1. PURPOSE AND USE OF V3 AVA Tokens

a. The purpose of the V3 AVA Tokens is to participate in the multifaceted ecosystem of the AVA token (the “AVA Ecosystem”). One of the AVA Ecosystem’s participants is the blockchain-based travel booking platform Travala (the “Travala Platform”), as detailed on the Travala website at www.travala.com (the “Travala Website”), which provides booking services for accommodation, flights and activities. The various services provided on the Travala Website and any future services that may be offered as use cases for the Tokens as part of the AVA Ecosystem may hereinafter be collectively referred to as “Services”. The Tokens can be used in connection with the Services under these T&Cs and only constitute a transferable representation of attributed functions of the Services.

b. For the avoidance of doubt, the Travala Platform is a blockchain-based travel booking platform based on smart contracts operated by TravelFront, a limited liability company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with its registered address at Harbour Place, 2nd Floor, 103 South Church Street, P.O. Box 472, George Town, Grand Cayman KY1-1106, Cayman Islands (the “Company”). For a more detailed description of the Travala Platform, please refer to the Travala Terms and Policies, which can be accessed on the Travala Website. As we have no ability to control third parties’ use of the Travala Platform, we are not responsible or liable for the Travala Platform. The Issuer and the Company make no, and disclaims all warranties and/or representations and offers no assurances (either expressed or implied) that V3 AVA Tokens will confer any actual and/or exercisable rights of use, functionality, features, purpose, or attributes in connection with the Travala Platform. 

c. The V3 AVA Tokens do not confer any rights, either express or implied, other than its intended use with AVA Ecosystem’s partners as available from time to time, subject to limitations and conditions in the Travala Terms and Policies and other AVA Ecosystem partner’s terms and policies which may be added from time to time. The V3 AVA Tokens are not intended to be a currency, security, commodity, or any other kind of financial instrument. These T&Cs do not constitute an invitation to the public (in the British Virgin Islands or otherwise) to subscribe to any securities.

2. Scope of T&Cs

b. Any use of V3 AVA Tokens in connection with providing or receiving Services on the Travala Platform will be governed solely by other applicable terms and policies, which currently include the Travala Terms and Policies. New terms or policies may be added to the Travala Terms and Policies from time to time. You affirm that you have read and understand (i) these T&Cs, (ii) the Travala Terms and Policies, and (iii) the Risk Disclosures set forth in these T&Cs.

YOU AGREE AND CERTIFY THAT TOKENS ARE NOT A SECURITY OR COMMODITY OR CURRENCY AND YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT TOKENS MAY LOSE ALL VALUE.

e. These T&Cs have been prepared in connection with the opportunity for persons that are not U.S. Persons (as defined under applicable U.S. Law) that are eligible to take part in the Token Swap (collectively, the “Eligible Investors”). You may be required to prove your status as an Eligible Investor.

f. The V3 AVA Tokens have not been and will not be a registrable asset or property under the laws of the British Virgin Islands or any foreign jurisdiction.

If a proposed acquirer of V3 AVA Tokens is a citizen, a resident of, or a person located or domiciled in, or any entity, including, without limitation, any corporation or partnership created or organized in or under the laws of a country or jurisdiction subject to any applicable sanctions or is a person otherwise prohibited from acquiring V3 AVA Tokens pursuant to the provisions of applicable law (collectively, a “Restricted Person”), such proposed acquirer of V3 AVA Tokens is not an Eligible Investor and must not acquire or attempt to acquire V3 AVA Tokens from the Issuer.

3. Principles

a. You understand and accept that while the relevant individuals and entities will make reasonable efforts to continue to develop and complete the AVA Ecosystem and/or Travala Platform, it is possible that such development may fail and your Tokens may become useless and/or valueless due to technical, commercial, regulatory, or any other reasons.

b. You understand and accept the risk that even if all or parts of the AVA Ecosystem and/or Travala Platform are successfully developed and released in full or in parts, it is possible that, due to a lack of public interest, the AVA Ecosystem and/or Travala Platform could be fully or partially abandoned, become commercially unsuccessful, or shut down for lack of interest, regulatory reasons, or any other reasons. You understand and accept that your exchange of V2 AVA Tokens for V3 AVA Tokens carries significant financial, regulatory, reputational and/or financial risks (including the complete loss of value of V3 AVA Tokens and attributed features of the AVA Ecosystem and/or Travala Platform).

c. Your V2 AVA Tokens will be replaced with V3 AVA Tokens in a direct one-to-one ratio (one V2 AVA Token per one V3 AVA Token). To the extent the provisions contained in these T&Cs or in any other document or communication contradict the ones set forth in the Travala Terms and Policies, the Travala Terms and Policies shall prevail, control and take precedence. Furthermore, neither this document nor any other document or communication may modify or add any additional obligations to the Issuer and/or any other person, entity, and/or affiliate involved with the deployment or operation of the AVA Ecosystem or Travala Platform beyond those set forth in each ecosystem partner’s terms and conditions, including but not limited to Travala and the Travala Terms and Policies.

  3. MEXC (BEP-2 V2 AVA Tokens)
  4. KuCoin (BEP-2 V2 AVA Tokens)
  5. Gate.io (BEP-2 V2 AVA Tokens)

To the extent that any other third party website, service, or smart contract offers V3 AVA Tokens during the Swap Period or facilitates the sale, exchange, or transfer of V3 AVA Tokens in any way during the Swap Period or at any time up to the release of the V3 AVA Tokens, such third party websites or services are, unless explicitly stated otherwise on the AVA Website or Travala Website, are not authorized by the Issuer, Legacy Issuer or the Company and have no relationship in any way with the Issuer, Legacy Issuer or the Company, and such V3 AVA Tokens shall be invalid.

d. Transferability of V3 AVA Tokens

(i). Notwithstanding any other provision of these T&Cs, the Issuer reserves the right to treat as void any transfer or attempted transfer of a V3 AVA Token that the Issuer reasonably believes to be unlawful for any reason.

(ii). Transferees of V3 AVA Tokens in permitted transfers shall be bound by these T&Cs and the Travala Terms and Policies. The owner of the wallet in which any Token is held will (except as otherwise required under applicable law or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction) be treated as the absolute owner of that Token for all purposes (regardless of any notice of any trust or any other interest, or the theft or loss of any private key), and neither the Issuer, the Company nor any other person will be liable for so treating that person as the absolute owner of such Token. By transferring any Token in a permitted transfer, you assign all your rights, title, and interest in the relevant Tokens to the transferee. Transfers of any V3 AVA Token shall be effective only when the time and date of the relevant transfer are included in a block on the blockchain utilised by the V3 AVA Token. If any rule of law requires written notice to effect the transfer of any V3 AVA Token, such notice is deemed to have been given as an electronic record by inclusion of the relevant transaction on a block on the blockchain utilised by the V3 AVA Token.

(iii). Protections offered by applicable law in relation to the acquisition, storage, sale, and/or transfer of the instruments and/or investments of the types referred to in Section 10.f do not apply to the transfer of V3 AVA Tokens under these T&Cs or to your storage, sale, and/or transfer of V3 AVA Tokens.

e. Excluded Contributions. The Token Swap involves only the exchange of V2 AVA Tokens for V3 AVA Tokens on a 1-for-1 basis. Any other type(s) of consideration, including any type of fiat or cryptocurrency, will not be accepted for a Token Swap. 

f. Delivery. After completion of the Token Swap (which is subject to our “Know Your Customer” (“KYC”) compliance and confirmation under Sections 7.b and Section 8 below), the account you used to exchange Tokens will be credited with the exact same number of V3 AVA Tokens from the total amount of V2 AVA Tokens you exchanged during the Token Swap (the “Swap Distribution“). All deliveries from the Swap Distribution will be made electronically. Deliveries will be made directly to the account, address, or wallet associated with your Token Swap. Your cryptocurrency wallet must possess technical infrastructure that is compatible with the receipt, storage, and transfer of the V3 AVA Token, meaning it must be compatible with the V3 AVA Tokens. Non-compatible wallet addresses will not be accepted and/or you risk losing your allocation of V3 AVA Tokens if you use a non-compatible wallet. In addition, your wallet address must not be associated with a third party exchange or service that has custody over the private key. You must own the private key if your address is an exchange address. The Issuer reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to prescribe additional conditions relating to specific V3 AVA Token delivery or wallet requirements for the Token Swap at any time.

g. Third Party Service Provider or Agent. If you participate in the Token Swap through a third party service provider or agent, that service provider or agent is your agent, not our agent, for the purpose of the Token Swap. You, not the Issuer, are responsible for ensuring that we actually receive the appropriate amount of V2 AVA Tokens and that you receive the appropriate amount of V3 AVA Tokens. We are not responsible for any loss or delay of Tokens due to your use of a third party service provider or agent.

h. Exchange Submission Rejection. Without limiting the grounds upon which the Issuer may refuse to distribute V3 AVA Tokens, if distribution of V3 AVA Tokens to you, or the holding of V3 AVA Tokens by you, is or becomes impossible or violative of any applicable legal or regulatory requirements, or if the Issuer suspects such, then:

(i). the Issuer is not required to permit your participation in the Token Swap or to otherwise distribute any V3 AVA Tokens to you nor, in either case, to any other person or entity acting on your behalf;

(ii). the Issuer may request, require, or facilitate that steps be taken to ensure the full return of any V3 AVA Tokens that you hold;

(iii). the Issuer reserves the right to terminate its relationship with you and take any actions considered necessary or desirable for the Issuer to meet its legal and regulatory obligations; and

(iv). such actions will be irrespective of any original contribution that has been made by you to the Issuer and/or any other third party in respect of the V2 AVA Token, and the Issuer is not required to provide reasons.

6. Acknowledgement and Assumption of Risks

You acknowledge and agree that there are risks associated with purchasing Tokens, holding Tokens, exchanging Tokens, and using Tokens for providing or receiving Services, including, without limitation, those disclosed and explained Appendix 1 hereto (the “Risk Disclosures”). You assume all such risks. If you have any questions regarding these risks, please contact us at [email protected]. BY PARTICIPATING IN THE TOKEN SWAP, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND ASSUME ALL OF THESE RISKS.

If your private key(s) or other access credentials are lost, you may lose access to your V3 AVA Tokens. We are not responsible for any such losses. You will implement reasonable and appropriate measures designed to secure access to (i) any device connected with the email address associated with your account, (ii) private keys required to access any relevant Travala Platform address or your V3 AVA Tokens, and (iii) your username, password, and any other login or identifying credentials. If you are no longer in possession of any device connected with your account, or are not able to provide your login or identifying credentials, we may, in our sole discretion and only if we have the ability to do so, grant access to your account to any person providing additional credentials to us. We reserve the right to determine the additional credentials required, which may include a sworn, notarized statement of identity.

b. Additional Information. You will provide to us, or to our nominee, immediately upon our request, information that we, in our sole discretion, deem to be required to maintain compliance with any federal, state, local, domestic, or foreign law, regulation, or policy, including any “Know Your Customer” (“KYC”) requirements and policies. Such information may include a passport, driver’s license, utility bill, photograph of you or government identification cards, and we, or our nominee, may keep a copy of such information for our records. Such information will be used by us, or our nominee, to confirm compliance with such federal, state, local, domestic or foreign laws, regulations, and policies before your Swap Distribution.

c. Your Information. We may use aggregate statistical information about your activity, including your activity on the Travala Website or Platform and AVA Ecosystem partners or various websites, for marketing or any other purpose, in our sole discretion.

dd. You will not use Tokens to finance, engage in, or otherwise support any unlawful activities.

11. Your Responsibilities

a. You are responsible for properly configuring any software in connection with your access to, or use of, V3 AVA Tokens.

b. The login credentials to Services including the Travala Platform are for your individual use only and you may not sell, transfer, or sublicense them to any other person. You are responsible for any person’s use of your credentials. You will be deemed to have taken any action that you permit, assist, or facilitate any person to take related to these T&Cs. You are responsible for any actions taken by anyone who purchases or otherwise acquires V3 AVA Tokens from you (this person being referred to in these T&Cs as an “End User“). You will ensure that any End User complies with your obligations in these T&Cs and that the terms of your agreement with any End User are consistent with these T&Cs. You are responsible for providing customer service (if any) to any End User. We do not provide any support or services to End Users unless we have a separate agreement with you or the End User which obligates us to provide support or services.

12. Proprietary Rights

a. Suggestions. If you provide any suggestions to the Issuer or any Indemnified Party as defined in these terms, we will own all rights, title, and interest in and to those suggestions, even if you have designated the suggestions as confidential or proprietary. The Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to use, transfer, and hypothecate the suggestions without restriction. You irrevocably assign to us all right, title, and interest in and to such suggestions and shall provide us any assistance we may require to document, perfect, and maintain our rights in the suggestions.

b. Hardware and Software. Under no circumstances will you gain any proprietary rights in any computer hardware or software (except the value of the V3 AVA Tokens you receive in your Swap Distribution) used by us or our affiliates.

c. Intellectual Property. We retain all rights, title, and interest in all of our intellectual property, including without limitation (i) all patents, designs, copyright and related rights, database rights, know-how and confidential information, trademarks and related goodwill, trade names (whether registered or unregistered), and rights to apply for registration, inventions, discoveries, processes, methods, compositions, formulae, techniques, information, and data, whether or not patentable, copyrightable, or protectable in trademark, and all trademarks, copyrights, or patents based thereon; (ii) all other rights of a similar nature or having an equivalent effect anywhere in the world which currently exist or are recognized in the future; and (iii) all applications, extensions, and renewals in relation to any such rights (collectively, the “Company IP Rights”). You may not use any of the Company IP Rights for any reason except with our express, prior, written consent, which may be granted by us in our sole discretion and, if granted, thereafter revoked by us at any time at our sole discretion. Except as expressly set out in these T&Cs, you are not entitled, for any purpose, to any of the Company IP Rights. We at all times retain ownership, including all rights, title, and interests in and to the Company IP Rights and you understand and accept that by accepting the Token Swap pursuant to these T&Cs you will not (A) acquire or otherwise be entitled to any Company IP Rights; (B) make a claim in respect of any Company IP Rights or any other equivalent rights; or (C) use, attempt to use, copy, imitate, or modify (whether in whole or in part) any Company IP Rights except with our prior written consent.

13. Indemnification

a. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless (i) the Legacy Issuer; (ii) the Company; (iii) the Issuer and (iv) each of their respective parent companies, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and its and their respective past, present, and future employees, officers, directors, managers, contractors, consultants, equity holders, suppliers, vendors, service providers, agents, representatives, predecessors, successors and assigns (together with the Legacy Issuer, the Company and the Issuer, the “Indemnified Parties“), on demand from and against all claims, demands, actions, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, court costs, investigative costs, amounts paid in settlement, and other costs and expenses) that arise from or relate to: (i) your exchange of V2 AVA Tokens for V3 AVA Tokens, (ii) the performance or non-performance of your responsibilities and obligations under these T&Cs, (iii) your violation of these T&Cs, (iv) your use of the Services; or (v) your violation of any rights of any other person or entity.

b. The rights of the Indemnified Parties under Section 13.a are in addition to, and not in lieu of, (i) any other indemnities set forth in any other written agreement between you and the Issuer or the Company, and (ii) any other remedies that may be available to the Issuer or the Company under applicable law or in equity.

c. The Issuer reserves the right to exercise sole control over the defense, at your cost and expense, of any claim subject to indemnification under this Section 13.

d. You hereby acknowledge and agree that for the purposes of applicable law, each Indemnified Party not a party to these T&Cs is an intended third-party beneficiary under these T&Cs (and the Issuer shall hold the benefit of such provisions on trust for each such Indemnified Party). However, the parties to these T&Cs may rescind or vary these T&Cs (including, without limitation, any variation so as to extinguish or alter a third party’s entitlement to enforce any provisions of these T&Cs) without the consent of any such third party.

14. Disclaimers

a. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING BY US, (I) THE V3 AVA TOKENS ARE ISSUED IN THE TOKEN SWAP ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, AND WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES AS TO THE TOKENS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT; (II) WE CANNOT AND DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE TOKENS ARE RELIABLE, CURRENT, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT THE TOKENS MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT DEFECTS IN THE V3 AVA TOKENS WILL BE CORRECTED; (III) WE CANNOT AND DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE TOKENS OR THE DELIVERY MECHANISM FOR V3 AVA TOKENS ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS AND (IV) BY SWAPPING TOKENS IN THE COURSE OF THIS TOKEN SWAP YOU WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS YOU HAVE WITH RESPECT TO THE V2 AVA TOKENS AND/OR THE LEGACY ISSUER.

b. WE DO NOT AND WILL NOT PROVIDE YOU WITH ANY SOFTWARE OTHER THAN THE V3 AVA TOKENS IN YOUR SWAP DISTRIBUTION.

c. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE TOKENS, BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY, THE TRAVALA PLATFORM, AVA ECOSYSTEM, AND OTHER CRYPTOCURRENCY ARE NEW AND UNTESTED TECHNOLOGIES OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL AND, THEREFORE, ADVERSE CHANGES IN MARKET FORCES, LAW, OR TECHNOLOGY WILL EXCUSE OUR PERFORMANCE UNDER THESE T&CS.

d. TRANSACTIONS USING BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY, SUCH AS THOSE INVOLVING THE TOKEN SWAP, ARE AT RISK TO MULTIPLE POTENTIAL FAILURES, INCLUDING HIGH VOLUME ON THE TRAVALA PLATFORM, COMPUTER FAILURE, BLOCKCHAIN FAILURE OF ANY KIND, USER FAILURE, TOKEN THEFT, TRAVALA PLATFORM HACKING, AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS OR INTERNET FAILURE OR DISRUPTION. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, TOKENS, OR OTHER CRYPTOCURRENCY, HARDWARE, OR SOFTWARE RESULTING FROM ANY TYPES OF FAILURES, THEFT, OR HACK.

e. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or disclaimers of implied terms in contracts with consumers, so some or all of the exclusions of warranties and disclaimers in this Section 14 may not apply to you.

15. Limitation of Liability

a. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:

(i). IN NO EVENT WILL THE ISSUER OR ANY OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF REVENUE, INCOME, OR PROFITS; UNREALIZED GAIN OR SAVINGS; LOSS OF USE OR DATA; OR DAMAGES FOR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF TOKENS) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THESE T&Cs, THE TOKENS, THE TOKEN SWAP, OR THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE TOKENS, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, SIMPLE NEGLIGENCE, WHETHER ACTIVE, PASSIVE, OR IMPUTED), OR INFRINGEMENT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE); AND

(ii). IN NO EVENT WILL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE ISSUER AND THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES (JOINTLY), WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, WHETHER ACTIVE, PASSIVE, OR IMPUTED), OR INFRINGEMENT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THESE T&Cs, THE TOKENS, THE TOKEN SWAP, OR THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE THE TOKENS, EXCEED USD $1,000.

b. Sections 1 through 4, 5.e, 5.h, 6, 7.a, 9, 10, 11.b, and 12 through 21 shall survive the Token Swap, the Token Swap Period, and any termination of these T&Cs. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the limitations of this Section 15 may not apply to you.

YOU AGREE THAT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE TOKEN SWAP OR THESE T&Cs MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE END OF THE SWAP PERIOD OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED.

16. Release

a. When you exchange your V2 AVA Tokens for the V3 AVA Tokens, this Section 16 (the “Release”) supersedes the original terms (which includes and is not limited to, any previously accepted terms and conditions and/or agreement entered into with the Legacy Issuer) with respect to the original issuance of your V2 AVA Tokens. 

b. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you release the Legacy Issuer, the Issuer, the Company, each Indemnified Party and each of their respective past, present, and future predecessors in interest, successors in interest, successors, predecessors, parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, agents, representatives, insurers, heirs, devisees, executors, administrators, fiduciaries, trustees, conservators, officers, directors, members, managers, shareholders, attorneys, advisors, and assigns from any and all past, present, or future claims, actions, causes of action, class actions, costs, demands, obligations, expenses, injuries, judgments, losses, suits, damages, fees, interest, expenses, compensation, class actions, or causes of action for declaratory or injunctive relief, restitution, compensatory, general, special, statutory, or punitive damages of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, liquidated or unliquidated, anticipated or unanticipated, suspected or unsuspected, past, present, or future, direct or indirect, contingent or absolute, whether individual, collective, or representative, and whether based on tort, contract, or other theories of recovery, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs of defense (each a “Claim” and collectively “Claims”) arising out of, or in any way related to (i) Your purchase of V2 AVA Tokens, (ii) Your Token Swap; and/or (iii) Your use of the Services.

17. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration

a. Binding Arbitration. Except for any controversies, disputes, demands, claims, causes of action, or suits, actions, or proceedings (collectively, “Disputes“) in which either Party seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, or any other disputes or claims that for any reason do not fall within the agreement to arbitrate set forth in this Section 17 (all of the foregoing for which you and we shall submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the British Virgin Islands), you (i) waive your rights to have any and all Disputes arising out of or in any way related to these T&Cs, the Tokens, the Token Swap, or the use of, or inability to use, the Tokens resolved in a court, and (ii) waive your rights to a jury trial. Instead, you shall arbitrate all Disputes between you and any Indemnified Party (including, without limitation, all Disputes concerning the interpretation and scope of this Section 17, the arbitrability of the controversy, dispute, demand, claim, or cause of action, or any related or prior agreement that you may have or have had with us) through binding and confidential arbitration (which is the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the Dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it instead of having the Dispute decided by a judge or jury in court).

b. No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions. Any Dispute arising out of or related to these T&Cs is personal to you and the Legacy Issuer, Issuer or the Company and will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action, or any other type of representative proceeding. There will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals. Further, a Dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.

c. To seek arbitration, you must first send to us, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice“). The Notice to us should be sent to c/o Harkom Corporate Services Limited of Jayla Place, 2nd Floor, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands VG1110 (our “Notice Address“). Notice to you shall be by email to the then-current email address associated with your Account. The Notice you send must (i) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If we and you do not resolve the Dispute within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by us or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or we are entitled. As used in this Section 17, “we” and “us” includes, without limitation, any third party providing any product, service, or benefit in connection with the Tokens or these T&Cs if such third party is named as a co-party with us in any Dispute subject to this Section 17.

d. The seat of the arbitration is the British Virgin Islands. The venue of the arbitration will be the British Virgin Islands. The language of the arbitration will be English. The arbitration will be conducted before one commercial arbitrator from the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC“) with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes. As modified by these T&Cs, and unless otherwise agreed upon by the Parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed by the International Chamber of Commerce Rules of Arbitration (collectively, the “Rules and Procedures“). By agreeing to be bound by these T&Cs, you either (i) acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the Rules and Procedures, or (ii) waive your opportunity to read the Rules and Procedures and any claim that the Rules and Procedures are unfair or should not apply for any reason. Where no claims or counterclaims involved in the Dispute exceed USD $10,000, the Dispute will be resolved by the submission of documents without a hearing, unless a hearing is requested by a Party or deemed to be necessary by the arbitrator, in which case, a Party may elect to participate telephonically.

e. You should review this Section 17 carefully. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you are GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights EXCEPT for matters that you file in small claims court in the state or municipality of your residence within the jurisdictional limits of the small claims court and as long as such matter is pending only in that court. Additionally, notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, claims of defamation and claims of infringement or misappropriation of the other Party’s patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights shall not be subject to this arbitration agreement. Such claims shall be exclusively brought in a court located in the British Virgin Islands. Additionally, notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, you or us may seek emergency equitable relief before a court located in the British Virgin Islands in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration and you shall submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within the British Virgin Islands for such purpose. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to arbitrate.

f. Except as stated in Section 17.e, your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. You are entitled to a FAIR HEARING, BUT the arbitration procedures may be SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. Arbitrators’ decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.

g. You and we must abide by the following rules: (i) ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU OR US MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING; (ii) THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF; (iii) the arbitrator will honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized at law; (iv) the arbitration will be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by applicable law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award; (v) subject to the limitation of liability provisions of these T&Cs, the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are expressly permitted by applicable law; and (vi) you and we will pay our respective attorneys’ fees and expenses, unless there is a statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees and litigation expenses and the arbitrator awards such attorneys’ fees and expenses to the prevailing party, and, in such instance, the fees and costs awarded will be determined by the applicable law. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees“) will be governed by the Rules and Procedures, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the Rules and Procedures.

h. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of you and us.

i. This Section 17 will survive the Swap Distribution and any termination of these T&Cs as well as any voluntary payment of any debt in full by you or any bankruptcy by you or us. With the exception of subparts (i) and (ii) of Section 17.g (prohibiting arbitration on a class or collective basis), if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures, then the balance of this arbitration provision will remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal, or conflicting part was not contained in these T&Cs. If, however, either subpart (i) or (ii) of Section 17.g is found to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision will be null and void, and neither you nor we will be entitled to arbitration. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute shall be exclusively brought in a court located in the British Virgin Islands.

j. Notwithstanding any provision in these T&Cs to the contrary, we agree that if we make any future change to this Section 17 (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the V3 AVA Tokens, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within thirty (30) calendar days after the date of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute with us in accordance with the language of this Section 17 as of the later of (i) the date you first accepted these T&Cs and (ii) the date you last accepted any subsequent changes to these T&Cs.

k. For more information on the ICC, the Rules and Procedures, or the process for filing an arbitration claim, you may visit the ICC website at https://iccwbo.org/.

18. Governing Law and Venue

These T&Cs will be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the British Virgin Islands, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of the British Virgin Islands or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any Dispute between the Parties arising out of or relating to these T&Cs (including non-contractual Disputes of claims) will be resolved in accordance with Section 17.

19. Severability

If a court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision of these T&Cs to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of these T&Cs will remain in full force and effect. The Parties intend that any invalid or unenforceable provisions will be interpreted to effect the intent of the original provisions. If such construction is not possible, the invalid or unenforceable provision will be severed from these T&Cs, but the rest of these T&Cs will remain in full force and effect.

20. Modification to these T&Cs

These T&Cs and/or the Travala Terms and Policies may be modified at any time by posting a revised version on the AVA Website, Travala Website, other channel we make available, or, only if you have provided us with an email address, by email. The modified provisions will become effective upon posting or on the date indicated in the posting or, if we notify you by email, as stated in the email. It is your responsibility to check the AVA Website, Travala Website and other channels regularly for modifications. Your continued use of the Tokens or Services under the AVA Ecosystem after any modification becomes effective constitutes your acceptance of the modification. We last modified these T&Cs on the date listed at the beginning of these T&Cs.

Appendix 1 – Risk Disclosures: Certain Risk Factors

While the V3 AVA Tokens are available only to Eligible Investors (which therefore excludes sales to Restricted Persons including U.S. Persons (as defined under applicable U.S. Law), there is the possibility that V3 AVA Tokens could be acquired over time or following changes in the regulatory landscape by U.S. Persons and/or persons in other jurisdictions currently restricted from acquiring V3 AVA Tokens and, accordingly, the risk factors set out below may include certain risk factors specific to certain jurisdictions even though the Issuer will not at present make the V3 AVA Tokens available at this time to persons from such jurisdictions.

BY PARTICIPATING IN THE TOKEN SWAP, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND ASSUME ALL OF THESE RISKS.

a. Risk of Losing Access to Tokens Due to Wallet Incompatibility: Your cryptocurrency wallet must possess technical infrastructure that is compatible with the receipt, storage and transfer of the Tokens. Non-compatible wallet addresses will not be accepted. In addition, your wallet address must not be associated with a third party exchange or service that has custody over the private key. You must own the private key if your address is an exchange address. The Issuer reserves the right to prescribe additional conditions relating to specific wallet requirements for the Token Swap at any time, acting in its sole discretion.

b. Risks Associated with the Blockchain Protocols: V2 AVA Tokens are based on the BEP-2, BEP-20 and ERC-20 protocol. V3 AVA Tokens are based on the ERC-20 protocol. As such, any malfunction, breakdown, abandonment, unintended function, unexpected functioning of or attack on these protocols may have an adverse effect on the Tokens, including causing them to malfunction or function in an unexpected or unintended manner.

c. Risks Associated with Your Credentials: Any third party that gains access to or learns of your wallet login 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 wallet address to which to send your V3 AVA Tokens. If you give us the incorrect address to which to send your V3 AVA Tokens, we are not responsible for any loss of V3 AVA Tokens that may occur.

d. Risk of Unfavorable Regulatory Action in One or More Jurisdictions:

(i). Blockchain technologies and cryptographic tokens have been the subject of scrutiny by various regulatory bodies around the world. Blockchain technology allows new forms of interaction and it is possible that certain jurisdictions will apply existing regulations on, or introduce new regulations addressing, blockchain technology based applications, which regulations may be contrary to the current setup of the AVA Ecosystem and the Services offered or its smart contract system and, therefore, may result in substantial modifications to the AVA Ecosystem or the Services offered and such smart contract systems, including its termination and the loss of Tokens. 

(ii). The regulatory status of cryptographic tokens and distributed ledger technology is unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions. It is difficult to predict how or whether regulatory authorities may apply existing regulation with respect to such technology and its applications, including specifically (but without limitation to) the AVA Ecosystem, Travala Platform and V3 AVA Tokens. It is likewise difficult to predict how or whether any legislative or regulatory authorities may implement changes to law and regulation affecting distributed ledger technology and its applications, including specifically (but without limitation to) the AVA Ecosystem, Travala Platform and V3 AVA Tokens. Regulatory actions could negatively impact the AVA Ecosystem, Travala Platform and V3 AVA Tokens in various ways, including, for purposes of illustration only, through a determination that V3 AVA Tokens are a regulated financial instrument that requires registration, licensing or restriction. The Issuer may cease operations in a jurisdiction if regulatory actions, or changes to law or regulation, make it illegal to operate in such jurisdiction, or commercially undesirable to obtain the necessary regulatory approval(s) to operate in such jurisdiction. The functioning of the AVA Ecosystem, Travala Platform and the V3 AVA Tokens could be impacted by any regulatory inquiries or actions, including restrictions on the use, sale or possession of digital tokens like the V3 AVA Tokens, which restrictions could impede, limit or end the development of the AVA Ecosystem and increase legal costs.

(iii). The cryptocurrency exchange market, the token listing and trading market, initial coin offerings, and by extension the AVA Ecosystem and Travala Platform, is subject to a variety of federal, state and international laws and regulations, including those with respect to “know you customer” and “anti-money laundering” and customer due diligence procedures, privacy and data protection, consumer protection, data security, and others. These laws and regulations, and the interpretation or application of these laws and regulations, could change. In addition, new laws or regulations affecting the AVA Ecosystem and Travala Platform could be enacted, which could impact the utility of V3 AVA Tokens on the AVA Ecosystem and the Travala Platform. Additionally, users of the Services are subject to or may be adversely affected by industry specific laws and regulations or licensing requirements. If any of these parties fails to comply with any of these licensing requirements or other applicable laws or regulations, or if such laws and regulations or licensing requirements become more stringent or are otherwise expanded, it could adversely impact the AVA Ecosystem, Travala Platform and the V3 AVA Tokens, including the utility of V3 AVA Tokens to obtain or provide Services.

e. Risk of Alternative: Following the Token Swap and the continued development of the AVA Ecosystem and Service offerings, it is possible that alternative applications could be established, which use the same open source code and protocol underlying the Services. The V3 AVA Tokens may have no intrinsic value with respect to such alternative applications. The Services may compete with these alternative, unofficial token-based applications, which could potentially negatively impact the AVA Ecosystem, Travala Platform and the V3 AVA Tokens.

f. Risk of Insufficient Interest in the Services: It is possible that the Services offered by the AVA Ecosystem will not be used by a large number of businesses, individuals, and other organizations and that there will be limited public interest in the Services. Such a lack of interest could negatively impact the V3 AVA Tokens and the AVA Ecosystem.

g. Risk that the AVA Ecosystem, as Developed, Will Not Meet Expectations: The AVA Ecosystem presently is under continued development and may undergo significant changes. Any expectations or assumptions regarding the form and functionality of the AVA Ecosystem or the V3 AVA Tokens (including participant behavior) held by the Issuer or you may not be met, for any number of reasons, including, without limitation, mistaken assumptions or analysis, changes to the design and implementation plans, and changes in the execution of the AVA Ecosystem. Moreover, we may not be able to retain full and effective control over how other participants will use the V3 AVA Tokens, AVA Ecosystem, what products or services will be offered through the AVA Ecosystem by third parties, or how third-party products and services will utilize V3 AVA Tokens (if at all). This could create the risk that the V3 AVA Tokens or AVA Ecosystem, as further developed and maintained, may not meet your expectations. Furthermore, despite our good faith efforts to develop and participate in the AVA Ecosystem, it is still possible that the AVA Ecosystem will experience malfunctions or otherwise fail to be adequately maintained, which may negatively impact the AVA Ecosystem and V3 AVA Tokens, and the potential utility of the V3 AVA Tokens, including the utility of the V3 AVA Tokens for obtaining services and/or offering rewards and/or being used in the manner intended at the time of the Token Swap.

h. Inability to Fund Development or Maintenance: The Company and/or any relevant Indemnified Parties may not be able to fund development, or may not be able to develop or maintain the AVA Ecosystem in the manner that it was intended.

i. Risks from Taxation: The tax characterization of the V3 AVA Tokens is uncertain. You must seek your own tax advice in connection with acquiring and holding V3 AVA Tokens, which may result in adverse tax consequences to you, including withholding taxes, income taxes, and tax reporting requirements.

j. Risk of Theft and Hacking:

(i). Smart contracts, software applications, AVA Website and the Travala Platform may be exposed to attacks by hackers or other individuals, groups, organizations or countries that interfere with the AVA Website, Travala Platform or the availability of the V3 AVA Tokens in any number of ways, including 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. Any such successful attacks could result in theft or loss of V3 AVA Tokens, adversely impacting the ability to further develop the AVA Ecosystem and/or related projects and derive any usage or functionality from V3 AVA Tokens. You must take appropriate steps to satisfy yourself of the integrity and veracity of relevant websites, systems and communications. Furthermore, because the AVA Website and Travala Platform is based on open-source software, there is a risk that a third party or a member of the Issuer’s team may intentionally or unintentionally introduce weaknesses or defects into the core infrastructure of the AVA Website or Travala Platform, which could negatively affect the AVA Ecosystem, Travala Platform and V3 AVA Tokens.

(ii). You acknowledge, understand and accept that if your private key or password gets lost or stolen, the V3 AVA Tokens associated with your wallet address may be unrecoverable and permanently lost. Additionally, any third party that gains access to your private key, including by gaining access to the login credentials relating to your wallet, may be able to misappropriate your V3 AVA Tokens. Any errors or malfunctions caused by or otherwise related to the digital wallet or vault you choose to receive and store V3 AVA Tokens, including your own failure to properly maintain or use such digital wallet or vault, may also result in the loss of your V3 AVA Tokens, for which the Issuer shall have no liability.

k. Risk of Security Weaknesses in the AVA Website and Travala Platform: The AVA Website and Travala Platform consists of open source software that is based on other open source software. There is a risk that the Issuer or other third parties may intentionally or unintentionally introduce weaknesses or bugs into the core infrastructural elements of the AVA Website or Travala Platform interfering with the use of or causing the loss of V3 AVA Tokens.

l. Risk of Weaknesses or Exploitable Breakthroughs in the Field of Cryptography: Advances in cryptography, or technical advances such as the development of quantum computing, could present risks to cryptocurrencies and the AVA Ecosystem by rendering ineffective the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins the Token’s protocol, which could result in the theft, loss or decreased utility of the V3 AVA Tokens. Smart contracts, blockchain application software and blockchain platform protocols are still in an early development stage and relatively unproven. There is no warranty or assurance that the process for creating V3 AVA 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 contributions and/or V3 AVA Tokens.

m. Risk of Lack of Adoption or Use of the AVA Ecosystem: While the V3 AVA Tokens should not be viewed as an investment, they may have value over time. That value may be limited or non-existent if the AVA Ecosystem lacks acceptance, use and adoption, which may have an adverse impact on the V3 AVA Tokens.

n. Risk of Dissolution of the Issuer and the AVA Ecosystem: It is possible that, due to any number of reasons, including development issues with the AVA Ecosystem, V3 AVA Tokens, the failure of business relationships, lack of public interest, lack of funding, or competing intellectual property claims, the Issuer or the AVA Ecosystem may no longer be viable as a business or otherwise and may dissolve or fail to maintain commercial or legal viability, or be abandoned. There is no assurance that you will receive any benefits through the V3 AVA Tokens.

o. Risk of Malfunction in the AVA Website or Travala Platform: It is possible that the AVA Website or Travala Platform malfunctions in an unfavorable way, including one that results in the loss of the V3 AVA Tokens.

p. Risk Arising from Lack of Governance Rights: Because V3 AVA Tokens confer no governance rights of any kind with respect to the AVA Ecosystem, the Issuer or the Company; all decisions involving the AVA Ecosystem, the Issuer or the Company (including to sell or liquidate such operations) will be made by the party acting in their sole and absolute discretion, and all decisions involving the AVA Ecosystem including, but not limited to, decisions to discontinue available Services or to create and issue more V3 AVA Tokens, will be made, as relevant, at the discretion of the Issuer and/or the one or parties involved in the AVA Ecosystem. These decisions could adversely affect the Services offered, AVA Ecosystem and/or V3 AVA Tokens you hold.

q. Risks Associated with Incomplete Information regarding the V3 AVA Tokens, the Services offered, the AVA Ecosystem and Travala Platform: You will not have full access to all the information relevant to the Issuer, the Company, the V3 AVA Tokens, AVA Ecosystem and/or the Travala Platform. Neither the Issuer nor the Company is required to update you on the progress of the AVA Ecosystem. You are responsible for making your own decision in respect of the Token Swap. The Issuer does not provide you with any recommendation or advice in respect of the Token Swap. You may not rely on the Issuer to provide you with complete or up to date information.

r. The holders of V3 AVA Tokens will not be in any fiduciary, partnership, trustee, agency or similar relationship with the Issuer or any of its affiliates and will not be owed any fiduciary duty by the Issuer or any of its affiliates. The holders of V3 AVA Tokens have no management, equity, voting or similar rights in the Issuer or any of its affiliates.

s. In order to seek compliance with (or to seek to mitigate the impact of) any laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, judgments, injunctions, orders, treaties, administrative acts or decrees of any nation or government, any state or other political subdivision thereof, any entity exercising legislative, judicial or administrative functions of or pertaining to government, including, without limitation, any government authority, agency, department, board, commission or instrumentality, and any court, tribunal or arbitrator(s) of competent jurisdiction, and any self-regulatory organization believed by the Issuer or its affiliates to apply to or affect the Issuer or its affiliates, the Token Swap, the Services or the V3 AVA Tokens, the Issuer may in its sole and absolute discretion take such steps as it considers necessary or convenient to comply with such matters including, without limitation, the termination of the V3 AVA Tokens and/or the Services. In addition, the Issuer may take such steps as it considers necessary or convenient where it believes or suspects the V3 AVA Tokens may be used, trafficked or applied in the attempted furtherance of money laundering, terrorist financing, tax evasion or other unlawful activity or where it believes the Services are no longer viable.

t. Regulation of (i) tokens (including the V3 AVA Tokens); (ii) cryptocurrencies (iii) blockchain technologies; and (iv) cryptocurrency exchanges is currently underdeveloped and is likely to evolve rapidly, vary significantly among international, national, federal, state and local jurisdictions and is subject to significant uncertainty. Various legislative and executive bodies in the United States, South Korea, China, Singapore, among other countries, are currently considering, or may in the future consider, laws, regulations, guidance, or other actions, which may severely impact the development and growth of the AVA Ecosystem, the Issuer, Service offerings and the V3 AVA Tokens. Other countries may adopt similar approaches. Failure by the Issuer or users of the Services 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. New or changing laws and regulations or interpretations of existing laws and regulations would likely have numerous material adverse consequences on the Issuer and the V3 AVA Tokens. Therefore, there can be no assurance that any new or continuing regulatory scrutiny or initiatives will not have a material adverse impact on the value of the V3 AVA Tokens or impede the activities of the Issuer.

u. The Issuer has the exclusive right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to address and remediate any of the operational, legal or regulatory risks presented as of the date hereof or hereafter. In the exercise of such rights, it is possible that the Issuer may determine that the continued development of the AVA Ecosystem is not feasible. Accordingly, there is a material risk that the Issuer and its affiliates may not successfully continue to develop, market and operate the AVA Ecosystem and the V3 AVA Tokens.

v. Unanticipated Risks: Cryptographic tokens are a relatively new and untested technology. In addition to the risks discussed herein, there are risks that the Issuer cannot anticipate. Further risks may materialize as unanticipated combinations or variations of the discussed risks or the emergence of new risks.
