1. DEFINITIONS

For the purposes of this Disclaimer:

"BLOK" refers to the cryptographic governance token issued by the BLOK project (the "Project").

"Bdollar" refers to the non-tokenized in-game currency used exclusively within the BLOK ecosystem.

"NFT(s)" refer to non-fungible tokens that may be used in or outside of the game for gameplay, cosmetic, or utility purposes.

"Smart Contracts" refer to deployed or future blockchain-based code that interacts with BLOK tokens, NFTs, or game mechanics.

"Participant" or "You" refers to any person, entity, or wallet address that contributes digital assets in exchange for BLOK tokens.

2. NATURE OF THE TOKEN

BLOK is a utility and governance token intended solely for use within the BLOK ecosystem. It does not represent equity, debt, profit-sharing, dividends, voting rights in any legal entity, or any legally enforceable rights or entitlements beyond the in-game and on-chain functionality explicitly offered.

BLOK is not, and shall not be construed as, a security, financial instrument, commodity, or derivative, and participation in the presale is not an investment contract or solicitation thereof. No regulatory body has reviewed or approved this offering.

3. PARTICIPATION IS AT YOUR OWN RISK

By participating in the presale or otherwise acquiring BLOK, you acknowledge that:

• You are engaging in a high-risk, experimental, and highly volatile endeavor.
• You may lose the entire value of your contribution with no right to refund or compensation.
• BLOK tokens may have no market value, no utility, and may never be listed on any exchange.
• The BLOK game, platform, or ecosystem may never be fully developed, launched, or maintained, whether due to financial, regulatory, operational, or technical obstacles.
• You are acquiring BLOK tokens without reliance on any past, present, or future representations or promises of utility, appreciation, revenue generation, or ecosystem functionality.

4. NO GUARANTEE OF PROJECT DELIVERY OR PERFORMANCE

You understand and accept that:

• The development of the BLOK game and ecosystem is subject to multiple risk factors, including but not limited to: technical failure, funding shortfalls, developer departure, legal challenges, third-party interference, force majeure events, or economic infeasibility.
• There is no guarantee that the Project will be completed, delivered, or maintained, nor that any specific feature, NFT functionality, staking mechanism, marketplace, or play-to-earn component will function as originally intended or at all.
• The team may pivot, abandon, freeze, or re-deploy contracts or tokens at its sole discretion, with or without community input or notification.

5. NON-FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT REPRESENTATION

You expressly acknowledge that:

• BLOK tokens do not represent a claim against any entity, developer, DAO, treasury, or underlying asset.
• Holding BLOK does not entitle you to governance control, profit share, distributions, or enforceable rights of any kind beyond the game's internal mechanics, which may change over time.
• Bdollar is not a cryptocurrency, token, or redeemable currency. It is an off-chain utility score/currency with no monetary value and cannot be withdrawn or traded outside the game.
• NFTs issued in the BLOK ecosystem may be rendered unusable, non-transferable, or illiquid due to in-game mechanics, technical changes, or smart contract upgrades.
