7. DISCLAIMER

Evolve or any of the third party in connection to the Interface and Staking Services shall not be held liable for any direct or indirect damages that may arise from, but not limited to:

(a) Inferences, omissions, interruptions, computer viruses, breakdowns or disconnections in the operational functioning of the electronic systems or of devices;

There is always a possibility that governmental authorities will examine Evolve's operations or pursue enforcement actions against it. Such governmental activities may or may not result from targeting Evolve in particular. Although Evolve is undertaking maximum efforts to comply with all existing regulations, due to multiple uncertainties and frequent changes in the rapidly evolving market of Digital Assets, and blockchain technology, Evolve still may become subject to judgments, settlements, fines, or penalties, or may have to restructure its operations and activities or to cease offering certain products or services, all of which could harm Evolve's reputation or lead to higher operational costs, which may in turn have a material adverse effect on the Interface, Staking Services, Smart Contracts or the DApp.
