NFT Ownership Terms Each Petaverse NFT is an NFT on the Ethereum blockchain. Petaverse produces “Family Friendly” content and requires that it remain that way. When you purchase an Petaverse NFT, you will receive exclusive, worldwide ownership of the NFT subject to the following limitations: NFTs purchased through the Site may not be used or otherwise incorporated into animations, content of any form, marketing materials, or other derivative works that include content Petaverse considers to be controversial or problematic; such as alcohol, tobacco or drug use, firearms, illegal markets, pornography, or political campaigns. NFTs cannot be wrapped, imported or altered to a mirroring derivative projects and sold on Ethereum or a different Blockchain. NFTs purchased or otherwise accessed on the Site may not be replicated and sold as a different asset. Derivative works, including but not limited to animated stories, made using NFTs purchased on the Site are exclusively owned by the purchaser, subject to these terms. However, Petaverse shall retain full ownership of all derivative works, including but not limited to animated stories, made using Petaverse’s hero images, characters and templates that are open to the public. Ownership disputes are governed by the Smart Contract and The Ethereum Network; we cannot rescind, reverse, or terminate any transactions, nor can we seize Petaverse NFTs in an effort to amend ownership. But we do reserve the right to prosecute you and any associated platform or party for any negative or disparaging infringement of the Petaverse NFT’s stated purpose of producing “Family Friendly” content subject to the limitations stated above.

You understand, acknowledge, and agree that exports, re-exports and in-country transfers of any Petaverse NFT, or related products or services (individually, an “Item” and, collectively, the “Items”) are subject to U.S. export, import, customs, anti-boycott, and economic sanctions laws, regulations, rules, and orders (each, a “Trade Control Law”). You shall not export, re-export, or otherwise transfer or provide any Item in contravention of any Trade Control Law, including to anyone (a) in Cuba, Crimea, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, or Syria, or in any other embargoed destination, or (b) listed on, or owned or controlled by anyone on, a sanctioned party list published by the U.S. Departments of Commerce or Treasury, including the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (a “Sanctioned Party”). You certify that you are not a Sanctioned Party or located in or a resident of any embargoed destination. In addition to any other remedy that Petaverse may have, Petaverse may suspend and/or cancel the provision of any Item if Petaverse believes, in its discretion, that such activity may violate any Trade Control Law or Petaverse’s own compliance policies. Data Retention Petaverse may retain your information for (1) as long as it believes necessary; (2) as long as necessary to comply with its legal obligations, resolve disputes, and/or enforce agreements; or (3) as long as needed to provide its users with services. Petaverse may dispose of or delete any such information at any time, except as set forth in any other agreement or document executed by Petaverse or as required by law. Please see the Privacy Policy for additional information about how your data will be handled by Petaverse. Transactions In connection with any transaction you conduct through the Site, users of the Site may be asked to supply certain information relevant to the transaction, including without limitation, wallet addresses, credit card numbers and expiration dates, billing addresses, shipping addresses, phone numbers, or email addresses. By submitting such information, users grant Petaverse without charge the irrevocable, unencumbered, universal, and perpetual right to provide such information to third parties for the purpose of facilitating the transaction. Tax Calculations You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your Petaverse NFT-related transactions. We are not responsible for determining the taxes that apply to your transactions on the Platform or other Petaverse NFT-related transactions. Regulatory Uncertainty The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies and tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the Platform ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of your Petaverse NFTs. You accept and acknowledge that we will not be responsible for the risk of changes to the regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and tokens and new regulations, unfavorable regulatory intervention in one or more jurisdictions or policies any of which may materially adversely affect the use and value of the Petaverse NFTs. Use of Blockchain Petaverse does not store, send, or receive Petaverse NFTs. This is because Petaverse NFTs exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on Petaverse NFT supporting blockchain in the Ethereum blockchain network. Any transfer of Petaverse NFTs occurs within the supporting blockchain in the Network, and not on the Site. We do not make any promises or guarantees about the availability of Petaverse NFTs or that it will host your or any other Petaverse NFTs at any specific location and/or for any specific period of time. Upgrades to the Ethereum blockchain, a hard fork or other change to the Ethereum blockchain, a failure or cessation of the Ethereum blockchain or its underlying cryptocurrency, or a change in how transactions are confirmed on the Ethereum blockchain may have unintended, adverse effects on all blockchains using those or similar technologies, including the Petaverse NFTs. Petaverse does not make any promises or guarantees related to the Ethereum Foundation, the Ethereum blockchain, or any other third parties related to the Petaverse NFTs or the Site (including any of their respective applications and/or services, as well as to the continued availability of or the protection or storage of any data you provide to those parties). You accept and acknowledge that Petaverse will not be responsible for any loss of access to your Petaverse NFTs due to loss of your private key(s), custodial error or purchaser error, mining attacks, hacking, security weaknesses, fraud, counterfeiting, cyberattacks and other technological difficulties. Jurisdictional Issues These Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, and Petaverse’s collection, use, and disclosure of information are governed by United States law. Waiver No delay or omission by Petaverse to exercise any right or power it has under these Terms or to object to the failure of any covenant of you to be performed in a timely and complete manner, shall impair any such right or power or be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach or any other covenant. Any waivers by Petaverse must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Petaverse. Miscellaneous Petaverse strives to use reasonable physical, technical, and administrative measures to protect information under its control. However, you as a user of the Site are responsible for keeping your account passwords and login information secure and confidential, and you are responsible for any all use of the Site. As a User of the Site, you may choose to not provide us with certain information, but this may limit the features or services you will be able to use, or it may prevent you from using the Site all together. Petaverse may supplement, amend, or otherwise modify these Terms at any time. When we make changes, we will revise the “last modified” date at the bottom of this document. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically. Entire Agreement These Terms and any other agreements Petaverse may post on the Site or that you and Petaverse may execute from time to time constitute the entire agreement between Petaverse and you in connection with your use of the Site or any products or services connected with the site and supersede any prior agreements between Petaverse and you regarding use of the Site or any products or services connected with the site, including prior versions of these Terms. Governing Law and Forum Choice. These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act, federal arbitration law, and the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 14 "Dispute Resolution” the exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes (defined below) that you and Petaverse are not required to arbitrate will be the state and federal courts located in the State of California, and you and Petaverse each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration (a) Informal Resolution of Disputes. You and Petaverse must first attempt to resolve any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services (collectively, "Disputes") informally. Accordingly, neither you nor Petaverse may start a formal arbitration proceeding for at least sixty (60) days after one party notifies the other party of a claim in writing. As part of this informal resolution process, you must deliver your written notices via first class mail to us at Petaverse. (b) Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each agree that any Dispute will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding. You and Petaverse agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and that you and Petaverse are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms. (c) Exceptions. As limited exceptions to Section 23(b) above: (i) we both may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights. (d) Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1(800) 778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org. Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you live unless we both agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, and scope of this arbitration agreement. (e) Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, and we will not seek to recover the administration and arbitrator fees we are responsible for paying, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration, we will pay all of our attorney’s fees and costs and will not 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. (f) Injunctive and Declaratory Relief. Except as provided in Section 14(c) above, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by either party and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. To the extent that you or we prevail on a claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration. (g) Class Action Waiver. YOU AND Petaverse AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties' Dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person's claims with your claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void. (h) Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section14(g) of these Terms ("Class Action Waiver"), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply. Changes to this Agreement When we make changes, we will revise the “last modified” date at the bottom of this document. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically. Your continued use of Petaverse constitutes your agreement to the changed Terms.
