3.2 NodeTerminal offers a range of advanced services and features designed to maximize Users' operational efficiency, including:
Launchpad:
A launchpad exclusively focused on selling node licenses, providing a platform where Web3 projects (node providers) can sell node licenses and users can purchase them.Advanced features to streamline the node license sale process, ensuring an optimized experience for both node providers and purchasers.A platform designed to meet the specific needs of node sales, as opposed to traditional launchpads that focus on token sales.
Node-as-a-Service:
A Node-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform that simplifies node operations for users who own node licenses. Tools for managing wallets, setting up nodes, deploying nodes on servers, and maintaining nodes to ensure they are running smoothly and earning rewards. An intuitive interface that allows users to deploy and run nodes with just a few clicks, eliminating the need for deep technical knowledge or constant monitoring.

Each node provider may implement a whitelisting process based on different factors which will be decided and explained by the node provider for each sale.This whitelisting process allows predetermined participants to have priority in purchasing node licenses, offering them an early opportunity to acquire the licenses before other users.
3.6 The sale operates on a whitelist mechanism, wherein Whitelisted Users are selected based on a combination of a lottery-based system and additional criteria established by the node provider. These criteria may encompass, but are not limited to, holding specific tokens, engaging in social media activities that promote the node provider, and aiding in outreach efforts to attract more supporters. Upon the conclusion of the whitelisting process, Users will be notified of their eligibility to participate in the purchase.

7. Acknowledgement and Assumption of Risks
7.1 By engaging with our App, you acknowledge and assume the inherent risks associated with the buying, holding and trading in cryptographic tokens, blockchain technology, and DLT field. Risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Market Risk. The market for cryptographic tokens is still new and uncertain. You should only have funds invested in cryptographic tokens or speculate in cryptographic tokens if you are prepared to lose the entirety of such tokens invested. Whether the market for one or more cryptographic tokens will move up or down, or whether a particular token will lose all or substantially all of its value, is unknown. You should be cautious about holding cryptographic tokens. We do not invite or make any offer to acquire, purchase, sell, transfer, or otherwise deal in any crypto asset. You are solely responsible and liable for any and all node licenses purchases, running nodes, trading and non-trading activity on or through the App and for any gains and losses sustained when using the Services.
Liquidity and Listing Risk. Markets for cryptographic tokens have varying degrees of liquidity. Some are quite liquid while others may be thinner. Thin markets can amplify volatility. There is never a guarantee that there will be an active market for one to sell, buy, or trade cryptographic tokens or products derived from or ancillary to them. We make no representations or warranties about whether a cryptographic token that may be staked via the App will be traded on or through the App at any point in the future, if at all.
Trading Risk. In addition to liquidity risks, values in any digital token marketplace are volatile and can shift quickly. You should pay close attention to your position and holdings, and how they may be impacted by sudden and adverse shifts in trading and other market activities. You also acknowledge and agree that the cost of transacting on blockchain technology is variable and may increase at any time. You acknowledge and agree to these risks and represent that we cannot be held liable for changes and fluctuations in value or increased costs.
Legal Risk. The legal status of certain cryptographic tokens is uncertain. This can mean that the legality of holding or trading them is not always clear. Whether and how one or more cryptographic tokens constitute property, or assets, or rights of any kind may also seem unclear. You are responsible for knowing and understanding how cryptographic tokens are addressed, regulated, and taxed under laws that apply to you.
Technology Failure Risks. Risks associated with using an internet-based currency are: risk of hardware, software, and internet connection failure or problems, risk of malicious software introduction, and risk of third parties obtaining unauthorized access to infrastructure stored within your Wallet. You accept and acknowledge that we will not be responsible for any communications failures, disruptions, errors, distortions, or delays when connecting your Wallet and using the Ethereum network or any chain or similar device for processing transactions, however caused. You agree and acknowledge that we do not represent or warrant that any of the Services or the App are secure from hacker or other malicious attacks, which may result in the stealing or loss of User confidential information or any other data. You acknowledge that we will not be responsible for and will not replace any tokens lost due to third-party malicious acts or due to other circumstances beyond our control.
The Services-related risks. You acknowledge the risks of using the Services. You bear sole responsibility for evaluating the Services before using them, and all transactions accessed through the Services are irreversible, final, and without refunds. The Services may be disabled, disrupted, or adversely impacted as a result of sophisticated cyber-attacks, surges in activity, computer viruses, and/or other operational or technical challenges, among other things. We disclaim any ongoing obligation to notify you of all of the potential risks of using and accessing our Services. You agree to accept these risks and agree that you will not seek to hold us responsible for any consequent losses.
Quality or accessibility risks. As a condition to accessing or using the App or the Services, you acknowledge, understand, and agree that from time to time, the App and the Services may be inaccessible or inoperable for any reason, including, but not limited to equipment malfunctions, periodic maintenance procedures or repairs, causes beyond our control or that we could not reasonably foresee, disruptions, and temporary or permanent unavailability of underlying blockchain infrastructure or unavailability of third-party service providers or external partners for any reason.
Novel technology risks. Blockchain technology or distributed ledger technology-related projects are new and relatively untested and outside of our exclusive control. You acknowledge and agree that cryptography is a progressing field and that there are risks we cannot foresee and it is unreasonable to believe that such risks could have been foreseeable. Advances in code cracking or technical advances may present risks to smart contracts, cryptographic tokens, and the App, which could result in theft or loss of your cryptographic tokens or property, among other potential consequences. By using the Services you acknowledge and agree to undertake these risks.
Please note that this statement serves as a general description of risks associated with blockchain technology, DLT field, and cryptographic tokens and should not be considered exhaustive. It is essential to conduct thorough research and seek professional advice to fully understand the risks involved before engaging in activities related to cryptographic tokens or blockchain technology.
