14. Assumption of Risk
- 14.1 Assumption of Risk. You understand and agree that you assume the following risks:
- NFT and Digital Asset Prices are Volatile. Market prices (in the event of there being a market available) for NFTs and other forms of digital assets are extremely volatile. They are subjective and fluctuate based on the price of cryptocurrencies more generally. These market prices could materially and adversely affect the value of any NFT or digital assets you own, including any NFTs or digital purchased through the Services. There is no guarantee any NFT or digital asset you own has or will retain any value. You understand that you may lose money on the purchase of an NFT or digital asset.
- Software-Based Assets Have Associated Risks. Assets that can only be accessed through physical hardware, specialized software, and the internet, have inherent risks. These risks include, but are not limited to: (a) the risk of hardware failure / malfunction: (b) the risk of software relied upon containing bugs, issues or critical vulnerabilities; (c) the risk of your internet connection dropping at any time or being unsecure; (d) the risk of accessing software-based assets containing malicious software or being introduced to malicious software; and (e) the risk of third parties obtaining unauthorized access and control of information, data of any software-based assets stored in your digital wallet, your account or elsewhere. ChainSafe will not be responsible to you for any of these, however they are caused.
- NFTs and Digital Assets Rely on External Blockchains. The services allow NFTs and other digital assets to be listed on the Services for use or transfer to other third parties at your own risk (“listing”). NFTs and other digital assets listed on the Services exist on blockchains. Listing an NFT using the services will result in your access and usage of the NFT being restricted until you choose to ‘delist’ the NFT. Listing an NFT may be transferred on to a new smart contract compatible with the Services. Upgrades, modifications, forks, or other changes to the general operations of the blockchains underlying the NFTS and digital assets may have material or adverse effects on them.
- Legal and Regulatory Uncertainty. Laws and regulations governing blockchains, NFTs and other forms of digital assets are uncertain and constantly evolving. New laws, regulations, policies, orders or guidance may have a material or adverse effect on: (i) your ability / eligibility to access the Services; (ii) your NFT or digital asset; or (iii) the blockchain underlying the NFT or digital asset. Changes to laws and regulations in any jurisdiction may affect the utility, usability or value of any NFT or digital asset purchased through the Services.
- Taxes are Your Responsibility. You are solely responsible for determining what taxes (if any) apply to any transaction you perform through the Services. ChainSafe is not responsible for determining the tax consequences that apply for any transaction you perform through the Services.
- NFTs and Digital Assets are Created by Third Parties. NFTs and digital assets that appear on the Services may contain, display or include content created by third parties (“Third-Party Content”). ChainSafe does not inspect, monitor, or screen NFTs or digital assets that contain Third-Party Content. You acknowledge that Third-Party Content could include items that: (i) are illegal; (ii) are indecent; (iii) are mislabeled; (iv) are counterfeit; (v) have defects with their underlying software; (vi) contain malicious code; and (vii) are rendered untransferable. ChainSafe is not responsible for evaluating NFTs or digital assets for their content, accuracy, completeness, validity, legality, intellectual property rights compliance, quality, or compliance with representations made to induce a sale. You accept responsibility for carrying out inspections and researching on your own the validity of representations made for any NFT or digital asset offered for sale on the Services. ChainSafe will not have any liability or responsibility to you or any third-party for any Third-Party Content.
- Use of Public Blockchains. ChainSafe does not control the blockchains or the associated technologies you may interact with when using the Services. When you engage in transactions on the Services, any purchase, sale or transfer you engage in occurs on the applicable blockchain and not through the Services. NFTs and other digital assets exist and are transferred based on ownership records maintained on the relevant blockchain. The Services do not save, store, send, receive or host the NFTs and digital assets that may be transacted with. Since public blockchain transactions are generally irreversible, ChainSafe has no ability and will not attempt to reverse any transactions that occur on a public blockchain.
- Reliance on Third-Party Service Providers. The Services rely on third-party software and service providers. These include the digital wallet provider you access the Services through, any blockchains relied upon, and the services of any third-party otherwise in providing the Services. ChainSafe does not make any promises or guarantees that there will be: (i) continued availability or use of those service providers or (ii) that they will adequately protect, store or make safe any data or information you provide to them. The Services may be adversely affected if there are compatibility or other issues that make these service providers unable to communicate with the Services for an extended period of time.
- Content May be Removed from the Services. ChainSafe does not screen or investigate content created by third parties that may be accessed by you through the Services. ChainSafe reserves the right to blacklist and hide collections, smart contracts, NFTs and other digital assets that ChainSafe reasonably believes may violate this Agreement. Any NFTs or digital assets you may purchase through the Services may become inaccessible on the Services. Under no circumstances shall your inability to access or view any NFTs or digital assets purchased on the Services give rise to any kind of claim against ChainSafe.
- Transactions with Third-Parties. ChainSafe is not responsible for any transaction that occurs between you and a third-party (as an example your purchase or sale of an NFT to a third-party on a third-party service or “secondary market”). ChainSafe shall have no liability to you or a third-party in connection with such transaction. If you have a dispute with any third-party on the Services, you release ChainSafe from any and all claims or damages arising out of or in any way connected with a dispute.
15. DMCA Takedown Request
- 15.1 Takedown Requests. ChainSafe will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement under the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and other intellectual property claims. If you or a third-party believes that their Intellectual Property Rights have been infringed, please notify ChainSafe immediately.
