  • Modify any Digital Work in any way.
  • Make “commercial use” of any Digital Work, including any Digital Work associated with their NFT(s), including, for example, by creating and selling copies of the Digital Work, licensing the Digital Work for commercial purposes (e.g., to sell merchandise, products, or services), or otherwise commercially exploiting the Digital Work.
  • Use any Digital Work or NFT in any way that: (a) violates the rights of any third party, any applicable law, rule, or regulation, or these Terms; (b) is obscene, profane, pornographic, vulgar, or offensive; (c) incites or promotes violence or violent or dangerous behavior, or depicts violence (either towards others or oneself); (d) involves hate speech, endorses any form of hate, or harasses, abuses, insults, harms, defames, slanders, disparages, intimidates, threatens, or discriminates against others based on gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, race, age, national origin, or disability; (e) spreads false, deceptive, misleading, otherwise unsubstantiated or unfair information or material or promotes any particular political agenda or message; and (f) promotes any activities that may be or appear unsafe or dangerous, including, without limitation, excessive consumption of alcohol, illegal drugs, tobacco, firearms/weapons (or the use of any of the foregoing).
  • Except as allowed under these Terms, to use any of 9dcc’s intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, copyright, and design rights) whether registered or unregistered. All rights therein and goodwill associated therewith shall inure to the benefit of 9dcc.

By participating in the Services, you grant to 9dcc an irrevocable, perpetual, unlimited, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide, sublicensable right to use your public Wallet address and, to the extent made publicly available, any alias, name, avatar, online profile, domain name, or other information associated with your public Wallet address, for any lawful purpose whatsoever, including without limitation, for purposes of advertising or promoting the Collection, 9dcc or the Services.

Governing Law

These Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law provisions. You and we expressly agree that any claim or dispute must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court or arbitration located in Los Angeles County, California, except as described in the agreement to arbitrate below or as otherwise mutually agreed by the parties.

Agreement to Arbitrate

Except as provided below, you and we agree that any Dispute that cannot be resolved through the procedures set forth above will be resolved through binding arbitration on an individual basis. className actions and className arbitrations are not allowed. You may bring a claim only on behalf of yourself and cannot seek relief that would affect other users of our services. If there is a final judicial ruling that any particular claim (or a request for particular relief) cannot be arbitrated in accordance with these Terms, then only that particular claim or request for relief may be brought in court. All other claims (or requests for relief) remain subject to this provision. Questions of arbitrability—i.e., whether a particular claim is subject to arbitration—shall be resolved in arbitration.

Instead of commencing an arbitration, you or we may also bring claims in your local “small claims” court if the rules applicable to that court allow it. Otherwise, the claims must be resolved by binding, individual arbitration.

If you are in the United States, the arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. If you are outside of the United States, the arbitration will be conducted by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution in accordance with its International Expedited Procedures. The arbitration will be decided by a sole arbitrator. The arbitrator will have experience adjudicating matters involving Internet technology, software applications, financial transactions and, ideally, blockchain technology. The costs and fees of arbitration shall be allocated in accordance with the arbitration provider&aposs rules, including rules regarding frivolous or improper claims.

You and we expressly waive a trial by jury.

The arbitration will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. The prevailing party will be entitled to an award of their reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor its representatives may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of (all/both) parties.

Arbitration Opt-Out

You can opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of the date you agreed to these Terms. To opt out, you must send an email to us at support@9dcc.xyx with your full name and email address and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement (such notice, an “Arbitration Opt-out Notice”). If you do not provide us with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice within the thirty (30) day period, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate any dispute.

Limitation of Actions

You and we agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising from or relating to these Terms or the Services must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or will be forever barred.

Severability

Should any portion of these Terms be rendered void, invalid, or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding upon the parties.

Survival

Any provision of these Terms that by its nature would extend beyond its expiration or termination shall remain in effect in perpetuity or until fulfilled.
