All changes are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Services thereafter. However, any changes to the dispute resolution provisions set out in Governing Law and Jurisdiction will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice before the date the change is posted on the Website. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of revised Terms of Service means that You accept and agree to the changes.

If You are using a public or shared computer, You also agree to ensure that You exit from Your account at the end of each session.

ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER — IMPORTANT — PLEASE REVIEW AS THIS AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

YOU AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US OR ANY OF OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS OR EMPLOYEES ACTING IN THEIR CAPACITY AS SUCH (WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DISPUTE INVOLVES A THIRD PARTY) WITH REGARD TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DISPUTES RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES AND/OR RIGHTS OF PRIVACY AND/OR PUBLICITY, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION UNDER THE JAMS, INC. (“JAMS”) RULES FOR ARBITRATION OF CONSUMER-RELATED DISPUTES, AND YOU AND WE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT WE OR YOU MAY SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT HAVING JURISDICTION TO GRANT IT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACTUAL OR THREATENED INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. DISCOVERY AND RIGHTS TO APPEAL IN ARBITRATION ARE GENERALLY MORE LIMITED THAN IN A LAWSUIT, AND OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

As an alternative, You may bring Your claim in Your local “small claims” court, if permitted by that small claims court’s rules and if such claim is within such court’s jurisdiction, unless such action is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court. You may bring claims only on Your own behalf. Neither You nor we will participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by this agreement. YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST US, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS. You also agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person’s account, if we are a party to the proceeding.

These dispute resolution provisions will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and not by any state law concerning arbitration. In the event that JAMS is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within one hundred and sixty (160) days of filing the case, then either we or You can elect to have the arbitration administered instead by the American Arbitration Association. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with these Terms of Service. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of, related to or connected with the use of the Services or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever banned.

If You do not wish to be bound by the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions in this Disputes section, You must notify us in writing within thirty (30) days of the date that You first accept these Terms of Service (unless a longer period is required by applicable law), and then You must litigate any disputes against us in accordance with the Governing Law and Jurisdiction section below. Your written notification must be mailed to us at the address set out at the end of these Terms of Service. If You do not notify us in accordance with this paragraph, You agree to be bound by the terms of this Disputes section, including, without limitation, the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions, and further including such provisions in any revisions we make to these Terms of Service after the date of Your first acceptance. Such notification must include: (i) Your name; (ii) Your email address and mailing address; and (iii) a statement that You do not wish to resolve disputes with us through arbitration or waive Your ability to participate in a class action. If we make any changes to this Disputes section (other than a change to the address at which we will receive notices or rejections of future changes to this Disputes section), You may reject any such change by sending us written notice, within thirty (30) days of the change, to the address set out at the end of these Terms of Service. It is not necessary to send us a rejection of a future change to this Disputes section if You had properly opted out within the first thirty (30) days after You first accepted the provisions in this Disputes section. If You have not properly opted out, then by rejecting a future change, You are agreeing that You will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Disputes section, as modified by any changes You did not reject. A notification sent pursuant to this paragraph solely affects these Terms of Service; if You previously entered into other arbitration or dispute resolution agreements with us or enter into other such agreements in the future, Your notification that You are opting out of the provisions in this Disputes section shall not affect the other arbitration agreements between You and us.

If any of the prohibitions against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Disputes section will be null and void. This Disputes section, including, without limitation, the arbitration agreement and class action waivers contained herein, will survive the termination of Your relationship with us.

All matters relating to the Services and these Terms of Service, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction). Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Service or the Services shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of New York. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over You by such courts and to venue in such courts.

No waiver by The Bionic Apes of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Service shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of The Bionic Apes to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. With the exception of Section 19.5, if any provision of these Terms of Service is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Service will continue in full force and effect.

The license below governs Your rights with respect to any NFTs You purchase through the The Bionic Apes Platform.

“Art” means any art, design, drawing, or other pictorial or graphic work of authorship that may be associated with an NFT that You Own. "NFT" means any blockchain-tracked, non-fungible token, such as those conforming to the ERC-1155 standard. “Own” means, with respect to an NFT, an NFT that You have purchased or otherwise rightfully acquired from a legitimate source, where proof of such purchase is recorded on the relevant blockchain. “Ownership” means the legal status of a person or entity that Owns a Purchased NFT. “Extensions” means third party designs that: (i) are intended for use as extensions of or overlays to the Art, (ii) do not modify the underlying Art, and (iii) can be removed at any time without affecting the underlying Art. “Purchased NFT” means an NFT that You Own. “Third Party IP” means any third party patent rights (including, without limitation, patent applications and disclosures), copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, know-how or any other intellectual property rights recognized in any country or jurisdiction in the world.

You acknowledge and agree that Creator (or, as applicable, its licensors) owns all worldwide legal right, title and interest in and to the Art, and all intellectual property rights therein. The rights that You have in and to the Art are limited to those described in this License. Creator reserves all rights in and to the Art not expressly granted to You in this License.

a. General Use. Subject to and conditioned upon Your continued compliance with the terms of this License, Creator grants You a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, copy, and display the Art associated with Your Purchased NFTs, along with any Extensions that You choose to create or use, solely for the following purposes: (i) for Your own personal, noncommercial use; (ii) as part of a marketplace that permits the purchase and sale of Your NFTs, provided that the marketplace cryptographically verifies each NFT owner’s rights to display the Art associated with their Purchased NFTs to ensure that only the actual owner can display the Art; or (iii) as part of a third party website or application that permits the inclusion, involvement, or participation of Your NFTs, provided that the website/application cryptographically verifies each NFT owner’s rights to display the Art associated with their Purchased NFTs to ensure that only the actual owner can display the Art, and provided that the Art is no longer visible once the owner of the Purchased NFT leaves the website/application. b. Commercial Use. Subject to and conditioned upon Your continued compliance with the terms of this License, Creator grants You a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, license to use, copy, and display the Art associated with Your Purchased NFTs for the purpose of creating derivative works based upon the Art and commercializing Your own merchandise that includes, contains, or consists of the Art associated with Your Purchased NFTs or derivative works of such Art (“Commercial Use”). For the sake of clarity, nothing in this Section 9.3(b) will be deemed to restrict You from (i) owning or operating a marketplace that permits the use and sale of NFTs generally, provided that the marketplace cryptographically verifies each NFT owner’s rights to display the Art associated with their Purchased NFTs to ensure that only the actual owner can display the Art; (ii) owning or operating a third party website or application that permits the inclusion, involvement, or participation of NFTs generally, provided that the third party website or application cryptographically verifies each NFT owner’s rights to display the Art associated with their Purchased NFTs to ensure that only the actual owner can display the Art, and provided that the Art is no longer visible once the owner of the Purchased NFT leaves the website/application; or (iii) earning revenue from any of the foregoing. c. Transferability and Sublicensing. The License granted hereunder is not assignable or transferable except in connection with Your sale of the Purchased NFT, and You acknowledge and agree that upon such sale the License shall be transferred by operation of law and the terms of this License to the person or entity to whom You convey Ownership of the Purchased NFT. While You Own the Purchased NFT, You may sublicense Your rights under this License to third parties, but only on condition that (i) You provide written notice of all such sublicenses to the new Owner of the Purchased NFT following any change in Ownership of the Purchased NFT, and (ii) such sublicenses shall be terminable by the new Owner. Following termination of a sublicense, physical embodiments of the Art lawfully made under such sublicenses, such as merchandise in inventory, may continue to be distributed as provided under the U.S. Copyright Act.

You agree not to use the Art associated with Your Purchased NFTs in connection with images, videos, or other forms of media that depict hatred, sex acts, pornography, racism, intolerance, violence, cruelty, or anything else that could reasonably be found to constitute hate speech or otherwise infringe upon the rights of others.

The License granted in Section 9.3 above applies only to the extent that You continue to Own the applicable Purchased NFT. If at any time You sell, trade, donate, give away, or otherwise transfer Ownership of Your Purchased NFT for any reason, the License granted in Section 9.3 will immediately be transferred to the new Owner with respect to that NFT as set forth above in Section 9.3(c) without the requirement of notice, and You will have no further rights in or to the Art associated with that NFT. If You exceed the scope of the license grant in Section 9.3(b) without entering into a broader license agreement with or obtaining an exemption from Creator, You acknowledge and agree that: (i) You are in breach of this License; (ii) in addition to any remedies that may be available to Creator at law or in equity, the Creator may immediately terminate this License, without the requirement of notice; and (iii) You will be responsible to reimburse Creator for any costs and expenses incurred by Creator during the course of enforcing the terms of this License against You.
