11. Blockchain-based contents.
 

Some of Outside Platforms provide decentralized distributed application/services on a blockchain network, using smart contracts to enable its users to own, buy, sell, transfer, and share unique digital assets such as non-fungible token (“NFT”) or fungible token (“FT”). Digital assets reside solely within Outside Platform’s blockchain network, and may or may not have value. METABORA cannot, and does not, control whether any of digital assets has monetary value on any blockchain network.

METABORA may provide blockchain-based contents within the Game in connection with services of such Outside Platforms. The use of blockchain-based contents is not a requirement for the use of the Game, and you are able to decide whether to use it. You must agree to the terms of Outside Platform and complete its user registration in order to use blockchain-based contents within the Game.

METABORA can designate some of the Virtual Currency/Virtual Goods as blockchain-based contents, and has the right to change, add, or cancel designated blockchain-based contents at any time at METABORA’s sole discretion.

You may be able to purchase Virtual Currency designated as blockchain-based contents using FT. If you purchase such Virtual Currency using FT, you are agreeing to Outside Platform’s respective terms of services, including without limitation any payment terms, and privacy policies regarding FT as well as the Terms. You may or may not be able to transfer Virtual Currency designated as blockchain-based contents into FT depending on Outside Platform’s respective terms of services. METABORA does not guarantee possibility of any such transfer, and thus is not responsible for any such transfer.

If you own a certain type of NFT, a certain type of Virtual Goods designated as blockchain-based contents may be provided by METABORA to you within the Game at METABORA’s sole discretion. You may or may not be able to transfer Virtual Goods designated as blockchain-based contents into NFT depending on Outside Platform’s respective terms of services. METABORA does not guarantee possibility of any such transfer, and thus is not responsible for any such transfer.

METABORA has no control over any digital assets generated on Outside Platforms, and cannot ensure that any transaction details you submits via Outside Platforms in connection with the Game will be confirmed or processed. You agree and understand that the transaction details submitted by you via Outside Platforms in connection with the Game may not be completed or may be delayed by Outside Platforms or any supporting blockchain used to process the transaction. As transaction regarding digital assets is processed not on the Game but on Outside Platforms, METABORA cannot assist you to cancel or otherwise modify such transaction or details.

You agree that METABORA does not guarantee the permanence of value or existence of Virtual Currency/Virtual Goods designated as blockchain-based contents. You also agree that the values of Virtual Currency/Virtual Goods designated as blockchain-based contents within the Game can be affected through updates, service change, termination, etc. based on METABORA’s operation directions.

Digital assets characteristically have very high variability, thus METABORA has no responsibility or duties related to compensation for damages occurring from value variations in blockchain-based contents and/or NFT/FT. A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development of the Game’s ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of blockchain-based contents and/or NFT/FT.

METABORA has no control over digital assets on Outside Platforms, and thus is not responsible for your digital assets. You are entirely responsible for the management of your digital assets and METABORA takes no responsibility for issues arising from poor management. Any and all issues arising out of the use of digital assets are a result of owners’ personal decisions regarding their digital assets, thus METABORA is not responsible for such issues.

Every transaction that occurs on blockchain network may requires the payment of a transaction fee (a “Gas Fee”). The Gas Fee funds the network of computers that run the decentralized blockchain network. This means that you will need to pay a Gas Fee for each transaction related to your digital assets. You acknowledge and agree that the transaction fee will be paid through the blockchain network as part of your payment, METABORA has no control over it, and thus is not responsible for such fee.

You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your digital assets-related transactions. We are not responsible for determining the taxes that apply to your transactions on the Game, the Website, or the smart contracts.

The Game does not store, send, or receive your digital assets such as NFT and FT. This is because NFT/FT exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on Outside Platform’s supporting blockchain network. Any transfer of digital assets occurs within Outside Platform’s supporting blockchain network, and not on the Game or Services.

There are risks associated with using digital assets, 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 METABORA will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using Outside Platform’s blockchain network, however caused.

The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and tokens is incomplete and uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect blockchain-based contents and the development of the Game’s ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of digital assets.
