As a user of Roji, please be aware of the potential risks:

- Changes or actions at the state, federal, or international level in terms of legislation and regulation may negatively impact the use, transfer, exchange, and value of assets.

- If an Asset-Backed NFT is lost, the only recourse to redeem your asset is through the Storage Provider. You will need to prove your identity and ownership in such instances.
- Transactions involving tokens and NFTs may be irreversible, so losses from fraudulent or accidental transactions might be irrecoverable.
- Transaction confirmation times can vary. Some transactions on the Roji Platform are only confirmed when recorded on a public ledger, which is not necessarily the date or time when you initiated the transaction.
- The inherent nature of Asset-Backed NFTs may increase the risk of fraud or cyber-attack. Technological difficulties with the platform storing the Asset-Backed NFTs might also hinder your access to or use of your digital receipts.
It is crucial to remember that you bear sole responsibility for understanding and evaluating these risks.

You agree and understand that you access and use the Platform at your own risk; these risks associated with the assets are not limited to Asset-Backed NFTs and other digital assets.
