IMPORTANT NOTES ON USING A CHINESE ENTITY

These documents have been drafted to be as protective as possible while being transparent about the China-based operating entity. A few things to be aware of:

What these documents do well:

• Clearly disclose the China-based operator identity (required for user trust and basic transparency)
• Include CCPA-compliant language for California users
• Include CAN-SPAM-compliant email unsubscribe requirements
• Separate your platform liability from Organizer liability effectively
• Waive class action rights to the extent enforceable

What these documents cannot fully solve:

• A U.S. court may have difficulty enforcing judgments against a China-based entity — this is a structural risk that no contract language can eliminate
• Some U.S. states have limitations on the enforceability of pre-injury liability waivers (notably California, Louisiana, and Virginia treat these with extra scrutiny)
• Without a U.S. legal entity, collecting payments via Stripe or PayPal at scale may be restricted

Recommended next steps when resources allow:

1. Register a U.S. LLC (Wyoming recommended for low cost and privacy) to act as the U.S.-facing operating entity
2. Have a U.S.-licensed attorney review the Terms of Service and Activity Waiver before scaling
3. Consider adding an embedded activity insurance option for Organizers as an additional liability buffer
