Protections offered by applicable law in relation to the purchase and offering of the aforementioned financial instruments and/or investments do not apply to the purchase of $FORA tokens or NFTs and neither these terms and conditions nor the Litepaper constitutes a prospectus or offering document, and are not an offer to sell, nor the solicitation of an offer to buy, any investment or financial instrument in any jurisdiction. $FORA tokens and NFTs should not be acquired for speculative or investment purposes with the expectation of making a profit on immediate reoffering.
