CHAINERS TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Last Updated: Sep 10th, 2024

Chainers is a distributed application that runs on the Polygon network, using uniquely coded smart contracts (each, a “Smart Contract”) that allow users to acquire, buy and sell own and transfer the unique digital avatars/characters known as Chainers (hereafter “Chainers”) located at chainers.io (the “Site”). The Smart Contracts and the Site are collectively referred to in these T&C as the “App”. Using the App, users can create and view their Chainers, store Chainers on chainers.io by default and use the Smart Contracts to acquire, buy, sell, own, trade, and transfer Chainers on the Polygon network.

Chainers.io (“Chainers.io”, “we”, or “us”) is the party making the App available for you to use. Before using the App, the Smart Contracts, or the Site, you must agree to these T&C and any other terms and conditions incorporated or referenced herein (the T&C and any other terms and conditions incorporated or referenced herein are collectively referred to as the “Terms”).

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, OR THE SITE. THESE TERMS GOVERN YOUR USE OF THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, AND THE SITE UNLESS CHAINERS.IO HAS AGREED TO A DIFFERENT WRITTEN AGREEMENT WITH YOU TO THE CONTRARY, SIGNED BY BOTH PARTIES. CHAINERS.IO IS ONLY WILLING TO MAKE THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, AND THE SITE AVAILABLE TO YOU IF YOU ACCEPT ALL OF THESE TERMS. BY USING THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, THE SITE, OR ANY PART THEREOF, YOU ARE CONFIRMING THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE TERMS CONTAINED HEREIN. IF YOU ARE ACCEPTING THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO ACCEPT THESE TERMS ON THAT ENTITY’S BEHALF, IN WHICH CASE “YOU” WILL MEAN THAT COMPANY OR LEGAL ENTITY. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, OR IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT ALL OF THESE TERMS, THEN WE ARE NOT WILLING TO MAKE THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, OR THE SITE AVAILABLE TO YOU. IF YOU DO NOT FULLY AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO ACCESS OR USE THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, OR THE SITE.

ALL TRANSACTIONS INITIATED THROUGH THE APP ARE FACILITATED AND RUN BY THIRD-PARTY ELECTRONIC WALLETS ON THE POLYGON BLOCKCHAIN, AND BY USING THE APP YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE GOVERNED BY THE TERMS OF SERVICE AND PRIVACY POLICY FOR THOSE APPLICABLE WALLETS. WE ARE NOT A BROKER, FINANCIAL INSTITUTION, OR CREDITOR. THE APP IS AN ADMINISTRATIVE PLATFORM ONLY. WE FACILITATE TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN THE BUYER AND SELLER BUT ARE NOT A PARTY TO ANY AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE BUYER AND SELLER (UNLESS WE ARE THE SELLER). YOU BEAR FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR VERIFYING THE IDENTITY, LEGITIMACY, AND AUTHENTICITY OF ANY ASSETS YOU PURCHASE.

1. THE APP

To use the App, you will need to have a web browser.

All transactions regarding Chainers are managed and confirmed via the Polygon blockchain. You understand that your Polygon public address may be made publicly visible whenever you engage in a transaction.

We do not own nor control your web browser, your Polygon wallet, the Polygon network, or any other third-party site, product, or service that you might access, visit or use for the purpose of enabling you to perform a transaction with your Chainers. We are not liable for the acts or omissions of any such third parties, nor will we be liable for any damage that you may suffer as a result of your transactions or any other interaction with any such third parties.

You may be able to create an account on the Site. If so, you agree to provide true, accurate, and complete information about yourself. If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account, contact us immediately.

The App may show certain pricing data that has been loaded and collected from the Polygon blockchain. We are not liable for any incorrect information or typographical errors of any kind, including any incorrect information that is due to a coding error, blockchain code errors, or a data outage. It is your duty and obligation to confirm any and all pricing data on your own and base any decisions you make on your own information and data.

Any calculations that are displayed on the App are for information purposes only. These calculations are in no way predictions of value and you agree that you will not construe these calculations as predictions of future prices or values in any way or that we are giving you any advice on what to purchase or not to purchase. All such decisions are made in your sole discretion without reliance on any information provided on the App.

We are not responsible or liable for any transactions that are canceled by a seller.

2. THE CHAINERS

The number of Chainers is limited.

Claiming Chainers is executed when the Chainers’s design is randomly generated by the platform. You can claim a Chainer on the Site using your account on the Site. You are responsible for any fees necessary to mint the token. Furthermore, you are responsible for any potential taxes associated with Chainers minting.

3. OWNERSHIP, LICENSE, RESTRICTIONS

DEFINITIONS

“Art” means any art, design, and drawings that may be associated with a Chainers that you Own.
“Own” means, with respect to Chainers, a Chainer that you have purchased or otherwise rightfully acquired from a legitimate source, where proof of such purchase is recorded on the relevant Polygon blockchain.

“Third Party IP” means any third-party patent rights, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, know-how, or any other intellectual property rights recognized in any country or jurisdiction in the world.

OWERSHIP

When you purchase a Chainer, you own only the NFT, not any associated Art. Each Chainers is associated with a non-fungible token (an “NFT”) on the Polygon blockchain. When you acquire a Chainers, you own the NFT, not the associated Art, or any other Chainers Materials (as that term is defined below), or any Third Party IP. You can trade the NFT, sell it, or give it away for free. Ownership of the NFT is governed solely by the Smart Contract and the Polygon Network.
We Own the App, and the App includes the Art. You acknowledge and agree that chainers.io (or, as applicable, our licensors) owns all legal right, title, and interest in and to all other elements of the App, and all intellectual property rights therein (including, without limitation, all Art, designs, names, copyrights, trademarks, patents, systems, methods, information, computer code, software, services, “look and feel”, organization, a compilation of the content, code, data, and all other elements of the App (collectively, the “Chainers Materials”)).

You may not use the Chainers name without our prior written consent. Except as expressly set forth herein, your use of the App does not grant you ownership of or any other rights with respect to any Art, content, code, data, or other Chainers Materials that you may access on or through the App. We reserve all rights in and to the Chainers Materials that are not expressly granted to you in these Terms. For the avoidance of doubt, you understand and agree:
- that your acquisition or purchase of ta Chainers, whether via the App or otherwise, does not give you any rights or licenses in or to the Chainers Materials (including, without limitation, our copyright in and to the associated Art or the Chainers name/trademark) other than those expressly contained in these tTerms;

LICENSE TO ART

General Use. Subject to your full and continued compliance with these Terms, chainers.io grants you a limited worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use, copy, and display the Art of your Claimed Chainers solely for the following purposes:

for your own personal, non-commercial use;
as part of a marketplace that permits the purchase and sale of your Claimed Chainers, provided that the marketplace cryptographically verifies each Chainers owner’s rights to display the Art for their Claimed Chainers to ensure that only the actual owner of the NFT can display the Art;
as part of a third-party website or application that permits the inclusion, involvement, or participation of your Claimed Chainers, provided that the website/application cryptographically verifies each Chainers owner’s rights to display the Art for their Claimed Chainers to ensure that only the actual owner of the NFT can display the Art, and provided that the Art is no longer visible once the owner of the Claimed Chainers leaves or logs out of the applicable website/application.

Non-digital Commercial Use. Subject to your continued compliance with these Terms, chainers.io grants you a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use, copy, and display the Art for your Claimed Chainers for the purpose of commercializing your own physical merchandise that includes, contains, or consists of the Art for your Claimed Chainers (“Commercial Use”), provided that such Commercial Use does not include any form of collaboration or involvement of any brand or other third party, or result in you earning more than USD$100,000 in gross revenue each year. In the event your Commercial Use exceeds USD$100,000 in a given year, you will need to enter into a commercial license with us. If you exceed the USD$100,000 limitation, you will be in breach of these Terms and must contact chainers.io regarding entering into a broader license agreement (which will be in chainers.io’s sole and absolute discretion). Without entering into a commercial license with us, you acknowledge and agree that:

you are in breach of these Terms;
in addition to any remedies that may be available to chainers.io at law or in equity, chainers.io may immediately terminate the license granted above;
you will be liable and responsible to reimburse chainers.io for any costs and expenses incurred by chainers.io during the course of enforcing these Terms against you (including attorney and legal fees).

RESTRICTIONS

You agree that you may not, nor permit any third party to do or attempt to do any of the foregoing without chainers.io’s express prior written consent in each case:

modify the Art for your Claimed Chainers in any way, including, without limitation, the shapes, designs, drawings, attributes, or color schemes;
use the Art for your Claimed Chainers to advertise, market, or sell any third-party product or service;
use the Art for your Claimed Chainers 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;
use the Art for your Claimed Chainers in movies, videos, or any other forms of media, except to the limited extent that such use is expressly permitted in these Terms or solely for your own personal, non-commercial use;
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 Art for your Claimed Chainers, except as expressly permitted in these Terms;
attempt to trademark, copyright, or otherwise acquire additional intellectual property rights in or to the Art for your Claimed Chainers;
otherwise, utilize the Art for your Claimed Chainers for your or any third party’s commercial benefit. To the extent that Art associated with your Claimed Chainers contains Third Party IP (e.g., licensed intellectual property from a celebrity, athlete, or other public figures), you understand and agree as follows: that you will not have the right to use such Third Party IP in any way except as incorporated in the Art, and subject to the license and restrictions contained herein;
that the Commercial Use license in Section 3.C
above will not apply;
that, depending on the nature of the license granted from the owner of the Third Party IP, chainers.io may need to pass through additional restrictions on your ability to use the Art;
to the extent that chainers.io informs you of such additional restrictions in writing (email is acceptable), you will be responsible for complying with all such restrictions from the date that you receive the notice, and that failure to do so will be deemed a breach of this license. For the avoidance of doubt, it is strictly prohibited and a violation of these Terms to use any Art or Claimed Chainers in order to create a similar or derivative NFT based on the Art or Claimed Chainers. Such use constitutes a violation of these Terms as well as intellectual property infringement, which would cause monetary damages and irreparable harm to chainers.io. The restrictions in this Section will survive the expiration or termination of these Terms.

OTHER TERMS OF LICENSE

The license granted in Section 3.C above applies only to the extent that you continue to Own the applicable Claimed Chainers. If at any time you sell, trade, donate, give away, transfer, or otherwise dispose of your Claimed Chainers for any reason, the license granted in Section 3.C will immediately expire with respect to you and that Chainers without requiring notice, and you will have no further rights in or to the Art for that Chainers.

FEEDBACK

You may submit comments, bug reports, ideas, or other feedback about the App (collectively, “Feedback”). You hereby grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide license under all rights necessary for us to incorporate and use your Feedback for any purpose. By submitting Feedback, you agree that we are free to use such Feedback at our discretion and without additional compensation to you and to disclose such Feedback to third parties.

We cannot guarantee that any purchasers of Chainers will not lose money.
You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your Chainers-related transactions. Chainers.com is not responsible for determining the taxes that apply to any of your transactions.
Chainers exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on the blockchain in the Polygon network. Any transfer of Chainers occurs within the supporting blockchain in the Polygon network.
There are risks associated with using an Internet-based currency, including, but not limited to, the risk of hardware, software, and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information stored within your wallet.

(e) A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the chainers.io ’ ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of Chainers.
The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the chainers.io ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of Chainers. (g) Upgrades by Polygon to the Polygon platform, a hard fork in the Polygon platform, or a change in how transactions are confirmed on the Polygon platform may have unintended, adverse effects on all blockchains, including the chainers.io ’ ecosystem.
