Third-Party Activities and Content. References, links or referrals to or connections with or reliance on third-party resources, products, services or content, including smart contracts developed or operated by third parties, may be provided to you in connection with the Portal Platform. In addition, third parties may offer promotions related to the Portal Platform. The Company does not endorse or assume any responsibility for any activities of or resources, products, services, content or promotions owned, controlled, operated or sponsored by third parties. If you access any such resources, products, services or content or participate in any such promotions, you do so solely at your own risk. You hereby expressly waive and release the Company from all liability arising from your use of any such resources, products, services or content or participation in any such promotions. You further acknowledge and agree that the Company shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such resources, products, services, content or promotions from third parties.
Certain Uses and Risks of Blockchain Technology.
(a) Use of Blockchain Technology. The Company utilizes experimental cryptographic technologies and blockchain technologies, including tokens, cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, “smart contracts,” consensus algorithms, voting systems and distributed, decentralized or peer-to-peer networks or systems for the activities on the Portal Platform. You acknowledge and agree that such technologies are novel, experimental, and speculative, and that therefore there is significant uncertainty regarding the operation and effects and risks thereof and the application of existing law thereto.
(b) Certain Risks of Blockchain Technology. The technology utilized in Portal depends on public peer-to-peer networks such as Ethereum that are not under the control or influence of the Company and are subject to many risks and uncertainties. Such technologies include the Portal Platform, which the Company may have limited or no ability to change, other than ceasing to support certain “smart contracts” and adding support for new “smart contracts”. You are solely responsible for the safekeeping of the private key associated with the blockchain address used to participate in the activities on the Portal Platform. The Company will not be able to restore or issue any refund in respect of any [NFT] due to lost private keys. If you are not able to spend or use a [NFT] due to loss or theft of the corresponding private key or otherwise, you will be unable to exercise your rights with respect to such [NFT].
(c) Certain Risks of Smart Contract Technology. [NFT] and other digital assets relevant to the Portal Platform depend on the Portal System, Decentraland, or other smart contracts deployed to Ethereum, some of which may be coded or deployed by persons other than the Company. Once deployed to Ethereum, the code of smart contracts, including the Portal System, cannot be modified. In the event that the Portal System or other smart contracts are adversely affected by malfunctions, bugs, defects, malfunctions, hacking, theft, attacks, negligent coding or design choices, or changes to the protocol rules of Ethereum, you may be exposed to a risk of total loss and forfeiture of all [NFT] and other relevant digital assets. The Company assumes no liability or responsibility for any of the foregoing matters, except as otherwise expressly provided by these Terms or required by applicable law.
(d) Asset Prices. The fiat-denominated prices and value in public markets of assets such as ETH and NFTs have historically been subject to dramatic fluctuations and are highly volatile. As relatively new products and technologies, blockchain-based assets are not widely accepted as a means of payment for goods and services. A significant portion of demand for these assets is generated by speculators and investors seeking to profit from the short- or long-term holding of blockchain assets. The market value of any ETH, and NFT may decline below the price for which you acquire such asset through the Portal Platform or on any other platform. You acknowledge and agree that the costs and speeds of transacting with cryptographic and blockchain-based systems such as Ethereum are variable and may increase or decrease dramatically at any time, resulting in prolonged inability to access or use any ETHs, NFTs, or other digital assets associated with the Portal Platform.
(e) Regulatory Uncertainty. Blockchain technologies and digital assets are subject to many legal and regulatory uncertainties, and the Portal Platform and NFTs could be adversely impacted by one or more regulatory or legal inquiries, actions, suits, investigations, claims, fines or judgments, which could impede or limit the ability of you to continue the use and enjoyment of such assets and technologies.
(f) Cryptography Risks. Cryptography is a progressing field. Advances in code cracking or technical advances such as the development of quantum computers may present risks to Ethereum, the Portal Platform and NFTs, including the theft, loss or inaccessibility thereof.
(g) Fork Handling. Ethereum, the Portal System, and the NFTs may be subject to “forks.” Forks occur when some or all persons running the software clients for a particular blockchain system adopt a new client or a new version of an existing client that: (i) changes the protocol rules in backwards-compatible or backwards-incompatible manner that affects which transactions can be added into later blocks, how later blocks are added to the blockchain, or other matters relating to the future operation of the protocol; or (ii) reorganizes or changes past blocks to alter the history of the blockchain. Some forks are “contentious” and thus may result in two or more persistent alternative versions of the protocol or blockchain, either of which may be viewed as or claimed to be the legitimate or genuine continuation of the original. The Company may not be able to anticipate, control or influence the occurrence or outcome of forks, and does not assume any risk, liability or obligation in connection therewith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company does not assume any responsibility to notify you of pending, threatened or completed forks. The Company will respond to any forks as the Company determines in its sole and absolute discretion, and the Company shall not have any duty or obligation or liability to you if such response (or lack of such response) acts to a user detriment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company’s possible and permissible responses to a fork may include: (i) honoring the Portal System, and NFTs on both chains; (ii) honoring the Portal System and NFTs on only one of the chains; (iii) honoring the Portal System and NFTs in different respects or to a different extent on both chains; or (iv) any other response or policy or procedure, as determined by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion. You assume full responsibility to independently remain apprised of and informed about possible forks, and to manage your own interests in connection therewith.
(h) Essential Third-Party Software Dependencies.
The Company neither owns nor controls Decentraland, MetaMask, Ledger Wallet, Google Chrome, the Ethereum network, any Web3 Provider or any other third party site, product, or service that you might access, visit, or use for the purpose of enabling you to use the various features of the Portal Platform. The Company shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any such third parties, nor shall the Company be liable for any damage that you may suffer as a result of your transactions or any other interaction with any such third parties.
Legal Limitations on Disclaimers. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of certain liabilities and damages. Accordingly, some of the disclaimers and limitations set forth in these Terms may not apply in full to specific users. The disclaimers and limitations of liability provided in these terms shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
Officers, Directors, Etc. All provisions of these Terms which disclaim or limit obligations or liabilities of the Company shall also apply, mutatis mutandis, to the officers, directors, members, employees, independent contractors, agents, stockholders, debtholders and affiliates of the Company.
Indemnification. You shall defend, indemnify, compensate, reimburse and hold harmless the Company (and each of its officers, directors, members, employees, agents and affiliates) from any claim, demand, action, damage, loss, cost or expense, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out or relating to (a) you misuse of, or conduct in connection with, the Portal Platform operations; (b) your violation of these Terms or any other applicable policy or contract of the Company; or (c) your violation of any rights of any other person or entity.
7. GOVERNING LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
7.1 Governing law. These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales, as to all matters, including matters of validity, construction, effect, enforceability, performance and remedies. Although the activities on the Portal Platform may be available in other jurisdictions, you hereby acknowledge and agree that such availability shall not be deemed to give rise to general or specific personal jurisdiction over the Company in any forum outside England and Wales.
7.2 Agreement to Binding, Exclusive Arbitration.
(a) We will use our best efforts to resolve through informal, good faith negotiations any dispute, claim or controversy relating to this Agreement or relating to the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of the arbitration agreement in clause 7.2(d) (hereinafter “Dispute”).

(b) If a potential Dispute arises, you must contact us by sending an email to
support@bosonportal.io so that we can attempt to resolve it without resorting to formal dispute resolution.
(c) If we are not able to reach an informal resolution within 60 days of your email, then you and we may bring proceedings either in binding arbitration, if clause 7.2(d) applies to you, or in the courts of England and Wales, if clause 7.2(d) does not apply to you.
(d) IF YOU ARE RESIDING IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (“USA”), THIS CLAUSE 7.2(d) REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE ALL DISPUTES WITH US AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.
