Please read this entire "legal disclaimer" carefully. Nothing in this document constitutes legal, financial, business, or tax advice. You are strongly advised to consult your own professional advisors before engaging in any activity related to Ardentis, the ARD token, or the use of the Ardentis protocol.

Neither the decentralized Ardentis DAO, nor any core contributors, developers, auditors, service providers, or affiliated third parties (collectively, the Ardentis Contributors) shall be liable for any direct or indirect damages or losses of any kind arising from your access to or reliance upon the Ardentis Whitepaper, Pitch Deck, Token Documentation, the Ardentis Website (including any subdomains), or any other materials published by Ardentis or its representatives.

Project Purpose

You agree that you are acquiring ARD solely:

  • 1. to participate in the Ardentis DAO governance system through veARD;
  • 2. to use and access certain utilities or services within the Ardentis ecosystem;
  • 3. not for speculative investment, financial returns, or profit expectations.

Ardentis DAO and its contributors develop and maintain components of the open-source protocol. Ardentis DAO acts solely as an arm's-length third party in relation to any ARD distribution and does not act as a financial advisor, fiduciary, or agent to any person.

Nature of the Token Documentation

The Ardentis Whitepaper, Pitch Deck, and any Token Documentation (collectively, the "Documentation") are conceptual documents intended for general informational purposes only. They do not constitute:

  • ● a prospectus or offering document,
  • ● an offer of securities,
  • ● a solicitation for investment,
  • ● a sale of digital assets,
  • ● legal or financial advice, or
  • ● any binding commitment by Ardentis DAO.

The Documentation may be incomplete and may be updated, amended, or replaced at any time without obligation to provide notice. Where third-party information is referenced, Ardentis DAO has not independently verified such information and makes no warranty as to its accuracy.

Roadmaps, platform features, governance mechanisms, and protocol parameters are subject to change and should not be relied upon when making decisions regarding ARD, veARD, or interaction with the protocol.

Validity of Documentation

Nothing in the Documentation or the Website constitutes an offer to sell ARD or any rights relating to it. No part of the Documentation shall form the basis of, or be relied upon in connection with, any contract or investment decision.

Any future ARD distribution or ongoing holding of ARD will be governed by a separate Token Distribution Agreement or Terms & Conditions, which shall take precedence over the Documentation.

  • 4. Ardentis DAO is not responsible for the market price, liquidity, transferability, or availability of ARD on any third-party platforms.
  • 5. You are not eligible to participate in any ARD distribution if you are a citizen, resident, national, domiciliary, permanent visa holder, or tax resident of any jurisdiction where token distributions or decentralized lending activities are prohibited or regulated as securities, including (without limitation):
  • ○ United States of America
  • ○ Canada
  • ○ People's Republic of China.
  • ○ Any country with sanctions, crypto prohibitions, or relevant restrictions.
