Some Background About the WAX Platform and Ecosystem
The Worldwide Asset eXchange™ a/k/a WAX is a decentralized blockchain-based technology platform (the “Platform”) that enables users to create and trade in non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”) and other assets capable of digital transmission utilizing blockchain technologies (“Digital Assets”). Given the decentralized nature of the Platform and the diversity of its uses, a number of technology providers, content providers, software developers, users and other parties (including us, our affiliates, and unaffiliated third parties) have developed or offered and continue to develop and offer a wide variety of content, applications, technologies, products and services that make use of the Platform (collectively, the “Ecosystem”). While Our Offerings may be designed to work with the Platform and certain other Ecosystem elements, we do not operate or control the Platform or such other Ecosystem elements, and therefore cannot and do not guarantee that Our Offerings will work as expected, including, without limitation, as to their accessibility, stability, security, functionality, interoperability or performance.
BEFORE PURCHASING OR USING OUR OFFERINGS, PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS. For your convenience, we have included certain information pertaining to the Platform in ANNEX 1below. Such information is provided only as an accommodation, and you will at all times be responsible for ensuring that you have obtained, verified and fully understand all information pertinent to the Platform and Ecosystem, and your use thereof, prior to accessing or using the Site or any of Our Offerings. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT WE DO NOT PROVIDE FINANCIAL, INVESTMENT, TAX, LEGAL OR OTHER ADVICE. DECISIONS TO BUY, SELL, TRANSACT IN OR OTHERWISE PERFORM OPERATIONS INVOLVING DIGITAL ASSETS ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AND SHOULD BE TAKEN ONLY BASED ON THE ADVICE OF QUALIFIED EXPERTS.
Our Offerings; Third-Party Offerings; Supplemental Terms
Certain of Our Offerings may be accompanied by or otherwise made available subject to a separate or supplemental end user license agreement, terms of use, or other terms and conditions governing your access, use, purchase or other interaction with such Offering (“Supplemental Terms”). In all such cases, the terms and conditions of any applicable Supplemental Terms will govern and take precedence over any conflicting or inconsistent terms and conditions contained in these Terms, but solely with respect to the Offering(s) to which they apply.
Without limiting the foregoing, any access to or use of the vIRL Market marketplace accessible through the Site or any related software, tools, features or functionalities provided by us on or through the Site, including for viewing, exploring or creating NFTs and for connecting directly with others, at your election, to purchase, sell or transfer NFTs or other Digital Assets on the Platform, are subject to the Supplemental Terms set forth on ANNEX 3 below, as such terms may be updated by us from time to time.
The Site and other Offerings may from time to time include links or otherwise facilitate access to websites, information, content, products, services, software applications, features and other offerings from publicly-available sources or third-party providers (collectively, “Third-Party Offerings”). Your use of any Third-Party Offering is subject to any applicable terms between you and the provider thereof, and you are responsible for complying with those terms. Your use of any Third-Party Offerings is at your own risk, and we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, and disclaim all implied representations, warranties and guarantees, regarding Third-Party Offerings. In particular, we make no representation, warranty or guarantee that any Third-Party Offering will not change or will not be suspended or terminated. By activating or using any Third-Party Offering in conjunction with any of Our Offerings, you grant us permission to share information and data with the applicable third-party providers to the extent necessary to facilitate the provision or use of the applicable Third-Party Offering. The existence of a link between any of Our Offerings and any Third-Party Offering does not constitute or imply an endorsement of such Third-Party Offering.
Revisions
We may revise or update these Terms (including any applicable Supplemental Terms) from time to time. Please ensure you check the Terms (including any applicable Supplemental Terms) each time you access or use the Site or any of Our Offerings. If we make material changes to these Terms, we will post the revised Terms and the revised effective date at the top of these Terms. Your continued access to or use of the Site or Our Offerings after the date any such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not accept any of the revised Terms, you must immediately discontinue any use of the Site and any of Our Offerings.
Except as set forth above, none of our employees or agents is authorized to modify these Terms with you or otherwise enter into an agreement with you that conflicts with these Terms, except by means of a written agreement signed by our duly authorized representative, and any other purported modifications or alterations or conflicting terms will be null and void.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
For the purpose of this section, a “Dispute” is any claim whatsoever that arises out of or is in any way connected with these Terms or use of Our Offerings, save for “Excluded Disputes” which means both (i) any claim arising out of the alleged infringement or misappropriation of the other party's patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property rights or (ii) any claim whatsoever that arises out of or is in any way connected with these Terms or use of Our Offerings where you are a resident of the European Union or a jurisdiction that does not enforce binding arbitration.
ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION: For all Disputes and Excluded Disputes, you and we agree to make reasonable, good faith efforts to informally resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute before you initiate formal dispute resolution. You agree to send us a written notice that describes the nature and basis of the Dispute or Excluded Dispute and sets forth the relief sought. Written notice to us must be sent via postal mail to the address specified under the Contact section at the end of these Terms (“Notice Address”).
EXCLUDED DISPUTES: If the parties cannot reach an agreement to resolve an Excluded Dispute within sixty (60) calendar days after such written notice is received by us, then in relation only to Excluded Disputes the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands Courts. In connection with such Excluded Disputes, you hereby expressly, knowingly, voluntarily and irrevocably (a) consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands Courts and (b) waive any objection based on lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or forum non conveniens.
MANDATORY ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES: If the parties cannot reach an agreement to resolve a Dispute within sixty (60) calendar days after such written notice is received by us, then the parties agree that all Disputes shall be referred to and finally resolved by binding arbitration under and in accordance with the LCIA Arbitration Rules (effective 1 October 2020 as amended from time to time).
The seat of the arbitration shall be the Cayman Islands. The venue of the arbitration shall be the Cayman Islands, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. The language of the arbitration shall be English.
The arbitral tribunal appointed or to be appointed pursuant to this arbitration agreement shall have exclusive right to determine matters including the validity and enforceability of the arbitration agreement as well as the jurisdiction of the arbitral tribunal.
YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH DISPUTE SHALL BE RESOLVED IN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND WILL NOT BE BROUGHT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER (OR IN A REPRESENTATIVE OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION) IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION. Unless both you and we agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person's Disputes or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, and the arbitrator specifically does not have the power to alter this. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual Dispute. If a court decides that Applicable Law precludes enforcement of any of this Section's limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.
This arbitration agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands.
You or we may seek emergency equitable relief before a court located in the Cayman Islands in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration and you agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within the Cayman Islands for such purpose. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to arbitrate.
LIMITATION OF ACTIONS: YOU AGREE THAT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL DISPUTES AND EXCLUDED DISPUTES SHALL BE BROUGHT (IN THE CASE OF EXCLUDED DISPUTES) OR REFERRED TO ABITRATION (IN THE CASE OF DISPUTES) WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE GROUND FOR SUCH DISPUTE OR EXCLUDED DISPUTE AROSE OR SUCH CLAIM WILL BE FOREVER BARRED, WHICH MEANS THAT NEITHER YOU OR WE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASSERT SUCH CLAIM.
Disputes Among Users
You agree that you are solely responsible for your interactions with any other user in connection with the Site, Our Offerings and/or the Platform and Ecosystem and we will have no liability or responsibility with respect thereto. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to become involved in any way with disputes between you and any other user of the Site and/or Our Offerings.

These Terms will be governed by the laws, restrictions, regulations and rules of the State of Delaware, U.S.A., without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
If a particular provision of these Terms is held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms and shall not affect the validity of these Terms as a whole, which shall remain in full force and effect. The parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in any invalid provision.
Any failure by us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of these Terms or any portion thereof by us must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of ours.
A printed version of these Terms and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.
The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Whenever examples are used in these Terms with the words “including,” “for example,” “e.g.,” “such as,” “etc.” or any derivation thereof, such examples are intended to be illustrative and not in limitation thereof. Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail or other electronic service.
You hereby consent to receive service of process by electronic means or social media to the extent allowed by the applicable federal or state court.

You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and us as a result of these Terms or your use of the Site or any of Our Offerings. You acknowledge and agree that our performance of these Terms is subject to Applicable Laws and that nothing contained in these Terms is in derogation of our right to comply with any governmental, court and law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of the Site, Our Offerings or information provided to or gathered by us with respect to such use.

If you acquired WAX Protocol Tokens in exchange for WAX ERC-20 Tokens (each as defined in in the Token Swap Terms and Conditions), you will continue to be subject to the Token Swap Terms and Conditions, which can be viewed at https://www.wax.io/token-swap-terms/.
The Platform uses a delegated proof of stake system relying on users staking or expending WAXP as a means to reserve computing resources. When WAXP is staked, the token is set aside and stored until a user reclaims it (subject to a 72-hour unstaking period). Users that stake tokens earn the right to vote for block producers, and staked tokens may accrue rewards over time. Click here to learn more about staking and voting.

ANNEX 2
RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
You acknowledge and agree that there are inherent risks associated with purchasing and dealing with NFTs, cryptocurrencies and other data units stored on a blockchain (collectively, “Tokens”) including any product or service that generates, embeds, relies upon or otherwise utilizes Tokens (collectively, “Blockchain Offerings”), including those outlined below.
Risk of Losing Access to Tokens Due to Wallet Incompatibility: A cryptocurrency wallet must possess technical infrastructure that is compatible with the receipt, storage and transfer of Tokens supported by the relevant blockchain-based platform. Non-compatible wallet addresses may result in loss of access to Tokens.
Risk Associated with Blockchain Protocols: Any malfunction, breakdown, abandonment, unintended function, unexpected functioning of or attack on the Platform or supporting protocols may have an adverse effect on the Tokens and Blockchain Offerings, including causing them to malfunction or function in an unexpected or unintended manner.
Risk Associated with Digital Wallets and Private Keys: Errors or malfunctions related to digital wallets users choose for purposes of receiving and storing Tokens or Blockchain Offerings may result in the loss of Tokens or Blockchain Offerings. Any third party that gains access to or learns of a user’s login credentials or other private keys may be able to dispose of such user’s Tokens and Blockchain Offerings. If a user’s private key or wallet password gets lost or stolen, associated Tokens and Blockchain Offerings may be unrecoverable and permanently lost. Additionally, providing an incorrect wallet address may result in a loss of Tokens or Blockchain Offerings.
Risk of Unfavorable Regulatory Action:
Blockchain technologies and cryptographic tokens have been the subject of scrutiny by various regulatory bodies around the world. Blockchain technology allows new forms of interaction and certain jurisdictions have applied or may apply certain existing regulations on, or have introduced and may introduce new regulations addressing, blockchain technology based applications, which regulations may be contrary to the current setup of the Platform or its smart contract system and, therefore, may result in substantial modifications to the Platform and such smart contract systems, including its termination and the loss of Tokens and/or Blockchain Offerings.
The regulatory status of NFTs, cryptographic tokens and distributed ledger technology (or certain uses thereof) is unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions, and the regulatory status of each is distinct. To the extent they have not already done so, it is difficult to predict how or whether regulatory authorities may apply existing regulation with respect to such technology and its applications, including specifically (but without limitation to) the Platform and its supported Tokens and Blockchain Offerings. It is likewise difficult to predict how or whether any legislative or regulatory authorities may implement changes to existing law and regulation affecting distributed ledger technology and its applications, including specifically (but without limitation to) the Platform and its supported Tokens and Blockchain Offerings. Regulatory actions could negatively impact the Platform, Tokens and Blockchain Offerings in various ways, including, for purposes of illustration only, through a determination that Tokens are a regulated financial instrument that requires registration, licensing or restriction. We may cease operations in a jurisdiction if regulatory actions, or changes to law or regulation, make it illegal to operate in such jurisdiction, or commercially undesirable to obtain the necessary regulatory approval(s) to operate in such jurisdiction. The functioning of the Platform and the Tokens and Blockchain Offerings could be impacted by any regulatory inquiries or actions, including restrictions on the use, sale or possession of Tokens or Blockchain Offerings, which restrictions could also impede, limit or end the development of the Platform or Blockchain Offerings and/or result in legal liability.
The cryptocurrency exchange market, the token listing and trading market and initial coin offerings are (and by extension certain of the Platform, Tokens and Blockchain Offerings may be) subject to a variety of federal, state and international laws and regulations, including those with respect to “know you customer” and “anti-money laundering” and customer due diligence procedures, privacy and data protection, consumer protection, data security, and others. These laws and regulations, and the interpretation or application of these laws and regulations, could change. In addition, new laws or regulations could be enacted which could impact the Platform, Tokens and/or Blockchain Offerings including your access to or use thereof. Additionally, Platform users are subject to or may be adversely affected by industry specific laws and regulations or licensing requirements. If any of these parties fails to comply with any of these licensing requirements or other applicable laws or regulations, or if such laws and regulations or licensing requirements become more stringent or are otherwise expanded, it could adversely impact the Platform, Tokens and/or Blockchain Offerings.
Risk of Alternative Platforms: It is possible that alternative applications could be established which use the same open source code and protocol underlying the Platform. Tokens supported by the Platform may have no intrinsic value with respect to such alternative applications. The Platform might compete with such alternative token-based applications, which could potentially negatively impact the Platform, Tokens and/or Blockchain Offerings.
Risk of Insufficient Interest: It is possible that the Platform will not be used by a large number of businesses, individuals, and other organizations and that there will be limited public interest in the creation and development of Tokens and/or Blockchain Offerings. Such a lack of interest could negatively impact the Platform, Tokens and Blockchain Offerings.
Risk of Platform Changes: The Platform may undergo significant changes. Any expectations or assumptions regarding the form and functionality of the Platform and related Tokens or Blockchain Offerings may not be met, for any number of reasons, including the decentralized nature of the Platform, participant behavior, and the types of Blockchain Offerings offered through the Platform. In addition, the Platform may experience malfunctions or otherwise fail to be adequately maintained, which may negatively impact the Platform, Tokens and Blockchain Offerings.
Taxation Risk: The tax characterization of Tokens and Blockchain Offerings may be unclear, unsettled or subject to change. Transactions in Tokens or involving Blockchain Offerings may be considered tax events under applicable laws and regulations. You must seek your own tax advice in connection with creating, holding, selling or otherwise dealing with Tokens, which may result in adverse tax consequences, including tax payment liability and tax reporting requirements.
Risk of Theft and Hacking: Hackers or other groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with Tokens or Blockchain Offerings in several ways, including without limitation denial of service attacks, side-channel attacks, spoofing, smurfing, malware attacks, or consensus-based attacks. Blockchains are susceptible to mining attacks, including double-spend attacks, majority mining power attacks, selfish-mining attacks, and race condition attacks. Any successful attacks present a risk to Tokens and Blockchain Offerings, including the expected proper execution and sequencing of smart contract computations and Token transactions.
Risk of Weaknesses or Exploitable Breakthroughs in the Field of Cryptography: Advances in cryptography, or technical advances such as the development of quantum computing, could present risks to cryptocurrencies and the Platform, Tokens and Blockchain Offerings by rendering ineffective the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins the Platform protocol, which could result in the theft, loss or decreased utility of Tokens and/or Blockchain Offerings. Smart contracts, blockchain application software and blockchain platform protocols are still in an early development stage and relatively unproven. There is no warranty or assurance that the process for creating Tokens on the Platform will be uninterrupted or error-free and there is an inherent risk that software could contain defects, weaknesses, vulnerabilities, viruses or bugs causing, inter alia, the complete loss of Tokens.
Illiquid Market Risk: Third party exchanges and marketplaces that support trading in Tokens are likely to be relatively new and subject to poorly understood regulatory oversight. They may, therefore, be more exposed to fraud and failure than established, regulated exchanges for other products and have a negative impact on the Tokens. To the extent that any third party ascribes an external exchange value to Tokens (e.g., as denominated in a crypto or fiat currency), such value may be extremely volatile and diminish to zero. If (despite his or her representations to the contrary) a user is holding Tokens as a form of investment on a speculative basis or otherwise, or for a financial purpose, with the expectation or desire that their inherent, intrinsic or cash-equivalent value may increase with time, there would be significant risks associated with such speculation or actions, and any errors associated therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we do not offer Tokens on an investment basis.
Risk of Uninsured Losses: Unlike bank accounts or accounts at some other financial institutions, Tokens and any funds held using the Platform are generally uninsured. In the event of any loss, there is no public insurer, such as the FDIC, or private insurer, to offer recourse to users.
Risk Associated with Incomplete Information: You may not have full access to all information relevant to the Platform, Tokens and/or Blockchain Offerings. We do not provide users with recommendations or advice related to Tokens.
Risk Associated with User Created Content: There are inherent risks associated with purchasing user-generated NFTs or other Digital Assets utilizing blockchain technologies, including the risk of purchasing counterfeit, illegitimate or infringing items, mislabeled items, items that are vulnerable to metadata decay, items on Smart Contracts with bugs, and items that may become untransferable.
