The Toki Universe NFTs

The subjects of the Mint are certain non-fungible tokens (“NFT(s)”) created by or on behalf of Toki Universe known as “Toki Universe NFT(s)”.

Participant understands and acknowledges that the Toki Universe NFTs are minted “on demand” directly into Wallets and that accordingly no Toki Universe NFTs are available for inspection prior to their delivery and are provided “as is.”

The Toki Universe NFTs are not images. They are units of data on the Ethereum blockchain. The image files associated with the Toki Universe NFTs are not the subjects of the Mint, nor are any rights thereto acquired through the purchase of a Toki Universe NFT.

The Mint

During the Mint Period (defined below), eligible Participants may access the Mint website at www.tokiuniverse.com/mint (Mint Site”) and may make a transaction on and pay for Toki Universe NFT(s).

Assumption of Certain Risks

NFTs are intangible digital assets and exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained in the blockchain network. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of the digital asset market, it is not possible to know all of the risks involved in digital assets, and new risks may emerge at any time. The following are some, but not all, of the risks associated with the Mint:

  • Cryptocurrency and the blockchain. Universe does not control the public blockchain. By participating in the Mint, the Participant acknowledges that it is aware of and accepts all risks associated with a cryptographic system, including without limitation the blockchain, decentralized ledgers, smart contracts, digital wallets, and non-fungible tokens. Toki Universe is not responsible for the operation of the blockchain, or for any losses due to the blockchain or the use of a digital currency, including without limitation, (i) internet connectivity, (ii) hardware malfunctions, (iii) software bugs, viruses or exposure to malicious software, (iv) digital wallet security breaches, (v) system failures or outages; or (vi) lost or stolen “private keys.”
  • Pricing digital assets. understands that the price of digital assets is highly volatile and may be impacted by, among other things, fluctuations in the price of other digital assets. Digital assets also suffer from valuation and liquidity challenges.
  • Evolving regulatory landscape. regulatory landscape governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and NFTs is evolving. Changes in the legislative or regulatory environment may impact Toki Universe’s ability to offer certain products or services. In addition, there are risks associated with the dependence on third-party decentralized trading platforms, applications or other intermediaries (e.g., exchanges), counterparties, or custodians to hold or convert digital assets that may be subject to little or no regulation, or that may operate in violation of regulations, including regulations related to sanctions compliance and anti-money laundering.
  • Tax Obligations. Participants are solely responsible for determining what, if any, tax obligations might arise from his/her transactions. Except as required by law, Toki Universe is not responsible for determining any Participant’s tax reporting or compliance obligations, or other tax obligations, including without limitation payment obligations.

Unauthorized Use

The Mint may not be used for any unauthorized use or any illegal or unlawful purpose. Any unauthorized use or violation of this Agreement shall immediately and automatically terminate Participant’s right to participate in the Mint and may subject it to legal liability. Toki Universe reserves the right to take appropriate legal action for any illegal or unauthorized conduct.

Indemnification

Participant agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Toki Universe harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, costs, and expenses, including attorneys' fees, due to Participant’s activities in connection with the Mint, and/or the breach of any representation, warranty, or other provision of the Agreement.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for damages. Accordingly, some of the above indemnities, limitations, and disclaimers may not apply.

Any other attempt to assign, sub-license, or transfer rights under this Agreement shall be null and void.
