These Terms and Conditions (these “Terms”) govern your participation in The Non Fungible Token Company, Inc.’s (d/b/a Unblocked) (“Unblocked”, “we”, “us” or
“our”) creator program (the “Creator Program”) pursuant to which we may provide you certain services relating to minting, marketing, selling and supporting sales of non-fungible tokens or similar digital items (“NFTs”) to consumers on Unblocked’s NFT marketplace, Unblocked Exchange, currently available at https://unblocked.exchange/ (the “Platform”) and/or any related mobile application that we may develop in the future.
BY CLICKING A BOX INDICATING YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS OR BY OTHERWISE PROVIDING ANY CONTENT TO US, YOU ARE AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. Please read these Terms carefully.
As used herein, “you” means a participant in the Creator Program. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to these Terms, in which case the term “you” will refer to such entity.
- Application.
1.1 Eligibility. You must be at least 18 years of age to participate in the Creator Program and you must reside in a jurisdiction where the Creator Services are offered.
1.2 Application. You must complete and submit an application form to be considered for the Creator Program. We will review all information submitted and may separately contact you with requests for additional information via the e-mail address included on your application. Acceptance of an application is at our sole discretion. We will notify you via e-mail to confirm whether or not you have been accepted in the Creator Program.
- Creator Services
2.1 Creator Services. Upon acceptance into the Creator Program, we will conduct an introductory call pursuant to which we will discuss the specifics of the services which we may perform for you, which may include: (a) strategy services such as assisting with creative design, NFT drop strategy and a go-to-market strategy; (b) technical services such as NFT minting and digital wallet creation, (c) marketing services; (d) fulfillment services relating to the fulfillment of any reward linked to an NFT; and (e) customer support services to assist with any issues or concerns with buyers of NFTs (collectively, the “Creator Services”).
2.2 Cooperation. You agree to cooperate in good faith in connection with our provision of the Creator Services, including by meeting periodically and to promptly provide information and materials we may request. We will be excused from meeting specified deadlines or performing specified responsibilities to the extent our delays or failures are caused by your delays or failures in providing us with reasonable cooperation or access to information or documentation necessary for the performance of Creator Services.
2.3 NFT Sales. All sales of Licensed NFTs (as defined below) will be completed on the Platform and/or a related mobile application that we may develop in the future and will be pursuant to the terms of service (available at https://support.unblocked.exchange/hc/en-us/articles/5675359058587-Unblocked-Terms-of-Service) and any and all guidelines, policies, and terms applicable to and available on the Platform, as such guidelines, policies, and terms may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms therein (collectively, the “Platform Terms”). As further detailed in the Platform Terms, all NFT sales are transactions between you, as the seller, and an end user who buys or otherwise acquires the applicable Licensed NFT on the Platform or related mobile application (each, a “Buyer User”). We are not a party to any sales agreements between you and a Buyer User.
2.4 NFT Minting Services. We mint each Licensed NFT on a publicly available blockchain (such as the Flow blockchain). Once committed to the blockchain, the Licensed NFTs cannot be edited or changed, including by us or any other third party. You agree and acknowledge that (a) NFTs are not used to make payments and are not mutually interchangeable and therefore, these design features limit the usefulness of NFTs as a form of payment or substitute for currency and (b) NFTs, including any Licensed NFT, are only intended to be used for enjoyment as digital collectibles. You agree that you will not, and will not permit any other person to (i) portray the Licensed NFTs as an opportunity to gain an economic benefit or profit, or as an investment or equity interest, (ii) engage in any messaging or communications that promote the Licensed NFTs as investments or products that will appreciate in value, (iii) encourage the mistaken impression that any Licensed NFT should be viewed as investments or products that will appreciate in value, (iv) engage in any promotion or marketing of the Licensed NFT in a manner that is misleading or deceptive, or (v) encourage speculation on the potential value of any Licensed NFT.
2.5 Rewards Fulfillment Services. As part of the Creator Services, we may advise you with respect to rewards that may be offered in connection with the sale of a Licensed NFT. You are free to elect any type of reward that is offered to Buyer Users of the Licensed NFTs; provided, however that (a) all rewards must be redeemed, received or otherwise fulfilled within three (3) months of the sale of the Licensed NFT, or such other time period as may be agreed to by Unblocked in writing and (b) rewards are only given in connection with the primary sale of a Licensed NFT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, unless otherwise agreed to by us, you shall remain solely responsible for delivering or fulfilling the applicable reward to the Buyer User and we are not liable for any breach or default by you in failing to deliver or fulfill any reward offered in connection with the sale of a Licensed NFT. For example, if a reward is a physical good, we may assist to gather contact information from the Buyer Users; however, you remain responsible for shipping the applicable physical good to such Buyer Users. If a reward is a digital good and we agree to deliver such digital good to Buyer Users, then you are responsible for delivering the applicable digital good to us in a timely manner and in a format as requested by us.
2.6 Buyer Users Data. We may receive certain information regarding Buyer Users, which may include personal information such as such a Buyer User’s name, contact information and/or social media accounts (the “Buyer Users Data”). If we receive any Buyer Users Data and have the right to disclose such Buyer Users Data to you, then upon your reasonable request, we will provide you such Buyer Users Data. You may only use the Buyer Users Data to (a) fulfill a reward offered in connection with a Licensed NFT purchased by such Buyer User and/or (b) send Buyer Users information regarding your other projects and content. You may not disclose the Buyer Users Data to any third party or otherwise use the Buyer Users Data for any purpose other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.6. You are solely responsible for complying with all applicable laws and regulations in your storage, processing and use of the Buyer User Data.
2.7 Creator Services Changes. The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, tokens, and other crypto-based items is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect our performance of the Creator Services, and therefore we may from time to time, at our sole discretion, revise the manner in which we perform the Creator Services and/or amend the type of Creator Services we may provide.
