(a) To initiate certain transactions on the Platform, a Purchaser must voluntarily invoke one or more smart contract operations from an Ethereum Wallet. All such transactions on the Platform, including the sale or purchases of NFTs are initiated though one or more smart contracts at the sole discretion and at the complete risk of the Purchasers. The smart contracts are configured to facilitate the execution of a sale or transfer an NFT. The Purchaser acknowledges the risk of smart contracts and agrees to be bound by the outcome of any smart contract operation by invoking, calling, requesting, or otherwise engaging with the smart contract.
(b) You acknowledge and agree that there are risks associated with purchasing and holding NFTs and using blockchain technology. These include, but are not limited to, risk of losing access to any NFT due to loss of private key(s), custodial error or Purchaser error, risk of mining or blockchain attacks, risk of hacking and security weaknesses, risk of unfavorable regulatory intervention in one or more jurisdictions, risks related to token taxation, risk of personal information disclosure, risk of uninsured losses, unanticipated risks, and volatility risks.

2.6 You are entirely responsible for the safety and management of your own private Ethereum wallets and validating all transactions and contracts generated by this Platform before approval. Furthermore, as the smart contract runs on the Ethereum network, there is no ability to undo, reverse, or restore any transactions.
2.7 You understand that the prices of NFTs are extremely volatile and fluctuations in the prices of other NFTs may impact the price of your NFTs both positively and negatively. Given the volatility, NFTs should not be considered an investment. Accordingly, no information on the Platform (or any other documents mentioned therein) is or may be considered to be advice or an invitation to enter into an agreement for any investment purpose. Further, nothing on the Platform qualifies or is intended to be an offering of securities in any jurisdiction nor does it constitute an offer or an invitation to purchase shares, securities, or other financial products. The sale of NFTs by White Sands Metaverse has not been registered with or approved by any regulator in any jurisdiction. It remains your sole responsibility to assure that the purchase of an NFT and the associated artwork is in compliance with laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.

New regulations could negatively impact such technologies impacting the value for your NFT.

3. Ownership & Secondary Sales
3.1 The purchase price for an NFT is stated in a cryptocurrency amount. You may send payment from any digital wallet provider or from a self-hosted wallet, but the purchase will be conducted solely through the Ethereum network. We will have no insight into or control over these payments or transactions, nor do we have the ability to reverse any transactions. 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 or any other transactions that you conduct via the Ethereum network.
3.2 Ethereum requires the payment of a transaction fee referred to as a gas fee for every transaction that occurs on the Ethereum network. The gas fee funds the network of computers that run the decentralized Ethereum network. This means that you will need to pay a gas fee for cryptocurrency transactions and NFT transactions. The gas fees for NFTs are substantially higher than for cryptocurrency transactions and may actually exceed to the cost of an NFT.
3.3 (a) The risk in and responsibility for the NFT will transfer to you at the time the NFT is received in the digital wallet that you have specified, which time may be determined at our discretion, including through observation of the transfer on the blockchain on which the NFT is stored. We are not responsible for any uses you make of the NFT or for any future transfers you make of the NFT.
(b) You are responsible for implementing reasonable measures for securing the digital wallet or other storage mechanism you use to receive and hold the NFT, including any requisite private keys or other credentials necessary to access such storage mechanisms, and further you specifically acknowledge that the risk of acquiring the NFT from us, transferring the NFT to others, and holding or using the NFT or your digital wallet rests entirely with you. If your private keys or other access credentials are lost, you may lose access to your NFT. We are not responsible for any such losses, including, but not limited to, losses arising from third-party service providers.
(c) We are not responsible if the Artwork becomes inaccessible to you for any reason, or for any modifications or changes to the Artwork, including the Artwork being deleted. You acknowledge that we can make additional copies of, and distribute, the Artwork, and could sell or otherwise assign the copyright or other intellectual property rights or economic rights in the Artwork.
3.4 Your purchase of an NFT means you have full ownership rights in the NFT itself, including the right to store, sell and transfer your NFT. However, your purchase of the NFT does not provide any rights, express or implied, in (including, without limitation, any copyrights or other intellectual property rights in and to the Artwork associated with the NFT other than the rights provided to you on the Platform, such as to modify the Artwork, enter your parcel and structure built on the parcel, and to exclude others. Your rights and interest in the Artwork or NFT provided by these Terms will immediately terminate upon any subsequent sale, transfer, dispossession, burning or other relinquishment of the NFT. You may sell a Purchased NFT on a marketplace that permits the purchase and sale of your Purchased NFTs, provided that the marketplace cryptographically verifies each NFT owner’s rights to display the Artwork for their Purchased NFTs to ensure that only the actual owner can display the Art; or as part of a third–party platform or application that permits the inclusion, involvement, or participation of your NFTs, provided that the platform/application cryptographically verifies each NFT owner’s rights to display the Artwork for their Purchased NFTs to ensure that only the actual owner can display the Art, and provided that the Artwork is no longer visible once the owner of the purchased NFT leaves the platform/application.
3.5 An NFT Owner’s participation in the Platform is subject to any rules or policies adopted from time to time by White Sands Metaverse and posted on its Platform, including restrictions on architecture, types of structures, and activities and conduct of the NFT Owner or its avatar. Access to the Platform may be restricted if an NFT Owner violates these rules or policies.
