Please read these Terms of Service (the "Terms") and our Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") carefully because they govern your use of the website and interface located at https://ip.world/ (the "Interface") offered by IP.world ("IP World," "We" or "our"), which is a platform that enables users to access third party blockchain protocols to create and publish memes. To make these Terms easier to read, the Interface and our services are collectively called the "Services."
THE SERVICES ARE NOT OFFERED TO PERSONS OR ENTITIES WHO RESIDE IN, ARE CITIZENS OF, ARE LOCATED IN, ARE INCORPORATED IN, OR HAVE A REGISTERED OFFICE IN ANY RESTRICTED TERRITORY, AS DEFINED BELOW (ANY SUCH PERSON OR ENTITY FROM A RESTRICTED TERRITORY, A "RESTRICTED PERSON").
By using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms, you are not authorized to use the Services. If you are accessing and using the Services on behalf of a company (such as your employer) or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms. In that case, "you" and "your" will refer to that entity.
Please review our Privacy Policy, which also governs your use of the Services, for information on how we collect, use and share your information.
We may update the Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. If we do, we will let you know by posting the updated Terms on the Interface and/or may also send other communications. It is important that you review the Terms whenever we update them, or you use the Services. If you continue to use the Services after we have posted updated Terms, it means that you accept and agree to the changes. If you do not agree to be bound by the changes, you may not use the Services anymore. Because our Services are evolving over time, we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time, and without notice, at our sole discretion.
You may use the Services only if you are at least 18 years old, capable of forming a binding contract with IP World, and not otherwise barred from using the Services under applicable law.
The Services are only available to users in certain jurisdictions who can use the Services as permitted under applicable law. You certify that you will comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations when using the Services. Without limiting the foregoing, by using the Services, you represent and warrant that:
We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor where our Services are accessed from. Furthermore, we reserve the right, at any time, in our sole discretion, to block access to the Services, in whole or in part, from any geographic location, IP addresses and unique device identifiers or to any user who we believe is in breach of these Terms.
We do not buy, sell, or take custody or possession of any Supported Digital Asset, nor do we act as an agent or custodian for any user of the Services. Any transactions that you engage in through the Services will be conducted solely through the third-party blockchain network governing the Supported Digital Asset. You will be required to make or receive payments exclusively through the digital wallet that you have connected to the Services. We will have no insight into or control over these payments, nor do we have the ability to reverse any payments or transactions. Accordingly, we 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 Services.
We may charge fees in connection with your use of the Services. You agree to pay any applicable fees, including Gas Fees, in connection with transactions on the Interface, and the fees to purchase a Supported Digital Asset. "Gas Fees" mean the fees that fund the network of computers that run the decentralized blockchain network, meaning that you will need to pay a Gas Fee for each transaction that occurs via the blockchain network.
You are solely responsible for all costs incurred by you in using the Services, and for determining, collecting, reporting, and paying all applicable Taxes that you may be required by law to collect and remit to any governmental or regulatory agencies. As used herein, "Taxes" means the taxes, duties, levies, tariffs, and other charges imposed by any federal, state, multinational or local governmental or regulatory authority. You are solely responsible for maintaining all relevant Tax records and complying with any reporting requirements you may have as related to our Services. You are further solely responsible for independently maintaining the accuracy of any record submitted to any tax authority including any information derived from the Services. We reserve the right to report any activity occurring using the Services to relevant tax authorities as required under applicable law.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time in connection with any transaction as required by applicable law, any governmental authority, or if we, in our sole and reasonable discretion, determine you are violating these Terms or the terms of any third-party service provider. Such suspension or termination shall not constitute a breach of these Terms by us. In accordance with its anti-money laundering, anti-terrorism, anti-fraud, and other compliance policies and practices, we may impose reasonable limitations and controls on the ability of you or any beneficiary to utilize the Services. Such limitations may include, where good cause exists, rejecting transaction requests, freezing funds, or otherwise restricting you from using the Services.
We appreciate feedback, comments, ideas, proposals and suggestions for improvements to the Services ("Feedback"). If you choose to submit Feedback, you agree that we are free to use it without any restriction or compensation to you.
Our Services may allow you to store or share content such as text (in posts or communications with others), files, documents, graphics, images, music, software, audio and video. Anything (other than Feedback) that you post or otherwise make available through the Services is referred to as "User Content". IP World does not claim any ownership rights in any User Content and nothing in these Terms will be deemed to restrict any rights that you may have to your User Content.
By making any User Content available through the Services you hereby grant to IP World and all users of the Services a non-exclusive, transferable, worldwide, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, to use, copy, modify, create derivative works based upon, distribute, publicly display, and publicly perform your User Content in connection with operating, providing, and using the Services.
You are solely responsible for all your User Content. You represent and warrant that you have (and will have) all rights that are necessary to grant us the license rights in your User Content under these Terms. You represent and warrant that neither your User Content, nor your use and provision of your User Content to be made available through the Services, nor any use of your User Content by IP World on or through the Services will infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party's intellectual property rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation.
You can remove your User Content by specifically deleting it. You should know that in certain instances, some of your User Content may not be completely removed and copies of your User Content may continue to exist on the Services. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible or liable for the removal or deletion of (or the failure to remove or delete) any of your User Content.
We may make available through the Services content that is subject to intellectual property rights. We or our licensors, or the third parties who otherwise own the intellectual property rights, retain all rights to that content.
You agree not to do any of the following:
We are not obligated to monitor access to or use of the Services or to review or edit any Services content. However, we have the right to do so for the purpose of operating the Services, to ensure compliance with these Terms and to comply with applicable law or other legal requirements. We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to remove or disable access to any content, including User Content, at any time and without notice, including, but not limited to, if we, at our sole discretion, consider it objectionable or in violation of these Terms. We have the right to investigate violations of these Terms or conduct that affects the Services. We may also consult and cooperate with law enforcement authorities to prosecute users who violate the law.
The Services may allow you to access third-party websites or other resources. We provide access only as a convenience and are not responsible for the content, products, or services on or available from those resources or links displayed on such websites. You acknowledge that you have sole responsibility for, and assume all risk arising from, your use of any third-party resources.
We may suspend or terminate your access to and use of the Services at our sole discretion, at any time and without notice to you. You may disconnect your digital wallet at any time. You acknowledge and agree that we shall have no liability or obligation to you in such event and that you will not be entitled to a refund of any amounts that you have already paid to us or any third party, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Upon any termination, discontinuation or cancellation of the Services, the following Sections will survive 4, 5(b)-(d), 6, 7, 8, the last two sentences of this Section 11-16.
THE SERVICES, ANY CONTENT CONTAINED THEREIN, ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE (AND OUR SUPPLIERS) MAKE NO WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICES (INCLUDING ANY MATERIAL, INFORMATION, OR CONTENT THEREIN): (I) WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS; (II) WILL BE AVAILABLE ON AN UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE BASIS; (III) WILL BE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS: OR (IV) WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, COMPLETE, LEGAL, OR SAFE.
THE SERVICES MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE DUE TO ANY NUMBER OF FACTORS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PERIODIC SYSTEM MAINTENANCE, SCHEDULED OR UNSCHEDULED, ACTS OF GOD, UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, VIRUSES, DENIAL OF SERVICE OR OTHER ATTACKS, TECHNICAL FAILURE OF THE SERVICES AND/OR TELECOMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE OR DISRUPTION, AND THEREFORE WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY REGARDING THE USE AND/OR AVAILABILITY, ACCESSIBILITY, SECURITY, OR PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES CAUSED BY SUCH FACTORS.
To the extent the Interface enables you to interact with any third party blockchain protocol (the "Protocol"), you understand that your use of the Protocol is entirely at your own risk. The Protocol is available on an "as is" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quiet enjoyment, and non-infringement. You assume all risks associated with using the Protocol, and digital assets and decentralized systems generally, including but not limited to, that digital assets are highly volatile; you may not have ready access to assets; and you may lose some or all of your digital tokens or other assets. You agree that you will have no recourse against us for any losses due to your use of the Protocol.
You accept, acknowledge, and assume the following risks:
You will indemnify, defend (at our option), and hold us and our affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents, harmless from and against any claims, disputes, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, and costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees arising out of or in any way connected with (a) your access to or use of the Services, (b) your User Content, or (c) your violation of these Terms. You may not settle or otherwise compromise any claim subject to this Section without our prior written approval.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER WE NOR OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING THE SERVICES WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES, LOST SAVINGS, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OF DATA OR GOODWILL, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE OR SYSTEM FAILURE, OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE OR OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE AGGREGATE TOTAL LIABILITY OF US AND OUR AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, AND AFFILIATES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS, OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID OR ARE PAYABLE BY YOU TO US FOR USE OF THE SERVICES OR ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100), IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD ANY PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS TO US, AS APPLICABLE.
THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN US AND YOU.
We and our licensors exclusively own all right, title and interest in and to the Services, including all associated intellectual property rights. You acknowledge that the Services are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws of the United States and foreign countries. You agree not to remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, service mark, or other proprietary rights notices incorporated in or accompanying the Services.
These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between us and you regarding the Services, and these Terms supersede and replace all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between us and you regarding the Services. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
Any notices or other communications provided by us under these Terms will be given by posting to the Interface.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by our duly authorized representative. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
