      The current blockchain used for the minting of NFTs and encoding of the smart contracts is Polygon.

      The Wallet is stored in the IndexedDB of each Collector’s device.

      • 11.2. No recognition of intellectual property rights to the Collectors


      • 11.2.1. The Collectors who own Prints NFTs acknowledge and accept that this ownership shall not transfer any acquisition of intellectual property right on the corresponding Artworks. Therefore, the Collectors shall not make any reproduction, representation (including the exhibition), adaptation and, more generally, any exploitation of the Artworks.


      • 11.2.2. The Collectors which purchase a NFT to which the issue of a physical object is attached, are not allowed to transfer, share or broadcast online the media for reading the Artworks (such as the MP4 file contained on a USB key).


        The media for reading the Artworks must be kept for single and private use of the Collectors.


        Therefore, a such Collector has no right of reproduction, representation or adaptation on the Artwork which has been delivered on a digital media.


      • 11.2.3 In any case, the Collectors acknowledge and accept that they will not infringe nor permit any third party to infringe the intellectual property rights on the Artwork (i) of the Company (ii) nor of any third party (iii) (such as the artist who created the Artwork or an art gallery which commercializes the Artwork on the Website).


        Therefore, any act of reproduction, representation, adaptation, modification, distortion, disassembling, decompilation, decryption, extractions, reuse, copies, total or partial exploitation of the Artwork is prohibited and constitutes an act of copyright infringement sanctioned by the article L. 335-3 of the French Intellectual Property Code.

    • Article 12 – FORCE MAJEURE

      • The occurrence of a case of Force Majeure has the effect of suspending the performance of the contractual obligations of each of the Parties regarding the use of the Services.


        After a period of three (3) months of suspension due to Force Majeure, either Party may cancel the Order, without any right to compensation on either side, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt sent to the other Party. The cancellation will take effect on the day the said registered letter is sent, provided that the event invoked in support of the cancellation is a case of Force Majeure.


    • Article 13 – MISCELLANEOUS

      13.1. Technical and commercial assistance


      For any information, the Collector is invited to send a request to the Company by e-mail to the address indicated in Article 16.


      13.2. Correspondence – Proof


      Pursuant to article 1366 of the French Civil Code, the Collector acknowledges and accepts that the information provided by the Company by electronic mail is deemed to be proof between the Collector and the Company.


      13.3. Waiver


      The fact that one of the Parties does not avail itself of a breach by the other Party of any of the obligations referred to in the General Conditions of Use shall not be interpreted for the future as a waiver of this obligation.


      13.4. Partial invalidity


      In the event that one or more stipulations of the General Conditions of Use are considered null and void, deemed unwritten or declared as such in application of a law, a regulation or following a decision of a competent court with final authority, the other stipulations shall retain all their force and scope and shall remain fully applicable, unless the invalid stipulation(s) were of a substantial nature and their disappearance calls into question the contractual balance.


      13.5. Language


      The General Conditions of Use have been drafted in English.

      If the General Conditions of Use are translated into a foreign language, the English version shall prevail over any other translation in the event of any dispute relating to the application, interpretation, validity and performance of the General Conditions of Use.


    • Article 14 – ENFORCEABILITY – MODIFICATION

      • The General Conditions of Use are enforceable against any Collector in the context of its contractual relationship with the Company.

      • The Company reserves the right to unilaterally modify the content of the General Conditions of Use at any time, provided that the said modifications do not concern (i) the duration and characteristics of the agreement, (ii) the price of the Services and (iii) the rights and obligations of the Parties. The modifications will be enforceable against the Collector as soon as they are brought to its attention.
    • Article 15 – APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION

      The General Conditions of Use are governed by French law.


      In the event of a dispute between the Collector (as consumer) and the Company, the Collector may file a complaint with the Association of European Mediators (11 place Dauphine - 75001 PARIS / https://www.mediationconso-ame.com) under the conditions set out in articles L. 612-1 et seq. of the French Consumer Code. In particular, the Collector must be able to prove that he has tried to resolve his dispute with the Company by sending a written complaint and, if the said dispute has not been resolved, refer the matter to the mediator within one (1) year of the complaint.


      In the event of a dispute relating to the application, interpretation, validity and performance of the General Conditions of Use or their consequences, and in the absence of an amicable agreement between the Parties, the Parties shall agree that the Paris courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction thereof, unless there are mandatory rules of procedure to the contrary.
