(“Company,” “we,” or “us”).

These Terms govern your access to and use of the Services. Please read these Terms carefully, as they include important information about your legal rights. By accessing and/or using the Services, you are agreeing to these Terms. If you do not understand or agree to these Terms, please do not use the Services.

For purposes of these Terms, “you” and “your” means you as the user of the Services. If you use the Services on behalf of a company or other entity then “you” includes you and that entity, and you represent and warrant that (9.3/a) you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind the entity to these Terms, and (9.3/b) you agree to these Terms on the entity’s behalf.

1. SERVICES, WALLETS, ACCOUNTS

1.1. Description of the Services. The Services offer a unique metaverse gaming experience via the Game and other related experiences through the combination of traditional core game and blockchain mechanics via the Solana blockchain (the “MOTS Game Metaverse”). The MOTS Game Metaverse is driven by a token system “MOTS”. MOTS serves as the native in-Game currency used for in-Game economic interactions, such as purchasing resources, developments and other in-Game assets. Further details on the MOTS Game Metaverse, including the uses of MOTS, are set forth in the MOTS Game Economics whitepaper, currently available at https://www.motsgame.io, as we may update from time to time.

1.2. DACs. The MOTS Game Metaverse utilizes a guild system that allows you to create factions and collectives that operate in a decentralized, autonomous way (“Decentralized Autonomous Corporations”). The Services may provide you and other players with certain tools that enable the implementation and management of such Decentralized Autonomous Corporations. We reserve the right to revoke access from any Decentralized Autonomous Corporation, or member player thereof, to such tools in the event that such Decentralized Autonomous Corporation or player violates these Terms or for any other reason we determine in our good faith business judgment.

1.3. Game Items. We make no promises or guarantees regarding the functionality, utility, or value of any Game Items and such Game Items may evolve and change as we the Game and the MOTS Game Metaverse.

1.4. Game NFTs. Your purchase of Game Items may be accompanied by non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”), and your ownership of these NFTs is tracked via the Solana blockchain (“Game NFTs”). Your ownership of these Game NFTs will give you certain rights and privileges within the Services, for as long as we make the Services and such rights and privileges available to you. You are responsible for all payments, fees and costs when engaging in any transactions involving Game NFTs, including, without limitation, the purchase price, transaction fees, fees associated with your secondary or subsequent sales of Game NFTs, and all other fees associated with your use of the Game NFTs via the Services.

1.5. Wallet. To use certain of the Services, you need to link to the Services via a non-custodial digital wallet made available by a third party and that is compatible with the Solana network and the Services (a “Digital Wallet”). A list of supported wallets will be displayed by us, such as on the Services website. Linking a Digital Wallet to the Services is required to be able to purchase, store, and engage in transactions using the Services, and to connect your Game NFTs and MOTS tokens with the Services. Assets stored in your Digital Wallet are owned and controlled solely by you. Digital Wallets are not associated with, maintained by, controlled by, or affiliated with us. We may not be able to help you recover assets stored in your Digital Wallet, as these are non-custodial wallets in your control. We accept no responsibility or liability to you in connection with your use of a Digital Wallet and make no representations or warranties regarding how the Services will operate with any specific Digital Wallet. The private keys, credentials, passwords, seed phrases, or secret recovery passphrases necessary to decrypt or gain access to a Digital Wallet are held solely by you, and not by us. If you choose to transfer items from one Digital Wallet to another, such transfers will occur on the public blockchain and we accept no liability or responsibility for any such transfer, including for any loss, data corruption, or other negative impact that may occur to your Offerings or Digital Wallets or other assets when attempting to transfer assets between Digital Wallets. We reserve the right, with or without prior notice and in our sole and complete discretion, to discontinue, modify, or limit the operation of any Digital Wallet with the Services. You represent and warrant that you are the lawful owner of any Digital Wallet and that you are using that Digital Wallet under the terms and conditions of the applicable provider of the Digital Wallet. If you have any issues with your Digital Wallet, please contact your Digital Wallet provider.

1.6. Changes and Pricing. We may, at any time, revise or change the pricing, availability, specifications, content, descriptions, or features of any Offerings sold by us, and to correct pricing errors that may inadvertently occur (and to cancel any orders in our sole discretion that were purchased with pricing errors). All such changes shall be effective immediately upon posting of such new Offerings prices to the Services. While we attempt to be as accurate as we can in our descriptions for the Offerings, we do not warrant that Offerings descriptions are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. The inclusion of any Offerings for purchase through the Services at a particular time does not imply or warrant that the Offerings will be available at any other time. We reserve the right to change prices for Offerings displayed on the Services at any time.

1.7. Purchases Made for Consumptive Use. You acknowledge and affirm that you are acquiring Offerings, whether through the Marketplace or otherwise through the Services, for purposes of use in connection with the Services and, in the case of the Game NFTs, to play the Game or for other collectible purposes, and in each case not for any investment or speculative purposes. Any economic benefit that may be derived from appreciation in the value of an Offering or Game NFT is incidental to obtaining it for its use in connection with the Services or its collectible purpose.

1.8. ALL SALES FINAL. ALL PURCHASES MADE THROUGH THE SERVICES ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR REGULATION (AND IN SUCH INSTANCES WHERE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE COMPANY’S ABILITY TO ISSUE ANY SUCH REFUND IS LIMITED TO WHETHER THE APPLICABLE SMART CONTRACT ENABLES THE COMPANY TO REASONABLY REVERSE OR CANCEL A TRANSACTION). NEVERTHELESS, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE COMPANY DOES NOT IN MOST CASES HAVE THE ABILITY TO REVERSE OR CANCEL A TRANSACTION AND IS NOT REQUIRED OR OBLIGATED TO PROVIDE A REFUND OF ANY PURCHASE FOR ANY REASON, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE MONEY OR OTHER COMPENSATION FOR TIME, ITEMS, AMOUNTS, OR VALUES IN A GAME ACCOUNT (INCLUDING ANY UNUSED OR PARTIAL USED MEMBERSHIP TIME), EVEN IF AN ACCOUNT IS CLOSED, WHETHER SUCH CLOSURE WAS VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY.

9. GOVERNING LAW, ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION WAIVER

9.1. Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut, without regard to conflict of laws rules, and the proper venue for any disputes arising out of or relating to any of the same will be the arbitration venue set forth herein, or if arbitration does not apply, then the state and federal courts located in Connecticut. You and the Company agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to the interpretation or construction of these Terms.

After the informal dispute resolution process, any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”), whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, or any other legal theory, relating in any way to your use of the Company’s services and/or products, including the Services, will be resolved by arbitration, including the resolution of threshold questions as to the arbitrability of the Claim. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT “Claim” AS DEFINED IN THESE TERMS SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT, MISAPPROPRIATION, DILUTION, OR OTHER MISUSE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. You and the Company agree that any Claim will be settled by final and binding arbitration, using the English language, administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) then in effect (those rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this section, and as of the date of these Terms). Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis in accordance with the Rules. Class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU AND THE COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR CLASS ARBITRATION. You and Company further agree: (i) to arbitrate all Claims between the parties pursuant to the provisions in these Terms; (ii) these Terms memorialize a transaction in interstate commerce; and (iii) the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section. The arbitrator’s decision(s) shall be made pursuant to the Rules and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these Terms as permitted by the governing Connecticut law and subject to the terms and limitations in these Terms. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing agreement to arbitration:

a) Injunctive Relief. You and the Company will have the right to bring an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable or conservatory relief, pending a final decision by the arbitrator.

b) Small Claims. Any Claim which is eligible for resolution in the small claims court (or its equivalent) of the jurisdiction in which the party bringing the claim is domiciled may be brought in such small claims court or its equivalent on an individual, non-representative, and non-class basis. If a party initiating such a Claim is domiciled outside of the United States or in a jurisdiction which does not have small claims courts or their equivalent, any claim for less than $5000 USD may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the jurisdiction in which the party initiating the Claim is domiciled.

9.4. Confidentiality. You and Company agree that any Claim that has been submitted to arbitration, and all related proceedings, including any settlement agreement, shall be kept confidential. In the event you or the Company file the arbitration award with any court of competent jurisdiction in order to have that award confirmed in a court order or judgment, or any other proceeding under the Federal Arbitration Act, then each party shall take measures to the extent permitted by applicable law to redact or file under seal any highly sensitive business or personal information that appear in the award and any other supporting documents filed in such a proceeding.

9.5. Conduct of the Arbitration. Any arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Rules, except that, if the amount in dispute exceeds $10 million USD, the arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three neutral arbitrators appointed in accordance with the Rules. The arbitration shall have its seat in Connecticut. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by videoconference (which you may join telephonically if you are unable to reasonably access or utilize videoconference technology), rather than by personal appearances, during ordinary business hours in the time zone in which the party initiating the arbitration resides. The arbitrator may direct that the hearing be held in person upon the request of any party if the arbitrator concludes that doing so would be appropriate under the circumstances. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the arbitrator. For the avoidance of doubt, the arbitration shall be deemed to take place in Connecticut, and any resulting award(s) will be rendered in Connecticut, regardless of the location or method of any hearings.

9.6. Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in these Terms by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to [email protected] by mail. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, the Company also will not be bound by them.

10. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

10.1. Updating These Terms. We may modify these Terms from time to time in which case we will update the “Last Revised On” date at the top of these Terms. If we make changes that are material, we will use reasonable efforts to attempt to notify you. However, it is your sole responsibility to review these Terms from time to time to view any such changes. The updated Terms will be effective as of the time of posting, or such later date as may be specified in the updated Terms. Your continued access or use of the Services after the modifications have become effective will be deemed your acceptance of the modified Terms.

10.2. Termination of License and Your Account. If you breach any of the provisions of these Terms, all licenses granted by the Company will terminate automatically. Additionally, the Company may suspend, disable, or delete your Account and/or the Services (or any part of the foregoing) with or without notice, for any or no reason. If the Company deletes your Account for any suspected breach of these Terms by you, you are prohibited from re-registering for the Services under a different name or wallet address. In the event of Account deletion for any reason, the Company may, but is not obligated to, delete any of Your Content. The Company shall not be responsible for the deletion of or failure to delete Your Content. All sections which by their nature should survive the termination of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding any termination of these Terms by the Company or you. Termination will not limit any of the Company’s other rights or remedies at law or in equity.

10.3. Injunctive Relief. You agree that a breach of these Terms will cause irreparable injury to the Company for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law without a bond, other security, or proof of damages.

10.4. Export Laws. You agree that you will not export or re-export, directly or indirectly, the Services and/or other information or materials provided by the Company hereunder, to any country for which the United States or any other relevant jurisdiction requires any export license or other governmental approval at the time of export without first obtaining such license or approval. In particular, but without limitation, the Services may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any U.S. embargoed countries or any country that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country, or (b) to anyone listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties, including the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Person’s List or Entity List. You warrant and represent that you’re not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any embargoed country. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are not located in any such country or on any such list. You are responsible for and hereby agree to comply at your sole expense with all applicable United States export laws and regulations.

10.5. Miscellaneous. If any provision of these Terms shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. These Terms and the licenses granted hereunder may be assigned by the Company but may not be assigned by you without the prior express written consent of the Company. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. The section headings used herein are for reference only and shall not be read to have any legal effect. The Services are operated by us in the United States. Those who choose to access the Services from locations outside the United States do so at their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws.
