You represent, warrant and covenant to us that all information you submit to the Platform is complete and accurate. We may reject, or require you to change, any username, password or other information that you provide to us in registering or updating your registration.

Our Content:

Our trade names, trademarks, service marks, trade dress and other indicia of origin include APEPES, RARE APEPES, and the Rare Apepes logo (collectively, “Our Marks”). All trademarks and service marks on the Platform other than Our Marks are the property of their respective owners. You may not use Our Marks, whether registered or unregistered, on or in connection with any product or service in any manner that is likely to cause confusion. The information and materials made available through the Platform are and shall remain our property or that of our licensors and suppliers, and are protected by copyright, trademark, patent, or other proprietary rights and laws (such information and materials, including Our Marks, collectively “Our Content”). Subject to and conditioned on your compliance with this Agreement, and solely for so long as we permit you to access and use the Platform, you may view one copy of any of Our Content on any single computer or device solely for your personal, non-commercial use, provided that you keep intact all copyright, trademark, and other proprietary notices. Except as we expressly authorize in this Agreement or otherwise advance in writing, you shall not reproduce, modify, rent, lease, loan, sell, distribute, or create derivative works based upon (whether in whole or in part), all or any part of the Platform or any materials made available through the Platform (including Rare Labs Images). Nothing contained on the Platform grants or should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, any license or right to use any of Our Content without our express prior written consent.

Claims of Copyright Infringement:

If you believe that any materials on the Platform infringe your copyright, you may request that such materials be removed. This request must bear a signature (or electronic equivalent) of the copyright holder or an agent and must include the following: (a) identification of the copyrighted work that you believe to be infringed, including a description of the work and, where possible, a copy or the location of an authorized version of the work; (b) identification of the material that you believe to be infringing, including a description of the material, and its location on the Platform; (c) your name, address, telephone number and email address; (d) a statement that you have a good faith belief that the complained of use of the materials is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; (e) a statement that the information in your claim is accurate; and (f) a statement that under penalty of perjury, you declare that you are the lawful copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

To protect the rights of copyright owners, we reserve the right to suspend your account or other user privileges, delete or disable content alleged to be infringing, or terminate the account or other user privileges of a repeat infringer.

Image Storage:

We may store Rare Labs Images using our own servers or third-party platforms, such as the Interplanetary File System(“IPFS”). WE CAN’T AND DON’T GUARANTEE THAT ANY RARE LABS IMAGE WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE ON OUR SERVERS, IPFS, OR ANY OTHER PLATFORM, AND WE WILL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY, NOR WILL COLLECTORS OR PURCHASERS HAVE ANY REMEDY, IF ANY RARE LABS IMAGES BECOME UNAVAILABLE. We recommend that you download any Rare Labs Image or other content associated with your Rare Labs NFTs and other NFTs (provided that you have the right to do so) in case such content becomes unavailable on the Platform or otherwise.

Blockchain Forks:

Because virtually all public blockchains are licensed under open source licenses, it is possible that the blockchain may fork, merge, or duplicate the original blockchain on which your Rare Labs NFT was originally minted. In such case, any rights granted under this Agreement to Rare Labs Holders will extend only to Rare Labs NFT Holders according to the mainnet version of the blockchain that is generally recognized in the blockchain industry as the legitimate successor of the original blockchain, as we determine in our sole discretion.

Third-Party Payment Providers:

We may use third-party service providers to pay you or to enable you to pay us (such services, “Payment Services”). By submitting your account information for use in connection with Payment Services, you agree that: (a) we may store your information, and process your information with any such Payment Services; and (b) we aren’t responsible or liable for any failures of any such Payment Services to protect such information adequately. The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of such Payment Services, in addition to this Agreement. You acknowledge that we may change Payment Services and move your information to other third-party service providers from time to time. There may be fees associated with certain Payment Services, and you agree that you (and not we) will be responsible and liable for all such fees, including fees imposed on your transactions. You acknowledge and agree that we aren’t, and won’t be, responsible or liable for any Payment Service’s services, site, or acts, or omissions.

Links:

The Platform may provide links to other websites and online resources. Because we have no control over such sites and resources, you acknowledge and agree that we aren’t responsible for the availability of such external sites or resources, and we neither endorse nor are responsible or liable for any content, advertising, products or other materials on or available through such sites or resources. Other sites and services may provide links to the Platform with or without our authorization. We don’t endorse such sites or services, and aren’t and will not be responsible or liable for any links from those sites or services to the Platform, any content, advertising, products, or other materials available on or through such other sites or services, or any loss or damages incurred in connection therewith. YOU AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THIRD-PARTY SITES, SERVICES, AND RESOURCES, INCLUDING YOUR USE OF ANY CONTENT, INFORMATION, DATA, ADVERTISING, PRODUCTS, OR OTHER MATERIALS ON OR AVAILABLE THROUGH SUCH SITES, SERVICES, AND RESOURCES, IS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO SUCH SITES, SERVICES, AND RESOURCES. We have the right, at any time and in our sole discretion, to block links to the Platform or any content on the Platform through technological or other means without prior notice.

Communications:

We may communicate and transact with you electronically. We may provide you with notices by posting them to the Platform, by email, by postal mail, or by NFT airdrop, in our discretion, assuming we have your contact information. We may also provide notices of changes to this Agreement or other matters by displaying such notices on the Platform or by providing links to such notices on the Platform. You agree that a printed version of this Agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. We won’t be responsible for failures to fulfill any obligations due to causes beyond our control.

Local Laws:

While we have designed the Platform so that it may be used from virtually anywhere you can access the Internet, we can’t guarantee that the Platform is appropriate for use everywhere. It is your (and not our) obligation to ensure that your use of the Platform complies with applicable local laws.

Termination:

This Agreement between you and us is effective until terminated. We may, in our sole discretion, terminate this Agreement or terminate or suspend your access to or use of the Platform, in each case, in whole or in part and at any time and for any reason, including if we believe that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances will any such suspension or termination disable or interfere with your access to or ability to use your Rare Labs NFT or Rare Labs Image. Upon any such termination or suspension, your right to use the Platform will immediately cease. You agree that any termination of this Agreement or termination or suspension of your access to or use of the Platform may be effected without prior notice, and that we may immediately deactivate or delete your password and username, and any or all related information and files associated with it, or bar any further access to such information or files. You agree that we won’t be responsible or liable to you or any third party for any termination of this Agreement or termination or suspension of your access to the Platform or to any such information or files, and won’t be required to make such information or files available to you after any such termination or suspension. The termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not affect the accrued rights and obligations of the parties or those representations, warranties, or other obligations that by their nature survive expiration or termination, including Sections 1 (Certain Definitions), 8 (Feedback), 9 (Our Content), 15 (Communications) and 17 (Termination) through 23 (Miscellaneous).
