8. Assumption of Risk.
You accept and acknowledge:
(a) The prices of blockchain assets are extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the prices of other NFTs and/or cryptocurrencies may impact the price of your Illuminati NFT, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. NFTs have no intrinsic value and should NOT be considered an investment. Ethereum-based NFTs may become worthless or obsolete. We cannot guarantee that any purchases of Illuminati NFTs will retain their original value, as their value is inherently subjective and factors occurring outside of the Site may materially impact the value and desirability of any particular NFT.
(b) You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your Illuminati NFT transactions. Illuminati Foundation is not responsible for determining the taxes that apply to Illuminati NFT transactions.
(c) Our Site does not store, send, or receive Illuminati DAO Tokens. This is because Illuminati DAO Tokens exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on its supporting blockchain. Any transfer of an Illuminati DAO Token occurs within the supporting blockchain and not on this Site.

If you have any questions regarding these risks, please contact us at theancients@illuminatinft.com.

You acknowledge that the Illuminati Foundation has no liability to you or to any third party for any claims or damages that may arise as a result of your payment not reaching us, including, but not limited to, instances where your payment was not properly processed on the Ethereum Blockchain.

(h) Nothing on this Site, and nothing pertaining to your participation in the DAO, is intended to be an offering of securities in any jurisdiction nor does it constitute an offer to purchase shares, securities, or other financial products. It remains your sole responsibility to assure that the purchase of an Illuminati NFT is in compliance with laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.
(i) The Illuminati Foundation is not responsible for any transaction between you and a third party and shall have no liability in connection with any such transaction.
