📜Terms of Use

Last revised Jan 7, 2022

Please read these terms of sale and use (“Terms”) very carefully. These Terms are between you (the “Collector(s)”) and Squirrel Technologies Inc. (“Squirrel”, “we”, “us” or “our”), an International Business Company formed pursuant to the laws of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. These Terms govern the purchase of the non-fungible token(s) you are purchasing (“Squirrelly Squirrel(s)” or “NFT(s)”) on the Site. By purchasing a Squirrelly Squirrel, the Collector is accepting these Terms. The Collector acknowledges and agrees to provide notice of these Terms to any subsequent purchaser of a Squirrelly Squirrel.

Purchasing a Squirrelly Squirrel

Squirrelly Squirrels may be offered in bundles of up to five for immediate acceptance at a price established by Squirrel. Collectors can purchase Squirrelly Squirrels through the Site by sending a specified amount of cryptocurrency to a smart contract – a term used to describe computer code that automatically executes all or parts of an agreement and is stored on a blockchain-based platform (“Smart Contract”) – configured to initiate a transfer of the Squirrelly Squirrel, plus any additional fees, royalties and taxes.

Transactions Recorded on Ethereum Blockchain and executed through Smart Contracts

Transactions that take place on the Site are managed and confirmed via the Ethereum blockchain network. You understand that your Ethereum public address will be made publicly visible whenever you purchase a Squirrelly Squirrel on this Site. To purchase a Squirrelly Squirrel, a Collector must voluntarily invoke one or more Smart Contract operations from an Ethereum compatible wallet. The Smart Contracts are configured to facilitate the execution of a Collector’s purchase of a Squirrelly Squirrel.

Collection and Disbursement of Fees by the Smart Contract

You agree and understand that all fees, taxes, and royalties are transferred, processed, or initiated directly through one or more of the Smart Contracts on the Ethereum network. By transacting on the Site and by using the Smart Contracts, you hereby acknowledge, consent to, and accept all automated fees, taxes, and royalties for the sale of Squirrelly Squirrels on the Site. The Collector hereby waives any first sale defense or argument with respect to activities resulting in royalties payable.

Gas Fee. The Ethereum network requires the payment of a transaction fee (“Gas Fee”) for every transaction that occurs on the network. The value of the Gas Fee changes, often unpredictably, and is entirely outside of our control. You acknowledge that under no circumstances will a Squirrelly Squirrel purchase be invalidated, revocable, retractable, or otherwise unenforceable on the basis that the Gas Fee for the given transaction was unknown, too high, or otherwise unacceptable. You also acknowledge and agree that Gas Fees are non-refundable under all circumstances.

Royalties. Initial and secondary market sales of Squirrelly Squirrels are respectively subject to royalties. These royalties are disclosed in the metadata of the Smart Contracts governing the sale of the Squirrelly Squirrel and are automatically delivered and/or deducted to the relevant party on the execution of the Smart Contract.

Ownership

You own the Squirrelly Squirrel you purchased. Ownership of the NFT is mediated entirely by the Smart Contract and the blockchain network. At no point may we seize, freeze, or otherwise modify the ownership of any Squirrelly Squirrel.

In connection with your ownership of the Squirrely Squirrel, Squirrel grants you, subject to your continued compliance with these Terms, a limited, worldwide royalty-free license (the “License”) to use, copy and display the art underlying your Squirrelly Squirrel (the “Artwork”), for the following purposes:

1. Commercial Use: for the purpose of making commercial use of the Artwork, for example, by selling copies of the Artwork, selling access to the Artwork, selling derivative works embodying the Artwork, using the Artwork to produce and sell merchandise products, displaying copies of the Artwork, or otherwise commercially exploiting the Artwork.

2. Personal Use: (i) for your own personal use; (ii) as part of a marketplace that permits the purchase and sale of your Squirrelly Squirrel, provided that the marketplace cryptographically verifies each Squirrelly Squirrel’s Collector’s rights to display the Artwork for their Squirrelly Squirrel to ensure that only the actual owner can display the Artwork; (iii) for the purpose of promoting or sharing your purchase, ownership, or interest in your Squirrelly Squirrel or the Artwork, for example, on social media platforms, blogs, digital galleries, or other Internet-based media platforms and other virtual environments; and (iv) for the purpose of sharing, promoting, discussing, or commenting on the Artwork;

You agree and acknowledge that the lawful ownership, possession, and title to a Squirrelly Squirrel is a necessary and sufficient condition precedent to receiving the limited license rights to the underlying Artwork provided by these Terms. Any subsequent transfer, assignment, dispossession, burning, or other relinquishment of a Squirrelly Squirrel will immediately terminate your rights and interest in the License as provided by these Terms.

You agree and acknowledge that Squirrel retains legal ownership, right and title to any copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights to the Artwork and all trade names, trademarks, and logos on the Site (“Marks”) and any other intellectual property rights not specifically granted by the License. You may not use or reproduce any Marks without our express written consent. You may not remove any proprietary Marks from Squirrelly Squirrels or our Site.

Prohibited Use

You may not, nor permit any third party, to do or attempt to:

1. modify, distort, mutilate, or perform any other modification to the Artwork which would be prejudicial to the Squirrel’s reputation (as determined in Squirrel’s sole discretion);

2. use the Artwork in connection with images, videos, or other forms of media that depict hatred, intolerance, violence, cruelty, pornography or anything else that could reasonably be found to constitute hate speech or otherwise infringe upon the rights of others;

3. attempt to Mint, tokenize, or create an additional cryptographic token representing the same Artwork, whether on or off of the Site; or

4. falsify or misrepresent the authorship of the Artwork.

You understand and agree that your license may be revoked in the event that you do not comply with these Terms.

Assumption of the Risk

Cryptocurrency and Smart Contracts Risk

YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND ARE WILLING TO ACCEPT THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CRYPTOGRAPHIC SYSTEMS SUCH AS THE SMART CONTRACTS, THE ETHEREUM NETWORK, AND NFTS.

You acknowledge that Smart Contract and blockchain technologies are experimental, speculative, and may expose you to a risk of total loss, forfeiture of your cryptocurrency, your Squirrelly Squirrel, or lost opportunities to buy Squirrelly Squirrels. You agree to be bound by the outcome of any Smart Contract operation by invoking, calling, requesting, or otherwise engaging with the Smart Contract, whether or not the Smart Contract behaves as you expect.

No Guarantee of Value of Squirrelly Squirrels

The prices of blockchain assets are extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of your Squirrelly Squirrel, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. Squirrelly Squirrels should not be purchased as an investment.
