This agreement (the "AGREEMENT"), entered into between DA and You as of
the date You indicate your acceptance to the terms of this Agreement
(the "EFFECTIVE DATE"), governs Your access to and use of the Canton
Software, as described below. "DA" means either Digital Asset Holdings,
LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company with offices at 4 World Trade
Center, 150 Greenwich St., 47th Floor, New York, NY 10007, if Your
billing address is located in the United States or Digital Asset
(Switzerland) GmbH, a Swiss company with limited liability, having
offices at Thurgauerstrasse 40, 8050 Zurich, Switzerland, if Your
billing address is outside of the United States. "YOU" or "YOUR" means
the individual or legal entity agreeing to the terms of this Agreement.
Each party may be referred to herein individually as a "PARTY" and
collectively the "PARTIES".
By entering into this Agreement, the Parties agree as follows:
1. PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
1. _COVERED PRODUCTS_. This Agreement covers Your use of a
pre-alpha version of the Canton Software, as defined below.
2. _CANTON SOFTWARE LICENSE_. Subject to Your compliance with this
Agreement, DA grants to You a limited, non-exclusive,
non-transferable, non-sublicensable and non-assignable license
to use Canton Software during the Alpha Term solely for internal
evaluation, non-production demonstrations, prototype
development, or testing (collectively, the "PURPOSE"). "CANTON
SOFTWARE" means any goods, licensed materials, and software made
available for download by DA that relates to its ledger
technology.
3. _AUTHORIZED USERS_. You will ensure that: (a) if You are an
individual, only You, and (b) if You are entering into this
Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, only
that company or entity's employees, its Affiliates and the
employees of its Affiliates who have a need to access and use
the Canton Software (in each case, the "AUTHORIZED USERS") have
access to such Canton Software. You shall be liable for any
breach of any term of this Agreement by any of your Authorized
Users. "AFFILIATE" means, with respect to any entity, any other
entity that, directly or indirectly, through one or more
intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common
control with, such entity. The term "control" means the
possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or
cause the direction of the management and policies of an entity,
whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract,
or otherwise.
4. _YOUR DATA AND APPLICATIONS_. You may only use mock or fake data
with the Canton Software (_e.g._, to develop custom
applications, referred to herein as "CUSTOM APPLICATIONS"; and
collectively with such mock data, "YOUR DATA"). You shall not
use any real-world data with the Canton Software, including but
not limited to data pertaining to real world transactions or
events, persons, entities, or subjects, financial data, or
Personal Information or Sensitive Data. As between You and DA,
You retain ownership of Your Data, subject to DA's ownership
of the Canton Software (including DAML libraries). You shall be
solely responsible and liable with respect to Your Data.
"PERSONAL INFORMATION OR SENSITIVE DATA" means any information
relating to an identified or identifiable natural person,
including any and all similarly protected sensitive data; an
identifiable natural person is one who can be identified,
directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an
identifier such as a name, an identification number, location
data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to
the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural
or social identity of that natural person.
5. _NO SLA OR TECHNICAL SUPPORT_. Alpha products, including the
Canton Software, may not always perform as specified and can be
changed from time to time without notice. With respect to this
alpha program, You acknowledge and agree that DA has no
obligation to provide You with any technical support services in
relation to the Canton Software under this Agreement, and that
no Service Level Agreement ("SLA") or any service credits apply
to Your use of the Canton Software, including with respect to
any failures or degradations of such Software. Support, if any,
will be governed by a separate agreement between DA and You.
2. FEES AND TAXES
During the Alpha Term, the Canton Software is provided at no cost to
You. Any future fees (the "FEES") for the Canton Software will be listed
at [https://www.canton.io/fees.html] and communicated to You in advance of
those Fees becoming effective. DA can change the Fees from time to time
and, by continuing to use the Canton Software after receiving
notification of new Fees becoming effective, You agrees to those Fees,
as applicable. If any authority imposes any duty, tax, levy, or fee
(excluding those based on DA's net income) on the Canton Software or any
support services provided hereunder, You agree that You are responsible
for and will pay any such amount and that You shall indemnify DA from
and against any liability with respect to any amount imposed.
3. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
1. _OWNERSHIP/TITLE_. As between DA and You, during and after the
term of this Agreement, (a) DA exclusively retains and owns all
right, title and interest, including but not limited to any and
all Intellectual Property Rights, in and to the Canton Software,
and (b) You exclusively retain and own all right, title and
interest, including but not limited to any and all Intellectual
Property Rights, in and to Your Data. "INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
RIGHTS" means any (i) copyrights and copyrightable works,
whether registered or unregistered, (ii) trademarks, service
marks, trade dress, logos, registered designs, trade and
business names (including internet domain names, corporate
names, and email address names), whether registered or
unregistered, (iii) patents, patent applications, patent
disclosures, mask works and inventions (whether patentable or
not), (iv) trade secrets, know-how, data privacy rights,
database rights, know-how, and rights in designs, and (v) all
other forms of intellectual property or proprietary rights, in
each case in every jurisdiction worldwide. All rights not
expressly granted to You are retained by DA.
2. _PURPOSE; RESTRICTIONS_. THE CANTON SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY DA
TO YOU DURING THE ALPHA TERM FOR EVALUATION PURPOSES ONLY. You
may use the Canton Software only during the Alpha Term and only
for the Purpose. ANY USE OF THE CANTON SOFTWARE FOR ANYTHING
OTHER THAN THE PURPOSE, INCLUDING USE IN ANY PRODUCTION SETTING,
IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED AND IS A MATERIAL BREACH OF THIS
AGREEMENT. Without limiting the foregoing, You will not and will
not induce any third party to, directly or indirectly: (a) copy,
modify, create a derivative work of, reverse engineer,
decompile, translate, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to
extract any or all of the source code of the Canton Software
(except to the extent such restriction is expressly prohibited
by applicable law), (b) use the Canton Software for any
non-evaluation activity or in violation of DA's Acceptable Use
Policy; (c) use the Canton Software in any manner which violates
applicable law, including, without limitation, export controls,
broker dealer regulations, and banking regulations, or (d)
sublicense, resell, or distribute any or all of the Canton
Software.
3. _FEEDBACK_. You may choose to provide comments, suggestions and
other evaluative observations or analysis regarding the Canton
Software (such items, collectively, "FEEDBACK") to DA. Feedback
shall be confidential information of DA. You grant to DA, under
Your Intellectual Property Rights, a worldwide, fully paid,
irrevocable and non-exclusive license, with the right to
sublicense to DA's licensees and customers, the right to use and
disclose Feedback in any manner DA chooses and to display,
perform, copy, make, have made, use, sell, and otherwise dispose
of DA's and its sublicensees products embodying such Feedback in
any manner and via any media DA or its sublicensee chooses,
without reference or obligation to You. You will not provide DA
any Feedback that (i) You have reason to believe is subject to
any patent, copyright, or other intellectual property claim or
right of any third party; or (ii) is subject to license terms
that seek to require any DA product incorporating or derived
from any Feedback, or other DA intellectual property, to be
licensed to or otherwise shared with any third party. Unless
authorized by You, DA shall not use or reference Your name or
trademarks in its use of such Feedback.
4. REPRESENTATIONS AND DISCLAIMERS
1. _REPRESENTATIONS_. Each Party represents and warrants that (a)
this Agreement is duly and validly executed and delivered by
such Party and constitutes a legal and binding obligation of
such Party, enforceable against such Party in accordance with
its terms; (b) such Party has all necessary power and authority
to execute and perform in accordance with this Agreement;

does not conflict with or violate any provision of law, rule or
regulation to which such Party is subject, or any agreement or
other obligation applicable to such Party or binding upon its
assets. If You are entering this Agreement on behalf of a legal
entity, You represent that You have the proper legal authority
to bind that entity to this Agreement.

IMPLIED, AS TO THE CANTON SOFTWARE OR ANY TECHNICAL SUPPORT
SERVICES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, SATISFACTORY
QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND TITLE, AND ANY
WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF NON-INFRINGEMENT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE

SOFTWARE. DA DOES NOT CONTROL, ENDORSE OR ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY

THE CANTON SOFTWARE.
5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

DA (including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or
other contract or tort claim), DA's entire liability for all claims in
the aggregate arising from or related to the Canton Software, any
support services or otherwise arising under this Agreement will not

IN NO EVENT WILL DA BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PARTY FOR INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS GOODWILL OR
ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION OR THE THEORY
OF RECOVERY, EVEN IF DA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THOSE
DAMAGES.

Unless prohibited by applicable law, You will defend and indemnify DA
and hold DA harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities,

8. GOVERNING LAW; JURY WAIVER
THE AGREEMENT IS DEEMED TO BE MADE UNDER AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED

HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH THEY MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF

9. TERMINATION
This Agreement is effective from the Effective Date until terminated in
accordance with its terms (the "ALPHA TERM"). Either Party may terminate
this Agreement for convenience, in whole or in part, any time by giving
the other Party prior notice of the termination date. This Agreement
shall automatically terminate upon Your acceptance, if any, of a
successor agreement related to the Canton Software. The provisions
relating to the following rights and obligations shall survive the
termination, cancellation, expiration and/or rescission of this
Agreement: Sections 1.4-1.7, 1.9, 2, 3.3, 3.4-6, and 8-10.
Upon termination, You agree to promptly delete or return all copies of
the Canton Software in your possession or control and cease using such
Software or exercising any rights You may have under this Agreement.
10. GENERAL
1. _INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS_. DA and You will at all times be
independent contractors. Neither Party has any right, power or
authority to enter into any agreement for or on behalf of, or to
assume or incur any obligation or liabilities, express or
implied, on behalf of or in the name of, the other Party. This
Agreement will not be interpreted or construed to create an
association, joint venture or partnership between the Parties or
to impose any partnership obligation or liability upon either
Party.
2. _YOUR INFORMATION_. Apart from account information, You shall
not disclose any Personal Information or Sensitive Data or
similarly protected or personal data to DA. If You disclose or
otherwise provide or furnish Personal Information or Sensitive
Data to DA, You represent and warrant that You have obtained all
the relevant consents to do so and will defend, indemnify and
hold DA harmless from and against any claims arising out of such
disclosure. To the full extent allowed by applicable law, You
agree that You are solely liable for all Personal Information
and Sensitive Data obligations, including, without limitation,
confidentiality and data protection and privacy obligations and
restrictions imposed by applicable law, regulation or court
order.
You agree to allow DA and its subsidiaries, Affiliates,
subcontractors and assignees to store, use, and transfer among
such entities and persons, any Personal Information or Sensitive
Data provided by You, including names, business phone numbers
and business email addresses, anywhere DA or any of such
entities or persons does business worldwide, provided that such
information will be used only in connection with DA's business
relationship with You.
3. _SEVERABILITY_. If any provision of this Agreement is held
invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction,
the remaining provisions of this Agreement remain in full force
and effect. The Parties agree to replace the invalid or
unenforceable provision with one that matches the original
intent of the Parties.
4. _THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES_. For the avoidance of doubt, all
rights and benefits granted under this Agreement to You will be
deemed granted directly to You. Otherwise, no third party will
be deemed to be an intended or unintended third-party
beneficiary of this Agreement. DA is not responsible for any
third-party claims against You.
5. _FORCE MAJEURE_. With the exceptions of confidentiality,
restrictions on use, and payment obligations, a Party will be
excused from the performance of its obligations under this
Agreement to the extent that such performance is prevented by
Force Majeure and the non-performing Party promptly provides
notice of the prevention to the other Party referencing this
Section. Such excuse shall be continued so long as the condition
constituting force majeure continues and the non-performing
Party takes reasonable efforts to remove the condition. "FORCE
MAJEURE" means conditions beyond the control of the affected
Party, including an act of any God, war, civil commotion,
terrorist act, labor strike, failure or default of public
utilities or common carriers, fire, earthquake, storm or like
catastrophe, or failure or loss of utilities, communications or
computer (software and hardware) services (provided that such
failure could not have been prevented by the exercise of skill,
diligence, and prudence on the behalf of the affected Party that
would be reasonably and ordinarily expected from a skilled and
experienced person or entity engaged in the same type of
undertaking under the same or similar circumstances.
6. _ENTIRE AGREEMENT, ASSIGNMENT_. This Agreement constitutes the
entire agreement of the Parties pertaining to the subject matter
hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings
pertaining thereto, notwithstanding any oral representations or
statements to the contrary heretofore made. This Agreement may
not be assigned or transferred by You without the prior written
consent of DA.
7. _MODIFICATION; WAIVER; RIGHTS_. DA MAY AMEND OR RESTATE THIS
AGREEMENT AT ANY TIME UPON NOTICE TO YOU, WHICH NOTICE MAY BE
GIVEN ELECTRONICALLY. BY CONTINUING TO ACCESS OR USE ANY CANTON
SOFTWARE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ANY SUCH AMENDMENTS MADE BY
DA. No amendment of this Agreement may be made by You unless in
writing and signed by both Parties. All rights and remedies
provided for in this Agreement will be cumulative and in
addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies available to
either Party at law, in equity or otherwise.
