1. This is a binding contract

By creating a Royal Council (the “Community”) account, viewing Content posted on or otherwise made available through the Community, making a purchase from us, downloading our software, or otherwise using the Services, you accept this Agreement and consent to contract with us electronically.

2. Who can join the Community and use the Services?

You may use the Services only if (i) you are at least [13] years old, (ii) you meet the minimum age of digital consent in your country, (iii) you agree to form a binding contract with us according to the Terms set forth here, and (iv) you are not a person barred from receiving the Services under the laws of your local applicable jurisdiction. If you are old enough to access the Services but not old enough to have the authority to agree to form a binding contract with us, your parent or guardian must agree to these Terms on your behalf. If you are a parent or guardian consenting to these Terms on behalf of your teenager, these Terms also apply to you, and you are responsible for your teenager’s activity when using our Services.

If you are an entity other than a natural person, the person who registers the account or otherwise uses our Services must have the authority to bind the entity. In this situation, “you” refers to both the entity and each person who is authorized to access the entity’s account.

We may update this Agreement at any time by posting a revised version on our website at royalcouncil.palayeroyale.com. By continuing to use our Services, you accept any revised Agreement.

This Agreement includes our Privacy Policy. Please review our Privacy Policy to learn about the information we collect from you, how we use it, and with whom we share it.

3. Description of the Services

Subject to the terms hereof, we agree to provide you with the Services. We provide the Services through our websites, applications, and other properties that we own and operate and use to deliver the Community. The Services consist of the following:

  • Enabling you to upload, embed, link, share, and interact with multimedia, including multimedia related to live experiences and multimedia hosted on third-party platforms, made available to the Community by you, Palaye Royale, or other fans the Community;

  • Allowing you to connect with Palaye Royale and other people in the Community through communication, reactions, and multimedia experiences;

  • Using blockchain technology to enrich how multimedia is experienced in the Community, including by transforming such experiences into digital products and/or records of fan recognition or expression;

  • Enabling you to establish a personal profile where you may showcase, among other things, your screen name, your experiences with Palaye Royale creative work, and your activity in the Community.

4. Features and tools

Access to features: The specific features of the Community and Services available to you will depend on your level of access to or engagement within the Community. These features, and your requirements for accessing them, may change at any time at the discretion of Palaye Royale.

Creation tools: We may allow you to use certain tools that allow you to create or modify multimedia files, including but not limited to photos, images, audio files, and videos.

Transactions: We may offer to you (for free or for purchase) physical and digital goods, services, and experiences. Purchases or acceptances of such goods, services, and experiences are governed by these Terms, unless we provide other terms of purchase at the time of sale (“Transaction Terms”). In the event of any express conflict between these Terms and Transaction Terms, the Transaction Terms will govern solely with respect to the relevant transaction and solely to the extent of the conflict.

Developer tools: We may offer application programming interfaces (“APIs”) that developers can use to build applications that are connected to our Services.

Beta Services: We may invite you to try beta, pilot, or limited release features (“Beta Services”). By using any Beta Services, you agree that they may not work properly or otherwise contain bugs or errors, and they may be modified or discontinued at any time.

Third-party websites and services: Within the Community, we may provide or permit links to and integrations with websites or services operated by others. Your use of each third-party website or service is subject to its terms of service, not ours.

Blockchain transactions: a. We use blockchain technology to deliver the Services at our discretion and for several purposes, including (i) to create NFTs and deliver (or “drop”) them to your Digital Wallet, and (ii) to track the ownership and history of NFTs. Once an NFT has been created (whether by you, us, or anyone else) and recorded on a blockchain, such NFT is intended to be permanent, and is not designed to be edited or changed. However, we do not represent or guarantee that any NFT created by you, us, or anyone else will function as intended.

b. We have no obligation to monitor, audit, or police any smart contracts underlying any NFTs that we, you or anyone else create, nor do we have an obligation to validate the creation of or confirm ownership of any NFTs. We do not guarantee that your NFTs will be compatible with our Services. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees with respect to any NFTs produced through or otherwise interacting with our Services. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable or responsible to you if you cannot use your NFT in connection with the Services or if you cannot connect your Digital Wallet with our Services. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR, OR LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, REVENUES, INFORMATION OR DATA, OR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

5. Community purchases

Product availability, pricing, and modifications: From time to time, we may offer for sale through the Community digital products and services that we or independent sellers have created. Certain products or services may be available exclusively online through our website. These products or services may have limited quantities. We reserve the right to limit the sales of all products or services we offer to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction. We may exercise this right on a case-by-case basis. We reserve the right to limit the quantities of any products or services that we offer. All descriptions of products and prices are subject to change at any time without notice, at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time. Any offer for any product or service made on this site is void where prohibited.

Product: We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colors and images of products and services that we offer for sale on our website. We cannot guarantee that your phone or computer display of any color will be accurate. We do not warrant that the quality of any products, services, information, or other material purchased or obtained from us by you will meet your expectations.

Billing and payment information: You agree to provide current, complete and accurate billing and payment information for all purchases made at our store. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address and credit card numbers and expiration dates, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.

Valid purchasers: You may only purchase goods and services from us if you are an individual. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers or distributors.

Cancellations: We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order you place with us. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. In the event that we make a change to or cancel your order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail and/or billing address/phone number provided when the order was made, and we will reimburse you to the extent the cancellation or modification of your order results in your owing us a lesser amount.

Malfunctioning or damaged products: The products we sell are digital goods. They are non-tangible and irrevocable, and involve permanent transaction records on one or several blockchains. If you purchase a product from us and it is malfunctioning or is damaged, please contact us at PalayeRoyaleContact@gmail.com, explain the issue you are having with the product, and we will attempt to resolve it. If necessary, we will issue you a replacement product.

Returns and Refunds: We stand behind the products we offer and your satisfaction with them is important to us. However, because the products we offer are non-tangible, irrevocable digital goods, they are deemed “used” once they have been opened or downloaded, or once your purchase has been recorded on a blockchain. Accordingly, we are generally unable to offer refunds once you make a purchase from us.

If you purchased a digital good from us, but have not yet opened or downloaded the product, and your purchase has not yet been recorded on a blockchain, you may submit a refund request to us. Any such refund requests must be received within 14 (fourteen) days of your original purchase. By submitting a refund request, you are not entitled to a refund. We will consider refund requests at our sole discretion, and on a case-by-case basis.

Contact information: You may direct any questions you have regarding products or services offered for sale on our website to PalayeRoyaleContact@gmail.com.

6. Account creation

To create a Community account, you must provide certain information, including an email address and a Digital Wallet. By creating an account, among other things you agree to receive notices from us at your email address, and NFT “drops” from us to your Digital Wallet.

Parents and Guardians: By granting your child permission to use the Services through your account, you agree and understand that you are responsible for supervising your child’s usage of the Services.

When you connect a Digital Wallet to your account, you agree that you will continue to use that Digital Wallet under the terms and conditions and privacy policies of the applicable provider of the Digital Wallet. We have no custody or control over the contents of any Digital Wallet, including any NFTs that we create and/or drop or attempt to drop into your Digital Wallet. We also cannot retrieve or transfer any contents of your Digital Wallet. Your use of any Digital Wallet is solely at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept no responsibility for, or liability to, you, in connection with your use of any Digital Wallet (including with respect to the contents of any Digital Wallet), and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, make no representations or warranties regarding how or whether our Services will operate with any specific Digital Wallet, or with any specific blockchain.
