FEE AND PAYMENT

•  If you elect to purchase, trade, or mint NFTs, any financial transactions that you engage in will be conducted solely through the Blockchain via your chosen electronic wallet service such as MetaMask. We will have no insight into or control over these payments or transactions, nor do we have the ability to reverse any transactions. Accordingly, we will have no liability to you or to any third party for any claims or damages that may arise as a result of any transactions that you engage in via the Site and/or the Game or using the Smart Contracts, or any other transactions that you conduct via the BNB Chain network or other blockchain network. Some blockchain networks require the payment of a transaction fee (a "Gas Fee") for every transaction that occurs on the network. The Gas Fee funds the network of computers that run the decentralized blockchain network. This means that you will need to pay a Gas Fee for each transaction that occurs on a marketplace.

•  In addition to the Gas Fee, each time you play the Game (or a round thereof) or perform any interaction relating to NFTs, or conduct a transaction via Smart Contracts to conduct a transaction with another player, you authorize us to collect a fee, and as notified to you from time to time via the most updated fee schedule on the Site (the "Platform Fee"). For each transaction where a Platform Fee is payable, we shall give you the opportunity to view and accept the Platform Fee before confirming the transaction and paying the Platform Fee. You acknowledge and agree that the Platform Fee will be transferred directly to us through the relevant Blockchain Network as part of your payment.

•  The Company may offer certain products and Services for purchase through the Apple App Store, Google Play or other external services as authorised by the Company (each an External Service, and any purchases made being an External Service Purchase). When making a purchase on the Service, you may have the option to pay through an External Service, such as your Apple ID or Google Play account or other external services as authorized by the company (External Service Account) and your External Service Account will be charged for the purchase in accordance with the terms disclosed to you at the time of purchase and the general terms applicable to your External Service Account and as stated by the External Service.

Except for income taxes levied on us, you: (i) will pay or reimburse us for all national, federal, state, local, or other taxes and assessments of any jurisdiction, including value-added taxes and taxes as required by international tax treaties, customs or other import or export taxes, and amounts levied in lieu thereof based on charges set, services performed or payments made hereunder, as are now or hereafter may be imposed under the authority of any national, state, local or any other taxing jurisdiction; and (ii) shall not be entitled to deduct the amount of any such taxes, duties or assessments from payments made to us pursuant to these Terms.

TERMINATION

•  These Terms remain in full force and effect while you use the Site, the Game and the Smart Contracts. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THESE TERMS, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION AND WITHOUT NOTICE OR LIABILITY, DENY ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SITE, THE GAMES AND THE SMART CONTRACT (INCLUDING BLOCKING CERTAIN IP ADDRESSES) TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY REASON OR FOR NO REASON, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FOR BREACH OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR COVENANT CONTAINED IN THESE TERMS OR OF ANY APPLICABLE LAW OR REGULATION. WE MAY TERMINATE YOUR USE OR PARTICIPATION IN THE SITE, THE GAMES AND THE SMART CONTRACT OR DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT WITHOUT WARNING, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION.

•  If we terminate or suspend your account for any reason, you are prohibited from registering and creating a new account under your name, a fake or a borrowed name, or the name of any third party, even if you may be acting on behalf of the third party. In addition to terminating and suspending your account, we reserve the right to take appropriate legal action, including without limitation pursuing civil, criminal, and injunctive redress.


GOVERNING LAW

This Terms of Use and your use of the Site, the Game, and the Smart Contracts are governed by and constructed in accordance with the laws of Seychelles applicable to agreements made and to be entirely performed in the Seychelles, without regard to its conflicts of law principles.


DISPUTE RESOLUTION

•  To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms (each a "Dispute" and collectively, the "Disputes") brought by either you or us (individually, a "Party" and collectively, the "Parties"), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating the arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.

•  If a Party is unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Disputes (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by arbitration in accordance with the international arbitration in Seychelles. 

•  Except where otherwise required by the applicable arbitration rules or applicable law, the arbitration can take place in the Seychelles. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgement on the award entered by the arbitrator.

•  In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Site, the Game and the Smart Contracts be commenced more than one (1) year after the cause of the action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed or jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.


Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and the Company are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.


Waiver of Class Actions and Class Arbitrations. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A REPRESENTATIVE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PAGA) OR COLLECTIVE CLASS BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE USER, PERSON, OR ENTITY CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER USER, PERSON, OR ENTITY. Accordingly, under the arbitration procedures outlined in this section, an arbitrator shall not combine or consolidate more than one party’s claims without the written consent of all affected parties to an arbitration proceeding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you and the Company agree that no dispute shall proceed by way of class arbitration without the written consent of all affected parties. All other claims shall be arbitrated.


Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with the Company.

ASSUMPTION OF RISK

You accept and acknowledge each of the following:

(a) The prices of blockchain assets are extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of your NFTs, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. We cannot guarantee that any purchasers of NFTs will not lose money.

(b) You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your transactions relating to NFTs. We are not responsible for determining the taxes that apply to your transactions on the Game, the Site, or the Smart Contracts.

(c) The Game does not store, send, or receive NFTs. This is because NFTs exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on the Game' supporting blockchain on the BNB Chain network /other blockchain network. Any transfer of NFTs occurs only on the relevant blockchain network.

(d) The Smart Contracts you interact with may contain security vulnerabilities, errors, failures, bugs or economic loopholes which may be exploited by third parties. Interaction with these Smart Contracts is entirely your own responsibility and liability, and we are not a party to the Smart Contracts.

(e) At any time, your access to NFTs or your cryptocurrency assets may be suspended or terminated or there may be a delay in your access or use of your cryptocurrency assets, which may result in the cryptocurrency assets diminishing in value or you being unable to interact with a Smart Contract, the Game or the Site. The Game or the Site may be suspended or terminated for any or no reason, which may limit your access to your cryptocurrency assets.

(f) There are risks associated with using an Internet-based currency, including, but not limited to, the risk of hardware, software and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information stored within your wallet. You accept and acknowledge that we will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using the BNB Chain network /other blockchain network, however caused.

(g) Because NFT is based on blockchain technology, any malfunction, breakdown or abandonment of the relevant blockchain network may have a material adverse effect on the NFT you own. Moreover, advances in cryptography, or technical advances such as the development of quantum computing, could present risks to NFT, the underlying digital assets, or the relevant blockchain network by rendering ineffective the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins the relevant blockchain network. The future of cryptography and security innovations are highly unpredictable.

(h) A private key, or a combination of private keys, is necessary to control and dispose of NFT stored in your digital wallet, vault or other storage mechanism. Accordingly, loss of requisite private key(s) associated with such digital wallet, vault or other storage mechanism storing NFT may result in loss of such NFT. Moreover, any third party that gains access to such private key(s), including by gaining access to login credentials of a hosted wallet service which you use, may be able to misappropriate any NFT held by you. We cannot be responsible for any such losses.

(i) Hackers or other malicious groups or organisations may attempt to interfere with NFT, the Smart Contracts, the Game or the Site in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks, smurfing and spoofing, which may result in losses incurred by you.

(j) A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development of the Game ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of NFTs.

(k) The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the Game ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of NFT.

(l) An upgrade, hard fork, or a change in how transactions are confirmed on the relevant blockchain network may have unintended, adverse effects on all blockchains used in the App ecosystem.

(m) Cryptographic tokens such as NFT are a new and untested technology. In addition to the aforementioned risks, there may be other risks associated with your creation, holding and use of NFT, including those that we cannot anticipate. Such risks may further materialise as unanticipated variations or combinations of the risks discussed herein.
