12.3. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of these Terms: (i) your license rights will terminate and you must immediately cease all use of the Services; (ii) you will no longer be authorized to access your account or the Services; and (iii) all definitions, and Sections 6 (Ownership; Proprietary Rights), 12.3 (Effect of Termination), 15 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration), 16 (Disclaimers; No Warranties by Lionsoul), 17 (Limitations of Liability), 18 (Indemnification), 19 (Miscellaneous), and 20 (Notice Regarding Apple) will survive.

14.1. Amounts contributed by Client to the Program Account and/or a Lionsoul Fund (as applicable) were not and are not directly or indirectly derived from activities that may contravene US federal, state or international laws and regulations, including, without limitation, anti-money laundering (“AML”) laws and regulations, such as the US Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 (i.e., 18 U.S.C. §§1956 and 1957), and the laws, regulations and Executive Orders administered by OFAC (“OFAC Sanctions Programs”) (collectively, “AML/OFAC Laws”).
We may, from time to time, amend these Terms. Please check these Terms periodically for changes. Except as otherwise stated, revisions to these Terms will be effective immediately; provided that we may require that you accept modified Terms to continue to use the Services.
16.1. Generally. Except as described in Section 16.2 (Exceptions) and 16.3 (Opt-Out), you and Lionsoul agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms, the Services, or communications from us will be resolved through binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, is less formal than a court proceeding, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. Any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement will be resolved by the arbitrator.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND LIONSOUL ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
16.2. Exceptions. Although we are agreeing to arbitrate most disputes between us, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (i) bring an individual action in small claims court; (ii) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
16.3. Opt-Out. If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section 16 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending a letter to Lionsoul Global Inc., Attention: Legal Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, 106 E. 6th St., Suite 900-160, Austin, TX 78701-3659, that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your account on the Services, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once Lionsoul receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 16 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 20.2 (Governing Law). The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.
16.4. Arbitrator. This arbitration agreement, and any arbitration between us, is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and will be administered by the JAMS under the rules applicable to consumer disputes (collectively, “JAMS Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The JAMS Rules and filing forms are available online at www.jamsadr.org, by calling the JAMS at +1-800-352-5267 or by contacting Lionsoul.
16.5. Commencing Arbitration. Before initiating arbitration, a party must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Lionsoul’s address for Notice is: 106 E. 6th St., Suite 900-160, Austin, TX 78701-3659. The Notice of Arbitration must: (i) identify the name or account number of the party making the claim; (ii) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (iii) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or Lionsoul may commence an arbitration proceeding. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Lionsoul will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US$10,000 or if Lionsoul has received 25 or more similar demands for arbitration, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the JAMS Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules and the other party may seek reimbursement for any fees paid to JAMS.
16.6. Arbitration Proceedings. Any arbitration hearings will take place in Travis County, Texas, unless you and Lionsoul both agree in writing to a different location, or, if the claim is for US$10,000 or less (and does not seek injunctive relief), you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted. Any arbitration will be conducted: (i) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (ii) through a telephonic or video hearing; or (iii) by an in-person hearing as established by the JAMS Rules. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Lionsoul must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based.
16.7. Arbitration Relief. Except as provided in Section 16.8 (No Class Actions), the arbitrator can award any relief that would be available if the claims had been brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by Lionsoul before an arbitrator was selected, Lionsoul will pay to you the higher of: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator and (ii) US$10,000. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties, except (1) for judicial review expressly permitted by law or (2) if the arbitrator’s award includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, in which case that party shall have the right to seek judicial review of the injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction that shall not be bound by the arbitrator’s application or conclusions of law. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
16.8. No Class Actions. YOU AND LIONSOUL AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Lionsoul agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
16.9. Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Lionsoul makes any substantive change to this arbitration provision, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Lionsoul’s address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with Lionsoul will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
16.10. Enforceability. If Section 16.8 (No Class Actions) or the entirety of this Section 16 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) is found to be unenforceable, or if Lionsoul receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section 16 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 20.2 (Governing Law) will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
17.1. THE SERVICES, ALL MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICES AND THE PLATFORM, ARE PROVIDED ON AN AS-IS AND AS-AVAILABLE BASIS.

WE DO NOT WARRANT, ENDORSE, GUARANTEE, OR ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE ADVERTISED OR OFFERED BY A THIRD PARTY THROUGH THE SERVICES, ANY HYPERLINKED WEBSITE, OR ANY WEBSITE OR MOBILE APPLICATION FEATURED IN ANY BANNER OR OTHER ADVERTISING, AND WE WILL NOT BE A PARTY TO OR IN ANY WAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MONITORING ANY TRANSACTION BETWEEN YOU AND ANY THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES.

17.3. Novel and Experimental Technology. The Services and the Platform and the Custodian’s services rely on novel and experimental technology that may contain bugs, viruses, Trojan horses, or other vulnerabilities, and may be subject to hacks, phishing attempts or other malicious activity, that could result in a complete loss of the digital assets that you use in connection with the Services or the Platform. By using the Services or the Platform, you acknowledge and agree to use such a novel and experimental technology at your own risk. You further acknowledge and agree that there are certain risks native to cryptographic or blockchain-based systems, which include but are not limited to, private key security, high price volatility, technological vulnerabilities, cybersecurity attacks, and other forms of malicious activity present in the digital asset ecosystem (e.g., scams, rug pulls). Please do your own due diligence before engaging with the Services or the Platform.
17.4. Legal and Regulatory Developments.
THE LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMERS IN THIS SECTION 17 (DISCLAIMERS; NO WARRANTIES BY LIONSOUL) APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Lionsoul does not disclaim any warranty or other right that Lionsoul is prohibited from disclaiming under applicable law.
18.1. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE LIONSOUL ENTITIES (DEFINED BELOW) BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFIT, LOST REVENUE, LOSS OF DATA, OR OTHER DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVICES, THE PLATFORM, OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT ON THE SERVICES OR THE PLATFORM, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
18.2. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTIONS 15.5 (COMMENCING ARBITRATION) AND 15.7 (ARBITRATION RELIEF) AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE LIONSOUL ENTITIES TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF OR ANY INABILITY TO USE ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICES, THE PLATFORM, OR OTHERWISE UNDER THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF: (i) THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO LIONSOUL FOR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT OR CIRCUMSTANCE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM AND (ii) $100.00 USD. CERTAIN US STATE LAWS AND INTERNATIONAL LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.
18.3. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE OR DELAY IN PERFORMANCE OF OUR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THESE TERMS ARISING OUT OF OR CAUSED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, BY CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR REASONABLE CONTROL INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ACTS OF GOD, EARTHQUAKES, FIRES, FLOODS, WARS, CIVIL OR MILITARY DISTURBANCES, ACTS OF TERRORISM, SABOTAGE, STRIKES, EPIDEMICS, PANDEMICS, RIOTS, POWER FAILURES, COMPUTER FAILURE, AND ANY SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR REASONABLE CONTROL AS MAY CAUSE INTERRUPTION, LOSS OR MALFUNCTION OF UTILITY, COMPUTER (HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE) OR TELEPHONE COMMUNICATION SERVICE, ACCIDENTS, LABOR DISPUTES, ACTS OF CIVIL OR MILITARY AUTHORITY, OR GOVERNMENTAL ACTIONS.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING OR ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY SET OUT IN THIS SECTION, NOTHING SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS SHALL CONSTITUTE A WAIVER OR LIMITATION OF ANY RIGHTS THAT YOU MAY HAVE UNDER FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
YOUR OBLIGATION TO INDEMNIFY US FOR LIABILITIES ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THIS SECTION 19. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us and our subsidiaries, affiliates, and all of our respective officers, directors, managers, members, shareholders, agents, partners, insurers, consultants and employees (collectively, the “Lionsoul Entities”), from and against every claim brought by a third party, and any related loss, damage, liability, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, due to or arising out of: (i) your use of the Services or the Platform; (ii) your breach of these Terms; (iii) any breach of your representations and warranties set forth in these Terms; (iv) your violation of the rights of a third party, including, but not limited to, intellectual; (v) any harmful act toward any other user of the Services or the Platform with whom you connected via the Services; or (vi) any dispute or issue between you and any third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right, at our expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us (without limiting your indemnification obligations with respect to that matter), and you agree to cooperate, at your expense, with our defense of such claims. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action, or proceeding which is subject to this indemnification upon becoming aware of it.
20.1. General Terms. These Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Services or in respect to the Services constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. These Terms operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign any or all of our rights and obligations to others at any time without notice or consent. If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. There is no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship created between you and us as a result of these Terms or use of the Services. You agree that these Terms will not be construed against us by virtue of having drafted them. Throughout these Terms the use of the word “including” means “including, but not limited to.” You hereby waive any and all defenses you may have based on the electronic form of these Terms and the lack of signing by the parties hereto to execute these Terms.
20.2. Governing Law. These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Texas without regard to its conflict of law principles.
