      SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT – Certain statements on this website represent forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual profits or financial results you may receive from your investment in a whiskey cask to be materially different from the future profits or financial results as expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. CaskX has attempted to identify these forwarding looking statements with the words “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” “seek,” “plan,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “may,” “will,” “could” and other similar expressions. Although these forward looking statements reflect our expectations related to your potential profits and financial results in connection with the investment in a whiskey cask, such forward looking statements are based on information now available to us, which is subject to change, and they are inherently subject to certain risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties including, but are not limited to the following: the highly regulated nature of the whiskey industry and the requirements that may be imposed on you due to changes in law after you acquire your whiskey cask; changes in consumer and commercial demand for whiskey; loss of whiskey due to evaporation or failure to appropriately monitor the cask as it is maturing; loss of whiskey due to leakage, damage or theft, competition for the sale of whiskey with other investors or distilleries having greater resources than you; negative perception for the distillery who manufactured the whiskey in your cask or lack of brand loyalty; and lack of public market for whiskey casks and the requirement to hold your investment for quite some time due to the long maturation of whiskey and applicable United States securities laws. Please review our Notice to Investors and related Risk Factors for a further description of these and other factors you should consider before making an investment in whiskey casks. CaskX is under no obligation to update any of the forward looking statements after the date of publication for this website and associated documents to conform such statements to new information.
