Disclaimer of Ownership and Responsibility for Hacker Challenge Address
The Hacker Challenge Wallet Address associated with the Hacker Challenge and the assets therein are not the property of DeTEE, and are made publicly available solely for the purpose of participating in the Hacker Challenge. For the avoidance of doubt, the assets contained in this address are abandoned property, such that the Company has intentionally relinquished all right of ownership and has no control over such assets. Any other person who sends funds to this address shall likewise lose control of such assets and thus be deemed to abandon the property. They shall no longer have any claim whatsoever, in equity or in law, to such property. DO NOT SEND ASSETS OF ANY KIND TO THE HACKER CHALLENGE WALLET ADDRESS UNLESS YOU SPECIFICALLY INTEND TO ABANDON SUCH ASSETS OR ARE SENDING A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF SOL WITH THE INTENT TO SPEND IT IN ORDER TO TEST THE DTHC TOKEN CREATION FUNCTION. By sending funds to this address, You do so at your own risk and responsibility. DeTEE Ltd. and its representatives do not have access to the Hacker Challenge Wallet Address, and any funds sent to this address will remain locked until the wallet keys are successfully accessed.
All funds sent to the Hacker Challenge Wallet Address will become the property of the winner once they have successfully gained access to the wallet keys. DeTEE assumes no liability for any loss or theft of funds and will not be responsible for unlocking or managing the funds in any manner.
There is no guarantee that the Hacker Challenge will get successfully attacked and the winner will access the secret wallet keys. In case of no winner, all funds that the Hacker Challenge Wallet Address keeps will remain locked forever.
DeTEE does not claim any rights to the funds sent to the Hacker Challenge Wallet Address and holds no responsibility for their distribution or management. By participating, You acknowledge and agree that DeTEE is not liable for any issues related to the funds or their access.
Solana Tokens created by the Hacker Challenge Software
The Hacker Challenge Software has the capability to mint a Hacker Challenge token (“DTHC Token(s)”) on the Solana blockchain, assuming enough Solana ("SOL") funds exist within the wallet. DeTEE does not own, control or issue the DTHC Tokens minted within the Hacker Challenge, as the owner of the DTHC Tokens is the wallet address of the Hacker Challenge itself, and DeTEE has no control or ownership over that wallet address and has no knowledge of possible cybersecurity attacks that allow the extraction of the private key of the wallet. The DTHC Tokens minted within the Hacker Challenge have no inherent value and DeTEE will not trade these DTHC Tokens in exchange for cryptocurrencies or other assets. Any usage of the DTHC Tokens is a sole responsibility of their holders and is not connected in any shape or form with the operations of DeTEE.
Limitation of Liability
Notwithstanding any damages that You might incur, the entire liability of DeTEE and any of its suppliers under any provision of this Agreement and Your exclusive remedy for all of the foregoing shall be limited to the amount actually paid by You for the Software.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall DeTEE or its suppliers be liable for any special, incidental, indirect, or consequential damages whatsoever (including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, for loss of data or other information, for business interruption, for personal injury, for loss of privacy arising out of or in any way related to the use of or inability to use the Software, third-party software and/or third-party hardware used with the Software, or otherwise in connection with any provision of this Agreement), even if DeTEE or any supplier has been advised of the possibility of such damages and even if the remedy fails of its essential purpose.
Some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to You.
The limitation of liability herein is based on the fact that End Users use their computers for different purposes. Accordingly, only users can implement back-up plans and safeguards appropriate to user’s needs in the event an error in the Hacker Challenge Software causes computer problems and related data losses. For these business reasons, You agree to the liability limitations herein and acknowledge that without Your agreement to this provision, DeTEE would need to charge fees for the Hacker Challenge Software.
Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision will be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
Waiver
No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of either party, any right or any power under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of that right or power. Nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or power under this Agreement preclude further exercise of that or any other right granted herein. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any applicable purchase or other terms, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

Equitable Relief
You acknowledge and agree that Your breach of this Agreement would cause DeTEE irreparable harm for which money damages alone would be inadequate. In addition to damages and any other remedies to which DeTEE may be entitled, You acknowledge and agree that we may seek injunctive relief to prevent the actual, threatened or continued breach of this Agreement.
Headings
The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not limit the scope of, or otherwise affect, the interpretation of this Agreement.
