In the event of Account closure, to the maximum extent permitted by law, you irrevocably agree to transfer to us without compensation legal and/or beneficial ownership (as the case may be) to any Funds (including Gems) and Collectibles held within the relevant Account at any time at our option without notice following such Account closure.

Collectibles

You acknowledge and agree that the Intellectual Property Rights in all Collectibles remain with the relevant VeVe Licensor. When you buy a Collectible using the Market or the Store:
1. You are buying the Token associated with the relevant Collectible through a transaction recording your ownership thereof on our nominated blockchain that includes a limited license to the Digital Property derived from the Intellectual Property Rights of the VeVe Licensor to the extent that, if you own the Token, you can access the Digital Property through the Token pursuant to these Terms of Use.
2. We grant you, for so long as you own that Collectible, a personal, non-commercial, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as specifically provided in this clause), non-sublicensable, revocable, limited license to download, view, display, and use the Digital Property in that Collectible and its associated Content solely for your permitted use within the VeVe App, Showroom and Market, including reselling the Collectible on the Market in accordance with these Terms of Use and in accordance with the following terms and conditions:
  1. You agree that you will not, nor permit any third party to: (a) modify the Digital Property in any way; (b) use the Digital Property to advertise, market, or sell any third party product or service; (c) use the Digital Property in connection with images, videos, or other forms of media that depict hatred, intolerance, violence, cruelty, political matters, X-rated material, or anything else that could reasonably be found to constitute hate speech, infringe upon the rights of others, generally be considered untrue, defamatory, obscene, profane or indecent, or otherwise harm or be reasonably likely to harm VeVe’s (or any of VeVe Licensor’s) names, brands or reputation; (d) use the Digital Property in movies, videos, or any other forms of media, including without limitation the creation or minting of any new non-fungible tokens; (e) sell, distribute for commercial gain (including, without limitation, giving away in the hopes of eventual commercial gain), or otherwise commercialize merchandise that includes, contains, or consists of Digital Property; (f) attempt to trademark, copyright, or otherwise acquire any intellectual property rights in or to the Digital Property; or (g) otherwise utilize the Digital Property for your or any third party’s commercial benefit or personal gain (e.g. crowd-funding or similar activities).
  2. This limited license applies only to the extent that you continue to own the Token.
  3. You also agree to comply with all applicable law in using, selling, or transferring the Token and your use of the associated Digital Property.
  4. If at any time you sell, swap, donate, give away, transfer, or otherwise dispose of your Token for any reason through any means, your rights under this limited license will immediately be revoked and expire with respect to the Digital Property associated with this Token without the requirement of notice, and you will have no further rights in or to such Digital Property.
  5. Any violation of the terms of this limited license automatically voids the rights granted to you hereby.
  6. You acknowledge and agree that as between you and VeVe or the VeVe Licensors, VeVe or the VeVe Licensors own or control all legal right, title and interest in and to the Digital Property and all Intellectual Property Rights therein. The rights that you have in and to the Digital Property are limited to those described in this limited license. Except as specifically provided in this limited license, you will have no rights in or to the Digital Property.
  7. You also understand and agree that neither VeVe nor any of the VeVe Licensors are liable in case of any inability for you to access the Digital Property for any reason, including as a result of any downtime, failure, obsolescence, removal, termination or other disruption relating to the storage of or access to any Digital Property. VeVe may use or implement technical measures with respect to the security of the Digital Property and you will not take any action to interfere with, circumvent, disable or otherwise obstruct any such security-related features or other digital rights management functions associated with the Digital Property or reverse engineer or take any other action that may affect the technology associated therewith.
3. For the avoidance of doubt, your ownership, possession or control of a Token does not provide you any ownership, copyright, title or similar interest in any Digital Property.
4. Each VeVe Licensor is a third party beneficiary of these Terms of Use, and, upon your acceptance, every VeVe Licensor as a third party beneficiary thereof will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms of Use against you.
5. Your ownership of a Collectible does not include any rights to the Digital Property except as expressly provided in these Terms of Use.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

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

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.
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:
1. are not liable to you for the accuracy of any Listing, or any failure by a User to comply with these Terms of Use or any other legal obligation;
2. are not liable or responsible for any guarantees or assurances made by the seller of any listing on the VeVe App;
3. have not made, and do not make any representation, guarantee or warranty that any Collectible will meet your requirements or expectations;
4. are not liable or responsible for any increase or decrease in value of any Collectible. We have not made, and do not make, any promises (whether explicit, implied or otherwise) as to the value of any Collectible, including whether the value of the Collectible will increase or decrease in the future. 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.)
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.
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)).
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.

9. THE STORE

Subject to you paying the Price for the Collectible, when you purchase a Collectible from the Store, you purchase the Token associated with that Collectible in accordance with clause 7.12.
We may withhold a certain number of units of each set of Collectibles we release in the Store for uses such as marketing and promotional activities.

10. PROMOTIONAL CODES

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). The terms may vary between promotions and will be notified at the time of each promotion.

12. FEES AND PAYMENT

Payments for Collectibles (through both the Store and Market) can be made with Gems
Payments for Gems can be made:
1. through the Website using credit cards (or other payment methods approved by us); or
2. through the VeVe mobile application using Apple or Google's in app payment services.
Prices for Collectibles are in Gems.
You will be charged the Price (including any Fees set out on our Fees page https://www.veve.me/veve-fees) for any Collectibles purchased either from the Store or from the Market. Any purchases made on our Services (for Collectibles, premium content, features, Gems or otherwise) are final and non-refundable, and you are advised to double check before making any purchases.
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:
1. use the funds to pay for Collectibles or Services on the VeVe App; or
2. instruct us to transfer the funds to your nominated bank account.
You authorize us to deduct our Fees from funds held on trust and retain any interest earned on the funds held on trust.
There is no charge for downloading our VeVe App but you will need an internet connection. You are responsible for all associated charges from your internet or mobile network providers.
By using our Services, you accept that it is your responsibility to calculate and pay:
1. any taxes applicable to any transactions you conduct on our Services. We accept no responsibility for, nor make any representation in respect of, your tax liability;
2. any fees associated with your payment method of choice; and
3. any currency conversion fees.
We may change, modify or increase the Fees we charge for our Services from time to time by giving 30 days' notice. We will notify you of any increase and the effective date of the increase by emailing you at the email contact address that you have most recently supplied to us. If you do not wish to pay the increased Fees, you may request removal of your Account. If you do not remove your Account before the effective date of the increase, you are deemed to have accepted the increased Fees.
Banks and other credit or debit card issuers may offer a dispute process for credit or debit card payments. If your bank or issuer determines that a transaction on the Market should be refunded (a Chargeback) and you are the seller, we will give effect to the Chargeback by debiting your App Wallet. Where we give effect to the Chargeback, you agree to indemnify us against any costs incurred as a result of the Chargeback, and authorize us to debit your App Wallet for the amount of any such costs. If your App Wallet contains insufficient funds for the Chargeback or our costs and we are unable to debit your App Wallet, this will create a debt between us and you and we may restrict some VeVe App functionality.

13. GEMS AND GEM WITHDRAWALS

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:
1. Gems are not securities.
2. VeVe does not accept or hold deposits from customers and is not a bank.
3. VeVe does not insure customer funds it holds (or the Collectibles themselves).
4. VeVe is not a money transmitter under any law. We work with appropriate third parties who process payments for Gems and Gem withdrawals.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We may refuse, cancel or disable withdrawal requests any time.
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).
We are using a phased approach for the beta rollout of Gem withdrawals meaning the Gems withdrawals are only available to Users selected by us for the particular phase.

14. TRUST TERMS

Where the Trustee revokes the trust arrangements or appoints a substitute trustee, the Trustee shall notify the User and take all steps that may be necessary to transfer legal title to the Funds to the User (subject to the Terms of Use including the User's compliance with any withdrawal requirements including under clause 13) or a substitute trustee appointed pursuant to these Terms of Use.
In consideration of the Trustee holding the Funds on behalf of the User on the terms set out in these Terms of Use, the User hereby, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless the Trustee and undertakes to keep the Trustee at all times fully and effectively indemnified from and against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, liability or other amounts (Liability) imposed on, sustained, incurred, suffered by, or asserted against the Trustee however and whenever arising directly or indirectly from the execution or non-execution by the Trustee of any powers set out in these Terms of Use except where such Liability arises as a result of gross negligence, fraud or wilful misconduct by the Trustee in its capacity as Trustee.

15. DEATH

In the event that VeVe is notified of the User's death, VeVe has the right to suspend the User's Account pending VeVe's determination of the User's executor(s) or administrator(s), heir(s), beneficiary or beneficiaries, successor(s), personal representative(s) or such other person(s) entitled to deal with or benefit under the User's estate pursuant to these Terms of Use.
Prior to the User’s death, the User may unconditionally and irrevocably instruct VeVe to transfer the User’s Gems and Collectibles to a specified person in the event of the User’s death (Nominated Beneficiary) by completing the prescribed requirements through the VeVe App. VeVe may, upon receipt of evidence of the User’s death but subject to the Nominated Beneficiary registering a new Account in compliance with these Terms of Use (including verifying their identity satisfactorily to VeVe at its sole discretion), and subject to clauses 15.5 and 15.6 and any other terms within the Terms of Use, transfer the User’s Gems and Collectibles to the Nominated Beneficiary. In the event that the Nominated Beneficiary is unable to claim the User’s Gems and Collectibles due to the death or incapacity of a Nominated Beneficiary, clause 15.3 will apply in respect of the User’s Gems and Collectibles notwithstanding the nomination by the User of a Nominated Beneficiary.
VeVe may, upon receipt of evidence of the User's death, evidence of a grant of probate or administration of the User's estate (or equivalent) in accordance with the laws of Singapore, New Zealand or other relevant laws, and/or any other matters, documents or evidence necessary or satisfactory to VeVe at its sole discretion, and subject to clauses 15.5 and 15.6, the relevant executor(s) or administrator(s), heir(s), beneficiary or beneficiaries, successor(s), personal representative(s) or such other person(s) entitled to deal with or benefit under the User's estate verifying their identity satisfactorily to VeVe at its sole discretion and complying with any other terms within the Terms of Use, transfer any Gems and Collectibles held in the relevant User’s Account to such person (Specified Beneficiary) authorised by the relevant executor(s) or administrator(s), heir(s), beneficiary or beneficiaries, successor(s), personal representative(s) or such other person(s) entitled to deal with or benefit under the User's estate as authorized by the relevant grant of probate or administration of the User's estate in accordance with the laws of Singapore, New Zealand, or other relevant laws, provided that the Specified Beneficiary has registered a new Account in compliance with these Terms of Use (including verifying their identity satisfactorily to VeVe at its sole discretion).
The User hereby irrevocably and unconditionally nominates VeVe to be the User’s true and lawful attorney for the purposes of taking all necessary steps in transferring any Gems and Collectibles held in the relevant User’s Account (and/or completing any other outstanding matters in relation to the relevant User’s Account) to the User’s Nominated Beneficiary as authorised by the User pursuant to clause 15.2 or the relevant Specified Beneficiary as authorised by the User’s relevant executor(s) or administrator(s), heir(s), beneficiary or beneficiaries, successor(s), personal representative(s) or such other person(s) entitled to deal with or benefit under the User's estate as authorised by the relevant grant of probate or administration of the User's estate in accordance with the laws of Singapore, New Zealand or other relevant laws pursuant to this clause 15, on terms set out in these Terms of Use.
VeVe and the Trustee take no responsibility and have no liability in relation to the administration, transmission or transfer of the User's estate to the User’s Nominated Beneficiary as authorised by the User pursuant to clause 15.2 or the relevant Specified Beneficiary as authorised by the User’s relevant executor(s) or administrator(s), heir(s), beneficiary or beneficiaries, successor(s), personal representative(s) or such other person(s) entitled to deal with or benefit under the User's estate in accordance with the laws of Singapore, New Zealand, or other relevant laws, pursuant to this clause 15. VeVe and/or the Trustee shall effect the relevant transfer of User's Gems and Collectibles, on the basis that the User and the relevant executor(s) or administrator(s), heir(s), beneficiary or beneficiaries, successor(s), personal representative(s) or such other person(s) entitled to deal with or benefit under the User's estate (including the Nominated Beneficiary and/or the Specified Beneficiary to the extent of the value of Gems and Collectibles received), are deemed to have agreed to indemnify (jointly and severally) VeVe and the Trustee for any present or future costs, expenses, Loss and losses, damages, liability, penalties, or taxes that may arise as a result of, or in connection with, the administration, transmission or transfer of the User's Gems and Collectibles to the User’s Nominated Beneficiary as authorised by the User pursuant to clause 15.2 or the relevant Specified Beneficiary as authorised by the User’s relevant executor(s) or administrator(s), heir(s), beneficiary or beneficiaries, successor(s), personal representative(s) or such other person(s) entitled to deal with or benefit under the User's estate in accordance with the laws of Singapore, New Zealand, or other relevant laws, pursuant to this clause 15, on the terms set out in these Terms of Use.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms of Use, VeVe and/or the Trustee have the right to retain, withhold or deduct any such amount of Gems or Funds that VeVe and/or the Trustee deem necessary to protect VeVe and/or the Trustee against any present or future costs, expenses, Loss or losses, damages, liability (whether actual, potential, or contingent), penalties, or taxes that may arise as a result of the User's death, and apply such Funds in any manner the Trustee sees fit at its sole discretion.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the User agrees that if, within 24 months from VeVe being notified of such User's death, there is no person identified (including any Nominated Beneficiary or Specified Beneficiary) to whom the Trustee may, without contravention of any applicable law, transfer the Funds corresponding to such deceased User’s Gems, then the beneficial interest in such Funds shall be transferred to the Reserve Beneficiary for the Reserve Beneficiary to use as it deems fit, and the Reserve Beneficiary shall thereafter be deemed the “Beneficiary” for the purposes of these Terms of Use.

16. SECURITY

While we take all reasonable steps to ensure that your Collectibles and User Content are secure, you are responsible for the security and system integrity of your Account, Device and your associated connection to the internet. You acknowledge and agree all Collectibles are associated with Tokens on our nominated blockchain, a distributed ledger network operated by several parties independent to us. The security of the Collectibles depends on the security of the network. You accept and consent to us deciding which Collectibles will become associated with Tokens on another network in our discretion. The security of the Collectibles would depend on the security of that network.
You must exercise every possible care to ensure the safety of your Account and Device by taking all reasonable care to prevent loss, theft, unauthorized, criminal or fraudulent use. That includes:
1. not allowing anyone else to use your Device;
2. keeping your login details secret and unique;

21. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

(Save for clauses 13 to 15 and any other provision of these Terms of Use that relate to the establishment and maintenance of the Trust described in clause 14, for which such clauses and provisions relating to such Trust shall be governed by the laws of Singapore) these Terms of Use and any dispute arising out of or in relation to them shall be governed by the laws of New Zealand.
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.
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.
Following the receipt of a notice notifying VeVe of a User's disagreement, complaint, dispute, or difference, VeVe and the User will attempt to resolve this in good faith within 30 days of notification by the User. VeVe will notify the User the outcome of the disagreement, complaint, dispute, or difference as soon as an outcome is determined by VeVe. If you do not agree with the outcome as determined by VeVe, you may take such other action to resolve the dispute as permitted under these Terms of Use.
When determining the outcome of your disagreement, complaint, dispute, or difference, VeVe may take into account any factors that VeVe considers relevant in the circumstances, including without limitation, the fundamental objectives of the VeVe App set out in clause 6.8.
To the fullest extent permissible by law, subject to clause 21.2 to 21.5 and 21.8 below, you and us agree that any dispute or disagreement arising out of or in connection with these Terms of Use will be settled by arbitration as follows:
1. the arbitration will be administered by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre ("SIAC") in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre ("SIAC Rules") current at the time the arbitration is commenced
2. the Tribunal shall consist of a sole arbitrator
3. the seat of the arbitration shall be Singapore
4. the language of the arbitration shall be English
5. the law applicable to this arbitration agreement and arbitral proceedings shall be New Zealand law.

For the avoidance of doubt, anything within clauses 21.1 to 21.9 (including the above arbitration agreement) does not prevent us from seeking injunctive or other urgent relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the breach of these Terms of Use and/or infringement or misappropriation of our or our licensors' intellectual property rights.
If you are located in a jurisdiction in which an arbitration agreement is not enforceable then the parties agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts to resolve any dispute.

We reserve the right to add, vary or otherwise change these Terms of Use at any time. We will publish the most recent version of the Terms of Use on the VeVe App.

Except as expressly set forth in these Terms of Use, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms of Use will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms of Use or otherwise.
Our shareholders, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures, and employees will have the benefit of our rights, powers and protections in these Terms of Use and any one of them can enforce any of our rights, powers and protections as if they were a party to these Terms of Use.
Nothing in these Terms of Use shall be deemed or is intended to be deemed, nor shall it cause, either you or us to be treated as partners, joint ventures or as the agent of the other.
Neither us, nor any user of our Services, nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering our Services shall be liable for any failure to perform its obligations under these Terms of Use to the extent caused by Force Majeure provided that the affected party:

In the event that you purchase any Collectibles through the VeVe App in a manner that is in breach of these Terms of Use (for example, the use of a bot, emulator or other tool described in clause 6.1(o)) (Illegitimate Collectibles), in addition to our other rights under these Terms of Use, we may confiscate the Illegitimate Collectibles from you and you will receive no compensation. If you have already sold or transferred the Illegitimate Collectibles to another User, we may deduct from your Account the equivalent value of Gems or confiscate from your Account the equivalent value of other Collectibles and you will receive no compensation. For such purpose, the equivalent value in circumstances where the Illegitimate Collectibles have been sold shall be based on the sale price of the Illegitimate Collectibles or the Market value of the Illegitimate Collectibles at the relevant time (whichever is the higher) or where the Illegitimate Collectibles were transferred, the Market value of the Illegitimate Collectibles at the relevant time.
In the event of Account closure, to the maximum extent permitted by law, you irrevocably agree to transfer to us without compensation any Collectibles held within the relevant Account at any time at our option without notice following such Account closure. You irrevocably appoint us as your lawful attorney to effect any such transfer including executing any documentation or taking any other steps that may be necessary to give effect to clause 6.4 or this clause 6.5.
You indemnify us against all Loss you suffer or incur as a direct or indirect result of:
1. any actual or alleged claim by a third party that any User Content infringes the rights of that third party (including Intellectual Property Rights and privacy rights) or that any User Content is Objectionable, incorrect or misleading;
2. your failure to comply with these Terms of Use, including any failure of a person who accesses and uses the Services by using your Account; or
3. any Loss arising from or in connection with an actual or alleged breach by you of any legal or regulatory requirements which occurs in connection with a contract between you and any other user or as a result of any other relationship established through the Services.
You acknowledge and agree that all the terms of these Terms of Use, including but not limited to clauses 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 13.5, 14.5, 15.4, 18.2, 18.3 and 18.6 are fair and reasonable, taking into account the legitimate interests of VeVe and the VeVe ecosystem, and the relevant fundamental objectives of the VeVe App as agreed under clause 6.8.
The User acknowledges that the fundamental objectives of the VeVe App include but are not limited to:
1. facilitating primary purchasing and secondary trading of Collectibles through the Services in a safe, equitable, fair and reliable environment that is materially free, to the fullest extent possible, from hacking, botting and other activities deemed illegitimate pursuant to these Terms of Use;
2. ensuring each User has a fair opportunity to participate in primary purchasing and secondary trading of Collectibles; and
3. safeguarding the structural and operational integrity of the Services, including the Software, Underlying Systems, Digital Property and any other Intellectual Property.

Collectibles

You acknowledge and agree that the Intellectual Property Rights in all Collectibles remain with the relevant VeVe Licensor. When you buy a Collectible using the Market or the Store:
1. You are buying the Token associated with the relevant Collectible through a transaction recording your ownership thereof on our nominated blockchain that includes a limited license to the Digital Property derived from the Intellectual Property Rights of the VeVe Licensor to the extent that, if you own the Token, you can access the Digital Property through the Token pursuant to these Terms of Use.
2. We grant you, for so long as you own that Collectible, a personal, non-commercial, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as specifically provided in this clause), non-sublicensable, revocable, limited license to download, view, display, and use the Digital Property in that Collectible and its associated Content solely for your permitted use within the VeVe App, Showroom and Market, including reselling the Collectible on the Market in accordance with these Terms of Use and in accordance with the following terms and conditions:
  1. You agree that you will not, nor permit any third party to: (a) modify the Digital Property in any way; (b) use the Digital Property to advertise, market, or sell any third party product or service; (c) use the Digital Property in connection with images, videos, or other forms of media that depict hatred, intolerance, violence, cruelty, political matters, X-rated material, or anything else that could reasonably be found to constitute hate speech, infringe upon the rights of others, generally be considered untrue, defamatory, obscene, profane or indecent, or otherwise harm or be reasonably likely to harm VeVe’s (or any of VeVe Licensor’s) names, brands or reputation; (d) use the Digital Property in movies, videos, or any other forms of media, including without limitation the creation or minting of any new non-fungible tokens; (e) sell, distribute for commercial gain (including, without limitation, giving away in the hopes of eventual commercial gain), or otherwise commercialize merchandise that includes, contains, or consists of Digital Property; (f) attempt to trademark, copyright, or otherwise acquire any intellectual property rights in or to the Digital Property; or (g) otherwise utilize the Digital Property for your or any third party’s commercial benefit or personal gain (e.g. crowd-funding or similar activities).
  2. This limited license applies only to the extent that you continue to own the Token.
  3. You also agree to comply with all applicable law in using, selling, or transferring the Token and your use of the associated Digital Property.
  4. If at any time you sell, swap, donate, give away, transfer, or otherwise dispose of your Token for any reason through any means, your rights under this limited license will immediately be revoked and expire with respect to the Digital Property associated with this Token without the requirement of notice, and you will have no further rights in or to such Digital Property.
  5. Any violation of the terms of this limited license automatically voids the rights granted to you hereby.
  6. You acknowledge and agree that as between you and VeVe or the VeVe Licensors, VeVe or the VeVe Licensors own or control all legal right, title and interest in and to the Digital Property and all Intellectual Property Rights therein. The rights that you have in and to the Digital Property are limited to those described in this limited license. Except as specifically provided in this limited license, you will have no rights in or to the Digital Property.
  7. You also understand and agree that neither VeVe nor any of the VeVe Licensors are liable in case of any inability for you to access the Digital Property for any reason, including as a result of any downtime, failure, obsolescence, removal, termination or other disruption relating to the storage of or access to any Digital Property. VeVe may use or implement technical measures with respect to the security of the Digital Property and you will not take any action to interfere with, circumvent, disable or otherwise obstruct any such security-related features or other digital rights management functions associated with the Digital Property or reverse engineer or take any other action that may affect the technology associated therewith.
3. For the avoidance of doubt, your ownership, possession or control of a Token does not provide you any ownership, copyright, title or similar interest in any Digital Property.
4. Each VeVe Licensor is a third party beneficiary of these Terms of Use, and, upon your acceptance, every VeVe Licensor as a third party beneficiary thereof will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms of Use against you.
5. Your ownership of a Collectible does not include any rights to the Digital Property except as expressly provided in these Terms of Use.

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.
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.
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.
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.

Title to, and all Intellectual Property Rights in, the User Content (as between the parties) remains your property. By making any User Content available through our Services you grant to us a non-exclusive, fully paid up, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free, perpetual license, to use, store, copy, modify, create derivative works based upon, publicly display, publicly perform, market, promote and distribute your User Content for any purpose in connection with operating and providing our Services and Content to you and to others. By accepting these Terms of Use, you allow us to benefit freely from the above rights, including but not limited to:
1. the right to reproduce User Content by any means and in any form;

Without limiting clauses 7.17 and 7.18, you acknowledge that we may use User Content for our internal research, analytical and product development purposes, to conduct statistical analysis and identify trends and insights (on an anonymized and aggregated basis) and for our internal reporting requirements (and these rights will survive termination and expiration of these Terms of Use).
You represent and warrant that, for all such User Content you provide, you own or otherwise control all necessary rights to do so and to meet your obligations under these Terms of Use. You represent and warrant that such User Content is accurate. You represent and warrant that use of any such User Content (including derivative works) by us, our users, or others in contract with us, and in compliance with these Terms of Use, does not and will not infringe any law or regulation or any Intellectual Property Rights of any third party. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any content provided by you or any third party. To the extent permitted by law, you also agree and undertake that you will not exercise your moral rights (or equivalent rights under applicable laws), such as your right to be identified as the author of any of the User Content, against us or any third party designated by us.
You must ensure you have obtained all necessary consents for us to access, collect, hold, process and distribute the User Content as described in these Terms of Use.

DMCA Notice and Procedure for Copyright Infringement Claims

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

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.
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:
1. are not liable to you for the accuracy of any Listing, or any failure by a User to comply with these Terms of Use or any other legal obligation;
2. are not liable or responsible for any guarantees or assurances made by the seller of any listing on the VeVe App;
3. have not made, and do not make any representation, guarantee or warranty that any Collectible will meet your requirements or expectations;
4. are not liable or responsible for any increase or decrease in value of any Collectible. We have not made, and do not make, any promises (whether explicit, implied or otherwise) as to the value of any Collectible, including whether the value of the Collectible will increase or decrease in the future. 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.)
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.
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)).
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.

9. THE STORE

Subject to you paying the Price for the Collectible, when you purchase a Collectible from the Store, you purchase the Token associated with that Collectible in accordance with clause 7.12.
We may withhold a certain number of units of each set of Collectibles we release in the Store for uses such as marketing and promotional activities.

10. PROMOTIONAL CODES

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). The terms may vary between promotions and will be notified at the time of each promotion.

12. FEES AND PAYMENT

Payments for Collectibles (through both the Store and Market) can be made with Gems
Payments for Gems can be made:
1. through the Website using credit cards (or other payment methods approved by us); or
2. through the VeVe mobile application using Apple or Google's in app payment services.
Prices for Collectibles are in Gems.
You will be charged the Price (including any Fees set out on our Fees page) for any Collectibles purchased either from the Store or from the Market. Any purchases made on our Services (for Collectibles, premium content, features, Gems or otherwise) are final and non-refundable, and you are advised to double check before making any purchases.
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:
1. use the funds to pay for Collectibles or Services on the VeVe App; or
2. instruct us to transfer the funds to your nominated bank account.
You authorize us to deduct our Fees from funds held on trust and retain any interest earned on the funds held on trust.
There is no charge for downloading our VeVe App but you will need an internet connection. You are responsible for all associated charges from your internet or mobile network providers.
By using our Services, you accept that it is your responsibility to calculate and pay:
1. any taxes applicable to any transactions you conduct on our Services. We accept no responsibility for, nor make any representation in respect of, your tax liability;
2. any fees associated with your payment method of choice; and
3. any currency conversion fees.
We may change, modify or increase the Fees we charge for our Services from time to time by giving 30 days' notice. We will notify you of any increase and the effective date of the increase by emailing you at the email contact address that you have most recently supplied to us. If you do not wish to pay the increased Fees, you may request removal of your Account. If you do not remove your Account before the effective date of the increase, you are deemed to have accepted the increased Fees.
Banks and other credit or debit card issuers may offer a dispute process for credit or debit card payments. If your bank or issuer determines that a transaction on the Market should be refunded (a Chargeback) and you are the seller, we will give effect to the Chargeback by debiting your App Wallet. Where we give effect to the Chargeback, you agree to indemnify us against any costs incurred as a result of the Chargeback, and authorize us to debit your App Wallet for the amount of any such costs. If your App Wallet contains insufficient funds for the Chargeback or our costs and we are unable to debit your App Wallet, this will create a debt between us and you and we may restrict some VeVe App functionality.

13. GEMS AND GEM WITHDRAWALS

Our VeVe App uses Gems as its 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:
1. Gems are not securities.
2. VeVe does not accept or hold deposits from customers and is not a bank.
3. VeVe does not insure customer funds it holds (or the Collectibles themselves).
4. VeVe is not a money transmitter under any law. We work with appropriate third parties who process payments for Gems and Gem withdrawals.
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 includes (1) repeated sales and/or purchases of Collectibles at a higher value than Expected Value, or (2) a sale and/or purchase of a Collectible at a significantly higher value than Expected Value. "Expected Value" means the expected sale price of the Collectible as determined by Orbis taking into account current market prices, significance of the mint number and other factors we consider relevant. If you dispute the determination we make you may submit evidence to VeVe Support justifying the higher value for our consideration.
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.
If you meet all applicable requirements and are permitted to withdraw Gems, the Gems will in accordance with your instructions be transferred from your App Wallet and 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.
We may refuse, cancel or disable withdrawal requests any time.
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).
We are using a phased approach for the beta rollout of Gem withdrawals meaning the Gems withdrawals are only available to Users selected by us for the particular phase.

14. TRUST TERMS

For the purposes of clauses 14 and 15, the following capitalised terms will have the following meaning:
1. ACT means the Trusts Act 2019 (New Zealand);
2. DEFAULT means any breach of these Terms of Use by the User;
3. FUNDS means the matching amount of fiat currency amount equivalent to the number of Gems held by the User in its Account, on a one USD, one Gem basis;
4. BENEFICIARY means the User;
5. RESERVE BENEFICIARY means a beneficiary that has a contingent beneficial interest in the Trust that arises only in the circumstances where the original Beneficiary has forgone, forfeited or lost its beneficial interest in the Trust pursuant to these Terms of Use, or such beneficial interest in the Trust having lapsed pursuant to these Terms of Use, or otherwise in circumstances where there is no other living beneficiary that is entitled to the Beneficiary's beneficial interest in the Trust pursuant to these Terms of Use. The User acknowledges that the Reserve Beneficiary is Orbis Blockchain Technologies Limited (or its nominee);
6. TRUST means the trust established for each User in relation to the Funds pursuant to this clause 14 and governed by these Terms of Use; and
7. TRUSTEE means Orbis Blockchain Technologies Limited.
By purchasing a Gem, the User directs the Trustee to hold the matching Funds, on its behalf as the Beneficiary, on trust on the terms set out in these Terms of Use. The Trustee acknowledges and agrees to hold the Funds on trust on behalf of the User as Beneficiary on the terms set out in these Terms of Use.
The Trustee hereby agrees that it will, and the User expressly authorizes the Trustee to:
1. hold the Funds on trust on behalf of the User as Beneficiary subject to the terms set out in these Terms of Use;
2. whenever the User uses Gems (including, but not limited to, when purchasing Collectibles from the Store, purchasing or selling Collectibles through the Market, or otherwise applying Gems for any purpose contemplated by these Terms of Use), transfer the User's beneficial title to the relevant matching Funds to the recipient of the Gems; and
3. whenever the User withdraws Gems (subject to the Terms of Use including the User's compliance with any withdrawal requirements including under clause 13), transfer the matching Funds to the User.
The User as Beneficiary acknowledges that, subject to these Terms of Use, the Trustee will act on instructions issued by the User in accordance with clause 5.4. The Trustee will have no obligation to verify or take any steps to verify any instructions actually or ostensibly sent by or on behalf of the User in accordance with clause 5.4 (regardless of whether it was actually issued by the User or not), and will have no liability for any loss suffered by the User from the Trustee having acted accordingly.
The User as Beneficiary agrees and acknowledges that, in the event of a Default, it irrevocably:
1. directs and authorizes the Trustee to deduct any such amount of Funds that the Trustee deems necessary to compensate or indemnify the Trustee, VeVe and/or any other User of the Services for any loss or damage caused to the Trustee, VeVe and/or any other User as a result of the Default in accordance with these Terms of Use, and apply such Funds in any manner the Trustee sees fit at its sole discretion;
2. directs and authorizes the Trustee to deduct any such amount of Funds that the Trustee deems necessary for VeVe to enforce and/or promote the fundamental objectives of the VeVe App set out in clause 6.8, and apply such Funds in any manner the Trustee sees fit at its sole discretion; and
3. directs and authorizes the Trustee to deduct any such amount of Funds that the Trustee deems necessary to protect itself against any present or future costs, expenses, losses, damages, liability (whether actual, potential, or contingent), penalties, or taxes that may arise as a result from such Default, and apply such Funds in any manner the Trustee sees fit at its sole discretion; and
4. forfeits, and will be deemed to have foregone, any further beneficial interest in the Trust.
The Beneficiary agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, sections 29 to 38 of the Act are excluded and do not apply to this Trust established pursuant to these Terms of Use.
The Trustee acknowledges that it will hold the Funds as trustee for the Beneficiary on the terms set out in these Terms of Use. The User agrees and acknowledges that the Trustee may:
1. act as the provider of the Services in accordance with the Terms of Use;
2. act as an officer to monitor, administer and regulate activities of all Users within the Services and take any actions it deems to promote a safe, equitable, fair and reliable marketplace for all Users;
3. act as an owner, licensee or licensor of certain assets (including, without limitation, of the Services, Software, Underlying Systems, Digital Property or other Intellectual Property) relating to the Services;
4. be financially compensated directly or indirectly through the Services or Terms of Use;
5. be the Reserve Beneficiary; or
6. otherwise be related to (as that term is understood in the Companies Act 1993), or associated with, any other entity that is or provides any or all of the above, or director, officer or employee of, a shareholder of, or consultant or advisor to, such entities.
The Trustee shall, at any time at its sole discretion, be entitled to revoke the trust arrangements under these Terms of Use or to appoint a new trustee to carry on the trust arrangements on the same terms as these Terms of Use (mutatis mutandis). Where the Trustee revokes the trust arrangements or appoints a new trustee, the Trustee shall notify the User and take all steps that may be necessary to transfer legal title to the Funds to the User (subject to the Terms of Use including the User's compliance with any withdrawal requirements including under clause 13) or a new trustee appointed pursuant to these Terms of Use.
In consideration of the Trustee holding the Funds on behalf of the User on the terms set out in these Terms of Use, the User hereby, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless the Trustee and undertakes to keep the Trustee at all times fully and effectively indemnified from and against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, liability or other amounts (Liability) imposed on, sustained, incurred, suffered by, or asserted against the Trustee however and whenever arising directly or indirectly from the execution or non-execution by the Trustee of any powers set out in these Terms of Use except where such Liability arises as a result of gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct by the Trustee in its capacity as Trustee.

15. DEATH

In the event that VeVe is notified of the User's death, VeVe has the right to suspend the User's Account pending VeVe's determination of the User's executor(s) or administrator(s), heir(s), beneficiary or beneficiaries, successor(s), personal representative(s) or such other person(s) entitled to deal with or benefit under the User's estate pursuant to these Terms of Use.
VeVe may, upon receipt of evidence of the User's death, evidence of a grant of probate or administration of the User's estate in accordance with the laws of New Zealand (including the filing of non-New Zealand grants of probate, administration or similar with the High Court of New Zealand), and any other matters, documents or evidence necessary or satisfactory to VeVe at its sole discretion, and subject to clause 15.3 and 15.4, the relevant executor(s) or administrator(s), heir(s), beneficiary or beneficiaries, successor(s), personal representative(s) or such other person(s) entitled to deal with or benefit under the User's estate registering a new Account in compliance with these Terms of Use, and any other terms within the Terms of Use, transfer to the relevant executor(s) or administrator(s), heir(s), beneficiary or beneficiaries, successor(s), personal representative(s) or such other person(s) entitled to deal with or benefit under the User's estate as authorized by the relevant grant of probate or administration of the User's estate in accordance with the laws of New Zealand.
VeVe and the Trustee take no responsibility and have no liability in relation to the administration, transmission or transfer of the User's estate to relevant executor(s) or administrator(s), heir(s), beneficiary or beneficiaries, successor(s), personal representative(s) or such other person(s) entitled to deal with or benefit under the User's estate. VeVe and/or the Trustee shall effect the relevant transfer of User's Gems and Collectibles, on the basis that the User and the relevant executor(s) or administrator(s), heir(s), beneficiary or beneficiaries, successor(s), personal representative(s) or such other person(s) entitled to deal with or benefit under the User's estate, are deemed to have agreed to indemnify (jointly and severally with the User) VeVe and the Trustee for any present or future costs, expenses, losses, damages, liability, penalties, or taxes that may arise as a result of, or in connection with, the administration, transmission or transfer of the User's estate to the relevant executor(s) or administrator(s), heir(s), beneficiary or beneficiaries, successor(s), personal representative(s) or such other person(s) entitled to deal with or benefit under the User's estate, on the terms set out in these Terms of Use.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms of Use, VeVe and/or the Trustee have the right to retain, withhold or deduct any such amount of Gems or Funds that VeVe and/or the Trustee deem necessary to protect VeVe and/or the Trustee against any present or future costs, expenses, losses, damages, liability (whether actual, potential, or contingent), penalties, or taxes that may arise as a result of the User's death, and apply such Funds in any manner the Trustee sees fit at its sole discretion.

16. SECURITY

While we take all reasonable steps to ensure that your Collectibles and User Content are secure, you are responsible for the security and system integrity of your Account, Device and your associated connection to the internet. You acknowledge and agree all Collectibles are associated with Tokens on our nominated blockchain, a distributed ledger network operated by several parties independent to us. The security of the Collectibles depends on the security of the network. You accept and consent to us deciding which Collectibles will become associated with Tokens on another network in our discretion. The security of the Collectibles would depend on the security of that network.
You must exercise every possible care to ensure the safety of your Account and Device by taking all reasonable care to prevent loss, theft, unauthorized, criminal or fraudulent use. That includes:
1. not allowing anyone else to use your Device;
2. keeping your login details secret and unique;
3. locking your Device when it is not in use; and
4. ensuring you have set up password access to your Device and it is active.
If you become aware or suspect that your login credentials to our Services have been compromised in any way, you must immediately notify us and also cease using our Services and uninstall and delete the VeVe App.

We do not make any warranty or representation on the availability or performance of those features. Without limiting the previous sentence, if a third party feature provider ceases to provide that feature or ceases to make that feature available on reasonable terms, we may cease to make that feature available to you. To avoid doubt, if we exercise our right to cease the availability of a third party feature, you are not entitled to any refund, discount or other compensation.

18. TERMINATION

You may cease using the Services at any time by requesting removal of your Account from the VeVe App. If you do this, these Terms of Use and your right to access and use the Services will terminate immediately.

We may, at our sole discretion and for whatever reason, change, modify, suspend or discontinue any of our Services, including the provision of the VeVe App, the Store or the Market, at any time without prior notice or reason given to you.

21. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

These Terms of Use and any dispute arising out of or in relation to them shall be governed by the laws of New Zealand.
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.
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.
Following the receipt of a notice notifying VeVe of a User's disagreement, complaint, dispute, or difference, VeVe and the User will attempt to resolve this in good faith within 30 days of notification by the User. VeVe will notify the User the outcome of the disagreement, complaint, dispute, or difference as soon as an outcome is determined by VeVe. If you do not agree with the outcome as determined by VeVe, you may take such other action to resolve the dispute as permitted under these Terms of Use.
When determining the outcome of your disagreement, complaint, dispute, or difference, VeVe may take into account any factors that VeVe considers relevant in the circumstances, including without limitation, the fundamental objectives of the VeVe App set out in clause 6.8.
To the fullest extent permissible by law, subject to clause 21.2 to 21.5 and 21.8 below, you and us agree that any dispute or disagreement arising out of or in connection with these Terms of Use will be settled by arbitration as follows:
1. the arbitration will be administered by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre ("SIAC") in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre ("SIAC Rules") current at the time the arbitration is commenced
2. the Tribunal shall consist of a sole arbitrator
3. the seat of the arbitration shall be Singapore
4. the language of the arbitration shall be English
5. the law applicable to this arbitration agreement and arbitral proceedings shall be New Zealand law.
To the fullest extent permissible by law, these Terms of Use provide for the exclusive resolution of disputes through individual arbitration on your own behalf instead of through any class or representative action and you agree that any dispute against us whatsoever shall be brought by you individually and not as a member of any class or as part of a class or representative action, and you expressly agree to waive any law entitling you to participate in a class or representative action.
For the avoidance of doubt, anything within clauses 21.1 to 21.9 (including the above arbitration agreement) does not prevent us from seeking injunctive or other urgent relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the breach of these Terms of Use and/or infringement or misappropriation of our or our licensors' intellectual property rights.
If you are located in a jurisdiction in which an arbitration agreement is not enforceable then the parties agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts to resolve any dispute.

22. GENERAL

Each party must, unless it has the prior written consent of the other party:
1. keep confidential at all times the Confidential Information of the other party;
2. effect and maintain adequate security measures to safeguard the other party's Confidential Information from unauthorized access or use; and
3. disclose the other party's Confidential Information to its personnel or professional advisors on a need to know basis only and, in that case, ensure that any personnel or professional advisor to whom it discloses the other party's Confidential Information is aware of, and complies with, clauses 22.1(a) and 22.1(b).
The obligation of confidentiality in clause 22.1 does not apply to any disclosure or use of Confidential Information:
1. for the purpose of performing a party's obligations, or exercising a party's rights, under these Terms of Use;
2. required by law or government (including under the rules of any stock exchange);
3. which is publicly available through no fault of the recipient of the Confidential Information or its personnel;
4. which was rightfully received by a party from a third party without restriction and without breach of any obligation of confidentiality; or
5. by us if required as part of a bona fide sale of our business (assets or shares, whether in whole or in part) to a third party, provided that we enter into a confidentiality agreement with the third party on terms no less restrictive than clauses 22.1 and 22.2.
These Terms of Use constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between us and you in respect to any matter raised in these Terms of Use, and these Terms of Use supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between us and you with respect to any matter raised in these Terms of Use.
You may not assign or transfer any of your rights under these Terms of Use without our prior written permission. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms of Use, without such permission, will be null. We may freely assign or transfer these Terms of Use, including any right or obligation set out in these Terms of Use, without restriction, and the transferor or assignor shall not remain jointly and severally liable.

We may provide you with notices, including notices relating to these Terms of Use by way of electronic communications, including by email or other electronic communication through the VeVe App. You are solely responsible for ensuring your contact details in your Account are always up to date.

We reserve the right to add, vary or otherwise change these Terms of Use at any time. We will publish the most recent version of the Terms of Use on the VeVe App.
If we do not exercise or enforce any rights available to us under these Terms of Use, that does not constitute a waiver of those rights. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of us. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms of Use, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms of Use will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms of Use or otherwise.
Our shareholders, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures, and employees will have the benefit of our rights, powers and protections in these Terms of Use and any one of them can enforce any of our rights, powers and protections as if they were a party to these Terms of Use.
Nothing in these Terms of Use shall be deemed or is intended to be deemed, nor shall it cause, either you or us to be treated as partners, joint ventures or as the agent of the other.
Neither us, nor any user of our Services, nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering our Services shall be liable for any failure to perform its obligations under these Terms of Use to the extent caused by Force Majeure provided that the affected party:
1. notifies the other party as soon as practicable;
