The provisions of these Terms will govern your use of the Platform (as defined below) and of the Services (as described below), and you should therefore take time to read these Terms carefully.

The Platform is intended for users who are at least 21 years old, or otherwise of sufficient legal age and capacity in their jurisdiction to contract.

The purpose of the Initial Hot Cross Offering (IHO) Platform and Services is to create an autonomous cross-chain plug-n-play platform which acts as an intermediary platform connecting innovators with interested users (the Services ). It allows any type of third party blockchain project in any area which intends to issue its native digital tokens (each, a Project ) to kickstart, incubate, mint tokens, build custom smart contracts, and strategize listing and deployment all via a single dashboard within the Platform.

Via the tools and custom contract modules provided on the Platform, Projects will be able to directly meet community members and conduct their own cross-chain IHO token sales without intervention or involvement of any third party (including Hot Cross). The supported blockchains include Binance Smart Chain, Ethereum, Polygon, Huobi ECO Chain, KuCoin Community Chain, Harmony, and Avalanche. These tools would allow Projects to lock IHO token sale proceeds, deploy contracts for various project administration and safeguarding functions, in order to give maximum confidence to project participants regarding the usage of IHO token sale proceeds. In order to grow the community and increase engagement between the Project and buyers, Projects may be able to set the parameters and incentives which they offer for user engagement. By listing a Project on the Platform, the third party issuers promoting the Project are inviting users to contract directly with them by way of a binding legal agreement (which Hot Cross is not a party to).

Similarly, users are able to directly access Projects and take responsibility from the very beginning, selecting the Projects which they wish to support, and monitor each Project's progress and statistics from a single dashboard and interact directly with Project owners. There would be a pre-determined allocation of digital tokens available for each users, and which is prescribed by the Project at the outset.

Hot Cross functions solely as an intermediary technology platform, and the Services solely comprise provision of (a) tools and custom contract modules for third party issuers to launch their own Projects and manage community relationships, and (b) a user interface allowing Projects and users to connect and communicate information regarding Projects, and Hot Cross is not a party to a user's participation in any Project. Users are wholly responsible for their decision to engage with third party issuers or any particular Project on the Platform. The relationship and dealings between a user and the relevant Project shall be governed by the relevant legal agreement or contract entered into directly between the parties, and Hot Cross is not a party to the direct contractual relationship between a user and a Project; accordingly Hot Cross does not assume any responsibilities or liabilities whatsoever in this regard. Hot Cross shall in no circumstances be construed as a seller, introducer or promoter of any digital tokens or any Project.
