Transactions
You may be asked to supply certain information relevant to a transaction including, without limitation, information about your method of payment (such as your payment card number and expiration date), your billing address, and your shipping information. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO USE ANY PAYMENT CARD(S) OR OTHER PAYMENT METHOD(S) UTILIZED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSACTION. By submitting such information, you grant to Company the right to provide such information to third parties for purposes of facilitating the completion of transactions initiated by you or on your behalf. Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any transaction. If Company is unable to process your payment using the payment method you provide, Company may cancel or suspend your order in the event of any payment delinquency or until a valid payment method has been provided. All credit and debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by Company or its third party payment processor. If your card issuer refuses to authorise payment for your order, Company will be unable to dispatch the goods to you, and Company will not be responsible for any delay or non-delivery. Company will not be informed of the reason for refusal and therefore, is unable to inform you of the reason that your card issuer has refused payment. Company is not responsible for any card or bank charges issued by your card issuer as a result of processing payment for your order.
All descriptions, images, references, content, products and prices of goods described or depicted on the Sites are subject to change at any time without notice. By placing an order, you represent that the goods ordered will be used only in a lawful manner.

All goods available on the Site are subject to change without notice and are available as supplies last.

Goods may be available only in limited quantities and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis or as otherwise described on the Site. You should regularly consult the Site for updates regarding product availability and terms.
Company’s acknowledgement of an order means that your order request has been received; it does not mean that your order has been accepted or shipped or that the price or availability of an item has been confirmed. Company aims to describe and display products accurately on the Site. However, some items on the Site may be mispriced, described inaccurately or unavailable, and Company may experience delays in updating information on the Site and in our advertising on other sites.

Company reserves the right to change or update information and to correct errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time without prior notice.

Company may be unable to change the delivery address after the order confirmation. Delivery dates advised by Company in an order confirmation (consisting of a delivery date for the goods) are approximations and Company will not be liable for any loss or damage due to its failure to meet scheduled delivery dates or for failure to give notice of delay. Time for delivery shall not be of the essence.
If any problems arise with your account, shipping address, or payment method connected with your account that Company is unable to resolve, Company may notify you through the email address associated with your order and your order may be cancelled. Additional orders may not be shipped until the problem has been resolved.

These Additional Terms and Conditions apply to the services SYKY makes available for sale of NFTs and Associated Materials (as defined below) as well as, wherein applicable, physical (non-digital) items available at: www.syky.com (the “Marketplace”).
By (1) participating (whether as a seller or a purchaser) in any sale of and/or acquiring any non-fungible blockchain-based digital asset or token (each, an “NFT”) through the Marketplace, or otherwise acquiring any such NFT from a previous holder of the NFT, and/or (2) indicating your acceptance of these Terms on the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service, along with any additional terms provided to you on the Marketplace or otherwise in the process of making a purchase (collectively, these “Marketplace Terms”). These Marketplace Terms apply to any person selling NFT (a “Seller”) or purchasing NFTs (a “Purchaser”) on the Marketplace. NFTs available for purchase on the Marketplace may include NFTs created by SYKY, including (unless otherwise stated) NFTs created by the designers participating in The SYKY Collective ("SYKY NFTs") as well as NFT created by other parties ("3rd Party NFTs") that Sellers choose to list for sale on the Marketplace. Except where otherwise indicated, these Marketplace Terms apply equally to sale and purchase of SYKY NFTs and 3rd Party NFTs.
These Marketplace Terms supplement SYKY’s General Terms and Conditions set out above and SYKY’s Privacy Policy. Certain capitalized terms used in these Marketplace Terms are defined in the Terms.
We may make changes and improvements to the Marketplace and update these Marketplace Terms from time to time. Changes to these Terms will be posted on the Site, and to the extent required by applicable law, we will also notify you of any significant changes in advance, which may be by email or via a prominent notice on the Site. You can choose to stop using the Marketplace at any time. New versions of these Marketplace Terms will take effect on the posted effective date. You agree to review these Marketplace Terms periodically to ensure that you are familiar with the most recent version.
1. Eligibility.
a. By using the Marketplace you represent and warrant that you have the full right, power and authority to agree to, abide by and comply with these Marketplace Terms, to access the Marketplace, and purchase or sell any NFT(s) as set forth herein. You further represent and warrant that you are of the legal age of majority in your applicable jurisdiction. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with any and all applicable laws and/or regulations in your local jurisdiction, and that neither SYKY nor any other purchase or seller shall be liable to any extent for your compliance or failure to comply with any such laws and/or regulations.
b. You further represent and warrant that you have lawfully obtained all funds and/or assets (e.g., digital assets, such as Ethereum (ETH)) you may use for Marketplace transactions (e.g., for payment of the Purchase Price (as defined below) for any NFT), in compliance with all applicable laws and/or regulations. You acknowledge that SYKY may require you to provide additional information and/or documentation and/or take certain action(s) in order to ensure compliance with applicable laws and/or regulations (e.g., those related to tax withholding, or anti-money laundering), compliance with these Terms, and/or any other reason (e.g., to facilitate “allowlist” access to the sale of any NFT(s)), and agree that you will provide any such additional information and/or documentation upon request. You further acknowledge and agree that SYKY and/or its designee(s) may remove your access to the Marketplace and your ability to purchase any NFT(s) at any time, for any reason, with or without notice to you.
c. SYKY reserves the right to terminate your access to and use of the Marketplace, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice, for any or no reason.
2. Sales, Prices and Taxes.
a. Any purchase on the Marketplace for NFT(s) requires immediate payment in full of the applicable purchase price (as set forth on the Marketplace) (the “Purchase Price”) at the time of purchase, and is non-refundable. You acknowledge and agree that, due to the nature of blockchain technology, once any transaction has been executed, the transaction cannot be cancelled or reversed for any reason.
b. A Seller is permitted to change the Purchase Price for any NFT at any time prior to the applicable sale thereof. If you are a Purchaser, you authorize SYKY or its third party payment processor to charge you the applicable Purchase Price for any NFT that you purchase on the Marketplace, as in effect at the time your purchase is confirmed.
c. Buying, selling, or transferring NFTs may be subject to fees, commissions, royalties and other charges including:
(1) Commission fee charged by SYKY on mints from primary drops on the Marketplace, currently set at 10%;
(2) Marketplace service fee charged by SYKY on all secondary transactions on the Marketplace (“Marketplace Fees”), currently set at 3%;
(3) Royalty fee on secondary transactions of NFTs, payable to the original creator of such NFTs, currently set at 10%; and
(4) Gas Fees, as further described below (collectively “Fees”).
Fees are subject to change from time to time without prior notice. SYKY will inform you of any changes in applicable Fees by publishing these on the Marketplace or through another method of our choice. It is your responsibility to inform yourself of applicable Fees before engaging in any transaction on the Marketplace. Fees are generally non-refundable except as to the extent required by applicable law.
d. You further acknowledge and agree that, the consensus rules of the Applicable Blockchain (as defined below) may require the payment of an additional per-transaction fee, paid to the nodes or validators operating the Designated Blockchain (a “Gas Fee”). You will be solely responsible to pay any and all Gas Fee(s) associated with the blockchain-based transactions that you conduct in connection with the sale and/or acquisition of any NFT(s), as well as all taxes, fees, duties and governmental assessments that are imposed or become due in connection with your use of the Marketplace (including, without limitation, any transactions involving your ownership or transfer of any NFT(s)). Except for income taxes directly levied on SYKY, you (1) will pay or reimburse SYKY for all taxes and assessments of any jurisdiction, including value added taxes and taxes as required by any national, state, local or any other taxing jurisdiction or international tax treaties, customs or other import or export taxes; and (2) will not be entitled to deduct the amount of any such taxes, duties or assessments from any payment(s) made to SYKY on the Marketplace.
e. You further acknowledge and agree that any subsequent sale or transfer of any NFT may be subject to royalties and/or other fees imposed by the Marketplace or any third-party marketplace that facilitates such sale or transfer, and, in the event that any such royalties and/or fees are paid or accrue, SYKY and/or the applicable Seller(s) may receive a portion thereof. Any such sale or transfer shall be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to any such third-party marketplace.
3. Auctions.
In certain cases, NFTs and/or physical (non-digital) items may be offered for sale on the Marketplace through an auction process (an “Auction Sale”). Auction Sales are subject to the following additional terms and conditions, as well as any additional terms as may be published on the Marketplace page on which the Auction Sale is conducted:
a. The auction will have a designated start date and time, and an ending date and time (the “Auction Period”).
b. Bids placed by users will be denominated in the ETH. In order to place a successful bid, a user must be logged into their account, have a valid email address associated with their account, and have a sufficient quantity of ETH in their linked wallet at the time their bid is placed, else the bid will be disqualified. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure their wallet is adequately funded before participating in an Auction Sale.
c. Unless otherwise indicated on the Auction Page, (i) bids may be placed at a start price of 0.65 ETH, and (ii) there will be no ‘reserve price’ i.e. the auctioned asset will be sold to the user placing the highest qualified bid without regard to any minimum price.
d. Once a bid is placed, the bid is binding and irrevocable and cannot be withdrawn or cancelled. If the bid you submit is the highest bid received during the Auction Period, the sale to you will be completed at the bid price. By placing a bid, you authorize SYKY to withdraw the bid price from your wallet in the event you place the winning bid.
e. You may continue to place higher bids through the end of the Auction Period. However any new bid placed must be at least 5% higher than the highest existing bid price.
f. No bidding will be permitted after the end of the posted Auction Period, unless a new high bid is placed within the last 10 minutes before the end of the Auction Period, in which case the Auction Period will be extended for an additional 30 minutes. There may be more than one such extension.
g. Winning bidders will be notified by email following the conclusion of the Auction Sale.
h. Participating bidders in the Auction Sale represent and warrant that (1) they do not ordinarily reside in Iran, Syria, Cuba, North Korea, or the Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia regions of Ukraine (“Sanctioned Jurisdictions”); (2) they are not found on any of the sanctions lists (“Sanctioned Person”) promulgated by any of the government agencies or authorities of the United States, the European Union, or the United Kingdom; (3) they are not entering the auction on behalf of a person ordinarily residing in one of the Sanctioned Jurisdictions or on behalf of a Sanctioned Person; and (4) they will not re-sell any items won to any persons ordinarily residing in Sanctioned Jurisdictions or to an otherwise Sanctioned Person, or use the items in any manner that would cause SYKY to violate any applicable sanctions, including the U.S., EU and the UK sanctions.
4. Transfer of NFTs.
a. In order to purchase and receive any NFT(s) through the Marketplace, you may be required to connect your digital-asset wallet to the Marketplace. Likewise, to sell an NFT, you will need to connect your digital-asset wallet to the Marketplace, and ensure that the NFT to be sold is contained in the wallet and available for transfer. You hereby grant the Marketplace permission to access and/or interact with such a wallet to the extent necessary to the NFT(s) to be purchased or sold. Following the purchase of any NFT(s) pursuant hereto, such NFT(s) will be delivered to the Purchaser’s wallet. If the Marketplace is unable to deliver such NFT(s) to the Purchaser’s wallet for any reason (e.g., a failure to broadcast the transaction representing the order of such NFT(s) to the Designated Blockchain), the purchase may be voided. Neither SYKY or any applicable Seller shall bear any responsibility for any NFT(s) misdelivered as a result of incorrect information provided by a Purchaser. Purchasers and Sellers are responsible for ensuring that their respective digital-asset wallet is accurately and properly connected to the Marketplace.
b. You are solely responsible for keeping your wallet secure. You should never share your wallet credentials or seed phrase with anyone. You are responsible for complying with the terms and conditions of the applicable provider of the wallet you use and connect with the Marketplace. SYKY does not operate or maintain any digital-asset wallets and is not affiliated with parties who do. We do not have custody or control over the contents of your Wallet and we have no ability access or retrieve its contents. We do not take responsibility for the operation of your wallet or whether your wallet will interact with the Marketplace as expected or in the manner you intend.
c. With respect to secondary sale transactions, SYKY operates the Marketplace solely as an interface to facilitate transactions between Buyers and Sellers. SYKY does not itself buy, sell or take custody or possession of NFTs in any secondary sale, nor does it act as an agent or custodian for any user of the Marketplace. If you elect to buy or sell any NFTs, any transactions that you engage in will be conducted solely through the relevant blockchain network governing such NFT. We will have no insight into or control over these transactions, nor do we have the 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 as a result of any secondary sale transactions that you engage in via the Marketplace.
5. License to any Associated Materials.
Holding a given NFT may grant the holder license rights with respect to any digital artwork, models, software or other materials directly associated with such NFT (with respect to a given NFT, such artwork is referred to as “Associated Materials”). Associated Materials are separate from the corresponding NFT. Purchase of an NFT does not assign or transfer ownership of the Associated Materials to the NFT Purchaser. Any rights with respect to the Associated Materials shall be licensed to the Purchaser solely as set forth in Section 6 below.
6. Grant of Rights.
a. With respect to SYKY NFTs: Unless otherwise expressly agreed to between a Purchaser and Seller of the applicable NFT, the Purchaser of the NFT will (for so long as they continue to hold the NFT) have a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, worldwide license with respect to the Associated Materials directly and identifiably associated with, applicable and specific to such NFT solely to display, perform and distribute such Associated Materials for non-commercial, personal use, including within audiovisual media (e.g., displaying such Associated Materials on a platform or service, including online games or online environment(s) that may be commonly known as “metaverse(s)”, for personal, non-commercial purposes), in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
b. With respect to 3rd Party NFTs, the terms and conditions that apply to any Associated Materials will be set by the sellers and/or creators of the relevant NFT. These terms may be contained in a link included in the Marketplace listing for the NFT or embedded in the NFT metadata (“3rd Party NFT Terms’). SYKY does not set 3rd Party NFT Terms and is not party to any such terms. The Purchaser and Seller (and if applicable the creator of the relevant NFT) are entirely responsible for communicating, informing themselves of, agreeing to, and enforcing any such terms. As a Purchaser or Seller, you are responsible for reviewing such 3rd Party NFT Terms before engaging in any transaction involving 3rd Party NFTs.
c. Each Seller represents and warrants that (i) it has the full power and authority to grant the foregoing rights; (ii) it has not entered into, and shall not enter into, any agreement, engagement, or other commitment that would interfere or conflict with the rights granted in these Marketplace Terms; (iii) its agreement to and performance under these Marketplace Terms will not violate the contractual, intellectual property, or proprietary rights (including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, and rights of publicity and privacy) of any third party; and (iv) it will not knowingly do or permit to be done any act that will, in whole or in part, materially deprive an owner of an applicable NFT of its rights, privileges and benefits arising under or by reason of the Marketplace Terms and/or 3rd Party NFTs.
7. Ownership and Limitations.
Except as specifically set forth in Section 6 above, a Purchaser does have any right, title or interest in or to any Associated Materials and will not be deemed to be granted any rights, whether express or implied, with respect to any Associated Materials or any derivative works thereof.
a. create, sell or attempt to create or sell fractionalized interests in any NFT and/or any Associated Materials associated therewith;
b. separate, unlink or decouple any Associated Materials from the NFT(s) with which it is associated;
c. use any Associated Materials to create, sell or attempt to create or sell any new cryptographic token (e.g., any additional NFT(s));
d. reverse-engineer, decompile or otherwise attempt to discover the source code for any NFT or Associated Materials;
e. use any Associated Materials to produce, manufacture, promote, market or offer any physical or digital product or service;
f. transacting in securities, commodities futures, options, real estate interests or leases, leveraged or margined assets, debt instruments, or other financial instruments or other similar transactions;
g. transacting in any other assets that entitle owners to financial rewards, including but not limited to yield payouts, staking bonuses, or burn proceeds;
h. placing false, deceptive or misleading bids or offer, ‘wash trading’ or otherwise attempting to manipulate the market for any asset;
i. using the Marketplace to offer, promote, sell, purchase or solicit personal services;
j. using the Marketplace to raise financial or capital for any business, enterprise, investment fund, development project, DAO, or other organization, entity or collective;
l. use any NFT or Associated Materials in connection with any illegal product or service or any other use in violation of applicable law or any product, service, content, material or speech that is defamatory, obscene, pornographic, indecent, abusive, offensive, harassing, violent, hateful, racist, discriminatory, inflammatory or otherwise objectionable or inappropriate, as determined by SYKY or the applicable Seller(s) in its/their sole discretion; and/or
m. use any Associated Materials and/or exercise any license rights in any manner not expressly authorized herein.
For avoidance of doubt, you have no right to, and you will not, and you will not authorize, permit or assist any third party to, use any name, trademark, logo, branding or other intellectual property of SYKY or any affiliate, commercial partner or licensor of SYKY for any purpose not specifically set forth herein, or otherwise do or say anything to indicate or imply that SYKY or any of its affiliates sponsors, promotes or endorses any product, service or media or provides any representations or warranties with respect to any product, service or media.
Also for the avoidance of doubt, if at any time you transfer an NFT to a third party, any rights granted to you hereunder with respect to the Associated Materials associated therewith shall immediately terminate (without the requirement of notice) with no outstanding or ongoing obligation or liability to you.
8. Blockchain Forks.
a. You acknowledge and agree that each SYKY NFT sold through the Marketplace shall be created and subsequently held on the version of the Ethereum digital blockchain ledger and network that is recognized by the nodes or validators of such network as canonical as of the time of such sale (the “Designated Blockchain”); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Designated Blockchain does not refer to any Persistent Forks (as defined below), any digital blockchain ledgers which are not operating in a production environment or blockchains which are referred to as a “testnet”. As used herein, a “Persistent Fork” means a digital blockchain ledger and network generally recognized in the blockchain industry as the mainnet and consensus blockchain of a persistent “contentious hardfork” from the Designated Blockchain, which such hardfork has or would reasonably be expected to have material value independent from the Designated Blockchain.
b. In the event of a Persistent Fork that creates a copy(ies) of any NFT at the same addresses at which it was then held on the Designated Blockchain, the scope of the term “you” under these Marketplace Terms, and all licenses granted to and other rights of you under these Marketplace Terms, shall be deemed expanded to include each person who lawfully holds exclusive title to and ownership of the copy(ies) of the applicable NFT(s) that are included on the Persistent Fork. You hereby acknowledge and agree that, as a result of the preceding sentence, in the event of a Persistent Fork, the aggregate number of the NFTs may be increased and/or unlimited minting of such NFT may be permitted, which could have an adverse effect on the value of each NFT and/or the aggregate value of the total NFTs.
9. Assumption of Risk.
You acknowledge that any and all NFT(s) and/or Associated Materials is/are made available solely for entertainment purposes and not as an investment instrument of any kind. Accordingly, you acknowledge and agree that as a Purchaser you assume the following risks:
a. to the extent there is a secondary market and/or price for any NFT, such markets and/or prices are extremely volatile, and variations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of any digital asset(s) you own, such NFT, and as such there is no guarantee that such NFT will have or retain any value;
b. risks associated with digital assets (e.g., NFTs) including, but not limited to, (i) hardware, software and/or Internet failures, (ii) the loss of access to NFT(s) due to, e.g., loss of so-called “private key(s)” or third-party custodial error, (iii) malicious software introduction (e.g., hacking or cyber-attacks), and/or (iv) that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information stored within your so-called “digital wallet” or elsewhere (e.g., fraud);
c. upgrades, so-called “hard forks,” failures, cessations or other changes to the blockchain(s) underlying the NFTs that may affect your access to and/or use of any NFT or Associated Materials;
d. risks associated with third-party software providers, marketplaces and/or other actors that may be associated with any NFTs or Associated Materials, including with respect to the continued availability of such third party services and/or the protection and/or storage of any digital assets or other data that may be stored or hosted by such third party;
e. the risk of changes to the regulatory and/or policy regime(s) governing blockchain technologies (e.g., NFTs) which may adversely affect your access to and/or use of any NFT or Associated Materials;
f. risks associated with transaction(s) between you and any third party(ies) (e.g., your transfer of an NFT to any such third party).
With respect to 3rd Party NFTs, you are fully responsible for verifying the authenticity and legitimacy of any asset you choose to purchase on the Marketplace. SYKY does not evaluate or verify any claims made by Sellers of 3rd Party NFTs with respect to the assets they offer for sale on the Marketplace.
In addition to assuming all of the above risks, as a Purchaser you acknowledge that you have obtained sufficient information to make informed decision(s) with respect to any NFT (including, without limitation, the acquisition thereof and/or your entering into these Marketplace Terms) and that you understand and agree that you are solely responsible for determining the nature, suitability and appropriateness of these risks for yourself.
10. Indemnification.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless SYKY, each applicable Seller or Purchaser with who you transact and each of their respective commercial partners and licensors, and each of their respective past, present and future employees, officers, directors, contractors, consultants, equity holders, suppliers, vendors, service providers, parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, 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 of every kind and nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses), whether known or unknown, that are caused by, arise out of or are related to (a) your ownership, use or misuse of any NFT and/or Associated Materials; (b) your breach or violation of these Marketplace Terms; and/or (c) your breach or violation of any right(s) of any third party (collectively, “Claims”). You agree to promptly notify SYKY of any Claim(s) and shall cooperate fully with the Indemnified Parties in defending such Claims. You further agree that the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, shall have control of the defense or settlement of any third party Claims. THIS INDEMNITY IS IN ADDITION TO, AND NOT IN LIEU OF, ANY OTHER INDEMNITIES SET FORTH IN ANY WRITTEN AGREEMENT(S) BETWEEN YOU. ON THE ONE HAND, AND SYKY AND/OR ANY APPLICABLE PURCHASER OR SELLER, ON THE OTHER HAND.

The parties thereto shall endeavor to agree upon the arbitrator, and if they fail to do so within twenty-one (21) days of the commencement of the arbitration, the appointment shall be made by the AAA in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules. The place, or legal seat of arbitration, shall be New York City, New York, and the language of the arbitration shall be English.
b. You may only bring claims in your individual capacity on your own behalf, and not in any representative capacity or on behalf of any class or purported class, and no arbitration you commence hereunder may be joined with or include any claims by any other persons. Each party shall be exclusively responsible for paying its own arbitration filing fees, which may later be allocated by the arbitrator as set forth below.
c. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned award and, subject to the limitation of liability set forth above, shall have the power to grant any interim or provisional measures that the arbitrator deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, injunctive relief and specific performance, and any interim or provisional measures ordered by the arbitrator may be specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction as a final award.

The parties each retain the right to seek interim measures from a judicial authority, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with the agreement to arbitrate or a waiver of the right to arbitrate. The arbitrator shall award the prevailing party, if any as determined by the arbitrator, its reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees. Judgment on any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Any documentary or other evidence given by any party or witness in any arbitration shall be treated as confidential by any party whose access to such evidence arises exclusively because of its participation in the arbitration and shall not be disclosed to any third party (other than a witness or expert), except as may be required by law. Any party who commences any judicial proceeding in connection with an arbitration initiated hereunder shall endeavor to have the judicial record of any such proceeding sealed to the extent permitted by law.
d. YOU AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE MARKETPLACE TERMS AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIP(S) CONTEMPLATED HEREIN MUST BE BROUGHT WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM AROSE; OTHERWISE, YOUR CLAIM WILL BE PERMANENTLY BARRED.
14. Remedies.
In addition to any other rights and remedies to which SYKY and/or the applicable Seller(s) may be entitled under contract, at law or in equity, in the event that you breach these Marketplace Terms at any time, your right to copy, display, perform and/or distribute the Associated Materials and any and all other license rights that you may have under these Marketplace Terms will immediately terminate without any requirement of notice and with no outstanding or ongoing obligation or liability to you. Upon any termination of your license rights hereunder, you will immediately cease all use of any Associated Materials. SYKY and/or the applicable Seller(s) may, if and as applicable, disable digital-wallet and/or similar functionality(ies) with respect to the Marketplace and/or the affected Associated Materials, prohibit any platform or service from retrieving or rendering any such Associated Materials in connection with the services they provide and/or take any other steps to prevent unauthorized use of any Associated Materials. SYKY and the applicable Seller(s) will have no obligation or liability to you for any such actions and you will not interfere with, or seek to prevent, any such actions.
15. Miscellaneous.
These Marketplace Terms do not, and may not be construed to, create any partnership, joint venture or agency relationship between or among you, SYKY and/or any Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, you acknowledge and agree that in no event shall SYKY be deemed hereunder to be party to any agreement or arrangement by and between you and any seller, holder, purchaser and/or acquirer of any NFT that is not SYKY. These Marketplace Terms (including any Exhibits hereto) may be amended and/or modified by SYKY, in its sole discretion, at any time without notice to you. Such amendments and/or modifications shall be effective upon posting. By continuing to access or use the Marketplace and/or own any NFT made available on the Marketplace, you will be deemed to have accepted such amendments and/or modifications. You are advised to regularly review these Marketplace Terms. If any term, clause or provision of these Marketplace Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, then that term, clause or provision will be severable from these Marketplace 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 Marketplace Terms. If SYKY fails to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Marketplace Terms, or if SYKY does not enforce its rights against you, or if it delays in doing so, that will not mean that SYKY has waived its rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If SYKY does waive a default by you, it will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that it will automatically waive any later default by you. These Marketplace Terms are personal to you, and are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with SYKY’s prior written consent, unless otherwise specifically set forth herein. All notices under these Marketplace Terms will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or e-mail; or the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized.
