5. Intellectual Property Rights

 

5.1. Ownership of the Platform: The Platform and all Company Content, including but not limited to the source code, database, software, design, artwork, logos, trademarks, service marks, and other intellectual property associated therewith, are the exclusive property of the Company and its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, patent, and other intellectual property laws. Nothing in this Agreement grants you any right, title, or interest in or to the Platform or Company Content, except for the limited access rights explicitly set forth herein.

 

5.2. Your Ownership of Your NFT: Upon a valid and complete purchase of an NFT, you own the NFT itself as a cryptographic token recorded on the Polygon blockchain. This ownership is conferred and recorded by the Smart Contract. Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, the Company grants you a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except in connection with a permitted transfer of the NFT) license to use, copy, and display the artistic content linked to your purchased NFT ("Art") solely for the following purposes:

(a) For your own personal, non-commercial use;

5.3. Creator's Intellectual Property: The creator of an NFT retains all copyright and intellectual property rights in the underlying Art. Your ownership of the NFT does not grant you any rights to the underlying Art beyond the license expressly stated in Section 5.2.

(a) Modify, distort, mutilate, or perform any other derogatory act against the Art.

6. Fees, Taxes, and Payment

 

6.1. Transaction Fees: Use of the Platform may incur certain fees ("Fees").

(a) Gas Fees. Every transaction on the Polygon blockchain, including minting, buying, selling, or transferring NFTs, requires the payment of a transaction fee, known as a "Gas Fee." Gas Fees are paid in POL directly to the Polygon network validators and are not received or controlled by the Company. The amount of Gas Fees fluctuates based on network congestion and is entirely determined by the Polygon network, not the Company.

(b) Platform Fees. The Company may charge a fee for the use of its services ("Platform Fee"), which will be a percentage of the total sale price of an NFT. This fee will be clearly disclosed to you at the time of listing or purchase and will be added to the smart contract logic. You are responsible for paying any and all Fees associated with your use of the Platform and acknowledge that all Fees are non-refundable.

 

6.2. Taxes: You are solely and entirely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your transactions on the Platform, including, but not limited to, sales, use, value-added, and income taxes. It is your responsibility to withhold, collect, report, and remit the correct taxes to the appropriate tax authorities. The Company is not responsible for determining whether taxes apply to your transactions or for collecting, reporting, or remitting any taxes arising from any transaction.

 

6.3. Payment: All transactions on the Platform are finalized on the blockchain. The Company does not receive, hold, or transmit your funds or NFTs. All payments are processed solely through the Polygon blockchain via your Wallet. Once a transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, it is irreversible and final. The Company cannot reverse or refund any transaction.

 

7. User Conduct and Obligations

 

7.1. Grant of License: Subject to your ongoing compliance with all terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to access and use the Platform solely for your personal, non-commercial use and for the explicit purposes described in this Agreement.

(e) Circumvention: Attempting to circumvent any fees that may be charged by the Company; attempting to interfere with the smart contract functionality or the proper operation of any transaction on the Platform.

(f) Misrepresentation: Impersonating another person or entity or otherwise misrepresenting your affiliation with a person or entity; creating a false identity; providing false, inaccurate, or misleading information.

(g) Commercial Exploitation: Using the Platform, including any Company Content, for any unauthorized commercial purpose, including but not limited to advertising, marketing, or soliciting other Users, without our prior express written consent.

 

7.3. Investigation and Enforcement: The Company reserves the right, but assumes no obligation, to investigate any violation of this Agreement or any misuse of the Platform. The Company may, at its sole and absolute discretion:

(a) Remove, disable access to, or modify any User Content.

(b) Report any activity it suspects violates any law or regulation to law enforcement, regulators, or other appropriate third parties.

8. Assumption of Risk; No Investment Advice

 

8.1. Acknowledgment of Inherent Risks: You expressly acknowledge, understand, and agree that your access and use of the Platform, including the purchase, sale, trade, and holding of NFTs and cryptocurrencies, is subject to a multitude of significant and inherent risks. You expressly assume all risks in connection with your use of the Platform, including but not limited to the following:

(a) Market and Volatility Risk: The markets for NFTs, POL, and SALC are highly volatile and unpredictable. Fluctuations in the price of digital assets can be significant and rapid. There is no guarantee that your NFTs or cryptocurrencies will retain their value or that you will not experience a complete and permanent financial loss.

(b) Regulatory Uncertainty: The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and NFTs is uncertain and rapidly evolving across various jurisdictions. Changes in laws, regulations, or policies may materially and adversely affect the value of your digital assets or your ability to access or use the Platform.

(c) Smart Contract and Technology Risk: The Platform relies heavily on blockchain technology and smart contracts. While we strive to ensure the highest level of security, smart contracts may contain vulnerabilities, bugs, or errors that could lead to the partial or total loss of digital assets. The Company cannot be held responsible for any failures, bugs, or exploits in the underlying blockchain or smart contract code.

(d) Wallet and Key Risk: As stated previously, you alone are responsible for the security of your Wallet and private keys. Any loss of your private keys or seed phrase will result in the permanent loss of access to the digital assets held within that Wallet. The Company cannot recover them under any circumstances.

(e) Tax Liability Risk: You are solely responsible for determining the tax implications of your transactions on the Platform. The tax treatment of digital asset transactions is complex and varies by jurisdiction. You are solely liable for any tax liability arising from your activities.

 

8.2. No Investment Advice: All information, data, and content provided on the Platform are for informational purposes only. Nothing on the Platform constitutes or should be construed as investment advice, financial advice, trading advice, or any other sort of advice. You are solely responsible for evaluating the merits and risks associated with any transaction. The Company is not a fiduciary and owes no duties to you, including any duty to ensure your profits or to avoid losses. You should consult with a qualified legal or financial professional before making any financial decisions.
