Any provisions in these Site Terms which, by their nature, would be intended to survive termination or expiration of these Site Terms, shall survive the termination or expiration of your access to or use of the Quest Site or these Site Terms, including those provisions which expressly survive such termination or expiration.
10. DISCLAIMERS
10.1 Limited promises. You expressly understand and agree that we not make any promises or statements to you that:
(a) your access to or use of the Quest Site will meet your requirements;
(b) your access to or use of the Quest Site will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or free from error;
(c) usage data provided through the Quest Site will be accurate, complete or up-to-date;
(d) the Quest Site or any content, services, or features made available on or through the Quest Site are free of viruses or other harmful components; or
(e) that any data that you disclose when you use the Quest Site will be secure. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties in contracts with consumers, so some or all of the above exclusions may not apply to you.
10.2 Value of tez or other blockchain assets. The value of each tez and blockchain asset is inherently subjective. A tez or other blockchain asset may have no inherent or intrinsic value.
10.3 Information risk. You accept that the content on the Quest Site is provided as general information only and is not special to you or the way or purpose for which you wish to use the Quest Site and the available services. None of the information provided is intended to be technical, professional, or any other form of advice that considers your needs and circumstances and therefore, none of the information should be relied on as such. You must obtain professional or specialist advice before taking, or refraining from, any action based on the content on the Quest Site.
10.4 Internet risk. You accept the inherent security risks of providing information and dealing online over the internet.
10.5 Wallet risk. We will not be responsible or liable to you for any losses you incur as the result of your use of the Tezos or your Tezos Wallet, including but not limited to any losses, damages or claims arising from:
(f) user error, such as forgotten passwords or incorrectly construed smart contracts or other transactions;
(g) server failure or data loss;
(h) corrupted Tezos Wallet files; or
(i) unauthorized access or activities by third parties, including, but not limited to, the use of viruses, phishing, brute-forcing or other means of attack against the Quest Site, Tezos, or any Tezos Wallet.
10.6 Blockchain risks. We are not responsible for losses due to failures of the Tezos Network or the Tezos Technologies, or any Tezos Wallet, or any other operational aspects of Tezos, including but not limited to late or no disclosure by developers or representatives (or no reporting at all) of any issues with Tezos.
10.7 Transaction risk. We will not be responsible or liable to you for any losses you may incur by transacting, transferring, or facilitating transactions relating to tez or other other blockchain assets outside the Quest Site. Any transfer, claim, or sale of tez or other blockchain assets you make, accept, or facilitate outside the Quest Site will be entirely at your own risk. We do not assume any responsibility for other than transactions made between us and you via the Quest Site, subject to these Site Terms.
10.8 Value and Volatility. The prices of cryptocurrencies created using blockchain technology and networks are extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of your tez or other blockchain assets, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. We cannot guarantee that any amount of tez claimed, or any other blockchain assets claimed will retain their original value, as the value of cryptocurrencies is inherently volatile and factors occurring outside of the blockchain ecosystem may materially impact its value and desirability.
10.9 Tax Calculations. You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, income, capital gains, inheritance, or other taxes that may be charged by a competent tax authority in relation to your transactions.
10.10 Use of Blockchain. the Quest Site does not store, send, or receive tez or other blockchain assets. This is because the tez or other blockchain assets offered and sold to you as a Quest Benefit via the Quest Site exist only by virtue of the ownership created, recorded, and maintained through the Tezos Network. Any transfer of tez or Tokens occurs within the Tezos Network, and not via the Quest Site.
10.11 Regulatory Uncertainty. The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies and tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the blockchain ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of your tez or other blockchain assets. We are not responsible for the impact that any future regulations or laws may have on the ownership, transfer, or display of tez or other blockchain assets.
10.12 Software Risks. Upgrades to the Tezos Technologies or a change in how transactions are confirmed through Tezos may have unintended, adverse effects on all tez or other blockchain assets.
11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
11.1 You have certain legal rights under the law.

11.2 We are responsible for losses you suffer caused by us breaking these Site Terms unless the loss is: (i) unexpected, so it was not obvious that it would happen and nothing you said to us before we accepted your order meant we should have expected it (so, in the law, the loss was unforeseeable) (ii) caused by a Force Majeure Event; (iii) avoidable, and something you could have avoided by taking reasonable action; or (iv) a business loss that relates to your use of the Quest Site for the purposes of your trade, business, craft or profession.

We will resume the performance of our obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the removal of the cause. If our failure or delay remains uncured for a period of forty-five (45) consecutive days following written notice given by us under this Section 13, we may terminate these Site Terms upon fifteen (15) days' written notice.
14. CHANGES TO THE SITE
14.1 We are constantly innovating the Quest Site to help provide the best possible experience. You acknowledge and agree that the form and nature of the Quest Site, and any part of it, may change from time to time without prior notice to you, and that we may add new features and change any part of the Quest Site at any time without notice.

15.4 If we reasonably consider that any change to the Site Terms will negatively impact your legal rights or obligations in a significant way, we will provide you with at least 30 days’ notice of these changes, and if you do not wish to accept the new terms, give you an option to terminate these Site Terms.
15.5 If you do not refuse to accept any such changes before they take place, we will take that as your acceptance of the changes.
