By accessing or using STORE services, including our website, platform, Treasury programs, token purchases, or governance systems, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use STORE services.
"STORE" refers to STORE Research, Inc. and its affiliates.
"Platform" means STORE's cloud computing infrastructure and related services.
"Treasury" means STORE Treasury bond programs offering fixed-rate yields.
"Tokens" means STORE digital tokens offered under securities regulations.
"User" means any individual or entity accessing STORE services.
"SAFT" means Simple Agreement for Future Tokens.
STORE tokens are offered exclusively under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D for U.S. accredited investors and Regulation S for non-U.S. persons. By participating in token purchases or Treasury programs, you represent and warrant that: (a) you meet all applicable accredited investor requirements; (b) you understand tokens are not immediately available and will be delivered via Simple Agreement for Future Tokens (SAFT); (c) you acknowledge that no federal or state securities regulators have reviewed this offering; (d) you have conducted independent due diligence and understand all risk factors; (e) you comply with all applicable securities laws in your jurisdiction; and (f) you understand that STORE tokens and Treasury rewards are speculative investments that may result in total loss. This offering has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or any state securities laws and may not be transferred without compliance with applicable securities laws.
STORE services involve significant risks including potential total loss of funds, technical failures, security breaches, and regulatory changes. You use STORE services at your own risk.
Treasury deposits carry additional risks including early withdrawal penalties, variable yields, smart contract vulnerabilities, and regulatory restrictions. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Token purchases are speculative investments that may result in total loss. Tokens have no intrinsic value and utility depends on successful network development and launch.
Digital asset regulations are evolving and may restrict or prohibit STORE services in your jurisdiction. Regulatory changes may affect token value, transferability, or program availability.
CRITICAL RISK DISCLOSURE:
You acknowledge and expressly assume all risks associated with using STORE's internet-based services and digital asset operations, including but not limited to: (a) hardware, software, and internet connection failures; (b) malicious software introduction or cyber attacks; (c) unauthorized access to your account or wallet information; (d) blockchain network congestion, delays, or failures; (e) smart contract vulnerabilities or exploits; (f) data transmission errors or corruption; (g) third-party service integrations; (h) extreme price volatility of STORE tokens and digital assets; (i) potential total loss of invested capital; (j) regulatory changes affecting digital asset trading or Treasury operations; (k) SAFT agreement performance risks; and (l) early withdrawal penalties up to 75% of principal for Treasury deposits.
You understand that blockchain technology, Treasury smart contracts, decentralized systems, and digital assets are experimental technologies that may fail unpredictably, potentially resulting in total loss of funds, access to services, or investment principal.
While STORE endeavors to provide continuous service availability, you acknowledge that temporary service interruptions may occur due to scheduled maintenance, emergency updates, security incidents, or technical failures. STORE makes no guarantees regarding uptime or service availability. Treasury smart contracts and blockchain operations may continue functioning even during platform maintenance. We will provide advance notice for scheduled maintenance when operationally feasible. Emergency maintenance may occur without notice to address security vulnerabilities or protect user funds. Service interruptions do not excuse Treasury deposit obligations or governance voting deadlines.
TREASURY PROGRAM CRITICAL RISKS:
STORE Treasury deposits carry significant additional risks beyond general platform usage: (a) 75% early withdrawal penalty applies to all principal withdrawn before maturity; (b) APY rates are variable and reset annually based on U.S. Treasury benchmarks with constitutional multipliers, with no guaranteed returns; (c) all rewards are paid exclusively in STORE tokens, not USD, creating additional exchange rate risk; (d) Treasury smart contracts are experimental and may contain vulnerabilities; (e) minimum deposits ($2,500) and maximum terms (8 years) create significant liquidity constraints; (f) BitGo custody arrangements may be modified or terminated; (g) constitutional inflation protection (3% cap) requires democratic governance approval through Swiss Association and is not guaranteed; (h) yield multipliers for rollovers ("Munger Incentives") are subject to change and may be discontinued; (i) Fed-indexed methodology may be modified based on regulatory requirements; (j) infrastructure revenue sharing (5% pool) requires regulatory approval and is not guaranteed; (k) rollover multipliers and bonuses may not be available at maturity; and (l) constitutional governance protections depend on the continued operation of the STORE Association in Switzerland and +⅔ supermajority democratic processes.
Treasury participants become infrastructure stakeholders but have no guaranteed revenue sharing, withdrawal rights, or yield protection beyond constitutional frameworks that may be modified through governance processes.
STORE's experimental technology stack carries significant additional risks: (a) STORE AI Oracle may fail to provide accurate network intelligence or optimal resource allocation; (b) Dynamic Proof of Stake (DyPoS) algorithms may not achieve intended economic balance or security guarantees; (c) Cloud IDs and cloudspace integration may experience technical failures affecting cross-chain functionality; (d) Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus (BlockfinBFT) may encounter scalability limitations or security vulnerabilities despite patent protection; (e) STORE Chain development may be delayed, fail to launch, or not achieve projected performance metrics; (f) decentralized governance through STORE Association and Governor DAO may result in deadlock, poor decisions, or inability to respond to critical issues; (g) infrastructure royalty and revenue sharing mechanisms may not generate projected returns; (h) cross-cloud NFT minting and permanent storage systems may experience data loss or access failures; (i) gasless billing and multi-currency support may be discontinued or modified; and (j) the overall STORE economy may fail to achieve sustainable growth, user adoption, or competitive positioning against traditional cloud providers. These experimental systems are unproven at scale and may not deliver anticipated benefits.
TOKEN PRICING DISCLAIMERS:
The current STORE token price of $0.039 and private market cap of $28.03M are preliminary estimates for private placement purposes only and do not represent guaranteed value, future private market pricing, or public market performance. Token prices will fluctuate in private markets pre-launch and will be subject to open market forces post-launch, potentially resulting in significant price volatility or total loss of value. Token pricing calculations assume conversion rates (1 STORE = 100,000,000 bits) that may change before network launch.
You acknowledge that: (a) tokens have no intrinsic value and may become worthless; (b) private market valuations do not predict future private or public market performance; (c) $0.039 pricing may increase or decrease substantially in subsequent private rounds; (d) post-launch public market pricing may differ dramatically from private placement pricing; (e) 5% purchase bonuses and yield multipliers are subject to change; (f) no secondary market exists and may never develop; (g) token utility depends on successful network launch targeted for Q4 2025; (h) regulatory restrictions may prevent token transfers or trading; and (i) project development may be discontinued before network launch.
