• The SolaVerse platform terms of use and product terms of sale

    Modified on: June 1st, 2022.

    The SolaVerse operates the website https://thesolaverse.com/ (the "Website"), which allows users to engage and interact with The SolaVerse platform and to play the 'Operation Dawn' game which is available via the Website (the "Game", which together with The SolaVerse platform and the Website is the "Platform").

    1. Understanding these terms

      1. These terms and conditions ("Terms and Conditions") are divided into three parts:
        1. part 1: the terms of use ("Terms of Use"). These describe how you may: (i) access and use the Platform and the content on it, which includes playing and interacting with the Game; and (ii) interact with the Platform by (for example) submitting comments, images, videos or any other type of material. By using the Platform, you confirm that you accept the Terms of Use and that you agree to comply with them;
        2. part 2: the terms of sale ("Terms of Sale"). These set out the terms on which you may order the products available on the Platform ("Products"). The Terms of Sale will become binding on you when you submit an order for Products via the Platform and will be incorporated into the contract between you and us in relation to such order for Products ("Contract"); and
        3. part 3: general terms ("General Terms"). These set out certain terms and conditions that apply equally to your use of the Platform under the Terms of Use and any purchases that you make through the Platform under the Terms of Sale, including (for example) where you should direct any complaints and the law that governs these Terms and Conditions.
      2. When certain words and phrases are used in these Terms and Conditions, they have specific meanings (these are known as "defined terms"). You can identify these defined terms because they start with capital letters (even if they are not at the start of a sentence). Where a defined term is used, it has the meaning given to it in the section of these Terms and Conditions where it was defined (you can find these meanings by looking at the sentence where the defined term is included in brackets, speech marks, and bold type).
      3. In these Terms and Conditions, when we refer to "we", "us" or "our" or similar, we mean The SolaVerse; and when we refer to "you" or "your" or similar we mean:
        1. you, the person accessing or using the Platform; and
        2. where applicable, the business on whose behalf you are acting.
      4. Please note:
        1. if you are acting for purposes that are wholly or mainly outside your trade, business, craft or profession, you are acting as a consumer (a "Consumer"); and
        2. if you are acting for purposes relating to your trade, business, craft or profession, you are acting in the course of a business (a "Business User").
      5. If you are acting on behalf of your employer or another business when you access and use the Platform, you represent and warrant that:
        1. you have full legal authority to bind your employer or that business; and
        2. you agree to these Terms and Conditions on behalf of the business that you represent.
      6. Please note that: (i) the Platform uses cookies, the use of which are governed by our cookies policy; and (ii) we only use your personal information in accordance with our privacy notice. Our cookies policy and privacy notice are available here.

      10. Viruses

    8. PART 2: TERMS OF SALE

    9. Ordering Products

      1. In order to place an order for Products via the Platform (an "Order");
        1. if you are a Consumer, you must be at least 18 years old; and
        2. if you are a Business User, you must have full legal authority to place the Order and therefore bind the business that you represent to these Terms of Sale.
      2. In order to submit an Order where payment by cryptocurrency is permitted, you must ensure that you have a hosted cryptocurrency wallet which contains a sufficient amount of the relevant cryptocurrency in order to pay for the relevant Order. Whether paying by cryptocurrency or not, you must follow the procedure set out on the Platform to submit your Order.
      3. The order process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your Order. Please check your Order carefully before confirming it, as once your order is submitted, we will process it immediately. You are responsible for ensuring that your Order is complete and accurate. The Order process is only available in the English language and we will not file a copy of any contract formed between you and us.
      4. Your Order constitutes an offer to us. If you are a Registered User (or you otherwise provide your email address during the Order submission process), we will confirm our acceptance of your Order by sending you an email confirming the information you included in your Order (the "Confirmation Email"). In all other circumstances, your Order will be deemed accepted once you receive a transaction link verifying that the purchase has completed (the "Transaction Link"). These Terms of Sale, the General Terms and the Order will become legally binding on you and us when we send you the Confirmation Email or when you receive the Transaction Link (depending on which is applicable to your Order). Each Order shall incorporate the Terms of Sale and General Terms and shall be a new and separate Contract between you and us.
    10. Payment

      1. The prices for the Products are set out on the Platform and are inclusive of VAT. This will include information of any additional fees, including any transaction fees or 'gas fees'. Given the complex nature of gas fees, we are not able to calculate these fees in advance, however please refer to https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/gas/ for information on how gas fees are calculated.
      2. You shall pay for the Products using one of the payment methods set out in the Order process (the "Payment Methods"). If you pay for your Order using cryptocurrency, you confirm that the cryptocurrency wallet which is being used is yours, or that you have the authorisation of the account holder to use it. If you pay for your Order using fiat money (e.g., Pound Sterling) you confirm that the card or bank account which is being used is yours, or that you have the authorisation of the account holder to use it. If you use a Payment Method which you are not authorised to use, you will be liable to us for any losses that we suffer as a result of your use of that Payment Method.
      3. If your payment is not authorised, your Order will not be fulfilled.
    11. Products

      1. The Products that we sell include (without limitation):
        1. non-fungible tokens ("NFT(s)");
        2. $SOLA tokens ("SOLA Token(s)"); and
        3. physical products (such as merchandise) ("Physical Products").
      2. The images of the Products on the Platform are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device's display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the Products. Your Product may vary slightly from those images.
      3. The packaging of Physical Products may vary from that shown in images on the Platform. If we are making a Physical Product to measurements you have given us, you are responsible for ensuring that these measurements are correct.
      4. NFTs

      5. NFTs are digital assets which represent rights to an underlying 'tokenised' asset (often a digital asset, such as an image, video or other content) which is generated, stored and exchanged using blockchain technology. As each NFT (or NFT type) will have different properties, capabilities, rights and restrictions that attach to it, please note any additional terms and conditions that apply to that particular NFT, which will be detailed on the section of the Platform on which the applicable NFT is made available (the "NFT Section"). It is important that you read and understand any additional terms and conditions set out on the NFT Section of the applicable NFT prior to making a purchase ("Additional NFT Terms"). In the event of any conflict between these Terms and Conditions and the Additional NFT Terms, the Additional NFT Terms shall apply.
      6. IMPORTANT NOTICES - NFTs AND SOLA TOKENS

      7. Please note that NFTs and SOLA Tokens are a form of cryptoasset, and accordingly that:
        1. NFTs and SOLA Tokens (as with any other cryptoasset) are not currently regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and so do not benefit from the protection of the Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme;
        2. the value of NFTs and SOLA Tokens may go down as well as up, meaning that there is no guarantee that (if you look to sell an NFT or SOLA Token) you will make a profit on such sale or recoup the sums you have spent on such NFT or SOLA Token;
        3. any historic increase in value of an NFT or SOLA Token should not be seen as indicative of the future performance of such NFT or SOLA Token; and
        4. tax may be payable on any profits that you make on the sale of an NFT or SOLA Token (and in particular, capital gains tax).
      8. Delivery of Physical Products

      9. The costs of delivery of Physical Products will be displayed to you on the Platform.
      10. We will provide you with a delivery estimate for Physical Products during the Order process, and will confirm such delivery estimate in the Confirmation Email.
      11. If our supply of Physical Products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay.
      12. If no one is available at your address to take delivery of the Physical Product, we will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery or collect the Physical Product from a local depot.
      13. A Physical Product will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the Physical Product to the address you gave us.
      14. You own a Physical Product once we have received payment in full.
      15. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Physical Products may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your Order so that, where a Physical Product's correct price at the time of your Order is less than our stated price at that time, we will charge the lower amount. If the Physical Product's correct price at the time of your Order is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your Order. If we accept and process your Order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the Contract and refund you any sums you have paid.
    12. Cancellation rights and refunds

        NFTs and SOLA Tokens

      1. If you are a Consumer, you have a right to cancel an Order for NFTs or SOLA Tokens under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Charges) Regulations 2013 (“CCRs”). However, by submitting an Order for an NFT or SOLA Token you acknowledge and agree that by purchasing such NFT or SOLA Token you are requesting that we provide such NFT or SOLA Token to you immediately, that you will receive the benefit of such product immediately, and that in doing so you will waive your right to cancel such Order.
      2. Please note that we cannot provide any refunds for any Orders for NFTs or SOLA Tokens whether you are a Consumer or a Business User.
      3. Physical Products

      4. If you are a Consumer, you have a right to cancel an Order for Physical Products under the CCRs. This right is explained in more detail below.
      5. The cancellation period for Physical Products will expire 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third-party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the Physical Products. You may cancel the Contract in respect of all Physical Products delivered or in respect of certain of the Physical Products only. Where you order multiple Physical Products in one order or a Physical Product is delivered in separate parts, lots or pieces, the cancellation period will expire 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third-party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last Physical Product, part, lot or piece that makes up your Order.
      6. To exercise the right to cancel in respect of a Physical Product, you must inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract with us by making a clear statement. The easiest way to do this is to contact us via email on [email protected].
      7. To meet the cancellation deadline for a Physical Product, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning the exercise of your right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.
      8. We will send you an acknowledgement of receipt of your notice to cancel an Order for a Physical Product by email.
      9. If you cancel the Contract with us for a Physical Product, we will reimburse you with all payments received from you in respect of your Order, including the cost of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us and for any deductions permitted under clause 10.11 ).
      10. We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than:
        1. 14 days after the day we receive back from you any Physical Products supplied;
        2. (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the Physical Products; or
        3. if there were no Physical Products supplied, 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this Contract.
      11. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the Physical Products back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the Physical Products, whichever is the earliest.
      12. We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any Physical Products supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you. You are only liable for any diminished value of the Physical Products resulting from the unfair and/or unreasonable wear and tear of the Physical Products other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Physical Products. We may make a deduction from any reimbursement that you are entitled to from us for such loss in value of any Physical Products we supply.
      13. If you wish to exercise your rights to a refund for a Physical Product under this clause 10 , you must return those Physical Products to the address indicated by us. We will pay the costs of return if the Physical Products are faulty or misdescribed in accordance with clause 10.16 . In all other circumstances, you must pay the costs of return.
      14. You are responsible for taking reasonable care of the Physical Products until they are returned to us. We will be unable to provide you with a full refund if the Physical Products are not returned to us or if they are damaged when they arrive.
      15. Refund payments

      16. We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment that you used for the initial transaction; you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.
      17. Other refunds

      18. You have legal rights in relation to Physical Products that are not as described, faulty or otherwise not fit for purpose. If you believe that any Physical Products that you have ordered do not conform with these Terms of Sale, please contact our us to request a replacement or refund.
      19. If, due to unforeseen circumstances, we are unable to fulfil your Order or any of the Physical Products in a particular Order, we will refund the value of the Physical Product(s) that we were unable to fulfil and, if the full Order is cancelled, any delivery charges. You may obtain a refund by contacting us (see clause 16 below for the contact details).
    13. Liability

      1. Nothing in these Terms of Sale excludes or limits our liability for:
        1. death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
        2. fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; and
        3. any matter in respect of which it would be unlawful for us to exclude or restrict our liability.
      2. Business Users

      3. If you are a Business User, clauses 11.3 and 11.4 apply to you.
      4. Subject to clause 11.1:
        1. in no event shall we be liable to you for any loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of contracts, failure to realise anticipated savings or for any indirect or consequential loss, whether arising from negligence, breach of contract or otherwise; and
        2. our total liability to you for any loss or damage arising out of or in connection with these Terms, whether in contract (including under any indemnity), tort (including negligence) or otherwise shall be limited to £100.

      6. Consumers

      7. If you are a Consumer, clauses 11.6 to 11.8 (inclusive) apply to you.
      8. If we fail to comply with these Terms of Sale, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms of Sale or our negligence, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it was an obvious consequence of our breach or if it was contemplated by you and us at the time that the Contract between you and us for your Order became binding [(i.e. when the Confirmation Email for that Order was issued)].
      9. We only supply Products to you for domestic and private use. You agree not to use the Products for any commercial or business purposes and we have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
      10. Notwithstanding clause 11.6, and save as set out in clause 11.1 , our maximum liability to you under these Terms of Sale in respect of any particular Order will be limited to the value of that Order (which includes any delivery charges) as set out in the relevant Confirmation Email.

    16. Changes to these Terms and Conditions

      1. We may make changes to these Terms and Conditions from time to time (if, for example, there is a change in the law that means we need to change these Terms and Conditions) but the Terms of Sale applicable at the time of your Order will apply to that Order. Please check these Terms and Conditions regularly to ensure that you understand the Terms and Conditions that apply at the time that you access and use the Platform and/or order Products.
      2. If you are a Registered User, we will provide you with at least thirty (30) days' advance notice of any changes to the Terms of Use and/or these General Terms, unless the change is due to a change in law or for security reasons (in which case we may need to change the Term of Use and/or these General Terms on shorter notice). If you do not wish to continue using the Platform following the changes to the Terms of Use and/or these General Terms, you can cancel your agreement to the Terms of Use and/or these General Terms by cancelling your Account.
    17. Other important information

      1. Each of the clauses of these Terms and Conditions operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining clauses will remain in full force and effect.
      2. If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms and Conditions, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.
    18. Governing law and jurisdiction

      1. These Terms and Conditions are governed by English law. This means that your access to and use of the Platform, your purchasing of Products, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection therewith (including non-contractual disputes or claims) will be governed by English law.
      2. If you are a Consumer, you may bring any dispute which may arise under these Terms and Conditions to, at your discretion, either the competent court of England, or to the competent court of your country of habitual residence if this country of habitual residence is within the UK or is an EU Member State, which courts are (with the exclusion of any other court) competent to settle any of such a dispute. We shall bring any dispute which may arise under these Terms and Conditions to the competent court of your country of habitual residence if this is within the UK or is an EU Member State or otherwise the competent court of England.
      3. If you are a Consumer and are resident in the UK or the European Union and we direct the Platform to (and/or pursue our commercial or professional activities in relation to the Platform in) the country in which you are resident, you will benefit from any mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you are resident. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions, including clause 15.1 , affects your rights as a consumer to rely on such mandatory provisions of local law.
      4. If you are a Business User, each party irrevocably agrees that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with these Terms and Conditions or its subject matter or formation.
