  1. When you sell a Collectible through the Market in accordance with these Terms of Use, the license of the Digital Property in the Collectible (set out in clause 7.12(b)) transfers to the new owner of that Collectible, and your license expires with immediate effect.
  2. The VeVe Licensor’s underlying rights in the Digital Property will be unaffected when you complete a transaction in the Market or Store via the VeVe App or Website. Neither we nor the VeVe Licensor offer to sell or license (except as expressly set out in clause 8) the Intellectual Property Rights in the Digital Property or associated Content. You must notify us immediately if you become aware of any actual or potential breaches of Intellectual Property Rights relating to your Account.
  3. You:
    1. must not modify any Collectible (including, to avoid doubt, the Token or the Digital Property associated with the Collectible);
    2. must not use any Collectible or associated Content to advertise, market or sell a product or service, or as a basis for a securities product;
    3. agree not to remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, service mark, or other proprietary rights notices incorporated in or accompanying the Collectible.
  4. You acknowledge that some VeVe Licensors may in certain circumstances have the right to require that Digital Property containing such VeVe Licensor’s Intellectual Property Rights be transferred to a different platform through which the relevant User will be able to continue to access and use the Digital Property. We may disclose the personal information of any impacted Users to any such VeVe Licensor and any such VeVe Licensor may contact impacted Users for the purpose of enabling the ongoing access and use of the Digital Property.
  5. We may at our discretion offer a loyalty program which gives you certain benefits or rewards if you meet certain criteria. The criteria and other terms of any such loyalty program will be published separately and may be modified by us from time to time. Any benefits or rewards you may receive have no cash value and are non-transferable. Benefits and rewards cannot be exchanged or returned for another product or service, or a monetary refund.
  6. We may at our discretion provide you with the ability to “craft” certain Collectibles. Crafting activities will vary but by way of example may include that if you collect certain Collectibles and choose to craft them, you will receive a new Collectible in the place of an existing Collectible which is burnt and no longer exists. The criteria for and outcome of each individual crafting exercise will be notified to you in conjunction with the crafting activity being made available in the VeVe App. Please ensure you read and understand this information before completing the crafting as the outcome may include permanent changes to your Collectibles such as one or more of your Collectibles (including the Token) being burnt and no longer existing.

DMCA Notice and Procedure for Copyright Infringement Claims

  1. As we ask others to respect our intellectual property rights, we respect the intellectual property rights of others. We, in appropriate circumstances, may remove from the Services information that might infringe the intellectual property rights of others.
    1. Procedure for Reporting Copyright Infringements
      If you believe your work has been used or copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and such infringement is occurring on the VeVe Services, you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") by providing our Designated Agent with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C 512(c)(3) for further detail):
      • An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright's interest;
      • A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, including the URL (i.e., web page address) of the location where the copyrighted work exists or a copy of the copyrighted work;
      • Identification of the URL or other specific location on the VeVe Services where the material that you claim is infringing is located; your address, telephone number, and E-mail address;
      • A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
      • A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.

      You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this section, your DMCA notice may not be valid and we will have no obligation to respond or acknowledge receipt of your notice. Please note that you will be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) if you misrepresent or make bad faith claims that any material on the VeVe Services infringes your copyrights. You can contact our Designated Agent via e-mail at vevelegal@veve.me.

      THE DESIGNATED AGENT SHOULD BE CONTACTED ONLY IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR WORK HAS BEEN USED OR COPIED IN A WAY THAT CONSTITUTES COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT AND SUCH INFRINGEMENT IS OCCURRING ON THE VEVE SERVICES. ALL OTHER INQUIRIES DIRECTED TO THE DESIGNATED AGENT WILL NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE.
    2. Receipt of Proper Infringement Notification
      Once a proper bona fide infringement notification has been received by the Designated Agent, it is VeVe's policy:
      • To remove or disable access to the infringing content;
      • To notify the content provider, member, or user ("Content Provider") that it has removed or disabled access to the content; and
      • That repeat offenders will have the infringing content removed from the system and that we may terminate such Content Provider's access to the VeVe Services.
    3. Procedure to Supply a Counter-Notice to the Designated Agent
      If the Content Provider believes that the content that was removed or to which access was disabled is either not infringing or the Content Provider believes that it has the right to post and use such content, the Content Provider may send the Designated Agent a counter-notice, which must contain the following:
      • Content Provider's contact information, including full legal name (not that of a company) of the submitter, an email address, a physical address, and a phone number.
      • The location, including any URL, of the content that has been removed or disabled.
      • The following statement, to which Content Provider must agree: "I consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the district in which my address is located, or if my address is outside of the United States, the judicial district in which we are located, and will accept service of process from the claimant."
      • The following statement: "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled."
      • A physical or electronic signature. To satisfy this requirement, Content Provider may type the submitter's full legal name (not that of a company) at the bottom of your electronic counter-notification.
      If a counter-notice is received by the Designated Agent, we may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in ten business days.

      If we do not receive notice within ten business days that the original complaining party is seeking a court order to prevent further infringement of the content, we may replace or cease disabling access to the material that was removed. The decision to replace or cease disabling access to any content is at our sole discretion.

8. THE MARKET

  1. When you access and use the Market, we act as an intermediary for Users of the Market to transact, and are not a party to any agreement to buy or sell the Collectibles Listed on the Market. When a User purchases a Collectible and a User agrees to provide that Collectible, they are entering into an agreement directly with each other. We do not act as an agent for any User.
  2. As we are not a party to the transaction, any interaction between you and another User, including any agreement entered into between you and another User, is a matter directly between you and them only. Other than our obligations set out in these Terms of Use, you agree that we:

The price of collectible assets can be volatile and subjective, and we cannot guarantee that any Collectibles purchased will retain any value, which may depend on a number of inherently subjective factors beyond our control, including the desirability of a particular Collectible; and
    5. will not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of other Users (including where another User has attempted to defraud you, doesn’t have the right to sell a Collectible to you, or fails to complete a transaction.)
  3. Listing: Where you list a Collectible for sale in the Market you accept that any sale of the Collectible will be final, and that you will not be able to cancel the sale or retain ownership in the Collectible. You enter into a legally binding contract to purchase a Collectible when you commit to buy a Collectible at the Price, your offer for a Collectible is accepted by the seller for a Price or if you have the winning bid in an auction.
  4. Auctions:
    1. You must only place a bid on an auction if you intend to buy the Collectible at a Price. You cannot revoke a bid once it is placed.
    2. Where a Collectible is sold by auction and you place the winning bid, you will be obliged to complete the purchase of the Collectible at the Price and you will not be able to cancel your offer or negotiate a different Price once your bid has been lodged.
    3. You agree not to engage in any shill bidding (i.e. placing, or organizing someone to place, fake bids to manipulate price, desirability or the search position of your listing).
    4. Where we reasonably believe that you have engaged in shill bidding or you have placed inflated bids that disrupt an auctions or you have placed the winning bid in an auction and do not complete the purchase, we may restrict your access to the Market (or in the case of serious or multiple offences, also in relation to other Services (at our sole discretion)).
  5. Prices specified on the Market are set by the User offering the Collectible for sale. Prices are in Gems. We do not make any warranty or representation that Prices set by Users of the Market are reasonable or reflect the value of a Collectible. We will not provide any refunds or reimbursements for any reason.

We (or we together with a VeVe Licensor or partner) may from time to time run promotions as part of which certain Users will receive a promotional code which can be redeemed by such Users through the Profile section of the App for a free Collectible (as specified by us in relation to the particular promotion).

Any funds that you transfer to your App Wallet, or that are received by us from buyers for the sale of your Collectibles on the Market, will be placed into our bank account or our agent's bank account and held on trust for you on the relevant terms set out in these Terms of Use (less any Fees charged in accordance with these Terms of Use), until you:

  6. You authorize us to deduct our Fees from funds held on trust and retain any interest earned on the funds held on trust.

13. GEMS AND GEM WITHDRAWALS

  1. Our VeVe App uses Gems as its in app currency. Gems in your App Wallet represent your funds that we hold on trust on the relevant terms set out in these Terms of Use. Please note that:

    2. VeVe does not accept or hold deposits from customers and is not a bank.

    5. Gems are a visual representation of your funds that we hold on trust on the relevant terms set out in these Terms of Use. Gems have no use outside of the VeVe App.
  2. Gems may only be purchased through our Services. You may not purchase, sell or otherwise agree to the transfer of Gems "off market". For example, you may not make or accept payment for Gems outside of the VeVe App where the Gems are transferred by way of the sale of a Collectible in the Market. Evidence of engaging in "off market" Gem transactions will include repeated sales and/or purchases of Collectibles at a significantly higher value than what would be expected for such Collectible based on current Market prices.
  3. We may permit a User to withdraw Gems from their App Wallet after we and the Payout Provider complete due diligence on the User. These Users consent to the Payout Provider and VeVe completing due diligence and processing Gem withdrawals. Only Gems in your App Wallet which you received from the sale of your Collectibles in the Market may be withdrawn. Gems you have purchased may only be spent on Collectibles.
  4. If you meet all applicable requirements and are permitted to withdraw Gems, the Gems will in accordance with your instructions be deducted from your App Wallet and the funds we hold on trust that are represented by those Gems will be paid out by the Payout Provider in the available currencies to the account nominated by you. The Payment Provider is wholly responsible for the withdrawal service.
  5. We may refuse, cancel or disable withdrawal requests any time.
  6. Please visit https://www.veve.me/veve-fees for details of the Fees and further conditions and requirements that apply in relation to Gem withdrawals (as updated by us from time to time).

If you have any questions, concerns, disagreements, complaints, disputes, or differences arising out of or in connection with these Terms of Use, please contact us in the first instance and we will endeavour to facilitate a resolution of the relevant question, concern, disagreement, complaint, dispute, or difference.
  3. Any disagreement, complaint, dispute, or difference arising out of or in connection with these Terms of Use must be dealt by us first (in accordance with clauses 21.4 and 21.5) before the User is permitted to take any other action to resolve the disagreement, complaint, dispute, or difference. The User acknowledges that we are not obliged to investigate or follow up a complaint made by one User against another User.
