VRYNT Terms of Use Last revised: APRIL,25 2022
Welcome to VRYNT! VRYNT is a platform that allows you to create, buy, sell, and display NFTs within sponsored Collections with the aid of VRYNT’s proprietary NFT creation tool sets which may include AI-based generative technology. These Terms of Use (the “Terms of Use,” “Terms” or “Agreement”) are entered into by and between you and HashChi Collectibles, Inc. (“VRYNT,” “Company,” “we,” or “us”). The following terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference, govern your access to and use of VRYNT, including any content, functionality, and services offered on or through https://vrynt.io (the “Site”), our mobile or desktop application(s) (the “App” or “Application”) or any other interface we have authorized.
1) Accepting these Terms
These Terms of Use set out your rights and responsibilities when you use VRYNT to create, buy, sell, or display non-fungible tokens (“NFTs” or “NFT”) or create a collection of NFTs (collectively, the “Services” or “Service”), as offered on the Site, the App, and any other authorized interfaces (collectively, the “Platform”), so please read them carefully. VRYNT is an administrative platform that facilitates transactions between a buyer and a seller but is not a party to any agreement between the buyer and seller of NFTs or between any Users (“User”). By clicking on the “I Accept” button, completing the account registration process, or using the Platform, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use and all of the terms incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, you must not access or use the Platform.
Please note that this Agreement contains an arbitration clause and class action waiver. By agreeing to these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve all disputes through binding individual arbitration, which means that you waive any right to have the dispute decided by a judge or jury, and you waive any right to participate in collective action, whether that be a class action, class arbitration, or representative action.
VRYNT reserves the right to change or modify these Terms of Use at any time and in our sole discretion. You agree and understand that by logging into your account, accessing or using the Platform following any change to these Terms of Use, you agree to the revised Terms of Use and all of the terms incorporated therein by reference. We encourage you to review the Terms of Use from time to time to ensure that you understand the terms and conditions that apply when you access or use the Platform.
Key Definitions
- Component Packs: Sets of Components (which may be randomized and have different scarcity or rarity) that you may purchase in order to use them to generate NFTs with the aid of VRYNT’s NFT creation tool sets.
- Cash: Herein, “cash” means any national or “fiat” currency; a legal tender. If a specific cash medium is required but not expressly-specified, the US dollar (USD) shall be assumed or required.
- Collection: A set of NFTs Users may generate based on certain parameters set by the collection Owner, in their sole discretion.
- Collection Owner: A participant of the Platform who presides over a Collection and has certain control and other rights with respect to the Collection, as provided herein, and otherwise as indicated by VRYNT from time to time.
- Components: Individual units, characteristics, or attributes which may be used in VRYNT’s tool sets to generate artwork which serves as NFT Content for NFTs created on the Platform.
- Non-Fungible Token (or “NFT”): A blockchain record which corresponds to unique data (such as digital artwork), and because it is unique, isn’t like-for-like exchangeable with any other blockchain record. Generally, the NFTs actually reside (are stored) outside of the Platform on the blockchain, even though they may be listed or otherwise featured on the Platform.
- Smart Contracts: A smart contract, generally, is a type of facility which acts as a software program and which resides on the blockchain, beyond the control (entirely or in part) of any single party or cohort (including its creator(s)), which may effectuate changes on the blockchain such as “minting” NFTs, “NFT transfers”, or “escrowed” transfers of tokens or other digital assets from one wallet or address to another. VRYNT has created a set of particular smart contracts that are utilized by the VRYNT platform in (or related to) the operation of the Platform.
- Resale Royalty: A share of the proceeds of an NFT, Component Pack, or Component re-sale on the Platform which goes to parties other than the immediate seller of the NFT, Component Pack or Component. The Resale Royalty is a commercial contractual right (pursuant to these terms, and any amended or subsidiary terms provided by VRYNT from time to time), and not any other type of legal right (e.g., a statutory or common law intellectual property right). The Resale Royalty is a right only with respect to the VRYNT Platform, and not any third party venue, platform, or service, or any blockchain network generally.
- VRYNT Gallery Rewards (or “Gallery Rewards” or “Rewards”): Units which may be made available on the platform (e.g., given away as loyalty or promotional incentives) which you may use to purchase Component Packs (but not NFTs or Components).
- VRYNT Platform Credits (or “VRYNT Credits,” or “Credits”): Units which you may use on the Platform to purchase available items, such as NFTs, Component Packs or Components. VRYNT Credits expressly cannot be refunded, or converted into fiat or any digital currency.
- VRYNT Proceeds (or “Proceeds”): Units that you earn for sales of NFTs, Component Packs or Components on the Platform. VRYNT Proceeds can be used to claim VRYNT Tokens, or be used to purchase VRYNT Credits.
- VRYNT Tokens (or “Tokens”): A blockchain token issued by the Platform which is fungible, meaning like-for-like exchangeable or interchangeable with all other VRYNT Tokens. VRYNT Proceeds may be exchangeable for VRYNT Tokens, subject to a User meeting these terms and conditions (and any others reasonably-required by the Company), successfully completing a KYC (Know Your Customer) process, and US citizens may be required to complete the appropriate required taxation forms. VRYNT Tokens may be tradeable outside of the Platform (i.e., on independent cryptocurrency exchanges).
2) Your VRYNT Account
You need to create an account with VRYNT to use the Platform. When you create an account, we will ask you for some information about yourself. We may require you, in our sole discretion, to provide additional information and/or documents. If you do not provide complete and accurate information and/or documents in response to such a request, we may refuse to provide you with the Services.
Your VRYNT account is subject to the following conditions:
- You may only open one account on VRYNT. If we have a reasonable suspicion that you have opened multiple accounts on VRYNT, we reserve the right to take whatever action we deem appropriate, including but not limited to closing and/or freezing your accounts.
- Access: you understand and agree that access to your VRYNT account is limited solely to you. You agree that you will not sell, rent, lease, or grant access to your VRYNT account to any person without our prior written permission.
- KYC / Verify Your Identity: Know-your-customer (or “KYC”) verification procedures are conducted by VRYNT and are required of you before you may complete certain actions, including but not limited to converting VRYNT Proceeds to VRYNT Tokens or withdrawing VRYNT Tokens from the Platform. You understand the foregoing, and agree to provide the requested personally-identifying and any other relevant background or qualification information requested by VRYNT when and as requested. You agree that if you do not, you may lose the ability to transact or otherwise access your NFTs and/or other blockchain assets on the Platform, including a permanent, irreversible loss of Platform access after a reasonable time period in VRYNT’s discretion. You understand and agree that the approval of the responsive KYC information you supply is entirely within VRYNT’s discretion. You agree that VRYNT has no obligation to conduct KYC checking in advance of such time or times as it requests such information from you, in its determination. You agree that if you disable any VRYNT KYC notifications on the Platform itself, VRYNT is permitted to email you such notifications or any information or inquiries regarding KYC. You further agree that VRYNT may require that you validate a credit or debit card, and make one or more small-value test transactions, as part of any KYC process, in its sole discretion.
- AML: Anti-Money Laundering (or “AML”) and procedures are conducted by VRYNT on the Platform in accordance with its internal policies and the requirements of applicable law. Pursuant to these policies, VRYNT may monitor transactions on and with respect to the Platform conducted by or otherwise in relation to you, and retain and further analyze information related thereto. You understand and agree to the foregoing, and agree that VRYNT may make AML reports to all relevant regulators within its discretion (including, but not limited to FinCEN Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) and Currency Transaction Reports (CTRs) within the US).
- If you are under 18 years of age, you will be able to use the Platform and the Services, but will not be able to convert VRYNT Proceeds to VRYNT Tokens and withdraw them unless you pass VRYNT’s KYC screening, which will require the account to be affirmatively managed by, and these these Terms of Use to be expressly agreed to by, an adult the age of 18 years or older.
- This Platform and the Services do not contain content “directed towards children under 13 years of age” as defined in the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”). By using the Platform or the Services, you agree with this status and limitation, and further, agree not to upload, contribute or otherwise provide such content to or within the Platform or the Services.
- Security: you understand and agree that you are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your account and control over any usernames, passwords, or any other codes that you use to access the Platform. Any unauthorized access to your account by third parties could result in the loss or theft of NFTs, VRYNT Tokens, Credits, Rewards or Proceeds held in your account, and any associated accounts, including any linked credit or debit card(s). Though VRYNT aims to provide account and system security in accordance with industry best practices or better, there is no guarantee of perfect security of your account, especially regarding access to it using your personal devices and/or passwords, codes, or cryptographic keys (the “Account Access Methods”). You understand and agree that you will not hold us responsible for managing and maintaining the security of your Account Access Methods. You further understand and agree that we are not responsible (and you will not hold us responsible) for any unauthorized access to or use of your account unless it occurs due to the direct gross negligence of VRYNT. You are responsible for monitoring your account. If you notice any unauthorized or suspicious activity in your account, please notify us immediately.
- Trading Fees: by buying or selling a NFT, Component Pack or Component on VRYNT, you agree to pay all applicable fees and you authorize VRYNT to automatically deduct fees directly from your payment. You will always be provided with a breakdown of fees or a link to a fee schedule prior to your purchase or sale of a NFT.
- Communication: you agree and understand that we will communicate with you via electronic means. To ensure that you receive all of our communications, you agree to keep your email address and any other provided contact information (such as a telephone number, if provided) current and notify us if there are any changes. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures, or other communications made to your email address on record are considered valid and duly-delivered (whether or not actually-received).
- No USD Balances: Though certain payments on the Platform may be made using a credit or debit card, no User account may carry a balance in U.S. Dollars. VRYNT is not responsible for your access (or lack of access) to, or the disposition of U.S. Dollar or any other fiat currency balances in any financial accounts you have used for VRYNT purposes (whether or not “linked” to VRYNT).
- Unclaimed Property: if VRYNT is holding funds in your account and has no record of your use of the Service for several years, we may be required, upon passage of applicable time periods, to report these funds as unclaimed property in accordance with the abandoned property and escheat laws. If this occurs, we will use reasonable efforts to give you written notice. If you fail to respond within seven business days or as required by law, we may be required to deliver any such funds to the applicable state or jurisdiction as unclaimed property. We reserve the right to deduct a dormancy fee or administrative fee from such unclaimed funds, as permitted by applicable law.
3) Account Suspension
You agree that VRYNT has the right to immediately suspend your account, pause or cancel your access to the Platform, or close your account if we suspect, in our sole discretion, that (1) your account is being used for money laundering or any illegal activity; (2) you have concealed or provided false identification information or other details; (3) you have engaged in fraudulent activity; (4) you have acquired NFTs using inappropriate methods (including but not limited to using stolen funds or payments methods, or attempting to chargeback your payment while retaining or disposing of a NFT); (5) you are using, employing, or operating bots or other forms of automation and/or multiple accounts to engage in any activity on VRYNT; or (6) you have otherwise acted in violation of these Terms of Use.
IF VRYNT HAS A REASONABLE BELIEF THAT YOU HAVE ENGAGED IN ACTIVITIES (1)-(5) ABOVE, VRYNT RESERVES THE RIGHT, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, TO CONFISCATE ANY ASSETS PURCHASED PURSUANT TO THOSE ACTIVITIES AND/OR DEEM SUCH TRANSACTIONS NULL AND VOID.
4) Communication
You agree that we may send you promotional communications by email, including, but not limited to, newsletters, special offers, surveys, and other news and information we think will be of interest to you.
You agree that we may send you communications by email or text message (if you have provided us a text messaging number) that pertain to the status of a purchase or sale of a NFT on VRYNT, and other communications that pertain to your interaction with the Platform, including but not limited to notifications about the status of an NFT you may be interested in purchasing.
You may opt out of promotional communications at any time by following the instructions provided therein.
5) User Content
The Platform allows (1) Users to create a profile where they can post certain information about themselves, link to other websites, and display NFTs that they own (collectively, “Profile Information”); and (2) Users to use Component Packs with VRYNT’s NFT creation tool sets (subject to the specifications of the relevant Collection Owners) to create unique NFTs (“NFT Creations”), which resultingly may include embedded or referenced generative artwork (the “Artwork”), and which may include (pursuant to VRYNT and Collection specifications) externally-sourced creative works (the “NFT Content”; and collectively, with Profile Information, “User Content”). All User Content must comply with these Terms of Use.
Any User Content, including Profile Information you post to the Platform will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary. By providing any User Content on the Platform or within the Services, you grant us and our affiliates and our respective licensees, successors, and assigns the right to use, reproduce, modify (including to remove or delete), perform, display, distribute, retransmit, publish, broadcast, and otherwise disclose to third parties any such material for any purpose. You represent and warrant that (1) you own and control all rights in and to your User Content and have the right to grant such licenses to us and our affiliates and our respective licensees, successors, and assigns; and (2) all of your User Content does and will comply with these Terms of Use.
You understand and agree that you are responsible for any User Content you submit or contribute, and you, not VRYNT, have full responsibility for such content, including its legality, reliability, accuracy, and appropriateness. We are not responsible or liable to any third party for the content, accuracy, or appropriateness of any User Content posted by you or any other user on the Platform.
While VRYNT offers a marketplace for NFTs, it does not ever take custody or possession of any User owned NFTs. The Platform facilitates User creation and collection of NFTs, but neither the Company nor the Platform are custodians of any User owned NFT. The User understands and acknowledges that the Smart Contracts, while prospectively created (all or in part) by VRYNT, exist “as-is” on the blockchain, and do not give VRYNT custody or possession of any NFT or cryptocurrency at any time, with the exception of facilitating transactions on the Platform. You affirm that you are aware and acknowledge that VRYNT is a non-custodial service provider and has designed this Platform to be automated and directly accessible by the Users without any involvement or actions taken by VRYNT or any third-party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you understand and agree that the Auction and certain other Smart Contracts may themselves take control of the NFTs and/or cryptocurrency consideration for certain relevant times. You understand and agree that for such times, VRYNT does not and cannot control the disposition of the NFTs or other relevant blockchain assets, as they are under the control of the blockchain network as a whole.
Rights in NFT Creations and NFT Content
VRYNT hereby sets forth that, with respect to rights and obligations of VRYNT, control of an NFT on the blockchain does not necessarily establish legal ownership of the NFT or Intellectual Property rights associated with the NFT (if any). Control of an NFT on the blockchain instead gives rise to the presumption of legal ownership of the NFT and Intellectual Property rights associated with the NFT (if any), but this presumption shall be rebuttable, and any rights, express or implied, arising therefrom, shall be voidable in the discretion of VRYNT (see Sections 8 and 10[AK1] ). Wherever in this Agreement the term “own” or “owns” is used with respect to an NFT, ownership in the foregoing conditional sense is meant.
If you are a NFT Creator, you hereby grant VRYNT a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to:
- Use the NFT Content contained in your NFT Creation for purposes of minting, displaying and selling or facilitating sales of your NFT Creations;
- License or sub-license the NFT Content and NFT Creation under the terms hereof, and more specifically, in accordance with the terms of any content license you have selected among those provided by VRYNT, or otherwise agreed with VRYNT, or any third-party Collection Owner;
- Use your name and image for marketing or promotional purposes;
- Use, copy, modify, distribute, publish, and otherwise transmit NFT Content (e.g., images or video) from your NFT Creations for marketing or promotional purposes; and
- Use your biography and other public information about you to promote your NFT Creations.
As a NFT Creator or NFT Owner, you understand and agree that:
- You are responsible for the content of your NFT Creations;
- Any NFT Creation that violates any of VRYNT’s policies may be obfuscated or deleted from the Platform by VRYNT, in its sole discretion;
- You will not use the NFT Content incorporated into your NFT Creations for the creation of additional non-fungible tokens;
- You will respect the intellectual property of others; and
- You will not coordinate pricing with other NFT Creators, Collection Owners or Third Parties.
- Any benefits that may be assigned by the Collection Owner are only valid if the current NFT Owner purchased the NFT through the VRYNT Marketplace. The collection Owner has the right to deny benefits if the NFT was acquired via a third party marketplace.
Monitoring and Removal
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to prohibit you from uploading your User Content (including to or within NFT Content, NFT Creations, or Collections). Although we are not required to monitor any User Content, we may, in our sole discretion, block (i.e., make inaccessible and/or non-transferable) or remove User Content (including any Artwork and/or associated NFT Creations and/or Collections) at any time due to (without limitation) (i) the violation of intellectual property or other rights, (ii) any violation of law, (iii) the violation of these Terms of Use or any policies or standards of VRYNT, and (iv) for any reason, without notice. VRYNT may monitor User Content to detect and prevent fraudulent activity or violation of these Terms of Use. With respect to User Content, NFT Creations, NFT Content, and Collections, VRYNT is a “provider” under 47 U.S.C. § 230, and is entitled to the privileges and immunities thereunder.
6) VRYNT Platform and Service Ownership
Unless otherwise indicated in writing by us, the Platform, all content, and all other materials contained therein, including, without limitation, the VRYNT logo, and all designs, text, graphics, pictures, information, data, software, sound files, other files, and the selection and arrangement thereof (collectively, “VRYNT Content”) are the proprietary property of VRYNT or our affiliates, licensors, or users, as applicable. The VRYNT logo and any VRYNT product or service names, logos, or slogans that may appear on the Platform or elsewhere are trademarks of VRYNT or our affiliates, and may not be copied, imitated or used, in whole or in part, without our prior written permission.
You may not use any VRYNT Content to link to the Platform or Content without our express written permission. You may not use framing techniques to enclose any VRYNT Content without our express written consent. In addition, the look and feel of the Platform and Content, including without limitation, all page headers, custom graphics, button icons, and scripts constitute the service mark, trademark, or trade dress of VRYNT and may not be copied, imitated, or used, in whole or in part, without our prior written permission.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, you understand and agree that you shall have no ownership or other property interest in your account, and you further agree that all rights in and to your account are and shall forever be owned by and inure to the benefit of VRYNT.
7) Terms of Sale
By placing a bid or an order on or through VRYNT, you agree that you are submitting a binding offer to purchase the corresponding NFT (and/or other service element, if applicable). Your order is accepted and confirmed once purchase is complete, and VRYNT displays the Confirmation Alert (the "Confirmation Alert"). YOU HEREBY EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT THE PROVISIONING OF A NFT BEGINS IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE CONFIRMATION PAGE IS DISPLAYED.
Marketplace (“Marketplace”) transactions (elaborated on in Section 12), including but not limited to primary sales, secondary market sales, listings, offers, bids, acceptances, and other operations through the Platform utilize experimental smart contract and blockchain technology, including non-fungible tokens, cryptocurrencies, consensus algorithms, and decentralized or peer-to-peer networks and systems. Users acknowledge and agree that such technologies are experimental, speculative, and inherently risky. Users acknowledge and agree that the VRYNT Smart Contracts may be subject to bugs, malfunctions, timing errors, hacking and theft, or changes to the protocol rules of the blockchain (i.e., "forks"), which can adversely affect the Smart Contracts and may expose you to a risk of total loss, forfeiture of your digital currency or digital asset (including NFTs), or lost opportunities to buy or sell NFTs. VRYNT assumes no liability or responsibility for any such Smart Contract or related failures, risks, or uncertainties.
Users hereby acknowledge and assume the risk of initiating, interacting with, participating in Marketplace or Auction transactions and take full responsibility and liability for the outcome of any transaction they initiate, whether or not the Smart Contracts, VRYNT, or other market participants behave as expected or intended. Users hereby represent that they are knowledgeable, experienced and sophisticated in using blockchain technology, VRYNT, and in initiating blockchain-based transactions. No refunds or returns are permitted except with respect to any statutory warranties or guaranties that cannot be excluded or limited by law
Collection Owners may choose to provide certain rights to holders of the NFTs created within their Collections, which may include, but are not limited to, physical items, special access, or other exclusive content (collectively, “Additional Benefits”). Any Additional Benefits will be provided directly to you from the Collection Owner or their designee; VRYNT has no involvement in such transactions and is not a party to such transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, VRYNT may publish a description of the Additional Benefits on its Platform on behalf of the Collection Owner. If you own a NFT that entitles you to Additional Benefits, you hereby consent to VRYNT sharing your contact information with the Collection Owner to facilitate delivery of your Additional Benefits. Unless otherwise stated, transactions on the VRYNT Marketplace (elaborated in Section 12 of this Agreement) are only for NFTs, and do not grant the purchaser the right to any Additional Benefits.
Resale Royalty
NFTs, Component Packs and Components resold on the Marketplace may contain a percentage payout to certain other parties (see the Resale Royalty Schedule, below), as determined VRYNT in its sole discretion (the “Resale Royalty”). By agreeing to these terms, you, irrespective of whether you are in the position of a seller or buyer, are agreeing to pay the Resale Royalty, and hereby provide your consent for VRYNT to deduct, split, direct or otherwise collect, and to advance the Resale Royalty to the Collection Owner and/or any other parties VRYNT deems are due all or a portion of the Resale Royalty, or to instruct a smart contract or any other blockchain or non-blockchain technical facility to do any of the foregoing.
The “Resale Royalty” is not intended to constitute a “royalty” in any sense, legally or practically, other than that described in the foregoing paragraph, and you hereby agree that it carries no further meaning or intent, or implies or sets out any obligations on the part of VRYNT.
The Resale Royalty may not be paid in the case of NFT transactions taking place outside of, or beyond the intended functionality of VRYNT’s Platform or Services generally. You (whether as an NFT Creator, buyer, or seller) agree that VRYNT has no obligation to collect or otherwise facilitate the Resale Royalty, and that no such obligation exists on the part of any party, beyond the bounds of VRYNT’s Platform and the Services, and the ordinary, intended operation thereof.

8) VRYNT Credits, VRYNT Gallery Rewards, VRYNT Proceeds and VRYNT Tokens – Specific Terms
Defined more fully in the first section, VRYNT Credits, Rewards, Proceeds, and Tokens generally function with respect to each other as follows:
- Of these types of VRYNT units, Users can only directly buy VRYNT Credits (i.e., using accepted cryptocurrencies, VRYNT Proceeds, or using fiat money with a credit or debit card through a third-party payment gateway).
- NFTs and any other item that Users make on the Platform that is sold or otherwise transacted on the Platform earns them VRYNT Proceeds.
- VRYNT Proceeds can be converted to VRYNT Tokens, subject to the terms and conditions of the Platform (including, without limitation, that the converting User passes KYC), or be used to purchase VRYNT Credits.
- VRYNT Gallery Rewards are a special type of unit that can only purchase Component Packs. They are given out to Users by VRYNT promotionally, in its sole discretion.
- Some VRYNT Proceeds may also be given away promotionally; e.g., for creating a Platform account.
All of the foregoing types of digital units (VRYNT Credits, Gallery Rewards, Proceeds, and Tokens) are solely Platform-specific functional digital units; they are not cash equivalents and have no cash value – even if they are denominated in terms US dollars or any other national currency.
Dormancy Fees and Expiration
VRYNT voluntarily follows Regulation E (in particular, 12 CFR §205.20) with respect to VRYNT Credits, Gallery Rewards, and VRYNT Proceeds. To provide you an overall better Platform experience, units of the foregoing types (the “On-Platform Units”) are subject to charges for inactivity (dormancy), and eventual expiration. However, in keeping with regulations and the spirit of transparency, VRYNT provides the following guarantees and disclosures with respect to fees and expiration of On-Platform Units:
- There will be no dormancy fees charged unless the corresponding account holding the On-Platform Units has not engaged in any User-initiated transactions in terms of any of the On-Platform Units (respectively) for one calendar year.[AK2]
- The dormancy fees will be deducted respectively from each type of dormant On-Platform Unit held by the User once per calendar month, on the first day of the month, computed as 2% of the outstanding amount of each.
- All dormant On-Platform Units will expire completely after five calendar years of dormancy (as defined in #1, above).
Purchases of VRYNT On-Platform Units, NFTs, or Other Digital Assets
The only On-Platform Unit or any other form of Platform digital asset you can purchase on the Platform with off-Platform value is VRYNT Credits. You may purchase VRYNT Credits for US dollars using a credit or debit card, or via certain third-party cryptocurrencies, or VRYNT Tokens as set forth under Sections 17 and 18 of these Terms. The amount of VRYNT Credits purchasable for each USD, VRYNT Token or accepted third-party cryptocurrency is in VRYNT’s sole discretion, but shall be based on a market mechanism VRYNT finds to be reasonable in the circumstances, and will be disclosed to you prior to consummating any purchase. VRYNT may elect to provide additional VRYNT Credits (“Bonus Credits”) for purchases of larger quantities of VRYNT Credits. Such Bonus Credit amounts are also in VRYNT’s sole discretion.
NFTs, Component Packs, or Components on the VRYNT Platform are only purchasable with VRYNT Credits. No ability to purchase these digital assets with any other consideration (e.g., fiat currency, VRYNT Tokens or or third-party cryptocurrencies), is herein or otherwise expressed or implied.
Conversions between VRYNT Proceeds and VRYNT Tokens
VRYNT will generally seek to make available the conversion of VRYNT Proceeds to VRYNT Tokens to qualifying users (defined below). The conversion price will be at the Platform's discretion, but will generally aim to track the market price of the Tokens (if an external market is present). The Platform will perform the conversion exclusively as a principal, not as an agent, and by utilizing this service, you expressly agree that VRYNT is acting as a principal for itself, and disclaim any engagement of VRYNT as your agent in acquiring or disposing of Tokens. By accepting a quote for VRYNT Tokens in terms of VRYNT Proceeds or Credits (or vice versa), you are expressly accepting these terms.
The redemption or conversion price for VRYNT Proceeds into VRYNT tokens shall be based upon a market mechanism VRYNT finds to be reasonable in the circumstances (e.g., the current market price respective to the volume ask). VRYNT at its own discretion may limit the amount of VRYNT Proceeds that can be claimed in a given time frame based on a variety of real-world conditions. You agree that the conversion pricing mechanism may be adjusted within reason for a variety of real-world conditions, e.g., slippage in the market between the time of redemption with the User and the time VRYNT settles its own books, and may account for VRYNT’s own trading fees.
VRYNT will not perform conversions from VRYNT Proceeds to VRYNT Tokens if you are not a qualifying user, that is, without limitation, you have not passed KYC, as discussed herein, supra.
VRYNT Gallery Rewards - Functionality and Specific Terms (This feature has not currently been rolled out on the platform, but is in the intended deployment roadmap).
As mentioned above, Gallery Rewards can only purchase Component Packs, not components or NFTs on the platform.
Accruals of Gallery Rewards: Gallery Rewards are calculated ratably on the original Component Pack price of the Components that were utilized in your minted NFT Creation. For example, if you buy a Component Pack for 10 VRYNT Credits, and the Component Pack has 10 components, each Component in that pack has a max Gallery Rewards Value of 1 VRYNT Credit. If you sell a Component in that Component Pack to someone else for 25 VRYNT Credits, the maximum Gallery Reward value for that Component is still 1 VRYNT Credit..
Using Gallery Rewards: Gallery Rewards are applied as a discount to Component Packs. E.g., if you have 100 Gallery Rewards, and you purchase a VRYNT Component Pack worth 100 VRYNT Credits, the Gallery Rewards will be applied and you will receive a 100% discount on that Component Pack. If you instead have 50 Gallery Rewards, you would need to pay an additional 50 VRYNT Credits for the Component Pack.
Gallery Rewards After Discounts: If you buy a Component Packs using a Gallery Reward, the maximum Component value for the purposes of additional Gallery Rewards that can accrue on the Component Pack is the discounted (not the original)price. If the discount amounted to 50%, then the maximum Gallery Reward you may earn on that Component Pack is 50% of the original price (e.g., if the original price was 100 VRYNT Credits, then you could only earn up to 50 VRYNT Credits in Gallery Rewards). If the discount amounted to 100%, then the maximum Gallery Reward you could earn for those Components would be 0 VRYNT Credits.
9) Intellectual Property of the Platform; Infringement
Outside of the VRYNT Content, all other trademarks, product names, and logos on the Platform are the property of their respective owners and may not be copied, imitated, or used, in whole or in part, without the permission of the applicable trademark holder. Without limiting the foregoing, if you believe that third-party material hosted by or listed on VRYNT infringes your copyright or trademark rights, please file a notice of infringement by contacting VRYNT’s Copyright Agent at support@vrynt.io.
In such event, in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), please provide VRYNT’s Copyright Agent with the following information: (1) an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest; (2) a description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed; (3) a description of the location on Platform of the material that you claim is infringing; (4) your address, telephone number and e-mail address; (5) a written statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and (6) a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf. Please note that you can be held liable under the DMCA for making frivolous claims of infringement under this process, e.g., without limitation, by failing to make a good-faith allowance for the user’s fair use rights.
VRYNT’s policy is to suspend or terminate the account(s) of infringers and take appropriate actions under DMCA and other applicable intellectual property laws with respect to any alleged or actual infringement. If you believe your User Content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, to upload and use the content in your User Content, you may send a written counter-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent; (1) your physical or electronic signature; (2) identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled; (3) a statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content; and (4) your name, address, telephone number, along with a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, VRYNT will send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.
In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, VRYNT has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at VRYNT’s sole discretion, Users who are deemed to be infringers. VRYNT may also at its sole discretion limit access to the Platform and/or terminate the memberships of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

12) The Marketplace
- When you access and use the Marketplace (“Marketplace”), we act as an intermediary for Marketplace Users to transact and are not a party to any agreement to buy, sell or trade the NFTs advertised on the Marketplace. When a User purchases a digital asset and a User agrees to provide that digital asset, they are entering into an agreement directly with each other. We do not act as an agent for any User.
- As we are not a party to the transaction, any interaction between you and another User, including any agreement entered into between you and another User, is a matter directly between you and them only. Other than our obligations set out in these Terms of Use, you agree that we:
- are not liable to you for the accuracy of any Listing, or any failure by a User to comply with these Terms of Use or any other legal obligation;
- are not liable or responsible for any guarantees or assurances made by the seller of any listing on the Application;
- have not made, and do not make any representation, guarantee or warranty that any digital asset will meet your requirements or expectations;
- are not liable or responsible for any increase or decrease in value of any digital asset. We have not made, and do not make, any promises (whether explicit, implied or otherwise) as to the value of any digital asset, including whether the value of the digital asset will increase or decrease in the future. The Prices of collectible assets are volatile and subjective, and we cannot guarantee that any digital asset purchase will retain any value, which may depend on a number of inherently subjective factors beyond our control, including the desirability of a particular digital asset; and
- will not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of other Users (including where another User has attempted to defraud you, doesn’t have the right to sell an Asset to you, or fails to complete a transaction.)
- Listing: where you list a digital asset for sale or trade in the Marketplace:
- you must only list a digital asset that you own in any Listing;
- your Listing must be accurate, current, complete and include all the relevant information on the digital asset. We reserve the right, but are not required, to amend any listing to supplement, remove or correct information;
- your Listing must not be misleading (which includes ensuring no material information is left out); and
- you accept that, any sale of the digital asset will be final, and that you will not be able to cancel the sale or retain ownership in the digital asset. You enter into a legally binding contract to purchase a digital asset when you commit to buy a digital asset at the Price, your offer for a digital asset is accepted by the seller (whether as a trade for another digital asset(s) or for a Price), or if you have the winning bid in an auction.
- Auctions:
- you must only place a bid on an auction if you intend to buy the NFT at Price. Under certain conditions you may not be able to revoke a bid once it is placed.
- where an NFT is sold by auction, and you place the winning bid, you will be obliged to complete the purchase of the NFT at the Price, and you will not be able to cancel your offer or negotiate a different Price once your bid has been lodged.
you agree not to engage in any “shill bidding” (i.e., placing, or organizing someone to place, fake bids to manipulate price, desirability or the search position of your listing). - where we reasonably believe that you have engaged in shill bidding, we may suspend, or terminate your Account.
- Trading: where you have entered into a trade with another User, that trade will be final, and you will not be able to cancel the trade or negotiate a different trade.
- Prices specified on the Marketplace are set by the User offering the Asset for sale or trade. Prices are in VRYNT Credits. We do not make any representation that Prices set by Marketplace Users are reasonable or reflect the value of a digital asset. We will not provide any refunds or reimbursements for any reason.
13) Accidental Transfers
You understand and agree that in the event that you deposit NFTs or NFTs into an incorrect address, we may not have the ability, and are under no obligation or duty, to return such NFTs or NFTs to you. This section applies regardless of whether we control the destination address.
Exceptions to this section may be considered and made on a case-by-case basis and in our sole discretion.
14) Privacy
You acknowledge and agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information in accordance with VRYNT’s Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
15) Modifications
You agree and understand that we may modify part or all of VRYNT, the Platform or the Services without notice. You agree that some VRYNT collections may include evolutionary traits that change the assets of an NFT over time, and that these are the characteristics of the NFT defined by the Collection Owner, and not the VRYNT Platform. In some cases the VRYNT Platform is the Collection Owner.
16) Risks
Please note, without limitation, the following risks in accessing or using VRYNT: The price and liquidity of blockchain assets, including NFTs and the VRYNT Tokens, are extremely volatile and may be subject to large fluctuations; Fluctuations in the price of other blockchain assets could materially and adversely affect NFTs or the Tokens, which may also be subject to significant price volatility; Legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the state, federal, or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange, and value of NFTs or Tokens; NFTs and Tokens are not legal tender and are not backed by the government; Transactions in NFTs and Tokens may be irreversible, and, accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable; transactions in NFTs and Tokens will generally be deemed to be made when recorded on a public ledger, which is not necessarily the date or time that you initiated the transaction; The value of blockchain assets may be derived from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange fiat currency or other blockchain assets for NFTs or Tokens, which may result in the potential for permanent and total loss of value of a particular blockchain asset should the market for that blockchain asset disappear; The nature of NFTs or Tokens may lead to an increased risk of fraud or cyber-attack, and may mean that technological difficulties experienced by VRYNT may prevent the access to or use of your NFTs or Tokens; Changes to Third Party Services (discussed in Section 17 below) may create a risk that your access to and use of the Platform will suffer.
You agree and understand that you are solely responsible for determining the nature, potential value, suitability, and appropriateness of these risks for yourself, and that VRYNT does not give advice or recommendations regarding NFTs or Tokens, including the suitability and appropriateness of, and investment strategies for, NFTs or Tokens. You agree and understand that you access and use VRYNT at your own risk; however, this brief statement does not disclose all of the risks associated with NFTs and Tokens. You agree and understand that VRYNT will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using NFTs or Tokens, however caused.
17) Third Party Services
VRYNT (encompassing the Platform as well as the Services) may rely on third-party platforms, including but not limited to Metamask to perform NFT transactions. Our Platform may contain links or make software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) calls to third-party websites or applications (collectively, “Third Party Services”). VRYNT does not own or control Third Party Services. You understand and agree that your use of any Third-Party Platform is subject to any terms of use and/or privacy policy provided by such Third-Party Platform.

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.

Some transactions on our Platform may be facilitated by Metamask. Any such transactions are governed by the Metamask Terms of Service and Privacy Policy and are not under VRYNT’s control.
Any cryptocurrency assets that you transfer to NFT sellers on the VRYNT Platform (or vice versa) via your Metamask (or similar) Wallet (each, a “Digital Wallet”) will not be held in custody or trust by VRYNT, ever. They are solely transferred directly to, in pertinent part, (1) the NFT sellers, (2) NFT buyers, and (3) to VRYNT (to pay for VRYNT Credits).
You authorize us to deduct our fees, gas fees, and to direct the pertinent percentage of each transaction to NFT Sellers and other parties by specifying their corresponding blockchain addresses and/or other technical means in each underlying sale transaction.
Banks and other credit or debit card issuers may offer a dispute process for credit or debit card payments made through Stripe. VRYNT does not handle or hold fiat funds, and is unable to assist with Chargebacks. VRYNT may hold back future proceeds to a seller, Collection Owner or other due party if amounts they are due derive from funds impacted by a Chargeback. You agree that VRYNT may suspend, and possibly confiscate On-Platform assets in your accounT if you have paid via credit card for and received a Component Pack, Component or NFT, and we receive a chargeback for that transaction. You agree to indemnify us and hold us harmless against any costs claimed against us as the result of any Chargebacks initiated by you.
You agree that VRYNT may limit the amount that you may use a credit card or debit card for on the Platform. This amount may be a different amount for a Component Pack, a component, or an NFT.

You also acknowledge and agree that gas is non-refundable under all circumstances.

WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE COMPANY OR ANY COMPANY PARTY CAN EFFECT THE TRANSFER OF TITLE OR RIGHT IN ANY NFTS.
The Company is not responsible for sustained losses due to vulnerability or any kind of failure, abnormal behavior of software (e.g., wallet, smart contract), blockchains, or any other features of NFTs. The Company is not responsible for sustained losses due to late reports by developers or representatives (or no report at all) of any issues with the blockchain supporting NFTs including forks, technical node issues or any other issues having fund losses as a result.
Nothing in this Agreement shall exclude or limit liability of either party for fraud, death or bodily injury caused by gross negligence, violation of laws, or any other activity that cannot be limited or excluded by legitimate means.

Please read the following agreement to arbitrate (“Arbitration Agreement”) in its entirety. This clause requires you to arbitrate disputes with VRYNT and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to: your access, use, or attempted access or use of the Platform; any products sold or distributed through the Platform; or any aspect of your relationship with VRYNT will be resolved by binding arbitration, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify; and (2) you or VRYNT may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyright, or patent). You agree that any such arbitration shall be settled solely and exclusively by binding arbitration held in Delaware, USA, administered by JAMS and conducted in English, rather than in court. VRYNT may, in its sole discretion, choose to hold the proceedings by remote teleconferencing, using any means acceptable to the Arbitrator.
Any such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the then-prevailing JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures, except that any dispute involving claims and counterclaims over $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to the then-prevailing JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures.
The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (1) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement; and (2) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including but not limited to any claim that all or part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable; (3) decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and VRYNT; (4) grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim; (5) award monetary damages and grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to a party under applicable law, arbitration rules, and these Terms of Use (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. Such an award is final and binding upon you and us.
You understand that by agreeing to this Arbitration Agreement, you and VRYNT are each waiving their right to trial by jury and to participate in a class action or class arbitration.
If any part of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then such part shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue to in full force and effect.
This Arbitration Agreement shall survive the termination of your relationship with VRYNT.
24) Termination
We reserve the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate your license to access or use the Platform, Services or Content, at any time and for any reason. You understand and agree that we shall have no liability or obligation to you in such an event.
25) Severability
If any term, clause, or provision of these Terms of Use is held invalid or unenforceable, then that term, clause, or provision shall be severable from these Terms of Use and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining part of that term, cause, or provision, or any other terms, clause, or provision of these Terms of Use.
26) Entire Agreement
These Terms of Use comprise the entire agreement between you and VRYNT relating to your access to and use of the Platform and Content, and supersede any and all prior discussions agreements, and understandings of any kind (including without limitation prior versions of this User Agreement). Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms of Use are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.
