You agree to keep all Wallet information accurate, current, and complete for so long as you are using the Platform.

4. ALTURA OBLIGATIONS

  1. Availability. Altura will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Platform available at all times, except for scheduled downtime and any unavailability caused by events beyond our reasonable control, such as fires, natural disasters, government actions, civil unrest, Internet service provider failures or delays, or denial of service attacks that would not be stopped by the use of standard security measures.
  2. Security. Altura will employ industry-standard technical, logical, and physical security measures and practices for the Platform and any Altura systems on which Direct User Content (as defined in Section 5(a)) is stored or processed designed to preserve the security and integrity of, and prevent unauthorized access to, the Platform, Altura Applications, and Direct User Content (defined below).

Direct User Content includes all content of Altura Applications, the design and workflow of an Altura Application, all data generated by or submitted to an Altura Application (including information relating to End Users), any templates or applications you make available through the Altura Marketplace, and any comments, reviews, responses or other information posted in any user forums or the equivalent. AS BETWEEN YOU AND ALTURA, YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL CONTENT, OPERATION, AND MANAGEMENT OF ANY ALTURA APPLICATION OR OTHER DIRECT USER CONTENT TO WHICH YOU HAVE ACCESS (INCLUDING IF SUCH DIRECT USER CONTENT WAS PRODUCED BY OTHERS OPERATING ON YOUR BEHALF, SUCH AS WHERE MULTIPLE DIRECT USERS HAVE ACCESS TO A SINGLE ALTURA APPLICATION), AND YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY ALTURA FOR ANY CLAIMS, DAMAGES, COSTS, AND LIABILITIES ARISING FROM SUCH ALTURA APPLICATION OR CONTENT.

  2. End User Content and Altura Application Terms. If End Users are allowed to post content on an Altura Application, such content will be deemed Direct User Content of the Direct User(s) who own the Wallet(s) associated with such Altura Application. Each Altura Application must include terms of use that are at least as protective of Altura, and grant the controller of the Altura Application the same rights with respect to removal and treatment of End User content that Altura has with respect to Direct User Content set forth in these Terms, including Sections 2(b), 3(c), 5(c), 5(e), 6(c), and 15.
  3. Review and Removal of Content. Altura is not required to review Direct User Content, but may determine, in our sole discretion, that certain Direct User Content violates these Terms. We may remove such content, suspend your Wallet, suspend access to the applicable Altura Application, or take any other steps that we deem appropriate in such case. Where applicable, Altura may still collect subscription fees from suspended Wallets. Altura does not guarantee the accuracy, reliability or quality of Direct User Content. You acknowledge that by using the Platform or Altura Marketplace, or by visiting an Altura Application, you may be exposed to content that you may consider offensive, indecent or objectionable. If you believe that any content on the Platform infringes a third party copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right, you may report the infringement as set forth in Section 15.
  4. License to Altura. By posting, displaying, sharing or distributing Direct User Content on or through the Platform, you grant Altura, its affiliates, and any applicable Third Party Services a nonexclusive license to use such Direct User Content during the Term (as defined in Section 11) solely for the purpose of operating the Platform and providing related services. Altura is acquiring no rights in the Direct User Content except for the limited license set forth above.
  5. Compliance and Preservation. Altura may access, preserve and disclose Wallet information and / or Direct User Content if Altura is required to do so by applicable law or if we believe in good faith that such access, preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to (i) comply with legal process, (ii) enforce these Terms, (iii) respond to claims that any Direct User Content violates the rights of third parties, including pursuant to Section 13, (iv) respond to your requests for customer service, or (v) protect the rights, property or personal safety of the Platform, Altura, our employees, directors or officers, partners and agents, or members of the public.
  6. Ownership Disputes. Sometimes ownership of a Wallet or Altura Application is disputed between parties, such as a business and its employees, or a web designer and a client. We try not to get involved in these disputes. However, we reserve the right, at any time and in our sole discretion, and without notice to you, to determine rightful Wallet or Altura Application ownership and to transfer a Wallet or Altura Application to such owner. Our decision in that respect is final. If we feel that we can’t reasonably determine the rightful owner, we reserve the right to suspend a Wallet or Altura Application until the disputing parties reach a resolution. We also may request documentation, such as a government-issued photo ID, credit card invoice or business license, to help determine the rightful owner.

6. ALTURA MARKETPLACE

  1. General. The “Altura Marketplace” lets Direct Users list and sell Direct User Content, including non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”) and Altura Application(s), to End Users (a “Buyer”). All such content available to buy or sell on the Altura Marketplace (“Marketplace Content”) is Direct User Content and subject to all applicable restrictions in Section 5, except as explicitly set forth in this Section 6. Sellers may not use Altura Marks in, or in connection with the marketing of, Marketplace Content, and may not otherwise suggest that they are associated with, or endorsed by, Altura. Buyers and Sellers in the Altura Marketplace contract directly with each other. Altura will not be a party to any contracts between Buyers and Seller. Altura facilitates these contracts by supplying a medium for the exchange of currency. Payment will be processed at the end of a completed transaction. All payments for Marketplace Content must be made through the Altura Marketplace (User-Branded Marketplace subscriptions are purchased through the developer portal).
  2. User-Branded Marketplaces. You also have the option to create a portal to access the Altura Marketplace to list and sell Direct User Content using your own branding and domain (a “User-Branded Marketplace”). Sellers may identify their User-Branded Marketplace as “Made with Altura” or “Powered by Altura,” and may include a link to the Site, but Sellers may not otherwise use Altura Marks in, or in connection with the marketing of a User-Branded Marketplace and may not otherwise suggest that they are associated with, or endorsed by, Altura.
  3. Submission and Review. Direct Users who have created Direct User Content that they would like to list on the Altura Marketplace may submit it by signing into their developer dashboard, selecting the Altura Application they would like to submit to the Marketplace, and using the “Game Page” option on to completely and accurately filling out all requested information. By submitting an Altura Application for listing on the Altura Marketplace, Seller (i) represents that it is compliant with the Platform, and (ii) makes all the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5(a) with respect to such Altura Application. Altura will review the submission and may refuse it for any reason whatsoever, including incompatibility with the Platform or inappropriate content.
  4. Removal. Altura reserves the right, at any time and for any reason, to remove a Marketplace Content from the Altura Marketplace, even if it was previously approved. Altura will take commercially reasonable steps to work with the Seller to mitigate the effect of such removal but is not responsible for any claims by End Users or third parties relating to such removal.
  5. Disclaimer. ALTURA MAKES NO WARRANTY WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO THE CONTENT, FUNCTIONALITY, APPROPRIATENESS, MERCHANTABILITY, OR OTHERWISE OF ANY MARKETPLACE CONTENT, AND DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE USE OF MARKETPLACE CONTENT.

The price for Marketplace Content is determined by the Seller, and Altura will retain a commission for all transactions processed through the Altura Marketplace (“Marketplace Fee”), in each case subject to the then-current Altura’s Marketplace Licenses, Privacy Policy, and Acceptable Use Policy. Altura may suspend or withhold payments to Seller for any breach of Seller’s obligations set forth in this Section 6 or otherwise under this Agreement. Altura may, in its sole discretion, discount the prices of Marketplace Content for certain buyers (i.e., students) or in the context of special promotions, in which case Sellers will be notified of such terms in advance of their taking effect. Altura may change or end promotions at any time.
  7. Refunds. Altura has no obligation to provide refunds or credits, but may grant them in extenuating circumstances, as a result of specific refund guarantee promotions, or to correct any errors made by Altura, in each case in Altura's sole discretion.
  8. Exclusivity. Sellers may only offer Marketplace Content on the Altura Marketplace. Sellers may promote Marketplace Content on their own or third party sites, but any “purchase” link or the equivalent must direct the user to the Altura Marketplace (and not via a frame or pop-up but via a re-direct).

  9. License to Buyer.

    1. All Marketplace Content is licensed, not sold, and the Seller retains all right, title and interest in and to the Marketplace Content except for the limited license provided to Buyer as set forth herein. ii. Unless otherwise set forth in customized license terms made available to Buyer in connection with the applicable Marketplace Content: (1) all the rights and restrictions of Section 2 apply to each Buyer and Seller, except such Section should be read to replace “Altura” with “Seller”, “you” with “Buyer”, and “Platform” with the name of the applicable Marketplace Content; (2) Seller affirms that the representations and warranties made in Section 5(a) with respect to all Direct User Content apply fully to all Marketplace Content, and acknowledges that Buyer may seek appropriate remedies for a breach of any such representations and warranties; and (3) Seller will fully disclose any Open Source Software or Third Party Services integrated into or dynamically linked to by such Marketplace Content. For each Marketplace Content, the Seller must indicate whether it is licensed for individual or internal business use only or whether a Buyer may use such Marketplace Content in an Altura Application built for third parties (i.e., where the Buyer is an agency) and any other restrictions applicable to such license. Payment and other terms may differ between individual and agency licenses, and will be specified in the description for such Marketplace Content.
    2. Any Buyer license to a Marketplace Content will terminate upon termination of Buyer’s license to the Platform hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, and (2) claims of (A) defamation, (B) violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, or (C) infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s intellectual property rights, may be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts located in Delaware. The parties agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of such courts for such purpose. A request for equitable relief will not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate.
  3. Enforceability. With the exception of Section 14(b)(i), if any part of Section 14(b) is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason then the balance of Section 14(b) will remain in effect. If, however, Section 14(b)(i) is found to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, or we receive a valid opt-out notice from you pursuant to Section 14(b)(iii), then Section 14(b) will be null and void, neither party will be entitled to arbitration, and any claims relating to the Terms or Platform will be exclusively brought in a state or federal court located in Delaware.
