3. Software weaknesses risk: Since the Services are based on the Blockchain and/or distributed ledger records, any malfunction, breakdown, or abandonment of any Blockchain can have a material adverse effect on the Services. Additionally, advances in cryptography, or technical components may present risks to the Services, making cryptographic consensus or other technological elements supporting the blockchain and digital assets ineffective.

4. Regulatory Risk: Blockchain technology enables new forms of interaction and it is possible that certain jurisdictions may apply existing regulations or introduce new regulations on blockchain technology-based applications, and that such regulations may result in substantial modifications to the Services, including their termination.

5. Risks associated with uncertain regulations and enforcement actions: Lemon may cease operations in a jurisdiction if, due to regulatory actions or changes to the law or regulations, it becomes illegal to operate in that jurisdiction, or it is not commercially desirable to obtain the necessary regulatory approval(s) to operate in that jurisdiction.

6. Mining attacks risks: Blockchains are susceptible to mining attacks, including, but not limited to, double-spend attacks, majority miner power attacks, self-mining attacks, and strange condition attacks.

8. Company or network dissolution risk: It is possible that, due to certain reasons within which, in an enumerative manner, negative adoption of the Services, failure of business relationships, challenges related to ownership of intellectual property among others, it may no longer be viable to operate the Services and therefore it may be necessary to dissolve the Company, which may result in any cryptocurrency stored or held in the Account being irrecoverable and/or permanently lost.

9. Unforeseen Risks: Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology are new technologies. In addition to these risks, there are other risks associated with the acquisition, storage, transmission, and use of any cryptocurrency through the User's Account, including those risks that cannot be anticipated. Such risks may materialize additionally as unforeseen variations or combinations of the risks described here.

10. Volatility Risk: The price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is highly volatile. It is common for prices to increase or decrease significantly and abruptly, in a single day. While this could result in profits, it could also result in substantial losses. The User should carefully consider whether they can assume the risk of investing in cryptocurrencies.

11. Project Risk: Cryptocurrencies and other virtual assets can be created and maintained by teams or entities that may fail for non-technological reasons. Even when Lemon conducts thorough analyses to list particular projects, the projects may fail.

Additionally, any cryptocurrency, or virtual asset, may be canceled, lost, or spent repeatedly, it may lose all or most of its value, due to deviations, restorations, attacks, or unusual operations of the cryptocurrency.
