ASSUMPTION OF RISKS RELATED TO NFTS AND BLOCKCHAIN

The Prize may consist of a non-fungible token (NFT).  There are inherent risks associated with NFTs and the blockchain networks on which they’re offered.  

Volatility:

The prices of NFTs are extremely volatile and subjective.  NFTs have no inherent or intrinsic value.  Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of an NFT, which may also be subject to significant price volatility.  Sponsor does not guarantee that any NFT Prize will obtain or retain value, as the value of NFTs is inherently subjective, and factors occurring outside of Sponsor’s control may materially impact the value and desirability of any particular NFT.  NFT Prizes are not, and should not be treated as, an investment asset, and are not intended for investment purposes.

Inherent Risks:

There are inherent risks associated with using NFTs, including, but not limited to, the risk of hardware, software and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information stored within an individual’s digital wallet.  The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies and tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the potential utility or value of NFTs.  ACCEPTANCE OF ANY NFT PRIZE THAT YOU MAY WIN IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR RISK.  

Use of Blockchain:

NFTs exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on the blockchain.  

IF YOU WIN AN NFT PRIZE, YOU ACCEPT AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SPONSOR WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY COMMUNICATION FAILURES, DISRUPTIONS, ERRORS, DISTORTIONS OR DELAYS YOU MAY EXPERIENCE WHEN USING THE APPLICABLE ONLINE PLATFORM OR BLOCKCHAIN NETWORK, HOWEVER CAUSED.  UPGRADES TO SUCH PLATFORM OR BLOCKCHAIN NETWORK, OR A CHANGE IN HOW TRANSACTIONS ARE CONFIRMED ON THE BLOCKCHAIN NETWORK MAY HAVE UNINTENDED, ADVERSE EFFECTS ON YOUR NFT.

The NFTs are intangible digital assets that exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained in the applicable blockchain network.  All smart contracts are conducted and occur on the decentralized ledger within the blockchain.  SPONSOR HAS NO CONTROL OVER AND MAKES NO GUARANTEES OR PROMISES WITH RESPECT TO SMART CONTRACTS.  SPONSOR IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSSES DUE TO BLOCKCHAINS, OR ANY ELECTRONIC WALLET, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LATE REPORT BY DEVELOPERS OR REPRESENTATIVES (OR NO REPORT AT ALL) OF ANY ISSUES WITH THE BLOCKCHAIN, INCLUDING FORKS, TECHNICAL NODE ISSUES, OR ANY OTHER ISSUES HAVING FUND LOSSES AS A RESULT. 

SPONSOR WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOSSES YOU INCUR AS THE RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE BLOCKCHAIN OR YOUR ELECTRONIC WALLET, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY LOSSES, DAMAGES OR CLAIMS ARISING FROM: (I) USER ERROR, SUCH AS FORGOTTEN PASSWORDS OR INCORRECTLY CONSTRUED SMART CONTRACTS OR OTHER TRANSACTIONS; (II) SERVER FAILURE OR DATA LOSS; (III) CORRUPTED WALLET FILES; OR (IV) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS OR ACTIVITIES BY THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, VIRUSES, PHISHING, BRUTE-FORCING OR OTHER MEANS OF ATTACK AGAINST THE APPLICABLE BLOCKCHAIN NETWORK OR ANY ELECTRONIC WALLET.

The Sponsor is not responsible for any typographical or other error in the printing of the offer, administration of the Sweepstakes or in the announcement of the Prize and any Winners. If, for any reason, the Sweepstakes is not capable of running as planned, or is disrupted or corrupted, including, without limitation, by strikes, acts of war or terrorism, infection by computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, technical or system failures, or any other causes beyond the control of the Sponsor which corrupts or affects the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of the Sweepstakes, or for any reason the Sponsor deems it necessary, the Sponsor reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to cancel, terminate, modify or suspend the Sweepstakes. No software-generated, robotic, programmed, script, macro or other online or text message entries are permitted. The Sponsor reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to disqualify any person from the Sweepstakes if the Sponsor suspects or finds that such person: (i) has used a software-generated, robotic, programmed, script, macro or other automated online or text message entry; (ii) has tampered with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes; (iii) is acting or has acted in violation of these Rules; (iv) is acting in a disruptive manner, or with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person; or (v) has provided inaccurate information on any document submitted in connection with the Sweepstakes.
