Article 52

Liability of issuers of e-money tokens for the information given in a crypto-asset white paper

1.  
Where an issuer of an e-money token has infringed Article 51, by providing in its crypto-asset white paper or in a modified crypto-asset white paper, information that is not complete, fair or clear, or that is misleading, that issuer and the members of its administrative, management or supervisory body shall be liable to a holder of such e-money token for any loss incurred due to that infringement.
2.  
Any contractual exclusion or limitation of civil liability as referred to in paragraph 1 shall be deprived of legal effect.
3.  
It shall be the responsibility of the holder of the e-money token to present evidence indicating that the issuer of that e-money token has infringed Article 51 by providing in its crypto-asset white paper or in a modified crypto-asset white paper information that is not complete, fair or clear, or that is misleading and that reliance on such information had an impact on the holder’s decision to purchase, sell or exchange that e-money token.
4.  

The issuer and the members of its administrative, management or supervisory bodies shall not be liable for loss suffered as a result of reliance on the information provided in a summary pursuant to Article 51(6), including any translation thereof, except where the summary:

(a) 

is misleading, inaccurate or inconsistent when read together with the other parts of the crypto-asset white paper; or

(b) 

does not provide, when read together with the other parts of the crypto-asset white paper, key information in order to aid prospective holders when considering whether to purchase such e-money tokens.

5.  
This Article is without prejudice to any other civil liability pursuant to national law.
