Privacy Policy

The Company’s Privacy Policy can be found at golphersnft.com, and describes the ways it may collect, use, store and disclose your personal information, and is hereby incorporated by this reference into these Terms. You agree to the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of your data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

The Platform

To access and use the Platform, you should first install the Google Chrome or Brave web browser. Once you have installed Chrome or Brave, you will need to create an electronic wallet with MetaMask, Portis, or WalletConnect, which allows you to purchase, store, and engage in transactions using the native Ethereum cryptocurrency, ETH. You will not be able to engage in any transactions on the Platform other than through MetaMask, Portis, or WalletConnect (or other Ethereum-compatible browsers). The Platform will only recognize you as a User, and you will only be able to interact with the Platform, if your Ethereum electronic wallet is connected and unlocked through your MetaMask, Portis, or WalletConnect account. There is no other way to sign up as a User, or to interact directly with the Platform.

The Golphers Platform

The Golphers Platform facilitates a peer-to-peer digital marketplace where Users can purchase Golphers Items. Users can obtain Golphers Items by purchasing at an established list price (in ETH) through the Website by sending an equivalent amount of ETH to a Smart Contract configured to initiate a transfer of the Golphers Item, plus additional fees and gas.

Transactions Are Recorded on the Public Ethereum Blockchain

Transactions that take place on the Platform are managed and confirmed via the Ethereum blockchain. The User understands that your Ethereum public address will be made publicly visible whenever you engage in a transaction on the Platform. We neither own nor control MetaMask, Portis, WalletConnect, Google Chrome, Brave browser, the Ethereum network, or any other third-party site, product, or service that you might access, visit, or use for the purpose of enabling you to use the various features of the Platform. We will not be liable for the acts or omissions of any such third parties, nor will we be liable for any damage that you may suffer as a result of your transactions or any other interaction with any such third parties.

The Platform is Property of Golphers NFT

You acknowledge and agree that we (or, as applicable, our licensors) own all legal right, title and interest in and to all elements of the Platform. The graphics, design, systems, methods, information, computer code, software, services, “look and feel”, organization, compilation of the content, code, data, and all other elements of the Platform (collectively, the “Golphers Materials”) are owned by Golphers NFT, and are protected by copyright, trade dress, patent, and trademark laws, international conventions, other relevant intellectual property and proprietary rights, and applicable laws. All Golphers Materials are the copyrighted property of Golphers NFT or its licensors, and all trademarks, service marks, and trade names contained in the Golphers Materials are proprietary to Golphers NFT or its licensors. Except as expressly set forth herein, your use of the Platform does not grant you ownership of or any other rights with respect to any content, code, data, or other materials that you may access on or through the Platform. We reserve all rights in and to the Golphers Materials not expressly granted to you in the Terms.

Golphers Items

All Work (“Art” or “Work(s)”) on the Platform is represented by a unique cryptographic token exclusively Minted by Golphers. Each Golphers Item (“Item(s)”, “Token(s)”, “Non-fungible token(s)”, or “NFT(s)”) is Minted using the Golphers Smart Contracts based on original Work. Golphers Items are forever tracked and stored on the Ethereum blockchain, providing the Collector of a Golphers Item with a permanent record of authenticity and ownership.

Golphers is a Non-Custodial Service Provider

The Smart Contracts and the Website facilitate User collection of Golphers Items, but Golphers NFT and its affiliates, the Platform, and the Smart Contracts are not the custodians of any User-owned Golphers Items. The User understands and acknowledges that the Smart Contracts do not give Golphers NFT custody, possession, or control of any Golphers Items or cryptocurrency at any time for the purpose of facilitating Golphers Item transactions. You affirm that you are aware and acknowledge that Golphers NFT is a non-custodial service provider and has designed this Platform to be directly accessible by the Users without any involvement or actions taken by Golphers NFT or any third-party.

User Account and Security

You are solely responsible for the security of your account and your MetaMask, Portis, or WalletConnect wallet (and other Ethereum wallets and accounts). You agree to undertake to maintain at all times adequate security and control of all of your Account details, passwords, personal identification numbers or any other codes that you use to access the Platform or the Services.

User May Not Use the Platform for Illegal Activity

You agree to use the Platform only for purposes that are legal, proper and in accordance with these Terms and any applicable laws or regulations. Without limitation, you may not, and may not allow any third party to: (i) undertake any unlawful activity which would violate, or assist in violation of, any law, statute, ordinance, or regulation, sanctions program administered in any relevant country, including but not limited to the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), or which would involve proceeds of any unlawful activity; (ii) distribute viruses, worms, defects, Trojan horses, corrupted files, hoaxes, or any other items of a destructive or deceptive nature; (iii) impersonate another person (via the use of an email address or otherwise); (iv) operate to defraud Golphers NFT, other users, or any other person or provide false, inaccurate or misleading information; (v) use the Platform to violate or infringe the legal rights (such as, but not limited to, rights or privacy, publicity and intellectual property) of others; (vi) engage in, promote, or encourage illegal activity (including, without limitation, terrorism, tax evasion or money laundering); (vii) interfere with another individual’s or entity’s access to or use of the Platform; (viii) harvest or otherwise collect information from the Platform about others without proper consent; (ix) exploit the Platform for any unauthorized commercial purpose; (x) modify, adapt, translate, or reverse engineer any portion of the Platform; (xi) remove any copyright, trademark or other proprietary rights notices contained in or on the Platform or any part of it; (xii) reformat or frame any portion of the Platform; (xiii) display any content on the Platform that contains any hate-related or violent content or contains any other material, products or services that violate or encourage conduct that would violate any criminal laws, any other applicable laws, or any third party rights; (xiv) use any robot, spider, site search/retrieval application, or other device to retrieve or index any portion of the Platform or the content posted on the Platform, or to collect information about its users for any unauthorized purpose; (xv) create user accounts by automated means or under false or fraudulent pretenses; or (xvi) access or use the Platform for the purpose of creating a product or service that is competitive with any of our products or services.

User Must Be of Age

You affirm that you are over the age of 18, as the Platform is not intended for children under 18. IF YOU ARE 13 OR OLDER BUT UNDER THE AGE OF 18, OR THE LEGAL AGE OF MAJORITY WHERE YOU RESIDE IF THAT JURISDICTION HAS AN OLDER AGE OF MAJORITY, THEN YOU AGREE TO REVIEW THESE TERMS WITH YOUR PARENT OR GUARDIAN TO MAKE SURE THAT BOTH YOU AND YOUR PARENT OR GUARDIAN UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS. YOU AGREE TO HAVE YOUR PARENT OR GUARDIAN REVIEW AND ACCEPT THESE TERMS ON YOUR BEHALF. IF YOU ARE A PARENT OR GUARDIAN AGREEING TO THE TERMS FOR THE BENEFIT OF A CHILD OVER 13, THEN YOU AGREE TO AND ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT CHILD’S USE OF THE PLATFORM, INCLUDING ALL FINANCIAL CHARGES AND LEGAL LIABILITY THAT HE OR SHE MAY INCUR.

Prices, Transactions & Fees

Every transaction on the Golphers Platform is subject to Fees collected to support the creators, Golphers Platform and Golphers NFT.

The amount of Fees for the sale of a Golphers Item also depends on whether the transaction involves the Golphers Item’s first sale (“Primary Sale”) or a subsequent sale in the secondary market (“Secondary Market Sale”). All Fees are collected and distributed at the time of the purchase of a Golphers Item by operation of the Smart Contracts.

• Golphers receives 100% of the total Sale Price for Primary Sales.
• Golphers receives a 5% Royalty based on the total Sale Price for Secondary Market Sales paid by the Collector who sells the Golphers Item.
• Users Agree to the Automated Collection and Disbursement of Fees by the Smart Contracts

The User agrees and understands that all fees, commissions, and royalties are transferred, processed, or initiated directly through one or more of the Smart Contracts on the Ethereum blockchain network. By transacting on the platform and by using the Smart Contracts, the User hereby acknowledges, consents to, and accepts all automated fees, commissions, and royalties for the sale of Items on the Golphers Platform. The User hereby consents to and agrees to be bound by the Smart Contracts’ execution and distribution of the fees, commissions, and royalties. Users hereby waive any entitlement to royalties, commissions, or fees paid to another by operation of the Smart Contracts.

Users Consent to Automated Royalties to Golphers

The User consents to the automated collection and disbursement to Golphers of royalties for Secondary Market sales of Golphers Items. The User hereby waives any first sale defense or argument with respect to Secondary Market activities resulting in a royalty to Golphers.

Off Market Transactions

Golphers does not generally collect any fees, commissions, or royalties for transactions occurring outside of the Golphers Platform and not involving the Golphers Smart Contracts. The User is permitted to sell or transfer their Golphers Items on third party exchanges, however the User hereby waives any entitlement to royalties, commissions, or fees for off market transactions. The User irrevocably releases, acquits, and forever discharges Golphers NFT and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, and successors of any liability for royalties, fines, or fees not received by the User from any off-market transaction.

Gas

All User transactions on the Golphers Platform, including without limitation Minting, tokenizing, purchasing, or confirming, are facilitated by Smart Contracts existing on the Ethereum network. The Ethereum network requires the payment of a transaction fee (a “Gas fee”) for every transaction that occurs on the Ethereum network, and thus every transaction occurring on the Golphers Platform. The value of the Gas Fee changes, often unpredictably, and is entirely outside of the control of Golphers NFT or the Golphers Platform. The User acknowledges that under no circumstances will a contract, agreement, offer, sale, bid, or other transaction on the Platform be invalidated, revocable, retractable, or otherwise unenforceable on the basis that the Gas Fee for the given transaction was unknown, too high, or otherwise unacceptable to a User. Users also acknowledge and agree that gas is non-refundable under all circumstances.

Taxes

Users are responsible to pay any and all sales, use, value-added and other taxes, duties, and assessments now or hereafter claimed or imposed by any governmental authority associated with your use of the Platform (including, without limitation, any taxes that may become payable as the result of your ownership, transfer, purchase, or sale of any Works).

Platform Transactions are Executed by Smart Contracts

To initiate a transaction on the Golphers Platform, a User must voluntarily invoke one or more Smart Contract operations from an Ethereum Wallet. All transactions on the Golphers Platform, including but not limited to transfers, listings, sales, or purchases of Golphers Items are initiated though one or more Smart Contracts at the sole discretion and at the complete risk of the Users. The Smart Contracts are configured to facilitate the execution of a voluntary User confirmation to purchase a Golphers Item. The User acknowledges the risk of Smart Contracts and agrees to be bound by the outcome of any Smart Contract operation by invoking, calling, requesting, or otherwise engaging with the Smart Contract, whether or not the Smart Contract behaves as the User expects.

User Acknowledges the Risk of Smart Contracts and Blockchain Technology

Golphers Platform transactions, including but not limited to primary sales, secondary market sales, listings, and other operations through the Website utilize experimental smart contract and blockchain technology, including non-fungible tokens, cryptocurrencies, consensus algorithms, and decentralized or peer-to-peer networks and systems. Users acknowledge and agree that such technologies are experimental, speculative, and inherently risky. Users acknowledge and agree that the Golphers smart contracts may be subject to bugs, malfunctions, timing errors, hacking and theft, or changes to the protocol rules of the Ethereum blockchain (i.e., “forks”), which can adversely affect the smart contracts and may expose you to a risk of total loss, forfeiture of your digital currency or Golphers Items, or lost opportunities to buy or sell Golphers Items. Golphers assumes no liability or responsibility for any such smart contract or related failures, risks, or uncertainties.

Users Assume the Risk of Interacting with on Smart Contracts

Users hereby acknowledge and assume the risk of initiating, interacting with, participating in Platform transactions and take full responsibility and liability for the outcome of any transaction they initiate, whether or not the smart contracts, the Website, or other Platform features behave as expected or intended. Users hereby represent that they are knowledgeable, experienced and sophisticated in using blockchain technology, the Website, and in initiating Ethereum-based transactions.

No Attacking or Interfering with the Smart Contracts

Users are forbidden from engaging in any attack, hack, denial-of-service attack, interference, or exploit of any Golphers smart contract. Operations performed by a User that are technically permitted by a Golphers smart contract may nevertheless be a violation of our Terms of Service and the law.

Golphers Makes No Representations or Warranties

Golphers makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, written or oral, made by or on behalf of Golphers in connection therewith, including any representations or warranties of title, non-infringement, functionality, merchantability, usage, security, suitability or fitness for any particular purpose, workmanship or technical quality of any Golphers Item or work, smart contract code, or software.

Golphers is Not Liable for the Outcome of Any Marketplace Transaction

Golphers shall not be liable to you for contract, tort, or any other types of damages, including indirect, special, incidental, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages arising out of or related to participation in or the outcome of a Platform transaction, whether or not Golphers has been advised or knew of the possibility of such damages. Golphers liability for damages under this Agreement shall in all cases be limited to, and under no circumstances shall exceed, the amount of proceeds actually received by Golphers arising out of the damage after deducting all costs, fees and liabilities incurred by or on behalf of Golphers.

Golphers May Modify these Terms and the Smart Contracts

Golphers reserves, the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to amend, modify, alter or supplement these Terms and the smart contracts accessible through the Website from time to time.

The Platform Smart Contracts Are Not Controlled By Golphers NFT

The User acknowledges and agrees that Golphers and Golphers NFT are not parties to any agreement or transaction between any Users involving the purchase, sale, or transfer of Golphers Items, whether or not a commission or fee is received by Golphers as a consequence of the transaction.

Golphers are NOT Investment Vehicles

Golphers are collectible digital art pieces that also function as fun, Non-Fungible Tokens for you to collect. They were created as art pieces intended for people to enjoy by collecting, not as a financial instrument. Golphers makes absolutely no promises or guarantees regarding the value of Golphers NFTs aside from the one that we will strive to do the best for the project and the community.

Ownership

The Limited License Belongs Only to the Current Owner of a Golphers Item

The User agrees and acknowledges that the lawful ownership, possession, and title to a Golphers Item is a necessary and sufficient condition precedent to receive the limited license rights to the underlying Work provided by these Terms. Any subsequent transfer, dispossession, burning, or other relinquishment of a Golphers Item will immediately terminate the former Owner’s rights and interest in the license or Golphers Item as provided by these Terms.

Golphers Rights and Restrictions

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties and limitations of liability provided in this Section. If you are in such a jurisdiction, some of the above limitations and disclaimers may not apply to you.

Golphers NFT Does Not Guarantee the Value or Title of Golphers Items

The prices of blockchain assets are extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of your Golphers Items, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development of the Platform, and therefore the potential utility or value of Golphers Items. The Platform, ETH and digital assets could be impacted by one or more regulatory inquiries regulatory actions, or legislative policies which could impede or limit the ability of Golphers NFT to continue to develop the Golphers Platform, or which could impede or limit your ability to access or use the Platform or Ethereum blockchain.

User Acknowledges Financial Risk of Digital Assets

Use of the Platform, including the creating, buying or selling trading digital assets, may carry financial risk. Digital assets are, by their nature, highly experimental, risky, volatile and transactions carried through the Platform are irreversible, final and there are no refunds. You acknowledge and agree that you will access and use the Platform at your own risk. The risk of loss in trading digital assets can be substantial. You should, therefore, carefully consider whether buying or selling digital assets is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources.

Under no circumstances will the operation of all or any portion of the Platform be deemed to create a relationship that includes the provision or tendering of investment advice.

Arbitration Agreement & Waiver of Certain Rights, Including Class Actions

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIM, THE RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN AAA (AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION) RULES, AND THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN REMEDIES AND FORMS OF RELIEF. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR GOLPHERS NFT WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

You Agree to Waive a Jury Trial

• YOU AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF THROUGH COURT PROCEEDINGS. YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO ANY JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM*. All controversies, claims, counterclaims, or other disputes arising between you and Golphers NFT relating to these Terms, the Website, or any Golphers Items shall be submitted for binding arbitration under the Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA Rules”). The arbitration will be heard and determined by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree that the arbitration will be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including, without limitation, any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged and any testimony or other oral submissions and awards) will not be disclosed beyond the arbitration proceedings, except as may lawfully be required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration or by applicable disclosure rules and regulations of securities, regulatory authorities, or other governmental agencies.

This arbitration agreement does not preclude you or Golphers NFT from seeking action by federal, state, or local government agencies. You and Golphers NFT may also bring qualifying claims in small claims court. In addition, you and Golphers NFT retain the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for provisional relief, including pre-arbitral attachments or preliminary injunctions, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with these Terms, nor a waiver of the right to have disputes submitted to arbitration as provided in these Terms.

Arbitration Costs

If you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Golphers NFT will pay as much of the administrative costs and arbitrator fees required for the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the cost of the arbitration from being prohibitive. In the final award, the arbitrator may apportion the costs of arbitration and the compensation of the arbitrator among the parties in such amounts as the arbitrator deems appropriate.

Class Action Waiver

• YOU MAY NOT ACT AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, NOR PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS MEMBER OF ANY CLASS CLAIMANTS WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM. CLAIMS MAY NOT BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS.* You may only bring individual claims, and the arbitrator may only decide individual claims. The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated.

Miscellaneous Terms

These Terms May Change

These Terms may be discretionarily modified or replaced at any time, unless stated otherwise herein. The most current version of this Agreement will be posted on the Website with the “Last Revised” date at the top of the Agreement changed. Any changes or modifications will be effective immediately upon posting the revisions to the Site. You shall be responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any such modifications. You waive any right you may have to receive specific notice of such changes or modifications. Use of the Platform by you after any modification to the Agreement constitutes your acceptance of the Agreement as modified. If you do not agree to the Agreement in effect when you access or use the Platform, we may, at any time and without liability or prior notice, modify or discontinue all or part of the Platform (including access to the Platform via any third-party links).

The Smart Contracts May Change

The User acknowledges that Golphers NFT may modify, change, amend, or replace one or more of the Smart Contracts from time to time. The User agrees that a modification to one or more of the Smart Contracts does not alter any right or obligation conferred by these Terms.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Golphers NFT and its affiliates from and against any and all claims, costs, proceedings, demands, losses, damages, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and legal costs) of any kind or nature, arising from or relating to, any actual or alleged breach of these Terms by you, a co-conspirator, or anyone using your account. If we assume the defense of such a matter, you will reasonably cooperate with us in such defense.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the enforceability of any other provisions.

No Assignment of the Terms

Neither party may assign or transfer any rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, provided that Golphers NFT may assign this Agreement without your prior consent to any of Golphers NFT affiliates, or to its successors in interest of any business associated with the services provided by Golphers NFT. This Agreement shall be binding upon the permitted assigns or transferees of each party.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms will be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any conflict of laws rules or provisions. You agree that any action of whatever nature arising from or relating to these Terms, the Website, or Golphers Items will be filed only in the state or federal courts in California. You consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for any such action. The failure by us to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not prevent us from enforcing such right or provision in the future. We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets or equity, or by operation of law.
