The NFT

5. Minting the NFT

5.1 We, and other rights holders and partners with whom we may partner from time to time ("Partners"), may decide to make certain Content available on the Platform for the purposes of creating or ‘minting’ (“Minting” or “Mint”) NFTs.

5.2 Subject to availability, the Platform will allow you to Mint NFTs using certain Content.

5.3 When you exercise your right to Mint an NFT through the Platform in accordance with these Terms, the relevant NFT will be automatically created on the MetaMask wallet that you used to access the Platform.

5.4 Please note that, where more than one piece of Content is made available for Minting, the exact Content that will be associated with the NFT will be selected at random from the available Content.

5.5 For the avoidance of doubt, please note that it is not possible to change the Content that is associated with the NFT, and that any right of refund shall lapse upon the relevant NFT being Minted.

6. Your Ownership of the NFT

6.1 Upon Minting an NFT, you become its legal owner. However, unless otherwise stated by us, you do not own the Content that is associated with the relevant NFT. Instead, subject to term 6.2 below, we shall grant you a worldwide, exclusive, transferable, licence to access and display the Content associated with your NFT for non-commercial purposes ("Content Licence").

6.2 The rights granted by us in connection with the NFT pursuant to these Terms (including the Platform Licence and the Content Licence) shall at any time be subject to our ability to grant such rights pursuant to the contractual agreements with the Partners (or with any other relevant third party). In the event that we are or become unable to grant any such right, under no circumstance we shall be liable to you (or to any new holder of the NFTs).

7. Transferring the NFT

7.1 Your right to transfer an NFT in accordance with these Terms (a “Transfer”) is subject to payment of a fixed fee or royalty ("Royalty"). Each NFT may be subject to a different Royalty. The Royalty is embedded within the smart contract underpinning the NFT and, as a result, is automatically applied in order to facilitate a Transfer.

2.2 The Content Licence that is associated with your NFT is transferred together with the NFT to the new owner of the NFT.

Additional Terms

8. Our Intellectual Property Rights

8.1 The Platform, the Content, and other materials contained therein, including, without limitation, our logo, and all designs, text graphics, pictures, information, data, software, and files relating to the Platform are our property or the property of our affiliates, licensors, or Partners, as applicable ("Intellectual Property"). Unless otherwise stated, you may not copy, imitate, or use, in whole or in part, any Intellectual Property without our express written permission.

9. Data Protection / Privacy

9.1 By using the Platform, you confirm that you have read and understood our Privacy Notice. For full and comprehensive information about when and why we collect personal information about you, how we use it, the conditions under which we may disclose it and how we keep it secure, please refer to our Privacy Notice, as available at BigFan.io.

10. Limitation of Services / Termination / Account Closure

10.1 We reserve the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate or suspend your access to or use of the Platform, at any time for any reason but in particular, if we suspect in our sole discretion that your Web3 wallet is being used in violation of these Terms.

11. Risks

11.1 Please consider the following risk factors (many of which are specific and inherent to cryptographic assets, including NFTs) before using any part of our Platform and before purchasing your right to Mint an NFT(s). The value of an NFT as well as your ability to access and transfer an NFT could be materially and adversely affected if any of these risk factors materialise. As a result, when you purchase an NFT you expose yourself to considerable risk, including (but not limited to) any of the following:

11.1.1 The value of an NFT is determined in accordance with the principle of offer and demand, but can be subject to dramatic fluctuations and high volatility due to events such as but not limited to: (a) good or bad publicity; (b) changes in the industry; (c) technological advancement; (d) market trends; (e) general economic and/or political conditions; (f) degree of adoption; (g) degree of institutional support; (h) regulatory measures; (i) degree of government support; (l) market dynamics; (m) trading activities,; (n) hacking; and (o) events affecting large service providers, including exchanges.

11.1.2 NFTs are stored on cryptographic wallets, such as the Web3 wallet that is required to sign into the Platform. A private key (for example, a passphrase) is usually necessary to access, control and/or dispose of NFTs that are stored in your cryptographic wallet. Losing access to the private key(s) associated with your Wallet may result in the permanent loss of your ability to access and dispose of your NFT(s). You are solely responsible for implementing all reasonable and appropriate measures for securing access to your private key(s) and Wallet.

11.1.3 NFTs are recorded on distributed ledgers (typically shared across networks of users) which are governed by, subject to, and distinguished on the basis of certain set of rules known as protocols.

Any malfunction, breakdown, and/or abandonment of the protocols (and of any consensus mechanism, where applicable) on which an NFT is based could severely affect the price of the NFT as well as your ability to dispose of the NFT (particularly where the protocol relies on substantial participation and wide networks to operate properly).

Some protocols integrate consensus-based mechanisms for the validation of transfers (“Consensus Protocols”). Consensus Protocols are, therefore, susceptible to attacks at the stage of validation, where the token transactions is approved by the network. This may affect the accuracy of transactions occurring on the protocol, and in your NFT being misappropriated (for example, through what is typically referred to as double spending attacks).

NFT may be subject to expropriation and/or theft. Bad actors (including hackers, groups and organisations) may attempt to interfere with the protocols or the NFT in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, sybil attacks, smurfing and spoofing.

Furthermore, some protocols are based on open-source software and, as a result, subject to the risk of weakness being introduced to the protocols (either willingly or accidentally) at the development stage. Any such weakness may be exploited by bad actors for the purposes of misappropriating your NFT, or otherwise affect the functionality of the protocol and of your ability to dispose of your NFT.

11.1.4 The legal and/or regulatory framework surrounding NFTs is uncertain, not harmonised, and unsettled in many jurisdictions. As a result, it is difficult to predict what framework will become applicable to NFTs in the near future and how the implementation of dedicated legal and/or regulatory frameworks will affect the price and viability of an NFT. A newly introduced legal and regulatory framework may interfere with or otherwise limit your ability to hold or dispose of your NFT.

11.2 As mentioned above, this section 11 is not exhaustive. You should carry out further research to determine whether purchasing and/or trading an NFT is suitable for your particular risk tolerance. You understand and agree that you access and use the Platform at your own risk.

11.3 Furthermore, you understand and agree that we will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, or distortions you may experience when using NFTs or the Platform.

12. Taxes

12.1 You agree that you are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your Minting, use, and transfer of an NFT, and we shall not be held responsible for determining the taxes that may apply to any such activity.
