The number of Tokens which may be acquired per BTC is set per respective rate of USD/BTC at the time of purchase. The Company will only accept contributions made in USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, RUB, JPY, CHF, ETH, XRP, LTC, DASH and BTC, the assets that Company will accept as the exchangeable values for Tokens. Company reserves the right to lower or increase the price per Coin, at its sole discretion, during the Token Sale Period. ETH, XRP, LTC, DASH and BTC will be collectively identified as “Legacy Coins”.
Tokens to be Sold
The Company anticipates distributing the number of tokens as indicated in the company White Paper during the entire Token Sale Period. The Tokens to be sold to the public during the Token Sale Period will be from a pool of Company-owned Tokens transferred from the Company Custodial Wallet to the Purchasers’ owned wallets. All Tokens will be of equal value and functionality.
Commencement, Duration and Completion of Token Sale
The Company will conduct a Token sale (the “Sale Period”), pursuant to the times and dates as published on the website WWW.GEWEL.IO (the “Launch Date”).
Procedures for Buying and Receiving Tokens
To receive Tokens during the Sale Period, you must have certain Token wallets established and operational. Specifically, you must have: (i) either a wallet suitable for the type of cryptocurrency you wish to purchase GEWEL Tokens in, or (ii) a GEWEL Wallet in order to receive Tokens that you purchase from the Company. Company reserves the right to prescribe additional guidance regarding specific wallet requirements. The company may issue all users with a wallet facility but it is recommended that you acquire your own to transfer tokens after the ICO has finished.
At the Launch Date, Company will make available a web application to facilitate your purchase and receipt of Tokens. If you wish to purchase Tokens, you must first own one of the Legacy Coins as listed on the website. You will then transfer your Legacy Coins onto the GEWEL, INC web application. This can only be done after the necessary KYC has been undertaken.
After KYC. The web application will then provide you with a unique deposit address for Bitcoin (if you wish to use Bitcoin contribution) or Ether (if you wish you use Ether) and so on. Once the unique deposit address has received a Legacy Coin from you, you will then be free to authorize the Smart web application to deliver Tokens to the GEWEL wallet address that you are issued on the platform. The company will do this automatically. Once you have acquired the GEWEL Tokens you will be unable to use, transfer, or exchange them until after the ICO has concluded.
The Company anticipates that Tokens will be free to use for purchasers within three weeks after the
Sale Period concludes, but reserves the right to delay delivery up to four weeks after the conclusion of the Sale Period. Although the Company does not anticipate any security issues arising from the sale of Tokens, this four week time frame is intended as a precautionary buffer period for Company to conduct audit procedures and to resolve any such security issues.
Token Allocation
The Company anticipates the following Token allocation among the contributors. For full detail participants should see the company White Paper and associated documentation. Parties that will receive tokens in the allocation in accordance with the estimates as laid out in the White Paper. All figures listed in the White Paper are for reference only and can be changed by the company both during and after the sale.
Any Tokens not sold during the Sale Period may be retained by the Company (the “Retained Tokens”) and allocated to the Development Fund. The Token amount in a Development Fund will be used at the company's direction, as required to meet the objectives of the company.
The Company currently anticipates using the Tokens from Development Fund to distribute to new users, compensate employees (including salaries and non-salary compensation), to fund future development of the Network, provide grants to (or purchase equity stakes in) third-parties working on projects in the GEWEL, INC ecosystem, donate Tokens to non-profit entities, and support general development of the GEWEL, INC ecosystem. These anticipated purposes are listed for illustration only, and Company reserves the right to use Development Fund Tokens for these purposes (or others) at its sole discretion.
Tokens or Sale Proceeds Retained by Founders and Existing Early Backers
Except to the extent paid as compensation for work performed for the Company, neither the founders nor the existing backers, supporters, and certain users of the Company and its network, services and products will receive Retained Tokens from Company or any amount of the Legacy Coins that is used to purchase Tokens from Company during the Sale Period other than the percentages listed as part of the breakdown contained in the Terms of Sale.
Pre-Sales of Tokens
The Company has committed to sell a certain portion of Tokens before the Launch Date (“Token Pre Sales”). Under such Token Pre-Sale arrangements, by agreeing to pay Company for Tokens before the Launch Date, a Token Pre-Sale purchaser purchased Tokens at a discounted rate. Token Pre-Sale purchasers, and others such as contractors or other service providers, must acknowledge and agree to be bound by these Terms, and receive Tokens pursuant to the procedures for receiving Tokens set forth in this Exhibit B, subject to time-lock periods described thereafter. The discounts and time-lock periods under Token Pre-Sale arrangements generally depended on the amount of Tokens that the Pre-Sale purchaser agreed to purchase or the services for which contractors have provided.
Use of Proceeds from Token Sale
The proceeds from Company’s sale of Tokens will be used to compensate technical and non-technical staff, cover marketing costs and operating expenses, and develop technical infrastructure, among other purposes as summarized in the breakdown set forth in the Terms of Sale.
Currently, we envision that our development of technical infrastructure will focus on two primary areas. The first area of development involves strengthening and enhancement of our existing Network, Services and related infrastructure, offering technology and services for cross-border remittances, merchant payments, and currency exchange as described in the Site and accompanying documents.
The second area of development involves our anticipated initiatives for creating new tools, capabilities and functions for the Services and Network expansion on an international basis. These initiatives are currently anticipated to include (i) business development involving integration with 3rd-party gateways to provide content on the network; (ii) developing a variety of software business tools that are useful to the broader ecosystem, including the first fully turnkey, easily deploy-able, customizable ICO offering; (iii) financing external teams working on applications leveraging the network; (iv) developing and contribute to industry or regulatory standards for ICO's built on GEWEL blockchain technology and accessible from mobile devices; (v) creating ancillary technology related to the network and its objectives; and (vi) developing integrations via partnerships. Some of these anticipated initiatives are described in more detail in our Whitepaper.
At a more detailed level, the following is an overview of how the Company currently anticipates using the proceeds from the sale of Tokens:
*System Development, IT:
*Marketing and Business Development:
*Operations, Legal, Customer Support:
*Working Capital for Crypto cash Exchangers:
System, Technical Development and Staff, IT: The Company aims to grow anticipating it will need to attract and assign engineers with a variety of skillsets, in order to fully staff its different development teams. These include dedicated teams working on tools, upgrades to the distributed systems, infrastructure and network stability, novel technologies and general research.
Marketing and Business Development: Through its marketing staff, Company will undertake a variety of marketing-related projects and initiatives, including in-person events, press outreach, advertisements, and promotional content, analytics and customer management tools.

Exhibit C
ACKNOWLEDGMENT and ASSUMPTION of RISKS
Certain Risk Factors Relating to Purchase, Sale and Use of Tokens
Important Note: As noted elsewhere in these Terms, the Tokens are not being structured or sold as securities or any other form of investment product. Accordingly, none of the information presented in this Exhibit C is intended to form the basis for any investment decision, and no specific recommendations are intended. Company expressly disclaims any and all responsibility for any direct or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever arising directly or indirectly from: (i) reliance on any information contained in this Exhibit C, (ii) any error, omission or inaccuracy in any such information or (iii) any action resulting from such information.
By purchasing, holding and using Tokens, you expressly acknowledge and assume the following risks:
Risk of Losing Access to Tokens Due to Loss of Private Key(s)
A private key, or a combination of private keys, is necessary to control and dispose of Tokens stored in your digital wallet. Accordingly, loss of requisite private key(s) associated with your digital wallet storing Tokens will result in loss of such Tokens. 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 Tokens.
Risks Associated with the Gewel Protocol
Because Tokens and the Network are based on the GEWEL protocol, any malfunction, breakdown or abandonment of the GEWEL protocol may have a material adverse effect on the Network or Tokens.
Moreover, advances in cryptography, or technical advances such as the development of quantum computing, could present risks to the Tokens and the Network by rendering ineffective the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins the GEWEL protocol.
Risk of Forging Attacks
The Tokens are susceptible to attacks by forgers in the course of validating Token transactions on the GEWEL blockchain, including, but not limited, to double-spend attacks, majority mining power attacks, and selfish-mining attacks. Any successful attacks present a risk to the Network and the Tokens, including, but not limited to, accurate execution and recording of transactions involving Tokens.
Risk of Hacking and Security Weaknesses
Hackers or other malicious groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with the Network or the Tokens in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, treasury vulnerability, malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, man in the middle, Sybil attacks, smurfing and spoofing.
Furthermore, because the Network 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 Network, which could negatively affect the Network and the Tokens.
Hackers or other groups or organizations may attempt to steal the revenue from the initial sale, thus potentially impacting the ability of GEWEL, INC to develop the GEWEL, INC Platform and operate the Network.
To account for this risk, GEWEL, INC has and will continue to implement comprehensive security precautions to safeguard the proceeds obtained from the sale of Tokens. Multi-factor security measures will be taken to protect all currencies and proceeds including physical elements, algorithms, multisignature keys, anti-spear-phishing procedures, splitting of funds, hot/cold wallet partitioning and diversification. Moreover, regular security audits of hot and cold wallets will be conducted by internal and external teams. As acknowledged, there is always a risk that the GEWEL, INC Team, or other third parties not directly affiliated with the Parties, may intentionally or unintentionally introduce weaknesses or bugs into the core infrastructural elements of the GEWEL, INC Platform causing the system to lose Tokens stored in one or more Purchaser accounts or other accounts or lose sums of other valued Tokens issued on the GEWEL, INC Platform. GEWEL, INC has taken steps to build, maintain, and secure the infrastructure of the GEWEL, INC Platform, and will continue to do so after the initial sale. For example, GEWEL, INC intends to hire external consultants on a periodic basis to assess and audit the security of the GEWEL, INC Platform and will work with cryptography and security experts to develop and employ best practices to audit the Platform. As acknowledged by both parties, advances in code cracking, or technical advances such as the development of quantum computers, could present risks to cryptocurrencies and the GEWEL, INC Platform, which could result in the theft or loss of Tokens or other valuable assets. To the extent possible, Tokens intends to update the protocol underlying the GEWEL, INC Platform to account for any advances in cryptography and to incorporate additional security measures, but it cannot predict the future of cryptography or the success of any future security updates. As with other cryptocurrencies, the blockchain used for the GEWEL, INC Platform is susceptible to mining attacks, among others. Any successful attacks present a risk to the GEWEL Platform generally, and the GEWEL, INC network specifically, effecting expected proper execution and sequencing of Tokens transactions, and expected proper execution and sequencing of contract computations, as well as other potential losses identified here as risk factors, in addition to those unidentified or unexpected. The purchase of Tokens carries with these significant risks. Prior to purchasing Tokens, the Purchaser should carefully consider the risks herein identified, and, to the extent necessary, consult experts of your choosing (cryptographic and cyber security specialists, lawyers, accountants, and/or other professionals) prior to determining whether to purchase Tokens.
Risks Associated with Markets for Tokens
The Tokens are intended to be used solely within the Network, and Company will not support or otherwise facilitate any secondary trading or external valuation of Tokens. This restricts the contemplated avenues for using Tokens to the provision or receipt of Services, and could therefore create illiquidity risk with respect to the Tokens you hold. Even if secondary trading of Tokens 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 Tokens (e.g., as denominated in a digital or fiat currency), such value may be extremely volatile and diminish to zero.
Risk of Uninsured Losses
Unlike bank accounts or accounts at some other financial institutions, Tokens are 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, such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or private insurance arranged by us, to offer recourse to you.
Risks Associated with Uncertain Regulations and Enforcement Actions
The regulatory status of the Tokens 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 Network and the Tokens. 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 Network and the Tokens. Regulatory actions could negatively impact the Network and the Tokens in various ways, including, for purposes of illustration only, through a determination that Tokens are a regulated financial instrument that require registration or licensing. Company may cease operations in a jurisdiction in the event that regulatory actions, or changes to law or regulation, make it illegal to operate in such jurisdiction, or commercially undesirable to obtain the necessary regulatory approval(s) to operate in such jurisdiction.
Risks Arising from Taxation
The tax characterization of Tokens is uncertain. You must seek your own tax advice in connection with purchasing Tokens, which may result in adverse tax consequences to you, including withholding taxes, income taxes and tax reporting requirements.
Risk of Alternative Networks
It is possible that alternative networks could be established that utilize the same open source code and protocol underlying the Network and attempt to facilitate services that are materially similar to the Services. The Network may compete with these alternative networks, which could negatively impact the Network and Tokens.
Risk of Insufficient Interest in the Network or Distributed Applications
It is possible that the Network will not be used by a large number of individuals, companies and other entities or that there will be limited public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems (such as the Network) more generally. Such a lack of use or interest could negatively impact the development of the Network and therefore the potential utility of Tokens.
Risks Associated with the Development and Maintenance of the Network
The Network is still under development and may undergo significant changes over time. Although we intend for the Tokens and Network to follow the specifications set forth in our Terms and Conditions, and throughout or site, and intend to take commercially reasonable steps toward those ends, we may have to make changes to the specifications of the Tokens or Network for any number of legitimate reasons.
This could create the risk that the Tokens or Network, as further developed and maintained, may not meet your expectations at the time of purchase. Furthermore, despite our good faith efforts to develop and maintain the Network, it is still possible that the Network will experience malfunctions or otherwise fail to be adequately developed or maintained, which may negatively impact the Network and Tokens.
Risk of an Unfavorable Fluctuation of Currency Value
The Company team intends to use the proceeds from selling Tokens to fund the maintenance and development of the Network, as described further in the Terms of Sale. The proceeds of the Token sale will be denominated in Legacy Coins, and converted into other cryptographic and fiat currencies. In addition, some pre-sales of the Tokens may also be denominated in fiat currencies. If the value of currencies fluctuates unfavorably during or after the Sale Period, the Company team may not be able to fund development, or may not be able to develop or maintain the Network in the manner that it intended.
Risk of Dissolution of the Company or Network
It is possible that, due to any number of reasons, including, but not limited to, an unfavorable fluctuation in the value of cryptographic and fiat currencies, decrease in the Tokens’ utility, the failure of commercial relationships, or intellectual property ownership challenges, the Network may no longer be viable to operate and the Company may dissolve.
Risks Arising from Lack of Governance Rights
Because Tokens confer no governance rights of any kind with respect to the Network or Company or its corporate affiliates, all decisions involving the Network or Company will be made by Company at its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, decisions to discontinue the Network, to create and sell more Tokens for use in the Network, or to sell or liquidate the Company. These decisions could adversely affect the Network and the Tokens you hold.
Risks Involving Cloud Storage
As the Company provides services to individual and institutional clients, including users and applications which involves data storage to some extent, the Services are susceptible to a number of risks related to the storage of data in the cloud. While the Company does not have access to the contents of the data stored through the Services, the Services may involve the storage of large amounts of sensitive and/or proprietary information, which may be compromised in the event of a cyber- attack or other malicious activity. Similarly, the Services may be interrupted and files may become temporarily unavailable in the event of such an attack or malicious activity. Because users can use a variety of hardware and software that may interface with the Network, there is the risk that the Services may become unavailable or interrupted based on a failure of interoperability or an inability to integrate these third-party systems and devices that the Company does not control with the Company’s Services.
The risk that the Services may face increasing interruptions and the Network may face additional security vulnerabilities could adversely affect the Network and therefore the future utility of any Tokens that you hold.
Unanticipated Risks
Cryptographic Tokens such as GEWEL, INC are a new and untested technology. In addition to the risks included in this Exhibit C, there are other risks associated with your purchase, holding and use of Tokens, including those that the Company cannot anticipate. Such risks may further materialize as unanticipated variations or combinations of the risks discussed in this Exhibit C.
