YOUR OWNERSHIP RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

You may upload digital non-fungible tokens or NFTs that you have created, on the publicly shared blockchain through the service (“asset”) in accordance with these terms. Unless otherwise stated, you remain the owner of your assets.

Assets must be unique. Any assets that exhibit obvious visual similarities to a pre-existing asset will be removed from the service. You warrant and represent that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to your assets free of encumbrances and you know of no adverse claims to the assets.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that any assets you upload to the services comply with any applicable laws and third-party rights, including but not limited to any intellectual property rights and publicity rights, and that your assets are not libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, abusive, indecent, threatening, harassing, hateful, or offensive.

You agree that any information included in your assets may be used in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which can be viewed under the Privacy Policy on the Africarare.io site.

Africarare always has the right, in its sole discretion, to accept or reject any assets.

By using the services, you grant Africarare a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sub-licensable right, and license to use, reproduce, publicly display, distribute and adapt the assets for the purposes of providing and promoting the service and your assets.

ASSETS SOLD IN THE AFRICARARE MARKET

The price of any assets eligible for sale by you in the Africarare market (“market”) shall be mutually agreed, set by auction or some other agreed mechanism. You will control the scarcity of the asset in the market. Any revenue earned in the market for sales of an asset, less any transaction fees, shall be paid to you on the blockchain by the purchaser of your asset.

If you purchase and/or sell assets on the market, any financial transactions that you engage in will be conducted solely through the Ethereum network through Ethereum-compatible wallets and browsers. Africarare does not have any ability to reverse any transactions. Accordingly, we will have no liability to you or to any third party for any claims or damages that may arise because of any transactions that you engage in on the market.

Each sale in the market is subject to a fee payable by the purchaser to Africarare and is automatically applied as part of the sales transaction.

Africarare shall not be responsible for the payment of any sales, use, value-added and other taxes, duties, and assessments (aside from income tax) imposed by any governmental authority resulting from your ownership, transfer, or creation of any assets on the site.
