NFT PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS NFT PURCHASE AGREEMENT (“Purchase Agreement”), is a legal and binding contract between Dinola Studio LLC, a Saint Vincent and the Grenadines limited liability company with Limited Liability Company Number 1635 LLC 2021, its successors and assigns (hereinafter "Dinola Studio", “our”, “us” or “we”), and the party or parties (the "Purchaser", or “you”) purchasing NFT from us through the Pepper Attack Platform.
The Purchaser is strongly encouraged to seek legal, financial, and tax advice regarding their individual circumstances and objectives in determining whether to purchase NFTs.
This Purchase Agreement provides important information and documentation needed to purchase an NFT issued by Dinola Studio.
NFTs are not a security of any kind, and they do not represent any right to vote, manage, or share in the profits or proceeds of any entity. NFTs do not represent ownership of any tangible or intangible asset, and they will not be redeemable.
NFTs are digital collectibles issued in the form of non-fungible digital tokens in the Blockchain through the Pepper Attack Platform. Dinola Studio does not contemplate that there will be any economic return from purchasing the NFTs, and you should not purchase NFTs for any speculative purposes. Purchase of the NFTs should be without expectation of any profit, dividend, capital gain, financial yield or any other return, payment or income of any kind.
Purchase of the NFTs carries substantial risk that could lead to a loss, including a total loss, of the value of the NFTs (for more details, see Section 8 "Risk Factors" below). There can be no assurance that the NFTs shall ever hold or maintain value.
The information in this Purchase Agreement does not constitute a recommendation by Dinola Studio, or any other person, nor does it constitute advice on the merits of purchasing the NFTs. The information in this Purchase Agreement does not necessarily identify, or purport to identify, all the risk factors associated with purchasing NFTs. Purchasers must make their own independent assessment, after making such investigations as they consider necessary, of the merits of purchasing NFTs. Purchasers should consult and rely upon their accounting, legal and tax representatives and advisers in order to evaluate the economic, legal and tax consequences of purchasing the NFTs.
Purchasers must also investigate themselves as to the regulations within the countries of their nationality, residence, ordinary residence or domicile regarding purchasing the NFTs, including, but not limited to, restrictions or regulations regarding buying, holding, trading or disposing of non-fungible cryptographic tokens, fungible cryptographic tokens, or virtual currencies in general. Dinola Studio does not offer to sell NFTs and is not soliciting the purchase of the NFTs in any jurisdiction or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction.

2. Peppers
NFTs are digital collectibles in the form of non-fungible cryptographic tokens which are minted through the Pepper Attack Platform and can be used within the games of the Pepper Attack Platform. They are able to be held in a digital wallet and are able to be transferred to other digital wallets.
NFTs are non-fungible tokens designed to be used within the games of the Platform. NFTs have an expected future usage solely within the games of the Platform, and such usage will involve active participation in the Platform to ensure that its function and value proposition are realized.
NFTs are not a security of any kind, and they do not represent any right to vote, manage, or share in the profits or proceeds of any legal entity. NFTs do not represent ownership of any tangible or intangible asset, and they are not redeemable by any legal entity. Dinola Studio does not guarantee or suggest any economic return from purchasing the NFTs, and you should not purchase NFTs for any speculative purposes. Purchase of the NFTs should be without expectation of any profit, dividend, capital gain, financial yield or any other return, payment or income of any kind.
No language in this Purchase Agreement, the Whitepaper, the Materials, or on the Website should be understood, deemed, interpreted or construed, under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, to equate NFTs to any kind of:
1. money, legal tender or currency, whether fiat or otherwise;
2. equity or proprietary interest in any entity, scheme, venture or intellectual property;
3. investment in any entity, common enterprise, scheme or venture, taking any form, whether equity, debt, or as a commodity (or any combination thereof, whether to be delivered in the future or otherwise);

6. asset or commodity (whether to be delivered in the future or otherwise), including any asset or commodity that any person or entity is obliged to repurchase or redeem.
Every Purchaser shall have the sole responsibility to attend to and exercise due care with regard to delivery of NFTs. It is imperative that a Purchaser utilizes a digital wallet controlled by such Purchaser which is compatible with the NFTs.
Further, once NFTs are delivered to a Purchaser’s digital wallet, Purchaser should ensure the private keys relating to such digital wallet are stored securely. Dinola Studio shall not be liable for any loss or theft after delivery (or simultaneously at the time of attempted delivery) of NFTs to the purchaser's digital wallet, regardless of the reason for such loss or theft.

If you transfer NFTs to other persons through the Platform, Dinola Studio does not have any insight into or control over these payments or transactions, nor does it have the ability to reverse any transactions.

8.Risk Factors
The Purchaser (i) is able to bear the economic cost of holding the NFTs for an indefinite period of time; (ii) has adequate means of providing for his, her, or its current needs and possible personal contingencies even in the event that the NFTs lose all of its value; and (iii) has no need for liquidity of the NFTs. The Purchaser is solely responsible for reviewing, understanding and considering the risks below and any additional risks, including without limitation those described in the Purchase Agreement and the Materials. Dinola Studio’s operations, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected by any one or more of those risk factors, as could the underlying value of each Purchaser’s NFTs, which may lead to the NFTs losing all value. Risk Factors, include but are not limited to the following:
- 1.Regulation of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies, which include NFTs, and of transactions such as the sale of NFTs lack uniformity and are unsettled in many jurisdictions. These regulations are evolving rapidly, are subject to significant variation among international jurisdictions and are generally subject to significant uncertainty. Dinola Studio or the Dinola Studio Parties may receive queries, notices, warnings, requests or rulings from one or more regulatory authorities from time to time, or may even be ordered to suspend or discontinue any action in connection with Platform or with the sale of NFTs. In such a case, the value or utility of NFTs within the games of the Platform may be negatively affected, or may even decrease to zero. There is no guarantee that the value of NFTs and the Platform will not suffer as a result of new laws or regulations or by the new enforcement or interpretation of current laws or regulations.
- 2.Cryptography is constantly evolving and current systems cannot guarantee absolute security going forward. Advances in cryptographic methods or algorithms, or with technology, such as with quantum computing, could present risks to all cryptography-based systems, including NFTs. These advances could result in the theft, loss, disappearance, destruction or devaluation of NFTs. There can be no guarantee that the value or security of NFTs will not be destroyed or negatively impacted by the future developments in the field of cryptography.
- 3.The Dinola Studio Parties could prove to be incapable of effective development of the Platform due to a variety of reasons, such as due to a lack of managerial skill, due to technical difficulties, or due to a lack of resources. Accordingly, the development of Platform could fail or even be aborted in the future, which would likely negatively affect the value and utility of NFTs within the games of the Platform. There can be no guarantee that the Platform shall be continued to be developed effectively or at all.
- 4.There have been many documented incidents of thefts and attempted thefts of cryptocurrency. Dinola Studio and, subsequently, the Dinola Studio Parties may hold large amounts of cryptocurrency in the form of BTC, ETH, NFTs or other cryptocurrencies following the sale of NFTs, and the Public Distribution. This may make such Dinola Studio Parties the target of cryptocurrency thieves and scammers. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of cryptocurrency, there likely will always be a risk of vulnerability to theft even with adherence to security best practices. There can be no guarantee that Dinola Studio or the Dinola Studio Parties will not be a victim of cryptocurrency theft, the result of which may adversely affect Platform and therefore the value and utility of NFTs within the games of the Platform.
- 5.No one can guarantee the source code of Platform or the relevant blockchain to be flaw-free. Flaws, errors, defects and bugs may disable functionality for users, expose users' information or otherwise negatively impact users. This could compromise the usability, stability, and/or security of the Platform and the relevant blockchain and consequently adversely impact the value and utility of NFTs within the games of the Platform.
- 6.Blockchains are public, unpermissioned and thus vulnerable to being overwhelmed with traffic. Whether due to an intentional and malicious attack, or whether due to the popularity of a blockchain-related event, the relevant blockchain may from time to time be flooded with requests for transactions that utilizes all its throughput capacity. This leaves the Platform and the relevant blockchains largely inaccessible for many users. If Dinola Studio Developers are unable to address scalability issues, Platform congestion may adversely affect the usability of NFTs, thereby decreasing its value and utility within the games of the Platform..
- 7.The relevant blockchains are an open source protocol. Anyone may clone the source code of relevant blockchains and develop a diverging blockchain protocol without prior permission by anyone else. The acceptance and support for such a divergent blockchain by some faction of the Dinola Studio community could result in a "fork" in the relevant blockchains. The existence of one or more forks in the relevant blockchains may undermine the usability and sustainability of NFTs, which could adversely impact the operation of the Platform and the utility and value of the Token.
- 8.NFTs stored in a digital wallet are accessible by a private key, which is simply a unique string of text. The loss or destruction of a digital wallet's private key may render the NFTs on such a wallet inaccessible. Further, if a private key is learned or copied by another person, that person will be able to steal the NFTs (and any other cryptocurrency or digital tokens) stored on the digital wallet. Purchasers are required to safeguard the private keys of their digital wallets. Neither Dinola Studio nor the Dinola Studio Parties will be liable for any losses due to any situation in which a private key is lost, divulged, destroyed or otherwise compromised.
- 9.NFTs are digital collectibles. They are not a currency, and the are not secured by any hard assets or other credit. The liquidity or trading of NFTs on a market outside of the Platform is not the objective or responsibility of Dinola Studio or the Dinola Studio Parties. There may be no marketplace facilitating NFTs for trade or exchange with cryptocurrency or fiat currency. Further, should NFTs ever be listed for sale on an outside market, neither Dinola Studio nor the Dinola Studio Parties will be obliged to concern itself with, or to take action with regard to the pricing, supply or regulation of NFTs on such market or exchange.
- 10.Certain parts of the Platform's underlying protocol will be based on open-source computer code which may restrict or make impractical a claim of copyright or any other type of intellectual property right with respect to the source code. As a result, anyone can legally copy, replicate, reproduce, engineer, modify, upgrade, improve, recode, reprogram or otherwise utilize the source code and/or underlying protocol of Platform in an attempt to develop a competing protocol, software, system or digital platform. Such competition may find success or ultimately even overshadow or overtake the popularity or functionality of the Platform. Dinola Studio and the Dinola Studio Parties will in no case be capable of eliminating, preventing, restricting or minimizing such competing efforts that aim to contest with or overtake Platform.
- 11.Services or programs which may be banned, restricted or deemed immoral in certain jurisdictions, such as gambling, betting, lottery, sweepstake, pornography, terrorism, hate crime and otherwise, could take advantage of the unpermissioned nature of Platform to develop, promote, market or operate. Regulators of a number of jurisdictions may accordingly take administrative or judicial actions against such programs, applications, services or even the relevant developers or users thereof. Any penal action, sanction, crackdown or other regulatory effort made by any government, quasi-government, authority or public body (including but not limited to any regulatory body of any jurisdiction) may significantly deter existing or potential users away from using the Platform or holding NFTs. In such circumstances, the prospects and viability of Platform may be adversely impacted. There is no guarantee that the Platform will be free from all inappropriate, illegal or immoral use at any time.
- 12.As part of the process for the sale of NFTs, Dinola Studio may collect and retain personal information from Purchasers. The collection and retention of such information is subject to applicable laws and regulations. Further, databases holding such information are vulnerable to breaches and other forms of unauthorized access. The Dinola Studio Parties may be required to expend significant financial resources to alleviate problems caused by any breaches or losses, settle fines and resolve inquiries from regulatory or government authorities. Any information breaches or losses will also damage the Dinola Studio Parties's reputation and thereby may harm the Platform.
- 13.Tax laws and regulations are highly complex and subject to interpretation, especially when cross-border transactions and multiple tax jurisdictions are involved. Consequently, Dinola Studio and the Dinola Studio Parties are subject to changing tax laws, treaties and regulations. If any tax authority successfully challenges the operational structure of the sale of NFTs or Platform, or if Dinola Studio or the Dinola Studio Parties loses a material tax dispute, the Dinola Studio Parties' tax liabilities could increase substantially. This could cause the Dinola Studio Parties's financial resources to be constrained or impaired, and could cause the Dinola Studio Parties to redomicile or to alter its legal entity structure in order to optimize its tax situation. This in turn could negatively affect the Dinola Studio Parties' ability to manage and grow the Platform, which would negatively impact the utility within the Platform and value of NFTs.
- 14.The taxation of cryptographic tokens, including NFTs, is an evolving area of law and often varies widely between jurisdictions. Purchasing and/or selling NFTs may have tax reporting implications and may create liabilities for Purchasers, depending on their tax jurisdiction and situation. Purchasers are urged to consult their tax advisors prior to participating in a sale of NFTs. Dinola Studio and the Dinola Studio Parties expressly disclaim responsibility and liability for the tax treatment and tax obligations arising from purchasing NFTs.
