9 · Risks & Disclaimers

• THE FAUST is a game. Nothing in this document constitutes financial advice or a promise of earnings. Game assets may lose value; token participation may be restricted in some jurisdictions.
• The game is designed to be fully playable without cryptocurrency; the ownership layer is additive and optional by design.
• Smart-contract, custody, and platform risks will be addressed by third-party audits prior to mainnet phases. [Audit partners: TBD]
• Regulatory posture: play-first architecture, no income promises, and competitive (not chance-based) sourcing of the highest-value collectibles are deliberate risk-reduction choices, not guarantees.
