If You are obligated to indemnify any Indemnitee, The Metaplex Foundation (or, at its discretion, the applicable Indemnitee) will have the right, in its sole discretion, to control any legal action or proceeding arising therefrom.
Disclaimer and Disclosures
The Metaplex Foundation does not operate an exchange platform of any kind nor does The Metaplex Foundation offer trade execution, custody, money transmission, or clearing services with respect to assets of any kind, and therefore has no oversight, involvement, or control with respect to Your transactions pursuant to the Sites or Services or any Network. You are responsible for complying with all Applicable Law and regulations applicable to Your transactions and for the secure treatment of Your property. The Metaplex Foundation is not responsible for operation of the underlying protocols or Networks, and The Metaplex Foundation makes no guarantee of their functionality, security, or availability.
To the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law, the Sites and the Services (and any of their content or functionality) provided by or on behalf of Us are provided on an “AS IS” basis, and We expressly disclaim, and You hereby waive, any representations, conditions or warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, legal, statutory or otherwise, or arising from statute, otherwise in law, course of dealing, or usage of trade, including, without limitation, the implied or legal warranties and conditions of merchantability, quality or fitness for a particular purpose, title, security, availability, reliability, accuracy, quiet enjoyment and non-infringement of third party rights. Without limiting the foregoing, We do not represent or warrant that the Sites or the Services (including any related data) will be uninterrupted, available at any particular time or error-free. We do not warrant that errors in the Sites or the Service are correctable or will be corrected beyond good faith measures by Us, to the extent possible and practical.
You acknowledge that Your data on the Sites or through the Services may become permanently lost or corrupted or temporarily unavailable due to a variety of causes, and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law, We will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by denial-of-service attacks, 51% attacks, software or data failures or manipulation, lost private or public keys, viruses or other technologically harmful materials (including those which may infect Your equipment or software), protocol changes by third party providers, outages, force majeure events or other disasters, scheduled or unscheduled maintenance, or other causes either within or outside Our control.
Limitation of Damages and Liability
The Metaplex Foundation, together with any Indemnitee, shall not in any event be liable for any incidental, indirect, special, punitive, exemplary, consequential or similar damages or liabilities whatsoever (including, without limitation, damages for loss of data, information, revenue or other business or financial benefit) arising out of or in connection with any of the Sites and/or Services (and any of their content and functionality), any execution or settlement of a transaction, any performance or non-performance of the Services, Your Network assets, other digital assets or any other product, service or other item provided by or on behalf of an Indemnitee, whether under contract, tort (including negligence), civil liability, statute, strict liability, breach of warranties, or under any other theory of liability, and whether or not any Indemnitee has been advised of, knew of or should have known of the possibility of such damages and notwithstanding any failure of the essential purpose of these Terms or any limited remedy nor is The Metaplex Foundation in any way responsible for the execution or settlement of transactions between users of the Services. Absent a written mutually signed agreement with The Metaplex Foundation or any Indemnitee, You do not have privity of contract with The Metaplex Foundation or any applicable Indemnitee for Your particular use of a publicly accessible Service, including but not limited to any of the Services which are not substantially controlled by The Metaplex Foundation (including but not limited to smart contracts deployed on a Network, algorithmic or automatic or functionally autonomous software, or any other software deployed upon, hosted upon, or substantially dependent upon an unaffiliated person or Network or other decentralised software).
In no event will the Indemnitees' aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the Sites and the Services (and any of their content and functionality), any performance or non-performance of the Services, Your Network assets, other digital assets or any other product, service or other item provided by or on behalf of an Indemnitee, whether under contract, tort (including negligence), civil liability, statute, strict liability or other theory of liability exceed the amount of the fees paid by You to us under these Terms in the one year period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim for liability.
Waiver
To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, in consideration for being allowed to use any of the Sites and the Services, You hereby release and forever discharge The Metaplex Foundation and all Indemnitees from, and hereby waive and relinquish, each and every past, present and future dispute, claim, controversy, demand, right, obligation, liability, action and cause of action of every kind and nature (including economic loss, personal injuries, death, and property damage), that has arisen or arises directly or indirectly out of, or that relates directly or indirectly to, any of the Sites and/or the Services (including any interactions with, or act or omission of, other Sites, Services, or Metaplex Foundation software users or any third-party services).
Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
These terms require You to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with The Metaplex Foundation and limit the manner in which You can seek relief from us, unless You opt out of arbitration by following the instructions set forth below. In addition, arbitration precludes You from suing in court or having a jury trial. You and The Metaplex Foundation agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services is personal to You and The Metaplex Foundation and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.
For any dispute or claim that You may have against The Metaplex Foundation, You agree to first contact The Metaplex Foundation and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of Your claim (“Notice”) to The Metaplex Foundation by email at ops@metaplex.foundation. The Metaplex Foundation will similarly contact You in the event that We have any dispute or claim against You.
The Notice must include Your name, email address, and telephone number, describe the nature and basis of the claim and set forth the specific relief sought. Our notice to You will be similar in form to that described above. If You and The Metaplex Foundation cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, then either party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those Rules, as available on the JAMS website and hereby incorporated by reference. All disputes submitted to JAMS will be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration seated in the Cayman Islands before one arbitrator. You acknowledge and agree that You have read and understand the JAMS Rules or waive Your opportunity to read the JAMS Rules and waive any claim that the JAMS Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
The arbitrator, The Metaplex Foundation, and You will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including, but not limited to, all information gathered, prepared and presented in relation to the disputes. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary. The duty of confidentiality does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision. You and The Metaplex Foundation agree that for any arbitration You initiate, You will pay the filing fee and You and The Metaplex Foundation will evenly split the remaining JAMS fees and costs. Each party will otherwise be responsible for their own costs with respect to dispute resolution.
Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services must be filed within one year after the nexus for such claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, which means that You or The Metaplex Foundation, as applicable, will not have the right to assert the claim. It is expressly agreed between The Metaplex Foundation and you to disapply the provisions of the Limitation Act (as amended) in this regard.
YOU AND THE METAPLEX FOUNDATION AGREE THAT EACH 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. Further, unless both You and The Metaplex Foundation agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Severability and Governing Law
If any portion of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from these Terms, and the severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will have no impact whatsoever on the remainder or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis. To the extent that any such severance means that claims must proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims will be stayed pending the final outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.
The interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and any dispute related to these Terms, the Sites or the Services, will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands, as applicable, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles. You agree that We may initiate a proceeding related to the enforcement or validity of our intellectual property rights in any court having jurisdiction. With respect to any other proceeding that is not subject to arbitration under these Terms, the courts located in the Cayman Islands will have exclusive jurisdiction. You waive any objection to venue in such courts.
Miscellaneous
Any right or remedy of The Metaplex Foundation set forth in these Terms is in addition to any other right or remedy whether described in these Terms, under Applicable Law, at law or in equity. Our failure or delay in exercising any right, power, or privilege under these Terms will not operate as a waiver thereof. The illegality or unenforceability of any of these Terms will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other of these Terms, all of which will remain in full force and effect. We will have no responsibility or liability for any failure or delay in performance of the Sites or any of the Services, or any loss or damage that You may incur, due to any circumstance or event beyond our control, including without limitation any natural disaster or other act of God, fire, pandemic or infectious disease, war, insurrection, riot, accident, governmental condition or prohibition, communications failure, power failure, or equipment or software malfunction. You may not assign or transfer any right to use any of the Sites or the Services, or any of Your rights or obligations under these Terms, without our express prior written consent, including by operation of law or in connection with any change of control. We may assign or transfer any of our rights or obligations under these Terms, in whole or in part, without notice or obtaining Your consent or approval. Each Service which is factually and legally controlled by The Metaplex Foundation or its agent is domiciled at The Metaplex Foundation’s registered office address in the Cayman Islands, including but not limited to those Services deployed or substantially reliant upon a Network. Headings of sections are for convenience only and will not be used to limit or construe such sections. These Terms contain the entire agreement and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings between You and The Metaplex Foundation regarding the Sites and the Services. If there is a conflict between these Terms and any other agreement You may have with The Metaplex Foundation, these Terms will control unless the other agreement specifically identifies these Terms and declares that the other agreement supersedes these Terms.
Third Party Rights
Any Indemnitee not being a party to these Terms, may enforce any rights granted to it pursuant to these Terms in its own right as if it were a party to these Terms. Except as expressly provided in the preceding sentence, a person who is not a party to these Terms shall not have any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act (as amended) to enforce any term of these Terms. Notwithstanding any term or provision of these Terms, the consent of or notice to any person who is not a party to these Terms shall not be required for any termination, rescission or agreement to any variation, waiver, assignment, novation, release or settlement under these Terms at any time.
Notices and Communications
You consent to receive all communications, invoices, notices, and disclosures electronically (collectively, our “Communications”) that We provide in connection with these Terms or any Services. You agree that We may provide our Communications to You by posting them on any of the Sites or through the Services or by emailing them to You at any email address You provide in connection with using the Services. You may also contact us to request additional electronic copies of our Communications by filing a support request at ops@metaplex.foundation.
