Blockchain & NFT Terms and Disclaimers

Last updated: 28 August 2025Effective date: 28 August 2025

1. Introduction

These Blockchain & NFT Terms ("Blockchain Terms") supplement the Hazelbit Terms of Service and apply specifically to blockchain-based features, including $HZBT utility tokens, $HZTR NFTs, blockchain notarization of certificates, and the use of hosted wallets.

If you use blockchain features, you also accept the third-party blockchain provider's rules and terms (currently Commercio.network, see https://hazelbit.ro/tos).

2. Nature of NFTs and tokens

Not securities or investments

• $HZBT and $HZTR are not securities, investment contracts, shares, debt instruments, e-money, or asset-referenced tokens under EU Regulation 2023/1114 (MiCAR).

• They do not represent ownership of Hazelbit SRL or its plantations.

• They are digital access instruments that symbolize participation in Hazelbit's ESG programs.

Utility purpose

• $HZBT utility tokens may be required for acquiring NFTs or accessing specific services.

• $HZTR NFTs symbolize the sponsorship of a hazelnut tree and may grant a Harvest Benefit (see ToS §10).

No guarantee of value or liquidity

• Tokens and NFTs may have no market value.

• They may not be listed on any exchange, or may be delisted at any time.

• Hazelbit does not guarantee convertibility into fiat or crypto.

3. Hosted wallet custody

Custody

• For convenience, Hazelbit (or an authorized partner) may provide a hosted wallet.

• Private keys are stored securely within Hazelbit's systems.

• Users do not have direct access to private keys.

Limitations

• Hazelbit is not responsible for losses caused by user negligence (weak passwords, phishing, device compromise).

• Wallet availability may be affected by network outages, congestion, or third-party failures.

Transfers

• Tokens and NFTs may be transferred only to wallets compatible with the supported blockchain standards (e.g., CW-20 Cosmos for Commercio.network).

• Transfers outside supported environments are at your sole risk.

4. Blockchain permanence

• All blockchain transactions (NFT issuance, token transfers, certificate notarizations) are irreversible.

• Personal data (e.g., wallet addresses, TxIDs) written on chain cannot be altered or erased ("immutability").

• Hazelbit cannot reverse, modify, or delete confirmed transactions.

5. Risks of blockchain use

You acknowledge and accept that:

• Blockchain technology is experimental and evolving.

• There may be bugs, security vulnerabilities, or protocol changes.

• Transactions may fail, be delayed, or incur network fees.

• Market value of tokens/NFTs may fluctuate or collapse to zero.

• Regulatory changes may impact your ability to hold or transfer tokens/NFTs.

• Hazelbit does not provide investment advice.

6. NFT Harvest Benefit disclaimer

Where an NFT includes a Harvest Benefit:

• Actual yields depend on agricultural, environmental, and economic factors.

• Hazelbit provides no guarantee of a minimum or fixed return.

• Redemption of benefits may be limited by logistics, food safety regulations, or force majeure.

• Non-redeemed benefits may expire as described in the Redemption Policy.

7. Prohibited uses

You must not use tokens, NFTs, or blockchain services to:

• Violate AML/CTF or sanctions laws.

• Engage in market manipulation, speculative trading in prohibited jurisdictions, or tax evasion.

• Circumvent network rules, exploit bugs, or attempt double-spending.

8. No financial advice

Hazelbit does not provide investment, legal, or tax advice. You are solely responsible for:

• Assessing the suitability of tokens/NFTs for your purposes.

• Obtaining independent legal or financial advice.

• Meeting any tax obligations arising from ownership or redemption.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• Hazelbit is not liable for loss of value, access, or functionality of tokens/NFTs due to blockchain risks.

• Hazelbit is not responsible for losses from unauthorized access caused by user negligence.

• Hazelbit's total liability is capped as stated in the Terms of Service.
