5.1 Digital Asset Issuances.
Tokn1 acts as a digital vehicle from which interested private companies will be able to issue their Digital Assets, based on the tokenization of tradable securities of their choice and that at the same time are permitted by Tokn1.
Those interested companies, first of all, must undergo a Due Diligence process both internally (carried out by Tokn1) as well as externally, carried out by the latter’s partners. This is with the objective of establishing a correct evaluation of the company that will issue Digital Assets and providing a fair price to Users interested in investing in companies that decide to tokenize, thus protecting Users by corroborating that the information provided by the companies is genuine.
Once the issuance and placement of Digital Assets in the primary market has been carried out, Users will be able to access those Digital Assets present in the primary market through the “Assets” section.
5.2 Digital Asset Transactions.
Likewise, Tokn1 acts as a digital vehicle that facilitates “Transactions” in the secondary market. Transactions are understood to be all those operations of purchase and sale of Digital Assets carried out between Users of the Platform through the use of cryptocurrencies funds deposited in their Tokn1 Account (the “Funds”). These Transactions can then occur between “Investors” who are those Users who wish to own Digital Assets of certain companies, for which they enter the primary or secondary market of Tokn1.
The Tokn1 User declares that all the Funds deposited, used and transacted on the Platform will have a lawful origin, and, therefore, will not be related to crimes generating Money and Asset Laundering, Terrorist Financing, or any other type of crime or illegal activity. This statement is considered consigned by each User by accepting these Terms and Conditions and using the Tokn1 Platform.
The User can access the Platform as an Investor or not. If You are not a potential Investor, but wish to examine or experience the Platform as a student, researcher, academic, analyst, journalist, auditor, researcher, private equity broker, as an investor advisor, or in some other role, your access to certain features of the Platform and the Service will be limited or blocked, including, without limitation, the ability to make requests for Transactions or close Transactions. However, the User in this case will be able to use the Tokn1 social network, as will be detailed in clause 6.2.
Transactions can be initiated through the Platform, in the “Secondary Market” section.
The Platform and the Services and their use are associated with and conditional on your acceptance of these Terms. If You do not agree with them, we ask You to refrain from using the Platform and/or associated Services.
5.3. Custody of Digital Assets and Cryptocurrencies.
The User hereby grants to Tokn1, the custody of the Digital Assets and the cryptocurrencies that are their property, to be deposited in a wallet owned by Tokn1 (the “Omnibus Wallet”), with the objective of exercising custody and safekeeping thereof.
The User is the owner of their Digital Assets and cryptocurrencies entered into the Platform at all times, and will be able to observe their holdings in Digital Assets and cryptocurrencies owned by them, in their Tokn1 Account, in which they will see their portfolio reflected.

Any Digital Assets listed on the Platform or as part of the Services are only suitable for prospective investors who are familiar with and willing to accept the high risks associated with private investments, including the risk of complete loss of the investment. Digital Assets will be subject to resale and transfer restrictions, including holding period requirements. Investing in private placements requires a high risk tolerance, a low need for liquidity and a willingness to make long-term commitments. Investors must be able to afford to lose their entire investment. The investment opportunities reflected on the Platform are not insured, may lose value and are not guaranteed by any bank or institution.
All Digital Assets listed on the Platform have been issued and registered in accordance with the Digital Asset Issuance Law of El Salvador (Ley de Emisión de Activos Digitales).
The claimed characteristics of the Digital Assets listed on the Platform depend significantly on the accuracy of the representations made by the Issuers, each of which may be reflected in the applicable documents presented on the Tokn1 Platform for the User to analyze before deciding on an investment (the “Transaction Documents”). In the event that such statements turn out to be false, it is possible that the characteristics of the Digital Assets listed may not match. Although Tokn1 carries out an exhaustive study of Issuers before issuing a Digital Asset, these risks are not exhaustive and are intended to highlight certain risks associated with investing in Digital Assets, beyond their registration with the National Commission for Digital Assets of El Salvador (“CNAD”). WE STRONGLY ADVISE ALL INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS WHO CHOOSE TO ENGAGE IN TRANSACTIONS TO CONSULT LEGAL, TAX AND FINANCIAL PROFESSIONALS BEFORE, CAREFULLY REVIEW ALL SPECIFIC RISK DISCLOSURES PROVIDED AS PART OF ANY TRANSACTION MATERIALS, AND REQUEST ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
