transaction related to GSX.
1.17. You acknowledge that an employee of Apollo Fintech or its subsidiaries will not make any statements about the expected price of cryptocurrencies. If an Apollo Fintech CDE employee does make a statement regarding the price of cryptocurrencies, then their statement is an opinion from which no rights can be derived, and they are going explicably against employee protocol.

This estimate typically takes into consideration their independent on the ground testing results, geological formations, data of mines in the area, known belts and other sub-terrain formations. The asset value is typically determined to be 10% to 33% of the estimated total reserves.
2. Overview of GSX distribution
The Company reserves the right to circumvent or otherwise modify the algorithm used to
select the underlying assets if it believes, in its sole discretion, that such selected underlying
assets could adversely affect the Company or GSX from a regulatory or legal perspective. The
Company shall have the right to sell any such underlying assets (if already part of GSX
portfolio) and block their acquisition.
A maximum total amount of 30,000,000,000 (30 billion) GSXs shall be created by the
Company. Nevertheless, only a maximum of 10,000,000,000 (10 billion) GSXs shall be
generated and distributed during the CDE. The remaining 20,000,000,000 GSXs which will
not be part of the distribution shall be owned by the Company. Any kind of ownership of GSX
during the GSX coin distribution carries no rights, whether express or implied. Any purchase
or acquisition of GSX shall be non-refundable in all cases.
2.1. User distribution process
2.1.1. Any person wishing to purchase GSX shall first register and sign up for an
account on the CDE platform (gsxcde.com) as a User.
2.1.2. Each User shall be given a wallet on the CDE platform. Users need only to
encode and enter the amount of GSX they wish to buy. The total purchase
prices shall be computed and shown to the User. Once confirmed, the user
shall press the “Buy” button to proceed with the transaction. Users have the
option to pay with their respective credit cards or other crypto assets, including
but not limited to BTC and ETH, among others.
2.1.3. Users shall then pay the total purchase price of the GSX they purchased. The
total amount of GSX bought shall be reflected on the respective dashboard of
the Users.
2.1.4. In order to receive the GSX purchased in the CDE in the final distribution, Users
must comply with the KYC procedures and accomplish and submit such
documents which may be required by the Company in accordance with the
relevant laws and regulations governing the purchase and distribution of GSX.
2.1.5. Upon completion of the KYC procedures, Users must provide an APL wallet
address in the platform where the Company can send or otherwise transfer the
GSX the Users purchased.
3. GSX Value
GSX is backed with underlying assets, namely, the land rights by
Apollo Fintech or its subsidiaries. Thus, the value of GSX shall be dependent and based on
the value of gold, as the company mines, and the rights to the Company’s gold-rich real property. Accordingly, the backing of GSX shall be two-pronged as opposed to other stable coins backed by a single asset.
The volume and value of the assets backing the Coin should increase as the assets generate
income by undertaking designated commercial activities therein, as well as the acquisition of
additional rights on the land owned. The value of the land shall be appraised by designated
expert and trusted parties including that of a local geologist or geological services company,
a real estate agency, or a local expert in the mining and real estate industry.
Meanwhile, the Company is in the process of setting up a trust in South Africa which shall
enter a contract with entities holding the rights of the Company over the
rights of the land or the rights of the land directly. Said contract shall exclusively give rights on the land to the trust. The designated beneficiaries of the trust shall be the GSX coin. Consequently, in the event that land rights are sold. The holders of GSX will be the beneficiaries of the proceeds of this sale.
In sum, the nature of the rights of the GSX holders with respect to the land rights owned by the
Company shall be in the nature of beneficiaries of a trust. In case of disposition of the land,
GSX holders shall be entitled to the proceeds of the sale sold in proportion to the amount of
GSX coins owned by the holders.
4. Timing of GSX Coin Distribution
The GSX distribution shall run for approximately 120 calendar days from the date the
distribution opens and/or starts. The Company reserves the right to change the distribution
dates or extend the distribution duration for any reason and at its sole discretion, including
the unavailability of the Website or other unforeseen security or procedural issues, as the
case may be.
5. After the GSX Coin Distribution
The Purchasers should have no expectation of influence over the governance of the Company.
Upon the conclusion of a successful GSX distribution, some of the remaining GSXs that were offered of which were not purchased or distributed during the CDE will be burned.
In case a Purchaser decides to re-sell or otherwise dispose the purchased GSX upon the
completion of the GSX coin distribution, such Purchaser shall ensure that the buyer or
transferee of any such GSX undertakes to comply with all the provisions of these Terms as if
such person were a Purchaser during the GSX coin distribution.
6. The Company Will Not Purchase GSX During the CDE
The Company warrants that neither it nor its shareholders will purchase GSX during the GSX
distribution. The Company further warrants that neither it nor its shareholders will purchase
GSX from any third party during the period of the GSX distribution.
7. All purchases of GSX are final
ANY AND ALL PURCHASES OF GSX ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE. BY PURCHASING GSX,
THE PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NEITHER THE COMPANY NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES,
DIRECTORS, OR SHAREHODELRS ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A REFUND FOR ANY REASON
WHATSOEVER.
IF THE COMPANY BELIEVES, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, THAT ANY INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY
OWNING GSX CREATES MATERIAL REGULATORY RISKS OR OTHER LEGAL RISKS OR ANY
ADVERSE EFFECTS TO THE COMPANY AND/OR GSX, THE COMPANY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO:
(A) BUY ALL GSX FROM SUCH GSX OWNERS AT THE THEN-EXISTING MARKET PRICE; AND/OR
(B) SELL ALL THE CRYPTOCURRENCY ASSETS OF THE COMPANY.
8. Taxation of GSX and Taxation Related to the CDE
The Purchaser bears the sole responsibility to determine whether the purchase of GSX or the
potential appreciation or depreciation in the value of GSX over time has tax implications on
the part of the Purchaser in the Purchaser's home jurisdiction. By purchasing GSX, and to the
extent permitted by law, the Purchaser agrees not to hold any of the Company, its affiliates,
shareholders, director, or advisors liable for any tax liability associated with or arising from
the purchase of GSX.
9. Privacy
The Purchasers may be contacted by email by the Company. Such emails will be purely
informational in nature. The Company will never request any information from Purchasers in
an email. See our Privacy Policy available on the Website for additional information.
10. Force Majeure

13. Complete Agreement
These Terms set forth the entire understanding between the Purchaser and the Company
with respect to the purchase and distribution of GSX. For facts relating to the distribution and
purchase, the Purchaser agrees to rely only on these Terms in determining purchase
decisions. The Purchaser understands that these Terms govern the distribution of GSX and
shall be deemed to supersede any public statements about the GSX coin distribution made
by third parties or by the APOLLO FINTECH LTD. Team or individuals associated with any of
the APOLLO FINTECH LTD. Team, whether made in the past, present, or during the GSX coin
distribution.
14. Severability
The Purchaser and the Company agree that if any portion of these Terms is found illegal or

15. No Waiver
The failure of the Company to require or enforce strict performance by the Purchaser of any

Terms shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of the Company's right to assert
or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance. The express waiver by
the Company of any provision, condition, or requirement of these Terms shall not constitute
a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition, or requirement.

consents, waivers, or other acts or omissions by the APOLLO FINTECH LTD. Team shall be
deemed a modification of these Terms nor the same shall be legally binding.

ANNEX A
___________________________________________________________________________
GSX RISKS
By purchasing, owning, and using GSX, you expressly acknowledge and assume the following
risks:
1. Risk of Losing Access to GSX Due to Loss of Private Key(s), Custodial Error or Purchaser
Error
A private key, or a combination of private keys, is necessary to control and dispose of GSX
stored in your digital wallet or vault. Accordingly, loss of requisite private key(s) associated
with your digital wallet or vault storing GSX will result in loss of such GSX. Moreover, any third
party that gains access to such private key(s), including by gaining access to login credentials
of a hosted wallet service you use, may be able to misappropriate your GSX. Any errors or
malfunctions caused by, or otherwise related to, the digital wallet or vault you choose to
receive and store GSX in, including your own failure to properly maintain or use such digital
wallet or vault, may also result in the loss of your GSX. Additionally, your failure to follow
precisely the procedures set forth in for buying and receiving Coins, including, for instance,
the provision of the wrong address for the receiving GSX, or provision of an address that is
not ERC-20 compatible, may result in the loss of your Coins.
2. Risk of hacking or Mining Attacks
As with other decentralized cryptographic coins, GSX coins are susceptible to hacking or
mining attacks. Any successful attack presents a risk to the platform and GSX,
including, but not limited to, accurate execution and recording of transactions involving GSX.
3. Risk of Hacking and Security Weaknesses
Hackers or other malicious groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with the
platform or GSX in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, malware attacks, denial of
service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks, smurfing, and spoofing. Furthermore,
because the platform is based on open-source software, there is a risk that a third party or a
member of the Company team may intentionally or unintentionally introduce weaknesses
into the core infrastructure of the platform, which could negatively affect the platform and
GSX, including the utility of GSX for obtaining services.
4. Risks Associated with Markets for GSX
If secondary trading of Coins is facilitated by third party exchanges, such exchanges may be
relatively new and subject to little or no regulatory oversight, making them more susceptible
to fraud or manipulation. Furthermore, to the extent that third-parties do ascribe an external
exchange value to GSX (e.g. as denominated in a digital or fiat currency), such value may be
extremely volatile.
5. Risk of Uninsured Losses
Unlike bank accounts or accounts maintained with some other financial institutions, GSX coins
are naturally uninsured unless you specifically obtain private insurance to insure them. Thus,
in the event of loss or loss of utility value, there is no public insurer or private insurance
arranged by Company to offer recourse to you.
6. Risks Associated with Uncertain Regulations and Enforcement Actions
The regulatory status of GSX and distributed ledger technology is unclear or unsettled in many
jurisdictions. It is difficult to predict how or whether regulatory agencies may apply existing
regulation with respect to such technology and its applications, including the Apollo Fintech
Ltd. platform and GSX. It is likewise difficult to predict how or whether legislatures or
regulatory agencies may implement changes to law and regulation affecting distributed
ledger technology and its applications, including the platform and GSX.
Regulatory actions could negatively impact the platform and GSX in various ways, including,
for purposes of illustration only, through a determination that the purchase, distribution and
delivery of GSX constitutes unlawful activity or that GSX coins are a regulated instrument that
require registration or licensing of those instruments or some or all of the parties involved in
the purchase, distribution and delivery thereof.
In view thereof, the Company may cease operations in a certain jurisdiction in the event that
regulatory actions, or changes to law or regulation, will make it illegal for the Company to
operate in such jurisdiction, or in case it becomes commercially undesirable for the Company
to obtain the necessary regulatory approval(s) to operate in such jurisdiction.
7. Risks Arising from Taxation
The tax characterization of GSX is uncertain. You must seek your own tax advice in connection
with your purchase of GSX which may result in adverse tax consequences to you, including
the payment of withholding taxes, income taxes, and compliance with tax reporting
requirements, among others.
8. Risk of Competing platforms
It is possible that alternative platforms could be established that utilize the same open source
code and protocol underlying the platform and attempt to facilitate services that are
materially similar to the Apollo Fintech Ltd. services.
9. Risks Arising from Lack of Governance Rights
Because GSX confer no governance rights of any kind with respect to the Apollo Fintech Ltd.
platform or the Company, all decisions involving the Company’s products or services within
the platform or the Company itself will be made by the Company at its sole discretion. These
decisions could adversely affect the platform and the utility of any GSX you own, including
their utility for obtaining services, among other possible consequences.
10. Unanticipated Risks
Cryptographic coins such as GSX are new and untested technology. In addition to the risks
included in this Annex A of these Terms, there are other risks associated with your purchase,
possession, and use of GSX, including unanticipated risks. Such risks may further materialize
as unanticipated variations or combinations of the risks discussed in this Annex A of these
Terms.
