 laws do not address the unique issues raised by online marketplaces or e-commerce.
For example, as described elsewhere in these Risk Factors, laws relating to privacy are evolving differently in different jurisdictions.
Federal, state, and non-U.S. governmental authorities, as well as courts interpreting the laws, continue to evaluate and assess the privacy
requirements that are applicable to KwikClick.

New platform liability laws, potential amendments
to existing laws, and ongoing regulatory and judicial interpretation of these laws imparting liability for conduct by users of a platform
may create costs and uncertainty for both KwikClick and sellers on our platform. This may even be the case for new laws or regulations
focused on other technology areas or other third parties that nonetheless indirectly or unintentionally impact us, our sellers or our
vendors. For example, the European Union’s recent e-Copyright and Platform to Business directives, and pending Digital Services
Act and Digital Markets Act, may impact us directly, as well as impacting our sellers and vendors. In addition, there have been various
Congressional efforts to restrict the scope of the protections available to online platforms for third-party user content under intellectual
property laws such as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act § 512 et. Seq., or user content platform protections under 47 U.S.C.
§ 230 (commonly referred to as CDA § 230) and our current protections from liability for third-party content in the
United States could significantly decrease or change. We could incur significant costs investigating and defending such claims and, if
we are found liable, significant damages.

We may operate under an increasing number of regulatory
regimes protecting us and our sellers and buyers worldwide, such as intellectual property and anti-counterfeiting laws, payments and taxation,
competition, marketplace platform regulation, hate speech laws, and general commerce regulation. These laws, and court or regulatory interpretations
of these laws, may shift quickly in the United States and worldwide. We may not have the resources or scale to effectively adapt to and
comply with any changes to these regulatory regimes which may limit our ability to take advantage of the protections these regimes offer.
In addition, some of these changes may be at least partially inconsistent with how our platform operates, especially if they are adopted
in the context of, or in a manner best suited for, larger platforms, which may make it harder for us to utilize these regimes to protect
our marketplaces. If we are unable to cost-effectively protect our platform, sellers and buyers under these regulatory regimes
