NFT PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This NFT Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is a legally binding agreement by and between Vantage Top Group Limited (“Animoca”) and the initial and any subsequent purchaser of this Otherdeed (defined below) (“you” or “Purchaser”). Animoca and each Purchaser may be referred to throughout this Agreement collectively as the “Parties” or individually as a “Party”.
WHEN YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU ARE AGREEING (EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED BELOW) TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND ANIMOCA THROUGH BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT. PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY SECTION 10 “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” BELOW FOR DETAILS REGARDING ARBITRATION. HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF A JURISDICTION WHERE APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES, THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE IN SECTION 10 WILL NOT APPLY TO YOU BUT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 9 “GOVERNING LAW” OR RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE LAW WILL STILL APPLY. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS AN OBLIGATION ON ANIMOCA TO CREATE / PROVIDE ANY ACCESS RIGHTS IN RELATION TO THE OTHERDEEDS.
1. Agreement to Terms.
-
(a) General. By purchasing an Otherdeed, you acknowledge that you have carefully read and agree to the terms of this Agreement. “Otherdeed” means a non-fungible token (NFT) (i.e., a controllable electronic record recorded on a blockchain). Each Otherdeed is digital in nature and is not linked to and is not sold together with (i) any items or representations that have physical dimensions such as mass or volume, or (ii) any Access Rights (as defined below) as of the time of purchase. This Agreement governs your participation in the Primary Transactions on https://otherside.xyz/ (the “Website”) as well as Secondary Transactions between Transferors and Transferees (as defined below).
-
(b) Additional Terms. The access and use of the Website are subject to the separate terms of the Website available at https://otherside.xyz/: Purchaser further acknowledges that Purchaser has carefully read and has accepted the (i) Website Terms of Service (the “Website Terms”) and (ii) the Website Privacy Policy (the “Website Privacy Policy”) because the Website Terms and the Website Privacy Policy govern its use of the Website. This Agreement controls if there is a conflict between, on the one hand, any of the Website Terms or the Website Privacy Policy, and, on the other hand, this Agreement, with respect to Otherdeed.
2. Ownership of Otherdeed.
-
(a) When Purchaser acquires an Otherdeed, Purchaser owns all personal property rights to that Otherdeed (e.g., the right to freely sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of that Otherdeed). No other rights of any kind or nature with respect to the Otherdeed or any image or other intellectual property associated with, related to, or linked to, an Otherdeed are granted or licensed to Purchaser.
-
(b) Ownership of an Otherdeed may following the date hereof entitle the Purchaser to certain tangible or rights, benefits, interests, preferences, or privileges herein offered from time to time by Animoca or third parties in their respective sole discretion (“Access Rights”). Access Rights, if any, will be offered pursuant to separate terms (whether written or unwritten) published from time to time by Animoca, or the applicable third party.
-
(c) Purchaser represents and warrants that Purchaser will not transfer an Otherdeed in any Secondary Transaction to a Transferee who is designated or specified under regulations made under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 (Chapter 13) of the laws of England and Wales. (“Prohibited Transferee”). A “Secondary Transaction” means any transaction in which an Otherdeed is sold by one owner to another owner, or is otherwise transferred, distributed, or disseminated (regardless of whether consideration is paid) in any manner that is not a Primary Transaction; and “Primary Transaction” means a transaction facilitated through the Website in which an Otherdeed is first sold to Purchaser.
-
(d) For the avoidance of doubt, without limiting Section 2(a), nothing contained in this Agreement will be deemed to grant Purchaser any rights in or to any image or other intellectual property associated with, related to, or linked to, an Otherdeed, including any right to use such image or intellectual property for any non-personal or commercial purposes, or to create any derivative works of such image or intellectual property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the limited extent that an image is displayed as a result of the operation of the smart contract related to the Otherdeed in connection with Purchaser’s use of an Otherdeed in accordance with this Agreement, Purchaser will have the right to display such image for Purchaser’s own personal, non-commercial purpose for so long as Purchaser owns the Otherdeed.
3. Payment and Fees.
-
(a) Purchase and Sale. Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase the Otherdeed at the price set forth on the transaction page of the Website and in accordance with the procedures set forth on the Website (the “Primary Transaction Purchase Price”). Without limiting any of the foregoing, the valid acceptance of this Agreement, including the delivery of the Otherdeed, is conditioned upon the following terms being met: (i) Purchaser’s payment of the Primary Transaction Purchase Price, (ii) Purchaser’s provision, through the Website, of a Ethereum Network-compatible network wallet address and a “wallet” that is compatible with the Website (“Wallet”) to which the Otherdeed will be delivered; and (iii) Purchaser’s successful completion (as determined by Animoca in its sole discretion) of any applicable diligence and other processes as requested by the Animoca. If the Purchaser fails to meet any of the conditions above, Animoca may suspend the delivery of the purchased Otherdeed or terminate the Primary Transaction. Animoca reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to limit the number of Otherdeeds that may be purchased by any single person. Purchaser may only purchase a maximum number of Otherdeeds per Wallet as determined from time to time by Animoca in its sole discretion.

Animoca does not have any insight into or control over these payments or transactions, nor does Animoca have the ability to reverse any transactions.

Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that all Secondary Transactions will be effected on the Ethereum blockchain, the blockchain network governing the Otherdeed, and Purchaser will be required to make or receive payments exclusively through Purchaser’s cryptocurrency wallet.

ANIMOCA ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND THE DISCLAIMED PARTIES MAKES NO REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE THAT THE OTHERDEED WILL MEET PURCHASER’S REQUIREMENTS, OR THE OTHERDEED WILL BE AVAILABLE ON AN UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE BASIS. NEITHER ANIMOCA NOR THE DISCLAIMED PARTIES MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY REGARDING OR GUARANTEE REGARDING THE QUALITY, ACCURACY, TIMELINESS, TRUTHFULNESS, COMPLETENESS OR RELIABILITY OF ANY INFORMATION OR CONTENT RELATED TO THE OTHERDEED.
NEITHER ANIMOCA NOR THE DISCLAIMED PARTIES WILL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO PURCHASER FOR ANY LOSS, AND TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR, AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO PURCHASER FOR, ANY USE OF THE OTHERDEED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY LOSSES, DAMAGES OR CLAIMS ARISING FROM: (I) USER ERROR SUCH AS FORGOTTEN PASSWORDS, INCORRECTLY CONSTRUCTED TRANSACTIONS, OR MISTYPED WALLET ADDRESSES; (II) SERVER FAILURE OR DATA LOSS; (III) CORRUPTED FILES; (IV) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO THE OTHERDEED; OR (V) ANY THIRD PARTY ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE USE OF VIRUSES, HACKING, PHISHING, BRUTEFORCING OR OTHER MEANS OF ATTACK.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES IN CONTRACTS WITH CONSUMERS, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
5. Assumption of Risk. Purchaser accepts and acknowledges all risks associated with the following:
-
(a) The disclaimers set forth in Section 4 above.
-
(b) Any Access Rights, and the lack of Access Rights, as may be the case from time to time.
-
(c) Purchaser is solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes and gas fees apply to Purchaser’s purchase, sale, or transfer of the Otherdeed. Animoca is not responsible for determining or paying the taxes or gas fees that apply to such transactions.
-
(d) Otherdeeds are digital assets recorded and transferable on the Ethereum blockchain. Any transfer of an Otherdeed occurs through automated processes on the Ethereum blockchain, which is not controlled in any capacity by Animoca. Transactions involving Otherdeeds may be irreversible, and, accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable. Some transactions of the Otherdeeds shall be deemed to be made when recorded on the Ethereum blockchain ledger, which is not necessarily the date or time that Purchaser initiated the transaction.
-
(e) There are risks associated with using an Internet based digital asset, 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. Animoca will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when effecting transactions involving Otherdeeds, however caused, including any Gas Fees paid or payable in connection therewith. Animoca does not store your password, passkey, private key or other credentials needed to access the Otherdeeds following the sale, and will not be able to recover such items if you should lose them. Purchaser should keep a copy of your password, private key or passkey in a secure location.
-
(f) Transactions involving Otherdeeds may rely on third-party platforms to perform transactions which are outside of Animoca’s control.
6. Links to Third Party Websites or Resources. Use and interaction of the Otherdeed may allow Purchaser to access third-party websites or other resources. All such websites are provided only as a convenience and neither Animoca nor the Disclaimed Parties are responsible for the content, products, or services on or available from those resources or links displayed on such websites. Without limiting Section 5, Purchaser acknowledges sole responsibility for and assumes all risk arising from Purchaser’s use of any third-party resources. Under no circumstances shall Purchaser’s inability to view any image or display associated with an Otherdeed on a third-party website serve as grounds for a claim against Animoca or any Disclaimed Party.
7. Indemnity. Purchaser shall defend, indemnify, and hold Animoca and all Disclaimed Parties (collectively, the “Animoca Parties”) harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, investigations, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, settlements, interest, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) that directly or indirectly arise from or are related to any claim, suit, action, demand, or proceeding made or brought by a third party (including any person who accesses or transacts using the Otherdeeds whether or not such person personally purchased the Otherdeeds) against any Animoca Party, or on account of the investigation, defense, or settlement thereof, arising out of or in connection with (a) Purchaser’s purchase, ownership, use and interaction with the Otherdeeds, (b) Purchaser’s breach or anticipatory breach of this Agreement, (c) Purchaser’s violation or anticipatory violation of any laws, rules, regulations, codes, statutes, ordinances, or orders of any governmental and quasi-governmental authorities in connection with Purchaser’s use or interaction with the Otherdeeds, and (d) any misrepresentation made by Purchaser (all of the foregoing, “Claims and Losses”). Purchaser will cooperate as fully required by Animoca in the defense of any Claim and Losses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Animoca may act on behalf of the Purchaser to agree to any settlement or compromise with respect to any Claims and Losses, and any such agreement shall bind and be an obligation of the Purchaser. Animoca reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any Claims and Losses. Purchaser will not settle any Claims and Losses without, in each instance, the prior written consent of an officer of Animoca.
