The Trufflez NFT Terms and Conditions (this “Agreement”) is a legally binding agreement by and between Dropp TV, Inc. (the “Trufflez NFT Developer”) and you as a bidder, winner and/or purchaser (including any subsequent purchasers) of a Trufflez NFT (as defined below).
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING ARBITRATION FOR U.S. CUSTOMERS: WHEN YOU AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT YOU ARE AGREEING (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION) TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND TRUFFLEZ NFT DEVELOPER THROUGH BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT. PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY SECTION 15 “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” BELOW FOR DETAILS REGARDING ARBITRATION. HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF A JURISDICTION WHERE APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES, THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE IN SECTION 15 WILL NOT APPLY TO YOU BUT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 14 (GOVERNING LAW AND FORUM CHOICE) WILL APPLY INSTEAD.
1. Agreement to Terms.
By purchasing a Trufflez NFT, you acknowledge that you have carefully read and agree to the terms of this Agreement. “Trufflez NFT” means a non-fungible token (“NFT”) that is on a blockchain and, as of its genesis issuance, is linked to a display of Trufflez Art. Each Trufflez NFT is a controllable electronic record recorded on the applicable blockchain. “Trufflez Art” means the digital art for the Trufflez NFT that is provided by and owned by the Trufflez NFT Developer and is linked to the Trufflez NFT. This Agreement governs your participation in the initial sale and purchase on the Trufflez Website or any other platform the Trufflez NFT Developer may choose (the “Website”), as well as any subsequent transactions between Transferors and Transferees (as defined below) on any other platform that facilitates a Subsequent Sale (as defined below). Each Trufflez NFT may be compatible with, or support entitlements within, one or more interactive applications offered by Trufflez NFT Developer or a third party, and any such entitlements are not part of the NFT, but rather are part of the purchasing or licensing of such applications. Trufflez NFT Developer has no obligation to you to maintain any such interactive applications for any length of time.
(a) Additional Terms.
The access and use of the Website may be subject to a separate Terms of Use and Privacy Policy located at https://www.truffleznft.com/terms (the “Website Terms”) and https://www.truffleznft.com/privacy. You agree that you have read and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Website Terms because the Website Terms govern your use of the Website. If there is a conflict between the Website Terms and this Agreement with respect to the Trufflez NFT and/or the Trufflez Art, this Agreement controls.
(b) Changes to the License Grant Terms.
We may update the terms of the license grant to the Trufflez Art (and related items) (“License Grant Terms”) from time to time in our sole discretion. If we do, we’ll let you know by posting the updated License Grant Terms on the Website and/or may also send other communications. It’s important that you review the License Grant Terms whenever we update them, or when you purchase a Trufflez NFT. If you continue to participate in the sale and purchase of a Trufflez NFT after we have posted the updated License Grant Terms, it means that you accept and agree to the changes. If you don’t agree to be bound by the changes, you may not participate in the sale and purchase of a Trufflez NFT anymore.
2. Purchasing Trufflez NFT.
(a) Transactions Generally.
Before purchasing a Trufflez NFT, we may ask you to download a supported electronic wallet extension, and perhaps including that of a required wallet of the Trufflez NFT Developer, and connect and unlock your digital wallets with that extension. Once you submit an order to sell or purchase a Trufflez NFT, your order is passed on to the applicable wallet extension, which completes the transaction on your behalf.
YOU BEAR FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR VERIFYING THE IDENTITY, LEGITIMACY, AND AUTHENTICITY OF ANY TRUFFLEZ NFTS YOU PURCHASE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING INDICATORS AND MESSAGES THAT SUGGEST VERIFICATION, TRUFFLEZ NFT DEVELOPER MAKES NO CLAIMS ABOUT THE IDENTITY, LEGITIMACY, OR AUTHENTICITY OF TRUFFLEZ NFTS.
(b) Transactions Are Conducted on the Blockchain.
Trufflez NFT Developer does not buy, sell or take custody or possession of any Trufflez NFT, nor does it act as an agent or custodian for any user under this Agreement. You acknowledge that Trufflez NFT Developer does not take control or custody of any NFT or cryptocurrency at any time. If you elect to participate in the sale and purchase of any Trufflez NFT, any transactions that you engage in will be conducted solely through the relevant blockchain network governing such Trufflez NFT. You will be required to make or receive payments exclusively through the cryptocurrency wallet you have connected to the Website, or the wallet required by the Trufflez NFT Developer, and/or any other websites that facilitates Subsequent Sales. We will have no insight into or control over these payments or transactions, nor do we have the ability to reverse any transactions. Accordingly, 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 that you engage in for the Trufflez NFT. There may be royalties associated with the Subsequent Sale of any Trufflez NFT. You acknowledge and agree that the payment of any such royalty shall, in certain circumstances, be programmed to be self-executing via a blockchain network’s nonfungible token standard and Trufflez NFT Developer does not have any control or ability to direct such funds or the obligation to collect such fees.
(c) Sales.
3. Ownership of Trufflez NFT.
(a) If you acquire a Trufflez NFT, you own all personal property rights to that Trufflez NFT (e.g., the right to freely sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of that Trufflez NFT). Such rights, however, do not include the ownership of the intellectual property rights in the Trufflez Art. Your purchase from the Trufflez NFT Developer or purchase from any owner of Trufflez NFT originally produced by the Trufflez NFT Developer does not constitute a financial investment. You are buying personal property rights to an electronic record linked to a piece of art and potential gaming asset that lives on the applicable blockchain.
(b) You represent and warrant that you will not transfer a Trufflez NFT in any Subsequent Sale to a Transferee that is (i) located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a terrorist-supporting country; or is (ii) listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties (“Prohibited Transferees”). A “Subsequent Sale” means any transaction in which a Trufflez NFT is sold by one person to another person, or is otherwise transferred in any manner that is not an Initial Sale; and “Initial Sale” means a transaction facilitated through the Website in which a Trufflez NFT is first sold.
4. License of Trufflez Art.
By acquiring a Trufflez NFT, Trufflez NFT Developer hereby grants to you, for so long as you own the Trufflez NFT (as recorded on the relevant blockchain), a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, royalty-free license to use, copy, and display the Trufflez Art linked with your purchased Trufflez NFT solely for your own personal, non-commercial use, including to: (a) use it in connection with any third-party offering compatible with the Trufflez NFT or (b) to create a reasonable number of back-up copies of the Trufflez Art and a reasonable number of print outs of the Trufflez Art, each to be retained only for so long as you own the associated Trufflez NFT; and efforts to sell or otherwise transfer the associated Trufflez NFT consistent with the ownership of it (e.g., posting the Trufflez Art on a sales listing on an NFT marketplace). The license in the prior sentence is non-transferrable, except that it will automatically transfer in connection with the transfer of the Trufflez NFT.
5. Reservation of Rights.
All rights in and to the Trufflez Art not expressly provided for in this Agreement are hereby reserved by Trufflez NFT Developer. The Trufflez Art is licensed, not sold. Trufflez NFT Developer owns and will retain all title, interest, ownership rights and intellectual property rights in and to the Trufflez Art. Without limitation, you shall not, nor permit any third party to do or attempt to do any of the following without express prior written consent from Trufflez NFT Developer: (i) modify the Trufflez Art; (ii) use the Trufflez Art to advertise, market, or sell any product or service; (iii) use the Trufflez Art in connection with media that depicts hatred, intolerance, violence, cruelty, or any other subject matter that reflects negatively on the Trufflez brand; (iv) use the Trufflez Art in any other form of media, except solely for your own personal, non-commercial use for so long as you owns the Trufflez NFT; (v) sell, distribute for commercial gain (including, without limitation, giving away in the hopes of eventual commercial gain), or otherwise commercialize merchandise that includes, contains, or consists of the Trufflez Art; (vi) attempt to register any trademark, copyright, or otherwise acquire additional intellectual property rights in or to the Trufflez Art; or (vii) otherwise utilize the Trufflez Art for your or any third party’s commercial benefit.

You hereby agree to purchase the Trufflez NFT at the set price as determined by us (the “Initial Sale Purchase Price”).

You represent and warrant that you (i) are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a terrorist-supporting country; and (ii) are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
(c) Form of Payment.
Trufflez NFT Developer agrees to accept payment for the Initial Sale Purchase Price via an applicable blockchain (or in fiat currency at the sole discretion of the Tufflez NFT Developer); provided that Trufflez NFT Developer may elect to accept other methods or forms of payment on an as-converted to U.S. dollars basis in its sole discretion. The U.S. dollar exchange rate for any other forms of payment shall be determined solely by Trufflez NFT Developer, a third party (e.g., a marketplace), or an assignee or agent in accordance with reasonable and accepted market practices and additional transaction fees may apply.
(d) Gas Fees.
By buying or selling a Trufflez NFT on the Website or any other platform, you agree to pay all applicable fees and, if applicable, you authorize the automatic deduction of such fees (including any transaction fees, or Gas Fees, as applicable) directly from your payments for the Initial Sale or Subsequent Sales. “Gas Fees” fund the network of computers that run the decentralized applicable blockchain network, meaning that you will need to pay a Gas Fee for each transaction that occurs via the applicable blockchain network. Neither Trufflez NFT Developer nor a third party (e.g., a marketplace) have any insight into or control over these payments or transactions, nor does Trufflez NFT Developer or a third party (e.g., a marketplace) have the ability to reverse any transactions. Accordingly, Trufflez NFT Developer and a third party (e.g., a marketplace) 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 of the Trufflez NFT that you engage in.
(e) Transfers.
All Subsequent Sales are subject to the following terms: (i) the Trufflez NFT transferee (the “Transferee”) shall, by receiving an ownership interest in the Trufflez NFT, be deemed to accept all of the terms of this Agreement; (ii) the Trufflez NFT transferor (the “Transferor”) shall provide notice to the Transferee of this Agreement, including a link or other method by which the terms of this Agreement can be accessible by the Transferee, (iii) the Transferor shall pay Trufflez NFT Developer the royalty governed by the smart contract (the “Royalty Payment”). A Mint Pass may allow for no Royalty Payments. Trufflez NFT Developer shall be paid on the same terms and at the same time as Transferor is paid by the Transferee. You acknowledge and agree that the amounts payable to Trufflez NFT Developer under this Section herein does not include, and is not intended to cover any additional fees, including Gas Fees imposed or required by the transferring platform through which you transfer the Trufflez NFT and transaction fees for any other platform on which the Subsequent Sale takes place.
(i) You further acknowledge and agree that all Subsequent Sales will be effected on the applicable blockchain, the blockchain network governing the Trufflez NFT, and you will be required to make or receive payments exclusively through your cryptocurrency wallet.
(ii) Without limitation of any other termination rights, Trufflez NFT Developer may suspend or terminate the license to the Trufflez Art if it has a reasonable basis for believing that you have engaged in an off-chain sale of the Trufflez NFT, or otherwise engaged in any off-chain transactions for the purchase or sale of the Trufflez NFT without making the applicable Royalty Payment. You, and all subsequent Transferees, shall be responsible for paying the Royalty Payment associated with the Subsequent Sale purchase price, regardless of whether such purchase price is fulfilled on-chain, off-chain, or in a combination of the foregoing. A Mint Pass may however allow for no Royalty Payments as stipulated by the Trufflez NFT Developer.
