4. Sale and Purchase of Tokens

4.1. Fractal shall ensure that there is at no time more than 865,000,000 Tokens in issue and in circulation.

4.3. In the event that any of the Tokens made available for purchase during the Token Sale remain unsold or undistributed for any reason, such Tokens shall be allocated to the reserve for Fractal’s use at its sole and absolute discretion.
4
Effective Date: 15 February 2021
4.4. The Token Sale will commence and end in accordance with the dates and times stated on the Website (as may be updated from time to time) or otherwise communicated by Fractal. Fractal reserves the sole discretion to adjust such dates and times as it deems fit from time to time.
4.5. The price per Token during the Token Sale shall be as stated on the Website (as may be updated from time to time) or otherwise communicated by Fractal. The price per Token is exclusive of all applicable taxes (including, without limitation, sales, use, withholding and income tax, but excluding tax on the net income of Fractal).
4.6. Any minimum and maximum purchase for each transaction during the Token Sale shall be as stated on the Website (as may be updated from time to time).
Suspension and Cancellation
4.7. Fractal may, in its sole discretion, suspend the Token Sale at any time for security reasons or if required by the applicable laws. Any suspension of the Token Sale shall be deemed to commence immediately from the date and time specified in the notice published by Fractal on the Website.

4.8. The Token Sale may be cancelled by Fractal, in its sole discretion, in any of the following circumstances:

4.8.5. the Token Sale is suspended due to any Force Majeure Event and Fractal cannot reasonably expect the Token Sale to be resumed within thirty (30) days. 4.9. Any cancellation of the Token Sale shall be deemed to commence immediately from the
date and time specified in the notice published by Fractal on the Website. 4.10. During any period of suspension or in the event that the Token Sale has ended or been cancelled, Fractal will not be able to receive or accept any payment for the Tokens. Accordingly, any Participant who attempts to pay Fractal for any purchase of the Tokens during such period risks losing their entire payment and Fractal will neither be responsible or liable for recovering or returning any such payment, nor be liable for any losses incurred by the Participant in respect of the foregoing.
Procedures and Conditions for Purchase
4.11. A Participant may purchase the Tokens directly from Fractal during the Token Sale through the Website or such other method or location as Fractal may specify.
5
Effective Date: 15 February 2021

4.12.2. complete the Customer Due Diligence to the satisfaction of Fractal; 4.12.3. comply with these T&C and all relevant instructions of Fractal as provided on the Website or otherwise notified to the Participant from time to time; and 4.12.4. maintain a fully operational and valid Wallet which complies with the requirements prescribed by Fractal and whose address has been whitelisted by Fractal.
4.13. During the Token Sale, unless otherwise indicated by Fractal in writing, purchases of the Tokens shall be payable in ETH only. All payments for the Tokens must be made in accordance with the payment instructions specified by Fractal or by the platform used by Fractal for the Token Sale, in writing, whether on the Website or otherwise, failing which, (i) the Participant bears the risk that Fractal may not receive the payment, and such payment shall be regarded as invalid, and (ii) Fractal shall owe no obligation to the Participant.
4.14. Each Participant shall comply with these T&C (in particular, the provisions in this Clause 4). Fractal shall not be responsible for any delays, losses, costs, non-delivery of the Tokens or other issues arising from any non-compliance. In particular, but without limitation, Fractal is under no obligation to issue any replacement Tokens if any Token or private key to any Wallet is lost, stolen, malfunctioning, destroyed or otherwise inaccessible for any reason, nor to refund the Participant for the price of the Tokens in such cases.
4.15. Subject to these T&C, the Participants will be able to pool the purchased Tokens from the available pools as soon as such pools close, which should happen as asson practicable after the completion of the Token Sale (as determined by Fractal in its sole and absolute discretion).
4.16. The Participant shall be responsible for implementing and maintaining adequate security measures for purchasing, storing and using the Tokens, including the safe-keeping of any private keys, identification or access credentials of the Participant’s Wallet.
5. Refunds
5.1. All purchases of the Tokens from Fractal during the Token Sale are final and save as required by the applicable law, there shall be no refunds.
5.2. All costs and risks arising from or relating to any refund of payment made during the Token Sale shall be borne by the Participant fully.
5.3. Any refund made by Fractal to any Participant pursuant to these T&Cs shall be made in the currency of the original payment (unless otherwise agreed by the Parties) without any interest and less the expenses that Fractal incurred or may incur in future in connection with such refund, including, without limitation, any transaction, network or
6
Effective Date: 15 February 2021
exchange fees, and all reasonable transaction costs and expenses incurred by Fractal in connection with the Token Sale.
5.4. To the maximum extent permitted by the applicable law, Fractal shall not be responsible to any Participant for any delay or failure to perform any refund where such delay or failure arises from the Participant failing to provide Fractal with the requested information within the time stipulated by Fractal.
6. The Ecosystem and the Tokens
6.1. The Participant acknowledges that at the time of the Token Sale the Ecosystem has not been fully developed. The Participant acknowledges that there is a risk that the development of the Ecosystem may fail or be significantly hampered at any stage. The Participant further acknowledges to be aware of the stage of development of the Ecosystem and the risks associated with the purchase of Tokens, in particular but without limitation those outlined in EXHIBIT A of this T&C.
6.2. The Ecosystem will be initially developed by Fractal or/and an affiliate of Fractal or by partners of Fractal (collectively the “Service Providers”). Fractal will not necessarily maintain the Ecosystem and Fractal will not be responsible or liable for the Ecosystem or any third-party uses of the Ecosystem.
6.3. Fractal’s intended purpose of the Tokens is to be used as means of payment for the services that will be offered within the Ecosystem (the “Services”).
6.4. The purchase, ownership, receipt or possession of Tokens carries no rights, express or implied, other than the right to use Tokens as a means to enable usage of Services in accordance with the then applicable terms of use relating to the Services offered within the Ecosystem. In particular, the Participant understands and agrees that Tokens do not represent or confer any ownership right or stake, share, security, or equivalent rights, or any right to receive future revenue shares, intellectual property rights or any other form of participation in or relating to the Ecosystem, Fractal, Service Providers or any of their corporate affiliates, other than any rights relating to the provision and receipt of Services, subject to the applicable terms, conditions or policies that may be adopted by participants in the Ecosystem.
Tokens Migration
6.5. The Fractal Tokens will initially be created under the ERC-20 technical standard on the Ethereum protocol.
6.6. Fractal reserves the right to migrate the ERC20-based ICTs (the “Pre-existing Tokens”) to another protocol and to generate replacement Tokens on the new protocol (the “Replacement Tokens”) in the future, should Fractal determine, in Fractal’s sole discretion, that doing so is necessary or useful to the operation of the Ecosystem.
6.7. Although Fractal does not at this time anticipate that it will require any Pre-existing Token holders to convert their Pre-existing Tokens to Replacement Tokens, Fractal anticipates there will be significant incentives for Pre-existing Token holders to do so, since the practical utility of Pre-existing Tokens will likely diminish rapidly once the
7
Effective Date: 15 February 2021
Replacement Tokens are created and in use by a significant portion of Ecosystem participants. Accordingly, by accepting these T&Cs the Participant acknowledges and agrees that in order for the Participant to continue to participate on the Ecosystem or obtain utility from the Tokens, the Participant may need to convert the Tokens the Participant purchased during the Token Sale to Replacement Tokens in the future.
7. Transfer of Tokens and Assignment
7.1. The Participant may transfer Tokens to third parties without Fractal’s consent. 7.2. Any obligations or covenants of Fractal in this T&Cs are solely obligations or covenants to the Participant in its capacity of Participant of Tokens in the Token Sale. Such obligations or covenants may not attach or transfer with the transfer of any Tokens. The Participant may not assign any of their rights or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this T&Cs (Ausschluss der Abtretung, § 399 BGB).
7.3. Fractal may, without notice to the Participant, freely assign, delegate, sub-contract or otherwise transfer its rights and obligations under these T&C to any related corporation, affiliate, or company with whom Fractal may merge or transfer its assets and undertakings.
8. Taxes
8.1. The Participant hereby agrees to be fully responsible for its own tax affairs, including, without limitation, any tax liability associated with or arising from the purchase of the Tokens. Accordingly, the Participant shall be responsible for calculating, collecting, declaring, bearing and paying all taxes, duties, imposts, levies, tariffs and surcharges that might be imposed by the laws and regulations of any jurisdiction as a result of or in connection with the Participant’s participation in the Token Sale and the receipt, holding, use, purchase or trading of the Tokens.
8.2. Save to the minimum extent required by the applicable laws, Fractal shall have no responsibility to collect, report or remit any applicable taxes in connection with these T&C, the Token Sale and the Tokens.
8.3. The Participant must provide all information requested by Fractal or which may be necessary for determining taxable status of payments made by Fractal including information evidencing the tax residency of the Participant. All such information must be updated, accurate and complete.
8.4. The Participant hereby agrees to fully indemnify, defend and hold the Protected Parties harmless from any and all claims, demands, damages, awards, fines, costs, expenses and liability in any way associated with the foregoing obligations or otherwise with respect to any claim, demand or allegation of any tax in any way associated with these T&C, the Token Sale and the Tokens.

9.2.4. The Tokens do not represent a debt or equity interest in Fractal and a purchase of Tokens is not akin to making an investment in or with Fractal;
9.2.5. The Participant is purchasing Tokens solely for the purpose of participating in the Ecosystem, and supporting the development, testing, deployment and operation of the Ecosystem. The Participant is not purchasing Tokens for any other purposes, including, but not limited to, any investment, speculative or financial purpose.
9.2.6. The Tokens are meant to be used as means of payment within the Ecosystem and, therefore, any potential future use of the Tokens in connection with the provision and receipt of Services within the Ecosystem will be possible if and when the Ecosystem is successfully deployed;
9.2.7. The Participant is not subject to the laws of any jurisdiction the laws of which prohibit, restrict, curtail, hinder, impair, conflict or otherwise adversely affect the purchase of the Tokens;

9.3. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this T&Cs, neither Party makes any representation or extends any warranty of any kind, either express or implied, to the other Party with respect to any technology or other subject matter of this T&Cs and hereby disclaims all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement of intellectual property rights of third-parties with respect to any and all of the foregoing. In particular, the Participant agrees and acknowledges to purchase the Tokens on an “as is” and “under development” basis. THEREFORE, PROVIDED THAT FRACTAL ACTS IN GOOD FAITH, THE PARTICIPANT ACCEPTS THAT FRACTAL IS SELLING THE TOKENS WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE ANY WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, IN RELATION TO THE TOKENS AND/OR THE ECOSYSTEM, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

10.2. In other cases – unless otherwise stipulated in Clause 10.5 – Fractal shall be liable only in the event of breach of principal contractual duties (Kardinalpflichten), for predictable, typically occurring damages. A principal contractual obligation is an obligation the fulfilment of which is essential for proper execution of the contract, the breach of which jeopardizes reaching the contractual object and on observance of which the other party to the contract may duly rely.
10
Effective Date: 15 February 2021
10.3. The limitations pursuant to the preceding Clauses 10.1 and 10.2 also apply to the Fractal’s legal representatives and assistants if claims are asserted directly against them. 10.4. The limitations pursuant to the preceding Clauses 10.1 and 10.2 do not apply insofar as Fractal fraudulently concealed a defect or assumed a guarantee for the quality of the Tokens.
10.5. Liability for a culpable damage to life, body and health and liability under the German Product Liability Act and Art. 82 GDPR remains unaffected by the preceding limitations. 10.6. In all other cases, Fractal’s liability towards the Participant is excluded.

When processing personal data, Fractal complies with the applicable statutory provisions, as further detailed in Fractal’s privacy policy published at: https://fractal.id/documents/de17561a18c921919677661e8c216f7a/privacy-policy.pdf.
12. Intellectual Property Rights
12.1. All Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Website, the Ecosystem and the Tokens, including their constituent elements, shall at all times belong to Fractal and the respective third party proprietors (as the case may be). Save as set out in Clause 12.2, no Intellectual Property Rights are granted directly, by implication or otherwise by Fractal or the relevant third party proprietor.
12.2.

The amended document shall become effective immediately from the time of posting. Verbal collateral agreements do not exist.
14.4. Severance. In case one or more of the provisions contained in this T&Cs including its Annexes shall, for any reason, be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this T&C as a whole. The invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a valid, legal and enforceable provision that in legal and economic terms comes closest to what the Parties would have intended if they had been aware of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of such provision.
14.5. Entire Agreement. This T&C (and the documents referred to herein) set forth their entire agreement with respect to the sale and purchase of the Tokens during the Token Sale. These T&Cs shall supersede and extinguish all previous agreements, promises, assurances, warranties, representations and understandings between the Parties, whether written or not, relating to its subject matter. HOWEVER, PURCHASES OF TOKENS MADE DURING OTHER STAGES OF THE SALE OF TOKENS ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENTS ENTERED INTO BETWEEN FRACTAL AND THE PURCHASERS. THIS T&C ONLY GOVERN THE PURCHASE OF TOKENS DURING THE TOKEN SALE.

To this effect, they shall consult and negotiate with each other in good faith and, recognizing their mutual interests, attempt to reach a just and equitable solution satisfactory to both Parties.

Exhibit A
Risk Factors
A. Successful deployment of the Ecosystem
There is a risk that Fractal is unable to successfully deploy the Ecosystem. Although Fractal is committed to doing so, the project is still at a very early stage and its completion may be prevented by a number of factors such as lack of funding and technical or regulatory issues.
B. Key Personnel
There is a risk that key team members of Fractal, who’s know-how and experience are essential to a successful development and deployment of the Ecosystem, leave Fractal thereby compromising the success of the project.
C. Regulatory risk
There is a risk that in some jurisdictions the Tokens may be considered illegal or regulated by special legislation or that in the future the Tokens are considered illegal or subject to the regulation of special legislation. Fractal does not guarantee that the Tokens are legal in all jurisdictions. The Participant solely bears all legal or financial consequences if the Tokens are considered a security or deemed illegal in the Participant’s respective jurisdiction. The Participant is obliged to verify whether the acquisition and disposal of the Tokens is legal in their jurisdiction, and by accepting the provisions of this T&Cs, the Participant agrees not to use the Tokens in case their use is considered not legal. Ownership of cryptographic tokens (and exchanging them for other cryptographic tokens) and Blockchain technology are carefully studied by regulators around the world; this may lead to any unpredictable consequences including but not limited to restrictions on use or ownership of digital tokens, such as the Tokens, which may impede or restrict existence, acceptability or value of such tokens.
Additional, changes in the legal treatment of the Tokens could adversely affect the envisaged business model for the Ecosystem, therefore making it unviable. Particularly, Fractal does not have any official confirmation by any regulatory authority regarding the legal classification of the Tokens and eventual regulatory implications of its issuance and sale, nor regarding the eventual regulatory impact of the development of the Ecosystem. Later assessments carried out by regulatory authorities regarding the Tokens and/or the Ecosystem may adversely affect the development of the Ecosystem or cause the suspension or cancellation of the Token Sale.
Fractal refers to the warnings issued by financial regulators regarding the acquisition of tokens. In particular, Fractal refers to the warnings published by the German Federal

Financial Supervisory Authority (“BaFin”) and the European Securities and Markets Authority (“Esma”).
D. Tax risks
It is the responsibility of the Participant to evaluate the tax consequences of purchasing, holding, using and selling the Tokens.
E. Risks Associated with blockchain technology
a. Smart contracts
There is a risk that any smart contract used for the distribution of the Tokens contains security gaps, errors or dysfunctionalities which may adversely affect the distribution and use of the Tokens.
b. Private keys and smart contract control
The Participant is solely responsible for the secure storage and administration of their private keys of the wallet in which the Tokens are held. Loss of the private keys can lead to irretrievable loss of the Tokens.
c. Ethereum Protocol
The Tokens are based on Ethereum protocol. Thus, a malfunction, unintended function, or unforeseen operation of the Ethereum protocol may cause the Tokens to become defective or function unexpectedly or unintentionally. More information about Ethereum can be found at www.ethereum.org. The same is applicable to networks in which Replacement Tokens are based.
d. Risks of Theft and Hacking
Hackers or other groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with the Participant’s wallets, the Ecosystem or the Tokens in variety of ways, including but not limited to denial of service attacks, Sybil attacks, spoofing, smurfing, malicious attacks or consensus-based attacks, which may result, e.g., in Tokens being stolen or inaccessible without change of recovery. Blockchains are exposed to mining attacks which may put the smart contract at risk.
e. Risk of Security Vulnerabilities in the Source Code of the Tokens or any Associated Software and / or Infrastructure
