Terms of Service

Last updated: 6th October 2018

1. About Game and the Services provided

CryptoServal is a distributed application that runs on Ethereum network, using specially-developed smart contracts to enable players to own, transfer, upgrade and progress unique animal cards (the “Assets” or “Animal Cards”) which can then be visualized on a website or in a mobile application that the user can interact with (the “Site”). The Smart Contracts and the Site are collectively referred to in these Terms as the “App”. Using the App, users can view their Assets and use the Smart Contracts to acquire, trade transfer and alter Assets with other App users. Before you can use the App, the Smart Contracts, or the Site, you need to agree to Terms of Use and sign them using your Ethereum account.

Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Site or the App.

By using the Service, you must be either 18 years old or older, or an emancipated minor, or possess legal parental or guardian consent, and are fully able and competent to enter into and comply with these Terms. If you are a parent or guardian agreeing to the terms for the benefit of a child over 13, then you agree to and accept full responsibility and legal liability for that child’s use of the Services.

Risks

Because CrytoServal is enabled by Smart Contract on the Ethereum platform, there are certain inherent risks. You acknowledge and agree that these risks include the following:

  • Ether currency, like other virtual currencies, can be very volatile. We make no guarantee regarding the value, or the stability of the value, of the Ether currency.
  • The Ethereum platform may not function properly and may be subject to hacking, malicious software, interruptions and failures. These events may cause delays or failures in your ability to buy, sell, or use Animal Cards.
  • New laws, rules or regulations might limit or require changes to the functionality enabled by the Ethereum platform, which could impact your ability to buy, sell, or use Animal Cards.
  • Other changes to the Ethereum platform could impact your ability to buy, sell, or use Animal Cards.
The risks are more detailedly explained in the Section 4 below.

Fees

Certain fees are payable upon transactions, they are as follows:

  • Every transaction on the Ethereum network requires the payment of a “Gas Fee” that is determined and administered by the Ethereum foundation. You will pay all Gas Fees associated with your transactions.
  • When you conduct any transactions using CryptoServal, we will automatically collect a commission. The amount of the commission may vary depending on the Animal Cards and is included in the Smart Contract.
These fees are more detailedly explained in Section 3 below.

Third-party Services

We neither own nor control MetaMask, Coinbase, Google Chrome, Brave browser, the Ethereum network, or any other third-party site, product, or service that you might access, visit, or use for the purpose of enabling you to use the various features of the App. We are not liable for the acts or omissions of any third parties, and subsequently we are also not liable for any damage that you may suffer as a result of your transactions or any other interaction with any third parties.

Taxes and duties

You are solely responsible for all taxes, fees, duties and governmental assessments that are imposed or become due in connection with the your use of CryptoServal including any transactions involving Animal Cards (​“Taxes”). You will pay or reimburse us for any and all such Taxes.

Acceptance

By using or participating in CryptoServal, you agreed to and are bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any of these Terms, do not use or participate in CryptoServal. There Terms may be updated from time to time, it is your duty to review these Terms regularly.

2. Termination

You may terminate these Terms at any time by canceling your account on the App and discontinuing your access to and use of the App. You will not receive any refunds if you cancel your account, or otherwise terminate these Terms.

You agree that we, in our sole discretion and for any or no reason, may terminate these Terms and suspend and/or terminate your account for the App. We also reserve the right to terminate any user’s right to access the Site or Services at any time, in our discretion. If you violate any of these Terms, your permission to use the Site and Services would be automatically terminated.

If we terminate these Terms or suspend or terminate your access to or use of the App due to your breach of these Terms or any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity, then termination of these Terms will be in addition to any other remedies we may have at law or in equity. Upon any termination or expiration of these Terms, whether by you or us, you may no longer have access to information that you have posted on the App or that is related to your account, and you acknowledge that we will have no obligation to maintain any such information in our databases or to forward any such information to you or to any third party.

3. Commission and Payment

If you purchase, trade or alter Assets in the App, or with or from other users via the App, any financial transactions that you engage in will be conducted solely through the Ethereum network via MetaMask. We will have no insight into or control over these payments or transactions, nor we have the ability to reverse any transactions. With that in mind, 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 via the App, or using the Smart Contracts, or any other transactions that you conduct via the Ethereum network or MetaMask.

Ethereum requires the payment of a transaction fee (“Gas Fee”) for every transaction that occurs on the Ethereum network. The Gas Fee funds a network of computers that run the decentralized Ethereum network. This means that you will need to pay the Gas Fee for each transaction that occurs via the App.

In addition to the Gas Fee, each time you utilize a Smart Contract to conduct a transaction with another user via the App, you authorize us to collect a commission in the range of 0-8%, on average 5%, of the total value of that transaction. You acknowledge and agree that the Commission will be transferred directly to us through the Ethereum network as part of your payment. We will not collect a Commission for interactions that do not involve our App.

Any and all purchases are final and non-refundable. You agree to be solely responsible for any applicable taxes imposed on the Assets purchased hereunder. You shall pay any applicable taxes, including sales, use, personal property, value-added, excise, customs fees, import duties or stamp duties or other taxes and duties imposed by governmental agencies of whatever kind and imposed with respect to the transactions.

You acknowledge and accept that we reserve the right, at our own and complete discretion and at any time, to modify or to temporarily or permanently suspend or to eliminate the App or the selling of the Assets. We shall reserve the right to refuse selling the Assets to you without any explanation, at its sole and absolute discretion.

You must take appropriate actions for keeping safety of your login and password in the App and shall bear responsibility of their safety and confidentiality. All actions carried out with the use of your login and password, considered to be executed by you.

  • The prices of blockchain assets are extremely volatile. Fluctuations n the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of your Assets, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. We cannot guarantee that any purchasers of Assets will not lose money or any guarantee whatsoever as to the price of any digital assets.
  • There are risks associated with using an Internet-based currency, 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 your wallet. You accept and acknowledge that we will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using the Ethereum network, however caused.
  • A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development of the Blockchain Cuties ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of Assets.
  • The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and tokens is uncertain, and new laws, rules, regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of Blockchain Cuties ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of Assets.
  • Upgrades by Ethereum to the Ethereum platform, a hard fork in the Ethereum platform, or a change in how transactions are confirmed on the Ethereum platform may have unintended, adverse effects on all blockchains using the ERC-721 standard, including Blockchain Cuties.
We cannot make any guarantees or warranties to the risks listed or other risks not listed above, consequently we are not liable for any damages or losses caused by these risks.
