FEE AND PAYMENT.

7.1. Any purchases, trade, or sell of the NFTs from the Site, or App or associated marketplaces will be done through smart contracts on a blockchain using a digital asset wallet like Metamask. Any financial transactions that you engage in will be conducted solely through the Blockchain via a digital asset wallet 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. With that in mind, 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 App or using the Smart Contracts, or any other transactions that you conduct via the Polygon network.

7.2. The Polygon network requires the payment of a transaction fee (a “Gas Fee”) for every transaction that occurs on the Polygon network. The Gas Fee funds the network of computers that run the decentralized Polygon network. This means that you will need to pay a Gas Fee for each transaction that occurs via the App.

7.3. In addition to the Gas Fee, each time you utilize a Smart Contract to conduct a transaction with another user via the App, you authorize us to collect a commission of a percentage determined by the Game development team of the total value of that transaction (each, a “Commission”). You acknowledge and agree that the Commission will be transferred directly to us through the Polygon Network as a part of the transaction.

7.4. As between us, you will be solely responsible to pay any and all sales, use, value-added and other taxes, duties, and assessments (except taxes on our net income) now or hereafter claimed or imposed by any governmental authority (collectively, “Taxes”) associated with your use of the App (including, without limitation, any Taxes that may become payable as the result of your ownership, or transfer of the NFTs). Except for income taxes levied on the Company, 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.

NFTs Sale.

8.1. The NFTs are available for sale for the first time on the marketplace through sales or auctions.‍

8.2. Purchasing the NFTs with a Fixed Price. If it is made available, you may enter into a fixed price sale transaction whereby we have listed such NFTs for sale on the marketplace at a fixed sale price and you may enter into a legally binding agreement to purchase such NFT by committing to buy the NFTs at the specified sale price.

8.3. Auction. You may enter into an auction transaction whereby we have listed such NFTs for sale on the marketplace via an auction process. A bid is a binding contract that You cannot revoke. When You bid on a NFT in an auction, You're committing to buy it if You win the auction. We may establish a specific start and end time for an auction for a NFT to go live. We may optionally include a starting auction price. In the timed auction, your bid must be higher than the starting price and you bid against other auction participants. A timed auction may be cancelled or postponed prior to the start of the auction, i.e. when it is counting down to kick off. A Reserved Auction for a NFT is configured to automatically go live once a bid is received equal or greater to a reserve price established by the Company. Once the reserve price is met, the auction will be initiated and configured to last for a set period of time (normally 24 hours). The NFT goes to the highest bidder at the end of the auction. Once initiated, both Timed and Reserve Auctions last for a discrete window of time (between few hours and up to few days for Timed Auctions and normally 24 hours for Reserve Auctions). You cannot cancel the bid once it is placed. When the auction ends, the highest bidder wins the auction and the NFT will be sold. Auction timers are not exact and only represent an approximate as to the start or end time remaining for a particular auction. Auction participants should get their bids in as early as possible to ensure that they are processed by the auction Smart Contract before the close of the auction. Auction participants are generally forbidden from engaging in any deceptive conduct that may prevent competitive or fair bidding, artificially inflate or deflate the price of an NFT, simulate demand for an NFT (i.e., "wash trading"), or any other anticompetitive bidding conduct, including but not limited to “puffing”, “chill bidding”, “shill bidding”, “sham bidding”, or “sock puppet bidding”. You acknowledge and agree to assume the risk of initiating or participating in an auction and take full responsibility and liability for the outcome of any auction that You participate in. We shall not be liable to You or any third-party for the outcome of any auction.

8.4. The NFTs can be resold to any third parties. Any revenue earned in the marketplace for sales of the NFTs, minus any Gas Fees and Commission, shall be paid to you on the Blockchain by the purchaser of your NFT.

OWNERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT OF DIGITAL ASSETS, NFTs, AND CONTENT CREATED BY USERS.

9.1. Ownership. The owner of an NFT obtains an exclusive license to use the NFT in the Game world. This right includes the right to charge other players for certain access to the in-game land represented by and tied to the NFT. Each piece of land represented by an NFT carries certain attributes as described on the Site. Each NFT owner decides what can be built and done on the land tied to their NFT and may impose their own terms and conditions and policies (which shall not conflict with these Terms).

9.2. Rights. When an NFT land is bought by a wallet, the controller of that wallet has an exclusive license to possess and use the land associated with the NFT in the Game world. The relevant land will have the features of the land based on its tier and any efforts expended on the in-game land by the NFT landowner. The absolute ownership of the in-game land lies at all times with the Company, who licenses the right to possess and use the land and makes it available with the attributes applicable to the tier to which the land belongs in the game world. The Company grants to the purchaser a non exclusive, worldwide, non-sublicensable without Company consent, royalty-free license to use and display any intellectual property that resides in the NFTs.

9.3. Content: All title, ownership and intellectual property rights over the content created by users belongs to the users who created said content. In the event, you as a user create a derivative content based on or inhering in any NFTs you own or access (the “Derivative Works”), you hereby agree to and are deemed to grant a license on and from the time Derivative Works are created to the Company a royalty free, irrevocable, unlimited, worldwide, transferable, assignable license related to the Derivative Works.
