Terms and Conditions

Last Updated: 4 May 2021

These Terms of Use constitute a legally binding agreement made between the user (“you”), whether personally or on behalf of an entity, and Pixlton (The Company”;“we") concerning your access to and use of the https://www.pixltonnft.com website and the smart-contract based Pixlton application (“App” or “Application”) as well as any other media form, media channel, mobile website or mobile application, smart contracts related, linked, or otherwise connected thereto (the “website”, Site” and the “App”).

Pixlton is a digital art collectible built on top of the Ethereum network. The collection consists of 5471 unique digital portraits (the “Pixlton” or “Art”) that are represented by a non-fungible token (“NFT”) each. The Pixlton smart contract allows participants to purchase the NFT representing the digital art from. The Company does not provide or intend to provide a secondary market place for the NFT. Pixlton will provide a user interface to visualize the digital art works. After the sale of an NFT to you, the ownership of the NFT, and to the connected Art, is transferred from the Ethereum smart contract to the purchaser and concludes the business transaction between both parties.

The Company is selling the Art via the NFT and is making the Application available to you. Before you purchase an NFT and use the UI and the Ethereum smart contracts, however, you will need to agree to these Terms of Use and any terms and conditions incorporated herein by reference (collectively, these "Terms").

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE MAKING A PURCHASE OF AN NFT AND/OR USING THE APP. THESE TERMS GOVERN YOUR PURCHASE of NFT AND USE OF THE APPLICATION, UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS EXECUTED A SEPARATE WRITTEN AGREEMENT WITH YOU FOR THAT PURPOSE. THE COMPANY IS ONLY WILLING TO MAKE THE NFT AND THE APP AVAILABLE TO YOU IF YOU ACCEPT ALL OF THESE TERMS. BY USING THE APPLICATION, OR ANY PART OF THEM, OR BY CLICKING “I ACCEPT” BELOW OR INDICATING YOUR ACCEPTANCE IN AN ADJOINING BOX, YOU ARE CONFIRMING THAT YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THESE TERMS. IF YOU ARE ACCEPTING THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO ACCEPT THESE TERMS ON THAT ENTITY'S BEHALF, IN WHICH CASE “YOU” WILL MEAN THAT ENTITY. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, OR IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT ALL OF THESE TERMS, THEN WE ARE UNWILLING TO MAKE THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, OR THE SITE AVAILABLE TO YOU. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, OR THE SITE.

1. THE PIXLTON APP

A. The Pixlton App is a collection of 5471 unique digital portraits (stored in .gif format on IFPS), each represented by a NFT.

B. The Pixlton NFTs are sold during an initial sales period of up to 10 days on the website (https://www.pixltonnft.com). All unsold Pixlton during the initial sales period will remain purchasable after the initial sales period has concluded as the sale is encoded in the smart contract. The Company does not provide any additional services to the user after the business transaction is concluded.

C. You can access the App via any web browser using the URL https://www.pixltonnft.com and an electronic Ethereum wallet compatible with the NFT standard on the Ethereum network, such as the MetaMask wallet. You will not be able to engage in any transactions on the App other than through MetaMask, or other Ethereum-compatible browsers.

D. Transactions on the App are managed and confirmed via the Ethereum blockchain. We neither own nor control MetaMask, Google Chrome, the Ethereum network, or any other third-party site, product, or service that you might access, visit, or use for the purpose of enabling you to use the various features of the App. We will not be liable for the acts or omissions of any such third parties, nor will we be liable for any damage that you may suffer as a result of your transactions or any other interaction with any such third parties.

E. You are responsible for your MetaMask wallet (and other Ethereum wallets) and the private key to access it.

F. The Pixlton are digital artworks and serve no purpose other than that of an artwork.

2. PAYMENT

A. If you decide to purchase a Pixlton digital art portrait from the contract, any financial transactions will be conducted solely through the Ethereum network. We have no control over these payments or transactions, nor do we have the ability to reverse any transactions. With that in mind, the company will have no liability to you or to any third party for any claims or damages that may arise as a result of any transactions that you engage in via the App, or using the Smart Contracts, or any other transactions that you conduct via the Ethereum network.

B. Ethereum requires the payment of a transaction fee (a “Gas Fee”) for every transaction that occurs on the Ethereum network. The Gas Fee funds the network of computers that run the decentralized Ethereum network. This means that you will need to pay a Gas Fee for each transaction that occurs via the App. The Gas Fee does not go to us and we have no control over its pricing.

D. All paid prices exclude any possible duties or charges. You will be solely responsible to pay any and all sales, use, value-added and other taxes, duties, and assessments (except taxes on our net income) now or hereafter claimed or imposed by any governmental authority (collectively, “Taxes”) associated with your use of the App (including, without limitation, any Taxes that may become payable as the result of your ownership of a Pixl. Except for income and net-wealth taxes levied on The Company , you: (i) will pay or reimburse us for all national, federal, state, local or other taxes and assessments of any jurisdiction, including value added taxes and taxes as required by international tax treaties, customs or other import or export taxes, and amounts levied in lieu thereof based on charges set, services performed or payments made hereunder, as are now or hereafter may be imposed under the authority of any national, state, local or any other taxing jurisdiction; and (ii) shall not be entitled to deduct the amount of any such taxes, duties or assessments from payments made to us pursuant to these Terms. You confirm that you are not a resident in Switzerland or the United States nor are you registered for Goods and services tax in Switzerland or the United States.

3. OWNERSHIP AND RESTRICTIONS

A. Ownership

i. You Own the NFT. Each Pixl is a NFT on the Ethereum blockchain. When you purchase a NFT, you own the underlying Pixl, the Art, completely.

iii. Commercial Use. Subject to your continued compliance with these Terms, The Company grants you an unlimited, worldwide, exclusive, license to use, copy, and display the purchased Art for the purpose of creating derivative works based upon the Art (“Commercial Use”).

5. ASSUMPTION OF RISK

You accept and acknowledge each of the following:

A. There are risks associated with using cryptocurrencies, including, but not limited to, the risk of hardware, software and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information stored within your wallet. You accept and acknowledge that The Company will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using the Ethereum network, however caused.

We cannot guarantee that any purchasers of Pixlton will not lose money.

F. The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the Pixlton ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of Pixlton.

G. Upgrades by Ethereum to the Ethereum platform, a hard fork in the Ethereum platform, or a change in how transactions are confirmed on the Ethereum platform may have unintended, adverse effects on all blockchains using the ERC-721 standard, including the Pixlton ecosystem.
