Disclaimers

1. Not Investment Advice

Nothing on this Site, including any description of the FRWD token, grants program, or NOVUS Blockchain, constitutes investment, financial, legal, or tax advice. Visitors should consult their own independent advisors before making any decisions related to the NOVUS Blockchain or FRWD.

2. No Guarantee of Value or Returns

Per the NOVUS Blockchain Charter, nothing guarantees any market value, exchange listing, liquidity, profit, appreciation, income, redemption value, or financial return associated with FRWD or $FRWD. Digital assets are volatile and participants may lose some or all value.

3. Regulatory Uncertainty

The regulatory status of blockchain networks, tokens, and decentralized governance structures is unsettled and varies by jurisdiction. The Foundation makes no representation as to how FRWD, the NOVUS Blockchain, or the DAO will be treated under any particular jurisdiction's laws, now or in the future.

4. Grants Are Discretionary, Not Guaranteed

Submitting a grant application creates no entitlement to funding. All grant awards are discretionary, subject to Foundation Council review and, where applicable, DAO governance processes described in the Charter. Past grants are not a guarantee of future funding decisions.

5. Governance Is Independent of the Foundation

The DAO — not the Foundation — is the primary governance body for the NOVUS Blockchain. The Foundation holds the charter and administers programs like grants, but does not control the network and cannot unilaterally direct governance outcomes.

6. Third-Party and Application Risk

Applications, node software, and other tools that integrate with the NOVUS Blockchain are built and operated by independent developers and operators. The Foundation does not warrant the security, reliability, or performance of any third-party application or service.

7. Forward-Looking Statements

Statements on this Site about future plans, features, timelines, or ecosystem growth are forward-looking and inherently uncertain. Actual outcomes may differ materially from any stated expectations.

8. No Fiduciary Relationship

Use of this Site or participation in the NOVUS Blockchain ecosystem does not create a fiduciary, advisory, partnership, or agency relationship between you and the Foundation.
