1. Investment Risk Disclosures

General Investment Risks

  • Token prices may experience extreme volatility due to market conditions, regulatory announcements, or project developments

  • Market manipulation by large holders could adversely affect token prices

Technology and Operational Risks

  • Smart contract vulnerabilities could lead to loss of funds despite audit procedures
  • Blockchain infrastructure failures or attacks could disrupt token operations
  • Technology obsolescence may require costly upgrades or system migrations
  • Key person risk if critical team members become unavailable
  • Cybersecurity threats targeting token holders or infrastructure systems

Infrastructure Development Risks

  • Counterparty risks with contractors, suppliers, and power purchase agreement partners

Regulatory and Legal Risks

  • Changes in securities regulations could impact token trading, transfers, or conversions

2. Securities Law Compliance

3. Jurisdictional Restrictions

Geographic Limitations

SDA Token is not available to residents or citizens of certain jurisdictions due to regulatory restrictions or the absence of appropriate legal frameworks. The following limitations apply:

Restricted Jurisdictions

  • Countries subject to comprehensive U.S. or EU sanctions
  • Jurisdictions that prohibit security token ownership or trading
  • Regions without adequate anti-money laundering frameworks
  • Countries where renewable energy token investment violates local regulations

Qualification Requirements

Even in permitted jurisdictions, investor qualification requirements may apply. Professional and accredited investor status may be required in certain regions. Retail investor access is subject to local regulations and may include investment limits, additional disclosures, or cooling-off periods. Prospective investors must verify their eligibility before attempting to participate.

4. Forward-Looking Statements

This website and associated materials contain forward-looking statements regarding expected project development, potential returns, market conditions, and business prospects. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that may prove incorrect. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements due to various factors including market conditions, regulatory changes, construction delays, technology evolution, or other unforeseen circumstances.

Forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as predictions of future performance. The project makes no commitment to update forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or changed circumstances, except as required by applicable regulations. Investors should conduct independent analysis and not rely solely on forward-looking statements when making investment decisions.

5. No Investment Advice

The information provided on this website does not constitute investment, financial, legal, or tax advice. All materials are provided for educational and informational purposes only. Prospective investors should consult with qualified financial advisors, legal counsel, and tax professionals before making any investment decisions. Individual circumstances vary significantly, and professional guidance is essential for appropriate investment planning.

No representation is made regarding the suitability of SDA Token for any particular investor's financial situation, investment objectives, or risk tolerance. The decision to invest must be made independently by each investor based on their own analysis and professional advice appropriate to their circumstances.

6. Technology Disclaimers

Smart Contract Risks

Despite comprehensive auditing procedures, smart contracts may contain undiscovered vulnerabilities that could result in partial or total loss of invested funds. Blockchain technology remains experimental, and smart contract execution depends on network infrastructure beyond the project's control. Token holders acknowledge that smart contract risks cannot be entirely eliminated, regardless of audit quality or developer expertise.

Blockchain Dependency

SDA Token operations depend entirely on the Solana blockchain infrastructure. Network outages, security breaches, consensus failures, or protocol changes could impact token functionality, transfers, or distribution mechanisms. While Solana has demonstrated reliability, blockchain infrastructure risks remain beyond the project's direct control and could affect token operations.

7. Project Independence

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Sustainable Digital Assets, its officers, directors, employees, advisors, and affiliated entities disclaim all liability for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from SDA Token investment, including but not limited to financial losses, operational disruptions, or regulatory complications.

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory under which damages are claimed, including contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or statutory claims. Some jurisdictions may not permit all liability limitations, in which case liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

9. Modifications and Updates

This disclaimer may be updated periodically to reflect regulatory changes, operational developments, or legal requirements. Material changes will be communicated through official channels, and continued participation in SDA Token following notification constitutes acceptance of updated terms. Investors are responsible for reviewing disclaimer updates and ensuring continued compliance with their investment objectives and risk tolerance.
