Ownership of “KPOP CTzen” only refers to the ownership of NFT associated with digital art works. Accordingly, no information presented on this website (or any documents referred to on this website) shall be considered as advice or offer to enter into a contract for investment purposes.

The “company” makes efforts in relation to projects, the contents of which shall not be binding for KPOP CTzen PROJECT and may be changed
and implemented at the company's discretion depending on the situation.

It may also negatively affect the value of “KPOP CTzen” of the user, and the user needs to understand this and assume all risks.
The user assumes all responsibility for any result or negative impact caused by the interruption or change of the blockchain network or blockchain platform, the interruption or change of the exchange platform supporting NFT transactions, or other issues affecting each of them.
All NFT transactions are made on the blockchain. Therefore, the user bears the entire risk and responsibility for the security and management of his/her personal wallet (wallet's private key, etc.), and verification of all trades and transactions generated on this website, before approval. In addition, since the smart contract for KPOP CTzen PROJECT runs on the blockchain network, the transaction cannot be canceled, reversed, or restored.
User shall be solely responsible for the storage and management of NFT's digital art works and related digital works, while the "company" shall bear no responsibility for the storage and management of users' digital works.
In the event of a dispute, including a dispute over intellectual property rights, in relation to the user's NFTs and derivative digital art works (including "Derivative works") and products, the “company” may terminate support for the user's transaction of the NFTs and may not recognize the user's status.
