NFT TERMS
By purchasing, acquiring, or otherwise receiving an NFT that originated from The Nifty ("Nifty NFT"), you agree to these NFT Terms. These NFT Terms, along with The Nifty User Terms of Service, made available below and incorporated herein by reference, are collectively referred to as the "Agreement."
OWNERSHIP OF NIFTY NFTS AND ARTWORK. Each Nifty NFT is a limited-edition digital asset that embodies or includes certain artwork owned or created by The Nifty (the "Artwork"). You acknowledge and agree that Nifty Metaverse, Inc. ("The Nifty") owns all legal right, title and interest in and to the Artwork, and all intellectual property rights therein. Nifty NFTs may also incorporate one or more elements of The Nifty’s trademarks and branding (the "Brand"). Each Nifty NFT is a non-fungible token hosted on the Ethereum blockchain, ownership of which can be transferred through gift, purchase, or sale. The Artwork is neither stored nor embedded in the Nifty NFT, but is accessible through the Nifty NFT. ALTHOUGH THE NIFTY NFT ITSELF IS OWNED BY ITS THEN-CURRENT OWNER, THE ARTWORK EMBODIED THEREBY AND ANY BRAND INCORPORATED THEREIN OR USED THEREWITH IS LICENSED, PURSUANT TO THESE NFT TERMS, AND NOT TRANSFERRED OR SOLD, TO SUCH OWNER. "OWN" MEANS, WITH RESPECT TO A NIFTY NFT, A NIFTY NFT THAT YOU HAVE RIGHTFULLY AND LAWFULLY PURCHASED OR ACQUIRED FROM A LEGITIMATE SOURCE, WHERE PROOF OF SUCH PURCHASE OR ACQUISITION IS RECORDED ON THE RELEVANT BLOCKCHAIN. The rights that you have in and to the Artwork are limited to those expressly stated in the paragraph immediately below. The Nifty and its licensors reserve all rights in and to the Artwork and Brand not expressly granted to you herein.
LICENSES. Subject to your lawful purchase or acquisition of a Nifty NFT and your continued compliance with this Agreement, The Nifty grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive, revocable, royalty-free license, with no right to sub-license, (a) to display the Artwork and any Brand embodied by your Nifty NFTs, solely for the following purposes: (i) for your own personal, non-commercial use (e.g., display in a virtual gallery, on a mobile device, as an avatar, or in your home); (ii) through or as a part of a marketplace that permits the purchase and sale of your Nifty NFTs in connection with such potential purchase or sale, provided that the marketplace cryptographically verifies rights to ensure that only the actual owner can offer a Nifty NFT for sale; or (iii) as part of a third party website or application that permits the inclusion, involvement, or participation of your Nifty NFTs, provided that the website/application cryptographically verifies rights to ensure that only the actual owner can display the Nifty NFT; and (b) to access certain limited features or exercise certain privileges on or through The Nifty website and/or mobile application(s) (collectively, the "Nifty Digital Properties"), in each case in accordance with the functionalities of such Nifty Digital Properties and as may be modified by The Nifty from time to time in The Nifty’s sole discretion. The Nifty provides the Nifty NFT, licenses the Artwork and Brand to the owner of the Nifty NFT, and provides the Nifty Digital Properties on an "AS IS" basis, and expressly disclaims any warranties or conditions of any kind, either express or implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions of title, non-infringement, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. The license to display the Artwork and any Brand embodied by the Nifty NFT is automatically and always transferred with the NFT as provided below. Otherwise the license to display the Artwork and any Brand embodied by the Nifty NFT is non-transferable.
You acknowledge that the license granted to you in this Agreement applies only to the extent that you lawfully purchased or acquired the Nifty NFT and, with respect to a Nifty NFT that you purchase, that you continue to own such Nifty NFT. If at any time you sell, trade, donate, give away, transfer, or otherwise dispose of your Nifty NFT for any reason, the license granted in this Agreement to you will immediately expire with respect to such Nifty NFT without the requirement of notice, and you will have no further rights in or to the Artwork or Brand embodied by such Nifty NFT. The license granted in this Agreement will also automatically terminate, with all rights returning to The Nifty, if: (x) you breach this Agreement, which shall include, transferring or acquiring the Nifty NFT in a way not specifically permitted hereunder or (y) you engage in any unlawful business practice related to the Nifty NFT. In the event that you did not lawfully purchase or acquire the Nifty NFT or upon any termination of the license granted in this Agreement, The Nifty may disable your access to the Artwork and/or Brand and/or deny you access to any further benefits, services or goods associated with the Nifty NFT.
RESTRICTIONS. You agree that you will not, nor will you permit any third party to, do or attempt to do any of the following without The Nifty’s express prior written consent in each case: (i) modify, distort or perform any other change to the Artwork or Brand embodied by your Nifty NFT in any way, including, without limitation, the shapes, designs, drawings, attributes, or color schemes; (ii) use the Artwork or Brand embodied by your Nifty NFTs as a brand or trademark or to advertise, market, or sell any product or service (other than an authorized offering of the Nifty NFT itself); (iii) use the Artwork or Brand embodied by your Nifty NFTs 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 or promote illegal activities; (iv) use the Artwork or Brand embodied by your Nifty NFTs in movies, videos, or any other forms of media, except solely for your own personal, non- commercial use; (v) sell, distribute for commercial gain (including, without limitation, giving away in the hopes of eventual commercial gain), or otherwise commercialize merchandise that includes, contains, or consists of the Artwork or Brand embodied by your Nifty NFTs; (vi) attempt to trademark, copyright, or otherwise acquire additional intellectual property rights in or to the Artwork or Brand embodied by your Nifty NFTs; (vii) use the Artwork or Brand embodied by your Nifty NFTs in connection with defamatory or dishonest statements about The Nifty and/or its affiliated companies or which otherwise damage the goodwill, value or reputation of The Nifty or represent or imply that your exercise of the licenses granted hereunder is endorsed by The Nifty and/or its affiliated companies; or (viii) otherwise utilize the Artwork Brand embodied by your Nifty NFTs for your or any third party’s commercial benefit (other than an authorized offering of the Nifty NFT itself). These restrictions will survive the expiration or termination of licenses granted hereunder.
Without limiting the foregoing, the license granted by this Agreement does not include: (i) the right to use the Artwork or Brand in connection with additional NFTs; or (ii) the right to create derivative works of the Artwork. You may not use or attempt to register any asset, including any domain names, social media accounts or related addresses, that contains or incorporates any Artwork, Brand, or any other representation, name or mark that may be confusingly similar to any of The Nifty’s intellectual property.
TRANSFERRING YOUR NIFTY NFT. You may transfer any Nifty NFT that you lawfully own to a third party, subject to this Agreement. After any such transfer, your licenses to the Artwork and Brand will immediately terminate. Your licenses will also immediately terminate if you breach this Agreement. If you transfer any Nifty NFT, you must make the transferee aware of, and you must cause any such transferee to agree in writing to comply with and be bound by, these Terms.
You acknowledge and agree that any transfer of this Nifty NFT, by you or by the then-current owner, may be subject to a fee payable to The Nifty equal to no greater than [10%] of the total consideration paid for the Nifty NFT in connection with any such transfer.

2. OUR SERVICE
a. The Service is a software application made available by The Nifty to, among other things, enable users of the Service ("Users") to purchase unique non-fungible tokens ("NFT(s)") and any non-digital products, services and/or benefits to be furnished by or on behalf of sellers in connection with such sales (collectively, "Tokens"), implemented on the Ethereum blockchain (the "Blockchain Platform") using smart contracts. You may only participate in the purchase of any Token by linking an electronic wallet that allows you to purchase, store, and engage in transactions using cryptocurrency and NFTs (each, a "Digital Wallet") on supported bridge extensions. Before purchasing a Token, you must download a supported Digital Wallet bridge extension and use such extension to connect and unlock your Digital Wallet through the Service. Once you submit an order to purchase a Token, your order is passed on to the applicable extension, which completes the transaction on your behalf.
b. ALL TRANSACTIONS INITIATED THROUGH OUR SERVICE ARE EFFECTED BY THIRD-PARTY DIGITAL WALLET EXTENSIONS. BY USING OUR SERVICES YOU AGREE THAT SUCH TRANSACTIONS ARE GOVERNED BY THE TERMS OF SERVICE AND PRIVACY POLICY FOR THE APPLICABLE EXTENSIONS.

The Nifty may also require you to provide additional information and documents in cases where it has reasons to believe that: (i) your Digital Wallet or other access to the Service is being used for money laundering or for any other illegal activity;(ii) you have concealed or reported false identification information and other details; or (iii) transactions effected via your Digital Wallet were effected in breach of this Agreement. In such cases, The Nifty, in its sole discretion, may pause or cancel your transactions until such requested additional information and documents have been reviewed by The Nifty and accepted as satisfying the requirements of applicable law, regulation, or policy. If you do not provide complete and accurate information and documents in response to such a request, The Nifty may refuse to provide any Token, Content (as defined below), product, service and/or further access to the Service to you.
d. When you use the Service, you hereby represent and warrant, to and for the benefit of The Nifty, its affiliates, and its and their respective representatives, as follows:
• Authority. You have all requisite capacity, power and authority to enter into, and perform your obligations under this Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance of, and the performance of your obligations under, this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of you and, if you are an entity, such entity’s board of directors or comparable authority(ies), and no other proceedings on your part are necessary to authorize the execution, delivery or performance of your obligations under this Agreement by you.

You further agree that, if you sell a Token, you will bind the purchaser of the Token to such Secondary Sale terms and conditions.
c. The Nifty may add or change any payment processing services at any time. Such services may be subject to additional terms or conditions. Whether a particular cryptocurrency is accepted as a payment method by The Nifty is subject to change at any time in The Nifty’s sole discretion.

17. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE FOLLOWING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT ("ARBITRATION AGREEMENT"). IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH THE NIFTY AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.
a. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute, claim, or request for relief relating in any way to your access or use of the Service, to any products sold or distributed through the Service, or to any aspect of your relationship with The Nifty, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (a) you may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if your claims qualify; and (b) you or The Nifty may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all disputes or claims and requests for relief that arose or were asserted before the effective date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement.
b. Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your dispute or claim or request for relief to us at [email protected]. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims, counterclaims, or request for relief under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other disputes shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, The Nifty will pay them for you. In addition, we will reimburse all such JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for disputes, claims, or requests for relief totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
c. Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any assertion that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and us. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and this Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
d. Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND THE NIFTY 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 we are instead electing that all disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 17(a) (Application of Arbitration Agreement) above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement 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.
e. Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS, AND REQUESTS FOR RELIEF WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this section’s limitations as to a given dispute, claim, or request for relief, then such aspect must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in the State of New York All other disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be arbitrated.
f. 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to [email protected] within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your username (if any) or the wallet address you used to connect to the Service (if any), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
g. Severability. Except as provided in Section 17(e) (Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief), if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with us.
h. Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if we make any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing us at [email protected] and expressly opting out of this Arbitration Agreement.
