NFT Holder Rights to Underlying Works

Unless parties have agreed otherwise, this Clause 6 shall apply.

Where applicable, the NFT holder is granted a limited, worldwide, non-assignable, non-sublicensable, royalty-free license to use the Work underlying the relevant NFT (legally owned and properly obtained by the NFT holder) for non-commercial purposes and for other purposes envisioned in these Terms.
The NFT holder’s limited license to use the Work for non-commercial purposes, includes, but is not limited to:
for the purpose of promoting, sharing, commenting, discussing the NFT holder’s ownership of the relevant NFT, or interest in the Work (eg. on social media platforms, blogs, digital galleries, decentralised virtual worlds, galleries, museums, virtual environments, and any other internet-based media platforms); and
(where applicable) for the purpose of listing the relevant NFT on third-party exchanges, platforms, marketplaces or applications in association with an offer to sell, or trade, the NFT associated with the underlying Work.
For the avoidance of doubt, the NFT holder acknowledges and agrees that it may not, nor permit any third party to, do or attempt to do any of the foregoing without the explicit consent in writing of the Platform:
use the Work for commercial purposes, including selling copies of the Work, selling access to the Work, selling derivative works incorporating the Work, or commercially exploiting the Work via other means;
modify, distort, mutilate, or perform any other modification to the Work which would be prejudicial to the Artist’s/author’s honour or reputation;
use the Work to advertise, market, or sell any third-party product or Service;
use the Work in connection with images, videos, or other forms of media that depict hatred, intolerance, violence, cruelty, or anything else that could reasonably be found to constitute hate speech or otherwise infringe upon the rights of others;
incorporate the Work in movies, videos, video games, or any other forms of media for a commercial purpose, except to the limited extent that such use is expressly permitted by these Terms;
sell, distribute for commercial gain, or otherwise commercialize merchandise that includes, contains, or consists of the Work;
attempt to trademark, copyright, or otherwise acquire additional Intellectual Property Rights in or to the Work;
attempt to mint, tokenize, or create an additional cryptographic token representing the same Work, whether on or off of the Platform;
falsify, misrepresent, or conceal the authorship of the Work; or
otherwise utilize the Work for the NFT holder’s or any third party’s commercial benefit.

Disclaimers

Unless expressly provided for in writing by the Company, the NFTs on the Platform are provided on an ‘as is’ and ‘as available’ basis without warranties or conditions of any kind, either express or implied.
The Company makes no representations or warranties as to the quality, origin, or ownership of any content or Works found in relation to the NFTs. The Company shall not be liable for any errors, misrepresentations, or omissions in, of, and about, the content, nor for the availability of the content.
NFTs are cryptographic tokens that are recorded and maintained on a decentralized blockchain platform. You acknowledge and agree that the Company does not guarantee that it can/will transfer the ownership of the relevant NFT to you upon purchase.
Access to the Platform
We will endeavour to the best of our abilities, within commercially reasonable means, to ensure that the Platform and the Services are available at all times.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we:
do not warrant that your use of the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free or that the Services will meet your requirements;
are not responsible for any delays, delivery failures, or any other loss or damage resulting from the transfer of data over communications networks and facilities, including the internet;
shall not be responsible for non-performance of the Platform or Services caused by any use that is contrary to our Terms, instructions, or modification or alteration by any party other than us or our representatives, and will only provide support to correct such non-performance at our sole discretion; and
shall not be responsible for any loss or damage arising from your failure to keep your passwords secure and confidential.
You acknowledge that the Services may be subject to limitations, delays and other problems inherent in the use of such facilities.

Assumption of Risk

You acknowledge and accept that the risk of lack of market acceptance and adoption, market volatility, lack of a secondary market for trading and/or restrictions on trading in a secondary market, unforeseen software bugs, volatile price fluctuations of the resources used, cybersecurity issues or disruptions remain and the Company shall not be liable to you for any loss, damage or delay caused by the delay or failure of the minting of NFTs on the Platform, cyber hacking, fraud or any form of cybercrimes committed against the Company, the Platform or you in respect of all matters.
The regulatory status of cryptographic tokens, including NFTs, digital assets and blockchain technology is unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions. In the event that any relevant authority makes changes to existing laws, regulations and/or rules or financial institutions make commercial decisions and such changes/decisions negatively impact the provision of Services, the Platform or the NFTs in various ways, the Company shall be entitled to cease the Services and operation of the Platform in any jurisdiction without incurring any liability whatsoever to you.
Due to the relatively nascent nature of the blockchain technology, the relevant blockchain may also be prone to periodic congestion, failure, or cyberattack, during which the delivery of the relevant NFTs being minted on the Platform may be delayed indefinitely or irretrievably lost due to no fault of ours. Accordingly, you acknowledge and accept that no liability whatsoever is assumed by us for losses or delays to you caused by any such factors.
You acknowledge and accept the risks of dealing with smart contracts, losing money due to fluctuations in the price of digital assets (including but not limited to NFTs minted on this Platform).

any indirect, incidental, exemplary, punitive or consequential loss, costs, damages, charges or expenses;
any actions taken by us in good faith in accordance with the information and instructions you have provided in connection with the Services;
any loss or damage caused by malware, distributed denial-of-service attack, or other harmful material that may infect your device, programs, data or other proprietary material due to your use of the Platform or Services;

You acknowledge and agree that we shall have no liability or obligation to you in such event and that you will not be entitled to a refund of any amounts that you have already paid to us, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

If any provision or part-provision of these Terms of Use is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision or part-provision shall be deemed deleted.
