By continuing to access or use the Service, you confirm your acceptance of the revised Terms and all of the terms incorporated therein by reference effective as of the date these Terms are updated. It is your sole responsibility to review the Terms from time to time to view such changes and to ensure that you understand the terms and conditions that apply when you access or use the Service. We sometimes need to provide additional terms for specific services (and all such services are deemed part of the “Service” hereunder and shall also be subject to these Terms). Those additional terms and conditions, which are available in connection with the relevant service and hereby incorporated by reference, then become part of your agreement with us if you use those Services. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and any additional applicable terms we may provide for a specific service, such additional terms shall control for that specific service.

IV. Legal Capacity To Use the Services

You expressly represent and warrant that you have the right, authority, and capacity to enter into this agreement on behalf of yourself and any third-party individual, digital wallet, or organization for which you are acting as an authorized agent by using the Service. You expressly represent and warrant that you are over the age of majority in your jurisdiction and at least over the age of thirteen (13). If you are under eighteen (18) years old you may only use the Services through a parent or guardian’s Account and upon their separate agreement to these Terms. It is prohibited to use our Service if you are under thirteen (13) years old.

If you use our Services from or on behalf of a company, artist, collective, digital autonomous organization (“DAO”), smart contract, or any other type of entity or third party then “you” includes you and that entity, and you represent and warrant that: (i) you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind the entity to these Terms, (ii) you are authorized by the entity to initiate transactions and interact with our Smart Contracts from your digital wallet on behalf of the entity; and (iii) you agree to these Terms on the entity’s behalf. If you utilize “bots,” “spiders,” “Smart Contracts,” or other technical instruments or agents to use our Services, then “you” includes you and that technical instrument or agent. You bear all responsibility and liability stemming from the use of such technical instruments.

V. Your Legal Responsibilities

In addition to other responsibilities and obligations provided in these Terms, you are solely responsible for evaluating, observing, and discharging any applicable legal obligations and requirements that may apply to your voluntary use of the Services.  Without limitation, you are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your transactions and to withhold, collect, report, and remit the correct amounts of taxes to the appropriate tax authorities. Transient is not responsible for determining, withholding, collecting, reporting, or remitting the taxes that apply to your assets or NFTs. Further, you agree not to use our Smart Contracts in any manner that could be violative of applicable regulation. We strongly encourage you to seek the help of competent legal and tax professionals before making use of the Service and especially before using the Smart Contracts to conduct the sale or distribution of NFTs. Nothing in these Terms should be construed as legal advice, tax advice, investment advice, or a legal opinion.

VI. The Services Rely on Experimental Technologies

As of the date that these Terms were last updated, our Smart Contracts are deployed only to the Ethereum blockchain. The Ethereum blockchain is a decentralized, open-source blockchain that is not under the direct control of Transient or any specific third party. The Ethereum blockchain enables the operation of automatically executable computer programs (i.e., “Smart Contracts,” “decentralization application,” or “DApps”) with functions that are deterministic, publicly inspectable, and executed by the independent network of Ethereum transaction validators.

Transient’s Services enable you to voluntarily interact with these experimental technologies, including the Ethereum blockchain, Smart Contracts, NFT(s), cryptocurrencies, and stable coins, which are subject to many risks, uncertainties, and potentially unknown security vulnerabilities, bugs, and possible exploits. The Services, Smart Contracts, and your digital wallet and assets may be the target of third-party attacks, including but not limited to phishing, Sybil attacks, brute-forcing, inactive listing exploits, impersonations, or the use of viruses (“Third-Party Attacks”). Transient will not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any actual or alleged loss or damage sustained by You in connection with Third-Party Attacks.  Blockchain technologies and digital assets are subject to many legal and regulatory uncertainties that could adversely impact the Services, which could impede or limit your ability to continue the use and enjoy of the Services.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Transient disclaims any and all liability related to the foregoing experimental technologies, including liability arising from Transient’s Services and Smart Contracts.

Transactions initiated through the Services that invoke our Smart Contracts are publicly broadcasted, processed, validated, managed, and confirmed entirely by your third-party digital wallet provider the public Ethereum blockchain, or any other blockchain that Transient may designate in its sole discretion. You understand that the digital wallet that you use to mint, program, sell NFTs, or otherwise interact with our Smart Contracts, and all transaction details associated with your digital wallet activity may be public information.
‍
The Ethereum blockchain requires the payment of a transaction fee (a “Gas Fee”) for transactions executed by our Smart Contracts. The value of the Gas Fee changes, often unpredictably, and is entirely outside of Transient’s control. The User acknowledges that under no circumstances will a contract, agreement, offer, sale, bid, or other transaction involving our Smart Contracts be invalidated, revocable, reversible, refundable, or otherwise unenforceable on the basis that the Gas Fee for the given transaction was unknown, too high, or otherwise unacceptable to a User.

VII. The Transient Smart Contracts are Non-Custodial

The Transient Smart Contracts are non-custodial Smart Contracts deployed to the Ethereum blockchain that store information and perform limited functions related to minting, creating, deploying, constructing, and experiencing NFTs, including at least the Smart Contracts identified in our developer documentation provided here. Your ordinary use of the Services does not require you to give Transient possession, custody, or control of your digital wallet, your deployed Smart Contracts, your NFTs or other assets held in your digital wallet. Transient does not stand as an intermediary, processor, escrow agent, or direct beneficiary of any transactions conducted by you involving other users of the Service or our Smart Contracts. Transient is not a party to any agreement or transactions involving you and other users or third parties. Transient is anon-custodial service provider. Transient is not a wallet provider, exchange, broker, financial institution, money services business, or creditor. Certain Smart Contracts may be considered “custodial” by virtual of the You having exclusive custody and ownership of your deployed Smart Contracts, but our Smart Contracts do not enable or require Transient or any third party to take custody or control of your assets, unless you separately and voluntarily authorize us or third parties as administrators or owners of your owned Smart Contracts through an on-chain transaction authenticated by your digital wallet.

Transient may facilitate access to third party Smart Contracts or services through the Site. Transient assumes no duty to facilitate access to, maintain, or otherwise make available for you to use any particular Smart Contracts. You understand and agree that you are able to make full technical use of our Smart Contracts, and your deployed Smart Contracts, without using the Site or Services and that you do not need to not rely upon the Site or Services to make use of our Smart Contracts or your NFTs.

The Smart Contracts may be programmed by you through the Site to perform payment or royalty splits, or other types of functions involving the transfer or distribution of digital assets. You understand and agree that all information that you convey to or otherwise program within any Smart Contract (including but not limited to wallet addresses or % splits) must be entirely accurate in order to function as expected. You understand that your failure to input correct information to the Smart Contracts may result in lost funds or other difficulties.  The Smart Contracts do not generally process, collect, or distribute any fees, commissions, or royalties for private transactions involving manual settlement between buyers and sellers or otherwise not invoking the Smart Contracts or third party Smart Contracts that honor recognized creator royalties. You understand and agree that royalty configuration do not guarantee that you will receive any royalties for secondary sales.  You irrevocably release, acquit, and forever discharge Transient and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, and successors of any liability for royalties, commissions, or fees not received by You for any reason.

VIII. Users Consents to the Automated Operation of Smart Contracts

You agree and understand that all transactions executed by you, NFTs minted or programmed by you, and all fees, commissions, assets, NFTs, and royalties transferred by or received by you are processed and settled exclusively by the public Ethereum Blockchain - not Transient. Transient does not control the Ethereum blockchain or any other public blockchain. Transient has no ability to reverse any transactions broadcasted to or previously settled by the Ethereum blockchain. By invoking or interacting with our Smart Contracts, you agree and irrevocably consent to the automated processing of any authorized transactions or functionalities enabled by our Smart Contracts.  You expressly delegate to all Smart Contracts that you interact with through the Services the fullest necessary legal and technical authority to process, settle, and execute all functions and transactions initiated by you or your digital wallet. You hereby consent to and agree to be irreversibly bound by the outcome of any transaction, Smart Contract operation or function, or blockchain state change initiated by your digital wallet.

You acknowledge and agree that the Smart Contracts may be subject to bugs, malfunctions, timing errors, vulnerabilities, hacking and theft, or changes or errors of the Ethereum blockchain (including "forks"), which can adversely affect the Smart Contracts, affect you property interests over your NFTs or digital assets, and may expose you to a risk of total loss or forfeiture of your digital assets. Transient does not guarantee, and is not responsible for, your ability to exercise your rights with respect to NFTs or digital assets held in your digital wallet or with respect to your use or enjoyment of our Smart Contracts.

You acknowledge and agree that you have the opportunity to review, whether through the Services or through your third-party wallet provider, our Smart Contract code and every blockchain transaction or message executed by your digital wallet. You hereby affirm that you will not approve of any transaction that is inconsistent with your intent.

IX. Non-Reliance

You are knowledgeable, experienced, and sophisticated in using and evaluating blockchain and related technologies, digital assets, NFTs, and “Smart Contracts.” You represent that you have sufficient knowledge, market sophistication, professional advice, and experience to make your own evaluation of the merits and risks of any transaction conducted via the Services or involving the Smart Contracts. You represent that you have the knowledge, experience, and ability to take full custody and control over your deployed Smart Contracts and that you understand that you can interact with or control your deployed Smart Contracts through an Ethereum block explorer like etherscan.io. You have conducted your own thorough independent investigation and analysis of the Services and Smart Contracts and the other matters contemplated by these Terms. You agree that you have had the full opportunity to review, audit, and ask us questions about our Smart Contracts and all related functions, permissions, and information associated thereto. You have not relied up-on any information, statement, omission, representation, or warranty, express or implied, written or oral, made by or on behalf of Transient in connection therewith, except as expressly set forth by Transient in these Terms.

X. Accessing and Using The Service

To create an Account and enjoy full functionality of our Services you must connect your third-party Ethereum-compatible digital wallet on a supported wallet provider (such as MetaMask). By connecting your wallet to the Site, you expressly represent that you are the lawful and rightful owner of the digital wallet and that you are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your wallet and your control over any wallet-related authentication credentials, private or public cryptocurrency keys, and non-fungible tokens or cryptocurrencies that are stored in or are accessible through your wallet. You may be required to authenticate ownership of your digital wallet before you can perform transactions through the Services by cryptographically verifying, through your third-party wallet provider your possession of the digital wallet’s associated private key. You are to only use your digital wallet under the terms and conditions established by your third party-wallet provider. Your digital wallet and all assets held therein are your personal property, and not the property of Transient. Transient has no responsibility or technical ability to manage, modify, secure, or perform transactions on behalf of your digital wallet. If you provide an email or other information to us in association with the Creation of your account, we may use your information in any manner described in our Privacy Policy.

XI. Your Wallet is Your Sole Responsibility

You are solely and exclusively responsible for the security and management of your digital wallet(s). For your safety and the safety of other Users, you agree to maintain reasonable security measures over your digital wallet private keys, make best efforts to avoid potential scams which may compromise the security of your wallet or others, and to preserve the upmost secrecy of your digital wallet private key, seed phrase, your Account details, passwords, and any other information that you use to access your digital wallet or the Account. You are solely responsible for ensuring that Account(s) registered in association with your digital wallet will not be used by any unauthorized person(s) or entities. Transient accepts no responsibility for, and disclaims all liability to you, in connection with the security or use of or your use of your digital wallet and disclaims any responsibility or obligation to assist or remedy you in the event of a breach of your digital wallet’s security. We are not liable for any acts or omissions by you in connection with your Account or as a result of your Account or digital wallet being compromised. Further, you agree that you may be liable to Transient, other Users, or other third parties for harm or losses arising from acts or omissions by you related to the security of your digital wallet.

You agree to notify us immediately of any actual or suspected breach of security, loss, theft, or unauthorized use of your digital wallet or Account at contact@transientlabs.xyz.

XII. User Accounts & Usernames

Usernames Accounts are available on a first-come, first-served basis.  Only one unique username can be assigned to each respective Ethereum digital wallet address. You must provide accurate, updated, and complete registration information when you create an account. As between you and Transient, usernames and accounts are not your intellectual property or personal property. Transient reserves the unilateral right to terminate, modify, suspend or restrict your username or your access to your account and the Services without notice if we suspect that the account has been compromised, is inactive, was obtained only for future use, was obtained for the purpose of squatting, is infringing on our intellectual property rights or the potential rights of third parties, has been or will be used for any illegal, fraudulent, or unauthorized purposes, or if the account has been involved in an actual or suspected violation of these Terms. Under no circumstances shall Transient be responsible or liable for any direct or indirect losses (including loss of profits, business, or opportunities) suffered by you or any other person or entity due to any such termination, suspension, modification, or restriction of access to your account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Transient has no right or technical ability to interfere with your lawful possession or enjoyment of your NFTs or digital wallet, which does not depend on your ability to access the Services.

XXVIII. Acknowledgements; Assumption of the Risk

You assume all risks concerning the Service, interactions with Smart Contracts and digital assets, and the potential inaccuracies or errors of information or functionality provided in connection with the Service. Without limitation, you accept and acknowledge any and all risks stated or implied in these Terms, including:
‍

• The technology utilized in delivering the Services and Services     depends on experimental, public peer-to--peer-networks such as the Ethereum blockchain that are not under the control or influence of Transient and are subject to many known (and unknown) risks and uncertainties.
• The Smart Contracts may not function as intended and may cause a permanent loss of your funds, or other potentially harmful consequences  
• You acknowledge and agree that the costs and speeds of     transacting on Ethereum are variable and may increase or decrease dramatically at any time, resulting in prolonged inability to access or use ETH or other cryptocurrency, NFT(s), or other digital assets associated with the Service.
• Your access and use of the Services may be interrupted from time to time for any reason.
• Advances in code cracking, or technical advances such as the development of quantum computers, may present significant risks to the Ethereum blockchain, the Services, Smart Contracts, NFTs, and other digital assets, including the theft, loss or inaccessibility thereof.
• The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, non-fungible tokens, cryptocurrency, and other crypto-based items is     uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the Services and the utility or value of NFTs.
• You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes     apply to your transactions and to withhold, collect, report, and remit the correct amounts of taxes to the appropriate tax authorities. Transient is not responsible for determining, withholding, collecting, reporting, or remitting the taxes that apply to your assets or NFTs.
• We do 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 Transient has no ability to reverse any transactions on the blockchain.
• There are risks associated with using and blockchain based     services, including, but not limited to, the risk associated with     hardware, software, and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain     unauthorized access to your third-party wallet or Account.

XXIX. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that in no event will Transient or its service providers be liable to you or any third party for any reasons, including but not limited to: (a) any loss sustained by You resulting from a hack, bug, or Smart Contract error or exploit, locked assets,  or any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special, or punitive damages arising from these Terms, products or third-party Services and products, or for any damages related to loss of revenue, loss of profits, loss of business or anticipated savings, loss of use, loss of goodwill, or loss of data, loss of assets,  and whether caused by strict liability or tort (including negligence), breach of contract, or otherwise, even if foreseeable and even if Transient or its service providers have been advised of the possibility of such damages; or (b) for any other claim, demand, or damages whatsoever resulting from or arising out of or in connection with these Terms of the delivery, use, or performance of the Service.

The foregoing limitations will apply even if the above stated remedy fails of its essential purpose.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. Some jurisdictions also limit disclaimers or limitations of liability for personal injury from consumer products, so this limitation may not apply to personal injury claims.

XXX. Arbitration Agreement & Waiver of Certain Rights, Including Class Actions

Please read this section carefully because it limits certain rights, including the right to maintain a court action, the right to a jury trial, the right to participate in any form of class or representative claim, the right to engage in discovery except as provided in AAA (American Arbitration Association) rules, and the right to certain remedies and forms of relief.  Other rights that you or Transient would have in court also may not be available in arbitration. This section does not govern disputes between users or between users and third parties. Transient does not provide dispute resolution services for such disagreements and the parties must resolve those disputes directly.

• You and Transient Agree to Binding Arbitration and To Waive a Jury Trial
  
  You and Transient agree to resolve any disputes between us through binding and final arbitration, other than claims that qualify to be brought in small claims court.   You waive your right to any jury trial of any claim against Transient and its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, assigns, affiliates, shareholders, parents, subsidiaries, agents and licensors. Transient waives its right to any jury trial of any claim against you.
  
  Any and all disputes, controversies, claims and counterclaims, arising between You and Transient of any type or nature whatsoever, including but not limited to those relating to these Terms of Service, our Services, an NFT, your Smart Contracts, or any transaction conducted through the Services, other than those that qualify to be brought in small claims court, (“Disputes”) must be submitted for binding arbitration under the Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA Rules”). But first, You and Transient both agree to engage in good-faith efforts to resolve disputes prior to either party initiating an arbitration, small claims court proceeding, or equitable relief for intellectual property infringement. The arbitration will be heard and determined by a single arbitrator, who may decide whether a dispute is subject to arbitration, and whose decision on all issues will be final and binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.  You and Transient agree that the arbitration will be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including, without limitation, any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged and any testimony or other oral submissions and awards) will not be disclosed beyond the arbitration proceedings, except as may lawfully be required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration orby applicable disclosure rules and regulations of securities, regulatory authorities, or other governmental agencies.
  
  This arbitration agreement does not preclude You or Transient from seeking action by federal, state, or local government agencies consistent with these Terms.  Specifically, the right of You and  Transient may bring qualifying claims in small claims court.  In addition, You or Transient may ask any court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration of any dispute, other than one that qualifies to be filed in small claims court, or to enforce the arbitrator’s award.  Other than small claims actions and actions to compel arbitration or enforce the arbitrator’s award, Transient and You must arbitrate all Disputes.  
• Arbitration Costs
  
  If you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Transient will pay as much of the administrative costs and arbitrator fees required for the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the cost of the arbitration from being prohibitive.  In the final award, the arbitrator may apportion the costs of arbitration and the compensation of the arbitrator among the parties in such amounts as the arbitrator deems appropriate.
• Class Action Waiver
  
  You may not act as a class representative nor participate as a class member of any class claimants with respect to any claim. Claims may not be arbitrated on a class, collective, or representative basis.  You may only bring individual claims, and the arbitrator may only decide individual claims.  The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated.

XXXI. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and your access to and use of the Service shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Delaware (without regard to conflict of law rules or principles of Delaware, or any other jurisdiction that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction).

XXXII. Termination

If you breach any of the provisions of these Terms, all licenses and privileges granted by Transient will terminate automatically. Additionally, notwithstanding anything contained in these Terms, we reserve the right, with or without notice and in our sole discretion, to suspend, disable, terminate, or delete your Account and/or your ability to access or use the Service (or any part of the foregoing) at any time and for any or no reason, and 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.

XXXIII. Severability

If any term, clause, or provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, then that term, clause, or provision will be severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining part of that term, clause, or provision, or any other term, clause, or provision of these Terms.

XXXIV. Injunctive Relief

You agree that a breach of these Terms will cause irreparable injury to Transient for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and Transient shall be entitled to equitable relief in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law without a bond, other security, or proof of damages.

XXXVII. Survival

XXXVIII. Indemnification

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Transient relating to your access to and use of the Service. Transient’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

The section headings used herein are for reference only and shall not be read to have any legal effect.

We reserve the right to assign our rights without restriction, including without limitation to any Transient Party, or to any successor in interest of any business associated with Transient.

Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.
