This Terms and Conditions (“T&C”) constitute a legally binding agreement made between the user (“you”), whether personally or on behalf of an entity and GuacBlocks LLC, which is domiciled in Delaware, United States (hereafter referred to as “GB”, “we”, or “us”) concerning your access to and use of the www.ethlings.com website and the smart-contract based Ethlings application (“App” or “Application”) as well as any other media form, media channel, mobile website or mobile application, smart contracts related, linked, or otherwise connected thereto (the “website”, Site” and the “App”).
Ethlings is a distributed application that runs on the Ethereum and Polygon networks, using uniquely coded smart contracts (each, a “Smart Contract”) that allow users to acquire, buy and sell own and transfer, the digital characters known as Ethlings along with items they can wear (together, hereafter “Ethlings”, and each represented by a non-fungible token, “NFT”) located at ethlings.com (the “Site”). In addition, each NFT accumulates a utility token (“Ethlings Token”, or “ET”), which serves only one purpose: to alter the customizability of Ethlings. There are no other functionalities of the ET token. The ET utility token cannot be purchased, but it can be freely accumulated by holding an NFT. The Company does not provide or intend to provide a secondary market place for the NFTs or ET.
The Smart Contracts and the Site are collectively referred to in these T&C as the “App”. Using the App, users can view their Ethlings, and use the Smart Contracts to acquire, buy, sell, own, trade and transfer Ethlings on the Ethereum and Polygon networks.
GB is the party making the App available for you to use. Before using the App, the Smart Contracts, or the Site, you must agree to this T&C and any other terms and conditions incorporated or referenced herein (the T&C and any other terms and conditions incorporated or referenced herein are collectively referred to as the “Terms”). PLEASE READ THIS T&C CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, OR THE SITE. THIS T&C GOVERN YOUR USE OF THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, AND THE SITE, UNLESS GB HAS AGREED TO DIFFERENT WRITTEN AGREEMENT WITH YOU TO THE CONTRARY, SIGNED BY BOTH PARTIES. GB IS ONLY WILLING TO MAKE THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, AND THE SITE AVAILABLE TO YOU IF YOU ACCEPT ALL OF THIS T&C. BY USING THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, THE SITE, OR ANY PART THEREOF, YOU ARE CONFIRMING THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE TERMS CONTAINED HEREIN. IF YOU ARE ACCEPTING THIS T&C ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO ACCEPT THIS T&C ON THAT ENTITY’S BEHALF, IN WHICH CASE “YOU” WILL MEAN THAT COMPANY OR LEGAL ENTITY. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, OR IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT ALL OF THIS T&C, THEN WE ARE NOT WILLING TO MAKE THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, OR THE SITE AVAILABLE TO YOU. IF YOU DO NOT FULLY AGREE TO THIS T&C, YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO ACCESS OR USE THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, OR THE SITE.
ALL TRANSACTIONS INITIATED THROUGH THE APP ARE FACILITATED AND RUN BY THIRD-PARTY ELECTRONIC WALLETS ON THE POLYGON AND/OR ETHEREUM BLOCKCHAINS, AND BY USING THE APP YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE GOVERNED BY THE TERMS OF SERVICE AND PRIVACY POLICY FOR THOSE APPLICABLE WALLETS. WE ARE NOT A BROKER, FINANCIAL INSTITUTION, OR CREDITOR. THE APP IS AN ADMINISTRATIVE PLATFORM ONLY. WE FACILITATE TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN THE BUYER AND SELLER BUT ARE NOT A PARTY TO ANY AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE BUYER AND SELLER (UNLESS WE ARE THE SELLER). YOU BEAR FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR VERIFYING THE IDENTITY, LEGITIMACY, AND AUTHENTICITY OF ANY ASSETS YOU PURCHASE.

If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account, contact us immediately. (e) The App may show certain pricing data that has been loaded and collected from the Ethereum or Polygon blockchains. We are not liable for any incorrect information or typographical errors of any kind, including any incorrect information that is due to a coding error, blockchain code errors or due to a data outage. It is your duty and obligation to confirm any and all pricing data on your own and base any decisions you make on your own information and data. (f) Any calculations that are displayed on the App are for information purposes only. These calculations are in no way predictions of value and you agree that you will not construe these calculations as predictions of future prices or values in any way or that we are giving you any advice on what to purchase or not to purchase. All such decisions are made in your sole discretion without reliance on any information provided on the App. (g) We are not responsible or liable for any transactions that are cancelled by a seller.
2. THE ETHLINGS. (a) Number of Ethlings. There will be a total of 7,777 Ethlings initially minted. (b) Purchasing Ethlings.

All sales are final and we do not guarantee that all interested buyers will be able to purchase a Ethling before they are sold out. We disclaim all liability in connection with the purchase of any Ethlings. It is your responsibility to ensure that your purchase of any Ethlings has been completed. We reserve the right to terminate or end the initial sale of Ethlings at any time.

Examples of such Commercial Use would e.g. be the use of the art to produce and sell merchandise products (T-Shirts etc.) displaying copies of the art. For the sake of clarity, nothing in this Section will be deemed to restrict you from earning revenue from Commercial Use. Furthermore, you may only engage in Commercial while you are the owner of the NFT.
(d) Other Terms of License. The license granted in Section 3.C above applies only to the extent that you continue to own the applicable purchased Ethling or Ethlings Wearable. If at any time you sell, trade, donate, give away, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the NFT for any reason, the license granted in Section 3.C will immediately expire with respect to you and that NFT without requiring notice, and you will have no further rights in or to the art for that NFT.
