# Forj TOS

Last Updated: October 1, 2021&#x20;

These Terms of Use constitute a legally binding agreement made between the user (“you”), whether personally or on behalf of an entity and BDVL OÜ, a company incorporated in the Republic of Estonia (The Company”;“we") concerning your access to and use of the “[www.Forj.network”](http://www.Forj.network”) website and the smart-contract based Forj NFT application (“App” or “Application”) as well as any other media form, media channel, mobile website or mobile application, smart contracts related, linked, or otherwise connected thereto (the “website”, Site” and the “App”). A Forj NFT is a digital art collectible built on top of the Ethereum network. The collection consists of three unique collections of non-fungible cryptographic tokens—including the Forj Collectible Card Game NFT, the Polkapets TCG NFT, the Logan Paul NFT, and future NFT collections (collectively, the “Forj NFTs” or “Art”) that are hashed on the blockchain and are represented by a non-fungible token (“NFT”) each. In addition, each NFT accumulates a utility token (“NCT”), which serves only one purpose: To rename the NFT on Ethereum. There are no other functionalities of the NCT token. The Forj NFT smart contract allows participants to purchase the NFT representing the digital portraits from a specific Forj NFT collection. The NCT utility token cannot be purchased, but it can be freely accumulated by holding the NFT. The only utility of the NCT token is to change the name of the NFT on the Ethereum blockchain. The Company does not provide or intend to provide a secondary market place for the NFT or NCT. Forj NFTs will provide a user interface to visualize the digital art works. After the sale of an NCT to you, the ownership of the NFT, and to the connected Art, is transferred from the Ethereum smart contract to the purchaser and concludes the business transaction between both parties. The Company is selling the Art via the NFT and is making the Application available to you. Before you purchase an NFT and use the UI and the Ethereum smart contracts, however, you will need to agree to these Terms of Use and any terms and conditions incorporated herein by reference (collectively, these "Terms"). PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE MAKING A PURCHASE OF AN NFT AND/OR USING THE APP. THESE TERMS GOVERN YOUR PURCHASE OF A Forj NFT AND USE OF THE APPLICATION, UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS EXECUTED A SEPARATE WRITTEN AGREEMENT WITH YOU FOR THAT PURPOSE. THE COMPANY IS ONLY WILLING TO MAKE THE Forj NFTs AND THE APP AVAILABLE TO YOU IF YOU ACCEPT ALL OF THESE TERMS. BY USING THE APPLICATION, OR ANY PART OF THEM, OR BY CLICKING “I ACCEPT” BELOW OR INDICATING YOUR ACCEPTANCE IN AN ADJOINING BOX, YOU ARE CONFIRMING THAT YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THESE TERMS. IF YOU ARE ACCEPTING THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO ACCEPT THESE TERMS ON THAT ENTITY’S BEHALF, IN WHICH CASE “YOU” WILL MEAN THAT ENTITY. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, OR IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT ALL OF THESE TERMS, THEN WE ARE UNWILLING TO MAKE THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, OR THE SITE AVAILABLE TO YOU. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, OR THE SITE.

1. THE Forj APP A. The Forj NFT App is a set of three collections of unique digital portraits (stored in .jpeg format on IPFS), each represented by a NFT. By holding an NFT in your wallet, you accumulate the NCT for free, which allows you to change the name on the Ethereum blockchain. B. The Forj NFTs are sold during an initial sales period of up to \[time period] according to the price schedule displayed on the website ([www.Forj.network](http://www.Forj.network)). All unsold NFTs during the initial sales period will remain purchasable after the initial sales period has concluded as the sale is encoded in the smart contract. The Company does not provide any additional services to the user after the business transaction is concluded. C. You can access the App via any web browser using the URL <https://www.Forj.network> and an electronic Ethereum wallet compatible with the NFT standard on the Ethereum network, such as the MetaMask wallet. You will not be able to engage in any transactions on the App other than through MetaMask, or other Ethereum-compatible browsers. D. Transactions on the App are managed and confirmed via the Ethereum blockchain. We neither own nor control MetaMask, Google Chrome, the Ethereum network, or any other third-party site, product, or service that you might access, visit, or use for the purpose of enabling you to use the various features of the App. We will not be liable for the acts or omissions of any such third parties, nor will we be liable for any damage that you may suffer as a result of your transactions or any other interaction with any such third parties. E. You are responsible for your MetaMask wallet (and other Ethereum wallets) and the private key to access it. F. The Forj NFTs are digital art works and serve no other purpose other than that of an art work. The Name Changing Token serves only one purpose: to change the name of your NFT on-chain.
2. PAYMENT A. If you decide to purchase a Forj NFT digital art portrait from the contract, any financial transactions will be conducted solely through the Ethereum network. We have no control over these payments or transactions, nor do we have the ability to reverse any transactions. With that in mind, the company will have no liability to you or to any third party for any claims or damages that may arise as a result of any transactions that you engage in via the App, or using the Smart Contracts, or any other transactions that you conduct via the Ethereum network. B. Ethereum requires the payment of a transaction fee (a “Gas Fee”) for every transaction that occurs on the Ethereum network. The Gas Fee funds the network of computers that run the decentralized Ethereum network. This means that you will need to pay a Gas Fee for each transaction that occurs via the App. The Gas Fee does not go to us and we have no control over its pricing. D. All paid prices exclude any possible duties or charges. You will be solely responsible to pay any and all sales, use, value-added and other taxes, duties, and assessments (except taxes on our net income) now or hereafter claimed or imposed by any governmental authority (collectively, “Taxes”) associated with your use of the App (including, without limitation, any Taxes that may become payable as the result of your ownership of a Forj. Except for income and net-wealth taxes levied on The Company , you: (i) will pay or reimburse us for all national, federal, state, local or other taxes and assessments of any jurisdiction, including value added taxes and taxes as required by international tax treaties, customs or other import or export taxes, and amounts levied in lieu thereof based on charges set, services performed or payments made hereunder, as are now or hereafter may be imposed under the authority of any national, state, local or any other taxing jurisdiction; and (ii) shall not be entitled to deduct the amount of any such taxes, duties or assessments from payments made to us pursuant to these Terms. You confirm that you are not a resident in Switzerland nor are you registered for Goods and services tax in Switzerland.
3. OWNERSHIP AND RESTRICTIONS A. Ownership i. You Own the NFT. Each individual Forj NFT is a NFT on the Ethereum blockchain. When you purchase a Forj NFT, you own the underlying NFT, the Art, completely. Ownership of the NFT is mediated entirely by the Smart Contract and the Ethereum Network: at no point may we seize, freeze, or otherwise modify the ownership of any Forj NFT. In addition, any NFT holder will be eligible to claim NCT tokens for free from the NCT Contract. The NCT tokens can then, and solely, be used to change the name of the NFT on the Ethereum Blockchain. We strictly prohibit the use of offensive language in the name giving process. Any insulting names will be removed from the User Interface. Since the smart contracts are open to anyone, we cannot hinder a name change on the Ethereum blockchain. ii. Personal Use. Subject to your continued compliance with these Terms, The Company grants you a worldwide, exclusive, royalty-free license to use, copy, and display the purchased Art, along with any extensions that you choose to create or use, solely for the following purposes: (i) for your own personal, non-commercial use; (ii) as part of a marketplace that permits the purchase and sale of your Forj NFTs, provided that the marketplace cryptographically verifies each Forj NFT-owner’s rights to display the Art for their Forj 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 Forj, provided that the website/application cryptographically verifies each owner’s rights of a Forj NFT to display the Art for their Forj NFT 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 Forj leaves the website/application.

B. Restrictions. You agree that you may not, nor permit any third party do any of the following without Company’s express written consent in each case: (i) modify the Art or create derivative works based upon the Art; (ii) use the Art to advertise, market, or sell any third party product or service; (iii) sell, distribute for commercial gain or commercialize merchandise that includes or contains the Art; (iv) attempt to trademark, copyright, or otherwise acquire additional intellectual property rights in or to the Art; (v) use the Art in connection with images, videos, or other forms of media that depict hatred, intolerance, violence, cruelty, or otherwise infringe upon the rights of others; and (vi) use the Art in movies, videos, or other forms of media except solely for your own personal and non-commercial use. By using the App and/or purchasing a Forj NFT, you confirm to not be listed, or associated with any person or entity being listed, on any of the US Department of Commerce’s Denied Persons or Entity List, the US Department of Treasury’s Specially Designated Nationals or Blocked Persons Lists, the US Department of State’s Debarred Parties List You further confirm not to be resident of, citizen of or located in a geographic area that is subject to UN-, US-, EU-, Swiss embargoes. You confirm not to be resident in Switzerland. You confirm to not be domiciled in or organized under the laws of any country, whose legislation conflicts with the present purchase of NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain or the purpose of The Company in general. You agree that you may not, nor permit any third party to do or attempt to do any of the foregoing without Company ’s express prior written consent in each case: (ii) use the Art for your Purchased Forj NFT to advertise, market, or sell any third party product or service; (ii) use the Art for your Purchased Forj NFT in connection with images, videos, or other forms of media that depict hatred, intolerance, violence, cruelty, or anything else that could reasonably be found to constitute hate speech or otherwise infringe upon the rights of others; (iii) sell, distribute for commercial gain (including, without limitation, giving away in the hopes of eventual commercial gain), or otherwise commercialize merchandise that includes, contains, or consists of the Art for your Purchased Forj NFT, except as expressly permitted in these Terms; (iv) attempt to trademark, copyright, or otherwise acquire additional intellectual property rights in or to the Art for your Purchased Forj NFT; or (e.g., licensed intellectual property from a celebrity, athlete, or other public figure), you understand and agree as follows: (v) that you will not have the right to use such Third Party IP in any way except as incorporated in the Art, and subject to the license and restrictions contained herein; (x) that the Commercial Use license in Section 3.C(ii) above will not apply; (y) that, depending on the nature of the license granted from the owner of the Third Party IP, The Company may need to pass through additional restrictions on your ability to use the Art; and (z) to the extent that The Company informs you of such additional restrictions in writing (email is permissible), you will be responsible for complying with all such restrictions from the date that you receive the notice, and that failure to do so will be deemed a breach of this license. The restrictions in this Section will survive the expiration or termination of these Terms. 4. TERMINATION In the event of any Force Majeure Event (including a pandemic), breach of these Terms, or any other event that would make provision of the App or the Site commercially unreasonable for Company, we may, in our discretion and without liability to you, with or without prior notice, suspend your access to all or a portion of the App or the Site. We may terminate your access to the App or the Site as far as technically feasible in our sole discretion, immediately and without prior notice, and delete or deactivate your Account and all related information and files in such account without liability to you, including, for instance, in the event that you breach any term of these Terms. 5. ASSUMPTION OF RISK You accept and acknowledge each of the following: A. There are risks associated with using cryptocurrencies, including, but not limited to, the risk of hardware, software and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information stored within your wallet. You accept and acknowledge that The Company will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using the Ethereum network, however caused. B. You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, Taxes apply to your NFT-related transactions. The Company is not responsible for determining the Taxes that apply to your transactions on the App, the Site, or the Smart Contracts. C. The App does not store, send, or receive Forj NFTs. This is because Forj NFTs exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on the App’s supporting blockchain in the Ethereum network. Any transfer of Forj NFTs occurs within the supporting blockchain in the Ethereum network, and not on the App. D. The prices of blockchain assets are very volatile. Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of your Forj NFTs, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. We cannot guarantee that any purchasers of Forj NFTs will not lose money. E. Risk of loss of private key or passphrase(s): The company is not responsible for your private keys, which you need in order to access the NFTs. It is your sole responsibility to protect your private keys. In case of lost, the company takes no responsibility. F. The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the Forj NFT ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of Forj NFTs. G. Upgrades by Ethereum to the Ethereum platform, a hard fork in the Ethereum platform, or a change in how transactions are confirmed on the Ethereum platform may have unintended, adverse effects on all blockchains using the ERC-721 standard, including the Forj NFT ecosystem. 6. LIMITATION OF WARRANTY, LIABILITY AND DISCLAIMERS EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS, THE COMPANY DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AND EXPLICITLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, WHETHER EX-PRESS, IMPLIED, WRITTEN, ORAL OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND WARRANTIES OTHERWISE ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR USAGE OF TRADE.

YOU ACCEPT THE INHERENT SECURITY RISKS OF PROVIDING INFORMATION AND DEALING ONLINE OVER THE INTERNET, AND AGREE THAT WE HAVE NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY BREACH OF SECURITY UNLESS IT IS DUE TO OUR WILFUL INTENT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE. C. WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOSSES YOU INCUR AS THE RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE ETHEREUM NETWORK OR THE METAMASK WALLET, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY LOSSES, DAMAGES OR CLAIMS ARISING FROM: (i) USER ERROR, SUCH AS FORGOTTEN PASSWORDS OR INCORRECTLY CONSTRUED SMART CONTRACTS OR OTHER TRANSACTIONS; (ii) SERVER FAILURE OR DATA LOSS; (iii) CORRUPTED WALLET FILES; OR (iv) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS OR ACTIVITIES BY THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE USE OF VIRUSES, PHISHING, BRUTEFORCING OR OTHER MEANS OF ATTACK AGAINST THE APP, ETHEREUM NETWORK, OR THE METAMASK ELECTRONIC WALLET.

The company may assign your agreement to any affiliate of the company, any other company that obtains control of the company, or any other company that buys assets of the company related to the forum. Any attempted assignment against these terms has no legal effect.

We shall not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, delay, or failure to act caused by any cause beyond our reasonable control. If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, void, and unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. There is no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship created between you and us as a result of these Terms or use of the Site. You agree that these Terms will not be construed against us by virtue of having drafted them. You hereby waive any and all defenses you may have based on the electronic form of these Terms of Use and the lack of signing by the parties here to execute these Terms.
