2. Overview of FSTR distribution: The Company reserves the right to circumvent or otherwise modify the algorithm used to select the underlying assets if it believes, in its sole discretion, that such selected underlying assets could adversely affect the Company or FSTR from a regulatory or legal perspective. The Company shall have the right to sell any such underlying assets (if already part of a FSTR portfolio) and block their acquisition. A maximum total amount of 2,000,000,000 (2 billion) FSTRs shall be created by the Company. Nevertheless, only a maximum of 50,000,000 (50 million) FSTRs shall be generated and distributed during the CDE. The remaining FSTRs which will not be part of the distribution shall be owned by the Company. Any kind of ownership of FSTR during the FSTR coin distribution carries no rights, whether express or implied. Any purchase or acquisition of FSTR shall be non-refundable in all cases.
2.1. User distribution process
2.1.1. Any person wishing to purchase FSTR shall first register and sign up for an account on the CDE platform buy.fourthstar.com as a User.
2.1.2. Each User shall be given a wallet on the CDE platform. Users need only to encode and enter the amount of FSTR they wish to buy. The total purchase prices shall be computed and shown to the User. Once confirmed, the user shall press the “Buy” button to proceed with the transaction. Users have the option to pay with their respective credit cards or other crypto assets, including but not limited to BTC and ETH, among others.
2.1.3. Users shall then pay the total purchase price of the FSTR they purchased. The total amount of FSTR bought shall be reflected on the respective dashboards of the Users.
2.1.4. In order to receive the FSTR purchased in the CDE in the final distribution, Users must comply with the KYC procedures and accomplish and submit such documents which may be required by the Company in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations governing the purchase and distribution of FSTR.
2.1.5. Upon completion of the KYC procedures, Users must provide a FSTR wallet address in the platform where the Company can send or otherwise transfer the FSTR the Users purchased.
4. Timing of FSTR Coin Distribution The FSTR distribution shall run for approximately 120 calendar days from the date the distribution opens and/or starts. The Company reserves the right to change the distribution dates or extend the distribution duration for any reason and at its sole discretion, including the unavailability of the Website or other unforeseen security or procedural issues, as the case may be.
5. After the FSTR Coin Distribution The Purchasers should have no expectation of influence over the governance of the Company. Upon the conclusion of a successful FSTR distribution, some of the remaining FSTRs that were offered of which were not purchased or distributed during the CDE will be burned. In case a Purchaser decides to re-sell or otherwise dispose the purchased FSTR upon the completion of the FSTR coin distribution, such Purchaser shall ensure that the buyer or transferee of any such FSTR undertakes to comply with all the provisions of these Terms as if such person were a Purchaser during the FSTR coin distribution.
6. The Company Will Not Purchase FSTR During the CDE The Company warrants that neither it nor its shareholders will purchase FSTR during the FSTR distribution. The Company further warrants that neither it nor its shareholders will purchase FSTR from any third party during the period of the FSTR distribution.
7. All purchases of FSTR are final ANY AND ALL PURCHASES OF FSTR ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE. BY PURCHASING FSTR, THE PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NEITHER THE COMPANY NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OR SHAREHOLDERS ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A REFUND FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER. IF THE COMPANY BELIEVES, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, THAT ANY INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY OWNING FSTR CREATES MATERIAL REGULATORY RISKS OR OTHER LEGAL RISKS OR ANY ADVERSE EFFECTS TO THE COMPANY AND/OR FSTR, THE COMPANY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO: (A) BUY ALL FSTR FROM SUCH FSTR OWNERS AT THE THEN-EXISTING MARKET PRICE; AND/OR (B) SELL ALL THE CRYPTOCURRENCY ASSETS OF THE COMPANY.
8. Taxation of FSTR and Taxation Related to the CDE The Purchaser bears the sole responsibility to determine whether the purchase of FSTR or the potential appreciation or depreciation in the value of FSTR over time has tax implications on the part of the Purchaser in the Purchaser’s home jurisdiction. By purchasing FSTR, and to the extent permitted by law, the Purchaser agrees not to hold any of the Company, its affiliates, shareholders, directors, or advisors liable for any tax liability associated with or arising from the purchase of FSTR.

10. Force Majeure The Fourth Star Inc. Team shall not be liable for failure to perform solely caused by the following:
• Unavoidable casualty;
• Delays in delivery of materials;
• Embargoes;
• Government orders;
• Acts of civil or military authorities;
• Acts by common carriers;
• Emergency conditions (including weather conditions);
• Security issues arising from the technology used; or
• Any similar unforeseen event that renders performance commercially implausible
If an event of force majeure occurs, the party injured by the other’s inability to perform may elect to suspend these Terms, in whole or part, for the duration of the force majeure circumstances. The party experiencing the force majeure circumstances shall cooperate with and assist the injured party in all reasonable ways to minimize the impact of force majeure on the injured party.
11. Disclaimer of Warranties THE PURCHASER EXPRESSLY AGREES THAT THE PURCHASER IS PURCHASING FSTR AT THE PURCHASER’S SOLE RISK AND THAT FSTR IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF TITLE OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE (EXCEPT ONLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW WITH ANY LEGALLY REQUIRED WARRANTY PERIOD TO THE SHORTER OF THIRTY DAYS FROM FIRST USE OR THE MINIMUM PERIOD REQUIRED). WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, NONE FROM THE Fourth Star Inc. TEAM WARRANTS THAT THE PROCESS FOR PURCHASING FSTR WILL BE AS UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE AS POSSIBLE.
12. Limitations Waiver of Liability THE PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY ANY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DISCLAIMERS OF LIABILITY CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL APPLY TO ANY AND ALL DAMAGES OR INJURY WHATSOEVER CAUSED BY OR RELATED TO THE (i) USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, FSTR; OR (ii) Fourth Star Inc. TEAM UNDER ANY CAUSE OR ACTION WHATSOEVER OF ANY KIND IN ANY JURISDICTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ACTIONS FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) AND THAT NONE FROM THE Fourth Star Inc. TEAM SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR SUCH OTHER DAMAGES REGARDLESS OF DESIGNATION, INCLUDING FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL OR DATA, IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, OR PURCHASE OF, OR INABILITY TO PURCHASE, FSTR, OR ARISING OUT OF ANY INTERACTION WITH THE TECHNOLOGY IMPLEMENTED IN RELATION TO FSTR. THE PURCHASER FURTHER SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE Fourth Star Inc. TEAM IS NOT LIABLE FOR THE CONDUCT OF THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING OTHER PURCHASERS OF FSTR, AND THAT THE RISK OF PURCHASING AND USING FSTR RESTS ENTIRELY WITH THE PURCHASER. TO THE EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ANYONE FROM THE FOURTH STAR INC. TEAM BE LIABLE TO ANY PURCHASER FOR MORE THAN THE AMOUNT THE PURCHASER HAVE PAID TO THE COMPANY FOR THE PURCHASE OF FSTR. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DAMAGES. THEREFORE, SOME
OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION AND ELSEWHERE IN THE TERMS MAY NOT APPLY TO A PURCHASER. IN PARTICULAR, NOTHING IN THESE TERMS SHALL AFFECT THE STATUTORY RIGHTS OF ANY PURCHASER OR EXCLUDE INJURY ARISING FROM ANY WILFUL MISCONDUCT OR FRAUD OF THE Fourth Star Inc. TEAM.
13. Complete Agreement These Terms set forth the entire understanding between the Purchaser and the Company with respect to the purchase and distribution of FSTR. For facts relating to the distribution and purchase, the Purchaser agrees to rely only on these Terms in determining purchase decisions. The Purchaser understands that these Terms govern the distribution of FSTR and shall be deemed to supersede any public statements about the FSTR coin distribution made by third parties or by the Fourth Star Inc.Team or individuals associated with any of the Fourth Star Inc., whether made in the past, present, or during the FSTR coin distribution.
14. Severability: The Purchaser and the Company agree that if any portion of these Terms is found illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective solely to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner or jurisdiction and without affecting the remaining provisions of the Terms, which shall continue to be in full force and effect.
15. No Waiver The failure of the Company to require or enforce strict performance by the Purchaser of any provision of these Terms or the Company’s failure to exercise any of its rights under these Terms shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of the Company’s right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance. The express waiver by the Company of any provision, condition, or requirement of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition, or requirement. Except as expressly and specifically set forth in these Terms, no representations, statements, consents, waivers, or other acts or omissions by the Fourth Star Inc. team shall be deemed a modification of these Terms nor the same shall be legally binding.
16. Updates to the Terms The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of the Terms at any time during the distribution by posting the amended Terms on the Website. Any Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted such changes by purchasing FSTR which shall serve as such Purchaser’s express consent to such modifications. Otherwise, the Terms may be amended except by express consent of both the Purchaser and the Company.
17. Cooperation with Legal Authorities The Company will cooperate with all law enforcement inquiries, subpoenas, or requests provided they are fully supported and documented by law in the relevant jurisdictions.
18. Indemnification To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Fourth Star Inc. Team from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) that arise from or relate to: (i) your purchase or use of FSTR; (ii) your responsibilities or obligations under these Terms; (iii) your violation of these Terms; or (iv) your violation of any rights of any other person or entity. The Company reserves the right to exercise sole control over the defense, at your expense of any claim subject to indemnification under this Section 18. This indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnities set forth in a written agreement between you and the Company.
19. Security You are solely responsible for implementing reasonable measures for securing the wallet, vault, or other storage mechanism you use to receive and hold FSTR purchased from the Company, including any requisite private key(s), secret phrase(s) or other credentials necessary to access such storage mechanism(s). If your private key(s) or other access credentials are lost, you may lose access to your Coins. The Company is not and shall not be responsible for any losses, costs, or expenses relating to lost access credentials.
20. Language Currently, only English versions of any Fourth Star Inc. communications shall be considered official. In case communications may be made other than the English language, the English version shall prevail in case of differences in translation.
21. Governing Law The terms, including the arbitration clause contained therein, and all non-contractual obligations arising in any way whatsoever out of or in connection with these Terms are governed by, construed, and take effect in accordance with the laws of The State of Delaware or the United States of America, at the choice of The Company. 22. Arbitration Any dispute or difference arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the legal relationships established by these Terms, including any question regarding its existence, validity, or termination (“Dispute”), shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the chosen organization of The Company which will be deemed incorporated herein by reference, save for any waiver of any rights the parties would otherwise have to any form of appeal or recourse to a court of law or other judicial authority, which rights are expressly reserved. The proceedings shall be administered and decided by a sole arbitrator. Any Dispute arising out of or related to these Terms is personal to you and the Company which will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action, or any other type of representative proceeding. There will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals. Further, a Dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.
Annex A
FSTR RISKS
By purchasing, owning, and using FSTR, you expressly acknowledge and assume the following risks:
1. Risk of Losing Access to FSTR Due to Loss of Private Key(s), Custodial Error, or Purchaser Error A private key, or
a combination of private keys, is necessary to control and dispose of FSTR stored in your digital wallet or vault. Accordingly, the loss of requisite private key(s) associated with your digital wallet or vault storing FSTR will result in the loss of such FSTR. Moreover, any third party that gains access to such private key(s), including by gaining access to login credentials of a hosted wallet service you use, may be able to misappropriate your FSTR. Any errors or malfunctions caused by, or otherwise related to, the digital wallet or vault you choose to receive and store FSTR in, including your own failure to properly maintain or use such digital wallet or vault, may also result in the loss of your FSTR. Additionally, your failure to follow precisely the procedures set forth in for buying and receiving Coins, including, for instance, the provision of the wrong address for the receiving FSTR, or provision of an address that is not ERC-20 compatible, may result in the loss of your Coins.
2. Risk of hacking or Mining Attacks
As with other decentralized cryptographic coins, FSTR Coins are susceptible to hacking or mining attacks. Any successful attack presents a risk to the platform and FSTR, including, but not limited to, accurate execution
and recording of transactions involving FSTR.
3. Risk of Hacking and Security Weaknesses
Hackers or other malicious groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with the platform or FSTR in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks, smurfing, and spoofing. Furthermore, because the platform is based on open-source software, there is a risk that a third party or a member of the Company team may intentionally or unintentionally introduce weaknesses into the core infrastructure of the platform, which could negatively affect the platform and FSTR, including the utility of FSTR for obtaining services.
4. Risks Associated with Markets for FSTR
If secondary trading of Coins is facilitated by third-party exchanges, such exchanges may be relatively new and subject to little or no regulatory oversight, making them more susceptible to fraud or manipulation. Furthermore, to the extent that third-parties do ascribe an external exchange value to FSTR (e.g. as denominated in a digital or fiat currency), such value may be extremely volatile.
5. Risk of Uninsured Losses
Unlike bank accounts or accounts maintained with some other financial institutions, FSTR Coins are naturally uninsured unless you specifically obtain private insurance to insure them. Thus, in the event of loss or loss of utility value, there is no public insurer or private insurance arranged by the Company to offer recourse to you.
6. Risks Associated with Uncertain Regulations and Enforcement Actions
The regulatory status of FSTR and distributed ledger technology is unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions. It is difficult to predict how or whether regulatory agencies may apply existing regulation with respect to such technology and its applications, including the Fourth Star Inc. platform and FSTR. It is likewise difficult to predict how or whether legislatures or regulatory agencies may implement changes to law and regulation affecting distributed ledger technology and its applications, including the platform and FSTR. Regulatory actions could negatively impact the platform and FSTR in various ways, including, for purposes of illustration only, through a determination that the purchase, distribution, and delivery of FSTR constitutes unlawful activity or that FSTR coins are a regulated instrument that requires registration or licensing of those instruments or some or all of the parties involved in the purchase, distribution, and delivery thereof. In view thereof, the Company may cease operations in a certain jurisdiction in the event that regulatory actions, or changes to law or regulation, will make it illegal for the Company
to operate in such jurisdiction, or in case it becomes commercially undesirable for the Company to obtain the necessary regulatory approval(s) to operate in such jurisdiction.
7. Risks Arising from Taxation
The tax characterization of FSTR is uncertain. You must seek your own tax advice in connection with your purchase of FSTR which may result in adverse tax consequences to you, including the payment of withholding taxes, income taxes, and compliance with tax reporting requirements, among others.
8. Risk of Competing platforms
It is possible that alternative platforms could be established that utilize the same open source code and protocol underlying the platform and attempt to facilitate services that are materially similar to the Fourth Star Inc..
services.
9. Risks Arising from Lack of Governance Rights
Because FSTR confers no governance rights of any kind with respect to the Fourth Star Inc. platform or the Company, all decisions involving the Company’s products or services within the platform or the Company itself will be made by the Company at its sole discretion. These decisions could adversely affect the platform and the utility of any FSTR you own, including their utility for obtaining services, among other possible consequences.
10. Unanticipated Risks
Cryptographic coins such as FSTR are new and untested technology. In addition to the risks included in this Annex A of these Terms, there are other risks associated with your purchase, possession, and use of FSTR, including unanticipated risks. Such risks may further materialize as unanticipated variations or combinations of the risks discussed in this Annex A of these Terms.
FSTR DISTRIBUTION APPLICATION
1. Confidentiality 1.1. I will keep confidential and will not disclose to third parties (other than my tax or other financial
advisors under like conditions of confidentiality) any and all information regarding Fourth Star Inc., an exempted company, registered under the laws of The State of Delaware, (“Fourth Star Inc.”) provided, however, that this confidential treatment shall not apply to the tax treatment and tax structure of the acquisition of FSTR coins and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to me relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

2.4. I indemnify and hold harmless Fourth Star Inc. and each of its agents and delegates and each of their respective principals, members, managers, officers, directors, stockholders, employees, and agents (each an Indemnified Party) and hold them harmless from and against any withholding or information reporting related liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages, expenses (including legal expenses) penalties or taxes whatsoever which an Indemnified Party may suffer or incur as a result of any action or inaction on my part (or on the part of any person related to me).

I further acknowledge that any interest accruing with respect to such Contributed Amount and/or Reversion Proceeds held in this manner shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of Fourth Star Inc..
3.4. Anti-Money Laundering
• I understand that Fourth Star Inc. (and/or its delegate) may request such evidence as may be necessary to verify
