Last Revised: August 26, 2021
This “Terms of Use” constitute a contract between you and Pictta Limited ("Pictta", the “Company” “We”, “Us”) regarding your use of the services offered by Us (the "Services", "Pictta") on Pictta.com or any associated platforms, APIs, or mobile applications (collectively “Pictta Platform”, the "Platform"). By signing up an account on the Platform and using such account through the Platform, you agree that you have read, understood, and accepted all of the terms and conditions contained in this TOS, as well as our Privacy Policy. Please read them carefully.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT — To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, U.S. federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask for a copy of your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF PLATFORM CAREFULLY, AS THEY CONTAIN AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE AND OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES, AND OBLIGATIONS. THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE REQUIRES (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION) THAT YOU SUBMIT CLAIMS YOU HAVE AGAINST US TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION, AND FURTHER (1) YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO PURSUE CLAIMS AGAINST FOUNDATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING, (2) YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO SEEK RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND (3) YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE ANY CLAIMS YOU HAVE AGAINST US RESOLVED BY A JURY OR IN A COURT OF LAW.
Pictta reserves the right to change or modify these terms at any time and in our sole discretion. If we make changes to these terms, we will provide notice of such changes, such as by sending an email notification, providing notice through the service or updating the “last updated” date at the beginning of these terms. By continuing to access or use the service, you confirm your acceptance of the revised terms and all of the terms incorporated therein by reference. We encourage you to review the terms frequently to ensure that you understand the terms and conditions that apply when you access or use the service. If you do not agree to the revised terms, you may not access or use the service.
1. Description of the Services
Pictta is a marketplace for registered users (“Users”) to create and acquire digital collectibles on blockchains. We are not a broker, financial institution, or creditor. The services are an administrative platform only. Pictta facilitates transactions between the buyer and seller in the auction but is not a party to any agreement between the buyer and seller of Digital Creations (defined below) or between any users.
Digital Creations include, but are not limited to, images, audio, video, or other media formats. Each Digital Creation may be represented in the form of non-fungible token digital assets (“NFT”) that themselves may be created by reference to a smart contract on the Flow blockchain (and other blockchains may be available) created by Pictta (“Smart Contract”). The Platform will present the NFT of a Creator (collectively and individually, the “Digital Creation”) and individuals can browse Digital Creations and purchase NFTs associated with a Digital Creation (the availability of these Services on the Platform shall be referred to as the “Marketplace Services”).
2. Definitions
2.1 Collectors. Users will be able to search, browse, click on links, purchase and sell NFTs. The holder and legal owner of a NFT (“Collector”) will have no intellectual property rights to that Digital Creation.
2.2 Creators. Users will be able to upload Digital Creations onto the Platform (“Creators”). Pictta has sole discretion regarding acceptance and hosting of Digital Creations. Pictta reserves the right to immediately remove any Digital Creation from the Platform for any reason or for no reason without notice.
3. Access to the Platform

Unless otherwise indicated, any future release, update, or other addition to functionality of the Services and/or Platform shall be subject to these Terms of Use. All copyright and other proprietary notices on the Platform (or on any content displayed on the Platform) must be retained on all copies (and all portions of copies) thereof.
3.3 Modification of the Platform. Pictta reserves the right, at any time, to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Services and/or Platform (in whole or in part) with or without notice to you. You agree that Pictta will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Platform or any part thereof.
3.4 Modification of the Smart Contract. Pictta reserves the right, at any time, to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Smart Contract, and to mandate migration to a new version of the Smart Contract where Pictta deems it appropriate. Pictta also reserves the right to pause new bids or to close auctions in order to ensure orderly or efficient migration to a new version of the Smart Contract. Collectors and Creators will be given one week’s notice of any proposed migrations via email, if provided, and through Pictta’s social media channels including the Platform.
3.5 No Support or Maintenance. You acknowledge and agree that Pictta will have no obligation to provide you with any support or maintenance in connection with the Platform, unless specifically contracted for under a separate agreement.
4. Ownership
4.1 Excluding any User Content that you may provide (defined below), you acknowledge that all the intellectual property rights, including copyrights, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets, in the Platform and its content are owned by Pictta. Neither these Terms of Use (nor your access to the Platform) transfers to you or any third party any rights, title or interest in or to such intellectual property rights, except for the limited access rights expressly set forth in these Terms of Use. Pictta reserves all rights not granted in these Terms of Use. There are no implied licenses granted under these Terms of Use.
4.2 You acknowledge that all intellectual property underlying the Digital Creation is owned or controlled by the Creator.
5. User Content
5.1 User Content. “User Content” means any and all information, data, content, artwork, and/or other intellectual property, that you (whether a Creator, Collector, or other User) submit, upload, publish, or otherwise make available on or through the Platform (e.g. Digital Creations, content in the avatar, username, and Creator’s descriptions of Digital Creations, Users’ comments under the Digital Creation). You are solely responsible for your User Content. You assume all risks associated with use of your User Content, including any reliance on its accuracy, completeness or usefulness by others, or any disclosure of your User Content that personally identifies you or any third party.

You may not represent or imply to others that your User Content is in any way provided, sponsored or endorsed by Pictta. Because you alone are responsible for your User Content, you may expose yourself to liability if, for example, your User Content violates the Acceptable Use Policy. Pictta is not obligated to backup any User Content, and your User Content may be deleted at any time without prior notice.
5.2 Maintenance and Backups. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING AND MAINTAINING YOUR OWN BACKUP COPIES OF YOUR USER CONTENT, INCLUDING ANY MODIFIED AND UNMODIFIED DIGITAL CREATIONS FOR WHICH YOU HOLD A NFT OR OTHERWISE HOLD ANY RIGHTS. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT PICTTA MAY DISCONTINUE PROVIDING THE PLATFORM AND/OR THE SERVICES AT ANY TIME, AND PICTTA IS NOT AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR PRESERVING OR FAILING TO PRESERVE USER CONTENT, INCLUDING ANY MODIFIED AND UNMODIFIED DIGITAL CREATIONS FOR WHICH YOU HOLD A NFT OR OTHERWISE HOLD ANY RIGHTS.
5.3 Acceptable Use Policy. The following terms constitute our “Acceptable Use Policy”:
5.3.1 You agree not to engage in conduct and/or use the Platform to collect, upload, transmit, display, or distribute any User Content (i) that violates any third-party right, including any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, moral right, privacy right, right of publicity, or any other intellectual property or proprietary right; (ii) that is unlawful, harassing, abusive, tortious, threatening, harmful, invasive of another’s privacy, vulgar, defamatory, false, intentionally misleading, trade libelous, pornographic, obscene, patently offensive, promotes racism, bigotry, hatred, or physical harm of any kind against any group or individual or is otherwise objectionable; (iii) that is harmful to minors in any way; or (iv) that is in violation of any law, regulation, or obligations or restrictions imposed by any third party.

5.4 Enforcement. We reserve the right (but have no obligation) to review any User Content, and to investigate and/or take appropriate action against you in our sole discretion if you violate or may have violated the Acceptable Use Policy or any other provision of these Terms of Use or otherwise create liability for us or any other person. Such action may include delisting Digital Creations, deleting your profile, banning you from listing new Digital Creations, and/or reporting you to law enforcement authorities.
5.5 Feedback. If you provide Pictta with any feedback or suggestions regarding the Platform (“Feedback”), you hereby assign to Pictta all rights in such Feedback and agree that Pictta shall have the right to use and fully exploit such Feedback and related information in any manner it deems, in its sole discretion, appropriate. You agree that you will not submit to Pictta any information or ideas that you consider to be confidential or proprietary, and any Feedback provided to Pictta may be treated by Pictta as non-confidential and non-proprietary.
6. Indemnification.
You agree to indemnify and hold Pictta (and its officers, employees, and agents) harmless, including costs and attorneys’ fees, from any claim or demand made by any third party due to or arising out of (a) your use of the Platform, (b) your violation of these Terms of Use, (c) your violation of applicable laws or regulations or (d) your User Content. Pictta reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of these claims. You agree not to settle any matter without the prior written consent of Pictta. Pictta will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action or proceeding upon becoming aware of it.
7. Fees and Digital Creation Sales.
7.1 Digital Creation Sales. Pictta has a fee schedule on buyer and seller of the NFTs. Any fees imposed by Pictta shall be outlined in the buying and selling process on the Platform. Pictta may introduce premium services and impose fees related to such services in the future.
7.2 Payment.
7.2.1 In order to place a bid, offer or buy a NFT, you must have created a profile and provided an email address.
7.2.2 Purchases of NFTs and deposits for NFT auction sales can be paid with pre-paid USDC or using a credit card through one of Pictta’s payment processors. If you choose to pay using a credit card, you will be directed to our payment processor’s interface to enter your credit card and other payment details.
7.2.3 Your placing of a NFT order constitutes your express agreement to Pictta charging the full purchase price of the NFT at such time. You will be charged the full purchase price at the time of placing the order. All NFT orders are final and you may not cancel your NFT order at any time.
7.2.4 The placing of a NFT order does not guarantee you the right to purchase the NFT. You acknowledge and agree that Pictta may decline or delay reservations to avoid chargebacks.
8. Assumption of Risk.
You accept and acknowledge:
8.1 You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your purchases and sales of NFTs. Pictta is not responsible for determining the taxes that apply to NFT transactions.
8.2 Pictta is not responsible for exploits that are not reasonably foreseeable. While Pictta has taken a number of precautions to ensure the security of the Smart Contract, the technology is relatively new, and it is not possible to guarantee that the code is 100% free from bugs or errors.
8.3 There are risks associated with accepting cryptocurrencies as payment and purchasing blockchain based NFTs, including but not limited to, the risk of losing private keys, theft of cryptocurrency or NFTs due to hackers finding out your private key, lack of a secondary market, significant price volatility, hard forks and disruptions to the underlying blockchain. You accept and acknowledge that transfers on the underlying blockchain are irreversible and as a result, it is not possible for Pictta to issue refunds on NFT purchases.
8.4 Where a Digital Creation has been delisted from the Platform, Pictta will cease supporting services such as IPFS hosting for the Digital Creation and its NFT.
8.5 Pictta cannot guarantee payment of any royalties to Creators where transactions involving NFTs occur on third-party platforms or directly between Collectors.
9. Third-Party Links & Ads; Other Users
9.1 Other Users. Each User is solely responsible for any and all of its own User Content. Any descriptions and explanations of Digital Creations are posted for informational purposes only and may not be independently verified by Pictta and/or its partners. Therefore, your reliance on such information is at your own risk. You should always verify information on our Platform before making a bid or purchase. Because we do not control User Content and/or other third-party platforms and resources, you acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for the accuracy or availability of any User Content and materials and/or external sites or resources, whether provided by you or by others. We make no guarantees regarding the accuracy, currency, suitability, or quality of any User Content. Your interactions with other Users are solely between you and such Users. You agree that Pictta will not be responsible for any loss or damage incurred as the result of any such interactions. If there is a dispute between you and any User, we are under no obligation to become involved.
9.2 Release. You hereby release and forever discharge Pictta (and our officers, employees, agents, successors, and assigns) from, and hereby waive and relinquish, each and every past, present and future dispute, claim, controversy, demand, right, obligation, liability, action and cause of action of every kind and nature (including personal injuries, death, and property damage), that has arisen or arises directly or indirectly out of, or that relates directly or indirectly to, the Platform and/or User Content (including any interactions with, or act or omission of, Users or any links or advertisements of third-parties). IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU HEREBY WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542 IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING, WHICH STATES: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”
