Terms Of Service
-
Introduction
Welcome to 9fiest. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the 9fiest website(s), our APIs, and any live support, software, tools, features, or functionalities provided on or in connection with our services; including without limitation using our services to view, explore, help display and create NFTs, and using our tools, at your own discretion, to connect directly with others to mint, purchase, sell, or transfer NFTs on public blockchains (collectively, the “Service”). “NFT” in these Terms means a non-fungible token or similar digital item implemented on a blockchain (such as the Ethereum blockchain), which uses smart contracts to link to or otherwise be associated with certain content or data.
For purposes of these Terms, “user”, “you”, and “your” mean you as the user of the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other entity then “you” includes you and that entity, and you represent and warrant that (a) you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind the entity to these Terms, and (b) you agree to these Terms on the entity’s behalf.
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. AS OUTLINED IN SECTION 16 BELOW, THEY INCLUDE A MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER WHICH (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS) REQUIRE ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN US TO BE RESOLVED THROUGH INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN BY A JUDGE OR JURY IN COURT.
BY CLICKING TO ACCEPT, SIGN, AND/OR USING OUR SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND ALL OF THE TERMS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE.
9fiest is not a wallet provider, exchange, broker, dealer, financial institution, payments processor, money services business, or creditor. 9fiest provides a peer-to-peer web3 service that helps users discover and directly interact with each other and NFTs available on public blockchains. We do not have custody or control over the NFTs or blockchains you are interacting with and we do not execute or effectuate purchases, transfers, or sales of NFTs. To use our Service, you must use a third-party wallet which allows you to engage in transactions on blockchains.
9fiest is not party to any agreement between any users. You bear full responsibility for verifying the identity, legitimacy, and authenticity of NFTs that you purchase from third-party sellers using the Service and we make no claims, guarantees, or recommendations about the identity, legitimacy, functionality, or authenticity of users or NFTs (and any content associated with such NFTs) visible on the Service.
Because we have a growing number of services, we sometimes need to provide additional terms for specific services (and such services are deemed part of the “Service” hereunder and shall also be subject to these Terms). Those additional terms and conditions, which are available with the relevant service, then become part of your agreement with us if you use those services. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and any additional applicable terms we may provide for a specific service, such additional terms shall control for that specific service.
9fiest reserves the right to change or modify these Terms at any time and in our sole discretion. If we make material changes to these Terms, we will use reasonable efforts to provide notice of such changes, such as by providing notice through the Service or updating the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of these Terms. By continuing to access or use the Service, you confirm your acceptance of the revised Terms and all of the terms incorporated therein by reference effective as of the date these Terms are updated. It is your sole responsibility to review the Terms from time to time to view such changes and to ensure that you understand the terms and conditions that apply when you access or use the Service.

Accessing the Service
Like much of web3, your blockchain address functions as your identity on 9fiest. Accordingly, you will need a blockchain address and a third-party wallet to access the Service. Your account on the Service (“Account”) will be associated with your blockchain address; however, if you want to add some flair to your 9fiest persona, you can add additional information, such as a profile picture, to your Account.
Your Account on 9fiest will be associated with your linked blockchain address and display the NFTs for that blockchain address (and, if applicable, any content associated with such NFTs). By using your wallet in connection with the Service, you agree that you are using that wallet under the terms and conditions of the applicable provider of the wallet. Wallets are not operated by, maintained by, or affiliated with 9fiest, and 9fiest does not have custody or control over the contents of your wallet and has no ability to retrieve or transfer its contents. 9fiest accepts no responsibility for, or liability to you, in connection with your use of a wallet and makes no representations or warranties regarding how the Service will operate with any specific wallet. You are solely responsible for keeping your wallet secure and you should never share your wallet credentials or seed phrase with anyone. If you discover an issue related to your wallet, please contact your wallet provider. Likewise, you are solely responsible for your Account and any associated wallet and we are not liable for any acts or omissions by you in connection with your Account or as a result of your Account or wallet being compromised. You agree to immediately notify us if you discover or otherwise suspect any security issues related to the Service or your Account (you can contact us here).
You also represent and warrant that you will comply with all applicable laws (e.g., local, state, federal and other laws)in connection with using the Service. In order to comply with our legal obligations and keep our users and platform safe, we may need to restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to the Service. You acknowledge that 9fiest is under no obligation to disclose the details of its decision to take such action with you.
Without limiting the foregoing, by using the Service, you represent and warrant that: (a) you are not located in, ordinarily resident in, or organized under the laws of any jurisdiction that is subject to a comprehensive U.S. Government embargo ("Embargoed Jurisdiction"); (b) you are not subject to any sanctions administered by an agency of the U.S. Government, any other government, or the United Nations (collectively, “Sanctions”); (c) you are not owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by any person that is subject to Sanctions, or that is located in, ordinarily resident in, or organized under the laws of, any Embargoed Jurisdiction; (d) none of your officers, managers, directors, shareholders or authorized representatives is subject to Sanctions, or is located in, ordinarily resident in, or organized under the laws of, any Embargoed Jurisdiction, or is owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by any person that is subject to Sanctions or that is located in, ordinarily resident in, or organized under the laws of, any Embargoed Jurisdiction; (e) you have not transacted and will not transact with any person or entity falling into any of (a)-(d); (f) you have not transacted and will not transact for the benefit of any person or entity falling into any of (a)-(d). You further covenant that the foregoing shall be true during the entire period of this agreement. If you access or use the Service outside the United States, you are solely responsible for ensuring that your access and use of the Service in such country, territory or jurisdiction does not violate any applicable laws.
9fiest may require you to provide additional information and documents in certain circumstances, such as at the request of any government authority, as any applicable law or regulation dictates, to provide you with a requested service, or to investigate a potential violation of these Terms. In such cases, 9fiest, in its sole discretion, may disable your Account and block your ability to access the Service until such additional information and documents are processed by 9fiest. If you do not provide complete and accurate information in response to such a request, 9fiest may refuse to restore your access to the Service.
Your access and use of the Service may be interrupted from time to time for any of several reasons, including, without limitation, the malfunction of equipment, periodic updating, maintenance, or repair of the Service, geographic restrictions, potential violation of these Terms, or other actions that 9fiest, in its sole discretion, may elect to take. You understand that 9fiest, in its sole discretion, may disable your Account and/or reassign your username or associated url.
We require all users to be at least 18 years old. If you are at least 13 years old but under 18 years old, you may only use 9fiest through a parent or guardian’s Account and with their approval and oversight. That account holder is responsible for your actions using the Account. It is prohibited to use our Service if you are under 13 years old.

We and our affiliates, licensors, and users, as applicable, reserve all rights in connection with the Service and its content, including, without limitation, the exclusive right to create derivative works.
9fiest’s name, logo, trademarks, and any 9fiest product or service names, designs, logos, and slogans are the intellectual property of 9fiest or our affiliates or licensors and may not be copied, imitated or used, in whole or in part, without our prior written permission in each instance. You may not use any metatags or other “hidden text” utilizing “9fiest” or any other name, trademark or product or service name of 9fiest or our affiliates or licensors without our prior written permission. In addition, the “look and feel” of the Service constitutes the service mark, trademark or trade dress of 9fiest and may not be copied, imitated or used, in whole or in part, without our prior written permission.
All other third-party trademarks, registered trademarks, and product names mentioned on the Service or contained in the content linked to or associated with any NFTs displayed on the Service are the property of their respective owners and may not be copied, imitated or used, in whole or in part, without the permission of the applicable intellectual property rights holder. Reference to any products, services, processes or other information by name, trademark, manufacturer, supplier or otherwise does not constitute or imply endorsement, sponsorship, or recommendation by 9fiest.
We welcome feedback, comments, and suggestions for improvements to the Service (“Feedback”). You acknowledge and expressly agree that any contribution of Feedback does not and will not give or grant you any right, title, or interest in the Service or in any such Feedback. You agree that 9fiest may use and disclose Feedback in any manner and for any purpose whatsoever without further notice or compensation to you and without retention by you of any proprietary or other right or claim. You hereby assign to 9fiest any and all right, title, and interest (including, but not limited to, any patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark, show-how, know-how, moral rights and any and all other intellectual property right) that you may have in and to any and all Feedback.
9fiest does not have ownership, custody, or control of NFTs or the smart contracts deployed by third parties. Creators of these NFTs or smart contracts are solely responsible for their operation and functionality.

Patnership
Ownership rights still remain to the content creator in all sectors of the web3.
During collaborations between a publisher and a content creator, the content creator receives the full commission from the sales and follows the collaboration agreement between the two parties.
The both agreements should be mutually approved before the collaboration. -
License to Access and Use Our Service and Content
You are hereby granted a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, nonsublicensable, and personal license to access and use the Service provided, however, that such license is subject to your compliance with these Terms. If any software, content, or other materials owned by, controlled by, or licensed to us are distributed or made available to you as part of your use of the Service, we hereby grant you a non-commercial, personal, non-assignable, non-sublicensable, non-transferrable, and non-exclusive right and license to access and display such software, content, and materials provided to you as part of the Service (and right to download a single copy of the App onto your applicable equipment or device), in each case for the sole purpose of enabling you to use the Service as permitted by these Terms, provided that your license in any content linked to or associated with any NFTs is solely as set forth by the applicable seller or creator of such NFT. -
Third-Party Content, Agreements, and Services
As a peer-to-peer web3 service, 9fiest helps you explore NFTs created by third parties and interact with different blockchains. 9fiest does not make any representations or warranties about this third-party content visible through our Service, including any content associated with NFTs displayed on the Service, and you bear responsibility for verifying the legitimacy, authenticity, and legality of NFTs that you purchase from third-party sellers. We also cannot guarantee that any NFTs visible on 9fiest will always remain visible and/or available to be bought, sold, or transferred. Users are solely responsible for any content related to their NFTs.
These Terms solely govern the use of our Service. NFTs are available on public blockchains, are purchased, sold, or transferred between a buyer, seller and/or creator directly, and may be purchased, sold, or transferred by buyers, sellers, and/or creators without the use of our Service and therefore without agreeing to our Terms. There may be terms and conditions that apply to the NFTs' themselves set directly between buyers, sellers, and/or creators with respect to the NFT including with respect to the use of the NFT content and rights and obligations associated with a given NFT ("NFT Terms"). For example, when you click to get more details about any of the NFTs or NFT collections visible on 9fiest or view the NFT metadata, you may notice a third-party link to NFT Terms governing the use of the NFT that you will be required to comply with. 9fiest does not set the NFT Terms and is not party to any such NFT Terms, which are solely between the buyer, seller, and/or creator. The buyer, seller, and/or creator are entirely responsible for communicating, promulgating, agreeing to, and enforcing NFT Terms. You are responsible for reviewing such NFT Terms.
Sellers are solely responsible for determining and establishing the price of an NFT, inclusive of any applicable tax. Additionally, to the extent applicable, they are solely responsible for any mint count and minting mechanics for NFTs they sell.
For its Service, 9fiest may receive certain fees. 9fiest does not set, collect, or determine other applicable costs, fees, and expenses associated with buying and selling an NFT, including but not limited to any creator earnings, gas, or transaction fees. These costs, fees, and expenses are paid directly to the seller, creator, payment processor, blockchain validator, or other third party, as applicable. Because these costs, fees, and expenses are not collected by 9fiest, it cannot refund them.
The Service may also contain links or functionality to access or use third-party websites (“Third-Party Websites”) and applications (“Third-Party Applications”), or otherwise display, include, or make available content, data, information, services, applications, or materials from third parties (“Third-Party Materials”). When you click on a link to, or access and use, a Third-Party Website or Third-Party Application, though we may not warn you that you have left our Service, you are subject to the terms and conditions (including privacy policies) of another website or destination. Such Third-Party Websites, Third-Party Applications, and Third-Party Materials are not under the control of 9fiest, and may be “open” applications for which no recourse is possible. 9fiest is not responsible or liable for any Third-Party Websites, Third-Party Applications, and Third-Party Materials. 9fiest provides links to these Third-Party Websites and Third-Party Applications only as a convenience and does not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to Third-Party Websites or Third-Party Applications, or their products or services or associated Third-Party Materials. You use all links in Third-Party Websites, Third-Party Applications, and Third-Party Materials at your own risk.

We may also send you promotional communications via email we think will be of interest to you. You understand that you are not required to provide this consent as a condition of using the Service and you may opt out of these communications through the Service or through your mobile device’s operating system (with the possible exception of important service announcements and administrative messages) by following the unsubscribe instructions provided or through your Account settings. -

You agree to promptly notify 9fiest of any Claims and cooperate with the 9fiest Parties in defending such Claims. You further agree that the 9fiest Parties shall have control of the defense or settlement of any Claims. THIS INDEMNITY IS IN ADDITION TO, AND NOT IN LIEU OF, ANY OTHER INDEMNITIES SET FORTH IN A WRITTEN AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND 9fiest. -

Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information about how we collect, use, and share information from and/or about you ("Your Information"). By submitting Your Information through our Service, you agree to the terms of our Privacy Policy and you expressly consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of Your Information in accordance with the Privacy Policy. -
Termination
If you breach any of the provisions of these Terms, all licenses granted by 9fiest will terminate automatically. Additionally, notwithstanding anything contained in these Terms, we reserve the right, with or without notice and in our sole discretion, to suspend, restrict, disable, terminate, or delete your Account and/or your ability to access or use the Service (or any part of the foregoing) at any time and for any or no reason, and you acknowledge and agree that we shall have no liability or obligation to you in such event and that you will not be entitled to a refund of any amounts that you have already paid to us. If we terminate your Account or restrict your access or use of the Service, you retain ownership of your NFTs. You may still access your NFTs through public blockchains and other web3 wallets, platforms, and/or websites.
