7.1 Template Document, Not a Legal Will

DigiWish is NOT a digital will, testament, or any other legally binding testamentary instrument. DigiWish generates a template document that serves as a preliminary framework which may be converted into a legally compliant Will, Digital Will, Trust, Foundation, or other estate planning instrument in accordance with the applicable laws of the relevant jurisdiction. The template document produced by DigiWish requires proper legal formalization, execution, witnessing, notarization, or other formalities as mandated by the law of the land to attain legal validity and enforceability.

7.2 Proof of Intent Only

The DigiWish document serves as a proof of intent by the Asset Owner (User) to indicate their wishes for the bequest, distribution, or transfer of their properties and assets to their intended beneficiaries. This document records the User's expressed intentions regarding asset succession and beneficiary designations at a specific point in time, secured through blockchain hash verification. However, this proof of intent does NOT constitute a legally enforceable will or trust and may only serve as supporting evidence of the User's testamentary intentions in conjunction with a properly executed legal instrument.

7.3 Professional Legal Counsel Required

Users are strongly advised and encouraged to consult with a qualified attorney, solicitor, legal practitioner, or estate planning professional licensed in their jurisdiction to create legally compliant testamentary documents. The DigiWish template is designed to aid and facilitate the legal professional's services by providing a comprehensive asset inventory, beneficiary designations, and documented intentions that can inform and expedite the drafting of formal legal instruments. BlockWill recommends that all Users engage licensed legal counsel before relying on any DigiWish output for estate planning purposes.

7.4 Forced Heirship and Mandatory Succession Rules

Users should be aware that numerous jurisdictions maintain forced heirship laws, reserved portion requirements, legitimary rights, or mandatory succession rules (including, but not limited to, Sharia inheritance law, civil law forced heirship provisions, community property regimes, and statutory family provision claims) that may restrict or override testamentary freedom. These laws may entitle certain family members or heirs to a mandatory share of the estate regardless of the testator's expressed wishes. Any legally compliant testamentary document must take into consideration these jurisdictional requirements. BlockWill does NOT provide legal advice on forced heirship compliance, and Users must consult qualified legal professionals in their relevant jurisdictions to ensure compliance with applicable mandatory succession rules.

7.5 No Legal Services Provided

BlockWill Analytical Technologies Limited and/or its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, agents, and partners DO NOT provide legal services, legal advice, legal opinions, or legal representation of any kind. BlockWill is a technology platform that provides digital asset inventory tools, template document generation, secure data storage, and blockchain-based verification services. BlockWill does not practice law, prepare legal documents for court filings, represent Users in legal proceedings, or render any service that constitutes the practice of law in any jurisdiction.

7.6 No Unauthorized Practice of Law

BlockWill explicitly disclaims any engagement in the unauthorized practice of law (UPL). The DigiWish service is designed as a self-help technology tool that assists Users in organizing their asset information and expressing their preliminary succession intentions. BlockWill does not select, draft, or customize legal provisions based on individual legal circumstances; does not apply legal judgment to User situations; does not advise on the legal consequences of any User decisions; and does not provide any service requiring a law license. Users acknowledge that any legal determinations, advice, or document finalization must be obtained from independently licensed attorneys.

7.7 Jurisdiction-Specific Compliance

Estate planning, succession, inheritance, and testamentary laws vary significantly across jurisdictions, including differences in formal execution requirements (witnesses, notarization, registration), applicable governing law principles, cross-border recognition, probate procedures, tax implications, and digital asset regulations. DigiWish templates are general frameworks only and do not account for the specific legal requirements of any particular jurisdiction. Users with assets, beneficiaries, or domicile in multiple jurisdictions should obtain coordinated legal advice to ensure their estate plan is valid and enforceable across all relevant territories.

7.8 No Substitute for Professional Advice

DigiWish and all related BlockWill services are NOT substitutes for professional legal, tax, financial, or estate planning advice. The information and templates provided through DigiWish are for general informational and organizational purposes only and should not be construed as professional advice of any kind. Users should seek independent professional advice before making decisions that may affect their legal rights, tax obligations, or financial position. BlockWill expressly disclaims all liability for any actions taken or not taken based on DigiWish output without appropriate professional consultation.

7.9 Technology Platform Limitations and User Responsibility

BlockWill provides a technology infrastructure for secure asset inventory, data storage, blockchain verification, and template generation. While BlockWill employs industry-standard security measures, Users acknowledge that:

1. No technology system is completely immune to unauthorized access or data loss;
2. Blockchain hash verification provides proof of document integrity at a point in time but does not guarantee legal validity;
3. Smart contract execution depends on proper trigger configuration and third-party oracle verification;
4. Users bear sole responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of all information entered into the Platform;
5. Users are responsible for ensuring their estate planning documents are properly executed under applicable law; and
6. Users are responsible for keeping their information and credentials secure.

7.10 Periodic Review and Updates Required

Estate planning is NOT a one-time event. Laws change, personal circumstances evolve, asset portfolios fluctuate, and family situations transform. Users are advised to periodically review and update their DigiWish information and, more importantly, their formal legal estate planning documents in consultation with qualified professionals. BlockWill does not monitor changes in applicable laws and regulations, and it is the User's responsibility to ensure continued compliance and relevance of their estate plan. DigiWish documents created at an earlier date may not reflect current legal requirements or the User's present intentions.

9.3 Blockchain Immutability

Decentralized blockchains are immutable, meaning the data they contain cannot be changed. When a transaction is confirmed and shows as successful on the blockchain, THERE IS NOTHING BLOCKWILL CAN DO TO REVERT, CANCEL, OR MODIFY IT. This immutability creates certain limitations regarding data correction rights. Users acknowledge that:

1. Certain data recorded on-chain cannot be deleted or modified;
2. Off-chain data may be corrected or deleted in accordance with applicable data protection laws;
3. BlockWill will clearly distinguish between on-chain and off-chain data storage.
