Price and Discounts: The token sale features a dynamic pricing structure that ranges from $0.0091 to $0.01026 per token, depending on how early participants join. This pricing is part of our early bird incentivization model, designed to reward early participants with better pricing..

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.
15. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration
READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS. IT CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
Informal Process First. You and Foundation agree that in the event of any dispute between you and the Foundation Persons, either party will first contact the other party and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation, any court action, after first allowing the receiving party 30 days in which to respond. Both you and Foundation agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent which must be satisfied before initiating any arbitration against the other party. Nothing in this clause shall prevent a party from seeking interim or provisional relief where it is reasonably necessary to do so.
Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver. After the informal dispute resolution process, any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) relating in any way to the Website, the Services and any usage of the Bridge Contracts, will be resolved by arbitration, including threshold questions of arbitrability of the Claim, and except as otherwise set forth in below. You and Foundation agree that any Claim will be settled by final and binding arbitration, using the English language, administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”) then in effect (those rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this section, and as of the date of these Terms). Legislation concerning arbitration may govern the arbitrability of all disputes in an applicable jurisdiction. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with such legislation and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit. The arbitration will be handled by a sole arbitrator appointed in accordance with the JAMS Rules and the seat of the arbitration shall be Bucharest, Romania. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis – class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. You understand that by agreeing to these Terms, you and Foundation are each waiving any right to participate in a class action or class arbitration.
Batch Arbitration. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and Foundation agree that in the event that there are one-hundred (100) or more individual Claims of a substantially similar nature filed against Foundation Persons by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, then within a thirty (30) day period (or as soon as possible thereafter), JAMS shall (i) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 Claims per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than 100 Claims left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining Claims); (ii) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (iii) provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award (“Batch Arbitration”). All parties agree that Claims are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. To the extent the parties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing party shall advise JAMS, and JAMS shall appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (“Administrative Arbitrator”). In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly. The Administrative Arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by Foundation. You and Foundation agree to cooperate in good faith with JAMS to implement the Batch Arbitration process including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of Claims, as well as any steps to minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include: (A) the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and (B) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the arbitration proceedings. This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective and/or mass arbitration or action of any kind, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly set forth in this provision.
Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and Foundation agree that the following types of disputes will be resolved in a court of proper jurisdiction: (i) disputes or claims within the jurisdiction the Summary Court of the Cayman Islands consistent with the jurisdictional and value limits that may apply, as long as it is brought and maintained as an individual dispute and not as a class, representative, or consolidated action or proceeding; (ii) disputes or claims where the sole form of relief sought is injunctive relief (including public injunctive relief); or (iii) intellectual property disputes.
Costs of Arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator costs and expenses will be governed by the JAMS Rules, except that if you demonstrate that any such costs and expenses owed by you under those rules would be prohibitively more expensive than a court proceeding, Foundation will pay the amount of any such costs and expenses that the arbitrator determines are necessary to prevent the arbitration from being prohibitively more expensive than a court proceeding (subject to possible reimbursement as set forth below). Fees and costs may be awarded as provided pursuant to applicable law. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the applicable standards set forth in civil procedures), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the JAMS rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Foundation for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the applicable rules. If you prevail in the arbitration and are awarded an amount that is less than the last written settlement amount offered by Foundation before the arbitrator was appointed, Foundation will pay you the amount awarded in the arbitration. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
WAIVER OF RIGHT TO BRING CLASS ACTION AND REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS.To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and the Organization each agree that except as expressly set forth in the Section regarding Batch Arbitration, any proceeding to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy will be brought and conducted ONLY IN THE RESPECTIVE PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS PART OF ANY CLASS (OR PURPORTED CLASS), CONSOLIDATED, MULTIPLE-PLAINTIFF, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING (“CLASS ACTION”). You and FOUNDATION AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS ACTION. You AND FOUNDATION EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY ABILITY TO MAINTAIN A CLASS ACTION IN ANY FORUM. If the dispute is subject to arbitration, then except as expressly set forth in Section 8(d) (Batch Arbitration), THE ARBITRATOR WILL NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO COMBINE OR AGGREGATE CLAIMS, CONDUCT A CLASS ACTION, OR MAKE AN AWARD TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY NOT A PARTY TO THE ARBITRATION. Further, you and Foundation agree that except as expressly set forth in the Section regarding Batch Arbitration, the ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE PROCEEDINGS FOR MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND IT MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CLASS ACTION. For the avoidance of doubt, however, you can seek public injunctive relief to the extent authorized by law and consistent with the Exceptions clause above.
IF THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS LIMITED, VOIDED, OR FOUND UNENFORCEABLE, THEN, UNLESS THE PARTIES MUTUALLY AGREE OTHERWISE, THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE SHALL BE NULL AND VOID WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING SO LONG AS THE PROCEEDING IS PERMITTED TO PROCEED AS A CLASS ACTION. If a court decides that the limitations of this paragraph are deemed invalid or unenforceable, any putative class, private attorney general, or consolidated or representative action must be brought in a court of proper jurisdiction and not in arbitration.
16. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the British Virgin Islands, without regard to conflict of laws principles. Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the British Virgin Islands.
17. Severability

18. Miscellaneous
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us relating to your purchase of Tokens from us. We may make changes to these Terms from time to time as reasonably required to comply with applicable law or regulation. If we make changes, we will post the amended Terms at https://www.superseed.xyz/ and include the date of the update. The amended Terms will be effective immediately. We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. We will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under these Terms where the delay or failure results from any cause beyond our reasonable control. Purchasing Tokens from us does not create any form of partnership, joint venture or any other similar relationship between you and us. Except as otherwise provided in herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of you and us and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity. You agree and acknowledge that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you, including these Terms, will be provided in electronic form.
SCHEDULE 1 - RISK DISCLOSURES
- Risk of Losing Access to Tokens Due to Wallet Incompatibility: A valid Ethereum address from a native token compatible wallet is required to receive your Tokens. Non-compatible wallet addresses will not be accepted. In addition, the Ethereum address used must not be associated with a third-party exchange or service that has custody over the private key (e.g. Coinbase, etc.). You must own the private key if your address is an exchange address.
- Risks Associated with the Ethereum Blockchain: The Tokens and the Platform operate on the Ethereum blockchain. As such, any malfunction, unintended function, unexpected functioning of or attack on the Ethereum blockchain may cause the Platform or the Tokens to malfunction or function in an unexpected or unintended manner. Ethereum may be the target of malicious attacks seeking to identify and exploit weaknesses in the software, which may result in the loss or theft of Tokens. For example, if the Tokens and the Ethereum blockchain are subject to unknown and/or known security attacks (such as double-spend attacks, 51% attacks, or other malicious attacks), such attacks may materially and adversely affect the Platform and the utility of the Tokens.
- Risks Associated with Purchaser Credentials: Any third party that gains access to or learns of your wallet credentials or private keys may be able to dispose of your Tokens. To minimize this risk, you should guard against unauthorized access to your electronic devices. Best practices dictate that you safely store private keys in one or more backup locations geographically separated from the working location. In addition, you are responsible for giving us the correct Token Receipt Address to send you your Tokens. If you give us the incorrect Token Receipt Address to send your Tokens to, we are not responsible for any loss of Tokens that may occur.
- Risk of Unknowable or Unfavorable Regulatory Action in One or More Jurisdictions: Regulation of tokens (including the Tokens), token offerings, or SAFT offerings, cryptocurrencies, blockchain technologies, and cryptocurrency exchanges is not yet mature and likely to rapidly evolve, varies significantly among international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, and is subject to significant uncertainty. Various legislative and executive bodies in the United States and in other countries may in the future adopt laws, regulations, guidance, or other actions, which may severely impact the development and growth of the Platform and the adoption and utility of the Tokens. Failure by Foundation or certain users of the Platform to comply with any laws, rules, and regulations, some of which may not exist yet or are subject to interpretation and may be subject to change, could result in a variety of adverse consequences, including civil penalties and fines. As distributed ledger networks and distributed ledger assets have grown in popularity and in market size, federal and state agencies have begun to take an interest in and, in some cases, regulate their use and operation. To the extent that a domestic government or quasi-governmental agency exerts regulatory authority over a distributed ledger network or asset, the Platform and Tokens may be materially and adversely affected. Distributed ledger networks also face an uncertain regulatory landscape in many jurisdictions such as the United States, the European Union, China, and Russia. Various foreign jurisdictions may, in the near future, adopt laws, regulations or directives that affect the Platform. Such laws, regulations or directives may be in conflict with each other or may directly and negatively impact our business. The effect of any future regulatory change is impossible to predict, but such change could be substantial and materially adverse to the development and growth of the Platform and the adoption and utility of the Tokens. New or changing laws and regulations or interpretations of existing laws and regulations, in the United States and other jurisdictions, may materially and adversely impact the value of the currency in which the Tokens may be exchanged, the liquidity and use of the Tokens, and the structure, rights, and transferability of Tokens.
- Risk of Alternative Platform: It is possible that alternative platforms could be established that utilize the same or similar open-source code underlying the Platform and attempt to facilitate services that are materially similar to the services on the Platform. The Platform may compete with these alternative platforms, which could negatively impact the Platform and the Tokens.
- Risk of Insufficient Interest in the Platform: It is possible that the Platform will not be used by a large number of businesses, individuals, and other organizations and that there will be limited public interest in purchasing Tokens. Because the success of the Platform also depends, in part, on the growth and adoption of the use of the Ethereum blockchain, such a lack of interest could negatively impact Tokens and the Platform.
- Risk that the Platform, as Developed, Will Not Meet the Expectations of Foundation or the Purchaser: The Platform may undergo significant changes over time. Moreover, we may limit control over how other participants will use the Platform, what services may be offered through the Platform by third parties, or how third-party services will utilize the Tokens (if at all). This could create the risk that Tokens or the Platform may not meet your expectations at the time of purchase, for any number of reasons including mistaken assumptions or analysis, a change in the design and implementation plans, and execution of the Platform. Furthermore, despite our good faith efforts to develop, complete, and participate in the Platform, it is still possible that the Platform will experience malfunctions or otherwise fail to be adequately developed or maintained, which may negatively impact the Platform and Tokens, and your Tokens may become useless due to technical, commercial, regulatory or any other reasons.
- Risk of Unfavorable Fluctuation of USDC and Other Currency Value: The Company team intends to use the proceeds from selling Tokens to fund general corporate purposes, [as described further in the White Paper]. The proceeds of the Token Sale will be denominated in USDC and converted into other cryptographic and fiat currencies. If the value of USDC or other currencies fluctuates unfavorably during or after the Token Sale, the Company team may not be able to maintain the Platform in the manner that it intended.
- Risks from Taxation: The tax characterization of Tokens is uncertain. You must seek your own tax advice in connection with the acquisition, storage, transfer, and use of Tokens, which may result in adverse tax consequences to you, including, without limitation, withholding taxes, transfer taxes, value added taxes, income taxes and similar taxes, levies, duties, or other charges and tax reporting requirements.
- Risk of Theft and Hacking: Hackers or other groups or organizations or countries may attempt to interfere with the Platform or the availability of Tokens in any number of ways, including service attacks, denial of service attacks, Sybil attacks, spoofing, smurfing malware attacks, or consensus-based attacks, or phishing, or other novel methods that may or may not be known to steal Tokens. Any such successful attacks could result in theft or loss of your payment of USDC or your Tokens, adversely impacting the ability to develop the Platform and derive any usage or functionality from the Tokens.
- Risk of Security Weaknesses in the Platform Core Infrastructure Software: The Platform will operate using open-source software maintained by Foundation and other contributors. As an open-source project, some core infrastructure elements of the Platform may not be represented, maintained, or monitored by an official organization or authority. The open-source nature of such software means that it may be difficult for Foundation or contributors to maintain or develop it and Foundation may not have adequate resources to address emerging issues or malicious programs that develop within the Platform or its core infrastructure software adequately or in a timely manner. Third parties not affiliated with Foundation may introduce weaknesses or bugs into the core infrastructure elements of the Platform and open-source code which may negatively impact the Platform. Such events may result in a loss of trust in the security and operation of the Platform, and a decline in user activity and could negatively impact the Tokens.
- Risk of Software Weaknesses or Exploitable Breakthroughs in the Field of Cryptography: Advances in cryptography, or technical advances such as the development of quantum computers, could present risks to Tokens and the Platform by rendering ineffective the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins the Ethereum blockchain. Smart contracts and their underlying software application are still in an early development stage and may be unproven. There is no warranty or assurance that the process for obtaining or using Tokens will be uninterrupted or error-free, and there is an inherent risk that the software could contain defects, weaknesses, vulnerabilities, viruses, or bugs causing, inter alia, the complete loss of any USDC you contribute, the theft or loss of your Tokens, or a reduction in the utility of your Tokens.
- Risk of Lack of Adoption or Use of the Platform: While Tokens should not be viewed as an investment, it may have value over time due to its utility on the Platform. That value may be limited or non-existent if the Platform lacks use and adoption. If this becomes the case, there may be few or no markets in which Tokens may be sold following the launch of the Platform, potentially having an adverse impact on Tokens.
- Risk of an Illiquid Market for SUPR: Foundation is not aware of any marketplace for Tokens and does not yet support a marketplace for Tokens. There may never be any such marketplace for Tokens. There are currently no exchanges upon which Tokens would trade. If such exchanges ever do develop, they may be relatively new and subject to poorly understood regulatory oversight. Such exchanges may, therefore, be more exposed to fraud and failure than established, regulated exchanges for other products, and such exposure may have a negative impact on Tokens. Furthermore, to the extent that third parties do ascribe an external exchange value to Tokens (e.g. as denominated in a crypto or fiat currency), such value may be extremely volatile and diminish to zero. You should not purchase Tokens as a form of investment on a speculative basis or otherwise, or for a financial purpose, with the expectation or desire that their inherent, intrinsic, or cash-equivalent value may increase over time. You assume all risks associated with such speculation or actions and any errors associated therewith, and you accept that Tokens are not offered by Foundation or its affiliates on an investment basis or for such purpose. You further acknowledge that any funds that you consider to be invested in Tokens will not be protected, guaranteed, or reimbursed by any governmental, regulatory, or other entity.
- Risk of Uninsured Losses: Unlike bank accounts or accounts at some other financial institutions, funds held using the Platform or Ethereum blockchain are generally uninsured. In the event of any loss, there is no public insurer, such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or private insurer, to offer recourse to the purchaser.
- Risk of Dissolution of the Project: It is possible that, due to any number of reasons, including, but not limited to, a decrease in Token utility due to (i) negative adoption of the Platform, (ii) an unfavorable fluctuation in the value of USDC (or other cryptographic and fiat currencies), (iii) the failure of commercial relationships, or (iv) intellectual property ownership challenges, the Platform may no longer be viable to operate, and the project may dissolve.
- Risk of Malfunction in the Network: It is possible that the Platform malfunctions in an unfavorable way, including one that results in the loss of Tokens.
- Risks Arising from Lack of Governance Rights: Because Tokens currently confer no governance rights of any kind with respect to the Platform or Foundation, all decisions involving Foundation’s products or services within the Platform or Foundation itself will be made by Foundation at its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, decisions to discontinue its products or services on the Platform, to create and sell more Tokens for use on the Platform, or to sell or liquidate Foundation. These decisions could adversely affect the Platform and the utility of any Tokens you own, including their utility for obtaining services.
- Risk of Token Upgrades: The network may be subject to significant conceptual, technical and commercial changes. An upgrade to how Tokens are used may be required and, if you decide not to participate in such an upgrade, you may no longer be able to use your Tokens, and any non-upgraded Tokens may lose their functionality in full.
- Risks Associated with Our Intellectual Property: Foundation may consider some technology that it develops to be proprietary. Our ability to compete depends in part upon our ability to protect our rights to the technology that we develop. Foundation may also rely on trademark, copyright, and trade secret law to protect its rights. However, these laws offer only limited protection. In addition, other countries may provide Foundation with little to no intellectual property right protection. As the number of distributed ledger products and services available to consumers increase, and as the uses of such products and services overlap, companies in the industry may become subject to additional intellectual property disputes. Any litigation to protect our intellectual property rights would be expensive, time-consuming, and unpredictable. Such litigation could adversely affect our business, including our financial condition, regardless of the outcome. There can be no assurances that any steps taken to protect intellectual property rights will be successful in deterring misappropriation or independent third-party development of our technology. Similarly, third parties may assert infringement and misappropriation claims against us. Regardless of the merit, these actions could distract management from our business and adversely affect our financial condition and operating revenues. Foundation may need to enter into confidentiality agreements with its consultants, business partners and investors in an attempt to protect Foundation’s proprietary rights. Nevertheless, these attempts to protect our proprietary rights may be inadequate. If Foundation is unable to protect its intellectual property, the utility of the Tokens may decline or diminish and the Platform may fail.
- Risks Associated with Data Privacy Laws: There are a number of data protection, security, privacy and other government- and industry-specific requirements, including those that require companies to notify individuals of data security incidents involving certain types of personal data. Security compromises could harm the Platform’s reputation, erode user confidence in the effectiveness of its security measures, negatively impact its ability to attract new users, or cause existing users to stop using the Platform, which would reduce or diminish the utility of the Tokens and cause the Platform to fail.
- Unanticipated Risks: Cryptographic tokens are a relatively new and untested technology. In addition to the risks discussed in these Terms, there are risks that Foundation cannot anticipate. Further risks may materialize as unanticipated combinations or variations of the discussed risks or the emergence of new risks.
