Terms

Last Updated: August 8th, 2024

NBA Top Shot is an application that provides users with the opportunity to purchase, collect, and showcase digital blockchain collectibles containing exclusive content from the National Basketball Association (the “NBA”) and its current and former players (collectively, the “App”).

Dapper Labs, Inc. ("DLI", "we", or "us") is making the App available to you. Before you use the App, however, you will need to agree to these Terms of Use and any terms and conditions incorporated herein by reference (collectively, these “Terms"). PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE APP. THESE TERMS GOVERN YOUR USE OF THE APP, UNLESS WE HAVE EXECUTED A SEPARATE WRITTEN AGREEMENT WITH YOU FOR THAT PURPOSE. WE ARE ONLY WILLING TO MAKE THE APP AVAILABLE TO YOU IF YOU ACCEPT ALL OF THESE TERMS. BY USING THE APP OR ANY PART OF IT, OR BY CLICKING “I ACCEPT” BELOW OR INDICATING YOUR ACCEPTANCE IN AN ADJOINING BOX, YOU ARE CONFIRMING THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THESE TERMS. IF YOU ARE ACCEPTING THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO ACCEPT THESE TERMS ON THAT ENTITY’S BEHALF, IN WHICH CASE “YOU” WILL MEAN THAT ENTITY. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, OR IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT ALL OF THESE TERMS, THEN WE ARE UNWILLING TO MAKE THE APP AVAILABLE TO YOU. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE APP.

THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS AN ARBITRATION PROVISION (SEE SECTION 16).  PLEASE REVIEW THE ARBITRATION PROVISION CAREFULLY, SINCE  IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.  BY USING THE APP OR ANY PART OF IT, OR BY CLICKING “I ACCEPT” BELOW OR INDICATING YOUR ACCEPTANCE IN AN ADJOINING BOX, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE ARBITRATION PROVISION.

ANY PURCHASE OR SALE YOU MAKE, ACCEPT OR FACILITATE OUTSIDE OF THIS APP (AS DEFINED BELOW) OF A MOMENT (AS DEFINED BELOW) WILL BE ENTIRELY AT YOUR RISK. WE DO NOT CONTROL OR ENDORSE PURCHASES OR SALES OF MOMENTS OUTSIDE OF THIS APP. WE EXPRESSLY DENY ANY OBLIGATION TO INDEMNIFY YOU OR HOLD YOU HARMLESS FOR ANY LOSSES YOU MAY INCUR BY TRANSACTING, OR FACILITATING TRANSACTIONS, IN MOMENTS OUTSIDE OF THIS APP.

This document contains very important information regarding your rights and obligations, as well as conditions, limitations and exclusions that might apply to you. Please read it carefully.

These terms require the use of arbitration to resolve disputes, rather than recourse to the judicial system.    Dapper Labs Inc. ("we", "us" or “our”) is making the NBA Top Shot application (the “App”) available to you. The App provides users with the opportunity to purchase, collect and showcase digital blockchain collectibles containing exclusive National Basketball Association content. Before you use the App, you will need to agree to these Terms and Conditions of Use and any terms and conditions incorporated herein by reference (collectively, these “Terms”).

BY USING THE APP OR ANY PART OF IT, OR BY CLICKING “I ACCEPT” BELOW OR INDICATING YOUR ACCEPTANCE IN AN ADJOINING BOX, YOU ARE CONFIRMING THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THESE TERMS.

Any changes to these Terms will be in effect as of the “Last Updated Date” referred to at the top of this page. You should review these Terms before using the App or purchasing any product or using any services that are available through this App.

Your continued use of this App after the “Last Updated Date” will constitute your acceptance of and agreement to such changes.

By using this App, you affirm that you are of legal age to enter into these Terms, and you accept and are bound by these Terms. You affirm that if you are using this App on behalf of an organization or company, you have the legal authority to bind any such organization or company to these Terms.

You may not use this App if you: (i) do not agree to these Terms; (ii) are not of the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence; or (iii) are prohibited from accessing or using this App or any of this App’s contents, products or services by applicable law.

LIMITATION OF AVAILABILITY; PROHIBITED USERS

The App is not available in all jurisdictions or to all individuals, corporations, partnerships, trusts, unincorporated organizations, governmental offices or agencies, and the executors, administrators or other legal representatives of an individual in such capacity (“Persons”).

The following Persons are prohibited from using the App or any of our other services (each, a “Prohibited User”): (i) Persons who appear on the United States Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), Specially Designated Nationals List (SDN), United States Commerce Department’s Denied Persons or other similar lists; (ii) Persons who are nationals or residents of Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria or any other country, territory, or other jurisdiction that is embargoed by Canada, the United States or listed at Exhibit “A” of this Agreement; (iv) Persons who are not residents of and located in an Approved Region (Canada, the United States and those places not listed in Exhibit “A” to this Agreement and where the App is made available, such as it may be from time to time); (v) Persons, or their affiliates, who have been subject to an account termination for cause; (vi) Persons that are not individual natural persons, and (vii) a Person who, directly or indirectly, uses, employs, operates or creates a computer program to simulate the human behavior of a user (“Bots”).  We reserve the right to add or remove Approved Regions at our sole discretion.

You are prohibited from accessing or using the App (or any of our other services) in, from or through a location where your use of the App would violate any Applicable Law. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you are not a citizen or resident of any such jurisdiction, nor will you use the App while located or residing in any such jurisdiction.

We may implement controls to restrict access to the App from any jurisdiction from which use of the App is prohibited. You shall comply with such restrictions, even if the methods imposed by us to prevent the use of the App are not effective or can be bypassed.

1. USE OF THE APP; ACCOUNT SET-UP AND SECURITY

(i) Account and Wallet Set-Up. To most easily use the App, you should first install a web browser (such as the Google Chrome web browser).  You will also need to use the Dapper® electronic wallet or another supported electronic wallet, which will enable you to purchase and store collectibles that you collect or purchase via the App.  Each collectible is a Non-Fungible Token (an “NFT”) on the Flow™ blockchain network (the “Flow Network”). 

(ii) Account Registration. You must provide accurate and complete registration information when you create an account for the App. By creating an account, you agree to provide accurate, current and complete account information about yourself, and to maintain and promptly update your account information as necessary.  We reserve the right to reclaim usernames without liability to you.

(iii) Account Security. You are responsible for the security of your account for the App and for your electronic wallets. If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your password or of your account with us, you agree to notify us immediately at [email protected]

(iv) Account Transactions.  You can use your electronic wallet to purchase, store, and engage in transactions using your credit card, or via one or more cryptocurrencies that we may elect to accept from time to time. Transactions that take place on the App are managed and confirmed via the Flow Network.  You understand that your Flow Network public address will be made publicly visible whenever you engage in a transaction on the App.

 2. PURCHASING, EARNING, CRAFTING, AND LOCKING YOUR MOMENTS

(i) Moments. The App allows you to purchase, earn, craft, lock, trade, collect and showcase moments (each, a “Moment”) from the National Basketball Association (the “NBA”).  Each Moment is an NFT on the Flow Network. 

(ii) Characteristics of Moments. Moments are generally comprised of a photograph of one or more NBA players, a video of one or more NBA players, and a set of statistics that are associated with one or more NBA players.  Each Moment has a defined set of attributes – including scarcity – which may impact the potential resale value of the Moment. 

(iii) Subjectivity of Moments. The value of each Moment is inherently subjective, in the same way the value of other collectibles is inherently subjective. Moments have no inherent or intrinsic value. Some collectors might prefer to have a Moment featuring a certain NBA player, while another might prefer an equivalent Moment featuring a different NBA player.  Each NBA player can have more than one Moment associated with them, and those Moments will each have different characteristics.

(iv) Purchasing Moments. You can purchase Moments in two ways: (a) by buying packs of Moments from us on the App (each, a “Pack”); or (b) by buying Moments from other users in the App’s marketplace (the “Marketplace”). There are different types of Packs available for purchase on the App, and we reserve the right to modify the types, prices and numbers of Packs available at our discretion. Depending on the type of Pack you buy, you will collect Moments of varying levels of scarcity. Before you buy a Pack, we will let you know the types of Moments (but not the exact Moments) that are contained in that Pack as well as the probability of obtaining each possible pack construct (broken down by Moment scarcity), where applicable. 

You understand, agree, and acknowledge that you may not be eligible to purchase certain packs. Eligibility criteria, where applicable will be provided within the user interface. In addition, you understand that despite being eligible to purchase a pack(s), you may not be selected to purchase a pack(s).  

Certain packs will be distributed using an automated process that randomly selects eligible participants to purchase a pack(s) until the packs are sold out (a “Pack Drop”). The likelihood of selection during a Pack Drop depends on the number of eligible participants, time of entry, and the number of packs available for purchase. There is no purchase necessary in order to join a Pack Drop that you are eligible to participate in. Certain Pack Drops may require you to authorize DLI to place a funds or credit hold on your wallet in the amount of the retail value, plus applicable fees prior to joining the Pack Drop. You will not be charged the purchase amount until and unless you have been selected to purchase a pack. You can withdraw authorization up to 24 hours prior to the Pack Drop by submitting a Support Ticket here. The user interface will provide the funds and/or credit hold amount. You agree that if you are selected, we can complete the transaction using funds in your wallet or the credit card you entered during registration for the full retail value of the product you selected, plus applicable fees. If you are not selected your funds and/or credit hold will be released and you will not be charged. You agree that DLI has made no warranty, representation, or guarantee, expressed or implied, in fact or in law, relating to any eligibility to purchase a pack(s) during a Pack Drop.

Packs may also be distributed via a unique URL or similar mechanism that will permit you to purchase a pack(s) for a limited period. You understand, agree, and acknowledge that DLI is under no obligation to sell you a Pack if you do not complete your purchase during the allotted time and that DLI has made no warranty, representation, or guarantee, express or implied, in fact or in law, to provide you with a substitute opportunity to purchase a pack.  In addition, you understand and agree that you will not forward or otherwise distribute the unique URL to any other person. 

If you buy an individual Moment from another user in the Marketplace, you will know the exact Moment that you are purchasing. We strongly encourage you not to purchase Moments other than in Packs or on the Marketplace. If you decide to purchase Moments in any other way, you understand that such purchases will be entirely at your sole risk.

(v) Earning Moments. You can earn Moments for free by participating in certain challenges or marketing campaigns on the App, or by completing certain in-App tasks that we may make generally available from time to time.

(vi) Crating Moments: You can craft Moments by participating in certain Crafting/Burning Challenges on the App. 

(vii) Locking Moments: “Locking” your Moments enables you to show off your fandom and participate in certain team, player, and/or other in-product activations and leaderboards. 

(viii) Trading Moments: You can trade your Moments with other Users within the App’s user interface. 

(ix) Showcasing Moments: The “Showcase” feature of the App allows you to organize your Moments into collections, and show them to your friends.

3.  PAYMENT, GAS FEES, AND TAXES

(i) Financial Transactions on App. Any payments or financial transactions that you engage in via the App will be conducted solely through the Flow Network.  We have no control over these payments or transactions, nor do we have the ability to reverse any payments or transactions. We have no liability to you or to any third party for any claims or damages that may arise as a result of any payments or transactions that you engage in via the App, or any other payment or transactions that you conduct via the Flow Network. We do not provide refunds for any purchases that you might make on or through the App – whether for Moments, Packs, or anything else.

(ii) Gas Fees. Every transaction on the Flow Network requires the payment of a transaction fee (each, a “Gas Fee”). The Gas Fees fund the network of computers that run the decentralized Flow Network. This means that you will need to pay a Gas Fee for each transaction that you instigate via the App. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in these Terms, you will be solely responsible to pay any Gas Fee for any transaction that you instigate via the App.

(iii) Responsibility for Taxes. You will be solely responsible to pay any and all sales, use, value-added and other taxes, duties, and assessments (except taxes on our net income) now or hereafter claimed or imposed by any governmental authority (collectively, the “Taxes”) associated with your use of the App. Except for income taxes levied on us, you: (a) will pay or reimburse us for all national, federal, state, local or other taxes and assessments of any jurisdiction, including value added taxes and taxes as required by international tax treaties, customs or other import or export taxes, and amounts levied in lieu thereof based on charges set, services performed or payments made hereunder, as are now or hereafter may be imposed under the authority of any national, state, local or any other taxing jurisdiction; and (b) will not be entitled to deduct the amount of any such taxes, duties or assessments from payments (including Gas Fees) made to us pursuant to these Terms. To allow us to determine our tax obligations, unless you otherwise notify us in writing, you confirm that you are not a resident in Canada nor are you registered for Goods and services tax / Harmonized sales tax (GST / HST) or Provincial sales taxes (PST) in Canada, and will inform us if your status changes in the future.

4.  OWNERSHIP, LICENSE, AND OWNERSHIP RESTRICTIONS

YOUR OWNERSHIP OF MOMENTS WILL ONLY BE RECOGNIZED BY US IF YOU HAVE PURCHASED OR OTHERWISE RIGHTFULLY ACQUIRED SUCH MOMENTS FROM A LEGITIMATE SOURCE AND NOT THROUGH ANY OF THE CATEGORY B PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES (AS DEFINED BELOW).

For the purposes of this Section 4, the following capitalized terms will have the following meanings: 

“Art” means any art, design, and drawings (in any form or media, including, without limitation, video or photographs) that may be associated with a Moment that you Own.

“Own” means, with respect to a Moment, a Moment that you have purchased or otherwise rightfully acquired from a legitimate source (and not through any of the Category B Prohibited Activities (as defined below)), where proof of such purchase is recorded on the Flow Network.

“Purchased Moment” means a Moment that you Own. “Third Party IP” means any third party patent rights (including, without limitation, patent applications and disclosures), copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, know-how or any other intellectual property rights recognized in any country or jurisdiction in the world.

(i) Ownership of Moment.  Because each Moment is an NFT on the Flow Network,  when you purchase a Moment in accordance with these Terms (and not through any of the Category B Prohibited Activities), you own the underlying NFT completely.  This means that you have the right to swap your Moment, sell it, burn it, exchange it, upgrade it or give it away to the extent that such uses are made available in the App. Ownership of the Moment is mediated entirely by the Flow Network. Except as otherwise permitted by these Terms in cases where we determine that the Moment has not been rightfully acquired from a legitimate source (including, without limitation, through any of the Category B Prohibited Activities), at no point will we seize, freeze, or otherwise modify the ownership of any Moment.

(ii) We Own the App.  You acknowledge and agree that we (or, as applicable, our licensors) owns all legal right, title and interest in and to all other elements of the App, and all intellectual property rights therein (including, without limitation, all Art, designs, systems, methods, information, computer code, software, services, “look and feel”, organization, compilation of the content, code, data, and all other elements of the App (collectively, the “App Materials”)).  You acknowledge that the App Materials are protected by copyright, trade dress, patent, and trademark laws, international conventions, other relevant intellectual property and proprietary rights, and applicable laws. All App Materials are the copyrighted property of us or our licensors, and all trademarks, service marks, and trade names associated with the App or otherwise contained in the App Materials are proprietary to us or our licensors.

(iii) No User License or Ownership of App Materials. Except as expressly set forth herein, your use of the App does not grant you ownership of or any other rights with respect to any content, code, data, or other App Materials that you may access on or through the App. We reserve all rights in and to the App Materials that are not expressly granted to you in these Terms.

(iv) Further User Ownership Acknowledgements. For the sake of clarity, you understand and agree: (a) that your purchase of a Moment, whether via the App or otherwise, does not give you any rights or licenses in or to the App Materials (including, without limitation, our copyright in and to the associated Art) other than those expressly contained in these Terms; (b) that you do not have the right, except as otherwise set forth in these Terms, to reproduce, distribute, or otherwise commercialize any elements of the App Materials (including, without limitation, any Art) without our prior written consent in each case, which consent we may withhold in our sole and absolute discretion; and (c) that you will not apply for, register, or otherwise use or attempt to use any of our trademarks or service marks, or any confusingly similar marks, anywhere in the world without our prior written consent in each case, which consent we may withhold at our sole and absolute discretion.

(v)  User License to Art.  Subject to your continued compliance with these Terms, we grant you a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use, copy, and display the Art for your Purchased Moments, solely for the following purposes: (a) for your own personal, non-commercial use; (b) as part of a marketplace that permits the purchase and sale of your Purchased Moments, provided that the marketplace cryptographically verifies each Moment owner’s rights to display the Art for their Purchased Moment to ensure that only the actual owner can display the Art; or (c) as part of a third party website or application that permits the inclusion, involvement, or participation of your Purchased Moment, provided that the website/application cryptographically verifies each Moment’s owner’s rights to display the Art for their Purchased Moment to ensure that only the actual owner can display the Art, and provided that the Art is no longer visible once the owner of the Purchased Moment leaves the website/application.  

(vi) Restrictions on Ownership.  You agree that you may not, nor permit any third party to do or attempt to do any of the foregoing without our (or, as applicable, our licensors’) express prior written consent in each case: (a) modify the Art for your Purchased Moment in any way, including, without limitation, the shapes, designs, drawings, attributes, or color schemes; (b) use the Art for your Purchased Moment to advertise, market, or sell any third party product or service; (c) use the Art for your Purchased Moment in connection with images, videos, or other forms of media that depict hatred, intolerance, violence, cruelty, or anything else that could reasonably be found to constitute hate speech or otherwise infringe upon the rights of others; (d) use the Art for your Purchased Moment in movies, videos, or any other forms of media, except to the limited extent that such use is expressly permitted in these Terms or solely for your own personal, non-commercial use; (e) sell, distribute for commercial gain (including, without limitation, giving away in the hopes of eventual commercial gain), or otherwise commercialize merchandise that includes, contains, or consists of the Art for your Purchased Moment; (f) attempt to trademark, copyright, or otherwise acquire additional intellectual property rights in or to the Art for your Purchased Moment; or (g) otherwise utilize the Art for your Purchased Moment for your or any third party’s commercial benefit.

(vii) Third Party IP. If the Art associated with your Purchased Moment contains Third Party IP (e.g., licensed intellectual property from the NBA or an NBA player), you understand and agree as follows: (a) that you will not have the right to use such Third Party IP in any way except as incorporated in the Art, and subject to the license and restrictions contained herein; (b) that, depending on the nature of the license granted from the owner of the Third Party IP, we may need to (and reserve every right to) pass through additional restrictions on your ability to use the Art; and (c) to the extent that we inform you of such additional restrictions in writing, you will be responsible for complying with all such restrictions from the date that you receive the notice, and that failure to do so will be deemed a breach of the license contained in this Section 4.

(viii) Other Terms of License.  The license granted in Section 4(v) above applies only to the extent that you continue to Own the applicable Purchased Moment. If at any time you sell, swap, donate, give away, transfer, or otherwise dispose of your Purchased Moment for any reason, the license granted in Section 4(v) will immediately expire with respect to that Moment without the requirement of notice, and you will have no further rights in or to the Art for that Moment. The restrictions in Sections 4(vii) and 4(viii) will survive the expiration or termination of these Terms.

(ix) User  Feedback.  You may choose to submit comments, bug reports, ideas or other feedback about the App, including without limitation about how to improve the App (collectively, “Feedback”). By submitting any Feedback, you agree that we are free to use such Feedback at our discretion and without additional compensation to you, and to disclose such Feedback to third parties (whether on a non-confidential basis, or otherwise). You hereby grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide license under all rights necessary for us to incorporate and use your Feedback for any purpose.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WE HAVE MADE THE APP AVAILABLE TO YOU AND ENTERED INTO THESE TERMS IN RELIANCE UPON THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES,  DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN, WHICH REFLECT A REASONABLE AND FAIR ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN US AND YOU AND FORM AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN US AND YOU. WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE APP TO YOU WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS.

9. ASSUMPTION OF RISK

(i) Value and Volatility. The prices of collectible blockchain assets are extremely volatile and subjective and collectible blockchain assets have no inherent or intrinsic value. Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of your Moments, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. Each Moment has no inherent or intrinsic value. We cannot guarantee that any Moments purchased will retain their original value, as the value of collectibles is inherently subjective and factors occurring outside of the NBA Top Shot ecosystem may materially impact the value and desirability of any particular Moment.

(ii) Tax Calculations. You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your Moment-related transactions. We are not responsible for determining the taxes that apply to your transactions on the App.

(iii) Use of Blockchain. The App does not store, send, or receive Moments. This is because Moments exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on the App’s supporting blockchain in the Flow network. Any transfer of Moments occurs within the supporting blockchain in the Flow network, and not on the App.

(iv) Inherent Risks with Internet Currency. 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 electronic 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 Flow Network, however caused.

(v) Risks with Completing Challenges: You may be required to purchase, obtain, and/or burn Moments In order to complete a Challenge and receive a Challenge Reward or prize. Each Challenge Reward has no inherent or intrinsic value unless otherwise noted in the Official Challenge Rules. 

(vi) Burning Moments: Certain features may require you to burn a Moment(s) in order to receive, unlock, or craft a reward or prize. You understand, agree, and acknowledge that: (a) your use of such features are at your sole discretion; (b) you are solely responsible for selecting and verifying the Moments from your Collection that will be burned; (c) you are burning Moments in order to obtain a Prize or Reward; (d) Moments burned will cease to exist in the ecosystem and this action cannot be reversed; and (d) you will no longer own the NFT or retain licensed rights to burned Moments.

(vii) Locking Moments and Leaderboards: You understand, agree, and acknowledge that: (a) if you choose to lock one or more of your Moments, you cannot sell, gift, burn, withdraw, or trade in any Moments that you have locked for as long as they remain locked (the duration of the lock will be specified in the App, and may vary from activation to activation); (b) you are locking your Moment(s) in order to express your fandom using the leaderboards feature for a particular team and/or player, and/or participate in a specific activation without expectation of receiving a prize; (c) In the event that a prize is awarded and unless otherwise expressly set forth in rules for the applicable activation, DLI does not guarantee: (i) that you will will receive a reward or prize for locking your Moment(s); (ii) the type of prizes that will be made available; and/or (iii) the number of prizes that will be awarded; and (d) you are solely responsible for selecting and verifying the Moment(s) you intend to lock. 

You understand, agree, and acknowledge that: (a) DLI reserves the right to change the leaderboards feature scoring logic and calculation in its sole discretion without notice to you; and (b) we will not be responsible for any impact to your placement on any leaderboard as result of such changes.

(viii) Regulatory Uncertainty. The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies and tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the NBA Top Shot ecosystem, and therefore the potential utility or value of your Moments.

(ix) Software Risks. Upgrades to the Flow Network, a hard fork in the Flow Network, or a change in how transactions are confirmed on the Flow Network may have unintended, adverse effects on all blockchains using the Flow Network’s NFT standard, including the NBA Top Shot ecosystem.  

10. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to hold harmless and indemnify us and our parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, employees, advertisers, licensors, suppliers or partners from and against any claim, liability, loss, damage (actual and consequential) of any kind or nature, suit, judgment, litigation cost and attorneys' fees arising out of or in any way related to: (i) your breach of these Terms; (ii) your misuse of the App; (iii) your accidental, unintentional, and/or unintended use of the App; or (iv) your violation of applicable laws, rules or regulations in connection with your access to or use of the App. You agree that we will have control of the defense or settlement of any such claims.

11. EXTERNAL SITES

The App may include hyperlinks to other websites or resources (collectively, the “External Sites”), which are provided solely as a convenience to our users.

(ii) Performance During Force Majeure Events. If we suffer a Force Majeure Event, we will use reasonable efforts to promptly notify you of the Force Majeure Event, stating the period of time the occurrence is expected to continue. We will use diligent efforts to end the failure or delay and ensure the effects of such Force Majeure Event are minimized. We will resume the performance of our obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the removal of the cause. In the event that our failure or delay remains uncured for a period of forty-five (45) consecutive days following written notice given by us under this Section 12, we may thereafter terminate these Terms upon fifteen (15) days' written notice.
