Risks Associated with the Platform, Services and NFTs
By registering Your Account and/or using the Platform or Services and/or purchasing, selling or dealing in any way with any NFT, You understand and agree to the following risks:
1. Fraud and Other Attacks
By acquiring NFTs on the Platform, You accept that NFTs are subject to the risk of fraud, counterfeiting, cyber-attacks and other technological risks which may prevent Your access or use of them.
2. Value and Volatility of NFTs
The prices of collectible blockchain assets are extremely volatile and subjective and collectible blockchain assets have no inherent or intrinsic value. Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of Your NFTs which may also be subject to significant price volatility. Each NFT has no inherent or intrinsic value. We cannot guarantee that any NFT purchased will retain their original value, as the value of collectibles and other types of NFTs is inherently subjective and factors occurring outside of the Platform may materially impact the value and desirability of any particular NFT.
3. Other Platforms
Moreover, any purchase or sale You make, accept or facilitate outside of the Platform of an NFT, or any other transaction You make relating to an NFT outside of this Platform, will be entirely at Your risk. We do not endorse or control purchases or sales of NFTs outside of the Platform. We expressly deny any liability in relation to, and any obligation to indemnify You or hold You harmless for or in relation to, any liabilities, damages, expenses, costs, claims or losses You may incur by transacting, or facilitating transactions, in NFTs outside of this Platform.
4. Tax
You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to Your NFT-related transactions. We are not responsible for determining the taxes that apply to Your transactions on the Platform.
5. Use of Blockchain/Protocols
The Platform does not store, send, or receive NFTs. This is because NFTs exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on the Platform supporting blockchain in the Network. Any transfer of NFTs occurs within the supporting blockchain in the Network, and not on the Platform.
6. Internet Currency
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 unauthorised access to information stored within Your Wallet. You accept and acknowledge that We will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays You may experience when using the Network, however caused.
7. Regulatory Uncertainty
The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies and fungible and non-fungible tokens is uncertain and new laws, regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the Platform and, therefore the potential utility or value of Your NFTs, including but not limited to tax, financial services, securities and other laws, regulations and policies.
8. Software Risks
Upgrades to the Network, a hard fork in the Network, or a change in how transactions are confirmed on the Network may have unintended, adverse effects on all blockchains using the Network’s NFT standard, including the Platform.

For the avoidance of doubt, We will share Your personal information to the extent required by any applicable law or direction, including for the purpose of preventing fraud, anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing purposes
Force Majeure
We will not be liable or responsible to You or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached the Terms, due to any failure or delay by Us to comply with the Terms as a result of any Force Majeure Event. In the event of any Force Majeure Event affecting Us, We will use Our reasonable efforts to promptly notify You of the Force Majeure Event stating the period of time the occurrence is expected to continue.

4. Assignability and Continued Applicability
These Terms will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Rights Holder and its successors and assigns.

For the avoidance of doubt, no User will be entitled to enforce the Terms as they apply between Us and another User.6. Severability
If and to the extent any provision of these Terms is held illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in whole or in part under applicable law, such provision or such portion thereof shall be ineffective as to the jurisdiction in which it is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable to the extent of its illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability, and shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law so as to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties. The illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of such provision in that jurisdiction shall not in any way affect the legality, validity, or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction or of any other provision in any jurisdiction.
7. Further Acts
Each party must, at its own expense, whenever reasonably requested by the other party, promptly do or arrange for others to do everything reasonably necessary to give full effect to these Terms.
8. Applicable law
The courts in some countries will not apply the laws of Victoria, Australia to some types of disputes. If You reside in a country where the laws of Victoria, Australia are excluded from applying, then Your country’s laws will apply to such disputes related to these Terms. Otherwise, You agree that the laws of Victoria, Australia, excluding its choice of law rules, will apply to any disputes arising out of or relating to the Terms or the Services. Similarly, if the courts in Your country will not permit You to consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the courts in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, then Your local jurisdiction and venue will apply to such disputes related to the Terms.
