3) DRAM 

3.1 General

3.1.1 DRAM is a smart contract that is issued as an ERC-20 token by and is intended to be used as a "stablecoin".  Each DRAM will be subscribed for and redeemed at a value of 3.6725 AED (subject to adjustments arising from splits, airdrops, consolidation and such other circumstances as determined by the Issuer in good faith) ("Prescribed Value") less (on redemption) any applicable Processing Fee, subject to the availability of the assets that are held by the Issuer.  The payment obligation on redemption is backed by assets held by the Issuer.  DRAM is not designed to create returns or profits for holders, increase in value, or otherwise accrue financial benefit to the Members or holders of DRAM.

3.1.2 DRAM is not, nor is it intended to be used as, money or legal tender and is not security or monetary instrument. 

3.1.3 As an ER-C20 token on the Ethereum public blockchain, DRAM is only compatible with third-party software that supports ERC-20 tokens.

3.2 Forks

3.2.1 You understand, acknowledge and agree that the underlying operating rules of the blockchain may change from time to time in such a way as to result in more than one related version of Ethereum (each instance of any such change, a "Fork").  If a Fork occurs, it will result in the creation of a new branch of the blockchain.  The Issuer will evaluate all forks and make a determination, based on a number of factors, to support DRAM on one, and only one, of the Forks.  As a result, in the event of a Fork, only the DRAM on the particular blockchain that the Issuer determines as being supported by the Issuer are DRAM and any other DRAM will not be supported.

3.2.2 If a Fork occurs, you understand, acknowledge and agree that we may temporarily suspend the operations of the Platform.

3.2.3 The Issuer is under no obligation to support any particular blockchain, any forked version of any particular blockchain or any DRAM resulting from a fork of a blockchain.  Where a blockchain on which DRAM are issued is forked, the Issuer may elect to suspend DRAM-Related Services temporarily or for an extended period of time on little or no notice.  The Issuer will determine, in its sole discretion, whether to support a particular fork of a blockchain or whether to cease support for all version of a particular blockchain.  Where the Issuer determines to cease support for a particular blockchain, you will take any and all actions reasonably necessary to effectuate the migration of your DRAM to a supported blockchain identified by the Issuer.  The Issuer assumes no liability or responsibility whatsoever arising out of or relating to your failure to effectuate such migration of your DRAM to another blockchain identified by the Issuer.

3.2.4 The Issuer assumes no liability or responsibility whatsoever for any losses or other issues that might arise from the Issuer electing to support or not support a particular blockchain, any forked version of any particular blockchain or any DRAM resulting from a fork of a blockchain.

3.3 Freezes and Seizures

3.3.1 The Issuer has the ability and the right to freeze and upgrade all DRAM tokens (on an aggregate basis), regardless of where DRAM is being held.  The Issuer will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide prior notice of any material freeze or upgrade and inform holders of DRAM of the reasons and consequences of such freeze and/or upgrade.  The Issuer will make commercially reasonable efforts to use the freeze and/or upgrade feature only under limited circumstances. 

3.3.2 Notwithstanding Clause 3.3.1, the Issuer may freeze, temporarily or permanently, your use of, and access to, DRAM with or without advance notice.  The Issuer will only freeze your DRAM (a) if required to do so by law, specifically when the Issuer receives a formal legal directive from a regulator, judicial body, law enforcement agency, or other legal entity having jurisdiction over the Issuer, (b) pursuant to a formal notification by a partner of the Issuer according to previously agreed contractual terms, or (c) as deemed necessary by the Issuer in its sole discretion.  For the avoidance of doubt, legal directives include court-ordered subpoenas, national security letters, and formal written directives from a regulator with oversight over the Issuer.

3.3.3 Your DRAM may be subject to seizure or forfeiture by formal written legal directive from a regulator, judicial body, law enforcement agency, or other legal entity having jurisdiction over the Issuer, the Issuer may freeze your use of, and access to, DRAM and take such action as appropriate to comply with the legal process in respect thereof.  

3.3.4 If we determine after investigation that any of your DRAM have been used, or are being used, for any illegal (or sanctioned) activity, we may not permit you to redeem your DRAM for fiat currency and, if presented for redemption, we may freeze, temporarily or permanently, your use of, and access to, DRAM, until such time as they may be disposed of or otherwise handled as required by law.  

3.3.5 Any DRAM that are subject to freeze, seizure, forfeiture or similar limitation on their use imposed by law may become wholly and permanently unrecoverable and unusable, and in appropriate circumstances, may be destroyed.  

3.3.6 By using DRAM, you agree that we may take the actions set forth above and that we will not be liable to you therefor.

  3. Legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the state, provincial, federal or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange and value of DRAM.

  4. Crypto asset blockchains may "fork", and we may not support the forked asset promptly or at all.

  5. Transactions in DRAM may be irreversible, and accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable.

  6. Some DRAM transactions shall be deemed to be made when recorded on a public ledger, which is not necessarily the date or time that you or any other person initiates the transaction.

  7. DRAM in a given address are controlled by the private key of the holder of the address.  If the private key is compromised or lost, the DRAM in that address may be stolen or lost and otherwise unrecoverable.

  8. The nature of crypto assets, like DRAM, may lead to an increased risk of fraud or cyberattack and may mean that technological difficulties experienced by the Issuer may prevent access to, or use of, your DRAM.

  9. The assets held under the DRAM Trust may not be sufficient to cover the Prescribed Value of all DRAM on redemption.

  10. The Issuer is not a regulated financial institution or equivalent in any jurisdiction.

  11. The blockchain used by the Issuer may experience backlogs, higher than normal transaction fees, changes to the network, failure or a fork in the protocol.  We do not own or control the blockchain and are not responsible for the operation of the network and make no guarantees regarding the network’s security, functionality, or availability.

  12. Because DRAMs are ERC-20 tokens, they may not be compatible with software or other technology provided by a third-party.  The Issuer does not guarantee the availability, security or functionality of any third-party software or technology and is not responsible for any losses of DRAM due to the failure of third-party software or technology.
