Termini e condizioni di vendita NFT

1. GENERAL

1.1. These general license terms and conditions (the “Terms”) apply to any purchase, sale and use of GCDS NFTs. These Terms are a legal agreement between you as a buyer and rightful ‘owner’ of the GCDS NFT(s) (the “GCDS NFT”) and licensee of the Digital Media (as hereinafter defined), regardless whether you are the one minting the GCDS NFT or if you are any subsequent holder (the “NFT Holder” or “you”), and GCDS S.r.l., with registered office in Milan, Via Spartaco n. 8, Tax Code and registration number with the Company Register of Milan, Monza-Brianza and Lodi 09146210969, R.E.A. N. MI-2071764 (the “Company” or “GCDS”) as the licensor of the Digital Media associated with the GCDS NFT and the party responsible for the GCDS NFT. Azerion Metaverse B.V. having its registered offices at Boeingavenue 80, 1119 PE, Schiphol-Rijk, registration number 76887855 (“Azerion”) is the party that will - on behalf of GCDS - launch and sell the GCDS NFT. “Digital Media” means the digital artwork (such as NFT art or other ‘metaverse content’) or similar digital audio and/or visual content explicitly associated with a GCDS NFT.

2. PURCHASE OF SALE OF GCDS NFTS

2.1. The offer for the sale of GCDS NFTs on the minting website or elsewhere does not yet constitute a binding offer to conclude an agreement, but merely an invitation for you to submit a binding offer. Company reserves the right to modify or have modified the types, prices, total amount of GCDS NFTs available and any other details of the GCDS NFTs at its discretion.

2.2. Any (financial) transactions that you engage in in connection with the GCDS NF via the minting website or any (secondary) marketplace will be conducted on the Ethereum network. We have no control over these transactions, nor do we have the ability to reverse any transactions. We have no liability to you or to any third party for any claims or damages that may arise as a result of any transactions that you engage in via the Ethereum network. Therefore, you should ensure you are aware of and agree to the terms and conditions that apply to (the use of) the Ethereum network.

2.3. Ethereum requires the payment of a transaction fee (a so-called “Gas Fee”) for every transaction that occurs on the Ethereum network. You will be solely responsible to pay the Gas Fee. We are not responsible for, and cannot prevent that you may incur, Gas Fees for failed or unsuccessful transactions, excessive Gas Fees charged due to high demand, complexity of transactions or due to bugs or technical malfunctions, or any loss of your GCDS NFT due to bugs or technical malfunctions.

2.4. You acknowledge and agree that our smart contract will be (fully) used to effectuate any sale and purchase of any GCDS NFT. You are not entitled to circumvent, tamper with or otherwise ignore, in whole or in part, our smart contract in any way in connection with a transaction of a GCDS NFT. Upon a successful purchase of a GCDS NFT via the minting website or (secondary) marketplace, the smart contract automatically and immediately executes the transaction of the GCDS NFT and the corresponding payment. By buying a GCDS NFT, you agree to pay to us all applicable fees, costs and royalties and authorize us to automatically deduct these amounts directly from your payment.

2.5. Given the nature of the GCDS NFT and technology that is used for transactions, the fact that the execution of the transaction on the ethereum network directly commences after your purchase of a GCDS NFT and that you will immediately obtain, have access to and will be able to reveal the digital media connected with the GCDS NFT when the transaction is successfully completed, you acknowledge and agree that by concluding a purchase of a GCDS NFT you lose any right of withdrawal that you may have in this regard. each payment is final and will not be subject to any refund, including any payment of transaction fees, even in the situation in which the underlying transaction would not be successful.

2.6. It is your sole responsibility to pay any taxes deriving from any sale of GCDS NFTs by or on behalf of you. If we are required to pay any taxes on your behalf, you will remit payment to the Company within thirty (30) days of notification by the Company.

2.7. The minting website or any (secondary) marketplace that is used for the purchase and sale of a GCDS NFT may impose its own terms and conditions that further govern your purchase or sale of a GCDS NFT. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these terms and any other applicable terms and conditions, these Terms will prevail in your contractual relationship with Company in connection with your purchase, sale and use of GCDS NFTs.

3. GCDS NFTS PRICES & ASSUMPTIONS OF RISKS

3.1. You understand that the prices of digital collectibles, such as the GCDS NFT, may be extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the price or value of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of your GCDS NFT. we cannot guarantee – and therefore we cannot be held liable – that any GCDS NFT will not lose or will gain value (or have any economic value whatsoever) or have any kind of functionality or fitness for a particular purpose.

3.2. You also understand that there are risks associated with blockchain transactions and NFTs including, but not limited to, the effects of varying laws and regulations, the risk of failure or instability of hardware, operating systems, internet connections and the risk of other technological malfunctions, the risk of virus introduction, fraud, counterfeiting and cyberattacks as a result of which third parties may obtain unauthorized access to your digital collectible or personal information, and that blockchain transactions are in principle irreversable as a result of which any losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable. By purchasing and selling GCDS NFTs you are accepting sole responsibility for any and all transactions in connection with your purchase or sale of gcds NFTs.

When you acquire a GCDS NFT, you own the NFT, but you do not own the associated Digital Media or any Intellectual Property Rights therein. “Intellectual Property Rights” means any patent rights, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, know-how or any other intellectual property rights recognized in any country or jurisdiction in the world. The Intellectual Property Rights in the Digital Media associated with the GCDS NFT rest solely with GCDS and/or its licensors, subject to the limited license granted by these terms only.
