to or reimbursement of any
contributions received by the Smart Contract System.
- 3.8 Token Price: During the Contribution Period, the Smart Contract System shall create and issue 200 Tokens for every ETH contributed and received by the Smart Contract System.
- 3.9 Minimum Target: SIA "dApp Builder" has imposed a minimum aggregate contribution target equivalent to USD 5 million (“Minimum Target”). If on conclusion of the Contribution Period pursuant, the aggregate sum of all contributions received by the Smart Contract System is less than the Minimum Target, SIA "dApp Builder" shall, within a reasonable period of time, exercise reasonable endeavours to procure that contributions are returned to the Ethereum wallet address from which the contribution was received.
- 3.10 Total amount of Tokens issued: the total amount of Tokens to be issued shall be twice the total amount of Token allocated during the Contribution Period, so that 50% of the total amount of Tokens shall be held by the Company and 50% of the total amount Tokens shall be held by the Contributors.
4 Refunds, Refusals, Suspension and Termination of Contributions
- 4.1 Subject to clause 3.9, all contributions made under these Contribution Terms are final and Contributors shall not be entitled to any refund or return of contributions from SIA "dApp Builder", except to the extent required by applicable law.
- 4.2 SIA "dApp Builder" reserves the right, through the Smart Contract System or otherwise, to refuse or
reject any contributions made at any time in our sole and absolute discretion. To the
extent that we refuse or reject a contribution, we will exercise reasonable endeavours
to procure that the contribution is recovered and returned to the Ethereum wallet from
which the contribution was made, however, we do not warrant, represent or offer any
assurances that we will successfully be able to recover and/or return any such
contributions.
- 4.3 At any time prior to satisfaction of the Completion Conditions, SIA "dApp Builder" may either temporarily suspend or permanently abort the Contribution Period for security reasons. Any suspension or abort of the Contribution Period shall be deemed to commence from the moment that SIA "dApp Builder" publishes a notice to that effect on its website at /.
- 4.4 During any period of suspension or in the event that the Contribution Period is aborted, the Smart Contract System will no longer be able to receive and accept contributions, create Tokens and/or issue Tokens to Contributors. Contributors who send contributions to the Smart Contract System, after SIA "dApp Builder" has published a notice that the Contribution Period has been suspended or aborted in accordance with clause 4.3, risk losing their entire contribution and SIA "dApp Builder" shall not be responsible or liable for recovering or returning any such contributions to the Contributor nor shall we be responsible or liable for any losses incurred by the Contributor in this respect. You are therefore strongly advised to check the website link set out in clause 4.3 above before sending a contribution to the Smart Contract System.
5 Token Functionality
- 5.1 Ownership of Tokens carries no rights, whether express or implied, other than a limited potential future right or expectation to use and interact with the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform (as further described in the White Paper ), if and to the extent the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform is successfully developed and launched. Any potential future right or expectation relating
to the potential future provision and receipt of services on the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform shall be subject to any restrictions and limitations set out in these Contribution Terms and/or the Platform Terms (as applicable).
- 5.2 You acknowledge and accept that Tokens do not represent or constitute:
- any ownership right or stake, share, equity, security, commodity, bond, debt
instrument or any other financial instrument or investment carrying equivalent
rights;
- any right to receive future revenues, shares or any other form of participation or
governance right in or relating to SIA "dApp Builder" and/or the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform;
- any form of money or legal tender in any jurisdiction, nor do they constitute any
representation of money (including electronic money); or

Terms form a binding agreement between the Parties.
- 5.3 Protections offered by applicable law in relation to the purchase, holding and/or sale of the instruments and/or investments referred to in clause 5.2 above shall not apply to any contribution made under these Contribution Terms for the purchase of Tokens or to your holding or sale of Tokens.
- 5.4 SIA "dApp Builder" makes no warranties or representations and offers no assurances (in each case whether express or implied) that the Tokens shall confer any actual and/or exercisable rights of use, functionality, features, purpose or attributes in connection with SIA "dApp Builder" Platform.
6 Audit of the Smart Contract System
- 6.1 SIA "dApp Builder" has exercised reasonable endeavours to have the Smart Contract System audited
and approved by technical experts. The technical experts have confirmed that the Smart
Contract System has, with regard to both accuracy and security, been programmed in
accordance with best industry practice.
- 6.2 Notwithstanding clause 6.1, smart contract technology is still in an early development stage and its application is currently of an experimental nature, which carries significant operational, technological, financial, regulatory and reputational risks. Accordingly, while the audit conducted raises the level of security and accuracy of the Smart Contract System, you acknowledge, understand and accept that the audit does not amount to any form of warranty, representation or assurance (in each case whether express or implied) that the Smart Contract System and the Token are fit for a particular purpose or that they are free from any defects, weaknesses, vulnerabilities, viruses or bugs which could cause, inter alia, the complete loss of ETH contributions and/or Tokens.
7 Security
- 7.1 You are responsible for implementing all reasonable and appropriate measures for
securing the wallet, vault or other storage mechanism you use to receive and store
Tokens that are issued to you by the Smart Contract System, including any requisite
private key(s) or other credentials necessary to access such storage mechanism(s). If
your private key(s) or other access credentials are lost, you may lose access to your
Tokens. We are not responsible for any security measures relating to your receipt,
possession, storage, transfer or potential future use of Tokens nor are we under any
obligation to recover or return any Tokens and we hereby exclude (to the fullest extent
permitted under applicable law) any and all liability for any security breaches or other
acts or omissions which result in your loss of (including your loss of access to) Tokens.
8 Right to Request Information
- 8.1 We may determine, in our sole and absolute discretion, that it is necessary to obtain certain information about you in order to comply with applicable law or regulation inconnection with creation and issue of Tokens to you. You agree to provide us such
information promptly upon request, and you acknowledge and accept that we may
refuse or reject any contributions for the purchase of Tokens until you provide such
requested information and we have determined that it is permissible to create and issue
Tokens to you under applicable law or regulation.
9 Indemnity
- 9.1 To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you will indemnify, defend and hold harmless SIA "dApp Builder" and our respective past, present and future employees, officers, directors, contractors, consultants, equity holders, suppliers, vendors, service providers, parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, representatives, predecessors, successors and assigns from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable professional and legal fees) that arise from or relate to: (i) your acquisition or use of Tokens; (ii) the performance or non-performance of your responsibilities or obligations under these Contribution Terms; (iii) your violation of these Contribution Terms; or (iv) your violation of any rights
of any other person or entity.
- 9.2 SIA "dApp Builder" reserves the right to exercise sole control over the defence, at your sole cost and
expense, of any claim subject to indemnity set out in clause 9.1. This indemnity is in

including, without limitation, any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for
a particular purpose, title and non-infringement;
- we do not represent or warrant that the Tokens are reliable, current or error-free, meet your requirements, or that any defects Tokens will be corrected; and
- we cannot and do not represent or warrant that the Tokens or the delivery
mechanism for Tokens are free of viruses or other harmful components.
- 10.2 Neither these Contribution Terms nor the SIA "dApp Builder" Whitepaper constitute a prospectus or offering document, and are not an offer to sell, nor the solicitation of an offer to buy any investment or financial instrument in any jurisdiction. Tokens should not be acquired for
speculative or investment purposes with the expectation of making a profit on
immediate re-sale.
11 Limitation of Liability
- 11.1 To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no circumstances shall:
- SIA "dApp Builder" or any of the SIA "dApp Builder" Parties be liable for any direct, indirect, special, incidental or
consequential loss of any kind (including, but not limited to, loss of revenue,
income, business or profits, loss of contract or depletion of goodwill, loss of
anticipated savings, loss of use or data, or damages for business interruption or
any like loss) arising out of or in any way related to the acquisition, storage,
transfer or use of the Tokens or otherwise related to these Contribution Terms,
regardless of the cause of action, whether based in contract, tort (including, but
not limited to, simple negligence, whether active, passive or imputed), or any other
legal or equitable basis (even if SIA "dApp Builder" or any of the SIA "dApp Builder" Parties have been advised of

12 Risks
You acknowledge and agree that the transfer of ETH to the Smart Contract System, the creation
and issue of Tokens and the development and deployment of the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform carries significant financial, regulatory and reputational risks, including but not limited to those set out in this clause 12 below.
BY CONTRIBUTING TO THE SMART CONTRACT SYSTEM AND ACCEPTING THESE
CONTRIBUTION TERMS YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE, ACCEPT AND ASSUME THESE
RISKS.
- 12.1 Risk of software weaknesses: the Smart Contract System concept, the underlying
software application and software platform (i.e. the Ethereum blockchain) is still in an
early development stage and unproven. There is no warranty or assurance that the
process for creating Tokens will be uninterrupted or error-free and there is an inherent
risk that the software could contain defects, weaknesses, vulnerabilities, viruses or bugs
causing, inter alia, the complete loss of ETH contributions and/or Tokens.
- 12.2 Regulatory risk: blockchain technology allows new forms of interaction and that it is
possible that certain jurisdictions will apply existing regulations on, or introduce new
regulations addressing, blockchain technology based applications, which may be
contrary to the current setup of the Smart Contract System and which may, inter alia,
result in substantial modifications to the Smart Contract System and/or the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform, including its termination and the loss of Tokens for the Contributor.
Additionally, regulation of prediction market applications is uncertain in various
jurisdictions owing to the potential crossovers that prediction markets have into
gambling, financial services and blockchain technology laws and regulations. It is not
known what regulatory framework the proposed SIA "dApp Builder" Platform and associated applications will be caught by, the nature and obligations that will be imposed on SIA "dApp Builder" in order to comply with any such regulatory framework or when/if SIA "dApp Builder" will even be able to apply to be regulated so that it may lawfully carry out its proposed business activities.
- 12.3 Risks Associated with Uncertain Regulations and Enforcement Actions: the regulatory
status of the Tokens and distributed ledger technology is unclear or unsettled in many
jurisdictions. It is difficult to predict how or whether regulatory authorities may apply
existing regulation with respect to such technology and its applications, including the
SIA "dApp Builder" Platform and the Tokens. It is likewise difficult to predict how or whether legislatures or regulatory authorities may implement changes to law and regulation affecting distributed ledger technology and its applications, including the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform
and the Tokens. Regulatory actions could negatively impact the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform and the Tokens in various ways, including, for purposes of illustration only, through a determination that Tokens are a regulated financial instrument that requires
registration or licensing. SIA "dApp Builder" 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.
- 12.4 Risk of abandonment / lack of success: the creation and issue of the Tokens and the development of the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform may be abandoned for a number of reasons, including lack of interest from the public, lack of funding, lack of commercial success or prospects (e.g. caused by competing projects). You therefore understand and accept that there is no warranty or assurance that, even if the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform is partially or fully developed
and launched, you will receive any benefits through the Tokens that you hold.
- 12.5 Risk associated with other applications: the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform may give rise to other,
alternative projects, promoted by unaffiliated third parties, under which Tokens will
have no intrinsic value.
- 12.6 Risk of loss of private key: Tokens can only be accessed by using an Ethereum wallet
with a combination of the Contributor’s account information (address), private key and
password. The private key is encrypted with a password. You acknowledge, understand
and accept that if your private key or password gets lost or stolen, the obtained Tokens
associated with your account (address) or password will be unrecoverable and will be
permanently lost. Additionally, any third party that gains access to your private key,
including by gaining access to the login credentials relating to your Ethereum wallet, may
be able to misappropriate your Tokens.
- 12.7 Risk of theft: the Smart Contract System concept, the underlying software application
and software platform (i.e. the Ethereum blockchain) may be exposed to attacks by
hackers or other individuals including, but not limited to, malware attacks, denial of
service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks, smurfing and spoofing. Any such
successful attacks could result in theft or loss of Tokens or ETH, adversely impacting the
ability to develop the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform and derive any usage or functionality from the Tokens. Furthermore, because the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform is based on open-source software, there is a risk that a third party or a member of the SIA "dApp Builder" team may intentionally or unintentionally introduce weaknesses or defects into the core infrastructure of the SIA "dApp Builder"
Platform, which could negatively affect the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform and the Tokens.
- 12.8 Risk of Ethereum mining attacks: as with other cryptocurrencies, the blockchain used
for the Smart Contract System is susceptible to mining attacks, including but not limited
to double-spend attacks, majority mining power attacks, “selfish-mining” attacks, and
race condition attacks. Any successful attacks present a risk to the Smart Contract
System, expected proper execution and sequencing of Token transactions, and expected
proper execution and sequencing of contract computations.
- 12.9 Risk of incompatible wallet service: the wallet or wallet service provider used for the
contribution, has to conform to the ERC20 token standard in order to be be technically
compatible with the Token. The failure to ensure such conformity may have the result
that Contributor will not gain access to his Token.
- 12.10 Risk of Hard-Fork: the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform will need to go through substantial development
works as part of which it may become the subject of significant conceptual, technical and commercial changes before release. As part of the development, an upgrade to the Token may be required (hard-fork of Token) and that, if you decide not to participate in
such upgrade, you may no longer be able to use your Tokens and any non-upgraded
Tokens may lose their functionality in full.
- 12.11 Risk of Uninsured Losses: unlike bank accounts or accounts at some other financial
institutions, Tokens are uninsured unless you specifically obtain 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 us, to offer recourse to you.
- 12.12 Risks Arising from Taxation: the tax characterization of Tokens is uncertain. You must
seek your own tax advice in connection with acquisition, storage, holding and use of
Tokens, which may result in adverse tax consequences to you, including, without
limitation, withholding taxes, transfer taxes, value added taxes, income taxes and similar
taxes, levies, duties or other charges and tax reporting requirements.
- 12.13 Risk of an Unfavorable Fluctuation of Ethereum and Other Currency Value: the SIA "dApp Builder"
team intends to use the contributions received to fund the maintenance and
development of the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform. The contributions received will be denominated in
Ether, and may be converted into other cryptographic and fiat currencies. If the value of
Ethereum or other currencies fluctuates unfavorably during or after the Contribution
Period, the SIA "dApp Builder" team may not be able to fund development, or may not be able to
maintain the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform in the manner that it intended.
- 12.14 Risk of Dissolution of the Company or Network: it is possible that, due to any number
of reasons, including, but not limited to, an unfavorable fluctuation in the value of
Ethereum (or other cryptographic and fiat currencies), decrease in the Tokens’ utility
due to negative adoption of the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform, the failure of commercial relationships, or
intellectual property ownership challenges, the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform may no longer be viable to
operate and the Company may dissolve.
- 12.15 Risks Arising from Lack of Governance Rights: because Tokens confer no governance
rights of any kind with respect to the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform or SIA "dApp Builder", all decisions involving the SIA "dApp Builder"
Platform or SIA "dApp Builder" will be made by SIA "dApp Builder" acting in its sole and absolute discretion, including,
but not limited to, decisions to discontinue the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform, to create and issue more
Tokens for use in the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform, or to sell or liquidate SIA "dApp Builder". These decisions could
adversely affect the SIA "dApp Builder" Platform and/or the Tokens you hold.
- 12.16 Unanticipated Risks: cryptographic tokens such as the Tokens are a new and untested
technology. In addition to the risks set out in this clause 12, there are other risks
associated with your acquisition, storage, transfer and use of Tokens, including those
that SIA "dApp Builder" may not be able to anticipate. Such risks may further materialize as
unanticipated variations or combinations of the risks set out in this clause 12.
