To initiate a transaction, you must voluntarily invoke one or more Smart Contract operations from an Ethereum Wallet.

Ape Beverages Water Club transactions, including but not limited to primary sales, secondary market sales, listings, offers, bids, acceptances, and other operations through the Water Club utilize experimental smart contract and blockchain technology. You acknowledge and agree that such technologies are experimental, speculative, and inherently risky. You acknowledge and agree that Ape Beverages smart contracts may be subject to bugs, malfunctions, timing errors, hacking and theft, or changes to the protocol rules of the Ethereum blockchain (i.e, "forks"), which can adversely affect the smart contracts and may expose you to a risk of total loss, forfeiture of your digital currency or Ape Beverages NFTs, or lost opportunities to buy or sell Ape Beverages NFTs. Ape Beverages assumes no liability or responsibility for any such smart contract or related failures, risks, or uncertainties.
