2. Services

The Service Providers, upon your request and assent to certain conditions as provided by this Site, may provide certain services to you that may materially alter the appearance of one or more of your Licensed NFTs. (“Alteration Services” or “Services”).

Specifically, the Service Providers may provide you Services that will swap similar components between two separate Licensed NFTs (“Swap”). A Swap requires you to select both Licensed NFTs that you wish to make a Swap for, and your provision of the two NFTs requires you to temporarily provide full access to the Licensed NFTs to the Service Providers. The Service Providers will perform the Swap on your behalf through an alteration of the underlying metadata and associated art assets. A Swap may temporarily replace both Licensed NFTs with placeholder art and metadata while new assets are being generated. The Service Providers will then provide you with the serviced Licensed NFTs (“Serviced NFTs”).

You acknowledge and agree that any changes to your Licensed NFTs derived due to our Services should be assumed to be permanent and irreversible. You agree that the Service Providers do not provide any representations or warranties as to the quality of the Services. You agree that you are providing your Licensed NFTs for the Alteration Services at your own risk and will not hold the Service Providers liable for any issues that may occur with your Licensed NFTs, including, but not limited to, devaluation of your Licensed NFTs, material alteration of your Licensed NFTs, or loss of your Licensed NFTs.

You understand and acknowledge that the Service Providers are under no obligation to provide you with the Services. All provision of any Services to you or any other user is subject to the Service Provider’s discretion. Past provision of the Services does not guarantee that the Service Providers will continue to provide the Services in the future. Under no condition or circumstance will you be allowed to make such changes or perform similar services to the Services on your own or with a third party.

3. Ownership

Unless otherwise stated, the Service Providers own the intellectual property rights published on this Website, including all text, data, graphics, photographs, images, audio, video, trademarks, service marks, trade names and other information, visual or other digital material, software (including source and object codes) and all other content or any description available on the Site or available via a link from the Site to a page created by us (collectively, “Site Content”).

You acknowledge and agree that the Artists own all legal rights, title, and interest in the Art associated with all Licensed NFTs, any changes resulting from the provision of the Services, and all intellectual property rights thereof, including but not limited to, all trademarks, copyright, and personality rights therein. Any rights provided to you upon purchase or assumed ownership of Licensed NFTs are limited to those expressly stated with the terms and conditions that accompany those Licensed NFTs. The Artists reserve all rights and ownership to all the Licensed NFTs, including the underlying Art.

The use of the Services may result in the User acquiring and losing certain intellectual property rights. If, for example, the User has a license to the underlying art of their Licensed NFTs, then the User will gain and lose the rights to use the visual elements of the Licensed NFT that were respectively gained and lost through the provision of the Services.

4. Rules of Conduct

As a condition of use and access to the Services, we expect that you will not inappropriately use the Services for any purpose that is prohibited by these Terms, the terms and conditions of the underlying Licensed NFTs, or any applicable laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, intentionally or unintentionally damaging, offending, or injuring another. You are responsible for all of your activity in connection with the Services. You agree that you shall not use the Services to engage in activity, intentionally or unintentionally, that would result in you depriving others of their realized value of Licensed NFTs.

You shall not, and shall not permit any third party to, use the Services in a fraudulent, misrepresentative, or deceptive manner. By way of example, without limitation, you agree that you shall not sell the newly serviced Licensed NFT to another if a buyer possesses an understanding that your Licensed NFT has not been serviced and retains the characteristics and traits which were present prior to the Licensed NFT receiving services. This limitation requires that you are not to accept offers that were made on the Licensed NFT before becoming a Serviced NFT and to follow all other guidelines required by the Site to make use of the Services as the Service Providers may decide upon from time to time in their sole discretion.

Prior to requesting any of the Servies, you agree that you are required to decline any and all pending bids, offers to sell, or other requests to buy your Licensed NFT(s) that are intended to be serviced. You acknowledge that your request for the Services is contingent upon you following these requirements. You further acknowledge and agree that using the Services to modify a Licensed NFT to intentionally misrepresent your NFT could be considered misrepresentation or fraud. It is your responsibility to comply with all applicable laws and regulations when using the Services.

Your failure to adhere to these Terms can and will result in your loss of ability to use the Services, use the Site, rights in your Licensed NFTs, and potential referrals to NFT Trading Platforms, regulatory bodies, and law enforcement as may be applicable and appropriate.

5. Fees and Payment

We reserve the right to require payment of fees for the Service at any time, without regard for whether or not we required payment previously. Should you elect to use any such feature, then you shall pay all applicable fees as described on this Site.
