We can give no assurance that any forward-looking statements will prove to have been correct. Actual events, results or outcomes could differ materially from what is stated in the forward-looking statement, and you should not rely on any such forward-looking statement. These risks and uncertainties include the impact of economic, competitive, technical and other factors affecting Oiler Platform, Oiler DeFi or its operations, including, but not limited to, the following: development of science and technology, development of the industry in which Oiler DeFi is in, competition, regulatory uncertainty and government actions, the introduction of new regulations and laws, market changes, the performance of Oiler Platform, related software or products, other business and market conditions.

Risks Disclosure Statement

Oiler Platform is in its Beta Stage

Oiler Platform and related software (including blockchain smart-contracts and other blockchain software) are in their beta stage, which means that they are experimental. Oiler Platform and related software are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, including, without limitation, warranties that they are free of defects, vulnerabilities, merchantable, fit for a particular purpose or non-infringing. Any use of the Oiler Platform and related software shall be at your own risk. In no event shall Oiler DeFi be held liable in connection with or for any claims, losses, damages or other liabilities, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with the Oiler Platform, Oiler Protocol, their operation or use.

Risk of Software Weaknesses

Although we make reasonable efforts to ensure that the Oiler Platform and related software follow the high-security standards, we do not warrant or represent that the Oiler Platform or related software are secure or safe, or protected from fishing, malware or other malicious attacks. Further, Oiler Platform and related software may contain weaknesses, bugs, vulnerabilities, viruses or other defects which may have a material adverse effect on the operation of the Oiler Platform or related software, or may lead to losses and damages for you, other users or third persons.

Risk Inherent in the Blockchain

Oiler Platform interacts with the Protocol deployed on the Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible blockchain network(s). As a result, any malfunction, breakdown or abandonment of such blockchain(s) may have a material adverse effect on the Oiler Platform and Protocol. Moreover, advances in cryptography, or technical advances such as the development of quantum computing, could present risks to the Oiler Platform and related blockchain software by rendering ineffective the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins the blockchain. The smart-contract concept, the underlying software and software platforms, including the blockchain networks, are still in an early development stage and unproven. Although it is very unlikely, the blockchain, as well as any other blockchain, can be attacked which may result in downtime, consensus split, long reorganisation of the chain, 51 percent attack, or other adverse outcomes each of which may lead to complete loss of your assets implemented on such blockchain network.

Risk of Flawed Logic of Oiler Platform

The underlying logic of the Oiler Platform and related software may be flawed, defective or impaired, which can result in smart-contracts operating incorrectly or not as expected, or transactions being executed in violation of logic which underpins the smart-contracts, which can lead to partial or complete loss of digital assets used in the transaction.

Risk of Legal Uncertainty

Intended activities of Oiler DeFi are subject to various laws and regulations in the countries where it operates or intends to operate. We might be obliged to obtain different licenses or other permissive documents in some or all jurisdictions where we intend to operate our business, therefore, our business in such jurisdictions shall always be subject to obtaining such licenses or permissive documents, if so directed by applicable laws. There is a risk that certain activities may be deemed in violation of any such law or regulation. Penalties for any such potential violation would be unknown. Additionally, changes in applicable laws or regulations or evolving interpretations of existing law could, in certain circumstances, result in increased compliance costs or capital expenditures, which could affect our ability to carry on the business model and develop the Oiler Platform and/or Oiler Protocol.

Risk of Theft

We make a commercially reasonable effort to ensure that any transactions carried out via or on the Oiler Platform and Oiler Protocol are secure. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, there is no assurance that there will be no theft of the digital assets as a result of hacks, sophisticated cyber-attacks, distributed denials of service or errors, double-spent attacks, flash-loan attacks, vulnerabilities or defects of the Oiler Platform, Oiler Protocol, or related software, of the Ethereum or any other blockchain, or otherwise. Such events may include, for example, flaws in programming or source code leading to exploitation or abuse thereof. Any of the above may lead to partial or complete theft or loss of digital assets used in transactions carried out on the Oiler Platform or Oiler Protocol.
