PIXELYNX SERVICES, VIRTUAL GOODS, NFTs AND CRYPTOCURRENCIES

Services. In addition to the Services described above, the Services may include virtual, in-application digital items (“Virtual Goods”), which Virtual Goods and related services may be purchased from us for “real world” money or for Virtual Currency (defined below). The Services may also include means for selling, purchasing, publishing to a blockchain, or “minting” non-fungible cryptographic tokens that represent unique pieces of media (each an “NFT”) using “real world” money or Virtual Currency (as specified in the Services), The Services may specifically include features for buying and selling NFTs on the Services, and developing projects that run on the Polygon, Ethereum and other blockchain protocols. Certain Services may include virtual in-application currency (“Virtual Currency”) including, but not limited to cash, chips, coins or points, that may be purchased from us for “real world” money only if you are a legal adult in your jurisdiction.

Digital Wallet. To access certain other features of the Services, you may be required to connect a supported digital cryptocurrency wallet (“Wallet”) to the Services. Depending on which Services you are using, you may be asked to create a username and optional profile. Once your Wallet account has been registered, you can add additional information to your profile. Your Wallet address, username (if applicable), and other information you voluntarily add to your profile may be publicly displayed on the Services when you connect your Wallet, and you consent to such public display. The terms and conditions of the applicable Wallet provider will apply to your use of such Wallet in connection with the Services. You are responsible for following all terms of use, technology, and security protocols pertaining to your use of any Wallet. Pixelynx does not and will not at any time have custody, possession, or control over the contents in your Wallet, including any NFTs or crypto assets therein. You accept that you are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your credentials, private key, seed phrase, and other information relating to the security of your Wallet, including. Pixelynx is not and will not be liable for any acts or omissions by you in connection with your Wallet being compromised or any authorized or unauthorized uses of your Wallet.

Supported Networks. Certain features of the Services may be accessed on the Polygon or Ethereum blockchains and certain other blockchain networks (each, a “Supported Network”). You accept that the applicable Supported Network’s terms and conditions will govern your use of the Services on each Supported Network. Before using the Services in connection with any Supported Network, you are responsible for reviewing and accepting the relevant Supported Network’s terms and conditions.

Bridging and Withdrawing Crypto Assets. A series of smart contracts typically govern the transfer crypto assets from one blockchain network to another. You will therefore be required to “bridge” the crypto assets held within your Wallet on the Polygon or Ethereum blockchain (or other Supported Network) to another Supported Network before you are able to use the Services via such other Supported Network. This process is known as “bridging” and the smart contracts that permit bridging are each known as a “bridge.” Crypto assets cannot be used in transactions on a Supported Network until such assets have been adequately bridged to such Supported Network. Likewise, crypto assets that have been bridged from a Supported Network must be “withdrawn” (this process is known as “withdrawing”) from such Supported Network before they can be used in transactions on the Ethereum blockchain. The crypto assets that you bridge to a Supported Network will no longer appear in your Wallet on the original blockchain and will instead appear in your Wallet on the Supported Network. You may destroy or irretrievably lose crypto access to assets if your attempts to bridge are not supported by a bridge designed for a Supported Network. All crypto assets held in and bridged via your Wallet are owned and controlled by you, and you are solely responsible for them. Pixelynx is not liable or responsible for any crypto assets that are destroyed or irretrievably lost by users through the bridging and withdrawing process.

Payments. The price to be paid by you is the price indicated on the applicable website for the Services or within the Services. When you purchase a license to use our Virtual Currency, or Virtual Goods, or purchase NFTs or a subscription to use the Services, you agree to pay the applicable taxes that we or our agent assesses on your purchase. If you reside in Europe, the price includes any applicable VAT. We reserve the right to amend the price and specifications shown. Where applicable, we will also state the period for which the relevant offer or price remains valid. If you decide not to complete a purchase, you should, if enabled by your device’s operating system, select “no” or close the window that requests your confirmation. Otherwise, to the extent the operating system, distributor and other factors permit, we may be able to provide you with a credit against your future purchases; we do not offer any returns or cancellations of purchases. You may only use the services of any billing and payment provider identified on the applicable website or in the applicable Application. Until the billing and payment provider has authorized the use of your credit card or other applicable method for payment, we will not supply any products or services to you. You will be bound by such third party provider’s terms and conditions when using the billing and payment provider’s services. You may be required to create an account with the billing and payment provider, and to provide that provider with your bank account or credit or debit card details. Costs, specifically data charges and related tariffs, associated with accessing and using the Services depends on your internet service provider and/or wireless carrier. Please refer to your provider’s terms and conditions for details.

Canceling the Services. If you purchase a subscription to the Services and you later decide to cancel it, you must (as applicable) do so within the Application or contact your Application distributor (for example, Apple App Store, Amazon and Google Play) for its cancellation policies. Your cancellation may not become effective for a certain period of time after your cancellation is communicated to them (i.e. may not be effective until the end of the then current subscription period) and is subject to the terms of service, terms of use or similar user agreement of your Application distributor or in the Application.

Virtual Currency and Virtual Goods. Our Virtual Currency has no monetary value and does not constitute currency or property of any type. Regardless of the terminology used, Virtual Currency and Virtual Goods may never be redeemed for “real world” money, goods or other items of monetary value from us or any other party. You acknowledge that your purchase of the Virtual Currency or Virtual Goods is final and is not refundable, exchangeable or transferable, in particular when we cease making the Services available, whether such action is taken at our sole discretion or due to unforeseen events. Virtual Currency may only be held by legal residents of countries where access to and use of the Services is permitted. A license to use Virtual Currency in our Services may be purchased or acquired only from us through means we provide on the applicable website(s) or applicable Services or as otherwise expressly authorized. We reserve the right to limit, refuse or block your request(s) to purchase and/or acquire a license to use Virtual Currency in our Services for whatever reason. Other than a limited, personal, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use the Virtual Goods or Virtual Currency in the Services, you do not own and have no right or title in or to any such Virtual Goods or Virtual Currency appearing in the Services, or any other attributes associated with the use of the Services or stored within the Services. Any Virtual Currency balance shown in your account does not constitute a “real world” balance or reflect any stored value, but rather indicates the extent of your limited license to use the Virtual Currency in the Services. We have the absolute right to manage, regulate, control, modify and/or eliminate such Virtual Currency and/or Virtual Goods as we see fit in our sole discretion, and we are not liable to you or any third party for the exercise of such rights. Prices and availability of Virtual Goods are subject to change without notice to you and we are not liable to you or any third party for the exercise of such rights. You agree that all sales of Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency are final. No refunds will be given, except in our sole and absolute discretion. If your account is terminated or suspended for any reason or if we discontinue providing the Services, all Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency will be forfeited at our sole and absolute discretion.

Creating NFTs. The Services may permit users the ability to generate and launch collections of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Supported Networks. Each NFT, once minted, is embodied as a cryptographic token with attributes particular to the relevant Supported Network. NFT cryptographic tokens on a Supported Network cannot be duplicated or replicated and can only be controlled by the individual possessing the private key associated with the network address of such NFT. The operability and compatibility of NFTs on distinct blockchain networks, including the Supported Networks, are contingent on the specific characteristics of each blockchain. Consequently, NFTs minted within a Supported Network may not be supported or bridgeable to alternative blockchain networks or other Supported Networks.

Fees for Creating. You assume all responsibility for the costs of operating Supported Networks during the creation of your NFTs. For instance, every transaction conducted on the Ethereum blockchain necessitates a fee to account for the computational resources utilized in executing the transaction (referred to as the "Gas Fee"). You will be responsible for paying all Gas Fees and similar fees associated with Supported Network activities required for minting an NFT. These fees are essential to sustain the operational integrity of the Supported Network.

Fees On Primary Sales/Mints. Pixelynx retains the right to charge a fee (referred to as the “Minting Fee”) for minting NFT collections using the Services (referred to as “Creator NFTs”). Pixelynx does not charge a fee for the minting of Third-Party NFTs (defined below). Parties other than Pixelynx involved in the minting process may be entitled to a share of the Minting Fee. The party engaging in minting may be either the creator or the initial purchaser of the NFT and by utilizing the Services to mint an NFT, you acknowledge and agree to pay the Minting Fee. Pixelynx reserves the right to display the Minting Fee, along with a breakdown of its distribution, to you prior to your confirmation of the decision to mint an NFT or make an initial purchase of an NFT.

Responsibility for Your NFTs. You bear sole responsibility for the NFTs you create or mint using the Services, including for acquiring all license rights to any third-party content incorporated into your NFTs, all rights related to privacy and publicity, and for any third-party claims of copyright infringement, trademark infringement, or other violations of intellectual property rights, privacy, or publicity stemming from your NFTs. You hereby agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Pixelynx and its officers, directors, employees, shareholders, creditors, lenders, legal representatives, advisors, insurers, predecessors, successors, affiliates, and assigns (collectively referred to as the "Pixelynx Parties"), harmless against any and all damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from the minting, sale, reproduction, distribution, public display, public performance, communication to the public, advertising, marketing, promoting, or any other form of use or exploitation of your NFTs.

Buying & Selling NFTs.The Services may include an online marketplace for buying and selling NFTs (the “Marketplace”). Users can explore, list, bid on, purchase, and sell NFTs on the Marketplace. While the Marketplace provides a framework to help effectuate NFT transactions, each transaction is directly between the buyer and seller of the applicable NFT.

NFT Purchase Terms. All additional terms relating to an NFT transaction are exclusively between the applicable buyer and seller of such NFT and such parties are responsible for reviewing and agreeing to such terms in advance of completing the transaction (collectively, the “NFT Purchase Terms”). NFT Purchase Terms terms may include intellectual property rights associated with the NFT (if any), additional benefits related to the NFT, and third-party terms such as limitations on commercial use of an NFT, prohibited associations for the NFT, and assignment of any intellectual property rights in and to the NFT. Third-party terms may be set by the original creator of the NFT. You acknowledge that the transfer of intellectual property rights embodied in an NFT is not implied by the sale of such NFT. NFT Purchase Terms are binding only between the buyer and the seller, and you acknowledge and agree that Pixelynx is not a party to any such NFT Purchase Terms. You are entirely responsible for communicating, agreeing to, adhering to, and enforcing NFT Purchase Terms. You hereby agree that Pixelynx will not be liable for any NFT Purchase Terms.

Fees for the Marketplace. You are responsible for paying all applicable fees identified in the Services, including but not limited to Gas Fees, associated with buying or selling NFTs on the Marketplace.

Disputes. You agree not to involve Pixelynx in any disputes you may have with any other users of the Services, and to resolve all such disputes directly with such other users. You are solely responsible for all decisions you make regarding NFTs offered via the Services. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold the Pixelynx Parties harmless from and against any and all damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any Pixelynx’ required participation in any disputes you may have with other users of the Services.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you agree to indemnify and hold Our Parties harmless for any improper or illegal use of your account, including the illegal or improper use of your account by someone to whom you have given permission to use. You agree that you will be personally responsible for your use of the Services and for all of your communication and activity on or through the Services, including any User Content you contribute, and that you will indemnify and hold harmless Our Parties from any liability or damages arising from your conduct on the Services, including any User Content that you contribute.

We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us and you agree to cooperate with our defense of these claims. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action, or proceeding upon becoming aware of it. You acknowledge and agree that the provisions in this Section shall survive any termination of your account(s), the Services or the Terms.

FEES AND PAYMENT All applicable fees, as described on the Services, in relation to the Services selected by you, shall be paid by you. Upon providing notice to you (which may be through email or posting on the Services), we reserve our rights to adjust our price list for the Services and to charge new fees at any time. Your use of the Services after such notification deemed your acceptance of such new or increased charges. Some of our Services are free to our users, and we reserve our rights to require payment of fees for certain or all parts of such Services.

THIRD PARTY SERVICES AND WEBSITES

The Services may contain links to third party services or websites that we do not own or control. When you access third party services or websites, you do so at your own risk. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, the content, accuracy, privacy policies, or practices of or opinions expressed in any such third party services or websites, and we will not and cannot monitor, verify, censor or edit the content of any third party services or websites. You hereby represent and warrant that, in addition to your obligations under the Terms, you have read and agreed to be bound by all applicable agreements and/or policies of any third party services or websites relating to your use of the Services and that you will act in accordance with them.

By using and accessing to the Services, you expressly release us and hold us harmless from any and all liability arising from your use of any third party services or websites. You are solely responsible for your dealings with organizations and/or individuals found on or through the Services, including delivery and payments of goods or Services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings. You hereby acknowledge that we shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage incurred as a result of any such dealings, and we have no obligation to be involved in any disputes between you and such third party. You further acknowledge that if you have a dispute with other users, you shall release us, our officers, directors, employees, agents, and successors in rights from damages (actual and consequential), claims and demands of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and/or our service. If you are a resident of the State of California, U.S.A., you shall and hereby do waive your rights in California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides that: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

TERMINATION The Terms shall remain effective while the Services are being used by you. Your use of the Services may be terminated at any time by uninstalling them from your computer and/or device. We may terminate or suspend your use or access to any and all Services immediately, without prior notice or liability, (i) if you breach any of the terms or conditions of the Terms; or (ii) for whatever reason or for no reason, which may result in the forfeiture and destruction of all information associated with your use of the Services. Any fees already paid by you hereunder are non-refundable. Upon termination of your account, you no long have the right to use or access to the Services. Any and all provisions or obligations contained in the Terms which by their nature or effect are required or intended to be observed or performed after termination of the Terms will survive its expiration or termination and remain binding upon and for the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

DISPUTE SETTLEMENT

If a dispute arises between you and us, we shall provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Therefore, both we and you agree that we will resolve any dispute, claim or controversy at law or equity that arises out of the Terms or the Services (a “Dispute”) in accordance with this Section or as we and you otherwise agree in writing.

The Terms and all aspects of the Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California (excluding principles relating to the conflict of laws) regardless of your location. With respect to any Disputes not subject to informal dispute resolution or arbitration (as set out below), you agree not to commence or prosecute any action in connection therewith other than in the state and federal courts located within Los Angeles County, California, and you hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to, venue and jurisdiction in such courts.

You acknowledge that the rights granted and obligations made hereunder to us are of a unique and irreplaceable nature, the loss of which will cause us irreparable harm and which cannot be readily remedied in monetary damages in an action at law. Accordingly, any breach or anticipatory breach by you shall entitle us, in addition to any claim or award for damages, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies (without the obligations of posting any bond or surety or proof of damages), costs, and reasonable attorney’s fees. You irrevocably waive all rights to seek injunctive or other equitable relief and agree to limit your claims to claims for monetary damages (if any).

To expedite resolution and control the cost of any Dispute, we and you agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided in Section 17.6) informally for at least thirty (30) calendar days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one party to the other. You will send your notice to Pixelynx, Inc., 15821 Ventura Blvd, Suite 370, Encino, CA, 91436 USA, Attention: Legal Counsel.

If we and you are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, either party may elect to have the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded in Section 17.6) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration under the American Arbitration Association’s Commercial Rules, which Commercial Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Section. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. The place of arbitration shall be in Los Angeles, California. The number of arbitrators shall be one. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. We and you shall be bound by the award rendered by the arbitrator and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final, and neither we nor you shall have any right of appeal.

We and you agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and arbitration:

  • any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of our or your intellectual property rights;
  • any Disputes relating to, or arising from, allegations of invasion of privacy, piracy, theft or unauthorised use; and
  • any claim for injunctive relief.

MISCELLANEOUS

We operate and control the Services from our offices in California. We make no representation that the Services are appropriate or available in other locations. The information provided through the Services is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be prohibited by law or regulation or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Services 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.

The Terms are effective until terminated by either party. You may terminate the Terms by destroying all Services-related materials obtained from the Services, us or any other website or source. The rights granted to you under the Terms will terminate immediately and automatically without notice from us if, in our sole discretion, you fail to comply with any term or provision of the Terms.

No failure on our part to exercise or to enforce any right given under the Terms or at law or any of our custom or practice at variance with the terms of the Terms will constitute a waiver of our rights under the Terms or operate so as to prevent the exercise or enforcement of any such right at any time. No right, power or remedy in the Terms conferred upon or reserved for us is exclusive of any other right, power or remedy available to us.

If any provision of the Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions will nevertheless continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way.

We may assign or delegate the Terms and/or our Privacy Policy, in whole or in part, to any person or entity at any time with or without your consent. You may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations under the Terms or Privacy Policy without our prior written consent, and any of your unauthorized assignment and delegation is void and ineffective.
