We have not made, and do not make, any promises (whether explicit, implied or otherwise) as to the value of any Collectible, including whether the value of the Collectible will increase or decrease in the future. The price of collectible assets can be volatile and subjective, and we cannot guarantee that any Collectibles purchased will retain any value, which may depend on a number of inherently subjective factors beyond our control, including the desirability of a particular Collectible; and
    5. will not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of other Users (including where another User has attempted to defraud You, doesn't have the right to sell a Collectible to You, or fails to complete a transaction.)
    6. We may but will not be required to intervene in a dispute between Users in connection with the VeVe Market. We may but will not be required to compel a User to complete or remedy any transaction on the VeVe Market.
  3. Where You list a Collectible for sale in the VeVe Market You accept that any sale of the Collectible will be final, and that You will not be able to cancel the sale or retain ownership in the Collectible. You enter into a legally binding contract to purchase a Collectible when You commit to buy a Collectible at the Price, your offer for a Collectible is accepted by the seller for a Price or if You have the winning bid in an auction.
  4. Auctions:
    1. You must only place a bid on an auction if You intend to buy the Collectible at a Price. You cannot revoke a bid once it is placed.
    2. Where a Collectible is sold by auction and You place the winning bid, You will be obliged to complete the purchase of the Collectible at the Price and You will not be able to cancel your offer or negotiate a different Price once your bid has been lodged.
    3. You agree not to engage in any shill bidding (i.e. placing, or organizing someone to place, fake bids to manipulate price, desirability or the search position of your listing).
    4. Where we reasonably believe that You have engaged in shill bidding or You have placed inflated bids that disrupt an auction or You have placed the winning bid in an auction and do not complete the purchase, we may restrict your access to the VeVe Market (or in the case of serious or multiple offences, also in relation to other Services (at our sole discretion)).
  5. Prices specified on the VeVe Market are set by the User offering the Collectible for sale. We do not make any warranty or representation that Prices set by Users of the VeVe Market are reasonable or reflect the value of a Collectible. We will not provide any refunds or reimbursements for any reason.

    10. We may go out of business, declare bankruptcy or cease operations, thereby decreasing the use or value of the Collectible;

Crafting activities will vary but by way of example may include that if You collect certain Collectibles and choose to craft them, You will receive a new Collectible in the place of an existing Collectible which becomes a Burnt Token and no longer exists. The criteria for and outcome of each individual crafting exercise will be notified to You in conjunction with the crafting activity being made available in the App. Please ensure You read, understand, and acknowledge this information before completing the crafting as the outcome may include permanent changes to your Collectibles such as one or more of your Collectibles (including the Token) becoming a Burnt Token and no longer existing.

DMCA Notice and Procedure for Copyright Infringement Claims

  1. As we ask others to respect our intellectual property rights, we respect the intellectual property rights of others. We, in appropriate circumstances, may remove from the Services information that might infringe the intellectual property rights of others.
    1. Procedure for Reporting Copyright Infringements
      If You believe your work has been used or copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and such infringement is occurring on the VeVe Services, You may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") by providing our Designated Agent with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C 512(c)(3) for further detail):
      • An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright's interest;
      • A description of the copyrighted work that You claim has been infringed, including the URL (i.e., web page address) of the location where the copyrighted work exists or a copy of the copyrighted work;
      • Identification of the URL or other specific location on the VeVe Services where the material that You claim is infringing is located; your address, telephone number, and E-mail address;
      • A statement by You that You have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
      • A statement by You, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that You are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.
      You acknowledge that if You fail to comply with all of the requirements of this section, your DMCA notice may not be valid and we will have no obligation to respond or acknowledge receipt of your notice. Please note that You will be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) if You misrepresent or make bad faith claims that any material on the VeVe Services infringes your copyrights. You can contact our Designated Agent via e-mail at vevelegal@veve.me.

      THE DESIGNATED AGENT SHOULD BE CONTACTED ONLY IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR WORK HAS BEEN USED OR COPIED IN A WAY THAT CONSTITUTES COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT AND SUCH INFRINGEMENT IS OCCURRING ON THE VEVE SERVICES. ALL OTHER INQUIRIES DIRECTED TO THE DESIGNATED AGENT WILL NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE.

  1. Receipt of Proper Infringement Notification
    Once a proper bona fide infringement notification has been received by the Designated Agent, it is VeVe's policy:
    • To remove or disable access to the infringing content;
    • To notify the content provider, member, or user ("Content Provider") that it has removed or disabled access to the content; and
    • That repeat offenders will have the infringing content removed from the system and that we may terminate such Content Provider's access to the VeVe Services.
  2. Procedure to Supply a Counter-Notice to the Designated Agent
    If the Content Provider believes that the content that was removed or to which access was disabled is either not infringing or the Content Provider believes that it has the right to post and use such content, the Content Provider may send the Designated Agent a counter-notice, which must contain the following:
    • Content Provider's contact information, including full legal name (not that of a company) of the submitter, an email address, a physical address, and a phone number.
    • The location, including any URL, of the content that has been removed or disabled.
    • The following statement, to which Content Provider must agree: "I consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the district in which my address is located, or if my address is outside of the United States, the judicial district in which we are located, and will accept service of process from the claimant."
    • The following statement: "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled."
    • A physical or electronic signature. To satisfy this requirement, Content Provider may type the submitter's full legal name (not that of a company) at the bottom of your electronic counter-notification.
    If a counter-notice is received by the Designated Agent, we may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in ten business days.
    If we do not receive notice within ten business days that the original complaining party is seeking a court order to prevent further infringement of the content, we may replace or cease disabling access to the material that was removed. The decision to replace or cease disabling access to any content is at our sole discretion.
