6.1 RISKS

6.1.1 The use of technology related to blockchain, smart contracts, and cryptocurrencies, among others, entails a risk that by accessing transactions, you are assuming. The DAO does not own or control any underlying software through which blockchain networks are formed.

You expressly relieve the DAO of all liability arising from using such resources or participating in such promotions.
