Terms of Service

Last Updated: October 21, 2024

Welcome to Markmaker! Please read these Terms of Service (the “Terms”) carefully. This is an agreement between you (“User,” “you,” “your”, or words of similar meaning) and Markmaker, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Markmaker”, “we”, “us”, “our,” or words of similar meaning) (each, a “Party” and, collectively, the “Parties”). These Terms govern your access to and use of the Markmaker website located at https://markmaker.xyz (the “Site”). To make these Terms easier to read, the Site, all related tools and platforms, and our online services are collectively called the “Services.”

THESE TERMS STATE THAT ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN US AND YOU MUST BE SETTLED IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT AND THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHTS TO A CLASS ACTION AND A JURY TRIAL.

  1. Agreement. By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not accept, do not use the Services, as your access of or use of the Services explicitly constitutes your acceptance of the Terms. If you choose to accept these Terms, you must do so as they are presented to you – no changes will be accepted by us. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the laws of some jurisdictions may limit or not permit certain provisions of these Terms, such as indemnification, the exclusion of certain warranties, or the limitation of liability. In such a case, such provisions will apply only to the maximum extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdictions.
  2. Our Services.
    1. Accessing the Services. Like much of Web3, your blockchain address functions as your identity on the Services. Accordingly, you will need a blockchain address and a third-party wallet (“Wallet”) which allows you engage in transactions on blockchains to access the Services. You will also need to register for an account (“Account”). Our Services may also allow you to store or share content such as text (including in posts or communications with others), files, documents, graphics, images (“User Content”).
    2. Your Account. You are only allowed to create one Account, and you agree you won't share your Account with anyone. You also agree that you will not: (i) create another Account if we've disabled one you previously established, unless you have our prior written consent; (ii) buy, sell, rent or lease access to your Account or username, unless you have our prior written consent; (iii) share your Account password with anyone; or (iv) log in or try to log in to access the Services through unauthorized third party applications or clients. Your Account will be associated with your linked blockchain address(es) and display the NFTs for that blockchain address(es) (and, if applicable, any content associated with such NFTs). You are solely responsible for your Account, and we are not liable for any acts or omissions by you in connection with your Account or as a result of your Account being compromised.
    3. Your Wallet. By using your Wallet in connection with the Services, you agree that you are using that Wallet under the terms and conditions of the applicable provider of the Wallet. We do not operate or maintain any Wallets, we are not affiliated with any Wallet, and we do not have custody or control over the contents of your Wallet. We have no ability to retrieve or transfer its contents. We accept no responsibility for, or liability to you, in connection with your use of a Wallet, and we make no representations or warranties regarding how the Services will operate with any specific Wallet. You are solely responsible for keeping your Wallet secure and you should never share your Wallet credentials or seed phrase with anyone. If you discover an issue related to your Wallet, please contact your Wallet provider. You are solely responsible for your Wallet, and we are not liable for any acts or omissions by you in connection with your Wallet or as a result of your Wallet being compromised.
    4. Equipment. You must provide all equipment, connectivity, and software necessary to connect to the Services. You are solely responsible for any fees, including Internet connection or mobile fees, that you incur when accessing the Services.
    5. Interruption to the Services. Your access and use of the Services may be interrupted from time to time for any of several reasons, including, without limitation, the malfunction of equipment, periodic updating, maintenance, or repair of the Services or other actions that we, in our sole discretion, may elect to take. You acknowledge and agree that your use of the internet and all access to and use of the Services is solely at your own risk.
  3. Changes to these Terms or the Services. We may update the Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. If we do, we'll let you know by posting the updated Terms on the Site or through other means of communication. It is important that you review the Terms whenever we update them or you use the Services, as they govern your use of the Services. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of the revised Terms or the provision of reasonable notice of any changes to the Terms will indicate your acceptance of any such changes. If you don't agree to be bound by the changes, you must discontinue use of the Services. Because our Services are evolving over time, we may change or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion. You agree that we will not be liable to you for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services.
  4. Additional Terms and Policies. Your access to and use of the Services is subject to additional terms and policies as may be posted on the Site from time to time (the “Additional Terms”), including our Privacy Policy, linked here[JL1] , (“Privacy Policy”), which also governs your use of the Services.

By using our Services, you agree to review and comply with the terms and policies of all such third-party service providers. Additionally, our Services may contain links to third-party websites and services. We provide such links as a convenience, and do not control or endorse these websites and services.

No Markmaker Content may be copied, reproduced, republished, uploaded, posted, publicly displayed or performed, downloaded, modified, transmitted, or distributed in any way without our express permission, except as may be required for you to access and view the Site or other Services.

    You may not delete or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary rights notices from copies of materials from the Services, use any Markmaker Content to link to the Service, or use framing techniques to enclose any Markmaker Content without our express written permission. We intend to vigorously enforce our rights, including our intellectual property rights.

  11. User Generated Content. Our Services may allow users to post, submit, publish, display, upload or transmit (together, “Post”) content or materials, such as text, files, documents, graphics, videos, or images on the Services (“UGC”). You retain ownership of any UGC that you Post, other than Feedback. You agree that any Posting that you do on the Services shall be compliant with all applicable laws, including intellectual property laws and advertising laws and guidelines, such as FTC regulations.

    By Posting any UGC on or through the Services you hereby grant to Markmaker and our affiliates a non-exclusive, transferable, worldwide, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, to use, copy, modify, create derivative works based upon, distribute, publicly display, and publicly perform your UGC only in connection with operating and providing the Services. You represent and warrant that you have, or have obtained, all rights, licenses, consents, permissions, power and/or authority necessary to grant the rights granted herein for any UGC that you Post on or through the Services.

    You represent and warrant that you have (and will have) all rights that are necessary to grant us the license rights in your UGC under these Terms and that neither your UGC, nor your use and provision of your UGC to be made available through the Services, nor any use of your UGC by Markmaker or its sublicensees as contemplated herein will infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate a third party's intellectual property rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation. You understand and acknowledge that you are solely responsible for any UGC that you Post, including its legality, reliability, accuracy, and appropriateness. We are not responsible or liable to any third party for the content or accuracy of any UGC Posted by you or any other user of the Services.

    We have the right to cooperate fully with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity or other information of anyone Posting any materials on or through the Services. Furthermore, we have the right to disclose your identity or other information about you to any third party who claims that material Posted by you violates their rights, including their intellectual property rights or their right to publicity or privacy. We may also take any action with respect to any UGC that we deem necessary or appropriate, including if we believe, in our sole discretion, that such UGC infringes any intellectual property right or other right of any person or entity, threatens the personal safety of users of the Services or the public, or could create liability for us. YOU WAIVE AND HOLD HARMLESS US AND OUR AFFILIATES, LICENSEES, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS FROM ANY CLAIMS RESULTING FROM ANY ACTION TAKEN BY US/ANY OF THE FOREGOING PARTIES DURING, OR TAKEN AS A CONSEQUENCE OF, INVESTIGATIONS BY EITHER US/SUCH PARTIES OR LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES.

    However, we do not undertake to review material before it is Posted on the Services and cannot ensure prompt removal of objectionable material after it has been Posted. Accordingly, we assume no liability for any action or inaction regarding transmissions, communications, or content provided by any user or third party. We have no liability or responsibility to anyone for performance or nonperformance of the activities described in this Section 11.

  12. Reliance on Information Posted. The information presented on or through the Services is made available solely for general information purposes. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of this information. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk. We disclaim all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such information by you or any other visitor to the Services, or by anyone who may be informed of any of the Service's contents.
  13. Termination. We may suspend or terminate some or all of your access to and use of the Services at our sole discretion, at any time and without notice to you, including if we determine in our sole discretion that you have violated these Terms, or your use of the Services is impacting the functioning or availability of the Services. Upon any termination, any provisions of these Terms which either expressly, or by their nature are intended to, survive shall so survive, including this provision and Sections 7-12 and Sections 14-20.
  14. DISCLAIMERS. OUR SERVICES AND ALL MARKMAKER CONTENT CONTAINED THEREIN IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND ON AN “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THE CONTINUOUS OPERATION OF OR ACCESS TO OUR SERVICES, AND WE MAKE NO WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE AVAILABLE ON AN UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FEE BASIS. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. WE SPECIFICALLY (BUT WITHOUT LIMITATION) DISCLAIM (A) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT; AND (B) ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE-OF-DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK FOR ANY DAMAGES THAT MAY RESULT FROM YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO OUR SERVICES. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THE ACCURACY OF, AND DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY FOR, ANY ERRORS OR OTHER INACCURACIES IN THE INFORMATION, CONTENT, RECOMMENDATIONS, AND MATERIALS MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH OUR SERVICES, INCLUDING THE MARKMAKER CONTENT.

    NOTHING IN THESE TERMS SHALL EXCLUDE OR LIMIT LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY FOR FRAUD, VIOLATION OF LAWS, OR ANY OTHER ACTIVITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED BY LEGITIMATE MEANS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES IN CONTRACTS WITH CONSUMERS, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. YOUR ACCESS OR USE OF A PRODUCT OR THE SERVICES IS YOUR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE WITH THE STATEMENTS MADE IN THIS DISCLOSURE AND THAT THIS SECTION CONSTITUTES SUFFICIENT DISCLOSURE UNDER THE LAW.

  15. Limitation of Liability.
    1. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AGREE THAT IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING PERSONAL INJURY, PAIN AND SUFFERING, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF DATA, AND WHETHER CAUSED BY TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE), WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF THE APPLICABLE JURISDICTION, IN NO EVENT WILL MARKMAKER’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID OR ARE PAYABLE BY YOU TO MARKMAKER FOR USE OF THE SERVICES. THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN MARKMAKER AND YOU. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of warranties or limitation of liability in certain circumstances. Accordingly, some of the above limitations or the disclaimer of warranties in this Section 15 may not apply to you.
    2. WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOSS AND TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR, AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR, ANY USE OF NFTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY LOSSES, DAMAGES OR CLAIMS ARISING FROM: (1) USER ERROR SUCH AS FORGOTTEN PASSWORDS, INCORRECTLY CONSTRUCTED TRANSACTIONS, OR MISTYPED ADDRESSES; (2) SERVER FAILURE OR DATA LOSS; (3) CORRUPTED WALLET FILES; (4) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO APPLICATIONS; OR (5) ANY UNAUTHORIZED THIRD PARTY ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE USE OF VIRUSES, PHISHING, BRUTEFORCING OR OTHER MEANS OF ATTACK AGAINST THE SERVICES OR CRYPTO ASSETS.
    3. NFTS ARE INTANGIBLE DIGITAL ASSETS WHICH EXIST ONLY BY VIRTUE OF THE OWNERSHIP RECORD MAINTAINED IN THE APPLICABLE BLOCKCHAIN NETWORK. ANY TRANSFER OF TITLE THAT MIGHT OCCUR IN ANY UNIQUE DIGITAL ASSET OCCURS ON THE DECENTRALIZED LEDGER WITHIN SUCH BLOCKCHAIN NETWORK. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT WE OR THE SERVICES CAN AFFECT THE TRANSFER OF TITLE OR RIGHT IN ANY NFTS.
    4. YOU BEAR FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR VERIFYING THE IDENTITY, LEGITIMACY, AND AUTHENTICITY OF ASSETS YOU PURCHASE ON THE SERVICES. NOTWITHSTANDING INDICATORS AND MESSAGES THAT SUGGEST VERIFICATION, WE MAKE NO CLAIMS ABOUT THE IDENTITY, LEGITIMACY, OR AUTHENTICITY OF ASSETS ON THE SERVICES.
    5. We are not responsible for sustained casualties due to vulnerability or any kind of failure or abnormal behavior of software (e.g., wallet, smart contract), blockchains or any other features of the NFTs. We are not responsible for casualties due to a late report by developers or representatives (or no report at all) of any issues with the blockchain supporting any NFTs, including forks, technical node issues or any other issues having fund losses as a result.
  16. Assumption of Risk. You accept and acknowledge:
    1. The prices and liquidity of cryptocurrency assets including NFTs, are extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the NFTs made available through the Services, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. We cannot guarantee that any minters of NFTs will not lose money. You acknowledge that you fully understand this subjectivity and volatility and that you may lose money;
    2. Our Services do not store, send, or receive cryptocurrency assets. This is because cryptocurrency assets exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on its supporting blockchain. Any transfer of cryptocurrency assets occurs within the supporting blockchain and not on the Services. Transactions in NFTs may be irreversible, and, accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable. Some transactions in NFTs shall be deemed to be made when recorded on a public ledger, which is not necessarily the date or time that you initiated the transaction;
    3. There are risks associated with using an Internet-based currency, including but not limited to, the risk of hardware, software and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information stored within your Wallet. You accept and acknowledge that we will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using the Services for transactions, however caused;
    4. A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development of those ecosystems and related applications and could therefore also negatively impact the potential utility or value of a certain NFT;
    5. The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the Services and the utility of NFTs;
    6. The Services may rely on third-party platforms to perform transactions with respect to any cryptocurrency assets. If (i) we are unable to maintain a good relationship with such platform providers; (ii) the terms and conditions or pricing of such platform providers change; (iii) we violate or cannot comply with the terms and conditions of such platforms; or (iv) any of such platforms loses market share or falls out of favor or is unavailable for a prolonged period of time, access to and use of the Services may suffer;
    7. There are risks associated with purchasing user-generated content, including but not limited to, the risk of purchasing counterfeit assets, mislabeled assets, assets that are vulnerable to metadata decay, assets on smart contracts with bugs, and assets that may become untransferable. We reserve the right to hide collections, contracts, and assets affected by any of these issues or by other issues. Assets you purchase may become inaccessible on our Services. Under no circumstances shall the inability to view your assets on the Services serve as grounds for a claim against us; and
    8. 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 may be irreversible, and we have no ability to reverse any transactions on the blockchain.
  17. Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Markmaker and its affiliates, and each of their respective past, present and future employees, officers, directors, contractors, consultants, equity holders, suppliers, vendors, service providers, parent companies, agents, representatives, predecessors, successors, and assigns (individually and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against all actual or alleged claims, damages, awards, judgments, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, interest, fees, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) and costs (including, without limitation, court costs, costs of settlement and costs of pursuing indemnification and insurance), of every kind and nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, matured or unmatured, or suspected or unsuspected, in law or equity, whether in tort, contract or otherwise (collectively, “Claims”), including, but not limited to, damages to property or personal injury, that are caused by, arise out of, or are related to: (a) your access to or use or misuse of the Services or UGC; (b) your UGC or Feedback; (c) your violation of these Terms or any applicable law or regulation; (d) your violation of the rights of a third party, including any intellectual property right or right of publicity or privacy; (e) your negligence or willful misconduct or (f) any disputes or issues between you and a third party.

    You agree to promptly notify Markmaker of any Claims and cooperate with the Indemnified Parties in defending such Claims. You further agree that the Indemnified Parties shall have control of the defense or settlement of any third-party Claims, unless otherwise mutually agreed to, which may be at your cost and expense. Markmaker will have the right to demand and be paid its actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses on an ongoing basis without prejudice to any other remedies available to Markmaker. In any event, you will not settle any Claim without Markmaker’s prior written consent, and you acknowledge and agree that any settlement or attempted settlement of the third-party Claims as described herein without Markmaker’s prior written consent shall be void. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and in such case, you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claim.

  18. Governing Law and Forum Choice. These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. To the extent that any lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted hereunder, you and we agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within New York, New York, for the purpose of litigating all such disputes.
  19. Disputes
    1. JURY TRIAL WAIVER. YOU HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE A TRIAL BY JURY.
    2. CLASS ACTION WAIVER. YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BROUGHT, HEARD, ADMINISTERED, RESOLVED, OR ARBITRATED ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MASS ACTION BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND DISPUTES OF MORE THAN ONE USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.
    3. All provisions in this Section 18 shall survive the termination of this agreement.
  20. General Terms. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other Additional Terms, constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and us regarding your use of and access to the Services, and supersede and replace all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between you and Markmaker regarding the Services. Except as expressly permitted above, these Terms may only be amended by a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of the parties. The failure to require performance of any provision shall not affect our right to require performance at any time thereafter, nor shall a waiver of any breach or default of the Terms constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Markmaker. Use of paragraph headers in the Terms is for convenience only and shall not have any impact on the interpretation of particular provisions. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Markmaker’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns. If you have any questions about these Terms, please contact Markmaker at hello@markmaker.xyz.
