# Legal & Disclaimers

Please read this page carefully before using Vola Network, participating in the testnet, or making any decisions based on information contained in this documentation.

#### General Disclaimer

The information contained in this documentation is provided for informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial, investment, legal, or tax advice of any kind. Nothing in this documentation should be interpreted as a solicitation, recommendation, or endorsement to buy, sell, or hold any digital asset, token, or financial instrument.

Vola Network, Nuvola Digital, and their respective affiliates, officers, employees, and contributors make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or suitability of the information contained herein.

All information is provided on an "as is" basis and may be subject to change without notice.

#### Testnet Disclaimer

<details>

<summary><strong>Testnet Tokens Have No Value</strong></summary>

$VOLA tokens distributed via the Vola Faucet during the testnet period are test tokens only. They have no monetary value, are not transferable to mainnet, and cannot be exchanged for real assets of any kind. Participation in the testnet does not constitute an investment and does not create any financial entitlement.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Testnet Environment</strong></summary>

The Vola testnet is an experimental environment. It may be unstable, subject to chain purges, and may undergo significant changes without prior notice beyond reasonable community communication. Node operators and participants should not rely on testnet infrastructure for production use cases or store any sensitive, valuable, or irreplaceable data on the testnet network.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Testnet Incentives</strong></summary>

Testnet incentive programs, including any $VOLA rewards announced at TGE, are subject to change at the sole discretion of Nuvola Digital. Participation in the testnet does not guarantee any specific reward amount. Details regarding incentive eligibility, calculation methodology, and distribution timelines will be published at TGE. Nuvola Digital reserves the right to disqualify participants who are found to have acted in bad faith, gamed incentive mechanisms, or otherwise violated the spirit of fair participation.

</details>

#### Token Disclaimer

<details>

<summary><strong>Not a Financial Instrument</strong></summary>

$VOLA is a utility token designed to facilitate operations within the Vola Network ecosystem. It is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, a security, investment contract, or financial instrument under the laws of any jurisdiction. The purchase, acquisition, or holding of $VOLA does not represent an investment in Nuvola Digital or any of its affiliates, and does not confer any ownership rights, equity, dividends, or profit-sharing entitlements.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Regulatory Uncertainty</strong></summary>

The regulatory status of digital assets and blockchain-based networks varies significantly across jurisdictions and continues to evolve. It is your responsibility to ensure that your participation in Vola Network, your use of $VOLA, and your operation of nodes complies with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction. Nuvola Digital does not represent that participation in Vola Network is legal in all jurisdictions and expressly disclaims any liability arising from regulatory non-compliance by individual participants.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Token Allocation and Tokenomics</strong></summary>

Token allocations, emission schedules, vesting periods, and other tokenomics parameters described in the Vola Whitepaper and this documentation are subject to change prior to the Token Generation Event (TGE). Final tokenomics will be confirmed and published at or before TGE.

</details>

#### Node Operation Disclaimer

<details>

<summary><strong>Operation at Your Own Risk</strong></summary>

Running a node on Vola Network is done entirely at your own risk. Node operators are responsible for ensuring their hardware, software, network configuration, and operational practices meet the requirements described in this documentation. Nuvola Digital accepts no liability for hardware failures, data loss, network downtime, missed rewards, or any other losses incurred as a result of node operation.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Staking Risk</strong></summary>

Staking $VOLA carries inherent risk. Staked funds are subject to slashing in the event of validator misbehaviour or sustained poor performance by Storage Nodes. Operators should carefully review the staking mechanics, slashing conditions, and unbonding periods described in this documentation before staking any amount of $VOLA.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Delegation Risk</strong></summary>

Delegating $VOLA to a Storage Node operator involves trusting that operator to maintain reliable infrastructure and act in good faith. Nuvola Digital does not endorse, verify, or guarantee the performance of any individual node operator. Delegators should conduct their own due diligence before delegating stake to any node. Rewards earned through delegation are subject to the node operator's performance and commission settings, which may change subject to the delegation parameter delay.
