This means that all xHamster NFTs are outside the control of any one party, including the Company, and are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Company neither owns nor controls cryptocurrency wallets (including MetaMask and WalletConnect), the Ethereum network, the Ethereum blockchain, Your browser, or any other third-party site, product, or service (including third-party wallets or marketplaces) that You might access, visit, or use for the purpose of enabling You to use the Services or to purchase, xHamster NFTs. Except for transferring the digital ownership of an NFT from the Company to the initial purchaser through the Services, the Company has no responsibility with respect to any secondary transactions of xHamster NFTs. Company will not be liable for the acts or omissions of any third parties, nor will Company be liable for any damage that You may suffer as a result of Yur transactions with xHamster NFT or any other interaction with any third parties.

4. XHAMSTER NFTS
- User has the possibility to become a Collector by purchasing xHamster NFT. There will be a limited number of xHamster NFTs initially minted - only 10,000 (ten thousand). You can find a detailed description of the different types of xHamster NFTs in the special section of Our Website.
- The initial sale of xHamster NFTs will start at a date, that will be explicitly specified in the special section of the Website. You can purchase xHamster NFT on the Website using a Wallet, as described above. All sales are definite and final, and We do not guarantee that all interested buyers will be able to purchase xHamster NFTs before they are sold out since there is a limited number of xHamster NFTs. We disclaim all liability in connection with the purchase of any xHamster NFTs. It is Your responsibility to ensure that Your purchase of any xHamster NFT has been completed. We reserve the right to terminate or end the initial sale of xHamster NFTs at any time.
- Company is not and shall not be a party to any transaction or dispute between any initial minter of an NFT and any subsequent owner of such NFT, whether arising from any rights granted in that NFT or otherwise, unless otherwise set forth in connection with such NFT.
- Since the number of NFTs is limited, the Company reserves the right to establish a special consequential order for Users to purchase xHamster NFT. The Company, at its sole discretion, will include carefully selected cryptocurrency wallets of separate Users in the whitelist of cryptocurrency wallets, which will be used for purchasing xHamster NFTs prior to cryptocurrency wallets that are not in this whitelist. The rules for inclusion in the whitelist will be determined internally by the Company. At the same time, the presence of the User’s cryptocurrency wallet in the said whitelist will not guarantee the purchase of xHamster NFTs.
5. NFTS’ BONUSES
- A Collector of xHamster NFTs may receive special benefits, experiences, or opportunities ("NFT’s Bonuses") as determined by the Company, at its sole discretion, after the NFTs are first made available for sale by the Company.
- In case the Company decides to provide NFT’s Bonuses, the description of such NFT’s Bonuses and the possible ways to receive them will be available in a special section of the Website.
- In case the Company decides to provide NFT’s Bonuses, it is at the Company’s sole discretion to determine the possibilities of such NFT’s Bonuses and the particular Collectors who may obtain certain NFT’s Bonuses. The Company reserves the right to vary the NFT’s Bonuses and their possibilities depending on the type of NFT, the number of purchased NFTs by each Collector, etc.
- Company does not make any representation, warranty or guarantee that any Collector will receive any NFT’s Bonuses or achieve any particular outcome as a result of purchasing any xHamster NFT. In case the Collector violates these Terms or the Company decides so, the Company reserves the right at any time and at its sole discretion to restrict, limit, or deny any xHamster NFT’s Bonuses, including to limit the period of time when NFT’s Bonuses are available. NFT’s Bonuses are not intended to be an endorsement of any project, creator, NFT, individual or any other thing, and the Company makes no recommendation and provides no investment advice in connection with any NFT’s Bonuses or otherwise as a result of holding or owning an xHamster NFT.
6. PRICING AND transaction FEES; PAYMENTS
- All pricing and payment terms for xHamster NFTs are indicated at the moment and at the point of sale or otherwise on the Website, and any payment obligations You incur are binding at the time of initial purchasing (minting). You may not substitute any other currency, whether cryptocurrency or fiat currency, for any currency in which You have contracted to pay at the time of purchase. For clarity, no fluctuation in the value of any currency, whether cryptocurrency or otherwise, shall impact or excuse Your obligations with respect to any obligation to pay any amounts.
- When each xHamster NFT is sold for the first time, the agreement for sale is between the Company and the initial Collector. If the initial Collector decides to sell an xHamster NFT ("Secondary Sale"), then the Company will not be a party to any agreement between the applicable buyer, seller, or facilitator of the secondary sale.
- By placing an order on the Website or through the Services, You agree that You are submitting a binding offer to purchase an xHamster NFT, You agree to pay all applicable fees associated with such transaction (including "gas fee"), and You authorize the Company (and other third parties as may be applicable) to automatically charge and collect such fees from Your Wallet. In other words, any acquisition, purchase, trade, or sale of NFTs will be conducted solely through the Ethereum network, though the Website may serve as a platform that facilitates such transactions. We have no control over these transactions as or once they occur, nor do We have the ability to reverse any transactions. You agree that We will have no liability to You or to any third party for any claims or damages that may arise as a result of any transactions pertaining to the Smart Contracts, or any other transactions that will be conducted via the Ethereum network.
- You acknowledge and agree that the Company is entitled to receive 5.0% (five percent) of every Secondary Sale of each xHamster NFT ("Royalty"). The Company has the right to collect Royalties for xHamster NFTs’ sales in perpetuity. As such, if You sell an xHamster NFT, including on a third-party marketplace, You agree to inform the potential buyers that the Royalty will apply, prior to the sale.
- It is the User's responsibility to decide whether any taxes apply to the purchase of an xHamster NFT You perform through the Services, and to withhold, report and remit the relevant funds to the appropriate tax authorities. You agree that the Company is not responsible for determining whether any taxes apply to Your transfers or for collecting, reporting, withholding, or remitting any taxes arising from any purchase of an xHamster NFT and does not act as Your tax agent.
- In certain cases, We may require You to provide additional information and documents at the request of any competent authority or in case of application of any applicable law or regulation, including laws related to anti-money laundering (legalization) of income generated as a result of criminal activities, or financing terrorism. Company may also require that You provide additional information and documents in cases where it has reasons to believe that: (i) You are using the Services for money laundering or for any other illegal activity; (ii) You have concealed or reported false information and other details; and/or (iii) the transactions effected by You were effected in breach of these Terms.

- Binding Arbitration. If there is a dispute between the Company and the User (collectively referred to as "the Parties" and individually referred to as the "Party") arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement, the Parties shall meet, virtually or in person, and negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve the dispute. If the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute through direct negotiations, then, except as otherwise provided herein, the issue shall be submitted by either Party to binding arbitration in accordance with applicable arbitration rules. Claims subject to arbitration ("Arbitral Claims") shall include, but are not limited to, contract and tort claims of all kinds, and all claims based on any federal, state, or local law, statute, or regulation, excepting only claims by Us under actions (regardless of the underlying cause of action) seeking injunctions, attachment, garnishment, and other equitable relief. The arbitration procedures shall be conducted in the Republic of Cyprus, in a convenient location agreed to by the Parties, or in the absence of such agreement, the location shall be selected by the Arbitrator. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, who is knowledgeable in Internet and e-Commerce disputes.
- The Arbitrator shall have no authority to award any punitive or exemplary damages, certify a class action, add any parties, or vary or ignore the provisions of this Agreement. The arbitrators shall be bound by and apply Cyprus law to any dispute submitted for arbitration hereunder, and this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Cyprus.

THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN REGARD TO ARBITRAL CLAIMS.
- No waiver of the right to arbitration. There shall be no waiver of the right to arbitration unless such waiver is provided affirmatively and in writing by the waiving Party to the other party. There shall be no implied waiver of this right to arbitration. No acts, including the filing of litigation, shall be construed as a waiver or a repudiation of the right to arbitrate.
- YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if a dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with a Party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this section shall be null and void
