PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY SECTIONS 14 “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” BELOW FOR DETAILS REGARDING ARBITRATION.

1. Agreement to Terms.

 

(a) “NFT” means a non-fungible token (i.e., a controllable electronic record recorded on a blockchain) that, as of its genesis issuance, is associated with an image of NFT Art that is generated on a blockchain network. “NFT Art” means those images of ANTONIA PIA GORDON® and the underlying creative elements (i.e., “traits’ or “properties”) that form them,).

(b) Additional Terms: NFT may be available for purchase on one or more third-party platforms, such as Verisart, OpenSea, Rarible (each, an “NFT Marketplace”), which we do not operate. The access and use of the NFT Marketplace are subject to the separate terms of the NFT Marketplace.

 

2. Ownership of a NFT.

 

(a) When Purchaser acquires a ANTONIA PIA GORDON®’s NFT Purchaser owns all personal property rights to that NFT (e.g., the right to freely sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of that NFT).

(b) Purchaser represents and warrants that it will not transfer a NFT in any subsequent transaction to a Transferee that is (i) located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a terrorist-supporting country; or is (ii) listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties; or (iii) is listed on any of the European Union or United Nations sanctions lists (“Prohibited Transferees”).

(b) APG does not store, send, or receive cryptocurrency assets. Any transfer of cryptocurrency assets occurs within the supporting blockchain that is not controlled by APG. Transactions in NFT may be irreversible, and, accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable. Some transactions of NFT shall be deemed to be made when recorded on a public blockchain ledger, which is not necessarily the date or time that Purchaser initiated the transaction.

 

(c) There are risks associated with using an Internet based digital asset, 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. APG will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when effecting NFT transactions, however caused.

 

(d) Digital assets, including blockchain based assets such as the NFTs, are subject to developing laws and regulations throughout the world.

 

(e) Transactions involving an NFT may rely on third-party platforms to perform transactions. If APG or any of its third party service providers is unable to maintain a good relationship with such platform providers; if the terms and conditions or pricing of such platform providers change; if APG violates or cannot comply with the terms and conditions of such platforms; or if any of such platforms loses market share or falls out of favor or is unavailable for a prolonged period of time, access to and interactions of a NFT will suffer.

 

9. Links to Third Party Websites or Resources. Use and interaction of NFTs and NFT Art may allow, from time to time, Purchaser to access third-party websites or other resources. APG provides access only as a convenience and is not responsible for the content, products or services on or available from those resources or links displayed on such websites. Purchaser acknowledges sole responsibility for and assumes all risk arising from Purchaser’s use of any third-party resources. Under no circumstances shall Purchaser’s inability to view its NFT Art on a third-party website serve as grounds for a claim against APG.

 

10. Termination of License to NFT Art. Purchaser’s license to the NFT Art shall automatically terminate and all rights shall revert to APG if at any time: (i) Purchaser breaches any portion of this Agreement or (ii) Purchaser engages in any unlawful activity related to a NFT (including transferring an NFT to a Prohibited Transferee). Upon any termination, discontinuation or cancellation of Purchaser’s license to NFT Art, APG may disable Purchaser’s access to the NFT Art and Purchaser shall delete, remove, or otherwise destroy any back up or single digital or physical copy of the NFT Art. Upon any termination, discontinuation or cancellation of the license in this Agreement, the following Sections will survive: 2, 4, 6 through 15.

 

11. Indemnity. Purchaser shall defend, indemnify, and hold APG and any other third party service provider appointed by APG harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, investigations, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, settlements, interest, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) that directly or indirectly arise from or are related to any claim, suit, action, demand, or proceeding made or brought by a third party (including any person who accesses or transacts using a NFT whether or not such person personally purchased an NFT) against APG, or on account of the investigation, defense, or settlement thereof, arising out of or in connection with (a) your access to or use of the NFT Marketplace or (b) your breach of this Agreement.

12. Limitation of Liability.

 

(a) TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER APG NOR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS, INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING AN ONCHAIN NFT WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES, LOST SAVINGS, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OF DATA OR GOODWILL, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE OR SYSTEM FAILURE OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE NFT OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE OR INTERACT WITH A NFT OR ACCESS THE NFT ART, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT APG OR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

 

(b) TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF THE APPLICABLE JURISDICTION, IN NO EVENT WILL APG’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE OR INTERACT WITH A NFT OR ACCESS THE NFT ART EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100.00).

 

(c) THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN APG AND PURCHASER.

 

13. Governing Law and Forum Choice. This Agreement and any action related thereto will be governed by the Federal Laws of the United Arab Emirates and the Emirate of Dubai, without regard to its conflict of law’s provisions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 14 “Dispute Resolution,” the exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes (defined below) that Purchaser and APG are not required to arbitrate will be the Courts of Dubai, and Purchaser and APG each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

 

14. Dispute Resolution. ‌

 

• Mandatory arbitration of disputes: Any dispute arising out of the formation, performance, interpretation, nullification, termination or invalidation of this Agreement or arising therefrom or related thereto in any manner whatsoever, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the provisions set forth under the Rules of arbitration (“the Rules”) of the Dubai International Arbitration Centre . The number of arbitrators shall be three (z) appointed in compliance with the Rules, the place of arbitration shall be Dubai and the venue shall be the premises of the Dubai International Arbitration Centre. The language of arbitration is English.

 

(b) Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the Rules, and APG won’t seek to recover the administration and arbitrator fees APG is responsible for paying, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If APG prevails in arbitration APG will pay for all of its attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law
