XI. Ownership
Unless otherwise indicated in writing by us, the Site, all content, and all other materials contained therein, including, without limitation, the PubliRare logo, and all designs, text, graphics, pictures, information, data, software, sound files, other files, and the selection and arrangement thereof (collectively, “PubliRare Content”) are the proprietary property of PubliRare or our affiliates, licensors, or users, as applicable. The PubliRare logo and any PubliRare product or service names, logos, or slogans that may appear on the Site or elsewhere are trademarks of PubliRare or our affiliates, and may not be copied, imitated or used, in whole or in part, without our prior written permission.
You may not use any PubliRare Content to link to the Site without our express written permission. You may not use framing techniques to enclose any PubliRare Content without our express written consent. In addition, the look and feel of the Site and Content, including without limitation, all page headers, custom graphics, button icons, and scripts constitute the service mark, trademark, or trade dress of PubliRare and may not be copied, imitated, or used, in whole or in part, without our prior written permission.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, you understand and agree that you shall have no ownership or other property interest in your account, and you further agree that all rights in and to your account are and shall forever be owned by and inure to the benefit of PubliRare.
XII. Terms of Sale
By placing a bid or an order on or through PubliRare, you agree that you are submitting a binding offer to purchase such NFT or Service. Your order is accepted and confirmed once purchase is complete, and PubliRare displays the Confirmation Page ("Confirmation Page"). YOU HEREBY EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT THE SUPPLY OF A NFT BEGINS IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE CONFIRMATION PAGE IS DISPLAYED.
No refunds or returns are permitted except with respect to any statutory warranties or guaranties that cannot be excluded or limited by law.
Creators or Publishers may choose to provide certain rights to holders of their NFTs, which may include, but is not limited to, physical items, special access, or other exclusive content (collectively, “Additional Items”). Any Additional Items will be provided directly to you from the Creator or Publisher; PubliRare has no involvement in such transactions and is not a party to such transactions. Notwithstanding the above, PubliRare may allow the Creator or Publisher to publish a description of the Additional Items on the Site. If you own a NFT that entitles you to Additional Items, you hereby consent to PubliRare sharing your contact information with the Creator or Publisher to facilitate delivery of your Additional Items. Unless otherwise stated, transactions on the Secondary Market are only for NFTs and do not grant the purchaser the right to any Additional Items.
PubliRare will receive payments on behalf of the seller of a NFT as the seller's agent. If you are a seller of a NFT, you appoint PubliRare as your agent for the limited purpose of receiving, holding and settling payments by buyers of the NFTs you sell.
A payment received by us from a buyer, on the seller’s behalf, satisfies the buyer’s obligation to the seller in the amount of the payment received, regardless of whether we actually settle such payment to the seller. In the event that we do not make any such payment to a seller as described in these Terms of Use, the seller will have recourse against us only and not against the buyer, as such payment is deemed to be made by the buyer to the seller upon receipt by us. To the extent permissible under the rules of any third-party or governmental body with jurisdiction over us, the seller agrees that we are not liable for seller’s acts and omissions and understands that we disclaim any such liability.
XIII. Intellectual Property
Outside the PubliRare Content, all other trademarks, product names, and logos on the Site are the property of their respective owners and may not be copied, imitated, or used, in whole or in part, without the permission of the applicable trademark holder. Without limiting the foregoing, if you believe that third-party material hosted by PubliRare infringes your copyright or trademark rights, please file a notice of infringement by contacting PubliRare’s Copyright Agent at intellectualproperty@publirare.com.
In such event, please provide PubliRare’s Copyright Agent with the following information: (1) an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest; (2) a description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed; (3) a description of the location on Site of the material that you claim is infringing; (4) your address, telephone number and e-mail address; (5) a written statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and (6) a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.
PubliRare’s policy is to suspend or terminate the account of repeat infringers. PubliRare’s response may depend on relevant aggravating or mitigating circumstances, but generally we will terminate an account if it is the subject of three valid infringement notices.

XVIII. Risks
Please note the following risks in accessing or using PubliRare:
- The price and liquidity of blockchain assets, including NFTs, are extremely volatile and may be subject to large fluctuations;
- Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect NFTs, which may also be subject to significant price volatility;
- Legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the state, federal, or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange, and value of NFTs;
- NFTs are not legal tender and are not backed by the government;
- Transactions in NFTs may be irreversible, and, accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable;
- Some transactions in NFTs shall be deemed to be made when recorded on a public ledger, which is not necessarily the date or time that you initiated the transaction;
- The value of NFTs may be derived from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange fiat currency or digital assets for NFTs, which may result in the potential for permanent and total loss of value of a particular NFT should the market for that NFT disappear;
- The nature of NFTs may lead to an increased risk of fraud or cyber attack, and may mean that technological difficulties experienced by PubliRare may prevent the access to or use of your Digital Assets; Changes to Third Party Sites (discussed in Section 18 below) may create a risk that your access to and use of the Site will suffer.
You agree and understand that you are solely responsible for determining the nature, potential value, suitability, and appropriateness of these risks for yourself, and that PubliRare does not give advice or recommendations regarding NFTs, including the suitability and appropriateness of, and investment strategies for, NFTs. You agree and understand that you access and use PubliRare at your own risk; however, this brief statement does not disclose all of the risks associated with NFTs and other digital assets. You agree and understand that PubliRare will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using NFTs, however caused.
XIX. Third Parties
PubliRare may rely on third-party platforms, including but not limited to MetaMask to perform NFT transactions. Our Site may contain links to third-party websites or applications (collectively, “Third Party Sites”). PubliRare does not own or control Third Party Sites. You understand and agree that your use of any Third Party Site is subject to any terms of use and/or privacy policy provided by such Third Party Site. PubliRare is not a party to any such agreement. You should review any terms of use and/or privacy policy provided by such Third Party Site and should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any transaction with any third party.
PubliRare provides these Third Party Sites only as a convenience and does not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to Third Party Sites, or their products or services. You use all links in Third Party Sites at your own risk. When you leave our Site, our Agreement and policies no longer govern. We may, but are not obligated to, warn you that you are leaving our Site.
Some transactions on our site may be facilitated and run by Metamask. Any such transactions are governed by the Metamask Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
XX. External Projects
Except for those NFTs sold by the PubliRare editions, PubliRare allows for the display, purchase, and sale of NFTs that were listed directly by a Publisher (“Publisher Projects”) or that were not initially sold through PubliRare (“External Projects”). PubliRare has the right, in its sole discretion, to determine the criteria that Publisher Projects and External Projects must meet before being allowed onto the PubliRare Platform and to remove any Publisher Projects or External Projects that do not comply with these Terms of Use or other requirements of PubliRare.
- Creators of External Projects. If you are a Creator of an External Project, you will be entitled to the same share of sales of your NFTs on PubliRare as you would be on the platform that you initially released the NFTs on; provided, however, that: (i) you and your NFT Creations from External Projects comply with these Terms of Use; and (ii) you provide PubliRare with all information that it requests from you. By selling your NFT Creations from an External Project on PubliRare, you represent and warrant that you have all necessary licenses and permits to the artwork contained in your NFTs. As a Creator of an External Project, you grant PubliRare all licenses granted by Creators under these Terms of Use. Your proceeds will be delivered into your PubliRare account.
- Owners of NFTs from External Projects. If you acquired a NFT from an External Project outside PubliRare, by transferring such NFT to your PubliRare account, you represent and warrant that you have all right and title to such NFT and that you have the right to display and/or sell such NFT on PubliRare.
- Buyers of Publisher Projects and External Projects. You understand and agree that your purchase of a NFT from a Publisher Project or an External Project is made from the seller of such NFT and not PubliRare. PubliRare makes no representations or warranties with respect to NFTs from Publisher Projects or External Projects and all such purchases are made on an “as is” basis.
XXI. External Listings
PubliRare may display NFTs, including prices, made available by or obtained from platforms other than PubliRare (“External Listings”). These External Listings will be identified as such. While PubliRare endeavors to publish and maintain accurate pricing information for External Listings, it is not possible for PubliRare to guarantee the prices displayed for External Listing, which can be changed at any time. By purchasing an External Listing, you acknowledge and agree that PubliRare is in no way responsible for the accuracy, timeliness, or completeness of such External Listings.
If you choose to purchase a NFT from an External Listing, PubliRare will act as a facilitator in the acquisition of such NFT and transfer it to you. PubliRare will cease acting as facilitator as soon as such NFT is transferred to you.
To facilitate the acquisition of your External Listing, PubliRare will charge your method of payment, in addition to the price of the External Listing, any applicable charges for taxes and fees (an amount that will be disclosed to you before you elect to proceed). This charge includes an amount we pay on your behalf to recover the amount we pay to the External Listing platform in connection with your acquisition.
If PubliRare is unable to acquire a NFT from an External Listing for any reason whatsoever, PubliRare will cancel the transaction and your funds will be returned to you. IN NO EVENT WILL PUBLIRARE BE LIABLE FOR THE FAILURE TO ACQUIRE A NFT FROM AN EXTERNAL LISTING.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. Some jurisdictions also limit disclaimers or limitations of liability for personal injury from consumer products, so this limitation may not apply to personal injury claims.

XXX. Miscellaneous
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and PubliRare relating to your access to and use of the Service. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without the prior written consent of PubliRare, and PubliRare’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

The section headings used herein are for reference only and shall not be read to have any legal effect.
The Service is operated by us in the European Union. Those who choose to access the Service from locations outside the European Union do so at their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. You and PubliRare agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to the interpretation or construction of these Terms.
Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.
