  3. You understand and agree that you are operating in your personal capacity and not as a broker, agent, employee, or independent contractor of any other party. You agree that the funds to be used for the purchase of an NFT do not come from a person subject to financial sanctions or represent or constitute any person's benefit from criminal action, and that at least one of the following claims accurately represents the source of these funds: (i) The source is personal income received from employment, property or asset sales, investments, or business profit distributions.; (ii) The funding is a gift or a loan.; or (iii) The origin was inheritance.

Secondary marketplaces and third-party sites

  1.  You may sell, trade, or distribute your NFT on any secondary marketplaces, platforms, or exchanges ("Secondary Marketplaces'') established by third parties that support NFTs. Note that the NFTs may not be compatible with all Secondary Marketplaces, and that we do not guarantee the functioning or availability of any Secondary Marketplace. Any Secondary Marketplace on which you sell, trade, or distribute your NFT must have Collector terms that limit the acquirer's rights to the NFT in accordance with paragraphs 6.7 and 6.8.

  2.  Our Website may contain connections to third-party websites or services, such as Secondary Marketplaces (collectively, "Third-Party Sites"). For instance, we can provide a link to a Secondary Market where we believe you can exchange your NFT. When you click on such a link, we may not inform you that you have left our Service and are now subject to the Collector terms and privacy policies of a Third-Party Site. You acknowledge that your use of any Third-Party Site is at your own risk, regardless of whether we provide links to them on our Website. Before proceeding with any transaction on a Third-Party Site, you should consider all applicable terms and conditions and conduct any additional research you deem necessary or appropriate.

  3. Links or references to Third-Party Websites are given only for your convenience and information. Such links should not be construed as our endorsement of the linked sites. We have no control over the content of these Third-Party Sites and disclaim any liability and assume no responsibility for the content of any Third-Party Site that is linked to or accessed through our Service. The listing of a Secondary Market on our website is neither a guarantee nor an endorsement that such a market would support an NFT or permit all conceivable transactions with an NFT.

  4.  You understand and agree that we are not a party to any arrangement or transaction in which you trade an NFT first obtained through our Service on a Secondary Marketplace, regardless of whether we get a commission or fee as a result of the transaction. We are not liable for any damage suffered by you as a result of fees or other sums not received by you or amounts due by you in connection with any transaction that takes place on Secondary Marketplaces or other Third-Party Sites.

  5.  The NFTs implement Ethereum Improvement that enables Secondary Marketplaces to get information regarding the payment of a royalty requested by us for secondary sales. The information is accessible via the smart contract. If a Secondary Market chooses to implement the information, the royalty must be paid on all NFT transactions on that Secondary Market. The remuneration will be split between us and Linh Hoai Vu.

Fee and Payment

       Smart contracts and gas fees

  1. You may be required to pay a transaction fee ("Gas Fee") on the Open Sea blockchain to conduct transactions, including the purchase and transfer of NFTs. The amount of the Gas Fee will change based on the manner in which the Open Sea Blockchain operates. Miners on the Open Sea network are compensated with Gas Fees for validating and adding transactions to the blockchain. We do not receive any percentage of them, nor do we control the amount of the Gas Fee you may be compelled to pay when executing a transaction on the Open Sea network. You agree and acknowledge that: (a) You are responsible for paying the Gas Fee despite its amount, (b) that the Gas Fee is neither refundable nor payable under any circumstances, and (c)The price of each NFT does not include any Gas Fees that you may be required to pay.

  2. You may be able to set the Gas Fee amount, however the smaller the fee, the longer it may take for the transaction to be confirmed. We recommend utilizing the Gas Fees suggested by your wallet. We have no influence over the duration required to confirm your transaction.​                                           Purchase price and charges

  3. All of our prices and fees are displayed in United States Dollars ("USD"). If you pay in a fiat currency other than U.S. dollars, the actual amount to be paid will be decided by the exchange rate utilized by your bank or credit card provider at the time you are charged. We are not liable for any exchange rate fees imposed by your bank or credit card company, nor do we charge or receive such sums.

  4. The NFT's purchasing price will be the amount listed on the Open Sea. Any applicable taxes are your responsibility.

  5. Please refer to clause 8 if you choose to pay with cryptocurrency.

Payment Methods

  1. The NFTs may be paid for using any of the methods outlined in these Collector Terms or on our Open Sea website.​​                                                                                                                      Cryptocurrency transactions

  2. Open Sea accepts cryptocurrency payments. Our accepted cryptocurrencies will be listed on the Open Sea website. All cryptocurrency transactions will be processed through a payment gateway used by Open Sea, with which you'll interact directly. Only cryptocurrency payments that we approve will be applied toward the purchase of NFTs.

  3. Before you may pay using cryptocurrency, you must check that your wallet contains enough cryptocurrency. When you reach the payment options screen, you will be offered with multiple payment options. If you opt to pay using cryptocurrency, you will be sent to the payment gateway's payment page, where you can select the applicable cryptocurrencies. The USD purchase price of the NFT will be converted to the current value of the applicable cryptocurrency at the time your transaction is performed, based on a source decided only by us.                                                      How much digital currency is needed?

  4. You must transfer us the precise quantity of cryptocurrency that we provide. If you send less or more than that amount, we will provide a full refund and you will need to resubmit your payment information. We cannot guarantee that the NFT purchase price will remain constant for recurring payments because the cryptocurrency exchange rate may have changed.                                                       How quickly must payment be made?

  5. Once you've decided to pay using cryptocurrency, you must transfer it within the timeframe specified by the payment gateway. If you do not transmit it within this interval, the conversion rate may have changed, necessitating a rate refresh before the payment can be processed.                            Sending transactions to the wrong wallet address

  6. You need to transmit the cryptocurrency to the address we offer. Since transactions on the blockchain are irreversible, if you send your cryptocurrency to an incorrect address by accident, you will lose the cryptocurrency and the order cannot be processed. You are responsible for ensuring that the cryptocurrency is sent to the correct address. You are solely responsible for sending the cryptocurrency to the correct address that we offer.                                                                       Refund conversion rates

  7. In exceptional cases, we reserve the right to refuse payment for an NFT and give a refund. If we have not received your payment and offer a refund, you will be repaid in USD if you paid in fiat currency. If you paid using cryptocurrency, your refund will be granted using USD as the purchase price's base currency, converted into the corresponding cryptocurrency at the exchange rate in effect when the refund is issued (and not at the time when we confirm that a refund will be issued).

  8. This ensures that the USD equivalent of the purchase price is refunded to you in cryptocurrency. To protect you and ourselves from variations in the cryptocurrency exchange rate, we do not issue refunds at the purchase rate. This could result in you receiving more or less cryptocurrency than you paid. Nonetheless, the USD value will not change.

Risk of use for smart contracts and blockchain

The Service employs experimental technologies, such as cryptographic systems such as smart contracts, blockchain, non-fungible tokens, cryptocurrencies, the Interplanetary file system ("IPFS") and decentralized or peer-to-peer networks and systems. You acknowledge and agree that you understand and accept that all such technologies are experimental, that their use has inherent risks, and that we are not liable or responsible for any resulting errors, failures, risks, or vulnerabilities.

  2. The Service, Open Sea blockchain, and NFTs may be affected by regulatory actions, legislation, or proposed laws or policies, which may limit or restrict your access to the Service, Opensea's blockchain, your NFT or Digital Artwork, your ability to transfer your NFT, or your ability to access or display the Digital Artwork. You agree and accept that you are aware of this risk.

  3. You accept that we are not liable or responsible for any errors, failures, risks, or vulnerabilities coming from the usage of the Service, smart contracts, blockchain, NFTs, cryptocurrencies, IPFS, and connected networks and systems (including, but not limited to, your access to the Service, your NFT, or your Digital Artwork, your ability to transfer your NFT, or your right to access or display the Digital Artwork).

  4. You accept that we are not liable or responsible for errors or problems that you cause, such as forgotten passwords or mistyped addresses.

  5. The acquisition of NFTs via the Service is carried out by one or more smart contracts on the Open Sea blockchain. Smart contracts may be susceptible to malfunctions, errors, including programming errors, hacking and theft, or changes to the protocol rules of the Open Sea blockchain, which may have a negative impact on the smart contracts and expose you to a variety of risks of loss, such as the risk of losing your NFT or cryptocurrency or the opportunity to purchase NFT. You agree and accept that you are aware of this risk.

  6. You recognize and accept that once the smart contract has been executed in conjunction with the purchase of an NFT, it is irreversible and consequently no refunds are available.

  7. The Service and the Open Sea blockchain may be subject to cyber-attacks and unauthorized third-party activities (including, but not limited to, the use of viruses, phishing, sybil attacks, mining attacks, 51% attacks, and brute forcing), unexpected activity spikes, or other operational or technical difficulties (including our own security flaws) and malfunctions that may result in Service interruptions or delays. You understand and accept that we are not liable for any of the aforementioned attacks or any others, or for any damage, losses, or interruptions caused by any viruses that may impact your computer, other equipment, or wallet. You further understand and accept that such attacks may affect your ability to access the Service, your NFT, or your Digital Artwork, as well as your ability to transfer your NFT or view or display the Digital Artwork.

  8. You understand and accept that transacting with NFTs may expose you to certain regulatory risks, including those related to the tax treatment of NFTs or cryptocurrencies and the possibility that NFTs may be designated securities or another regulated asset class.

  9. We do not own or manage the Open Sea blockchain, MetaMask, or any Third-Party Site or service that you may access, browse, or utilize in order to use the Service. You understand and agree that we are not liable for the activities or omissions of such third parties or third-party services, nor for any loss or damage you may incur as a result of any transactions or other interactions with such third parties or third-party services.

  10. You acknowledge that you have adequate knowledge of blockchain technology, NFTs, digital assets, digital wallets, and cryptocurrencies to comprehend these Collector Terms and recognize the risks and ramifications of purchasing NFTs. You acknowledge and agree that you have gathered enough information to make an informed decision about buying an NFT, including (if you choose to do so) reviewing the code of the smart contract, the NFT metadata, and the NFT as well as the storage system used for the Digital Artwork. You also agree that you fully comprehend and accept the functions of the same as well as any associated risks.

  11. By making a payment using a cryptocurrency, you recognize and accept that Linh is not liable for your payment not reaching us, including but not limited to instances in which payment over the Open Sea blockchain failed. It is exclusively your obligation to confirm that Linh has received and accepted your cryptocurrency payment.

  12. You accept and agree that your purchase of a non-fungible token complies with local laws and regulations.

  13. You recognize and accept that certain information about your transaction, including the address of your digital wallet, may be made public on the Open Sea blockchain.                                        Financial risks

  14. The use of the Service, including the purchase of NFTs, may involve financial risk. Smart contract transactions are irreversible and perhaps non-refundable. The danger of loss can be high while trading crypto assets, especially NFTs. The prices of crypto assets are volatile, and price movements could dramatically and negatively impact the value of your NFTs.

  15. You must carefully consider whether purchasing NFTs is acceptable given your financial situation, and you realize and agree that you will access and use the Service at your own risk, including the chance that you may lose access to your NFT or the Digital Artwork permanently. We are not accountable for and assume no liability for your use of the Service and the transactions it facilitates.
