1 – ACCEPTING THESE TERMS

Please read these Terms of Service (the “Terms”), carefully, before using darkgoldart.com (the “Website”) provided by Dark Gold Art Pte. Ltd. (“Dark Gold Art”) and its affiliates, whether as a guest or registered user. The Website is a marketplace for users who want to create, buy, and sell NFTs. The Website provides a non-custodial interface that allows you to display your NFTs, as well as withdraw them to external wallets, or deposit NFTs from external wallets and display them on the Website.

Dark Gold Art is not a party to any agreement between buyers and sellers of NFTs or between users. The Website is not a wallet provider, exchange, broker, financial institution, or creditor. The Website offers a peer-to-peer web3 service that allows users to discover and interact with each other as well as NFTs available on public blockchains. We have no custody or control over the NFTs or blockchains with which you are interacting, and we do not execute or effect NFT purchases, transfers, or sales. To use our Service, you must use a third-party wallet that allows you to perform blockchain transactions.

You understand and acknowledge that smart contracts do not give Dark Gold Art custody, possession, or control of any NFT or cryptocurrency at any time for the purpose of facilitating transactions on the Website. You affirm that you are aware and acknowledge that Dark Gold Art is a non-custodial service provider and has designed this Website to be directly accessible by users without any involvement or actions taken by Dark Gold Art or any third-party. Dark Gold Art cannot make any representation or guarantee that users will achieve any particular outcome as the result of transacting with NFTs on the Website.

We operate and control the Website from our offices in Singapore. The Website is not intended for use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such use would be contrary to law or regulation. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Website from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.

All users who are minors in the jurisdiction in which they reside (generally under the age of 18) must have the permission of, and be directly supervised by, their parent or guardian to use the Website. If you are a minor, you must have your parent or guardian read and agree to these Terms prior to you using the Website.

By using or accessing the Website, you are deemed to have read, accepted, executed and agreed to be bound by all the terms and conditions of these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Cookies Policy, incorporated herein by reference. If any provision of these Terms or any future changes are unacceptable to you, do not use or continue to use the Website.

1.1 – CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

We may revise and update these Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Website thereafter. Any changes to these Terms will be in effect as of the “Last Revised” date referred to at the top of this page.

Your continued use of the Website after following the posting of the revised Terms means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page from time to time so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.

5 – YOUR ACCOUNT

In order to use the Services, you will need a blockchain address and a third-party wallet. Your blockchain address serves as your identity on the Website. Your account on the service (“Account”) will be associated with your blockchain address; however, if you want to, you may add additional information to your Account, such as a profile picture.

Your Account on the Website will be associated with your linked blockchain address and display the NFTs for that blockchain address (and, if applicable, any content associated with such NFTs). By using your wallet in connection with the Services, you agree that you are using that wallet under the terms and conditions of the applicable provider of the wallet. Wallets are not operated by, maintained by, or affiliated with Dark Gold Art, and Dark Gold Art does not have custody or control over the contents of your wallet and has no ability to retrieve or transfer its contents. Dark Gold Art accepts no responsibility for, or liability to you, in connection with your use of a wallet and makes no representations or warranties regarding how the Services will operate with any specific wallet. If you discover an issue related to your wallet, please contact your wallet provider.

You understand and agree that you are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your Account and control over any usernames, passwords, or any other codes that you use to access the Services. You are solely responsible for keeping your wallet secure and you should never share your wallet credentials or seed phrase with anyone. Any unauthorized access to your Account by third parties could result in the loss or theft of NFTs in your Account and any associated wallet. You understand and agree that you will not hold us responsible for managing and maintaining the security of your Account. You further understand and agree that we are not responsible (and you will not hold us responsible) for any unauthorized access to or use of your Account. You are responsible for monitoring your Account. If you notice any unauthorized or suspicious activity in your Account, please notify us immediately.

Likewise, you are solely responsible for your Account and any associated wallet, and we are not liable for any acts or omissions by you in connection with your Account or as a result of your Account or wallet being compromised. You understand and agree that access to your Account is limited solely to you. You agree that you will not sell, rent, lease, or grant access to your Account to any person without our prior written permission. Your account is your sole responsibility, and any claims that someone else used your account to violate these Terms or change your settings will be dismissed.

Dark Gold Art can require you to provide additional information and documents in certain circumstances, such as at the request of any government authority, as any applicable law or regulation dictates, or to investigate a potential violation of these Terms. In such cases, Dark Gold Art, in its sole discretion, can disable your Account and block your ability to access the Services until such additional information and documents are processed by Dark Gold Art. If you do not provide complete and accurate information in response to such a request, Dark Gold Art can refuse to restore your access to the Service. We reserve the right to cancel your account, without notice, for any reason, at any time.

You warrant that any User Content complies with these Terms, and you will be liable to us and indemnify us if that warranty is breached. This means that you will be liable for any loss or damage we sustain as a result of your breach of warranty.

7.3 – NFT PURCHASE LICENSE

If you sell an NFT through the Website, you grant to the buyer of the NFT a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use, copy, and display the NFT, solely for the following purposes: (a) for the buyer’s own personal use; (b) for the purpose of promoting or sharing the buyer’s purchase, ownership, or interest; (c) for the purpose of sharing, promoting, discussing, or commenting on the content to which the NFT is associated; (d) on third party marketplaces, exchanges, platforms, or applications in association with an offer to sell, or trade, the NFT; and (e) within decentralized virtual environments, virtual worlds, virtual galleries, virtual museums, or other navigable and perceivable virtual environments (the “NFT Purchase License”).

If you are a buyer of NFTs, then you acknowledge and agree that the NFT Purchase License set forth above only lasts as long as you are the valid owner and holder of the NFT. You further understand that you have the ability to possess and control the disposition of the NFT (i.e., the token on the blockchain) itself, rather than the acquisition of any intellectual property right in, or license to, any content to which the NFT is associated. If you sell or transfer the NFT to another person, this NFT Purchase License will transfer to such other owner or holder of the NFT, and you will no longer have the benefits of such NFT Purchase License. Unless otherwise specified by seller of an NFT in writing, your purchase of an NFT does not give you the right to publicly display, perform, distribute, sell or otherwise reproduce the NFT for any commercial purpose. If you sell an NFT, you agree that you will not have any claims against Company for any breach of these Terms by a purchaser, including if they make commercial use of the related NFT in breach of these Terms.

You further acknowledge that NFTs may be subject to terms directly between buyers and sellers with respect to the use of the NFT content and benefits associated with a given NFT (“Purchase Terms”) and that such terms may be accessible via a third-party link to an external website. Such a website may include Purchase Terms governing the use of the NFT with which you must comply. You are solely responsible for reviewing such Purchase Terms. Dark Gold Art is not a party to any such Purchase Terms, which are solely between the buyer and seller, who are entirely responsible for communicating, promulgating, agreeing to, and enforcing such Purchase Terms.

15 – ASSUMPTION OF RISK

You understand and agree that you access and use the Website at your own risk. You should carefully consider whether creating, buying, or selling NFTs is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources. You represent that you have sufficient knowledge, market sophistication, professional advice, and experience to make your own evaluation of the merits and risks of any transaction conducted via the Website and that you have done sufficient research before making any decisions to sell, obtain, transfer, or otherwise interact with any NFTs or accounts/collections.

By using the Website, you understand and agree that your access and use of the Website is subject to certain risks including without limitation:

Price, liquidity, and scarcity of blockchain assets, including NFTs, are extremely volatile and may be subject to fluctuations;
Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect NFTs;
Legislative and regulatory changes or actions may adversely affect the use, transfer, and value of NFTs. The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, NFTs, cryptocurrency, and other crypto-based items is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the Website and the utility of NFTs;
NFTs are not legal tender and are not backed by any government;
Transactions involving NFTs may be irreversible, and losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable;
A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development of those ecosystems and related applications, and could therefore also negatively impact the potential utility of NFTs;
The value of NFTs may be derived from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange fiat currency or digital assets for NFTs, and therefore the value of NFTs is subject to the potential for permanent or total loss of value should the market for NFTs disappear;
NFTs are subject to the risk of fraud, counterfeiting, cyber-attacks, risks that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to your third-party wallet or Account, and other technological difficulties which may prevent access to or use of your NFTs;
Withdrawal of an NFT to a decentralized digital asset wallet is at your own risk, and the transfer for any NFT to an incorrect digital asset wallet address will result in the irreversible loss of such NFT;
Experimental cryptographic technologies and blockchain technologies are used by the Website, and such technologies are novel, experimental, and speculative, and there is significant uncertainty regarding the operation and effects and risks thereof;
The Website uses public peer-to-peer networks, public blockchains, and certain smart contracts and protocols that are not under the control or influence of Dark Gold Art or any of its affiliates and are subject to many risks and uncertainties;
Costs and speeds of transacting with cryptographic and blockchain-based systems are variable and may increase or decrease dramatically at any time, resulting in prolonged inability to access or use any NFTs associated with the Website;
Risks associated with purchasing items associated with content created by third parties through peer-to-peer transactions, including but not limited to, the seller’s unknown identity, the seller’s right to sell the NFT, the seller’s right to use the Intellectual Property in the underlying content associated with the NFT, the risk of purchasing counterfeit items, mislabeled items, items vulnerable to metadata decay, items on smart contracts with bugs, and items that may become untransferable.

You understand and agree that the nature, potential value, suitability, and appropriateness of these risks are solely your responsibility. This warning and others provided in these Terms do not constitute or imply an ongoing obligation to alert you to all of the potential risks of using or accessing the Website, and acknowledge that this brief statement does not disclose all of the risks associated with the Website, NFTs, and other digital assets.

YOU RELEASE US AND THE DARK GOLD ART PARTIES FROM CLAIMS, DEMANDS, AND DAMAGES OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH SUCH DISPUTES. IN ENTERING INTO THIS RELEASE YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY PROTECTIONS (WHETHER STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE) THAT WOULD OTHERWISE LIMIT THE COVERAGE OF THIS RELEASE TO INCLUDE THOSE CLAIMS WHICH YOU MAY KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN YOUR FAVOR AT THE TIME OF AGREEING TO THIS RELEASE.
