This Agreement does not intend to, nor does it, create or enforce any fiduciary duties on us. To the maximum extent allowed by law, you recognize and agree that we are not subject to any fiduciary duties or liabilities towards you or any other party.

13. Assumption of Risk
By accessing and utilizing the Website/Service/Product, you assert that you possess the financial and technical acumen to comprehend the inherent risks associated with utilizing cryptographic and blockchain-based systems, and that you are well-versed in the use and complexities of digital assets such as ether (ETH), United States dollar coin (USDC), and other digital tokens such as those adhering to the Ethereum Token Standard ERC-20 and the Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) using the Ethereum Token Standard ERC-721 and ERC-1155. Specifically, you understand the irreversible nature of blockchain-based transactions.
You further grasp that the markets for these digital assets are highly unpredictable due to factors including (but not limited to) acceptance, speculation, technology, security, and regulation. You recognize and accept that the cost and speed of transacting with cryptographic and blockchain-based systems like Ethereum are variable and can escalate drastically at any time. You also acknowledge and accept the risk that your digital assets could lose part or all of their value while they are provided through the Website/Service/Product, you may incur loss due to the fluctuation of token prices, and encounter significant price slippage and cost.
You understand that anyone can create a token, including fraudulent versions of existing tokens and tokens that make false claims to represent projects, and acknowledge and accept the risk that you may mistakenly trade these or other tokens. Furthermore, you acknowledge that we bear no responsibility for these variables or risks, and cannot be held liable for any losses that you endure while accessing or using the Website/Service/Product.

14. Due Diligence
We do not take responsibility for any decision made based on the information provided through our Website/Service/Product. It is incumbent upon you to conduct your own research and due diligence before deciding to become a member.
15. Transfer Halts
We, our Website/Service/Product, and our third-party partners might be subjected to cyber-attacks, extreme market conditions, or other operational or technical issues which could lead to an immediate cessation or suspension of transactions, whether temporary or permanent.
As long as we have implemented reasonable commercial and operational strategies to avert or rectify such events within the technical systems under our control, we will not be held responsible or liable for any losses or damages of any sort experienced by you as a result of these cyber-attacks, operational or technical issues, or suspensions of transactions. Restrictions on transfer based on amount and/or frequency may be imposed periodically due to legal, regulatory, anti-money laundering (AML), or security reasons. Our policies and procedures may necessitate additional security and/or compliance checks that might require more time to complete.
By default, in our smart contract for the Sugarcane Membership Passes, we have purposely implemented a Transfer Halt for the membership tokens. We have added a feature to the smart contract allowing members to start the resell or transfer of their Sugarcanes, only once the 500th Sugarcane is minted (when we have sold out our Membership Passes) or latest by the 1st of October 2023 (calculated by the Ethereum transaction block, so the exact date may differ), whichever happens first. This means members will not be allowed to transfer or resell their Sugarcane membership tokens before the 500th membership has been sold or before the 1st of October 2023 (calculated by the Ethereum transaction block, so the exact date may differ).
16. Indemnity and Limitation of Liability
