Warranties, Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability.

You expressly understand and agree that:

Your use of the Service is at your sole risk. The Service and the associated Materials and Content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.  The Company Parties expressly disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a purpose and non-infringement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company Parties make no warranty that: (i) the Service will meet your requirements; (ii) the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free; (iii) information that may be obtained via the Service will be accurate or reliable; (iv) the quality of any and all products, services, information or other Materials, including all merchandise, products, goods or services, obtained or purchased by you directly or indirectly through the company Service will meet your expectations or needs; and (v) any errors in the Service will be corrected.

The Company Parties shall not under any circumstances be liable for any damages of any kind arising out of, in connection with or relating to the use of or inability to use the Service, including any liability: (i) as a publisher of information; (ii) for any incorrect or inaccurate information or any ‘bug’ of the Service; (iii) for any unauthorized access to or disclosure of your transmissions or data; (iv) for statements or conduct of any third party on or via the Service; (v) for any disputes between Users of the Service or between a User of the Service and a Third Party; or (vi) for any other matter relating to the Service or any Third Party. This is a comprehensive limitation of liability that applies to all damages of any kind, including any direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, whether based on breach of contract, breach of warranty, tort (including negligence), product liability or otherwise, even if an individual advises the Company Parties of the possibility of such damages. The limitations of liability set forth herein are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between Company and you. The products, information and services offered on and through the Service would not be provided to you without such limitations.

The Company Parties shall not under any circumstances be liable for any damages of any kind arising out of, or in connection with or relating to the actions and activities of any third-party contractors and suppliers of services we may engage to provide services to you.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sole and entire maximum liability of the Company Parties for any reason, and your sole and exclusive remedy for any cause or claim whatsoever, shall be limited to the charges paid by you directly to company via the Service, if any, for Services provided solely and directly by Company to you during the three (3) months since the cause of action arose.

You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim you may bring must be filed within one (1) year after the cause of action occurred or it will be permanently barred.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain types of damages. Accordingly, some of the above disclaimers and limitations may not apply to you.

If you are a California resident, you shall and hereby do waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

Purchases and Payments

By buying and selling NFTs on the Site, you agree to pay all applicable fees and you authorize Watch Skins to automatically deduct fees directly from payments to you and/ or add fees to your payments to Watch Skins, where applicable.  Due to the nature of cryptocurrency, Watch Skins does not provide any refunds and any transaction you enter into shall be final. 

Pricing. Pricing and availability of all products for sale displayed through the Site are subject to change at any time before you click the button indicating that you want to purchase such product or service.

Purchase/Sale of NFTs.  The Site provides three opportunities to purchase (or sell) watch skin NFTs: 1) via the Company Configurator, 2) in the Marketplace; and 3) via an Auction.

In order to make any purchase on the Site you must first deposit ETH into a wallet created for you by the Company; your ‘custodial wallet’.  Only the ETH in your custodial wallet can be used on the Site.

When you create an NFT for purchase using the Configurator, or when you buy an NFT from the Marketplace, you must have sufficient ETH in your custodial wallet to complete the transaction (including Gas fees as described below).

In addition, you may sell and purchase NFTs through the Watch Skins Auction platform. Your participation in an auction is subject to the rules available on the Watch Skins Auction platform.  Bids on the Auction platform will only be accepted if you have a sufficient ‘Available ETH Balance’ in your custodial wallet.  The Available ETH Balance at any time is the total ETH in your custodial wallet less ETH that we have placed a hold on based on auction bids where you are the then current top bidder (together with estimated Gas fees for such auctions).  ETH in a hold status may not be withdrawn from your custodial wallet.

Auction bids may not be retracted or cancelled.  Your Available ETH Balance can increase by your making a deposit of ETH into your custodial wallet, or, if another User places a bid on an auction higher than your bid.  In this case, the Platform will release the hold on your custodial wallet, resulting in an increase in your Available ETH Balance. 

Every transaction on the Site requires the payment of a transaction fee (each, a “Gas Fee”). The Gas Fees fund the network of computers that run the decentralized Watch Skins platform.  You will be solely responsible to pay any Gas Fee for any transaction that you enter into via the Service.

Watch Skins may pause, cancel, or discontinue your Auction transactions at its sole discretion without liability.

Payment Processing Methods. Any payments or financial transactions that you engage in via the Site are to be conducted solely through the Platform.  Your interactions with a third-party seller found on or through the Service, including payment and delivery of goods or services, if any, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such matters are solely between you and the seller, except as may be otherwise stated herein. 

Watch Skins is not a broker and the Services offered by Watch Skins are administrative only. Watch Skins facilitates transactions between the buyer and seller in the Auction but is not a party to any agreement between the buyer and the seller of NFTs or between any Users. You acknowledge and agree that we are not a party to any transactions you may enter into using the Service and we shall not under any circumstances be liable for any damages of any kind arising out of, or in connection with, or relating to, the content, products, goods, services or information of a Seller.

You agree that you are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your NFT transactions on the Site. Neither Watch Skins nor any other Watch Skins affiliated entity is responsible for determining the taxes that may apply to your NFT transactions.

Risks 

You understand and agree that your access and use of the Site is subject to certain risks including without limitation:

The potential application of existing regulatory regimes governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, tokens in general and NFTs is not fully developed and remains substantially uncertain in many respects. New regulations or policies may materially and adversely affect the utility of NFTs.

Regulation of cryptographic assets (including NFTs), platforms such as decentralized automated market makers that NFTs exist within may use, and blockchain networks (such as the Ethereum network on which NFTs are intended to be recorded) is uncertain and is rapidly evolving. Such regulation may vary and may conflict among international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, and the potential applications of existing regulations remain subject to significant uncertainty in many respects.

In addition, various legislative and executive bodies in the United States and other countries may in the future adopt new laws, regulations, guidance or other actions (including applying existing laws and regulations in ways that are adverse), which may severely impact the ability to access marketplaces or exchanges on which to trade NFTs and the structure, rights, value and transferability of NFTs. Failure by us to comply with any laws, rules and regulations, some of which may not exist yet or are subject to interpretation and may be subject to change, could result in a variety of adverse consequences.

The further development and acceptance of blockchain networks, which are part of a new and rapidly changing industry, as well as blockchain-based assets such as ETH, are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing or stopping of the development or acceptance of blockchain networks and blockchain assets would have an adverse material effect on the successful development and adoption of NFTs.

The slowing or stopping of the development, general acceptance, adoption, and usage of blockchain networks (such as the Ethereum network) and blockchain assets may deter or delay the acceptance and adoption of NFTs.

The application of blockchain technology is novel and untested and may contain inherent flaws or limitations.

Blockchain networks are part of several emerging technologies in applied cryptography that offer new capabilities that are not fully proven in use. There are limited examples of the application of blockchain technology. In most cases, software used by blockchain asset issuing entities will be in an early development stage and still unproven. As with other novel software products, the computer code underpinning NFTs and Ethereum blockchain may contain errors or function in unexpected ways. Insufficient testing of Smart Contract code, as well as the use of external code libraries, may cause the software to break or function incorrectly. Any error or unexpected functionality may cause a decline in value of NFTs and result in substantial losses to purchasers of NFTs.

Blockchain networks utilize code that is subject to change at any time. These changes may have unintended consequences for NFTs, and we may not be able to prevent these changes.

The Ethereum network operates based on an open-source protocol maintained by contributors, and contributors are generally not compensated for maintaining and updating the Ethereum network protocol. The lack of guaranteed financial incentive for contributors to maintain or develop the Ethereum network and the lack of guaranteed resources to adequately address emerging issues with the Ethereum network may reduce incentives to address the issues adequately or in a timely manner. This may adversely affect either the market value or the operational status of NFTs.

Cyber security threats could result in misappropriation, hacking, infection by malware or other damage to NFTs or the blockchain network on which it is issued, which could adversely affect an investment in NFTs.

Security breaches, computer malware and computer hacking attacks have been a prevalent concern since the launch of blockchain networks, particularly those with smart contract capability. Any security breach caused by hacking or to cause intentional malfunctions or loss or corruption of data, software, hardware or other computer equipment and inadvertent or intentional infection by computer viruses could harm or damage the software behind NFTs, which are intended to use the Ethereum blockchain, resulting in a loss of functionality, value, possession or other damage to the holders of such NFTs. Any breach of the software infrastructure supporting NFTs could adversely affect an investment therein.

The security system and operational infrastructure supporting NFTs may be breached due to various causes, including, without limitation, the actions of outside parties, error or malfeasance of an employee or other third-party service providers or other reasons, and, as a result, an unauthorized party may obtain access to private keys, data or the software infrastructure for NFTs and ETH or other cryptocurrencies. As the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service or sabotage systems change frequently or may be designed to remain dormant until a predetermined event and often are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventative measures. If an actual or perceived breach of the security system or operational infrastructure supporting NFTs occurs, part or all of a token holder's NFTs could be lost, stolen or destroyed, and the value of an investment in NFTs may be adversely affected.

Withdrawal of an NFT to a decentralized digital asset wallet is at your own risk, and the transfer for any NFT to an incorrect digital asset wallet address will result in the irreversible loss of such NFT.

You understand and agree that you are solely responsible for determining the nature, potential value, suitability and appropriateness of these risks for yourself. Watch Skins does not give any advice or recommendations regarding the NFTs. You understand and agree that you access and use the Services at your own risk. You understand and agree that Watch Skins will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, or distortions you may experience when using the NFTs or the Services.
