🔒Investor Protection Statement

• Legal Framework

CHIC operates under the jurisdiction of Japanese law and adheres to all relevant regulations, including the Payment Services Act, the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, and other applicable AI Ethics and blockchain-related laws. We ensure that all financial transactions, particularly those involving NFTs, utility tokens, or securities tokens, comply with the regulatory guidelines set forth by the Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission of Japan. Investors should be aware that the company’s legal obligations include full compliance with KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) requirements.

• Risk Acknowledgement

Investing in NFTs, digital assets, and tokenized securities inherently carries risk due to the volatility and evolving nature of the cryptocurrency market. By investing in CHIC’s products, you acknowledge that you fully understand the potential risks associated with such investments, including but not limited to market fluctuations, technological vulnerabilities, and regulatory changes. CHIC does not guarantee any form of return on investment, and the value of your holdings may fluctuate significantly or be subject to loss.

• Investment Suitability

CHIC encourages investors to carefully consider their financial circumstances before making any investment. Please refrain from purchasing or investing in our NFTs or tokenized assets if doing so exceeds your financial capabilities. CHIC’s NFTs and utility tokens are not designed as traditional financial securities, and they do not represent equity in the company nor carry any intrinsic investment value. Any purchases or investments made are to be viewed as participation in the ecosystem, not as a financial instrument with a promise of future gains.

• Securities Token Disclosure

Investments in CHIC’s tokenized securities ($ZENY) are subject to the full scope of securities laws, and any investment decisions made in relation to these tokens are at the sole discretion and responsibility of the investor. CHIC will not be held liable for any financial losses incurred due to market volatility or external factors affecting the token’s value. CHIC complies with all applicable securities laws in Japan and other relevant jurisdictions and advises investors to seek professional financial or legal advice before engaging in the purchase or sale of any tokenized securities.

• Limitation of Liability

CHIC is not liable for any economic loss, emotional distress, or other damages that may arise from fluctuations in the cryptocurrency market, changes in regulatory environments, or technological challenges affecting blockchain operations. All investments are made at the investor’s own risk. In the event of unforeseen changes, including but not limited to regulatory shifts or market collapses, CHIC will maintain open communication with its community and investors but will not be held responsible for any outcomes beyond its control.

• Regulatory Compliance

CHIC’s commitment to transparency and compliance is paramount. We work closely with legal experts to ensure that all operations meet the regulatory requirements of the jurisdictions in which we operate. CHIC does not engage in or endorse any illegal activities, including money laundering, fraud, or market manipulation. Should any regulatory changes impact the company’s operations, we will take the necessary steps to comply, and any significant changes will be communicated to investors in a timely manner.

• Investor Education

CHIC strongly encourages investors to familiarize themselves with the rapidly changing landscape of cryptocurrency regulations. It is essential to stay informed about the risks associated with investing in digital assets and blockchain technologies. CHIC advises investors to consult with qualified financial advisors or legal professionals before making any decisions related to their investment.

• Dispute Resolution

In the event of any dispute arising from your investment in CHIC’s products, we encourage resolving the matter through good-faith negotiation. Should further resolution be required, any legal action must be brought in the courts of Japan, and Japanese law will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Investor Protection Statement.
