Terms of Service

 Last updated: August 30, 2022

 Welcome to MusicFX.io, which is provided by MetaWorks Platforms, Inc. (“MetaWorks Platforms”, “we”, “our” or “us”).

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern the relationship, and form a legally binding agreement, between you and us and set forth the terms and conditions on which you may access and use ‎(a) the website operated at musicfx.io, and other locations from time to time‎ (the “Website”), (b) any ‎applications or other software we provide you (the “Application”), excluding third party software that may ‎interact with the Service as defined below, and (c) the services we provide through the Website and the ‎Application, including any offering in respect of Collectibles (as this term is defined herein) (Website, Application, and Collectibles shall be collectively referred to as the “Service”)‎. Any reference to the “Services” includes a reference to any part of the Services.

For purposes of these Terms, “you” and “your” means you as the user of the Services. If you are agreeing to these Terms and using the Service on behalf of a corporation, ‎partnership, or other legal entity, you represent that you have all required legal rights and ‎authority to bind that entity to these terms. In such a case, any further reference to “you” in ‎these terms means that other legal entity.

The Service enables you to purchase, collect, showcase, and possibly sell digital collectibles (“Collectibles”) which are ‎created by us or our business partners (each a “Seller”).  Each Collectible is a non-fungible token (“NFT”) minted on a MetaWorks Platforms Blockchain (the “blockchain”) and tied to content hosted on the Service as well as a license to ‎use such content as represented by the Collectible in certain ways. Certain collectibles may also provide additional benefits as described in the terms of sale. Sales are subject to the creation of any secondary marketplace, which we cannot guarantee will exist.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY, as they contain important information ‎regarding your ‎legal rights, remedies and obligations, including, but not limited to, ‎various limitations and ‎exclusions on damages you may claim against us and indemnification obligations you owe to ‎us.‎ If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Services. By clicking “I agree to the Terms of Service”, or by using or accessing the Services, you ‎represent that you understand, accept, and agree to be bound by and comply with these Terms ‎and our Privacy Policy, available here musicfx.io/privacypolicy, which forms an essential part of these Terms.

PLEASE NOTE THAT DIFFERENT TERMS MAY APPLY TO YOU BASED ON WHERE YOU LIVE. MAKE ‎SURE YOU ‎READ THE JURISDICTION-SPECIFIC TERMS FOR YOUR COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE, AS APPLICABLE.‎ These specific terms concern important aspects of our agreement, including how you consent to these Terms, your consumer cancellation rights, your privacy, our rights to terminate your account or access to the Services, our warranties and liability, and the law applicable to these Terms.

ARBITRATION NOTICE FOR USERS IN THE UNITED STATES: THESE TERMS CONTAIN AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND A WAIVER OF RIGHTS TO BRING A CLASS ACTION AGAINST US. EXCEPT FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DISPUTES MENTIONED IN THAT ARBITRATION CLAUSE, YOU AND META WORKS PLATFORMS AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN US WILL BE RESOLVED BY MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION, AND YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, OR ANY OTHER COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

1. Age and Acceptance of Terms.

Access to certain Services or features of the Services may be subject to age restrictions and not available to all users of the Services. The Services are only for users 18 years of age and older. By accessing or using our Services, you confirm that: (a) you are over 18 and can form a binding contract with us; (b) you accept these Terms; and (c) you agree to comply with these Terms. If you are over 18 but under the legal age to enter into a contract in your jurisdiction, your parents or legal guardian must read and agree to these Terms, as well as supervise your use of the Services. If you do not have consent from your parents or legal guardians, you must cease accessing or using the Services. If we learn that someone under the relevant age is using the Services, we will terminate access to the Services for such user.

You understand and agree that we will treat your access or use of the Services or any part thereof, including your creation of an account, as acceptance of the Terms and the Privacy Policy. You should print off or save a local copy of the Terms for your records.

2. Supplemental Terms for Specific Jurisdictions

If you access or use the Services from within a jurisdiction for which there are separate supplemental terms, you also agree to the supplemental terms applicable to you in the applicable jurisdiction as outlined below. If there is a conflict between the provisions of the supplemental terms that are applicable to you, and the rest of these Terms, your jurisdictions’ supplemental terms will supersede and control.

3. Changes to the Terms

We reserve the right in our sole and absolute discretion to revise and update these Terms from time to time. ‎All changes are effective immediately upon posting and apply to your continued access to and use of the ‎Services. We may post reminders and summary information about material changes to these Terms, including ‎where there are substantial amendments that affect your rights and obligations, but it is your responsibility to ‎review them. You agree to periodically review these Terms in order to be aware of any such changes and your ‎continued use shall mean your acceptance of any such changes, whether given notice or not. ‎

You agree that we will not be liable if, for any reason, all or any part of the Service or these Terms is changed, withdrawn, ‎terminated, restricted to users, or unavailable at any time or for any period or if such restriction or unavailability ‎impacts the use, functionality, or value of Collectibles.‎

For clarity, if any of the terms and conditions described in these Terms, or any future modifications thereto, are ‎unacceptable to you, you should: (i) discontinue your use of the Services; and (ii) if you ‎have set up an account, delete your account from your account management page.  Your use of the Services now, or your continued use of the Services following the implementation of updated ‎Terms, will indicate acceptance by you of such Terms or modifications. If you do not agree to the Terms as applicable from time to time, you must stop accessing or using the Services.

4. Your Account and Security

In consideration of your use of the Services, you hereby agree to: (a) provide true, ‎accurate, current ‎and complete information about yourself as requested by any registration forms on the Service ‎‎‎(“Registration Data”); and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, ‎accurate, ‎current and complete. By providing Registration Data to us through the Services, you will ‎provide personal account information. You hereby agree to be fully responsible ‎for: (w) all use of your User ‎Account; (x) any action that takes place using your account by any ‎person or automated process; (y) ‎maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account ‎and passwords; and (z) immediately notifying ‎us upon any unauthorized use of your password or ‎account, or if you know of any other breach of security in relation to the Services. You are responsible for any password misuse or any unauthorized access. You agree that your disclosure of login ‎information to third parties may negate our user authentication measures and allow unauthorized access to your ‎account. We will not be liable for any loss or ‎damage arising from any unauthorized use of your ‎account(s).‎

We have provided ways for you to contact us about various issues on our website at privacy@musicfx.io. You acknowledge and understand that these are the only authorized ways ‎to contact us. Third parties may advertise or publish alternative ways to contact us or use other measures to ‎pose as us. We cannot verify the authenticity of any such alternative contacts, and they pose a risk of ‎fraud and other malfeasance, so we strongly recommend you do not attempt to contact us using these ‎methods. You agree that we cannot be held liable for unauthorized access to your account or other loss ‎resulting from such fraud or other malfeasance by third parties.‎

5. Purchasing Collectible and Conducting Transactions on the Service
6. Payment Information and Your Wallet: You will need to use your MusicFX wallet in order to purchase and store Collectibles via the Service. You can use your electronic wallet to purchase and store Collectibles and to engage in transactions using your credit card, or via one or more cryptocurrencies that we may elect to accept from time to time. Transactions that take place on the Service are managed and confirmed via the MetaWorks Platforms Blockchain network. You must provide and at all times must maintain accurate, complete, and current billing ‎information, including your postal/zip code, credit card number, and credit ‎card expiration date.  We may suspend or terminate your account ‎and access to the Services if your offered payment method (e.g., credit ‎card) cannot be processed. In addition, orders may not be accepted from certain jurisdictions. By providing a payment method, you expressly authorize us and ‎our third-party payment processors to charge the applicable fees on said payment method, as well ‎as taxes and other charges related thereto, all of which depend on the Services you utilize. You agree that we may charge any unpaid amounts to your provided ‎payment method and send you a bill for such unpaid fees.‎ If you provide a payment method and our charge results in an overdraft, chargeback, or other ‎fee from your bank, you alone are responsible for that fee.‎ You are responsible for the security of your account for the Service and for your electronic wallet. If you become aware of a potential breach of security to your wallet or billing ‎information (such as credit card loss or theft), you must notify us immediately.‎
7. Acquiring Collectibles: The Service allows you to purchase, collect and showcase Collectibles that are created on the Service by us and our Sellers. You can purchase Collectibles in two ways: (a) by buying specific Collectibles that are posted for sale on the Service; or (b) by buying packs of Collectibles from us or our Sellers on the Service (each, a “Pack”). There are different types of Packs available for purchase on the Service, and we reserve the right to modify the types, prices and numbers of Packs available at our discretion. Depending on the type of Pack you buy, you will receive Collectibles of varying levels of scarcity.  Before you buy a Pack, we will let you know the types of Collectibles and how many of each type of Collectible (but not the exact Collectibles) that are contained in that Pack.  If you buy an individual Collectible, you will know the exact Collectible that you are purchasing. We do not offer or sell Collectibles outside of the Service. We thus strongly discourage purchase of Collectibles that are offered for sale outside of the Service.  If you decide to purchase Collectibles from third party websites or services, you understand that we do not and cannot verify or vouch for the authenticity or reliability of such Collectibles, and such purchases will be entirely at your sole risk.
8. Description of Collectibles: Collectibles are designed as music commemorative memorabilia and collectibles to enhance the experience of music enthusiasts. They are not intended to be investments or used for ‎investment purposes. Collectibles can vary in composition and Sellers have the sole and absolute discretion as to what to include in each ‎Collectible, including any rights associated with that Collectible.  Generally, however, Collectibles can be ‎associated with various types of content including statistics, photographs, videos, designs, audio recordings, ‎artwork and other forms of media and information (collectively, “Collectible Content”). ‎‎ See “Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Collectibles and Collectible Content” below where we explain what rights you do and do not obtain by purchasing a Collectible; it is important to know that the association between the Collectible and the Collectible Content does not necessarily give you any rights in and to the Collectible Content itself.  Collectibles may also provide the purchaser with additional benefits described in the terms of sale. The value of each Collectible is inherently subjective, in the same way the value of other memorabilia is inherently subjective. Each Collectible has no inherent or intrinsic value. Some collectors might prefer to have a Collectible featuring a certain artist, while another might prefer an equivalent Collectible featuring a different artist.  Therefore, when buying Collectibles you are strongly encouraged to carefully read the details for each Collectible ‎before you make a purchase, as well as any additional terms and conditions that may go along with it.  You accept full responsibility to comply ‎with the scope of the rights granted to you by each Collectible. ‎

All purchases of Collectibles on the Service are subject to these Terms as well as the terms and conditions of sale presented to you by the Seller at the time of purchase. Please note that some transactions and Collectibles you purchase are subject to additional restrictions, including those that relate to age and residency as well as those that impact your rights in and to the Collectible and the Collectible Content. By completing a purchase, you are thereby agreeing to any such additional terms and conditions.

1. Modifications to Services and Pricing: We reserve the right at any time and from time to time to change, modify, add, remove, ‎suspend, cancel, or discontinue any aspect of the Services in our sole discretion, including the technologies used and even including the blockchain and other fundamental blockchain or NFT technologies. In addition, we may modify our fees from time to time.
2. Identifying the Seller: In each case, we are not necessarily the Seller of a given Collectible. When purchasing Collectibles we will indicate who the Seller is of each Collectible or Pack. For those transactions where we are not the Seller, we are not a broker, financial institution, or creditor and provide the Services as an administrative platform only to facilitate transactions of Collectibles‎. YOU BEAR FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR VERIFYING THE IDENTITY, LEGITIMACY, AND AUTHENTICITY OF COLLECTIBLES YOU PURCHASE ON THE SERVICE. WE MAKE NO CLAIMS ABOUT THE IDENTITY, LEGITIMACY, OR AUTHENTICITY OF COLLECTIBLE CONTENT ON THE PLATFORM.
3. Payment Processors: All fiat currency (i.e. government issued currency) transactions that occur on the Service are managed, processed, and confirmed by Stripe and as such, all fiat currency transactions are subject to their terms of service.  We reserve the ‎right to change the method by which we process fiat currency transactions at any time. DUE TO THE NATURE OF BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY, WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER CRYPTOCURRENCY OR COLLECTIBLE PAYMENTS OR TRANSACTIONS, NOR DO WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO REVERSE ANY PAYMENTS OR TRANSACTIONS.
4. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER PAID FOR WITH FIAT OR CRYPTOCURRENCY, WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS FOR ANY PURCHASES THAT YOU MIGHT MAKE ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICE – WHETHER FOR COLLECTIBLES, PACKS, OR ANYTHING ELSE.
5. Transaction Fees: Buying, selling (if possible) or transferring (if possible) Collectibles may be subject to fees, commissions, royalties and other charges (“Fees”) established from time to time in our sole discretion. Fees include: (a) service fees established by and payable to MetaWorks Platforms; and (b) commissions on secondary sales (if available) of Collectibles, established by and payable to the creators of such Collectibles. Service fees may be adjusted from time to time in our sole discretion.
6. Gas Fees: Every transaction on the MetaWorks Platforms Blockchainrequires the payment of a transaction fee (each, a “Gas Fee”). The Gas Fees fund the network of computers that run the decentralized MetaWorks Platforms Blockchain. This means that you will need to pay a Gas Fee for each transaction that you instigate via the Service regarding Collectibles. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in these Terms, you will be solely responsible to pay any Gas Fee for any transaction that you instigate via the Service.
7. Responsibility for Taxes: Except as may be collected by us as required by applicable law and as indicated on the order page where you make purchases, 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, the “Taxes”) associated with your use of the Service and all purchases of Collectibles.

6. Intellectual Property Rights; Limited License
7. Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Service and Our Content: As between you and us, we and our third party licensors own any and all right, title, and interest in and to the Services and any and all data and content made available in and through the Services, including all software, computer code, tools, patches, updates, images, text, graphics, illustrations, logos, photographs, images, pictures, audio, sound effects, sound recordings, features, functionality, design, presentation videos, visual effects, music, music composition, user accounts, and “look and feel” of the Services, and all intellectual property rights related to the foregoing and the Services (“‎Our Content”).

We reserve all rights not expressly granted herein in the Services and Our Content. You acknowledge that your use of Our Content for any purpose not expressly permitted by these Terms is strictly prohibited. Without limiting the restrictions in Section 11: (a) neither Our Content nor the design or layout of the Services, nor any part or component of any of the foregoing, may be downloaded, copied, reproduced, distributed, transmitted, broadcast, displayed, sold, licensed, or otherwise exploited for any purpose whatsoever without our or, where applicable, our licensors’ prior written consent; and (b) you cannot create any work of authorship or proprietary right based on the Services (including Our Content). You will only use the Services as may be expressly provided in this Agreement or to the extent permitted by law or (if applicable) relevant open source licenses. We and our licensors reserve all rights not expressly granted in and to their content.
9. Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Collectibles and Collectible Content:
10.         Ownership of Collectible. When you purchase a Collectible, you are purchasing an NFT that is associated with certain Collectible Content. To clarify, when you purchase a Collectible, you are not purchasing the associated Collectible Content but only the unique NFT specifically associated with that Collectible Content. All Collectible Content is licensed under these Terms and not sold and you do not have any legal ownership, right, or title to any copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights to the Collectible Content, excepting the limited license to the Collectible Content granted by these Terms and as modified by the additional terms and conditions that may apply to a given Collectible as noted above. Your ownership of Collectibles will only be recognized by us if you have purchased or otherwise rightfully acquired such Collectibles from us and is subject to both our or the Seller’s full receipt of the full purchase price of the ‎Collectible and your full compliance with these Terms‎.
11.         License to Collectible Content. Subject at all times to your full compliance with these Terms, when you purchase a Collectible from us, we ‎grant you a worldwide and non-exclusive license to display the Collectible Content associated with your purchased Collectible ‎for only your own personal, non-commercial use as part of your personal collection for ‎display on the Service. You agree that you may not, nor may you permit any third party to do or attempt to do any of the foregoing without our (or, as applicable, our licensors’) express prior written consent in each case: (a) modify the Collectible Content for your purchased Collectibles in any way, including, without limitation, the shapes, designs, drawings, attributes, or color schemes; (b) use the Collectible Content for your purchased Collectible to advertise, market, or sell any third-party product or service; (c) use the Collectible Content for your purchased collectible in connection with images, videos, or other forms of media that depict hatred, intolerance, violence, cruelty, or anything else that could reasonably be found to constitute hate speech or otherwise infringe upon the rights of others; (d) use the Collectible Content for your purchased Collectible in print media, photographs, videos, or any other forms of media, now known or hereinafter devised, except to the limited extent that such use is expressly permitted in these Terms; (e) sell, distribute for commercial gain (including, without limitation, giving away in the hopes of eventual commercial gain), or otherwise commercialize merchandise that includes, contains, or consists of the Collectible Content for your purchased Collectibles; (f) attempt to trademark, copyright, or otherwise acquire additional intellectual property rights in or to the Collectible Content for your purchased Collectibles; or (g) otherwise utilize the Collectible Content for your purchased Collectibles for your or any third party’s commercial benefit.

iii.         Third Party IP. If the Collectible Content associated with your purchased Collectible contains “Third Party IP” (e.g., licensed intellectual property from any of our licensors), you understand and agree as follows: (a) that you will not have the right to use such Third Party IP in any way except as incorporated in the purchased Collectible, and subject to the license and restrictions contained herein; (b) that, depending on the nature of the license granted from the owner of the Third Party IP, we may need to (and reserve every right to) pass through additional restrictions on your ability to use the Collectible Content; and (c) to the extent that we inform you of such additional restrictions in writing, you will be responsible for complying with all such restrictions from the date that you receive the notice, and that failure to do so will be deemed a breach of the license contained in this Section 6.

1.         Other Terms of License. The license granted in this Section 6 above applies only to the extent that you continue to own the applicable purchased Collectible. If at any time you sell, swap, donate, give away, transfer, or otherwise dispose of your purchased Collectible for any reason, the license granted in this Section 6 will immediately expire with respect to that Collectible without the requirement of notice, and you will have no further rights in or to the Collectible Content for that Collectible. The terms of this Section 6 will survive the expiration or termination of these Terms for any reason.
2. Links:Where our Services may contain links to other sites and resources provided by third parties, these links are provided for your information only. We have no control over the contents of those sites or resources. Such links should not be interpreted as approval or endorsement by us of those linked websites or information you may obtain from them, and we are not responsible for any consequences, losses, or damages that may arise from your access or use of such sites or resources. For clarity, if you choose to access any such sites or resources, you do so at your own risk.
3. Advertising: We have the right, without notice, to insert advertising data into the Services, so long as this does ‎not ‎involve our transmission of any of your personal information in contravention of the Privacy Policy.  ‎If you ‎elect to have any business dealings with any party whose products or services may be ‎advertised on the ‎Services, you acknowledge and agree that such dealings are solely between you and ‎such advertiser and we will ‎not be a party to, or have any responsibility or liability related thereto.  You ‎acknowledge and agree that no ‎such advertising may be construed as an endorsement by us of any ‎such products or services advertised.
4. Trademarks, Brands and Logos: Other than trademarks, brands and logos that we expressly indicate belong to us, all other registered or unregistered trademarks, brands and logos found on the Service or in any Collectible Content belong to their respective owners. Nothing contained on the Service or in any Collectible Content should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use any such trademarks, brands or logos without the written permission of us or such third party that owns them.  Furthermore, no third-party trademarks, brands or logos imply any endorsement of, or association with, the Service by such respective owners thereof.

7. Feedback and User Submissions

While we are continually working to develop and evaluate our own product ideas and features, we also pay attention to the interests, feedback, comments, and suggestions we receive from our user community. You may choose to contribute by sending us any ideas for products, services, features, modifications, enhancements, content, refinements, technologies, content offerings (such as audio, visual or other types of content), promotions, strategies, or product or feature names, or any related documentation, artwork, computer code, diagrams, or other materials (collectively, “Feedback”). In addition, the Service may contain interactive functionality such as applications, features, promotions, games, contests, chat ‎functionality, e-mail, message boards, personal, or interest group web pages, profiles, forums, bulletin boards and ‎other such functions (collectively, “Interactive Functions“) allowing content, material, or information you submit, ‎post, publish, display, or transmit (collectively, “submit“) to the Service, to be viewed or used by us, other users or ‎other persons via the Service (“User Content”, and together with Feedback, “User Submissions“). Regardless of what your accompanying communication may say, in order to avoid any misunderstandings the following terms will apply to all User Submissions. Accordingly, by submitting User Submissions to us, you agree that:

1. We have no obligation to review, consider, or implement your Feedback, or to return to you all or part of any User Submissions for any reason;

4. You have been deemed to have warranted to us that you have or own all the necessary legal rights to upload, post, or submit such User Submissions and grant us (and our affiliates and service providers, and each of their and our respective licensees, successors, and assigns) the license to the User Submissions, and that the User Submissions do not and will not violate any law or the intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights of any person;
5. You understand and agree that you are fully responsible for any User Submissions you submit or contribute, ‎and you are fully responsible and legally liable, including to any third party, for such content, its accuracy, and ‎your rights to use it; and
6. You waive any moral rights or other rights of authorship in and to any User Submissions in favor of us, including any rights you may have in the altered or changed User Submissions even if it is no longer ‎agreeable to you.

We have the right, without provision of notice to remove or refuse to post on the Service any User Content for any or no reason in our sole and ‎absolute discretion;‎ monitor, filter, revise, edit, remove or refuse content using manual or automated third-party content ‎moderation services;‎ at all times, take such actions with respect to any User Submission deemed necessary or appropriate in ‎our sole and absolute discretion, including for violating these Terms;‎ take appropriate legal action, including referral to law enforcement or regulatory authority, or ‎notifying the harmed party of any illegal or unauthorized use of the Service. Without limiting the ‎foregoing, we have the right to fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court ‎order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity or other information of anyone posting any ‎materials on or through the Service; and terminate or suspend your access to all or part of the Service for any or no reason, including any ‎violation of these Terms.‎

While we will take steps to monitor content and User Content in the Service, we make no ‎representations or guarantees that we will be able to review all material that you or other users submit to ‎the Service or to do so in a timely manner. We cannot ensure prompt removal of objectionable material ‎after it has been posted and we have no liability for any action or inaction regarding transmissions, ‎communications, or content provided by any user or third party, subject to applicable laws.‎

We reserve the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable your access to the Services, including the Our Content, at our discretion for any reason or no reason. Some of the reasons for which we may remove or disable your access to the Services may include finding that you have violated these Terms, or that your actions are harmful to the Services or our users. You agree and understand that your continued use of the Services is at our sole and absolute discretion and ‎that you will not seek to hold us liable for any suspension, restriction, or termination of our use of the Services.‎

While we will take steps to monitor content and Feedback in the Services, we make no representations ‎or guarantees that we will be able to review all material that you or other users submit to the Services or to do ‎so in a timely manner.

11. Exports and Location

You agree that you will not export, re-export, sell, or transfer, directly or indirectly the Services and other information or materials provided by us hereunder, to any country for which the United States, or any other relevant jurisdiction requires any export license or other governmental approval at the time of export without first obtaining such license or approval. In particular, but without limitation, the Services may not be exported or re-exported: (a) into any comprehensively embargoed countries or any country that your jurisdiction’s government has included on any official terrorism or terrorism-related lists; (b) to any governments of such countries; or (c) to anyone listed on your jurisdiction’s list of prohibited or restricted parties, including the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals, the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Person’s List or Entity List, or Public Safety Canada’s terrorist entities list.

We administer and operate the Services from the United States. Although the Services are ‎accessible in many territories throughout the world, not all features, products or ‎Services discussed, referenced, provided or offered are available to all ‎persons or in all geographic locations, or appropriate or available for use outside the United States. We reserve the right to limit, in our sole discretion, the provision and quantity of ‎any feature, product or Service to any person or geographic area. Any offer for any ‎feature, product or Service made is void where prohibited. If you choose to ‎access the Services from outside the United States you do so on your own initiative and you are ‎solely responsible for complying with applicable local laws.‎

You will not settle any Indemnified Claims without, in each instance, our prior written consent or the consent of an individual whom we authorize, in writing, to approve such settlement.

13. Jurisdiction Specific Disclaimers

CONSUMERS IN QUEBEC, CANADA: QUEBEC’S CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT ‎‎(CQLR C P-40.1) ‎PROVIDES YOU ‎WITH CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING WARRANTIES ‎AS TO ACCEPTABLE ‎QUALITY, SAFETY, DURABILITY, ‎ACCURATE DESCRIPTION ‎AND AGAINST HIDDEN DEFECTS. ‎NOTHING IN THIS SECTION IS INTENDED ‎TO ‎LIMIT OR REPLACE ANY OF YOUR RIGHTS ‎UNDER THE CONSUMER ‎PROTECTION ACT (CQLR C P-40.1), ‎AND TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS ‎PROHIBITED ‎BY LAW, THE EXCLUSION HEREUNDER DOES NOT APPLY ‎TO QUEBEC ‎‎CONSUMERS.‎

IN ADDITION TO THE LIMITATIONS IN QUEBEC, CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW ‎LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION ‎‎OR ‎LIMITATION OF CERTAIN ‎DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE BELOW ‎‎DISCLAIMERS, ‎‎EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS IN ‎“EXCLUSION OF WARRANTIES” AND “LIMITATION OF ‎LIABILITY”‎ MAY NOT ‎APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY HAVE ‎‎ADDITIONAL RIGHTS. NOTHING IN ‎THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS IS ‎INTENDED TO EXCLUDE OR LIMIT ANY ‎‎CONDITION, ‎WARRANTY, RIGHT OR LIABILITY THAT MAY NOT BE ‎LAWFULLY EXCLUDED OR LIMITED.‎ ‎HOWEVER, TO THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED EXTENT UNDER APPLICABLE ‎LAWS, YOU AGREE ‎THAT ALL PROVISIONS OF THESE ARE INTENDED TO APPLY TO YOU.‎

14. Risks
15. Use of Blockchain Technology. We may use experimental cryptographic technologies and blockchain technologies, including tokens, cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, “smart contracts,” consensus algorithms, voting systems and distributed, decentralized or peer-to-peer networks or systems in performing the Service. You hereby acknowledge and agree that such technologies are novel, experimental, and speculative, and that therefore there is significant uncertainty regarding the operation and effects and risks thereof and the application of existing law thereto.
16. Certain Risks of Blockchain Technology. The technology utilized in delivering the Service may depend on public peer-to-peer networks such as the Parachain that are not under our control or influence and are subject to many risks and uncertainties. You are solely responsible for the safekeeping of the private key associated with any blockchain address used by you to participate in the Service. WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RESTORE OR ISSUE ANY REFUND IN RESPECT OF ANY COLLECTIBLES LOST DUE TO LOST PRIVATE KEYS.
17. Certain Risks of Smart Contract Technology. Collectibles and other digital assets relevant to the Service depend on smart contracts deployed to the Parachain, some of which may be coded or deployed by persons other than us. Once deployedParachain, the code of smart contracts, cannot be modified. IN THE EVENT THAT THE SMART CONTRACTS ARE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY MALFUNCTIONS, BUGS, DEFECTS, MALFUNCTIONS, HACKING, THEFT, ATTACKS, NEGLIGENT CODING OR DESIGN CHOICES, OR CHANGES TO THE PROTOCOL RULES OF THE PARACHAIN, YOU MAY BE EXPOSED TO A RISK OF TOTAL LOSS AND FORFEITURE OF ALL COLLECTIBLES. We assume no liability or responsibility for any of the foregoing matters, except as otherwise expressly provided by these Terms or required by applicable law.
18. Collectible Value. The fiat-denominated prices and value in public markets of assets such as Collectibles have historically been subject to dramatic fluctuations and are highly volatile. As relatively new products and technologies, blockchain-based assets are not widely accepted as a means of payment for goods and services. A significant portion of demand for these assets is generated by speculators and investors seeking to profit from the short- or long-term holding of blockchain assets. The market value of any Collectible may decline below the price for which you acquired such asset through the Service or on any other platform. You acknowledge and agree that the costs and speeds of transacting with cryptographic and blockchain-based systems such as the Parachain are variable and may increase or decrease dramatically at any time, resulting in prolonged inability to access or use any Collectibles or other digital assets associated with the Service.
19. Regulatory Uncertainty. Blockchain technologies and digital assets are subject to many legal and regulatory uncertainties, and the Service and the Collectibles could be adversely impacted by one or more regulatory or legal inquiries, actions, suits, investigations, claims, fines or judgments, which could impede or limit your ability to continue the use and enjoyment of such assets and technologies.
20. Cryptography Risks. Cryptography is a progressing field. Advances in code cracking or technical advances such as the development of quantum computers may present risks to the Parachain, the Service, Collectibles and NFTs generally, including the theft, loss or inaccessibility thereof.
21. Changes to or Termination of the Service. As set out in “Updates, Interruption and Termination” and “Modifications to Services or Pricing” above, we reserve the right, and may in fact, make changes to the Services from time to time. Furthermore, there is always a risk that we may elect to terminate the Service in whole or in part, or in particular relation to any group of users, at any time as set out in such provisions. These changes or that termination may significantly affect any Collectibles or Collectible Content.
22. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, YOU ACCEPT AND ACKNOWLEDGE:‎
23. THE PRICES OF COLLECTIBLES MAY BE EXTREMELY VOLATILE, AND FLUCTUATIONS IN THE PRICE ‎OF OTHER DIGITAL ASSETS COULD MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECT THE COLLECTIBLES, WHICH MAY ‎ALSO BE SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT PRICE VOLATILITY. WHEN YOU ACQUIRE A COLLECTIBLE, YOU ARE ‎RECEIVING THE FULL VALUE THEREFOR BY THE TRANSFER OF THE COLLECTIBLE, AND NO PART OF ANY ‎TRANSACTION INVOLVING A COLLECTIBLE INCLUDES ANY GUARANTEE FROM US OR ANY OTHER PERSON ‎THAT ANY HOLDER OF A COLLECTIBLE WILL NOT LOSE MONEY OR THAT THE COLLECTIBLE WILL ‎INCREASE IN VALUE.‎
24. THE COLLECTIBLES ARE INTANGIBLE, DIGITAL ASSETS. THEY EXIST ONLY BY VIRTUE ‎OF THE OWNERSHIP RECORD ‎MAINTAINED IN THE PARACHAIN OR ANY BLOCKCHAIN NETWORK. ANY ‎TRANSFER OF TITLE THAT MIGHT ‎OCCUR IN ANY UNIQUE DIGITAL ASSET OCCURS ‎ON THE DECENTRALIZED LEDGER WITHIN THE PARACHAIN OR ITS ASSOCIATED BLOCKCHAIN PLATFORM. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT WE ARE ABLE TO CONTROL THE PARACHAIN, WE DO ‎NOT ‎GUARANTEE THAT WE OR ANY SELLER CAN EFFECT THE TRANSFER ‎OF TITLE OR RIGHT IN ANY COLLECTIBLES.‎

iii. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING WHAT, IF ‎ANY, TAXES APPLY TO YOUR COLLECTIBLES TRANSACTIONS, AND NEITHER THE COMPANY NOR ANY OTHER ‎PERSON BESIDES YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING THE TAXES THAT APPLY TO YOUR TRANSACTIONS.‎

1. APPLICABLE LAWS, REGULATIONS, OR POLICIES (COLLECTIVELY, “LAWS”) OR LAWS PASSED ON THE FUTURE GOVERNING BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGIES, CRYPTOCURRENCIES, NFTS AND ‎COLLECTIBLES ARE UNCERTAIN, AND NEW APPLICATIONS OF EXISTING LAWS OR NEW LAWS MAY MATERIALLY ADVERSELY ‎AFFECT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MARKETPLACE, THE SERVICE, OR THE UTILITY OF COLLECTIBLES.
2. Secondary Trading. The Services do not currently include a marketplace for the secondary trading of Collectibles. While we intend to provide such a marketplace shortly, we cannot guarantee if or when such marketplace will exist, and you bear the risk that there may never exist a marketplace to resell any Collectibles.
3. EXCLUSION OF WARRANTIES

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF AND ACCESS TO THE SERVICE, INCLUDING THE PARACHAIN, IS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND THAT (I) THE SERVICES, INCLUDING THE PARACHAIN, ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS FOR YOUR USE; AND (II) WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM AND EXCLUDE ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ALL CONDITIONS, WARRANTIES, OR OTHER TERMS, WHETHER STATUTORY, EXPRESS, OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES AS TO MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR CONFORMANCE WITH DESCRIPTION), EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY ARE EXPRESSLY SET OUT IN THESE TERMS.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, THE METAWORKS PLATFORMS PARTIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR ‎DAMAGE CAUSED BY USER ERROR INCLUDING YOUR FAILURE TO REMEMBER OR LOSS OF PASSWORDS OR ‎SIMILAR AUTHENTICATORS SUCH AS PRIVATE KEYS, FAILURES OF THE PUBLIC INTERNET, FAILURES OF THE ‎UNDERLYING BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY INCLUDING FORKS, TECHNICAL NODE ISSUES, OR ANY OTHER ‎BLOCKCHAIN FAILURES WHICH MAY RESULT IN YOU INCURRING A LOSS, DENIAL-OF-SERVICE ATTACK, ‎DISTRIBUTED DENIAL-OF-SERVICE ATTACK, OVERLOADING, FLOODING, FAILURE OF YOUR WALLET INCLUDING ‎BUT NOT LIMITED TO CORRUPTED WALLET FILES, MAILBOMBING, OR CRASHING, VIRUSES, TROJAN HORSES, ‎WORMS, LOGIC BOMBS, OR OTHER TECHNOLOGICALLY HARMFUL MATERIAL THAT MAY INFECT YOUR ‎COMPUTER EQUIPMENT, COMPUTER PROGRAMS, DATA, OR OTHER PROPRIETARY MATERIAL DUE TO YOUR USE ‎OF THE SERVICES, THE PARACHAIN OR ANY SERVICES, COLLECTIBLES, OR ITEMS FOUND OR ATTAINED THROUGH ‎THE SERVICES, THE PARACHAIN OR TO YOUR DOWNLOADING OF ANY MATERIAL POSTED ON IT, OR ON ANY ‎SERVICES LINKED TO IT.‎

You should not take or refrain from taking any action in reliance on any information contained in these Terms or provided by or on behalf of us. Before you make any financial, legal, or other decisions involving the Service or any Collectible, you should seek independent professional advice from persons licensed and qualified in the area for which such advice would be appropriate.

17. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

NOTHING IN THESE TERMS WILL EXCLUDE OR LIMIT OUR LIABILITY FOR LOSSES WHICH MAY NOT BE LAWFULLY EXCLUDED OR LIMITED BY APPLICABLE LAW. SUBJECT TO THE FOREGOING, IN NO EVENT WILL THE METAWORKS PLATFORMS PARTIES BE LIABLE (JOINTLY OR ‎SEVERALLY) TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR INDIRECT, ‎CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR ‎EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, LOST ‎PROFITS (WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY), LOST SAVINGS, LOST REVENUES, LOST GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR LOST OPPORTUNITY ‎‎(COLLECTIVELY, THE “EXCLUDED DAMAGES“). THESE LIMITATIONS ‎APPLY WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED ON TORT ‎‎(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHER THEORY OF ‎LIABILITY, EVEN IF ANY OF THE METAWORKS PLATFORMS PARTIES HAVE BEEN ‎ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF OR COULD HAVE FORESEEN ANY ‎OF THE EXCLUDED DAMAGES, AND IRRESPECTIVE OF ANY ‎FAILURE OF AN ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF A LIMITED REMEDY, AND YOU HEREBY WAIVE, RELEASE, AND FOREVER DISCHARGE THE METAWORKS PLATFORMS PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ALL OF THE EXCLUDED DAMAGES. IF ‎ANY APPLICABLE AUTHORITY HOLDS ANY PORTION OF THIS ‎SECTION TO BE UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE METAWORKS PLATFORMS PARTIES’ ‎LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE FULLEST POSSIBLE EXTENT ‎PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.‎

WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, THE EXCLUDED DAMAGES INCLUDE ANY LOSSES OR DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE INCURRED BY YOU AS A RESULT OF:

• ANY RELIANCE PLACED BY YOU ON THE COMPLETENESS, ACCURACY, OR EXISTENCE OF ANY ADVERTISING, OR AS A RESULT OF ANY RELATIONSHIP OR TRANSACTION BETWEEN YOU AND ANY ADVERTISER OR SPONSOR WHOSE ADVERTISING APPEARS ON THE SERVICES;

18. Privacy Policy

You also acknowledge that our Privacy Policy, available here musicfx.io/privacypolicy, will also apply to your use of our Services. Our Privacy Policy can be found directly on the Services, or, if applicable, where the Services are made available for download on your mobile device’s applicable app store, and are incorporated herein by reference.

19. Copyright Claims

If you believe that anything on the Services infringes upon any copyright which you own or control, you may file a notification of such infringement to the following contact information: info@musicfx.io

The notification must be a written communication that includes the following:‎

1. a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an ‎exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;‎
   if the complaint is about copyright or other intellectual property rights, identification of the ‎copyrighted work or other intellectual property right claimed to have been infringed, or, if ‎multiple infringements are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such ‎infringements;‎
   3. if the complaint is about objectionable content, the reasons for the objection;‎
   4. identification of the material that you are objecting to and that is to be removed or access to which ‎is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material;‎
   5. information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as an ‎address, telephone number and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the ‎complaining party may be contacted;‎
   6. a statement that the information in the notification is accurate; and

20. Jurisdiction

These Terms, their subject matter and their formation, are governed by the laws of the State of California and the federal laws of the United States applicable therein, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provisions or rules. You and we agree that the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (Vienna, ‎‎1980) will not apply to these Terms, the Services, or to any dispute or transaction arising out of these ‎Terms or the use of the Services.

USERS IN QUEBEC: The provisions set out in this section are prohibited by Quebec’s Consumer Protection ‎Act (CQLR c P-40.1) and therefore do not apply to users in Quebec, Canada. ‎

21. Dispute Resolution; Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

This section includes an agreement to arbitrate and an agreement that all such claims will be brought in arbitration only in your individual capacity (and not as a class action or other representative proceeding). Please read it carefully. You may opt out of the arbitration agreement by following the opt out procedure described below.

1. Informal Process First. You agree that in the event of any dispute between you and us, you will first contact us and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation any court action. This is a condition precedent to proceeding in arbitration.
2. Arbitration Agreement. After the informal dispute resolution process, any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Dispute”) arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement or your use of our services or products, including the Services, or relating in any way to the communications between you and us or any other user of the Services, will be finally resolved by binding arbitration. This mandatory arbitration agreement applies equally to you and us. However, this arbitration agreement does not (a) govern any Dispute by us for infringement of its intellectual property or access to the Services that is unauthorized or exceeds authorization granted in these Terms; or (b) bar you from making use of applicable small claims court procedures in appropriate cases. If you are an individual you may opt out of this arbitration agreement within thirty (30) days of the first of the date you access or use this Services by following the procedure described below.

You agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and us are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision will survive any termination of these Terms.

If you wish to begin an arbitration proceeding, after following the informal dispute resolution procedure, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your Dispute to:‎

MetaWorks Platforms, Inc., 

561 Indiana Court

Los Angeles, California

90291

Email Address: info@musicfx.io

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules including, if you are an individual, the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules. If you are not an individual or have used the Services on behalf of an entity, the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules will not be used. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. If you are an individual and have not accessed or used the Services on behalf of an entity, we will reimburse those fees for claims where the amount in dispute is less than $10,000, unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous, and we will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, unconscionability, arbitrability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this arbitration agreement is void or voidable. However, the preceding sentence will not apply to the “Class Action Waiver” section below.

IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH US AND YOU ARE AN INDIVIDUAL, YOU MAY OPT OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT BY SENDING AN EMAIL TO info@musicfx.io WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF THE FIRST OF THE DATE YOU ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES.

Class Action Waiver. To the maximum extent permitted by the consumer protection or other applicable laws in your jurisdiction of ‎residence, all Disputes must be brought in the respective party’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple plaintiff, or similar proceeding (“Class Action”) except that an individual may seek in the arbitration public injunctive relief, and the AAA may include such relief in the award, where applicable. The parties expressly waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any forum. If the Dispute is subject to arbitration, the arbitrator will not have authority to combine or aggregate similar claims or conduct any Class Action nor make an award to any person or entity not a party to the arbitration. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The parties understand that any right to litigate in court, to have a judge or jury decide their case, or to be a party to a class or representative action, is waived, and that any Dispute must be decided individually, through arbitration.

This class action waiver does not apply to the strict extent that the laws of your jurisdiction would not permit it. If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable or if this class action waive does not apply to you due to local laws in your jurisdiction, then the entirety of the arbitration agreement, if otherwise effective, will be null and void. If for any reason a Dispute proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and us each waive any right to a jury trial.

22. Other Terms

These Terms will ‎inure to the benefit ‎of and bind you and us and our respective personal and legal representatives, ‎successors and permitted ‎assigns.‎

No Waiver. Our failure to insist upon or enforce any provision of these Terms will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right.

You are responsible for configuring your information technology and computer programs to access our Services. You should use your own virus protection software.

Severability.

You agree that you alone are responsible for your use of ‎the social network features and that we will not be liable to you or anyone else for your ‎violation or breach of any terms of use or other agreement that may result from your use of the ‎Social Network Features.‎

Force Majeure. We will not be liable for delays, failures in performance, or interruptions of the Services that result directly or ‎indirectly from any cause or condition beyond our reasonable control, including significant ‎market volatility, any delay or failure due to any act of God, act of civil or military authorities, act of terrorism, ‎civil disturbance, war, strike or other labor dispute, fire, interruption in telecommunications or internet ‎services or network provider services, failure of equipment and/or software, epidemic, outbreak of illness or disease, declaration of public health emergency, other catastrophe or any other ‎occurrence which is beyond our reasonable control and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any ‎remaining provisions.‎

Translations. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Terms in the English and any translation thereof in any other language, the English version will prevail.
