5.2 RISK OF REGULATORY ACTIONS IN ONE OR MORE JURISDICTIONS.
For using the Vault, you will need to use ETH, Ethereum's network cryptographic token, and MANA, Decentraland network's cryptographic token. ETH and MANA could be impacted by one or more regulatory inquiries or regulatory action, which could impede or limit the ability of OL to continue to develop, or which could impede or limit your ability to access or use the Game or Ethereum blockchain.
5.3 APPLICATION SECURITY.
You acknowledge and agree that the Site, the Game and related applications are software code and are subject to flaws and acknowledge that you are solely responsible for evaluating any smart contract or other code provided by the Site, Game or content and the trustworthiness of any third-party websites, products, smart-contracts, or content you access or use through the Game. This warning and others later provided by OL in no way evidence or represent an on-going duty to alert you to all of the potential risks of utilizing the Game or the Site.
5.4 USES OF THE GAME.
The Vault feature allows you to store blockchain-backed NFTs and use them in-game, as well as withdrawing them to your own, personally managed crypto wallet. You acknowledge and agree that OL does not provide any representation or warranty regarding the value or merchantability of the NFTs, nor does OL provide any representation or warranty, and affirmatively disclaims any representation or warranty, regarding the security of the Vault feature, the purchase or trade of the NFTs, the NFTs themselves, the applicable blockchain, or the crypto wallet.
The Marketplace allows you to purchase and trade NFTs.
6. VAULT
6.1. All NFTs held in the Vault are custodial assets held by OL for your benefit. In consequence, title and risk to the NFTs shall at all times remain with you and shall not be assumed to be transferred to OL. Also, you shall bear all potential risk of loss of such NFTs.
6.2. At any time, subject to outages, downtime,force majeure events, and other applicable policies, you may withdraw your NFTs from the Vault by sending them to a different blockchain wallet controlled by you or a third party.
7. MARKETPLACE
7.1. The Big Time Account gives you access to the Marketplace. All transactions in the Marketplace are performed with Big Time Credits. The Big Time Account is neither a bank account nor any kind of payment instrument. It functions as a prepaid balance to make transactions in the Marketplace.
7.2. Subject to availability in your country (which you can check here), the Big Time Account can be topped-up by any of the following methods:
7.2.1. VISA Debit Card
7.2.2. VISA or Mastercard Credit Card
7.2.3. Wire Transfer
7.2.4. USDC transfer (unless, in accordance with Section 4.4, you are an Entity incorporated, or individual residing in, any of the following states: Alaska, Hawaii, Minnesota or New York).
7.3. Top-ups are converted into Big Time Credits. Big Time Credits are not currency.
7.4. Depending on the method, due to the timing of processes of Debit Card Issuers, Credit Card Issuers, intervening Banks or Blockchain, certain time might elapse from the time you give the top-up order until the Big Time Credits are available in your Big Time Account.
7.5. Big Time Credits can be used to acquire NFTs in the Marketplace or to make withdrawals from the Big Time Account to a bank account (in USD) or a wallet (in USDC). If you deposit other crypto currencies in your Big Time Accounts such as BTC or ETH to purchase Big Time Credits in order to purchase in the Marketplace, and you want to withdraw in crypto currency, the withdrawal will always be USDC. Depending on the method, due to the timing of processes of intervening Banks or Blockchain, certain time might elapse from the time you give the withdrawal order until your funds are available in your bank account or wallet.
7.6. Depending on the transaction, due to the timing of the process, a fourteen (14) day window might elapse from the time you made a sale until you receive the funds in your Big Time Account.
7.7. Payment solutions are provided by Circle.
When you provide payment information to Circle or to one of its payment processors, you represent that you are the authorized user of the card, PIN, key or account associated with that payment, and you authorize OL and Circle to charge your credit card or to process your payment with the chosen third-party payment processor for any payment, withdrawal or fees incurred by you. OL may require you to provide your address or other information in order to meet its obligations under applicable tax law.
7.8. Refunds and chargebacks.
Top-Ups made to the Big Time Accounts are refundable, conditioned to your not having entered into any transactions in the Marketplace (i.e., not having purchased NFTs or otherwise committed any of the amounts in the applicable top up). Refunds can be made in Big Time Credits in your Big Time balance account.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, DUE TO THE NATURE OF BLOCKCHAIN TRANSACTIONS ALL PURCHASES OF NFTs, EITHER FROM OL OR OTHER USERS OF THE MARKETPLACE, ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
8. TRANSACTIONS AND FEES
8.1. You may purchase NFTs directly from OL, and those NFTs will be stored in the Vault. At any time of your choosing, subject to outages, downtime, force majeure events, and other applicable policies, you can withdraw the NFTs from the Vault into your personal wallet. OL has no visibility into or control over your wallet. With that in mind, OL will 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 from your personal wallet in the Marketplace.
8.2. The Marketplace facilitates transactions between the buyer and seller, but is not a party on any agreement between the buyer and seller of NFTs or between any users of the Game.
8.3. All transactions in the Marketplace will be subject to a 5% fee (the “Marketplace Fee”) calculated using the USDC value involved in such transactions. Such Marketplace Fee will be borne by the participants of the transaction and deducted directly by OL from their Big Time Accounts. Please be aware that transactions in third-party NFT marketplaces (inside or outside Big Time) may be subject to the fees charged by said third-party marketplaces as per the respective terms and conditions. You agree that you use third-party marketplaces at your own risk, and that OL shall have no liability whatsoever with regards to transactions conducted in third-party marketplaces.
8.4. Ethereum requires the payment of a transaction fee (a “Gas Fee”) for every transaction that occurs on the Ethereum network. Said Gas Fee pays for the cost of the network of computers that run the Ethereum network. This means that you will need to pay a Gas Fee for each transaction that occurs via the Game. You accept that the payment of the Gas Fee is inherent to the nature of the Ethereum network and is neither related to OL nor is a result of the use of the Game.
8.5. You accept that any applicable taxes in connection with the use of the Big Time Account and in-game purchases shall be paid by you directly.
9. CHANGES.
OL may make changes to these Terms from time to time. When OL makes changes, the updated Terms will be made available through the OL's Site and update the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of these Terms accordingly. Please check these Terms periodically for changes. Any changes to the Terms will apply on the date that they are made, and your continued access to or use of the Game or the Site after the Terms have been updated will constitute your binding acceptance of the updates. If you do not agree to any revised Terms, you must not access or use the Game or the Site.

18. BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY - IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT
18.1 INITIAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
The parties shall use their best efforts to engage directly to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement and engage in good faith negotiations which shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
18.2 BINDING ARBITRATION.
If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of 30 days from the time informal dispute resolution under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision begins, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below.
Specifically, any dispute that is not resolved under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision shall be finally resolved by arbitration in
accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) by one arbitrator. Within ten (10) calendar days
of the delivery date of the Arbitration Notice, the parties shall appoint a mutually acceptable arbitrator. In the event the Parties do not
select a mutually acceptable arbitrator within ten (10) calendar days of delivery of the Arbitration Notice, the arbitrator shall be
appointed by the President of the ICC. The parties agree that the arbitration shall take place in Delaware, or such other location mutually
acceptable to the parties. Any decision or award rendered by the Arbitrator shall be final, and judgment thereon may be entered in accordance
with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof. For purposes of cost sharing, all claimants shall be considered one party and
all respondents shall be considered one party. The parties shall maintain strict confidentiality with respect to all aspects of any
arbitration commenced pursuant to these Terms and shall not disclose the fact, conduct or outcome of the arbitration to any non-parties or
non-participants, except to the extent required by applicable Law or to the extent necessary to recognize, confirm or enforce the final award
or decision in the arbitration, without the prior written consent of all parties to the arbitration.
18.3 CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND OL AGREE THAT, TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
18.4 EXCEPTION - LITIGATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND SMALL CLAIMS COURT CLAIMS
Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court to protect its Intellectual Property Rights. Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction.
18.5 30-DAY RIGHT TO OPT OUT.
You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following email address: [email protected] Your notice must be sent within 30 days of your first use of the Game, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, OL also will not be bound by them.
18.6 CHANGES TO THIS SECTION
OL will provide 60-days' notice of any changes to this section. Changes will become effective on the 60th day, and will apply prospectively
only to any claims arising after the 60th day.
These Terms and the relationship between you and OL shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
For any dispute not subject to arbitration you and OL agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts with seat in the Delaware, United States. You further agree to accept service of process by mail, and hereby waive any and all jurisdictional and venue defenses otherwise available.
19. GENERAL INFORMATION.
19.1 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. These Terms (and any additional terms, rules and conditions of participation that OL may post on the Site or on the Game) constitute the entire agreement between you and OL with respect to the Game and supersedes any prior agreements, oral or written, between you and OL. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the additional terms, rules and conditions of participation, the latter will prevail over the Terms to the extent of the conflict.
19.2 WAIVER AND SEVERABILITY OF TERMS. The failure of OL to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms is found by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the arbitrator or court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms remain in full force and effect.
19.3 STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the use of the Site, the Game or the Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
