non-fungible token, such markets and prices are extremely volatile, and
variations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely
affect the value of any digital asset(s) You own, including the NFT, and there

effects on all blockchains using such technologies, including without limitation
NFTs;

(E) the risk of changes to the regulatory regime governing blockchain
technologies, cryptocurrencies, and tokens and new regulations, unfavorable
regulatory intervention in one or more jurisdictions or policies any of which
may materially adversely affect the use and value of the NFT;

(F) the risks related to taxation;

(G) that non-fungible tokens are not legal tender and are not back by any
government; and

(H) GIVENCHY is not responsible for any transaction between the Owner and a
