You may use the Services as a purchaser of NFTs to (a) engage in transactions with Paper to purchase NFTs offered by a third-party seller on the NFT Platform (the “NFT Offeror) in exchange for fiat currency or cryptocurrency and (b) store and access NFTs purchased using the Services through one or more digital wallets either made available by Paper or a third party which you elect to use in connection with the Services. You may also use the Services if you are an NFT Offeror to engage in transactions with Paper to sell NFTs to users desiring to use a payment method accepted by Paper.

Eligibility.

In order to use the Services, you must be at least eighteen (18) years of age (or the applicable age of majority and contractual capacity in the jurisdiction in which you reside).

Account Creation

To access the Services or some of the resources it offers, you may be asked to provide certain registration details or other information, including your e-mail address and a valid payment method (such as a credit card). You agree to provide Paper with any information we reasonably request for purposes of identity verification and the detection of money laundering, fraud or other criminal activities. You also may need to complete certain verification procedures before you may be permitted to use the Services. Upon Paper’s verification of the information you submit, including your payment method, you will be authorized to use the Services to purchase NFTs offered for sale by an NFT Offeror. It is a condition of your use of the Services that all the information you provide is correct, current, and complete.

If you are using the Services to purchase an NFT from an NFT Offeror, you are not required to create an account and may instead conduct one-time transactions with Paper using a payment method accepted by Paper. However, if you are an NFT Offeror and desire to use the Services to sell an NFT, you need to create an account to access certain of the Services. If you choose, or are provided with, a user name, password, or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. You also acknowledge that your account is personal to you and agree not to provide any other person with access to the Services or portions of it using your user name, password, or other security information. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your user name or password or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information. We have the right to disable any user name, password, or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, at any time in our sole discretion for any or no reason, including if, in our opinion, you have violated any provision of the User Agreement.

Accessing the Services

Upon creating an account, a digital wallet set up by us or our service providers (each, a “Paper Wallet”) may be linked to your account. When you use the Services to purchase an NFT offered for sale by an NFT Offeror, you agree and understand that Paper will (a) purchase such NFT, (b) charge your chosen payment method and (c) upon receiving the applicable funds from you, deliver (or cause to be delivered) the purchased NFT to, at your prior election via the Services, either (i) your Paper Wallet or (ii) a non-custodial wallet (e.g. a Metamask wallet) (“External Wallet”). Once Paper completes the purchase of the NFT from the NFT Offeror, Paper will settle the applicable payment with the NFT Offeror.

By using an External Wallet in connection with the Services, you agree that you are using such External Wallet under the terms and conditions of the applicable providers of such External Wallet. For example, for the Metamask wallet, those terms and conditions are available at https://metamask.io/terms.html. External Wallets are not associated with, maintained by or affiliated with us. You are solely responsible for keeping your External Wallet and any private keys necessary to decrypt your External Wallet secure. We have no ability to help you access or recover your private keys for your External Wallet. We accept no responsibility or liability to you in connection with your use of an External Wallet, and we make no representations or warranties regarding how the Services will operate with any specific External Wallet.

As noted above, we provide functionalities via the Services to transfer NFTs purchased through the Services directly to an External Wallet. We may also provide functionalities via the Services whereby you can transfer NFTs purchased through the Services from your Paper Wallet to an External Wallet. Transfers via the Services to External Wallets may be facilitated by one or more smart contracts that we do not control. You acknowledge the risk of smart contracts and agree to be bound by the outcome of any smart contract operation that you initiate or that we initiate at your direction. We accept no liability or responsibility for any such transfer, including for any loss, data corruption or other negative impact that may occur to your NFTs purchased via the Services or wallets or other assets when attempting to transfer assets between wallets.

Assumption of Risks

You acknowledge and agree that digital assets are volatile and risky, and their trading is affected by many factors outside our or your control. You acknowledge and agree that you purchase NFTs at your own risk. As with any asset, the value of non-fungible tokens can go up or down and there can be a substantial risk that you lose money buying, selling or holding non-fungible tokens. You should carefully consider whether trading or holding non-fungible tokens is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. We make no promise that any NFT you purchase will be worth anything. You acknowledge and agree that there are risks associated with purchasing and holding NFTs and using blockchain technology, including but not limited to, risk of losing access to non-fungible tokens due to loss of private key(s), custodial error or purchase error, risk of mining or blockchain attacks, risk of hacking and security weaknesses, risk of unfavorable regulatory intervention in one or more jurisdictions, risks related to token taxation, risk of personal information disclosure, risk of uninsured losses, unanticipated risks, and volatility risks.

You are solely responsible for any transactions, and for all fees that you may incur as a result of your acquisition or sales of digital assets. Although we try to offer lower fees through our Services, we cannot control the timing of every transaction, and you acknowledge that the time of a transaction can affect the value of the asset or the fees associated with a transaction or both.

Paper has no control over and is not responsible for any activity conducted by you or other parties (including the NFT Offeror) on NFT Platforms. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible and liable for your use of any NFT Platform, and all of your related acts or omissions, and that your use of an NFT Platform is subject to such NFT Platform's terms of service and applicable law. You agree that Paper shall not be a party to or have any responsibility or liability arising out of any disputes between you and an NFT Platform, including related to any NFT or any intellectual property rights associated therewith.

Paper makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, written or oral, made by or on behalf or in connection with any NFT Platform or NFT Offeror, including any representations or warranties of title, non-infringement, functionality, merchantability, usage, security suitability or fitness for any particular purpose, workmanship or technical quality of any NFT. Paper is not responsible for and does not verify the rights or authenticity of any NFTs provided on NFT Platforms nor any claims made by or on NFT Platforms. You are solely responsible for verifying the rights (including any perks and other utility) and authenticity of any NFT you purchase, including any claims made by or on an NFT Platform, as well as any transfer of rights, rights to sell, interest in copyrights, and other intellectual property rights applicable to any NFT purchased through the Services. You acknowledge and agree that Paper is not responsible for delivering any functionality offered or purported to be offered on or through the NFTs you purchase. Any perks or utility related to an NFT are not provided by Paper, and you are responsible for verifying any perks or utility related to an NFT. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PAPER DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND LIABILITIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY NFT PURCHASED THROUGH THE SERVICES.

SOME LAWS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION AND LIMITATIONS OF CERTAIN IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE COMPANY, ITS AFFILIATES, OR THEIR LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, OR DIRECTORS BE LIABLE FOR (A) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PERSONAL INJURY, PAIN AND SUFFERING, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF DATA, AND WHETHER CAUSED BY TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE OR (B) ANY AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF .THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00), OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID THE COMPANY ENTITIES, IF ANY, IN THE PAST SIX (6) MONTHS FOR THE SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY EVEN IF THE ABOVE STATED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

THE FOREGOING DOES NOT AFFECT ANY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW (SUCH AS THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY).

You agree that in the event of any dispute between you and the Company, you will first contact the Company and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation, any court action.

After the informal dispute resolution process, any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) relating in any way to your use of the Company’s services and/or products, including the Services, will be resolved by arbitration, including threshold questions of arbitrability of the Claim, except as permitted herein. You and the Company agree that any Claim will be settled by final and binding arbitration, using the English language, administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and the JAMS Consumer Minimum Standards (together, the “JAMS Rules”) then in effect (those rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this section, and as of the date of this User Agreement). Arbitration will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction. You have a right to have the arbitration conducted via telephone, or as an in-person hearing in your hometown area (if you live in the United States) or another location that is reasonably convenient to you.

You and Company agree that each party may bring Claims against the other party only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, including without limitation federal or state class actions, or class arbitrations. Accordingly, under the arbitration procedures outlined in this section, an arbitrator shall not combine or consolidate more than one party’s claims without the written consent of all affected parties to an arbitration proceeding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you and Company agree that no dispute shall proceed by way of class arbitration without the written consent of all affected parties.

Payment for any and all reasonable JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be in accordance with the JAMS Rules. If the value of your claim does not exceed $10,000, the Company will pay for the reasonable filing, administrative and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, except that if you have initiated the arbitration claim, you will still be required to pay the lesser of $250 or the maximum amount permitted under the JAMS Rules for arbitration claims initiated by you. You are still responsible for all additional costs that you incur in the arbitration, including without limitation, fees for attorneys or expert witnesses.

You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and waiver of class provisions set forth in this User Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to support@paper.xyz. The notice must be sent to the Company within thirty (30) days of your registering to use the Services or agreeing to this User Agreement (or if this Section 18 is amended hereafter, within 30 days of such amendment being effective), otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with this User Agreement, and the notice must specify your name and mailing address. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, the Company also will not be bound by them.

Notwithstanding anything in this User Agreement to the contrary, You may instead assert your Claim in “small claims” court, but only if your Claim qualifies, your Claim remains only in such court, and your Claim remains on an individual, non-representative and non-class basis. Further, you and the Company will have the right to bring an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable or conservatory relief, or if the Claim relates to intellectual property infringement or misappropriation.

Waiver and Severability

No waiver by the Company of any term or condition set out in this User Agreement 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 Company to assert a right or provision under this User Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of this User Agreement 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 User Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
