In this document, we describe that:
We are Metalverse
You use our service to create (“mint”) your own NFTs
We do not own, control or have custody over your NFTs
Please read these Terms carefully, as they set out your rights and responsibilities when you use this Site and the “Services” offered. BY CLICKING TO ACCEPT AND/OR USING OUR SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND ALL OF THE TERMS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE. BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU HEREBY CERTIFY THAT YOU ARE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MUST NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SITE. By agreeing to these Terms, you agree to resolve all disputes through binding individual arbitration, which means that you waive any right to have the dispute decided by a judge or jury, and you waive any right to participate in collective action, whether that be a class action, class arbitration, or representative action. You have the ability to opt-out of this arbitration clause by sending us notice of your intent to do so within thirty (30) days of your initial agreement to these Terms. Review the Terms each time you access the Site to ensure that you understand how the Terms apply to your activities on the Site. When you connect your cryptocurrency wallet to the Site using a trusted service provide such as MetaMask or Wallet Connect, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms and all of the terms incorporated herein by reference.
Welcome to Metalverse, owned and operated by Metalverse Entertainment GmbH, Dortmund, Germany (“Metalverse,” “we,” “us”, or “our”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Metalverse website(s), our APIs and any other software, features, or functionalities provided on or in connection with our services; including using our services to view, explore, and create NFTs on public blockchains and use our tools, at your own discretion (collectively, the “Service”). “NFT” in these Terms means a non-fungible token or similar digital item implemented on a blockchain (such as the Ethereum blockchain), which uses smart contracts to link to or otherwise be associated with certain content or data. For purposes of these Terms, “user”, “you”, and “your” means you as the user of the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other entity then “you” includes you and that entity, and you represent and warrant that (a) you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind the entity to these Terms, and (b) you agree to these Terms on the entity’s behalf. Metalverse is not a wallet provider, exchange, broker, financial institution, or creditor. Metalverse provides a peer-to-peer web3 service that helps users discover and directly interact with NFTs available on public blockchains. We do not have custody or control over the NFTs or blockchains you are interacting with and we do not execute or effectuate purchases, transfers, or sales of NFTs. To use our Service, you must use a third-party wallet which allows you to engage in transactions on blockchains. Metalverse is not party to any agreement between any users. You bear full responsibility for verifying the identity, legitimacy, and authenticity of NFTs that you purchase using the Service and we make no claims about the identity, legitimacy, functionality, or authenticity of users or NFTs (and any content associated with such NFTs) visible on the Service. Because we have a growing number of services, we occasionally need to provide additional terms for specific services (and such services are deemed part of the “Service” hereunder and shall also be subject to these Terms). Those additional terms and conditions, which are available with the relevant service, then become part of your agreement with us if you use those services. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and any additional applicable terms we may provide for a specific service, such additional terms shall control for that specific service. Metalverse reserves the right to change or modify these Terms at any time and in our sole discretion. If we make material changes to these Terms, we will use reasonable efforts to provide notice of such changes, such as by providing notice through the Service or updating the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of these Terms. By continuing to access or use the Service, you confirm your acceptance of the revised Terms and all of the terms incorporated therein by reference effective as of the date these Terms are updated. It is your sole responsibility to review the Terms from time to time to view such changes and to ensure that you understand the terms and conditions that apply when you access or use the Service.
Your blockchain address functions as your identity on Metalverse. Accordingly, you will need a blockchain address and a third-party wallet to access the Service. Your account on the service (“Account”) will be associated with your blockchain address. Your Account on Metalverse will be associated with your linked blockchain address and display the NFTs for that blockchain address (and, if applicable, any content associated with such NFTs). By using your wallet in connection with the Service, you agree that you are using that wallet under the terms and conditions of the applicable provider of the wallet. Wallets are not operated by, maintained by, or affiliated with Metalverse, and Metalverse does not have custody or control over the contents of your wallet and has no ability to retrieve or transfer its contents. Metalverse accepts no responsibility for, or liability to you, in connection with your use of a wallet and makes no representations or warranties regarding how the Service will operate with any specific wallet. You are solely responsible for keeping your wallet secure and you should never share your wallet credentials or seed phrase with anyone. If you discover an issue related to your wallet, please contact your wallet provider. Likewise, you are solely responsible for your Account and any associated wallet and we are not liable for any acts or omissions by you in connection with your Account or as a result of your Account or wallet being compromised. You agree to immediately notify us if you discover or otherwise suspect any security issues related to the Service or your Account. The Service is operated by us in the Federal Republic of Germany; you represent and warrant that you will comply with all laws applicable. Those who choose to access the Service from locations outside the Federal Republic of Germany do so at their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. Metalverse may require you to provide additional information and documents in certain circumstances, such as at the request of any government authority, as any applicable law or regulation dictates, or to investigate a potential violation of these Terms. In such cases, Metalverse, in its sole discretion, may disable your Account and block your ability to access the Service until such additional information and documents are processed by Metalverse. If you do not provide complete and accurate information in response to such a request, Metalverse may refuse to restore your access to the Service. Your access and use of the Service may be interrupted from time to time for any of several reasons, including, without limitation, the malfunction of equipment, periodic updating, maintenance, or repair of the Service or other actions that Metalverse, in its sole discretion, may elect to take.
When you link your cryptocurrency wallet, you understand and agree that you are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your wallet and your control over any wallet-related authentication credentials, private or public cryptocurrency keys, non-fungible tokens or cryptocurrencies that are stored in or are accessible through your wallet. Any unauthorized access to your cryptocurrency wallet by third parties could result in the loss or theft of NFTs and/or funds held in your wallet and any associated wallets, including any linked financial information such as bank account(s) or credit card(s). We are not responsible for managing and maintaining the security of your cryptocurrency wallet nor for any unauthorized access to or use of your cryptocurrency wallet. If you notice any unauthorized or suspicious activity in your cryptocurrency wallet that seems to be related to this Site, please notify us immediately.
Unless otherwise indicated in writing by us, the Site, all content, and all other materials contained therein, including, without limitation, our logos, and all designs, text, graphics, pictures, information, data, software, sound files, other files, and the selection and prearrangement thereof (collectively, “Site Content”) are the proprietary property of Metalverse or our affiliates, licensors, or users, as applicable. Metalverse logo and any Metalverse product or service names, logos, or slogans that may appear on the Site or elsewhere are trademarks of Metalverse 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 Site Content or link to the Site without our prior written permission. You may not use framing techniques to enclose any Site Content without our express written consent. In addition, the look and feel of the Site Content, including without limitation, all page headers, custom graphics, button icons, and scripts constitute the service mark, trademark, or trade dress of Metalverse and may not be copied, imitated, or used, in whole or in part, without our prior written permission.
By placing an order on the Site, you agree that you are submitting a binding offer to mint an NFT or use another Service. If you are the initial creator of an NFT or you are purchasing a Service, then all amounts due (for example the minting fee) are to be paid to Metalverse. You also acknowledge and agree that we receive a royalty fee of every subsequent sale of a NFT minted on Metalverse (“Royalty”). We have the right to collect Royalties in perpetuity and may use those funds in any manner we see fit. As such, if you sell an NFT minted on Metalverse, on a third-party NFT marketplace, you agree to include a statement substantially similar to the following in the description of the NFT: “Royalty Applies. See Metalverse Terms for details.” In addition, when you mint an NFT on this Site, you agree to pay all applicable fees associated with the transaction and you authorize Us to automatically charge and collect such fees from your payment. We will always display a breakdown of any transaction or other fees prior to your purchase or sale of an NFT. No refunds are permitted except with respect to any statutory warranties or guaranties that cannot be excluded or limited by law.

Please note the following risks in accessing, minting, trading or using NFTs minted on Metalverse: 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 minted on Metalverse, 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 any government. Transactions in NFTs minted on Metalverse may be irreversible, and, accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable. Some transactions in NFTs minted on Metalverse 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 minted on Metalverse 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. 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 we do 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 this Site 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 we will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using NFTs, however caused.
