1. S1C NFTs. For purposes of these Terms, “S1C NFT” means the S1C blockchain recorded non-fungible token which is issued (or “minted”) and is transferrable on the Ethereum blockchain, and which is linked to associated digital artwork stored on the interplanetary file system. S1C NFTs are composed of layered files and attributes, as well as complete artwork. There are two types of S1C NFTs: (1) standard S1C NFTs and (2) 1 of 1 S1C NFTs.  All S1C NFTs are digital and do not include any physical items or representations.

 

You can find mint dates and times, as well as instructions for and availability of minting of S1C NFTs at www.s1c.la. Minting may be performed by using a permitted cryptocurrency wallet and connecting it to S1C’s website. If S1C NFTs have not “minted out” (e.g., have yet to be directly acquired by an individual through a purchase or other transaction transferring ownership), then after accepting and authorizing the connection, you may initiate the minting process by approving the transaction and paying the mint fee plus the Gas fee (defined in Section 11 below).

 

Any transaction after the initial mint of a S1C NFT shall be referred to as a “secondary transaction.” All secondary transactions occur outside of S1C’s website and are outside of S1C’s control. S1C makes no representations about your or any other person’s ability to complete a secondary transaction or about any other aspects of secondary transactions. You agree that S1C has no liability or responsibility to you for any secondary transactions. You further agree that S1C has no liability or responsibility to you for any failed transactions, whether minting or secondary, including any associated or charged Gas or other fees.

S1C does not provide any guarantee that any S1C NFT will retain the original mint value or any value, as the value of the S1C NFTs is inherently subjective and subject to factors outside of S1C’s control. 

‍

b) Ethereum Blockchain. S1C does not send, receive, or store any S1C NFTs. All transactions occur solely within the Ethereum blockchain and not on any systems or networks controlled by S1C. Transactions involving S1C NFTs are generally irreversible. Losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions are generally not recoverable.

‍

c) Inherent Risks with NFTs and Cryptocurrency. There are many risks with NFTs and the use of cryptocurrencies. These may include, but are not limited to, malicious software or apps, fraudulent transaction or NFTs, unauthorized access to and transactions from cryptocurrency wallets, and failure in software, hardware or internet connections. S1C has no liability for any of these, or other, risks.

‍

d) Taxes. You are solely responsible for determining if there are any taxes applicable to your mint, purchase, sale, transfer, receipt or any other transaction related to your S1C NFT. S1C is not responsible for determining, calculating, or paying any such applicable taxes.

‍

e) Uncertainty of Legal Landscape. The laws and regulations governing blockchains, cryptocurrencies, and NFTs are uncertain and being developed and issued and ruled upon. As such, there may be new laws and regulations that may materially adversely affect S1C NFTs or the sale or transfer thereof.

THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE CLAIM WILL NOT ENLARGE OR EXTEND THIS LIMIT. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, FOR THE SERVICES WHICH ARE UNPAID OR PROVIDED FOR FREE, THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF S1C FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES AND CAUSES OF ACTION, WHETHER IN STRICT LIABILITY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE $50 US.

MULTIPLE CLAIMS WILL NOT INCREASE THE MONETARY DAMAGES LIMIT STATED HEREIN. IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF A JURISDICTION THAT REQUIRES A SPECIFIC STATEMENT REGARDING RELEASE, THEN THE FOLLOWING APPLIES. FOR EXAMPLE, CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS MUST, AS A CONDITION OF THIS AGREEMENT, WAIVE THE APPLICABILITY OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH STATES, “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”

The parties to the arbitration shall have the full right to discovery in accordance with the California Code of Civil Procedure. The arbitrator will provide a detailed written statement of the final decision, which will be part of the arbitration award and admissible in any judicial proceeding to confirm, correct or vacate the award.  If either party refuses to perform any or all of its obligations under the final arbitration award (following, appeal, if applicable) within thirty (30) days of such award being rendered, then the other party will have the right to enforce the final award in any court of competent jurisdiction in San Diego, CA.
