4. The Foundation, distributors, their affiliates, and/or AIA Chain team members will not be responsible for the value, transferability/liquidity, and/or availability of AIA Chain tokens through third parties or other markets.

5. You acknowledge, understand, and agree that if you are a citizen, national, resident (tax or otherwise) of restricted geographic regions or countries, or are prohibited from participating in sales due to applications, laws, regulations, treaties, or administrative acts, you are not eligible to purchase any AIA Chain tokens.

• Token Characteristics: AIA Chain's native digital cryptocurrency token is designed to perform specific functions as specified in the protocol/code. The AIA Chain token plays a significant role in the ecosystem on the AIA Chain platform and is intended solely as a primary utility token on the platform. The AIA Chain token is a refundable functional utility token used as a medium of exchange among participants on the AIA Chain platform. The introduction of AIA Chain tokens aims to provide a convenient and secure mode of payment and settlement for participants interacting within the AIA Chain ecosystem. It is not, nor intended to be, a medium of exchange accepted by the public for partial payment of goods or services or discharge of debts; nor is it designed or intended to be used for any non-payment of goods or services (exclusively provided by the issuer). The AIA Chain token does not represent any equity.

• Participation, Rights, Ownership: Participating in the Foundation, distributors, unrelated affiliates, or any other company or entity does not entitle token holders to any fees, dividends, income, profits, or returns on investment, nor does it constitute securities in Switzerland, Singapore, or any relevant jurisdiction. AIA Chain tokens can only be used on the AIA Chain platform, and ownership of the platform and AIA Chain tokens does not grant any explicit or implicit rights beyond the use of AIA Chain tokens.

• AIA Chain Token Utility: The AIA Chain token provides economic incentives to encourage participant contributions on the network platform, facilitating new behaviors within applications on the network. As a decentralized network, AIA Chain relies on various participants to provide network maintenance resources, and AIA Chain tokens are used as a medium to quantify and compensate for the resources consumed. The AIA Chain token is an integral part of the AIA Chain platform, as users have no incentive to spend resources on activities or services benefiting the entire ecosystem without it.

• AIA Chain Token Features:

1. Payments for various services within the ecosystem, processing transactions, providing bandwidth, and storing data.

2. Participation in storage processes, running validation nodes (providing computational resources to validate information/generate blocks), and assisting in determining network resource allocation and governance processes. (To clarify, voting rights are limited to voting on the characteristics of the AIA Chain platform; invalid votes are not granted to token holders regarding the operation and management of the Foundation, distributors, or their affiliates, and do not constitute equity in these entities.)
