5. DIGITAL WALLETS AND CURRENCY.
- The Services are built on top of the Ethereum network, but the Services may use other decentralized blockchain-based protocols instead of or as well as Ethereum, or forks of Ethereum or other such protocols. References in these Terms to Ethereum should be deemed to also refer to any other protocol we use.
- Users can only make purchases using the cryptocurrency Ethereum (“ETH”). We may update the cryptocurrency you can use to buy collectibles from time to time at our sole discretion.
- You must associate a compatible non-custodial wallet (e.g., a MetaMask wallet) (“External Wallet”) with your account in order to purchase, store and engage in transactions using the interface provided by the Platform. More information may be provided in the specific terms and conditions of an individual drop. We may update the range of compatible wallets from time to time at RareMint's sole discretion.
- 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 operated by, maintained by, supported by, or affiliated with RareMint.
- RareMint does not have custody or control over the contents of your wallet, and the private keys necessary to decrypt an External Wallet are held solely by you. RareMint has no ability to help you access or recover your private keys for your External Wallet.
- RareMint accepts no responsibility or liability to you in connection with your use of a External Wallet, and makes no representations or warranties regarding how the Services will operate with any specific External Wallet. If you discover an issue related to your External Wallet, please contact your wallet provider.
- You are solely responsible for keeping your wallet secure and you should never share your wallet credentials or seed phrase with anyone. RareMint is not liable for any acts or omissions by you in connection with your External Wallet or as a result of your External Wallet being compromised. You agree to notify RareMint promptly upon discovering that your External Wallet has been compromised.
- RareMint reserves the right to refuse to associate an External Wallet with a User's Account in its sole and exclusive discretion. If you attempt to associate your Account with a Non-Custodial Wallet bearing risk factors, such attempts may result in the suspension or termination of your Account, each as determined in RareMint's sole and exclusive discretion. If you decide to transfer an asset, RareMint accepts no liability or responsibility for any such transfer, including for any loss, data corruption, or other negative impact that may occur to your NFTs or wallets or other assets when attempting to transfer assets between wallets.
6. DIGITAL WALLETS AND CURRENCY.
- Through the RareMint Services, you may be permitted to purchase buy and own collectible NFTs created by RareMint that are (a) connected to the corresponding physical asset held in our vault (“Asset-Backed NFTs”), or (b) digital-only editions (“Digital-Only NFTs”) (each a “Collectible”).
- NFTs will be minted by RareMint on the blockchain specified by RareMint and stored and managed within a RareMint custodial wallet until purchased.
- RareMint will list, or “drop,” new Collectibles on the RareMint marketplace, where users can then purchase the Collectibles exclusively on the Services.
- Asset-Backed NFTs. Asset-Backed NFTs are digital tokens that represent ownership of a physical item of sports memorabilia (each a “Physical Asset”).
- When you purchase an Asset-Backed NFT at RareMint, you acquire sole ownership of the associated Physical Asset. Each Physical Asset will be held in custody at RareMint's secure vault unless or until the purchaser redeems the Asset-Backed NFT in accordance with this Section 6.2.
- Vault services are currently provided at no additional cost. Vault services include placement in our secure vault, insurance and proper storage inside the vault in such a manner as to protect it from damage, loss, or theft, using a commercially reasonable degree of care.
- At any time, you may notify RareMint in writing of your election to redeem the Asset-Backed NFT for possession of the Physical Asset.
- Upon such election, the Asset-Backed NFT is returned to RareMint and “burned.”
- The Physical Asset will be removed from the RareMint vault, packed, and shipped to you, at your cost, using a commercially-reasonable shipping service and insurance.
- You are solely responsible for payment of any tax that may be due upon shipment of the Physical Asset, which may include, without limitation, sales, use, value-added and other taxes, duties and assessments on any sales or other similar tax that may be due as set forth by RareMint.
- You agree that you will not attempt to sell a Physical Asset other than by selling the associated Asset-Backed NFT, unless you first elect to redeem the Asset-Backed NFT for the Physical Asset.
- Digital-Only NFTs. Digital-Only NFTs may comprise a digital artwork created or licensed by RareMint or may grant the NFT holder rights to obtain certain additional products or services, such as unlocking a reward or access to an exclusive event.
- Additional rights in Collectibles are limited by and subject to the rights set forth in the Content License described in Section 9.
7. PURCHASING COLLECTIBLES.
- The Platform provides users with a convenient interface that allows users to offer for sale, sell and buy Collectibles (each a “Transaction”). RareMint will be the initial seller of each Collectible, and the first Transaction relating to a Collectible will be between RareMint and the initial purchaser. Subsequent Transactions relating to such Collectible will be directly between users.
- When you purchase a Collectible, you (a) agree to pay the price for such Collectible as set forth in the applicable Service, together with any charges necessary to the fulfillment of the NFTs (including but not limited to any required gas fees) in connection with your purchase; and (b) authorize us and/or a third-party platform or system that fulfills payments for NFTs to charge your credit card, transact with your digital wallet, or other payment method for the Full Purchase Amount.
- You are solely responsible for 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 associated with a Transaction.
- All fees and charges are payable in accordance with payment terms in effect at the time the fee or the charge becomes payable. Orders will not be processed until payment has been received in full, and any holds on your account by any payment processor are solely your responsibility. Your order may be suspended or cancelled for any reason, including if the payment method cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable.
- Unless otherwise noted, all currency references displayed on the Platform are in Ethereum, and any correlated US dollar or any other currency displayed is meant as guidance to the estimated conversion price but is not binding on the Transaction.
- You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use the payment method you provide to a third-party platform or system that fulfills payments for NFTs, including, without limitation, any credit card you provide when completing a transaction.
- Upon purchasing a Collectible, the associated NFT will appear in your RareMint portfolio and corresponding External Wallet. You will see a record of your Transactions on the applicable blockchain ledger. You acknowledge and understand that your Ethereum public address will be made publicly visible whenever you engage in a Transaction.
- You acknowledge and agree that all information you provide with regards to an NFT transaction, including, without limitation, cryptocurrency, credit card or other payment information as the Platform may accept through a third-party platform or system from time-to-time, is accurate, current and complete.
- With the exception of the initial sale of each Collectible, RareMint is not a party to any Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge that RareMint may impose a fee (sometime referred to as a royalty) on any sales of a Collectible after its initial purchase, and regardless whether such secondary sale occurs on the Platform or on some other platform. The fee structure will be disclosed on the Platform.
- We may, at our sole discretion, terminate, suspend or restrict your access to the Platform if there is reasonable suspicion by us that that the Collectible has been or will be used for any illegal, fraudulent, or unauthorized purposes.
8. OWNERSHIP OF COLLECTIBLES.
- For every Collectible, RareMint is the initial owner of the Collectible. RareMint may promote and offer any Collectible for sale via the Platform.
- The purchaser of a Collectible does not acquire any intellectual property or other rights to any content, materials, art, design, and drawings (in any form or medium, including, without limitation, video or photographs) (collectively, “NFT Content”) referenced by a Collectible or the Physical Asset associated with an Asset-Backed NFT.
- When you purchase a NFT, you own the NFT but you do not own any intellectual property rights in the NFT Content except for the license grants expressly set forth in Section 9 herein.
- If the NFT Content incidentally displays intellectual property not owned by RareMint (“Third-Party IP”)—e.g., sports team logos, athlete names—you understand and agree as follows:
- your purchase of the Collectible does not confer any right or license to use such Third-Party IP in any way except as incorporated in the NFT Content, and subject to the license and restrictions contained herein;
- to the extent that we inform you of any additional restrictions on your use of the NFT Content, you will be responsible for complying with all such restrictions from the date that you receive the notice, and failure to do so will be deemed a breach of the license contained herein; and
- Asset-Backed NFTs are not affiliated or associated with, sponsored or endorsed by, offered under license from, or officially connected to any third-party, including but not limited to any sports league, sports team, athlete, brand, or any subsidiaries or affiliates of any of them. Any third-party trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, slogans, names, or other source identifiers or the name, voice, signature, or other likeness of any individual that may be incidentally displayed or used in Asset-Backed NFTs are all the property of the applicable third-party. Please visit the applicable brand's website for more information on official brand products.
- When you buy a Collectible, you will retain the ability to transfer the Collectible to other parties. You may resell Asset-Backed NFTs and Digital-Only NFTs on an applicable blockchain, provided that any subsequent purchase of your NFT will also be subject to these Terms and may include a secondary sale fee, paid in most cases by the seller.
CONTENT LICENSE.
- Subject to your compliance with these Terms, RareMint hereby grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use and display the NFT Content for each Collectible you purchase for so long as you are the valid owner and holder of the Collectible, solely for the following purposes:
- for your own personal, non-commercial use;
- for listing on a marketplace that permits the purchase and sale of NFTs, provided that the marketplace cryptographically verifies each NFT owner's rights to display the NFT Content to ensure that only the actual owner can display the NFT Content; or
- as part of a third-party website or application that permits the inclusion, involvement, or display of NFTs for non-commercial purposes, provided that (A) the website or application cryptographically verifies each NFT owner's rights to display the NFT Content to ensure that only the actual owner can display the NFT Content, (B) the website or application prevents other users from downloading, saving, or otherwise creating copies of the NFT Content, and (C) the NFT Content is no longer visible once the owner of the NFT leaves the website or application.
- You may not, nor will you permit any third party to, do or attempt to do any of the following without RareMint's (or, as applicable, our licensors') express prior written consent in each case:
- modify the NFT Content in any way, including, without limitation, copying, modifying, editing, reverse engineering, decompiling, disassembling, or creating derivative works of any part of the Collectible or the metadata, shapes, designs, drawings, attributes, or color schemes;
- use the NFT Content to advertise, market, or sell any product or service other than the Collectible itself;
- use the NFT Content 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;
- 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 NFT Content;
- attempt to trademark, copyright, or otherwise acquire additional intellectual property rights in or to the NFT Content; or
- otherwise utilize the NFT Content for your or any third party's commercial benefit.
- RareMint does not own, and therefore does not grant any license in, the Third-Party IP embodied in any Physical Asset. All rights other than those applicable to the owner of the Physical Asset are expressly reserved to their respective owners.
10. PURCHASES MADE FOR CONSUMPTIVE USE; NO INVESTMENT ADVICE
You acknowledge and affirm that you are purchasing NFTs, whether through the Platform or through a third-party platform, for purposes of acquiring digital collectibles and not for any investment or speculative purposes. Any economic benefit that may be derived from appreciation in the value of the NFT is incidental to obtaining it for its collectible purpose. RareMint does not provide investment, tax, or legal advice, or any other sort of advice, nor does RareMint broker NFT trades or trading in any other assets traded on the Service on your behalf. All transfers of NFTs or any other assets on the Service are based on the parameters of your instructions via the Services, and you are solely responsible for your actions and to conduct your own due diligence.
11. ASSUMPTION OF THE RISK.
You expressly understand and agree that:
- All use of the Services is at your own risk, and you are solely responsible for determining the level of risk involved. RareMint is not responsible for any losses you may suffer as a result of any drop in value or other aspects of the sale or purchase of any Collectible.
- We cannot guarantee that any Collectibles purchased or acquired by you will retain their original value or will have any particular value. You understand that the value of sports memorabilia is inherently subjective, and factors occurring outside of the Platform may materially impact the value and desirability of any particular Collectible.
- You assume all risk associated with the use and value of NFTs. NFTs are subject to volatility, and fluctuations in the price of cryptocurrency can also materially and adversely affect NFT prices. You acknowledge that you fully understand this subjectivity and volatility and that you may lose money.
- Blockchain technologies and NFTs are subject to many legal and regulatory uncertainties, and the Platform, NFTs, and Collectibles could be adversely impacted by one or more regulatory, or legal inquiries, actions, suits, investigations, claims, fines or judgments, which could materially adversely affect the development of the Services and the utility of NFTs.
- RareMint does not control the public blockchains that you are interacting with, and we do not control certain smart contracts and protocols that may be integral to your ability to complete transactions on these public blockchains. Additionally, blockchain transactions are irreversible and RareMint has no ability to reverse any transactions on the blockchain.
- There are risks associated with using an Internet-based currency, 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 electronic wallet.
- Cryptocurrencies are not backed by any government, central bank, physical value, or another guarantee. Their values and liquidity can materially fluctuate up and down due to market activity and sentiment, public and regulator sentiment, legislation, regulatory and governmental steps taken in relation to crypto-assets generally, or specifically, and other factors outside of the control of users.
- There are risks associated with purchasing items associated with content created by third parties through peer-to-peer transactions, including but not limited to, the risk of purchasing counterfeit items, mislabeled items, items that are vulnerable to metadata decay, items on smart contracts with bugs, and items that may become untransferable. You are solely responsible for performing sufficient research before making any decisions to sell, obtain, transfer, or otherwise interact with any Collectibles or sellers.
- RareMint provides its Services on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. RareMint expressly disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to, (A) the implied warranties of merchantability, title, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, and (B) any warranties that the Services will be without error or viruses, worms, or other harmful software or hardware. If you are dissatisfied with any portion of the Services, or with any of these Terms, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using the Services.
- RareMint is not liable for any defects in, unavailability of, changes to, or acts or omissions of liable for any acts or omissions of the provider of any third-party service you use in connection with the Service, including but not limited to providers of Internet service, External Wallets, or blockchain networks.
- The Ethereum network may be subject to sudden changes in operating rules, and third parties may, from time to time, fork the Ethereum blockchain and implement changes in the operating rules or other features that might result in multiple versions of Ethereum and, possibly, more than one version of the NFT. This may affect the value and the function of the initial NFT and we can temporarily suspend our services while we determine, at our sole and absolute discretion, which network to support. Such networks and forks are outside of our control and we can decide, at our sole and absolute discretion, to abandon or otherwise not support the initial or the copy of the NFT. We may, at our sole and absolute discretion, obtain and retain the unsupported NFTs.
- RareMint will not be able to restore or issue any refund in respect of any Collectibles due to lost or stolen private cryptocurrency or External Wallet keys. If you are not able to access or use a Collectible due to loss or theft of the corresponding private key or otherwise, you will be unable to exercise your rights with respect to such Collectible. See details on the Platform as to any processes in place to assist you (which are at our discretion).
- Except for NFT Content created or commissioned by RareMint, RareMint shall not be liable for any errors, misrepresentations, or omissions in, of, and about, the underlying NFT Content, nor for the availability of the NFT Content. RareMint shall not be liable for any losses, injuries, or damages from the purchase, inability to purchase, display, or use of the underlying NFT Content.
- There can be no guarantee or assurance of the uniqueness, originality or quality of any Collectible. You have no recourse or rights against us in relation to the existence of similar or identical works, or in relation to the infringement of any third-party rights, except to the extent the intellectual property allegedly infringed was created or commissioned by RareMint.
- There is a risk that RareMint may be obligated to take down listings from the Platform if it has received a Digital Millennium Copyright Notice (“DMCA Notice”). RareMint may also be obligated to serve a DMCA Notice to its IPFS service provider. If this occurs, the NFT representing the Collectible may no longer reference the NFT Content. Collectibles linked to images subject to a DMCA Notice may subsequently reference an invalid file location or a file that no longer exists.
- No employee or agent of RareMint, and no information on the Platform, can create any warranty not expressly set forth in the Terms or the Privacy Policy nor waive any disclaimer or waiver expressly set forth in the Terms or the Privacy Policy.

The information and other content on or presented to you through the Platform may be protected by various laws relating to intellectual property, including, but not limited to, copyrights and trademarks. You may not modify, distribute, copy, reproduce, or create derivative works based on the Site, the information or other content on the Site, or any Collectible, in whole or in part. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Platform, NFT, or its underlying technologies, except to the extent the foregoing restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law. RareMint holds the copyright to those portions of the Platform it owns and reserves all its rights. RareMint's trademarks, trade names, service marks, logos, and service names are marks that belong to RareMint or its licensors, and you may not display them or use them in any manner without the express prior written permission of RareMint.
16. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES.
The Site may include materials from and links to websites operated by parties other than RareMint. RareMint provides such information for general informational purposes only and does not endorse or approve the information on those sites, the entities sponsoring those sites, or those entities' products or services. As RareMint has no control over these third-party websites or resources, you agree RareMint will not be responsible or liable for any content, statements, representations, advertising, products, services, or other materials on or available from such sites or resources. You also agree RareMint will not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for, and waive all claims against RareMint arising out of, any damage or loss you may suffer by using or relying on any such content, statements, representations, advertising, products, services, or other materials.

RareMint owes no duty to you to enforce these Terms, you may not rely on RareMint to enforce these Terms, and RareMint will not be liable to you if it fails to enforce these Terms.
18. WAIVER AND RELEASE OF CLAIMS.
You hereby release RareMint, its affiliates, and its and their respective managers/directors, officers, employees, and agents, from any and all claims that may arise as a result of your use of the Services, your inability to use the Services, or any content on the Site. If you reside in California or if the laws of California otherwise apply to you, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states: “a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.” You acknowledge you have carefully read this Paragraph 18 and fully understand that it is a release of liability. Because some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion, limitation, or waiver of liability as set forth in this Section and the preceding Section, some of these provisions may not apply to you if prohibited by law.
19. ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
- Informal Process First. You agree that in the event of any dispute between you and RareMint, you will first contact RareMint 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.
- Arbitration Agreement. After the informal dispute resolution process, any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) relating in any way to your use of RareMint's services, Platform NFTs 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 RareMint 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 these Terms). 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 videoconference, 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. This arbitration agreement shall survive the termination of your relationship RareMint.
- Waiver of Class Actions and Class Arbitrations. You and RareMint 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 RareMint agree that no dispute shall proceed by way of class arbitration without the written consent of all affected parties.
- Costs of Arbitration. 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, RareMint 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.
- Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and waiver of class provisions set forth in these Terms by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to support@raremint.com or to our mailing address listed in the “How to Contact Us” section of these Terms. The notice must be sent to RareMint within thirty (30) days of your registering to use the Services or agreeing to these Terms (or if this Section 19, pertaining to arbitration, is materially amended hereafter, within 30 days of such amendment being effective), otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with these Terms, and the notice must specify your name and mailing address. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, RareMint also will not be bound by them.
- Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything in these Terms 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 RareMint 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.
- Our Right to Seek Injunctive Relief. Nothing in these Terms will prevent RareMint from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to protect its proprietary interests. By way of example and not limitation, you acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach or threatened violation of our intellectual property rights and confidential and proprietary information by you, we will suffer irreparable harm and will therefore be entitled to seek any interim, equitable, provisional, or injunctive relief that is necessary to protect our rights and property pending the outcome of the arbitration referenced above.
20. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the British Virgin Islands, except that there may be certain mandatory applicable laws of your country or region that apply for your benefit and protection in addition to or instead of certain provisions of British Virgin Islands law.
