HorseVerse is a blockchain-based NFT collectible horse racing game deployed on the BNB Smart Chain (formerly Binance Smart Chain). The platform allows users to collect, trade, breed, and race digital horse NFTs within a gamified entertainment ecosystem. All interactions with the platform, including but not limited to the website, smart contracts, marketplace, and related services (collectively, the "Service"), are governed by these Terms.

4. Nature of NFTs

HorseVerse NFTs are digital collectibles designed for entertainment purposes within the HorseVerse gaming ecosystem. Each NFT represents a unique digital horse with distinct attributes, traits, and characteristics stored on the BNB Smart Chain.

HorseVerse NFTs are NOT securities, investment contracts, financial instruments, money, currency, or any form of regulated financial product. They are digital collectible items intended solely for use within the HorseVerse game and entertainment ecosystem.

There is no guarantee, representation, or warranty that any HorseVerse NFT will retain its value, appreciate in value, or have any monetary value whatsoever. The price of NFTs on secondary markets is determined entirely by market participants and is subject to extreme volatility.

You acknowledge and agree that you are acquiring HorseVerse NFTs solely for entertainment and collectible purposes, and not as an investment or with any expectation of profit.

5. No Investment Advice

Nothing contained in the Service, on our website, in our documentation, or in any communications from the Company constitutes investment advice, financial advice, trading advice, legal advice, or any other form of professional advice. You should not treat any of the content provided through the Service as such.

The Company makes no promises, guarantees, or representations regarding the future value of any HorseVerse NFT, the HorseVerse token, or any other digital asset associated with the platform. Past performance of any digital asset is not indicative of future results.

You are solely responsible for conducting your own research and due diligence before acquiring any NFTs or digital assets. We strongly recommend consulting with qualified financial, legal, and tax professionals before making any decisions related to digital assets.

6. Risks

By using the Service, you acknowledge and accept the following risks, which are not exhaustive:

• Value Risk: The value of HorseVerse NFTs may decline to zero. You may lose the entirety of the amount you paid to acquire an NFT, and there is no guarantee of any return.
• Blockchain Risk: The BNB Smart Chain, like all blockchain networks, may experience congestion, downtime, forks, or other disruptions that may affect your ability to access, transfer, or use your NFTs.
• Smart Contract Risk: HorseVerse smart contracts are deployed on-chain and may contain bugs, vulnerabilities, or errors despite auditing efforts. Once deployed, smart contracts may be immutable or difficult to modify. Exploits or failures in smart contracts could result in the permanent loss of your NFTs or other digital assets.
• Regulatory Risk: The legal and regulatory landscape for NFTs, digital assets, and cryptocurrencies is evolving and uncertain. Changes in law or regulation in any jurisdiction may adversely affect the Service, the use of NFTs, or their value.
• Technology Risk: Loss of private keys, wallet compromise, phishing attacks, or other security incidents may result in the irreversible loss of your NFTs and other digital assets. The Company is not responsible for securing your wallet or private keys.
• Market Risk: The NFT and cryptocurrency markets are highly speculative and volatile. Liquidity is not guaranteed, and you may be unable to sell or transfer your NFTs at any price.

7. Intellectual Property

All intellectual property rights in and to the Service, including but not limited to the HorseVerse brand, logo, website design, game mechanics, software code, artwork, animations, sounds, and all other creative content ("Company IP"), are and shall remain the exclusive property of the Company or its licensors.

Ownership of a HorseVerse NFT does not grant you ownership of the underlying artwork, intellectual property, or any rights beyond those expressly stated herein. When you purchase a HorseVerse NFT, you receive ownership of the token on the blockchain and a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except with the NFT), revocable license to display the associated artwork for personal, non-commercial purposes.

You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, or commercially exploit the Company IP or associated NFT artwork without the prior written consent of the Company. Any unauthorized use of the Company IP may result in termination of your license and legal action.

8. User Responsibilities

As a user of the Service, you are solely responsible for:

• Tax Compliance: Determining and fulfilling any tax obligations arising from your acquisition, ownership, transfer, or sale of HorseVerse NFTs and any other digital assets. This includes, but is not limited to, income tax, capital gains tax, value-added tax, and any other applicable taxes in your jurisdiction.
• Legal Compliance: Ensuring that your use of the Service complies with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations, including but not limited to anti-money laundering (AML) laws, counter-terrorism financing (CTF) regulations, and sanctions laws.

The Company shall not be liable for any losses, damages, or penalties arising from your failure to comply with the responsibilities outlined in this section.

9. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall the Company's total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid directly to the Company (excluding amounts paid to third parties or on secondary markets) in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred US dollars (USD $100).

The Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities. In such jurisdictions, the Company's liability shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

10. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Seychelles, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach, termination, or invalidity thereof, shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of a mutually agreed-upon arbitration body. The seat of arbitration shall be Seychelles. The language of arbitration shall be English. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. You agree to waive any right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.
