1. General Provisions and Objective

1.1. Subject: This Protocol Risk Disclosure Policy (hereinafter the "Policy") establishes requirements for disclosing information about potential technical and operational risks associated with the use of the decentralized protocol and smart contracts of New Epoch Association (hereinafter the "Association").

1.2. Objective: The objective of the Policy is to inform Users and members of the Association’s community about the inevitable risks related to the use of blockchain technologies and decentralized autonomous governance.

1.3. Applicable Law: This Policy is governed by the substantive law of Switzerland. Lex Cryptographica (protocol code) is applied subsidiarily.

2. Disclosure of Protocol Risks

2.1. Technical Vulnerabilities: Users are notified and acknowledge that the Association’s protocol and smart contracts, despite undergoing audits, carry risks of technical failures, vulnerabilities, coding errors, and logical flaws.

2.4. Code Changes: Although the Association’s governance code is decentralized, there is a risk that the community may decide on unforeseen changes to the smart contract code (updates), which may affect the rights and capabilities of Token holders.
