2.SALE OF GUARDIAN NFTs

Therefore, you should ensure you are aware of and agree to the terms and conditions that apply to (the use of) the Polygon network.

By buying a NFT, you agree to pay to us all applicable fees, costs and royalties and authorize us to automatically deduct these amounts directly from your payment.

2.5. Given the nature of the Guardian NFT and technology that is used for transactions, the execution of the transaction on the Polygon network directly commences after your purchase of a Guardian NFT and entails that you will immediately obtain, have access to and will be able to reveal the Digital Media connected with the Guardian NFT when the transaction is successfully completed.

If we are required to pay any taxes on your behalf, you will remit payment to KOG within five (5) days of notification by KOG.

2.7. Any website or (secondary) marketplace that is used for the purchase and sale of a Guardian NFT may impose its own terms and conditions that further govern your purchase or sale of a Guardian NFT. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these Terms and any other applicable terms and conditions, these Terms will prevail in your contractual relationship with KOG in connection with your purchase, sale and use of Guardian NFTs.

4.TERMS OF SALE, GUARDIAN NFTs PRICES & ASSUMPTIONS OF RISKS

4.1 All sales of Guardian NFTs are final. Once you have made a purchase of a Guardian NFT, you should promptly take the necessary steps to complete your transaction (e.g., activate or download any content, secure any seed phrase or corresponding private key, or take other steps required by third party services). We encourage the use of secure, offline storage measures for your NFTs. You may purchase Guardian NFTs using real or virtual/ cryptocurrency, where multiple payment options are made available to you. You may resell or otherwise transfer a Guardian NFT that you Own where this is permitted by these Terms and applicable law. Any sale or transfer must provide for the transfer of all of your rights then outstanding with respect to such Guardian NFT. Anyone receiving such Guardian NFTs from you agrees to and is bound by these Terms.

4.2 The First- Gen Guardians will be comprised of Common Guardians, Rare Guardians, Epic Guardians, Legendary Guardians, and Mythic Guardians, each with different boosting powers. The boost will depend on the rarity of the Guardians. Each Guardian comprises five parts: Crown, Eyes, Head, Body, and Legs. Each part has a booster (multiplier) associated with it. The sum of each booster is the final in-game reward booster the user will have. There will be a limited supply of 6400 First-Gen Guardians, comprised of 2,560 Common Guardians, 1728 Rare Guardians, 1152 Epic Guardians, 640 Legendary Guardians, and 320 Mythic Guardians.

4.3 All of the First-Gen Guardians will have an ability to summon another Guardian. Summoning combines the Guardians' powers to create a new Guardian generation. It is very similar to breeding; however, Guardians are gender neutral, and the only thing the “offspring” inherits is the summoning probabilities.

4.4. Guardians need to merge their powers to summon a new Guardian. To avoid hyperinflating Guardians, the Guardians’ energy supply is capped. After the energy supply is exhausted, summoning power is no longer available. Guardians do not disappear, nor do they get burned after Summoning a new Guardian. Even if the Guardians are not able to summon more Guardians, users will still be able to benefit from their booster powers.

4.5. ALL PURCHASES ARE FINAL. YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A REFUND FOR ANY REASON, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE MONEY OR OTHER COMPENSATION FOR UNUSED OR LOST DIGITAL ASSETS WHEN AN ACCOUNT IS CLOSED, WHETHER SUCH CLOSURE WAS VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY, UNLESS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

4.6 Any fiat currency payments via credit cards or other means will be directed to our unaffiliated third-party payment processor. All bank, credit card, or other payment information is sent directly to and stored with the payment processor using its security protocols. We do not store your payment information on our systems and shall not have any responsibility for the safety or security of that information. We may add or change any payment processing services at any time. Such services may be subject to additional terms or conditions including their privacy policies.

4.7. You understand that the value of the Guardian NFT, on the secondary market, may be extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the price or value of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of your Guardian NFT. We cannot guarantee – and therefore we cannot be held liable – that any Guardian NFT will not lose or will gain value (or have any economic value whatsoever) or have any kind of functionality or fitness for a particular purpose.

4.8. You understand that the price of each Guardian NFT may be split between KOG and third parties in varying percentages of the gross amounts paid by you on the basis of the contractual relationship governing our relationship with the subjects directly or indirectly connected to the sell and/or the utilities of the Guardian NFT.

4.9. You acknowledge and agree that the foregoing amounts payable to KOG do not include, and are not intended to cover, any additional costs imposed or required by Polygon or other third-party services, including, but not limited to, gas costs.

4.10. You also understand that there are risks associated with blockchain transactions and Guardian NFTs including, but not limited to, the effects of varying laws and regulations, the risk of failure or instability of hardware, operating systems, internet connections and the risk of other technological malfunctions, the risk of virus introduction, fraud, counterfeiting and cyberattacks as a result of which third parties may obtain unauthorized access to your digital collectible or personal information, and that blockchain transactions are in principle irreversible as a result of which any losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable. By purchasing and selling Guardian NFTs you are accepting sole responsibility for any and all transactions in connection with your purchase or sale of Guardian NFTs.
