Purchase of a NFT does not mean that the rights under copyright law in the underlying work transfer with the NFT.

A. Use of our Services, and NFTs in general, is accompanied by some inherent risks. The price and liquidity of NFTs and other blockchain assets are subject to real world and virtual market and other fluctuations, including the price of other types of digital assets. The market for NFTs is new and volatile, and the price of an NFT as it relates to fiat currency may greatly decrease over a short period of time, impacting the liquidity and price of the NFT. New technologies may replace NFTs and other digital assets and platforms, thereby limiting the liquidity and value of and demand for NFTs. Domestic and foreign laws and regulations may change and affect various aspects of the use, transfer, and value of NFTs. By their very nature, NFTs are not backed by any government and are not legal tender. NFT transactions are irreversible; unintended or fraudulent transactions may not be reversible or recoverable. You are responsible for determining the level of risk you are willing to assume. We do not provide any advice or recommendations concerning any aspect of NFT investments or strategy. Since NFTs are intangible assets, any title transfer of a NFT occurs on a decentralized leger and we cannot guarantee that the transfer can be achieved.
B. We are not responsible for sustained losses due to vulnerability or any kind of failure, abnormal behavior of software (e.g., wallet, smart contract), blockchains, or any other features of an NFT. We are not responsible for sustained losses due to late reports by developers or representatives (or no report at all) of any issues with the blockchain supporting NFTs including forks, technical node issues or any other issues having fund losses as a result. We are not responsible for any sustained losses in the event we declare bankruptcy, go out of business, or otherwise cease operations.
C. You acknowledge and accept the risks inherently present in the use of digital goods and digital assets. We are not responsible for sustained losses due to hacking, theft or misappropriation of digital assets, impersonation of legitimate NFT owners, counterfeit NFTs, unlawful creation of replicas of original content, or misuse of original content by bad actors.

You acknowledge and agree that, in the event we cease offering an NFT, we may remove or dissociate original content or third-party intellectual property from the NFT, revoke your license granted herein to display original content or third-party intellectual property underlying the NFT, or otherwise limit access to and use of original content or third-party intellectual property underlying the NFT.
We will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify you if any NFTs in your crypto wallet will be affected by such changes to NFT availability.

This agreement to arbitrate will be specifically enforceable under the prevailing law of any court having jurisdiction. Notice of a demand for arbitration shall be filed in writing with the other party hereto and with the AAA.

The parties agree that one (1) arbitrator shall arbitrate the dispute.
