2. Services
2.1 Provision of Services
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including full and timely payment of the Services Fee by the Customer, the Company agrees to provide the Customer the services of operating a certain amount of computing power on the Pearl Network, in the scope selected by the Customer when ordering the Services on the Company's website, during the Term (the "Services"). The Services shall be rendered by the Company on a 'reasonable commercial efforts' basis. The right to receive the Services is personal to the Customer, and is non-transferable and non-sublicensable.
2.2 Output of the Services
The output of the Services shall be the Pearl Tokens that actually result from the mining activities on the Pearl Network conducted by the Company within the scope of the Services. The Company may aggregate the computing power purchased by the Customer with the computing power purchased by other customers of the Services, and allocate the generated Pearl Tokens among the Customer and such other customers proportionately to the amount of computing power purchased by each customer. The actual mining output is subject to various factors that are not under the control of the Company, which are more fully described in Section 6 below.
2.3 Token Distribution
The delivery of the Pearl Tokens due to the Customer in accordance with Section 2.2 shall be made by the Company delivering such Pearl Tokens to a Wallet Address designated by the Customer in the method required by the Company. The Pearl Tokens mined each 24-hour period during the Term will be delivered by the Company to the Customer on a daily basis.
2.4 Network Fees
Any network fees required to be paid by the Company in order to deliver the Pearl Tokens to the Customer will be deducted from the Pearl Tokens deliverable to the Customer.
2.5 Network Forks
In the event of any Blockchain Fork in the Pearl Network that results in the Company receiving any other blockchain tokens in respect of the Pearl Tokens mined by it as part of the Services ("Forked Tokens"), any such Forked Tokens will be added to the Pearl Tokens due to the Customer at the next Token Distribution Time. The Company does not commit to mine on any Blockchain that is a Forked version of the Pearl Network as part of the Services, and the decision as to whether to do so or not will be made by the Company in its sole discretion.
3. Consideration
3.1 In consideration for the performance of the Services, the Customer shall pay the Company a fixed fee as follows:
(a) Service Packages. The Customer shall select one of the service packages offered on the Company's website at the time of purchase (each, a "Service Package"). Each Service Package includes a defined scope and duration of Services for a fixed price (the "Service Fee"), as specified on the Company's website at the time of subscription. The Service Fee is based, among other things, on the cost of obtaining the underlying computing power and electricity, which are outside of the control of the Company.
(b) Payment Terms. The Service Fee is payable in full in advance and is non-refundable, except as expressly stated otherwise herein or as required by applicable law.
(c) Changes to Packages. The Company reserves the right to modify, update, or discontinue any Service Packages or pricing at its sole discretion.
(d) Excess Compute Power. In the event that the Services Fee amount purchases compute power in excess of the Service Package that you purchased, the Company will retain the Pearl Coins mined using the excess compute power, as additional consideration to the Services Fee.
3.2 All payments hereunder are final and non-refundable.
3.3 The Company shall be entitled to deduct and retain the Pearl Tokens (and, if applicable, Forked Tokens) due as the Services Fee from the Pearl Tokens otherwise deliverable to the Customer at the applicable Token Distribution Time.
3.4 The Services Fee and any other amounts payable under this Agreement are exclusive of all sales, use, value-added, withholding, and other direct or indirect taxes, charges, levies, duties and/or governmental charges (collectively, "Taxes"). The Customer is responsible for any and all applicable Taxes.
4. Intellectual Property Rights
The Services, any equipment and software used to provide the Services and any derivatives thereof, other than the Pearl Tokens to which the Customer is entitled hereunder, are the sole property of the Company and/or its service providers. All right, title, and interest, including any intellectual property rights evidenced by or embodied in, attached, connected, and/or related to the Services are and shall remain owned solely by the Company and/or its service providers. This Agreement does not convey to the Customer any interest in or to the Services other than a limited right to receive the Services in accordance with this Agreement. Nothing herein constitutes a waiver of the Company's intellectual property rights under any law.
5. Confidential Information
5.1 "Confidential Information" means all non-public information, in any form whatsoever, tangible or intangible, which has previously been disclosed and/or which shall further be disclosed to, or learned by, the Customer from the Company or in connection with the Services. This includes information concerning past, present or future ideas, research and development, know-how, trade secrets, software, inventions, formulas, specifications, business and marketing plans, financial data, and any other business activities.
Confidential Information shall not include information that is: (i) publicly available through no act or omission of the receiving party; (ii) legitimately obtained without restriction from a source other than the disclosing party; or (iii) explicitly approved for release by written authorization of the disclosing party.
5.2 The Customer shall keep the Confidential Information confidential using at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information (in any event, no less than a reasonable degree of care), and shall refrain from disclosing or facilitating disclosure of Confidential Information to anyone without the Company's prior written consent. If the Customer is required by an order of a court, administrative agency or other government body to disclose Confidential Information, the Customer shall provide the Company with prompt written notice. The obligations of confidentiality shall survive termination of this Agreement and remain in effect for 5 years thereafter.
6. Pearl Network and Tokens Risk Factors
6.1 The Pearl Network, Pearl Tokens and the ability to mine Pearl Tokens are subject to the risk factors set forth in Appendix A hereto, which the Customer represents to having read thoroughly. The Customer acknowledges and agrees to such risk factors and to bear the risks described therein.
6.2 Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, the Company may cease delivering the Services and any Pearl Tokens, and may terminate these Terms, at any time, in the event that the Company determines in its sole discretion that delivery of such Pearl Tokens would or may cause it to be in violation or default under any law, rule or regulation, or would constitute a risk of money laundering, terrorism financing, sanctions evasion or any other prohibited or unlawful activity.
6.3 The Services require access to substantial computing power (including hashrate capacity, hardware, and related infrastructure). The availability of computing power may be constrained by factors outside of the Company's control, including increased market demand for mining capacity, supply chain constraints, semiconductor and hardware shortages, hosting or data center capacity limitations, power availability constraints, changes in electricity pricing or tariffs, cybersecurity incidents, and changes in applicable laws or regulations. As a result, the Company cannot and does not guarantee that sufficient computing power will be available to perform the Services at any particular time or at an economic or commercially reasonable price.

Appendix A
Risk Factors
- The Pearl Network is currently generated using a "proof of work" consensus mechanism. The Pearl Tokens are issued to "miners," who perform the proof of work consensus mechanism on the Pearl Network. There is no re-mining of Pearl Tokens. Therefore, the total amount of Pearl Tokens and the allocation schedule may be changed due to factors beyond the Company's control. There is no assurance of the liquidity of the Pearl Tokens, and there is no guarantee that a market will develop.
- The Customer acknowledges that the difficulty of mining on the Pearl Network will vary and will increase based on the number of miners on the network.
- The Customer acknowledges that the amount of Pearl Tokens to be mined in accordance with the Agreement may be affected by the Pearl Network's risks, including among others:
- The technology associated with the Pearl Network may not function as intended;
- The Pearl Network reward and miner reward may be delayed or changed due to decisions made by the consensus of participants;
- The Pearl Network may fail to attract sufficient interest from key stakeholders;
- The Pearl Network may not progress satisfactorily and Pearl Tokens may lose all value or may not be generated;
- The Pearl Network will suffer from attacks by hackers or other individuals;
- The Company and/or the Pearl Network may be subject to regulatory developments, investigations and punitive actions from governmental authorities;
- Sufficient mining equipment may not be readily available or may be prohibitively expensive; and
- The Pearl Network is comprised of open-source technologies that depend on a network of computers to run certain software programs to process transactions, and the Company has limited control over the Pearl Network.
- The value of Pearl Tokens will be determined solely based on market factors. Pearl Tokens may have no value.
- The Customer understands and accepts that the Pearl Network uses an in-built decentralized consensus mechanism. If the consensus mechanism is attacked, or becomes controlled by some party who makes unwise decisions, the value of the Pearl Tokens might be greatly reduced or even completely lost.
- Blockchain technology is implemented in a decentralized manner, and relies on unidentified third parties in order to function and operate. Therefore, the Company does not control the function, operation, availability or any other aspect of the Pearl Tokens or the Pearl Network.
- The Customer understands and accepts that the software and hardware, technology and technical concepts usually used by issuers of Blockchain Tokens are still in an early development stage and unproven. There is no warranty that the Pearl Tokens or the Pearl Network will be fully developed, uninterrupted or error-free, and there is an inherent risk that the technology could contain weaknesses, vulnerabilities or bugs, causing the complete loss or malfunction of the Pearl Tokens and/or the Pearl Network.
- Pearl Tokens are usually accessed using a private key that corresponds to the address at which it is stored. If the private key, or the "seed" used to create the address and corresponding private key, are lost or stolen, the Pearl Tokens associated with the Customer's address may be unrecoverable and permanently lost.
